Imperial Wind Sect, the head of the inner house, living room.

Mu Qianxue, the head of the house, changed into a comfortable and generous skirt, and under the service of the four maids, she rearranged her makeup in the mirror, and her cold and fair face regained a slightly tranquil and peaceful demeanor.

On the one hand, as the head of a sect, she thinks that she can't do her own thing as before, and often shows people with a cold face, which does more harm than good for governing the sect, and when necessary, she must give her subordinates affirmation and encouragement in another attitude; on the other hand, it is also a more important reason that she is about to "marry another woman".

Fit usually doesn't like the appearance of cold superiors, Mu Qianxue is sure of this in her heart, thinking of this, the corners of her mouth pursed again, trying to show a lovely and gentle little woman.

But unfortunately, her efforts failed again, she could even faintly hear the sneers in the hearts of the four maids behind her, this kind of smile, for them, is too common, the appearance is not too bad, they are also in good shape, and they can even be mixed with a little charming demeanor, giving men more associations, making their heartbeat suddenly speed up a lot, and they suddenly give up what they are doing to talk to them, and sit and talk.

I'm not good at it, so I don't have to push myself.

Mu Qianxue gave up trying again, and instead thought about the anomaly of today's meeting, the Asa Mountain Sect passed on the surrounding sects, hoping to participate in the "Spirit Surge Feast", that is, the adventure of the Thousand Illusion Realm, originally, according to what she saw, this matter was extremely unusual, based on the understanding and strength of the Asa Mountain Sect, it was impossible for Jiang Feng to take the risk of being angered by the Wind Sect to take the lead in disturbing this matter, and this was not in line with the positioning of the two sects as essentially allies.

If Jiang Feng asked for it in her personal capacity, Mu Qianxue thought to herself, out of the consideration of the alliance, she would give the other party a few in private, after all, the opportunity in the "Spirit Surge Feast" was not inferior to a few people from his Qianshan Sect, this point, the powerful sect and the sea gate were in front, in comparison, adding a few people to enter the hall was nothing, and it would not have much impact on the interests of her own family and Ruijin Gate.

However, in the name of the sect, using the silver grace order, this effect is another matter, she hates this kind of behavior from the bottom of her heart, and even wants to make an example of this, and give the Asayama Sect some color, however, the meeting just now finally formed another argument.

With the "Lingyong Feast" as a guide, the surrounding sects were befriended, and then the negotiations on the trade routes to various places were restarted.

I have to say that this plan is also good, and it is constructive, but Mu Qianxue doesn't see it that way, there are Gu Chuanfu, Ling Feidu, Feng Jiming, and several Keqing elders, and several major families also support it, and those who are cautious are almost only Liu Cangran.

This is very abnormal, usually on most issues, there is rarely a one-sided situation, often need to be the head of his own decision, and Fit rarely expresses his position, and on this issue, he is surprisingly active, and hopes that Mu Qianxue, as the head, invites the heads of all sects to participate in the "Lingyong Feast".

What was the reason for him to suddenly care about the affairs of the sect? Although this was a good thing, and it was also something she looked forward to in her heart, this change came in a hurry, and she always felt that some undercurrents were quietly surging, as if there was a conspiracy hidden in it.

Mu Qianxue didn't dare to think deeply, nor did she want to think deeply, she didn't want to suspect her future husband, without her knowledge, what conspiracy was secretly planned, whether it was against the sect, or against herself, or something else, no matter what, this was a very serious and bad thing.

Am I overthinking it?

Mu Qianxue silently stared at the neat and translucent bronze mirror in front of her, until the image inside gradually became blurred, then she blinked a little worriedly, and returned to the facts in front of her.

"In the future, I will be closer to your sister Qianxue, maybe one day, she will need your support. ”

"Remember, never betray, everything is as if you were a teacher. Whatever she wants to do, you're going to have to support her with all your might, you know?"

That's right, with the character of senior brother Liu Canran, he will definitely not go against his master's explanation and do things that endanger himself. In this situation, I may need his help to investigate the ins and outs of this matter, and whether there is anything hidden in it, Mu Qianxue suddenly had an idea, she immediately turned around, and was about to explain, but suddenly remembered that these four maids were replaced only five days ago.

Originally, I just complained a few words casually, and Fit replaced them all, thinking that it was a very warm and happy thing, but now it seems that it is not right, once she falls into the cycle of doubt, Mu Qianxue suddenly feels that everything is strange.

"Those dossiers sent by Nanping City, you go and help me get them. ”

"Yes, sir!" one maid obeyed the order and quickly left the room, while the other three remained where they were.

"Bring with her the files of the rest of the cities, and I will check them out. ”

"Yes!" the other three maids got up together, and one of them seemed to have something

Satoru turned around and asked, "Master, don't you need to serve here?"

"It's just half a moment's work, you go and go back quickly. ”

"Yes, master!" Seeing that Mu Qianxue didn't mean to leave a few people, this maid with cultivation was in her body, so she followed the three people in front of her and left, and at the end, she gently closed the door, her eyes moved slightly, as if she thought of something, but after a little hesitation, she followed.

Sensing that several maids were far away, Mu Qianxue slowly closed her eyes, her heart moved at will, and a light tulle covered the plain plum blossom skirt on her body, her body moved, and when she opened her eyes again, she had already appeared in the back garden of the inner mansion of the head of the house, at this time, most of the grass and trees in the garden had withered and decayed, and it was difficult to hide her tracks.

She thought to herself that she must find a trustworthy person to investigate in person, so as to relieve the lingering doubts in her heart, otherwise, there will be thousands of reasons, thousands of interpretations, and it will be difficult to convince herself of the knot, as for the decision of the meeting, according to the scale of the surrounding sects, give five to fifteen people from each sect to participate in the "Spirit Surge Feast", and the rest of the high prices will be obtained, and it is not important at all to invite the heads of each sect to participate in the "Spirit Surge Feast".

The participation of the monks of the Powerful Sect and the Covering Sea Gate, what if there are a few more people, compared to the limit of the number of people entering the illusion itself, this is nothing at all, even if she agreed to everyone to go to the "Spirit Surge Feast" in person, and there is no danger in that secret realm, in her heart, what is more important is the hidden truth after facilitating everyone to make a decision that goes against common sense.

What is it?

............

Lizong, Zhenwu City, Xiao Family.

Xiao Daoyan, Xiao Buti, Xiao Buyu, Xiao Buyong, as well as the nominal head of the family Xiao Daoming, and the housekeeper Xiao Daolong, although they are not members of the Xiao family, but they really have a close relationship with each other, Zhang Youting of the Zhang family, Zhang Youxuan's brothers, Tan Xianghe, the head of the Tan family, and Sui Jianfeng, the head of the Sui family, gathered here to discuss an important matter.

"In this way, Li Fu's kid pretended to accept Ming Shan's gift and let Han Li enter the ancestral hall, and later, he accepted Ming Zhen's gift and put it in Jiang Feng, the head of the Asshan Sect?

"Li Fu told me about this," Xiao Daoyan was silent for a moment before explaining, "Han Li's purpose must be known to everyone, it is nothing more than to get the temporary right to use the alchemy fire, and we can also take the opportunity to ask the ancestor for credit, pay attention to us, etc., her status is high, even if she can occasionally get a response from her, she doesn't want to get too involved in the affairs of our juniors, if she can arouse her interest, she can give us special means to help our Xiao family cultivate more high-level cultivators." Originally, Dao Long and I were not in a hurry, but since the fall of Chu Anlan, the Chu family has been declining and slumping, and similar things have to be guarded against, once someone between you and me has an accident, the status of the Xiao family will also be threatened by those small families, presumably the head of the family is very happy to see this. ”

"What is the state of the ancestor?" Tan Xianghe asked, the Tan family has always been married to the Xiao family, and it can be regarded as their own family.

"I still can't be physically present, and I guess I'm still trapped in that nameless barrier. But even if the projection is here, it can still help us a lot, but she has always been stingy with her strength and does not want to bless us from generation to generation. Xiao Daoyan explained, "So, Xiao Mingzhen said that he would bring an outsider to go, and I didn't refuse, after all, Han Li is also a person with a foreign surname, and if he wants to attract the attention of the ancestor's projection, he also has to offer sacrifices, and for the ancestors, there is no essential difference between people and sacrifices." ”

"But Han Li is already our Xiao family's son-in-law. Xiao Buyu said dissatisfiedly, "Then how can Jiang Feng be virtuous, is it difficult, does he want to marry Ming Zhen? Not to mention that he has really practiced the secret technique of the family cultivator battle array, according to the rules of the sect, he cannot marry outside for the time being, on the other hand, I heard that Jiang Feng has married the daughter of Su Liqing, the head of the Jincheng faction, and our Xiao family daughter has no reason to give him this big fart head to be small." ”

"That's the truth. Zhang Youting on the side echoed, although on the surface he has a foreign surname, but the people who gather today can be regarded as the core figures of the Xiao family, and he naturally wants to stand on the position of putting the interests of the Xiao family first, and it is not in accordance with the rules to let an unrelated person with a foreign surname enter the family ancestral hall.

"Brother Jianfeng and I also know about this. Xiao Bu was tired of talking, "The incident happened suddenly, and it was impossible to convene everyone to discuss it suddenly, so a few of us made a decision. Jiang Feng, I have dealt with him, and his perception is acceptable, and it is also good for the interests of our Xiao family to connect with the head of a sect, although the Qianshan Sect is a little smaller, but I know that this Jiang Feng is also somewhat related to the Chu family and the Yu family. And......" he looked around, "although things are not in order, but the result is good, the ancestor has responded." ”

"Responded?" several people asked at the same time.

"Yes," Xiao Buti said, "The head of the family asked me to go to the ancestral hall to check afterwards, and I listened to the ancestor's words. ”

Everyone listened quietly, for fear of missing something.

"Ancestor explained, let us secretly protect that Jiang Feng

For a while, it doesn't need to be too long, a year is fine. ”

"That's it?" Xiao Buyu was the first to ask.

"Yes, there is only one sentence about Jiang Feng, I tried to ask the reason, but the ancestor didn't tell me, just explained a location, let us go and find a relic left by her before she ascended to the heavenly level, where there were three handwritten books, which recorded the nine kinds of Dan theory, as well as the refining methods of the three special magic weapons, and there was a secret treasure. ”

"The Ancestor really took care of us. Zhang Youting muttered to himself, a lot of joy appeared in his eyes, "This Dan Theory and Magic Weapon must make Brother Buyong go further, and the secret treasure is mostly a powerful means." ”

"Perhaps," Xiao Buyong is the highest cultivator in the field, a seventh-stage cultivator at the ground level, compared to the pseudo-heaven level, what he lacks is not only experience, but also an important part of the Dan theory, although the nine kinds of Dan theory are not enough for him, but the mystery that may be explored from this is probably not only the Dan theory itself.

"Could it be that it's not the Ancestor Projection that Han Li induced?" Xiao Buyu couldn't help but frown between his brows, "I thought that his eight-grade Golden Pill, coupled with his talent, was enough to attract the attention of the Ancestor." I can't think of ......."

"Regarding Han Li, Ancestor also has an explanation. Xiao Buti continued," she said, commenting on two sentences. ”

"Why don't you finish it all at once?" Xiao Buyu's face suddenly became unhappy, but he also knew that Xiao Buyu was this kind of character, and there was no way at all, compared to Xiao Buyong's difficulty in communicating and few words, his character was already good.

"Make the most of your stuff and don't get close to it. ”

What does this mean?

Several people were stunned. The Ancestor asked them to protect one person and use another person at the same time, which was not a big problem in itself, but what did "don't get close" mean, could it be that Han Li had some hidden secrets on his body, once he peeked in, there would be danger?

Although several people have different personalities and different cultivation experiences, they are all characters who have become elites, and almost the same ideas emerge in their hearts at the same time.

............

Almost at the same time, the Chu family.

Chu Wenyin had just talked with Bai Ruoxi for a long time, and the topics involved a wide range of topics, from the trivial matters of the various families in Zhenwu City to the rumors in the sect, all of which were involved, but Chu Wenyin still sensed a trace of unusual meaning from the conversation.

Bai Ruoxi seems to have changed a lot recently.

Originally, chatting between female cultivators, chatting about the world, long and short, is also a very common thing, Bai Ruoxi and Chu Wenyin have always had a close relationship, but this kind of chat is often a few friends gathered together, and it is common for six or seven people to be at most, but in recent days, Bai Ruoxi has visited alone, and several warblers and Yanyan who often come with him have disappeared, which is very abnormal.

If this kind of normality can be regarded as accidental, then there are also a lot of extraordinary contents implied in the topic, for example, when it comes to the topic of Jiang Feng, the head of the Asshan Sect, it seems that there are more, although she knows that there were some misunderstandings before, and even strictly speaking, it should be a misunderstanding that has not yet been clarified, which has caused Bai Ruoxi's perception of Jiang Feng to have changed a lot, which is normal, no matter who has such a strange thing happening, he can't remain calm. But Bai Ruoxi seems to have talked a little too much, right?

"I don't know yet, when did you meet Jiang Feng?" Chu Wenyin remembered a sentence he had inadvertently asked.

"Of course, I already knew the thief. Bai Ruoxi's answer was very affirmative, but she didn't say the specifics, according to Chu Wenyin's guess and the interpretation of Bai Ruoxi's facial expression, she knew that the other party was lying.

The question is, why did Bai Ruoxi lie? Chu Wenyin subconsciously felt that there must be something hidden in this, and she also asked Chu Yiming about it, and then learned that Jiang Feng was the first time she met Bai Ruoxi in the Chu Mansion, and she had never known each other before, so the question is, if Jiang Feng didn't lie, then what was the purpose of Bai Ruoxi's move?

This is difficult to understand, Chu Wenyin has a strange hidden worry in her heart, she actually doesn't care about the entanglement between Bai Ruoxi and Jiang Feng, she is just worried that this matter will involve the Chu family, which is not good. The question is, for the head of a small sect, what is Bai Ruoxi's plan?

Moreover, Bai Ruoxi is about to marry into the head of the family, at such a critical juncture, why does she want to cause trouble out of thin air? Thinking of the trouble that Bai Ruoxi encountered before, Chu Wenyin seemed to have caught a clue, but before she could grasp it, it dispersed again, and it was obvious that the amount of information was too little.

Sending away Bai Ruoxi, whose expression on her face changed from time to time, and it was cloudy and uncertain, Chu Wenyin turned around and went home, only took a few breaths, changed into a civilian clothes that she didn't often wear, and walked out again, quietly embellishing Bai Ruoxi's hornebeest, she wanted to know what was the reason why Bai Ruoxi was worried about the little head of the Qianshan Sect.

............

The southeast of the Asa Mountain Sect, the hometown of the Black Water Gate, the place occupied by the Jincheng Paishi, and the southern edge of the Poison Spring Swamp.

Wu Xuan turned around and paid half of the carriage and horse money, and explained that the helpless coachman turned back to Qing Yuzong, but he was worried.

Isn't this poisonous spring swamp a frosty road running through it since late autumn, and now it seems, why is there so much water this year? Is it possible, I want to ignore the rules and fail to fly in his sect's imperial sword?
