"I really don't know what you're talking about. Although Shen Shuiji guessed his thoughts, Murong Yingxue was still unwilling to let the other party see his thoughts.

"Hehe," Shen Shuiji saw that Murong Yingxue still looked like he didn't admit it, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Master Murong, don't sell it to me." Let me tell you the truth, I went to Lingyun Mountain this time to find you. ”

"Looking for me?" Murong Yingxue was confused.

"Yes. ”

"What are you looking for me to do?"

"I'm looking for you to do something big. Shen Shuiji suddenly said firmly.

"Then Mrs. Chu, you are about to be disappointed, I, Murong Yingxue, have never had any ambitions, nor have I thought that I could do anything earth-shattering by myself. I just want to stay with a few of my apprentices, study martial arts, and then have no quarrel with the world. Murong Yingxue was still not worried about this Shen Shuiji in front of her.

"It's such a good one who has no quarrel with the world, if it is really as Master Murong said, then why did Master go to great lengths to marry Murong Wan'er to the Zhong family?" Shen Shuiji looked at Murong Yingxue, and his eyes were all sharp and sharp.

"I have never forced Wan'er, the two of them are in love. Murong Yingxue's face did not change, and her heart did not beat.

"I'm afraid only you, Master Murong, know the story best. ”

"If there's nothing to do, go back first. In order to avoid extraneous complications, Murong Yingxue then issued an eviction order.

"Don't, Master, are you going to drive me away? I haven't finished what I'm going to say, besides, Master, if you miss me as a good partner, you will definitely regret it. Seeing that Murong Yingxue was about to drive herself away, Shen Shuiji hurriedly said.

"Well, then I'll listen to what you have to say. Murong Yingxue sat down and waited for Shen Shuiji to speak.

"Master Murong, let's not talk darkly, I really came to cooperate with you sincerely this time. ”

"Why cooperate, what to cooperate?" Murong Yingxue didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Shen Shuiji's gourd, so she simply pretended to be confused.

Shen Shuiji looked at Murong Yingxue's cold appearance, and said unhurriedly: "Master Murong, now that the entire Lingyun Mountain is dominated by the Zhong family, many people are dissatisfied. ”

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Most people dare not speak out, just because the strength of these people is too small and too scattered to confront the Zhong family, but if there is one person who is willing to come forward and unite these people, in this way, the Zhong family is in danger. ”

"You mean you want me to be the leader of this one?" Murong Yingxue didn't have a good heart when she knew this Shen Shuiji, and used herself as a robbery.

Listening to Murong Yingxue's words, Shen Shuiji laughed all of a sudden, his voice was very exaggerated, as if he was going to be penetrated by her laughter.

"Master Murong, you really underestimate me, don't you? I said a long time ago that I came this time to discuss cooperation with you sincerely, if I make such a request to you, is it still called sincere?"

Murong Yingxue looked at Shen Shuiji and did not speak.

"Master Murong, everyone on Lingyun Mountain knows that you and the Zhong family are in-laws, how can I let you bear such an infamy, so let me be the one who is the leader. ”

"You?" Murong Yingxue didn't expect Shen Shuiji to say this.

"Yes, but I'm just on the surface, and I need your help. Shen Shuiji looked at Murong Yingxue, who looked puzzled, and said in a low voice.

"Why should I help you?" Although Shen Shuiji had already shown enough sincerity, Murong Yingxue was still not at ease.

"You also know, I'm looking for workers now, because there are too many people, so today, Zhong Shen, the second son of the Zhong family, came to my house, no need to ask, it must be Zhong Dushan's instructions, he suspects me of hiding selfishness, but moving to a new house must be recruited, so even if they are suspicious, they are suffering from no evidence, so they can't do anything to me. However, this Zhong Dushan guessed correctly. ”

Seeing Shen Shuiji's somewhat smug look, Murong Yingxue asked, "So, do you really want to make some big moves?"

"Of course, otherwise, wouldn't I give our master's money to those people for nothing?"

"Then you can ask for more blessings. Murong Yingxue said.

"Blessings cannot be sought, but must be earned by oneself. You keep asking me why you want to help me, okay, I'll tell you the truth, because I know that we can only get what we need if we work together. ”

"To each his own, but do you know what my needs are?" Murong Yingxue looked at Shen Shuiji's confident appearance, as if she knew herself very well, so she asked.

"Master Murong, why do you want to sell off with me, I know that you married Wan'er to the Zhong family just for your needs in the Zhong family, but, as far as I know, this Murong Wan'er doesn't seem to listen to your command. Shen Shuiji said this, looking at Murong Yingxue with a slight mockery.

Who is this Shen Shuiji? Why do she know her own affairs?

Seeing that Murong Yingxue didn't speak, Shen Shuiji continued, "Master Murong, do you think I don't know what you want from the Zhong family?"

"What do you get?"

"The people on this mountain all want to get one thing from the Zhong family, and I believe you are no exception, that is, the lotus. Shen Shuiji said with confidence.

"Cooperation is about a win-win situation, yes, I want to get a lotus flower from the Zhong family, so what are your requirements, is it also a lotus?" Seeing Shen Shuiji so frank, Murong Yingxue also said bluntly.

"No, after the matter is completed, the lotus is yours, I only need one of the petals, after all, I have to fool my master, at that time, I tricked him into coming to Lingyun Mountain to get the lotus, he went up the mountain with me, and gave me so much money to let me complete my plan, you can rest assured, he is a mortal, as long as one petal, he can become holy and immortal, so when the time comes, you can only give me one petal." ”

I didn't expect Shen Shuiji to be so straightforward, but Murong Yingxue was also very puzzled, and worked hard to clean up the Zhong family, doesn't this Shen Shuiji want a lotus?

"But that petal is for your lord, what do you want? Don't tell me you're really doing this for your lord. Murong Yingxue asked puzzled.

"Of course not. Shen Shuiji pretended to be mysterious and said.

"And what exactly do you want?"

"What I want is a human life. ”

"Whose life?" Murong Yingxue couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard Shen Shuiji's words.

"Zhong Jin. Shen Shuiji said word by word, as if she was saying the two words she was most reluctant to say in her life.

Seeing Murong Yingxue's surprised expression, Shen Shuiji continued: "To tell you the truth, Zhong Jin and I have a deep blood feud. ”

"But, as far as I know, you only moved here not long ago, do you and this Zhong Jin know each other in the first place?"

"It's more than awareness. Shen Shuiji said coldly.

"What the hell is going on? Don't you always blame me for not believing you? Well, if you can tell me everything, I'll see if it's true. ”

"Good. Shen Shuiji seemed to fall into a painful memory, and then said: "Once upon a time, I also lived here. ”

"You are also from Lingyun Mountain, but why have I never met you?" asked Murong Yingxue puzzled.

"I was just a nobody, where did you see me. I used to be a little maid of the Zhong family, and I had some personal grievances with Zhong Jin. ”

"Oh, I see, but there is one thing I don't understand, what kind of personal grudge can make you want his life?" Murong Yingxue still didn't believe it.

"It's inconvenient for me to say the reason, always, I just want to take his life, and after success, the lotus will be given to you. Shen Shuiji was still reluctant to say his reasons, but he still swore a promise.

"This is too sudden for me, I need to think about it, and if you are really sincere enough, go back and wait for my letter. Murong Yingxue saw that Shen Shuiji still couldn't be honest with herself, so she said.

"Okay, I'll go back, but Master Murong, I can assure you that I really want to cooperate with you, and besides, I also have the strength. After saying this, Shen Shuiji left.

At this time, Shizu, who had been hiding behind the screen, walked out.

"Miss, what do you think about this matter?" asked Shizu.

"I don't know, although this Shen Shuiji is indeed a good partner to work with, but I still don't believe her words. ”

"Yes, what kind of blood feud does she and Zhong Jin have? one is a lowly little maid, and the other is a high-ranking young master, how can two people have a grudge?" Shi Zu was also very worried.

"yes, that's what I don't understand the most. ”

"Is that Zhong Jin in some kind of debt?"

"Impossible," Murong Yingxue immediately denied the idea of the ancestor and said: "This Zhong Jin is not a master who messes with flowers and grass, besides, he has always been arrogant, how could he fall in love with a maid?"

"In this way, it is really confusing. ”

"Alas, forget it, let's take one step at a time, this Shen Shuiji actually knows so many things about me, it seems that she is really not a simple character. Murong Yingxue was also very uncertain in her heart.

"Yes, Miss, we can't be in a hurry about this matter, first, we have never known about this Shen Shuiji, if we want to cooperate, we must first observe her. Second, could this person be a spy sent by the Zhong family?"

"I don't know about that, anyway, I will neither fully trust her nor give up on her completely. ”

"Yes, that's all we can do. ”

Suddenly, Shi Zu seemed to think of something, and then said, "Miss, don't you think it's strange?"

"What?" Murong Yingxue asked.

"The name of this person. ”

"What's wrong with the name?Shen Shuiji?"

"The surname Shen is nothing special, but her name, Shui Ji, who will call Shui Ji?"

"Maybe her parents are weirdos. Murong Yingxue said disapprerovingly.

"I don't think it's that simple. After the ancestor finished speaking, his eyes looked into the distance.

The sky was darkening, and dark clouds were moving in the distance.

Murong Yingxue also followed the gaze of the ancestor, and then said to herself:

"The storm is coming. ”
