On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

After half a month of careful recuperation, Liu Xunyi's injuries have recovered. Early in the morning, Lin Fang sent him Luo Tianjin's order, summoning him to go to the middle hall at noon.

Being able to go to the middle hall to discuss matters is definitely an extremely rare honor in the Xianwang Mansion. On weekdays, only the lord of the house, the seven heroes and the three fans have this qualification. Even the eight masters in the mansion are not often summoned by Luo Tianjin, but they are only temporarily summoned when they have occasional errands.

Today, Luo Tianjin personally summoned Liu Xunyi to discuss the matter, which is a great thing for anyone to see, but Liu Xunyi is the only one who is up, up, and uneasy.

Regarding Cheng Qiu's death, Liu Xunyi did not know. Therefore, in the few days when he was recuperating from his injuries, there was not a day when he was not worried about his situation. But what made him strange was that on the morning of the third day of junior high school, Ling Xiaoxiao had said that Cheng Qiu was about to arrive, but why was he still missing until today?

Originally, Liu Xunyi was ready to die, but the "no news" that dragged on and off made his heart drum again.

Morning and twilight, day and night, both looking forward to the result, but also afraid of the result, and so on until today, for more than ten days, although the injuries on his body are getting lighter and lighter, but the anxiety in his heart is getting heavier and heavier.

Until today, Lin Fangda brought Luo Tianjin's order, and Liu Xunyi's anxious heart finally landed, whether it was life or death, it was better to keep the clouds open and see the moon, than to wait endlessly.

At noon, when Liu Xunyi came to the middle hall with a nervous mood, Luo Tianjin, Ling Xiaoxiao, Luo Hongxuan, Luo Ningyu, as well as Xie Xuan, Jiang Yiwei, Deng Changchuan, Murong Bai, Su Tang, Luo Qi, Lin Fangda, Ling Qing and others had gathered in the hall.

In addition to the people Liu Xunyi was familiar with, at this moment, beside Su Tang, there was also a sturdy man about forty years old.

A body-bound black dress is held up high by its angular muscles, with swordsman's eyebrows and tiger eyes, big ears, a cold expression, and no anger and self-authority. Needless to say, he unconsciously exuded a terrifying murderous aura from all over his body, and the most striking thing was that his face, neck, and hands, wherever they were not covered by his robes, were intricately covered with scars.

These shocking scars are like war exploits, showing that this person has experienced a hundred battles, and has been born and died for many years for the Xianwang Mansion.

He is the black fan of the Xianwang Mansion, Di Mo. He is also the one with the highest martial arts, the most ruthless means, the deepest mind, the most merits, and the most favored by Luo Tianjin.

There are rumors in the Xianwang Mansion that Di Mo is very likely to be among the Seven Heroes in the near future. At that time, the Xian Wangfu will no longer be seven heroes, but eight heroes.

Different from the upper three gates and the second gate of Zhongping, the lower three gates are directly related to the life and death of the Xianwang Mansion, the status of the rivers and lakes and the dignity of honor and disgrace. Therefore, the lower three gates are the places with the most disciples in the Xianwang Mansion and the most dangerous.

Di Mo has followed Luo Tianjin for more than ten years, and has been in charge of the next three doors for more than ten years, during which he has never disappointed Luo Tianjin, and is one of Luo Tianjin's henchmen. It shows that his ability is outstanding and his means are good.

Di Mo returned home three days ago, and Liu Xunyi had only met him once, but he didn't speak.

Today, almost all the big people in the Xianwang Mansion were present, and the scene was very solemn and grand.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xunyi's heart sank again, and he said secretly: "It seems that my death date has really arrived." ”

Everyone sat on the left and right, and they were all silent. At this moment, there is still a person standing in the hall, a red-faced man with a guilty face and gloomy eyes, this person is the master of the Shocking Gate who picked up a life from the Halberd Valley, Xu Heng.

"Xunyi, you're here. As soon as he saw Liu Xunyi, Lin Fangda hurriedly took the initiative to meet him.

"Visit the lord of the mansion, the lady, the son, the young lady! See the second master Xie, the third master Jiang, the fifth master Deng, and the seventh master of Murong! I have seen the white fan, the green fan, and the black fan!" Liu Xunyi saluted everyone in turn, his words were steady, his demeanor was generous, and he did not see the slightest abnormality on the surface.

"Let me introduce, this is the owner of the shocking door, Xu Heng. Luo Tianjin pointed at Xu Heng casually, and then introduced to Xu Heng, "He is Liu Xunyi." ”

"I've seen Master Xu!" Liu Xunyi bowed, and Xu Heng nodded slightly, in response, and didn't say much, but his eyes when he looked at Liu Xunyi were always quite complicated.

"Xu Heng is the one who was ordered to bring Cheng Qiu back. Jiang Yiwei suddenly spoke, "Liu Xunyi, what do you want to say now?"

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi was stunned in his heart, and his eyes looked around the hall quite vaguely, and all he saw were familiar faces, and there was no shadow of Cheng Qiu. Although he was suspicious in his heart, Liu Xunyi still behaved lightly, and replied softly: "Back to the third master of Jiang, Xunyi has nothing to say." ”

Jiang Yiwei nodded lightly meaningfully, and then turned his gaze to Luo Tianjin, and after seeing Luo Tianjin's firm eyes, he suddenly shouted at Xu Heng: "Xu Heng, are you guilty?"

"Xu Heng confessed!"

Xu Heng's frightened legs weakened, and he fell to the ground with a "poof", lowered his head slightly, and his panicked eyes were firmly fixed on the ground, only promised, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

Looking at Xu Heng, who was silent, Liu Xunyi frowned, and he faintly thought of something in his heart. But he didn't speak, but stood quietly to the side, watching what happened.

"Xunyi, do you know what crime Xu Heng has committed?" Luo Tianjin suddenly asked Xiang Liu Xunyi, he was shocked, and hurriedly replied: "I don't know." ”

"He lost the person I wanted. Luo Tianjin said lightly, "Cheng Qiu was killed on the way to Luoyang. ”

"Shhh

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xunyi suddenly gasped, and at the same time, a trace of happiness mixed with doubts secretly welled up in his heart.

He wondered why Cheng Qiu was killed? Who was killed? Fortunately, once Cheng Qiu died, no one would be able to reveal his identity in the future.

"This ......"

"Halberd Valley. Luo Tianjin said to himself, "I was killed by a group of bandits who blocked the road and robbed." After that, Luo Tianjin also let out a sneer with unknown meaning, I don't know whether he believes it or disdain.

"Xu Heng!" Jiang Yiwei said coldly, "Where were you when Cheng Qiu died?"

"At that time, I was blocked by the rain of arrows of the thieves, so it was difficult to save him......"

"At that time, Cheng Qiu's life was hanging by a thread, why didn't you fight to the death?" Xie Xuan asked, "In the end, Cheng Qiu died, but you came back alive, what does it mean, you and I know very well in our hearts." That night, it was clear that you were greedy for life and afraid of death, only caring about your own life, and caring about Cheng Qiu's life and death in vain, yes or no?"

"I ......"

"If you care about Cheng Qiu's life and death, you are vain caring for the life of the mansion master. Jiang Yiwei continued, "The lord of the mansion hates people who are greedy for life and afraid of death the most in his life, but you, as the master of the shocking door, know the law and break the law, not only did you mess up the errand, but also lost the face of my Xian Wangfu, you should be guilty of one more degree." After that, Jiang Yiwei turned his gaze to Di Mo, who was speechless, and asked gloomily, "Di Mo, he is your person, what do you say should be done?"

"According to the rules of the mansion, anyone who is unfavorable because of greed for life and fear of death should have their hands and feet cut off, expelled from the mansion, and never be used again!" Di Mo stared at Xu Heng with a complicated face, as if he had a touch of helplessness and bitterness that hatred of iron could not become steel, but his tone was extremely tough and did not hesitate.

"The third master spares his life! "Hold the fan and spare his life!" Xu Heng heard that he was going to be cut off his hands and feet alive, and his face was immediately frightened, his liver and gall were broken, and he hurriedly begged for mercy, "I know my mistake in the next, but I was forced by the situation at that time, and I ...... it as a last resort."

"Mansion Master!" Deng Changchuan pleaded with Luo Tianjin, "Although Xu Heng is at fault, this matter is indeed too unexpected. There were only four of them at the time, and it is said that there were dozens of bandits, and they were still ambushed by the mountains, Mo said that Xu Heng did not have the ability to protect everyone, I think even if I was in that situation, I am afraid that it would be difficult to get out of the whole body. Therefore, please also ask the lord of the mansion to spare him once for the sake of Xu Heng's service to the mansion for many years, without merit and hard work!"

"Di Mo, what do you think?" Luo Tianjin turned his gaze to Di Mo and asked lightly, "Xu Heng was brought up by you, do you have anything to say?"

Di Mo looked at Xu Heng, who was sweating like rain in fright, and couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh in his mouth, and then got up and knelt down to Luo Tianjin: "Please think that for the sake of Xu Heng's many years of service and loyalty, temporarily spare his life, save him from the punishment of cutting off his hands and feet, and let him atone for his sins in the future." ”

After all, following him for many years, Di Mo still has a lot of feelings for Xu Heng.

Xie Xuan hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Mansion Master, now it is an eventful autumn, and the mansion is also the time to employ people, although Xu Heng has no great talent, but after all, he has been cultivated by the mansion master for many years, and it would be a pity if he was expelled from the mansion today." In my opinion, Xu Heng's capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, so he will be removed from the position of the master of the shocking door for the time being, demoted to an ordinary disciple, and then rewarded and punished according to his performance in the future. I don't know what to think?"

Luo Tianjin nodded lightly, and said lightly to Xu Heng: "Since so many people intercede for you, then I will spare you once." However, those who are greedy for life and afraid of death can no longer be the master of the shocking door, degrade you and redo the shocking disciple, and then go to hone it well. ”

"Xie Mansion Master, Xie Second Master, Xie Third Master, Xie Zhi Fan!"

Xu Heng was relieved to buckle his head towards Luo Tianjin and the others, although he was quite disappointed in his heart about the loss of the owner of the shocking door, but after all, he didn't have to be cut off his hands and feet to be expelled from the mansion, which was a great luck in misfortune.

"Mansion Master, now that Cheng Qiu is dead, there is no proof of death, what about looking for clothes?" Lin Fangda couldn't wait to ask, "When Cheng Qiu died, Xun Yi was still recuperating in the mansion, and his life hung by a thread. So this account can't be counted on his head anymore, right?"

"Shut up!" Ling Xiaoxiao scolded unhappily, "Regarding how to deal with Liu Xunyi, the mansion master has not yet spoken, but you are in a hurry to help him clear up the relationship first, what kind of system will it become?"

"Hey...... Don't dare!Don't dare!" Lin Fang smiled.

Under Liu Xunyi's solemn gaze, Luo Tianjin smiled slightly and turned to look at Xie Xuan. In fact, they had already communicated everything in secret, so Xie Xuan, under Luo Tianjin's signal, took the initiative to open his mouth and said: "Mansion Master, since Cheng Qiu is dead, then no one can confront Liu Xunyi face to face, and we can't keep doubting like this, it will inevitably chill the hearts of these younger generations." As the so-called suspects don't use, use people without suspicion. Looking at Liu Xunyi's various performances after coming to the Xianwang Mansion, it can be said that he is dedicated, brave and resourceful, and he is quite thoughtful, and he can be regarded as a rare talent. Therefore, the old man proposed that Liu Xunyi could continue to stay in the mansion and entrust him with important tasks to make him sincerely serve the lord of the mansion. ”

"I brought this son into the house, so I am also willing to guarantee Liu Xunyi!" Deng Changchuan took the initiative to speak.

"I'm willing too!" Lin Fangda followed closely behind, and said in a hurry, "I am willing to use my head as a guarantee, and I have no bad intentions in looking for clothes, otherwise I am willing to cut off my own head!"

"Mansion master, the old man is also willing!" Luo Qi Zhengse said, "The matter of the Donghai Teahouse, Liu Xunyi handled it quite properly, and he is indeed a rare talent." ”

"Mansion Master, I am also willing to guarantee it. Su Tang said.

"Dad, the child is also willing to protect Brother Liu!" Luo Hongxuan suddenly spoke, Rao is Ling Xiaoxiao stared at him with displeasure, Luo Hongxuan still said righteously, "Dad is known as the King of Beixian, and he has made friends from all over the world, how can he suspect that Brother Liu is disloyal because of his bravery? Could it be that the only people who come to serve my Xianwang Mansion are mediocre? Doesn't this chill the hearts of people with lofty ideals in the world? But all masters with real skills dare not come to serve again, isn't it a loss for my Xianwang Mansion?"

"Childe's words are good!" Murong Bai nodded, "If a strong party wants to endure for a long time, it must attract heroes and heroes from all over the world to come and join it." ”

Seeing so many people come forward to protect himself, Liu Xunyi's heart was suddenly moved, but at the same time, he felt guilty. While touching their generosity and righteousness, he despised his own villain behavior even more. For a while, I had mixed feelings, and I was extremely sour.

Luo Tianjin laughed and said jokingly: "Although Liu Xunyi has only been chatting for a few months when he entered the mansion, he has already bought all the people in my mansion. Since there are so many people who vouch for you, I will keep you and blame you for your past origins. But I hope you don't fail me, and even less the trust they place in you today. ”

"Thank you for your love!" Liu Xunyi hurriedly thanked him, "Today's love, Liu Xunyi is grateful, and it is unforgettable!"

"That's good!" Luo Tianjin raised his voice suddenly, causing the noisy lobby to suddenly calm down, and everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Tianjin, but Luo Tianjin's eyes stared at Liu Xunyi tightly without blinking, until he saw Liu Xunyi's heart tense for a while.

"Liu Xunyi once earned face for my Xianwang Mansion in the Lufu in the south of the Yangtze River, and then did not avoid life and death, and went to the Western Regions to compete for the stormy rain map, and then the trip to Yingchuan, the Donghai Teahouse, and the Fengming Building to rescue Yu'er, etc., all did a good job, and the Xianwang Mansion has always rewarded and punished the disciples who did the wrong thing, and the meritorious disciples will also be rewarded. Luo Tianjin said slowly, "Now that everyone has recommended you for you, they all praise you for being brave and resourceful, and being thoughtful, so the lord of this mansion is determined to ......."

At this point, everyone raised their hearts to their throats, and their faces showed nervous curiosity, and no one knew what Luo Tianjin wanted to reward Liu Xunyi.

"Promote Liu Xunyi to be the new master of the Shocking Sect, replace Xu Heng, and take charge of the three hundred disciples of the Shocking Sect!"
