Chapter 228: Plotting

~17 min read 3,213 words

The forest wind was desolate, the pines moving like waves—

Qiao Rui lowered her head, walking slowly on the forest path, as if moving inch by inch.

Her heart was full of conflict, and there was a hint of melancholy on her face.

She looked up several times at that slender, clear back, her lips moving as if she had something to say, but in the end, she pressed her lips into a straight line and remained silent.

Just as she was dejected, the footsteps in front suddenly stopped, and then a voice sounded.

"..."

Qiao Rui was startled, raised her lowered eyebrows, held her breath for a long time, and then slowly shook her head, saying in a small voice:

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong, I do not wish to remain on Crane Cry Mountain. If possible, I would like to go into the Mystic Realm with you."

After she finished saying this, there was no response.

Qiao Rui was a little panicked, her face heating up, her ear tips slightly red, and she hurriedly defended herself:

She steadied her mind, extremely solemn, and spoke word by word:

Since she was deceived out of the White Merchant Academy by Zhou Huimao and several elder relatives, she had been hitting walls everywhere and had been wandering all the way until she met the person before her, only then barely finding a moment to catch her breath.

For such things that offend people, those servants naturally did not dare to do it, and could only apologize with a smile, hoping to muddle through.

"Qiao Rui insulting him is insulting you! How can this hatred not be avenged?"

Chen Hang's eyes sank, he said.

Looking at Wang Dian, who was frowning slightly and looking worried, Qiao Rui shook his head:

Qiao Jingyi laughed, slapped the table hard, stood up, and shouted:

Suddenly hearing a shout from outside the door, the words were extremely arrogant and rude, and vaguely mixed with his name. He frowned and walked out of the room to look.

"..."

This made Qiao Rui feel slightly surprised.

Although Mishi Qiao Ding was abruptly tripped up at the Dharma Saint Heaven due to a great turmoil that had not happened in 800,000 years, he was caught off guard.

And there was no need to say more...

"This generation's means are not brilliant; I am enough to deal with them alone."

"This language is inauspicious."

But even in such a situation, he still left precautions in the clan, not having lost all his power or being empty-handed.

But seeing Qiao Rui's words still had a few points of gentleness, and thinking of the master behind him.

She hesitated for a long time and asked curiously again.

"Talisman Edict?"

It could be said that his fame was immeasurable.

At this time.

"Don't rush, don't rush."

However, to prevent accidents, Shen Hunsu Yuan Zhi had Qiao Rui and Zhou Hui move to a building not far from the Qiong Palace to facilitate care.

The tree shadows in front were mottled, quiet and silent.

The two sides were noisy, their voices very loud, causing several great clan stewards passing by to be unable to help but cast their gazes over, vaguely putting on a show of watching a play.

At this time, only two people were sitting in the vast hall.

"Go, go back and tell your master that I will go to the appointment tonight."

The Abyss Void Subduing Demon Sword Talisman, although its killing power was peerless, once issued, it was difficult to have anything to resist it!

Those few who had followed him through life and death since he was young, whom he regarded as his confidants, and even one who shared the same father's blood as him, all betrayed him suddenly for inexplicable reasons.

Perhaps because the Flowing Fire Macro-Transformation Fan Dongtian was about to fall back to Crane Cry Mountain.

"I am the Qiao Rui you want to see. Does your Excellency have words to share with me?"

Qiao Rui's mind could not help but recall the various events of his past life, but the painful past had all dissipated like wind and smoke, and now it could no longer leave any ripples in his heart.

Chen Hang was puzzled:

Qiao Rui moved his gaze away, cast it into the empty space, not looking at her embarrassed state, thought for a while, and said indifferently:

"Yes, yes..."

And as a person with real power in the Mishan Qiao clan, with the ten-thousand-generation accumulation of the noble family, he must not be lacking in life-saving treasures.

"My master is from the Qingyang Academy, but my master's elder brother is a Cave-Mystic disciple of your academy."

Just don't know.

Qiao Rui was sitting in the quiet room, silently comprehending the cultivation technique.

After a long while.

Qiao Rui was silent for a moment, clenched his fingers, and suddenly said:

The blue-clothed Daoist lowered his head and dared not answer.

The mountain mist was damp and cold, the bamboo sound rustling, like a sudden rain about to splash on his face, the world was all misty, disturbing his heart and mind.

Several great clan stewards passing by were startled by the miserable appearance of the blue-clothed cultivator. With their insight, they could not see when Qiao Rui had made a move. Looking at each other, they all saw the horror in each other's eyes.

However, those present were all practitioners, so this small matter was not enough to be taken too seriously.

But even after suffering such punishment, with the running around and effort of Instructor Liu Lingzheng, Liu Lingzheng's cultivation, obtained from Zhou Huimao, was not taken back by the sect.

"After gathering together, we must make Qiao Rui look like a fool in front of everyone! The Jiang clan and my Liu clan have always been the best of friends, and you and I are of the same temperament, my best friend."

"Have you ever been deceived by others, Xiao Xiao Shixiong?"

He softened his tone slightly, smiled rarely as if to comfort, and said:

He even disregarded Liu Lingzheng's noble family background and taught him all his skills almost without reservation.

However, such clumsy provocation, straight and direct, made people guess the intention at a glance.

After smiling apologetically at Zhou Hui, he hurriedly bowed and said goodbye, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong, do you think I am very stupid? Being deceived out of the mountain gate so easily, even the sleeve bag was deceived away, but I really didn't think they would deceive me..."

"I am willing to be implicated by Xiao Xiao Shixiong. If there is any danger in the future, I am willing to suffer with Xiao Xiao Shixiong!"

It was just that later, Liu Lingzheng did not know what mistake he had committed, which made his grandmaster furious, and this mistake was not small. Even his teacher begged bitterly, but could not protect Liu Lingzheng, and could only helplessly watch him be expelled from the mountain gate and become an abandoned disciple of Qiao Wendun.

Seeing him come forward.

She took two steps back, raised her hand to rub her eyes hard, clearly not wanting to, but her eyelashes trembled, so she hurriedly turned around.

"..."

And before approaching the building.

This Daoist was dressed in a blue shirt, wearing a Shanyang crown, his face white and body wide, with two small beards on his lips, his eyes shining like candles, full of spirit, clearly someone with cultivation.

"I do not know who your master is, and what words do you have to convey?"

There was a feeling of watching a fire from the other side.

"No matter."

His gaze swept and fell on the blue-clothed cultivator's face, saying indifferently.

This matter, once it came out, caused quite a stir at the time, a great uproar.

"It seems your master is not from our Changying Academy?"

But when he caught the slightly smiling look in Qiao Rui's eyes, the strength he had just raised suddenly dissipated.

Wang Dian suddenly took a few steps forward, walked to stand side-by-side with Zhou Hui, and looked up at his eyes.

After listening to the complaints of those few servants, Qiao Rui could not help but sneer. This must be the handiwork of the noble family, wanting to give him an embarrassment.

Qiao Rui smiled slightly.

"My master is from the Chishuo Liu clan, and is Liu Langjun, Qiao Jingyi. My master sent the servant here just to distribute the talisman edicts for entering the Fan Dongtian to the outstanding talents of the Changying Academy in advance, so as not to miss the time. There is no other intention..."

And in the dizziness, after a long trance.

And he was truly relieved...

"I serve my master—"

The blue-clothed cultivator's bones in several places bent fiercely, he fell backward, blood sprayed wildly from his mouth, and his aura instantly plummeted!

Her voice sounded unclearly:

Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Rui's eyes flashed.

Qiao Rui acted as if nothing had happened, still saying indifferently.

And because the day after tomorrow was the time when the Flowing Fire Macro-Transformation Fan Dongtian would completely fall back to the Xudu Heaven.

However, things had reached this point.

"Since I have promised to help you, I have no reason to break my word. It is just that in the Fan Dongtian, I have many enemies, and they will inevitably use some ghost-like means, and there will be no lack of bloody bitter battles. By that time..."

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong."

Liu Lingzheng at that time.

Chen Hang looked down at her, seeing her fingers turning white from force, like some kind of fierce little beast.

"I am also a human, a mortal, what is so strange about that?"

The so-called response was just soldiers coming to block and water coming to cover, and his heart was calm...

Zhou Huimao saw his miserable appearance, was not angry, rewarded him with several bottles of healing pills, and comforted him with warm words, then sent the blue-clothed Daoist out of the hall to let him recuperate well.

The blue-clothed cultivator slowly recovered.

"What happened?"

And at the door in the distance, a blue-clothed cultivator with an unfamiliar face was holding a wooden box, arguing with several servants guarding the building.

Five days of time passed in a snap of the fingers.

"Qiao Wendun will definitely come. If I stay here, even with the protection of Instructor Shen, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape disaster. Instead of that, it is better to enter the Fan Dongtian and try my luck."

How could this errand fall on that Qiao Jingyi?

Making many abandoned sect disciples jealous upon hearing the news, all sighing endlessly...

"I know a scandal of that Zhou Hui. Once this matter is spoken, let's see how he still has the face to maintain that bright and clear posture? Before killing him in the Fan Dongtian, first frustrate his spirit; that is a good means, and it is the truly comfortable thing!"

"Just learn a lesson from a mistake. In the future, when acting, think more before making a decision."

When he first saw Qiao Rui, he was still a bit afraid and stepped back unconsciously.

The voice of the person in front of him was gentle, his eyes calm.

She seemed to have thought about the words in her mind for a long time, and only then did she finally summon the courage to say seriously:

Zhou Hui collected the letter and said.

Under the guidance of the underworld, in these five days, the strange qi boiled and surged, the spirit machine became chaotic, and several earth-dragon turning-over incidents occurred.

"Deceived, and deceived extremely miserably."

The blue-clothed Daoist's back suddenly straightened, and he unconsciously brought out his usual spirit.

However, the blue-clothed cultivator became even more arrogant.

That Liu Lingzheng was said to be an abandoned disciple of Qiao Wendun in the six sects of the demonic path. Because his temperament and actions were extremely compatible with his teacher, he was deeply loved by his teacher.

"Call him out to talk, why are you still dawdling, not refreshing at all!"

But unexpectedly, that Liu Lingzheng did not know if he was afraid of the Yuchen Sect or was held back by other things.

But for the sake of safety.

As for the events afterward.

That pair of apricot eyes were shockingly bright. When they met, it was like a beam of sunlight unexpectedly shining into the bottom of his eyes.

After the blue-clothed Daoist hurriedly returned to Wuyin Peak and reported the matter one by one.

He pointed to the building hidden in the green bamboo and shade in front, not saying much, just smiling:

The current Liu Lingzheng's cultivation was already incomparably profound, and his Dao methods were naturally refined and miraculous.

Zhou Hui took the wooden box respectfully handed over by the blue-clothed Daoist, opened the lid, and saw that it was indeed a letter inside.

After telling the story of Qiao Wendun one by one.

Zhou Hui said.

"Younger brother, it's done. By tonight, brother will definitely vent this bad breath for you!"

Only hearing several explosions!

"Scandal? What scandal?"

He said indifferently, flicked his sleeves, and returned to the room.

He laughed and said proudly:

The blue-clothed Daoist's mind turned a hundred times, just about to grit his teeth and get up.

Wang Dian was surprised and ignorant, blinked, looked at Qiao Rui, but didn't ask much.

Actually never appeared once, and Crane Cry Mountain was peaceful.

Qiao Rui had always been vigilant, paying attention to the wind and grass outside.

He slowly shook his head, paused, and then said:

In any case, it's good...

Qiao Jingyi turned his head slightly and spoke to Chen Hang beside him, his expression sinister.

"By tonight, you will know. It will definitely make you see a big show!"

Now that he was in Crane Cry Mountain, under the watchful eyes of everyone, even if the noble family had ghost-like means, it was not easy to use them.

Qiao Rui smiled and walked toward the courtyard in front.

The one who caused today's fruit was not just the Shenyu Sect, but also several family elders of Mishi Qiao Ding's lineage.

That blue-clothed cultivator did not know where he was a madman. As soon as he arrived, he swaggered and ordered the servants to call Zhou Hui out, saying he had important matters to instruct Qiao Rui, his posture very light, his words not very respectful, clearly looking for trouble.

As if it had nothing to do with him, he could look at it coldly...

Wang Dian, who had been standing on the side, spoke in a low voice: "I will accompany you tonight?"

That day.

"How can Brother Tou do this? Getting the sect... I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the instructors, and they might even punish you."

The blue-clothed Daoist also knew the power of this person. In order to suffer less, he just said honestly:

The blue-clothed Daoist heard this as if granted amnesty, hurriedly crawled away, enduring the severe pain, and hurriedly drove the clouds away, not wanting to stay here for a moment longer.

Under this gaze, the panic and anxiety in Wang Dian's heart seemed to melt away like ice and snow, and suddenly dissipated by more than half.

Thinking that the person in charge was not the instructors from the noble family, but the juniors below acting on their own.

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong, it's not that I don't trust Instructor Shen, it's just because Qiao Wendun, he..."

"What will happen after gathering together?"

He looked at Qiao Rui in horror, endured the severe pain, and hurriedly lowered his head. The arrogance on his face was gone, his lips trembling.

And in another place.

This discovery made Wang Dian's dim apricot eyes flash brightly, rising with surprise, shining brightly, flowing with color.

I am afraid Mishi Qiao Ding did not expect it either.

Qiao Rui lowered his eyelids, looked at her indifferently for a moment, withdrew his gaze, and shook his head.

After several great clans deliberately took out several array diagrams and suppressed them in the five extreme directions of east, west, south, and north, the strange phenomena of mountain rocks cracking and springs breaking flow were much less.

Being able to save a piece of unknown trouble.

Qiao Rui knew that the talisman edict was the proof for entering and leaving the Flowing Fire Macro-Transformation Fan Dongtian in the future, which was indispensable. Shen Hunsu Yuan Zhi also said that this object would be distributed by several Cave-Mystic disciples of the Changying Academy in the near future.

In this noisy voice, Qiao Rui also learned.

"Who dares to joke with the talisman edict? Do you want your life? I just want to use the talisman edict as a name to gather Zhou Hui and all the fellow disciples in the hall!"

Afterward, the two had no words all the way, and the atmosphere was slightly silent.

According to reason, the disciples of the seven academies should all live on Wuyin Peak, and this Luoyan Peak was the place where the instructors of the seven academies stayed.

Those servants also instantly felt a spirit, hurriedly gathered around, and complained to Qiao Rui in a jumble.

"Gather together?"

"Controlling life and death in the hands of others is indeed not a wise move, but people are not sages, who can be without mistakes."

Actually allowed him to bring the Dao fruit back to the Mishan Qiao clan intact, finally fulfilling the friendship between master and apprentice.

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong."

Wang Dian rubbed her eyes, hurriedly nodded her head hard, and nodded again. The dignified and calm appearance she had in front of outsiders was gone, only showing a bit of the young girl's cuteness.

He smiled apologetically and said tremblingly:

"Let's go first."

And at this time, Qiao Rui did not throw her away as a burden.

Until finally deliberately standing outside the building, making a loud noise, attracting the passing stewards and servants to pay attention, making this place as noisy as the market.

His words were polite, just inviting him to Wuyin Peak for a banquet tonight, and also mentioning the talisman edict.

Among the twelve noble families, he was also a top-tier figure!

Although there was still a feeling of vibration under his feet, it was much better than before.

Chen Hang became serious upon hearing this.

But in his heart.

"Xiao Xiao Shixiong just said he didn't want to implicate me. I know that was just a joke, but Xiao Xiao Shixiong has great kindness to me, and Wang Dian is not someone who doesn't know how to repay."

"In this way, it seems there will be a good show."

"I am afraid it is I who will implicate Junior Sister Qiao, and tire you to suffer with me..."

Under the instruction of the Shenyu Sect and several family elders, Wang Dian did not doubt him and naturally left the White Merchant Academy.

As time passed.

Qiao Jingyi looked at him, smiled meaningfully, and sold a suspense: ===== CHAPTER 229 =====
