Chu Li said: "Sect Master, can't Qitian Sect refuse?"
"It's not that you can't refuse." Xu Qiang shook his head and said, "It's just that if it's not necessary, they are all petty. If they are rejected, they will definitely remember it in their hearts and will always find it back in the future."
Chu Li said: "How to get it back?"
Xu Qiang shook his head and said: "They will come back tenfold and a hundredfold. Not only will they refuse, but they will also resort to tricks to deal with you quietly. You have to be on guard."
Chu Li said: "Then I can't agree even more."
Xu Qiang smiled and said: "But there is no need to worry, they are very generous to their friends and will repay them ten times or a hundred times."
"That's the best companion and the worst opponent?" Chu Li said: "Does Qitianmen still win people's hearts?"
"They are acting crazy and regardless of the consequences, but they are not angry. They still have many allies, so they should not be underestimated." Xu Qiang nodded lightly and said: "If everyone really disliked them, they would have joined forces to get rid of them long ago."
Chu Li frowned and said, "Then I have to help?"
Xu Qiang said: "Doing a small favor will bring great benefits. This is a good job... I think Li Qi, you are afraid of Qi Tianmen? That's not necessary. You are now a worshiper of Nantianmen, so you have more confidence!"
"
Chu Li showed a helpless look.
Only Song Manyin knew about his murder of Bao Cheng. Because it involved the Wuxiang Sword, he couldn't tell the people at Nantianmen too much, otherwise he wouldn't be human inside and out.
It's hard to say whether Qitianmen knows this.
But he would not underestimate Qi Tianmen's vigilance. In all likelihood, if he knew it, he would directly lure the tiger away from the mountain, lend him out, and then find an excuse to kill him, treating it as an accident, without anyone noticing.
"Li Gongfeng, are you hiding something from me?" Xu Qiang said with a smile.
He saw that something was wrong with Chu Li and that helping Qitianmen would be of great benefit, but he tried to evade it in every possible way, as if he had a grudge against Qitianmen. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, the matter of Hou Xianji is over.
Tianmen will not pursue it any further."
Chu Li shook his head and sighed: "Master, there is actually one thing I didn't say."
"What's the matter?" Xu Qiang asked.
Chu Li said: "I killed Bao Cheng, the man from Qitianmen who was good at deducing heavenly secrets."
"Bao Cheng?" Xu Qiang immediately remembered who Bao Cheng was, and his expression changed: "Did you really kill him?"
"He wants to kill me, so he has no choice but to kill me." Chu Li shook his head and sighed: "We are both proficient in deducing secrets, but he regards me as a thorn in his side. Moreover, he wants to avenge Hou Xianji, so he can only kill me."
He,...the sect leader, have I brought trouble to the sect?"
"Haha!" Xu Qiang laughed.
Chu Li was startled, not expecting him to react like this.
Xu Qiang laughed and said, "Did you really kill Bao Cheng?"
Chu Li nodded doubtfully.
Xu Qiang patted him on the shoulder hard and couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "Okay! Well done!"
Chu Li said: "The sect master is not afraid of fighting with the Qitian Sect?"
"I'll beat you, whoever you're afraid of!" Xu Qiang laughed twice, trying to suppress his smile and said: "But by killing that Bao Cheng, you broke one of their wings. It was a great job! ...I know how.
Your Highness will be rewarded with more meritorious deeds on a mission, what else do you want?"
Chu Li shook his head and smiled: "I thought the sect master would blame me. After all, I caused a big trouble. However, they shouldn't be able to conclude that I must have killed him. I have made arrangements to confuse the secrets. They are just suspicious."
"It's too late to thank you!" Xu Qiang snorted: "I've always wanted to kill this Bao Cheng, but unfortunately he knows the secrets and derivation, avoids disasters and pursues good fortunes, and can't do secret calculations at all... But this is also like Qitianmen's behavior
Zhifeng, as long as you have doubts, you won’t care whether it’s true or not, you’d rather kill the wrong one than let him go!”
Chu Li said: "Then how should I deal with it?"
Xu Qiang hummed: "Hide inside the door and don't go out, let's see what they can do!"
Chu Li clasped his fists and said, "I'm afraid I'll turn against Qi Tianmen. If we really have to fight, my sin will be huge!"
"If Qitianmen really wants to fight, then fight. Others are afraid of Qitianmen, but we are not afraid!" Xu Qiang said: "And even if we fight, you only have a pretext, don't think too much!"
"Yes." Chu Li nodded slowly.
Xu Qiang patted him on the shoulder: "Stay inside the door and don't go out wandering around."
"Understood." Chu Li smiled.
Xu Qiang turned and left.
He ducked back to the Hall of Questioning Heart.
Xu Xiangshan looked at him with a smile and a determined expression: "Master Xu, how are you doing?"
Xu Qiang shook his head: "Unfortunately, he is also in retreat, and he went crazy while practicing, and was seriously injured."
"What a coincidence?" Xu Xiangshan smiled: "As soon as we came over, he was injured?"
"Well, there is indeed such a coincidence." Xu Qiang sighed and said: "He has been in seclusion for a while. Because it is for worship, he has not disturbed him. Unexpectedly, something went wrong while practicing, and he has been healing himself."
"The injury could be caused by a crazy act, or it could be caused by fighting with someone, right?" Xu Xiangshan smiled meaningfully.
Xu Qiang frowned: "How do you say this?"
Xu Xiangshan still had a meaningful smile: "Did that Li Gongfeng start a fight with others?"
"How can doing something and being obsessed with it be the same?" Xu Qiang said solemnly: "I am not an old fool, I can't tell this difference!"
"Then may I pay a visit to Li Gongfeng?" Xu Xiangshan asked.
Xu Qiang said: "He has gone crazy and is recovering from his injuries. Can't disturb him."
"Does this Li Gongfeng have a guilty conscience?" Xu Xiangshan said lightly.
"What are you guilty of?" Xu Qiang frowned and said: "Elder Xu, you have been speaking in a weird manner. What happened? Li Gongfeng was injured and couldn't help. Do you have to help even though he was injured? You Qi Tianmen are so shameless!"
His face darkened and he said coldly: "Elder Xu, you are not asking for help, you are here to force me!"
"Master Xu is serious." Xu Xiangshan said with a smile: "We don't mean that. We are just curious whether Li Gongfeng is injured or is just trying to evade."
"So what if you refuse!" Xu Qiang sneered and said: "Li Cong is the worshiper of our Nantianmen, not your Qitianmen. Even if it is your Qitianmen, can the worshiper come and go as soon as he is called? It is not voluntary.
?”
"That's true." Xu Xiangshan sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xu is too impatient. If the traitor is not eliminated, we will not be able to rest at ease."
"Of course I understand." Xu Qiang's tone was much gentler, and he said calmly: "But Li Gongfeng really can't help. If there is nothing you can do, if it doesn't work, you can go to Lanxing Sect."
"How could Lanxing Sect get involved in such a thing?" Xu Xiangshan shook his head.
Xu Qiang said: "Then let's wait for Bao Zongfang in your sect to take action."
"Alas..." Xu Xiangshan smiled bitterly, clasped his fists and said, "Then Xu will say goodbye!"
"I'm sorry for sending you off so far." Xu Qiang clasped his fists.
Xu Xiangshan and the others walked down the road to ask questions. After leaving for a while, a vicious old man behind them said in a deep voice: "Elder Xu, it seems that the murderer is Li Qi!"
"Yes." Xu Xiangshan's smile did not change and he said calmly: "With such a guilty conscience, there is no doubt that he is the one who is responsible for it. Find a way to get rid of him!"
"I'm afraid it won't be easy." Another fierce old man said solemnly: "Looking at Xu Qiang's appearance, he will definitely protect Li Qi. Those who are proficient in deducing the secrets of heaven are too precious after all."
