Chapter 53: Conspiracy Theories
Du Maomao looked at the three crystal clear lotus seeds in the Chu singer and couldn't help but be overjoyed. He had been acquainted with pharmacology at the age of ten, and how could he not recognize what it was? Therefore, he did not care about the bottle containing the snow water, grabbed a snow lotus seed, and hurried to the cave.
Mo Shou was not only seriously injured, but the red feather poison also stayed in his body for more than half a month, although Du Maomao helped him suppress the toxin, but he himself said that the effect of snow water was minimal. And this Mo Shou survived with a breath, and even Chu Ge admired such a new character.
The effect of snow lotus seeds was indeed obvious, but it did not make Mo Shou immediately better, so under Chu Ge's urging, Du Maomao had no choice but to carry him on his back to the way home. Now, there are still two snow lotus seeds left, and Chu Ge also gave one to Du Maomao, the elixir he left for himself and Tang Yan'er that day really came in handy, and this snow lotus seed was used as a favor.
Naturally, there was a lot less fun on the way home, and Tang Yan'er seemed to have become a lot more sensible, so she went to the river to catch a few swimming fish in the evening, although the little girl was not very good at these things, but fortunately the fish were not scorched. And when Du Maomao saw this, he showed a ghostly expression.
On the third day, Mo Shou woke up and listened to Du Maomao tell what had happened, but the expression on his face was very calm, neither the joy of escaping death, nor the sadness of the death of his junior brother and the people of the Martial Pavilion. He was a little weak, and while the three of them were busy fiddling with the grilled fish in front of the fire, Momori just calmly looked into the distance, as if thinking about something.
"Is he dumb?" Du Maomao remembered that when he told Mo Shou about the birth of ruins in Ice and Snow Valley, the other party was only stunned, and then he didn't show any affection again, let alone talk.
"Shut up!" Tang Yan'er glared at him, and Du Maomao immediately deflated when he heard this.
Chu Ge was helpless, this Du Maomao was very proud in front of others, but he didn't dare to contradict Tang Yan'er at all. He smiled, took out a grilled fish from the fire, and walked over to Momori with it.
"Du Maomao said you are dumb. Chu Ge betrayed Du Maomao without hesitation, but the other party ignored him at all.
"Are you so dumb?"
He has never been a boring person, let alone discussing boring topics with boring people, this Moshou, is really not likable at all, but just as he put down the grilled fish and prepared to leave, Moshoucai finally spoke, of course, the words that came out of his mouth were naturally not interesting.
"Don't you think it's strange?" Mo Shou didn't look at Chu Ge, let alone the grilled fish, he just looked in the direction where the Nebula Sect was located, as if he was talking to himself.
There have been many strange things that have happened in the past month, such as Tang Yan'er has become well-behaved, such as Du Maomao has gained weight again in such a difficult environment, how can Chu Ge know what he means by strange things, but the next words made his expression a little solemn.
He turned his gaze and looked at Chu Ge and said lightly: "The rest of the major sects all know that there will be ruins in the Ice and Snow Valley, and this matter has even alarmed the Star Palace, why is there not even a little wind in the Nebula Sect?"
"It's just that the demon flowers are in full bloom, and our group can definitely crush the disciples from various sects, otherwise the sect master will not let the little junior sister come together, but in fact, on the contrary, our team is the weakest one in the Ice and Snow Valley. ”
When Chu Ge heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Could it be that someone wants to harm me? I haven't offended anyone!"
Mo Shou's face showed disdain, and Chu Ge coughed dryly twice before continuing: "Okay, I want to become the Seven Swords, even the disciples of the whole sect have reasons to be unfavorable to me, but who has such a great ability? Yan'er is also in our team, who dares to ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, Chu Ge stared at Tang Yan'er not far away, his face gloomy. He seems to have overestimated his own value a little, if the assumption of conformism is true, it is worth the other party to spend so much effort to hide from the whole sect, it can only be Tang Yan'er alone, only this future sect master has such value, and their group of people is just incidental victims in this conspiracy.
"Who is it?" Chu Ge believed that there were definitely not many people in the entire Nebula Sect who had this motive and also had such an ability.
Mo Shou didn't speak, as soon as Tang Yan'er died, the entire Nebula Sect was bound to be in chaos, the Demon Suppression Tower had a change, and the old sect master had old injuries in his body, in order to prevent trouble, the sect conference was advanced, and this trip to the Ice and Snow Valley was to hone Tang Yan'er, and it was also to polish the last sword. But in a certain part of this process, someone did something to them, as soon as these few of them died, the Nebula Sect would face a reshuffle, and the person who was most likely to become the young sect master in this reshuffle, he could only think of one.
Of course, this is only his own conjecture after all, although he has good reason to doubt, but there is no sufficient evidence to draw conclusions.
Chu Ge's eyes narrowed slightly, he was not interested in participating in the power disputes of the high-level of the Nebula Sect at all, but his current identity was destined to not be able to put these things aside. What's more, he doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want that cute and stubborn little girl to fall victim to these conspiracies.
"After we return to the Nebula Sect, the Sect Master will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly......
"If someone really did something behind this matter, then we shouldn't have returned to the sect so smoothly. Chu Ge's expression was solemn, and then he looked at Mo Shou and said, "With all due respect, I originally thought you were a nerd." ”
Instead of getting angry, Moshou's answer was more serious: "Before this, I thought you were just an idiot, but ...... Idiots will not escape from the pursuit of Red Feather Red Makeup, will not get alive from the pockets of the masters of various sects, and will not come out of the ruins alive. ”
"Are you complimenting me?"
Being stared at by Moshou's bright eyes for a long time will inevitably make people panic, although he and Tang Yan'er have concealed many details, but the matter of the ruins will be known to them sooner or later, even if they don't say it. Du Maomao was provoked by Tang Yan'er's description, and this confite was obviously not so easy to deceive, but fortunately he didn't ask, this person's analytical ability can be seen from the previous conversation, if he really brought the topic to this, Chu Ge might show something.
Of course, the two did not inform Tang Yan'er of this matter, but the two of them did not relax their vigilance in the next journey. According to common sense, the mastermind behind this matter would definitely send a killer before they arrived at the Nebula Sect, but unexpectedly, the road was surprisingly calm, not to mention the killer, not even a single demon beast appeared.
In a gorgeous building of the Nebula Sect, an old man in a black robe sat on a chair above, his fingers tapping on the table with strength and rhythm, and the sound of "tuk tuk" seemed to hit people's hearts, making people feel quite bored.
"Chu Ge...... Chu Ge ...... is really a little capable, Yan'er's girl really let him save her. The old man's voice was a little hoarse, and he couldn't hear the joy or anger.
The firelight danced cautiously, and a young man stood respectfully below, smiling slightly: "It's just that the plan has to be extended for a while, but the result will not change because of this......"
The mountain is still the same mountain, and the stone steps at the foot of the mountain are still out of sight, according to the day, the sect conference should be held in two days, but fortunately, Chu Ge and Mo Shou still have time to make some preparations.
"I won't show mercy to your subordinates at the sect conference because of that snow lotus seed, that's really a bit stupid. Mo Shou looked at Chu Ge and said expressionlessly.
"If you can heal your wounds in two days, I'll take your last name. Chu Ge sneered unceremoniously, this guy is still walking very reluctantly, and his mouth is very hard.
After the task was completed, several people parted ways, and Du Maomao disappeared as soon as he returned to the sect, his excitement as if he wanted to kiss every inch of this mountain. Although Du Lanxin is often in charge of him in the sect, compared to the life outside, this place is simply a paradise.
And Chu Ge also wanted to return to the small courtyard as soon as possible, but the sound of small footsteps behind him made him a little helpless.
"Come out......"
Tang Yan'er poked her head out of the corner of the wall, with a faint flush on her cheeks, looking a little shy, like a little daughter-in-law wanting to see her in-laws, she always couldn't help but be nervous.
"I heard...... Senior Sister Shi Lan's cooking skills are very good?"
After a while, Tang Yan'er mustered up the courage to say this, but Chu Ge couldn't help twitching slightly from the corners of his eyes when he heard this.
