The scorpion smiled, looked at the five elders curiously, and said, "The five elders are really not simple!" I think I have one of the best skills in hiding my breath, and some people who are above me can't detect my strength or weakness, so I can't hide it from your eyes! ”

"Ordinary martial artists rely on their own spiritual power to estimate the strength of other martial artists, while our cultivators rely on their noses, I smell the unusual aura on your body, of course, I also smell it" The fifth elder paused, smiled at the scorpion, "I'm sorry, with all due respect, the breath on your body is too fragrant, and few men have such a strong aroma!" ”

The scorpion couldn't help but be shocked, and said in his heart, it turned out that this world was not as safe as he imagined, and the so-called cultivator's nose was too powerful, and he smiled frankly: "Don't hide it from the fifth elder, it is indeed a daughter's body, because I occasionally get this silkworm steel wire treasure robe, but it is also a man's clothes, so I often look at people in men's clothes, and it is also convenient to walk in men's clothes!" As for the ability, it is indeed enough to settle the twelve flower slaves, if it weren't for Meng Qi saying that he must do it himself, I think I would not let go of any of the people in the courtyard! ”

In fact, smelling the strength of the scorpion, the five elders only judged it based on the strong aroma of the scorpion, he just felt that the strength of the scorpion should be above himself, but he didn't think that what the scorpion said was enough to level the twelve flower slaves, not to mention, the twelve flower slaves are all high-level cultivators, and in terms of their own Xuandao beginner strength, it is not so easy to deal with, frowned slightly, and turned to see the scorpion's calm and confident appearance. It's not like someone who likes to brag. So he asked cautiously, "I wonder what kind of strength Miss is now?" ”

"Just reached the Holy Emperor!" The scorpion touched his chin. He smiled and said humbly.

The five elders were stunned suddenly, and then stared at the scorpion for a long time like an antique master appreciating a rare treasure, until the scorpion coughed a little embarrassed twice, then withdrew his eyes, and saluted apologetically: "The junior has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, I don't know that Your Excellency is the senior of the Holy Emperor stage, it's really rude!" ”

Once again, it was called a senior. As if the Holy Emperor level was destined to be associated with old antiques and living fossils, the scorpion smiled helplessly, but he was not interested in arguing more, just said lightly: "I am commensurate with Meng Qi's sisters, and you will call me a scorpion with Meng Qi in the future!" ”

The Fifth Elder's eyes looked at Meng Qi a little deeper, and he began to wonder where Meng Qi had gone in the past ten years. I can't help but feel a little happy in my heart, it seems that I made the right bet this time. Originally, he was just on good terms with the patriarch, and he and his wife were like-minded, so he heard that the spies came to report. It is said that the Great Elder wants to solve Meng Qi, who was deceived by Meng Bo to the small courtyard in the south, out of friendship for the old man. I want to save the little girl's life, but now I think differently. Just now I saw Meng Qi's moves to deal with Meng Bo, not inferior to the senior cultivator, the plants she carried on her body are far beyond what the current strength of the Meng family can cultivate, plus her own strength has also entered the ecliptic, she is even better than the second lady who is now fighting for the position of patriarch, and the most important thing is that she is the son of the patriarch and is the most qualified to inherit the position of the patriarch. A smile rose at the corner of the fifth elder's mouth, and he said in his heart that when Meng Qi ascended to the position of patriarch, it was when he turned over and raised his eyebrows, and he could finally get rid of the name of the powerless and powerless Elder Yaoyao!

Walking and chatting along the way, soon the three of them arrived at the small courtyard, walked into the fence, and were greeted by three bamboo houses connected together, under the leadership of the five elders, Scorpion and Meng Qi walked into the middle of a bamboo house, the furnishings of the bamboo house were very simple, a table of four futons and a few potted plants, that's all.

The fifth elder politely made tea for the two of them, sat down, and asked with concern, "Qi'er, where have you been all these years, why is there no news at all?" Everyone in the clan said that you were dead, and even I thought you were no longer alive, but when the spies came to report, I was really surprised! ”

"Fifth Elder, how did my father die?" Meng Qi didn't answer the Fifth Elder's question, but asked eagerly.

"In fact, there are indeed strange things about the death of the patriarch, and the doctor's diagnosis is that the heart cannot bear the huge load and dies suddenly, so it can only be said that it is a heart disease. I, several elders and the old patriarch suspected that the patriarch had died of poisoning, but we examined the body, and there were no signs of poisoning, nor any minor wounds or anything unusual. If there is no evidence, it will have to be closed, by the way, Qi'er, do you know that the patriarch and the lady are still alive? The fifth elder pondered for a moment and said in a fifteen-ten.

"You know, when I first left home, I would secretly come back every year to see my father and mother, and they knew where I was! And, they also agreed that I grew up outside of my family! Meng Qi said dejectedly.

"Then the cause of your mother's death is even more strange. Because, your mother is not a local and has no relatives, if you think that you are no longer alive, then it makes sense for her to have nothing to worry about and go with the patriarch, but you are still in the world, I think she should be reluctant to leave you alone to face such an embarrassing and dangerous situation now! The Fifth Elder said thoughtfully.

"Yes! I also think so, the causes of death of my father and mother are strange, Meng Bo seems to know something, but when he was about to speak, he was killed by Meng Er! Meng Qi said.

"Then there must be something strange in this, otherwise that Meng Er would not be so eager to kill people, and Meng Er must know the ins and outs of this matter" Scorpion concluded categorically.

"What then? Meng Bo used to be his father's person, and it is still possible to know some things from his mouth, Meng Er is Aunt Liu's person through and through, and he is desperate for Aunt Liu, how can he pry his mouth open? Meng Qi said with some despair.

The scorpion smirked and said cheerfully: "If you can't pry your mouth, just pry your head open!" Don't worry, I'll take care of it! ”

The Fifth Elder and Meng Qi looked at the scorpion in confusion, and it just so happened that the scorpion met their eyes, nodded at them, and then saw the scorpion easily pick up the cup next to him and taste it. The two looked back at each other, and they had a tacit understanding, and they didn't ask too much.

The five elders have reached the level of worship for the Holy Emperor-level martial artists, and regard them as omnipotent gods, even if the scorpion says something incredible, he believes it, and he doesn't dare to question more, while Meng Qi feels that the scorpion is not a person who likes to talk big and empty words, and the trust in the scorpion is from the heart, so she also chooses to trust her.

Now that the previous question was solved, the Fifth Elder went straight to the point and asked, "Qi'er, if you really find out that the patriarch and his wife died unexpectedly, what will you do?" ”

"The revenge of killing my father and mother is not shared, so if it has anything to do with this matter, I, Meng Qi, will not let go of any of them!" Meng Qi's face instantly became solemn, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"Qi'er, the fifth elder has an idea, I wonder if you would like to hear it?" The Fifth Elder continued.

"Fifth Elder, just say it." Meng Qi responded cheerfully.

"Now the Meng family is in a state of fragmentation, mainly the patriarch has no one to inherit, first of all, the second miss, no matter how good the second miss is, how strong the forces behind it are, she is always a concubine, many people in the clan are not convinced, followed by your second uncle, Meng Xian, he was originally not qualified to inherit the position of the patriarch, but he grasped the disadvantages of the second miss is concubine, and felt that compared with the second lady of the concubine, he, the son of the old patriarch, is more qualified to inherit, and he has also cultivated a lot of his own power in the clan over the years, and the second lady are evenly matched. Originally, the two of them competed for the throne, and it had nothing to do with the old patriarch, after all, no matter what, they were both members of the Meng family, but recently the old patriarch found that both of them were very close to the big family outside, and it seemed that there were supporters behind them, and the old patriarch was afraid that the family would become a pawn of the big family outside, so he was not at ease, so he had to come out first to preside over the overall situation, while temporarily acting as the patriarch, stabilizing both sides, and looking for a suitable heir, but such a balance seemed to be unable to support for a while, and the suitable heir had no clue. Miss, you came back to help my Meng family, you are right, and now you are such a powerful cultivator, I think it will definitely be expected by everyone" The fifth elder said and said with some excitement.

However, before he finished speaking, he was splashed from head to foot by Meng Qi with a basin of cold water, only to see Meng Qi interrupt very sternly: "I will not fight for the patriarch, and as soon as the matter of my father and mother is over, I will go back and never set foot in Huayu City!" ”

Meng Qixuan came back at this time not to compete for the position, the fifth elder couldn't believe his ears, and at the same time, there was a burst of disappointment in his heart, and he looked at the scorpion for help, seeing the scorpion shrugging helplessly at him, he felt even more unpleasant in his heart, but he didn't plan to give up, took a breath, and continued to persuade with his three-inch incorruptible tongue: "Old patriarch, back then, in order to make the family more prosperous, in order to let his wife have enough rights to suppress those who opposed her entering the family, so that she could have a foothold in the family, Give up the patriarch and fulfill your father and mother, can you bear to see him worry about the family in his twilight years now? The fifth elder knows that when you were young, the family treated you too much, but the old patriarch always stood on the side of the patriarch and never blamed you! Also, if you don't fight for the position of patriarch, don't you just weigh the hearts of those who want to harm your family of three? How are you going to explain this to the patriarch and his wife? (To be continued......)
