The patrolling disciples of Xuanyan Sect patrolled along the established route as usual.
When passing by the guest house, one of the figures shook and paused.
"What's the matter?" asked his companion.
His eyes moved and he replied: "It's okay, I feel a little cold."
The two continued to move forward.
His companion echoed: "It's a bit cold. It's always gloomy at night. It shouldn't be. Could it be that the mountain protection formation should be repaired?"
In addition to the protective effect, the mountain-protecting formation can generally regulate the energy of the four seasons. In particular, the Xuanyan Sect's suppressing technique is the Raging Flame Magic, which has never been cold before.
The man echoed in his mouth, his eyes searching for suspicious traces bit by bit.
When a steward passed by, they stopped to check their badges.
The steward suddenly stiffened, but by the time the inspection was completed, he had returned to normal.
Both parties turned around, the patrolling disciple continued patrolling, and the steward continued to the backyard.
The steward walked for a long time and finally arrived at a courtyard. He knocked lightly on the door, and the maid came out to open the door.
"Manager Peng." The maid greeted in a low voice, "Please."
The steward responded, passed the maid and entered.
As they passed by, both of them stood frozen for a moment, and then returned to normal.
Guanshi Peng entered, and the maid exited and closed the door. When she closed it, she pinched her fingers secretly, and there were slight cracks in the soundproof formation.
The voice inside came out softly.
"Eldest Young Master, the master has asked you to entertain Master Ling and Fairy Bai tomorrow."
His response was a cold snort: "Isn't it better for him to entertain such a distinguished guest himself?"
Manager Peng replied: "Fairy Bai wants to pay homage to the third lady. You are the master, so naturally it would be best for you to go."
"Oh!" The voice sounded strange, "It turns out that our Lu family can be of use."
Manager Peng said nothing.
This person was full of complaints and continued: "No matter how bad Aoshuang is, he is still a member of my Lu family, and his life was lost in vain, and he still wants us to cover it up. Isn't he feeling guilty for saying this?
?”
Manager Peng said tactfully: "The leader just doesn't want outsiders to interfere. The Wuji Sect is the sect. This matter is an internal matter of our sect after all. It is not good for others to know."
"If it's not good, don't use Aoshuang as a shield!" This person was very angry, "For several generations of our Lu family, Aoshuang was the most likely to become a god. Now that he is gone, isn't he really taking the opportunity to suppress him?
?!"
"Well..." Manager Peng advised, "My eldest son, even if you have such an idea, don't say it outright. The third lady is gone, and the leader is more powerful after all. Besides, he has lost a fortune...
"
"No amount of money can make up for our losses!" The man said with a groan. After a while, he finally calmed down and said, "Okay, I understand the matter. I will go there tomorrow."
Manager Peng breathed a sigh of relief, said a few nice words to him, and then left.
This person took out a Qiankun bag, stuffed it into Manager Peng's hand, and said angrily: "You have worked so hard over the years to speak well in front of the boss."
Manager Peng was in a good mood and replied: "My subordinates are here today only because of the cultivation of the Lu family. That's what they deserve."
When he went out, before he realized that the door was not closed tightly, his eyes focused for a moment before continuing.
"Steward, please go slowly." The maid bowed her head and said goodbye.
The steward left the courtyard and walked among the pavilions.
When passing by the guest house, he paused again, then shook his head and quickly walked away.
In the living room, Bai Mengjin opened his eyes.
Ling Bufei, who was sleeping on the couch, immediately looked over and asked, "How are you doing?"
"There is something wrong with Miss Lu's death." Bai Mengjin said softly, repeating the conversation he just heard.
Ling Bufei's face darkened: "This means that Miss Lu was sacrificed. I think they used Miss Lu to kill Leng Qiufeng, but the result was not satisfactory, so they simply framed Miss Lu's death on Leng Qiufeng."
Bai Mengjin nodded: "If Master Cui is unfavorable to Leng Qiufeng, Miss Lu will definitely help Leng Qiufeng. Perhaps this is how she lost her life."
She felt very sad. She thought she had saved Lu Aoshuang, but she still couldn't avoid this ending. Now she just hoped that Leng Qiufeng could still control herself and not become completely possessed.
On the second day, Bai Mengjin asked Lu Aoshuang where his tomb was and prepared to pay homage there.
"Young Sect Leader, Fairy Bai." The person the Lu family came to receive was none other than the eldest son, Lu Zaihua.
Different from the harshness revealed in his words last night, he was now gentle and elegant, full of aristocratic bearing.
Mentioning his sister, Lu Zaihua's eyes were slightly red and he said: "Aoshuang has extraordinary qualifications. Our Lu family has been cultivating her as the future head of the family. We hope that she can transform into a god in one fell swoop and bring glory to the family. Unexpectedly..."
Ling Bufei didn't expose it and followed his words: "Miss Lu is indeed a hero among women. If Leng Qiufeng can control her, the two of them will become a couple of gods. What a pity!"
However, Lu Zaihua let out a trace of resentment: "That kid is a disaster! I don't know why Aoshuang fell in love with him! If he hadn't gotten involved with him, Aoshuang would be fine now!"
Perhaps it was with a hint of sincerity that Lu Zaihua said this very sincerely.
Then he realized that he had lost his temper and forced a smile: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said such words in front of distinguished guests. After Aoshuang's accident, we were hit hard... Please."
The two of them followed him into the Lu family cemetery. As they walked, Ling Bufei agreed: "Young master Lu feels sorry for his sister, which is what he should do."
Not long after, the two of them arrived at a mountain wall.
The monks did not pay attention to matters after death, so the cemetery was extremely simple. Small square pits were cut out on one side of the mountain wall, and the urns were placed in them, with names engraved next to them.
Lu Aoshuang only left such a small jar and a cold name in her life.
Bai Mengjin lit incense for her and said silently in her heart: Miss Lu, I know you died unjustly, and I will try my best to find Leng Qiufeng so that you can die in peace.
After the worship was over, Bai Mengjin asked: "Master Lu, how did Miss Lu die? How could Leng Qiufeng be so cruel?"
Lu Zaihua's eyes turned red and he said: "Judging from the maid's testimony, he was the one who was killed. He wanted to ask Aoshuang to go with him, but Aoshuang refused, so he forced himself... It's really abominable! If I find him
We must kill him as soon as he is traced!"
"What was Leng Qiufeng's state at that time? Was he already possessed by a demon?"
Lu Zaihua nodded: "That's what the maid said. His demonic nature is so strong that he is crazy."
"This is strange." Bai Mengjin thought thoughtfully, "Since his demonic nature is so strong, why not kill the maids as well? He is not weak to begin with, but he will only become stronger when he becomes a demon, right?"
Lu Zaihua was stunned and stuck.
"Master Lu?" Ling Bufei stared at him, "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Zaihua came to his senses and said, "Maybe he ran away because we were almost there, right?"
