Chapter 40: Worry

After the poisoning happened last night, Xie Qingning began to think about the incident between the Lan family and the Han family, and felt that there was a lot of trouble in it, so he quietly slipped into the guest room and performed the "soul search technique" on the frozen Xie Tan, which did not hurt her body, and she only extracted the latest memory, and sure enough, she found that half a month ago, more than ten disciples of the Lan, Han, and Xie families met together to go to Wufu Mountain, which was thousands of miles away. After that, I knew the whole story, and finally understood why Xie Tan was seriously injured.

It turned out that he was not innocently implicated, but was killed by someone with a heart, and he was only blamed for hiding this matter deeply, and even Xie Huazhao, who had always been a good friend, did not confide in him.

From Xie Tan's memory, Xie Qingning felt that the magic weapon was against the sky and different, it flashed with nine-colored brilliance, like a lotus platform that could change its size freely, but it only appeared automatically when the disciples concentrated their firepower to deal with a fifth-order demon beast, and then it took away all the brilliance and restored it to an ornament only the size of a palm.

Xie Qingning almost didn't have to imagine that the other Xie disciple who participated in this matter was either bought or killed, and neither of them was a descendant of the Xie family, so the Xie family didn't know anything about this matter, which was really embarrassing.

Having said that, even if Xie Zhongshu knew about this, with the Xie family's current trend of becoming more and more decadent, he probably wouldn't dare to openly compete with the Lan clan, but the Han clan was very kind, and he dared to tear his face to get that magic weapon, which made the matter bigger and alarmed the Ye clan's royal family to come forward.

Xie Qingning chose to tell Ye Hanxiao this secret, just hoping to make this matter as big as possible, so that no one could put their minds on her, so that she could continue to cultivate, and she would not have to deal with all kinds of cold arrows and calculations all day long.

She understands the truth that you can only fish in troubled waters.

Thinking of this, her steps became a little brisker, looking up at the waning moon that had been hidden behind the clouds, and the corners of her lips gradually outlined a perfect arc.

"Third brother, are you sure that there was also Xie Ting in the training team that time?" Although the snow was falling outside, it was silent, and the entire bamboo courtyard was shrouded in the tranquility of the winter night, causing Xie Qingning's exclamation to be extremely loud, and Xie Huazhao and Lan Yongzhi, who were sitting around the fire, were stunned at the same time.

"yes, what's wrong?" Xie Huazhao raised his head and looked at Xie Qingning on the other side in confusion.

Although Xie Qingning offered a plan to the prince of Zhengyang yesterday, he only wanted to use his hand to disturb the situation in Lanling City, but he didn't expect that Xie Ting, the eldest disciple of the three elders, was also involved in this matter, this person was the most protective of his shortcomings, if he could provoke the contradiction between him and the prince, Xie Qingning would be very happy to see it.

After thinking for a moment, she picked up the tongs by the stove and took out the sweet potatoes that had been roasted from the charcoal fire, endured the scalding and peeled off a piece of skin, and made sure that the inside was baked before handing it to Lan Yongzhi and asked, "Lan Gongzi, do you know who from the Lan clan participated in that training mission?" ”

Lan Yongzhi's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he reached out to take the roasted sweet potato but did not peel it off immediately, but muttered for a long time before saying, "As far as I know, in addition to my second uncle's second son Lan Pingzhi and my fifth aunt's daughter Lan Ying, there is also a disciple of Elder Keqing who is also involved. But this matter was very important to the Lan family, so my grandfather had already forbade anyone to ask about it, and the three disciples didn't know where they were received. ”

Listening to his tone, this matter should have been the Lan family's secret, but he was willing to share it with him, which surprised Xie Qingning. She blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "I don't mean to ask, I just think this matter is very strange, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

"I ...... Nothing to worry about. Lan Yongzhi's face was slightly pale, and he hurriedly lowered his head and focused on peeling the sweet potato.

Xie Qingning knew that he was thin-skinned and couldn't stand the ridicule, so he didn't continue, but thought about how to drag the Third Elder and Xie Ting into this troubled water while roasting the fire, so that they could also suffer some hardships.

"Seventh sister, Xie Tan is okay?" Seeing that the scene suddenly cooled down, Xie Huazhao asked while reaching out and turning over the sweet potatoes in the fire.

"He's fine, you don't have to worry."

"Well, that's good, yesterday the eldest uncle asked me about his situation, I only said that the injury was very serious, and I was temporarily placed in the Zhuangzi outside to recuperate, fortunately he didn't say anything more, otherwise I was really worried that he would ask to meet Xie Tan."

"Oh?" Xie Huazhao's words made Xie Qingning's heart feel slightly cold, could it be that Xie Zhongshu had also heard about the strange treasure? It stands to reason that the Lan and Han clans will definitely cover up this matter tightly, after all, there are only three disciples of the Xie family involved in this matter, Xie Tan is not very famous, I heard that another disciple also died of illness, Xie Ting deliberately concealed what he did not say, it is impossible for Xie Zhongshu to know about this matter, could it be that he also thought of another inside story because of the dispute between the two families?

If even Xie Zhongshu guessed the trickiness in it, he would definitely start with Xie Tan, which was not a good thing for Xie Qingning.

Therefore, she thought for a moment before saying, "Third brother, although Xie Tan is frozen now, if he can't find the master who has received the bones, we don't know how long he can last, I think it's better for you to go and talk to the eldest uncle, just say that he has died of injuries, so as not to be disturbed." What's more, he is now also involved in the incident of the training, if someone knows that he is still alive, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles, and my bamboo courtyard will not be at peace. ”

Xie Qingning's words reminded Xie Huazhao, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, it's all my fault for being confused, and I should have answered my uncle like this yesterday." Perhaps, tomorrow I will go to the long room again, and I will say that Xie Tan has died of his injuries tonight, and I will take care of the aftermath for him, so as not to disturb your peace. ”

"It's so good, there is a third brother Lao." Xie Qingning chuckled, that smile was like a cold plum blooming, which made Lan Yongzhi's eyes unfocused, and he couldn't take his eyes off it for a long time.
