26, Chapter 26(1/5)
What happened last night caught everyone off guard because of the sudden incident.
In the second half of the night, no one dared to disturb the Sword Master's rest, so they had no choice but to give up.
But on the second day, the matter had to be clarified.
Because we are the host.
The disciples of the Xuyan Sect first asked Chu Jinxiao who woke up, and then Jingxu dared to ask Ning Ji.
After a night of chaos, few people could really sleep after returning home.
Early in the morning, everyone arrived in the lobby.
The ruins were still there when I passed by.
Several elders looked at each other with serious expressions.
Jingxu glanced at them, her eyes flashed, and she waited patiently.
Until Ning Ji came.
As soon as he arrived, the lobby fell silent.
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, but saw that Jian Zun came with the owner of Gu Yue Tower.
Xie Yuqing's words last night were already surprising.
At this moment, the two of them came together...
Everyone here is a human spirit, so I couldn't help but smell something from it and thought more about it.
Could it be that Guyuelou, who doesn't care about worldly affairs, is going to cooperate with Yuqingzong?
They look different.
After Ning Ji came in, he sat calmly in his seat.
After adjusting his breath last night, nothing could be seen on his face for the time being.
Wearing only a mask, he is still dressed in white as snow.
Jingxu originally wanted to see his face. After realizing that it was blocked by the mask, she frowned slightly.
However, when Ning Ji raised his head, he had a guilty look on his face and said, "I didn't treat you well enough. I hope that Lord Sword will forgive me. I ordered people to repair the villa as soon as possible last night."
"In less than two days, the garden will be restored."
"In these days, I can only wrong the Lord Sword first."
He spoke first.
Ning Ji raised his head and glanced at him.
In his conversation with Xie Yuqing yesterday, he already suspected Jingxu, but he didn't show it at the moment. He just said lightly: "It doesn't matter."
Under Jingxu's gaze, Ning Ji said again: "This matter is the fault of the demon of desire, and Zhenjun Jingxu has never thought about it."
I didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to.
Although Jingxu was surprised for a moment, he thought of the rumors from the outside world.
Although this sword master was as human as ice and snow, he was not someone who made things difficult for others, so he felt a little relieved.
However, what worries him is the matter of the demon of desire.
It was clear that we had agreed not to go ashore these days.
This demon actually broke the contract privately.
Moreover, he leaned directly over Ning Ji's apprentice to provoke him.
The dark light in his eyes flashed away.
I cursed in my heart that the demon clan really couldn't get on the stage.
But he was worried that the desire demon said something he shouldn't have said last night. He looked at Ning Ji, lowered his eyes and then carefully tested.
"Speaking of which, does the Sword Master know why the desire demon last night...?"
Nothing could be discerned from Chu Jinxiao's inquiry.
Jingxu had no choice but to focus on Ning Ji, who had driven away the demon of desire last night.
He was worried and defensive in his heart, but he pretended to be concerned.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Ning Ji raised his eyes and glanced at him.
There was no emotion in that look.
But it makes people feel stunned.
Just when Jingxu's heart skipped a beat.
Ning Ji said calmly: "Maybe the devil doesn't need a reason to kill someone."
"It just happened that Chu Jinxiao was alone and happened to be here with me."
"What do you think, Lord Jingxu?"
He asked in return, breaking the atmosphere and causing Jingxu to breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that nothing was said.
His expression softened imperceptibly.
He smiled and said: "What Sword Master said is that these demons have always been murderous and cruel. After Master Nephew Chu was alone, he was lucky to meet Sword Master and everything was safe."
Ning Ji's eyes paused and he didn't say anything.
He just said in a low voice: "This desire demon is so bold and provocative, no wonder Zhenjun Jingxu insists on killing him."
"If he hadn't run so fast last night."
"I also want to tear him apart."
He spoke to Jingxu in the most indifferent tone. Although there was no murderous intention in it, it made his face freeze.
I shuddered involuntarily.
Fortunately, with just one sentence, Ning Ji said no more.
Everyone knew that the demon of desire provoked Sword Lord Ning Ji last night, so there was no surprise at his words.
How could a person like the True Lord allow a lowly demon to provoke him?
If it weren't for that demon clan fleeing into Guixu.
I'm afraid he will die directly in the hands of the Sword Master.
Everyone agreed to accuse the demons of desire and had the same hatred towards the demons.
Only Xie and Qing noticed the secret exchange.
He shook his head and took a sip from the tea cup.
After explaining everything yesterday clearly.
The main hall has already begun to talk about the incident of lustful demons and the increasing arrogance of the demons.
Ning Ji lowered his eyes and looked a little bored.
He looked away and was about to serve tea, but he accidentally came into contact with someone else.
There was a hint of coldness on the warm tea cup.
Xie and Qing raised their heads and saw that their fingertips separated at the touch of each other.
Ning Ji frowned slightly.
Nothing was said.
Xie Yuqing knew that this person didn't like contact with outsiders, so he said calmly: "I'm sorry."
"It was just an unintentional move."
Ning Ji shook his head, pursed his lips tightly, and said no more.
Because of what happened just now, Xie Yuqing noticed his expression.
The cold ghost mask was still on his face.
Ning Ji frowned as he lowered his eyes and picked up the tea.
The pale lips were slightly reddish by the steaming heat, making them look less cold.
There was a shadow over his long eyelashes, and he held the cup with his fingers.
Xie Yuqing glanced at him and looked away.
"Owner."
Wu Gang saw his strange expression and couldn't help but be a little confused.
Xie Yuqing held the tea cup but said nothing more.
To be continued...
