You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Liu Yuntian chuckled, retracted his upper body, and patted the other person's shoulder, "Go back, you've worked hard today."

"promise..."

When Dongfang Lan disappeared on the street, Liu Yuntian placed his right arm on the hilt of the knife and continued to walk towards the Liu Mansion. Qi Xing was still following behind him. Driven by curiosity, he finally asked, "Mr. Liu, do you think there is something wrong with Dongfang Lan?"

Liu Yuntian did not look back nor pay any attention, but kept walking forward until Qi Sheng came back, stood in the distance and bowed deeply to Liu Yuntian, then he came forward and spoke.

"Mr. Liu, my father said that no matter what, the Qi family will always stand by Mr. Liu."

Liu Yuntian chuckled, "Is Uncle Qi also so well-informed?"

Qi Sheng shook his head. "It was me who informed father of your assassination. Father guessed that His Majesty would use him as a target. If the Qi family is safe, it must be that Lord Liu paid a huge price..."

"Uncle is really a wise and resourceful general. Why haven't you two learned some skills from him?"

These words made the two brothers Qi Xing and Qi Sheng feel ashamed, and they could only scratch the back of their heads in embarrassment.

"Go back and thank uncle for me. By the way, tell him that I understand his intentions. As long as the Liu family member is still alive, the Qi family will prosper forever."

Qi Sheng bowed quickly and said, "Yes!" Then he turned around and walked towards the Qi Mansion.

Liu Yuntian turned to look at Qi Xing, "Didn't you ask me why I thought there was something wrong with Dongfang Lan?"

Qi Xing nodded in confusion.

"Qi Sheng!"

Hearing Liu Yuntian calling him, Qi Sheng hurriedly stopped, turned around, bowed deeply, and pricked up his ears to listen to his orders.

"Who do you think is the traitor around me?"

Qi Sheng was stunned for a moment, then slowly stood up and asked in confusion, "Is there a traitor among us?! I will go check it out right away!"

Liu Yuntian sneered, pointed at Qi Sheng and said, "This is the first reaction of a normal person."

Without waiting for Qi Xing to say anything, Liu Yuntian shouted, "No need to check, go back to sleep, there will be a big job tomorrow!"

Having said that, he looked at Qi Xing and said, "You too."

"promise!"

......

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, just after daybreak, Liu Yuntian was fetching water from the well to wash his face alone. Qi Xing, as usual, climbed over the wall and saw Liu Yuntian fetching water from the well himself. He hurried over and took the bucket.

"Mr. Liu, why are you doing this yourself? Where are the servants?"

Liu Yuntian threw the towel directly into the bucket, wet it, wrung it out, and wiped his face. "Let Old Liu take them all away. Those who didn't want to leave were given money to go home."

"this......"

Qi Xing sighed helplessly, turned around and walked to the well, picked up the bamboo toothbrush there, and handed it to Liu Yuntian, "Mr. Liu, I'll go to the toothbrush shop later and help you recruit some servants." After saying that, he stood aside.

"Gulu gulu gulu..."

Liu Yuntian took the toothbrush and started brushing his teeth, making indistinct sounds. After a while, he spit out the mouthwash in his mouth, waved his hand, and said, "No need, there's no need to bother. Back then, it was me who proposed to ban human trafficking. If I go to the tooth shop to buy people now because I need them, wouldn't that be a slap in my face?"

Then he turned around and looked at Qi Xing and asked, "Tell me, I have provided these people with enough food and warm clothes, so why would they take the initiative to sell themselves into slavery?"

Qi Xing scratched his head, walked silently to the well, picked up the bamboo tube, filled it with water, and then carefully brought it to Liu Yuntian.

After a moment of silence, he said, "You are the ninth-rank official in front of the county governor. Although you do not allow the human trafficking, the common people are still willing to volunteer to be slaves. Because in their opinion, if they can be bought by officials or nobles, they may have the opportunity to become a minor official and enjoy wealth and glory! So for them, banning the human trafficking may not be a blessing."

"When did you have this insight?"

After helping Liu Yuntian wash up, Qi Xing smiled and replied, "My father said all this, I just repeated it."

He took the sword from Qi Xing and hung it on his waist, then walked straight out of the mansion, "Let's go, don't keep the guests waiting."

......

As Liu Yuntian was on his way to the palace, the entire capital city was constantly flooded with National Defense Army soldiers. Even in the sky, every few dozen meters there would be a member of the Tianyuan Camp standing guard on a magic wolf.

Every National Defense Army soldier who passed by saluted Liu Yuntian until they entered the palace.

Entering the main hall where the morning court was held, there were no ministers in the hall at this moment. Instead, there was a rectangular table with six chairs around it, which were already full of people.

When Liu Yuntian entered the hall, everyone looked at him, but they just took a glance and then turned their heads away.

"Lord Liu is here, please take a seat, don't keep the immortals waiting for too long."

Ye Xinglan, who was sitting in the middle, showed a happy smile on his face. He waved enthusiastically to Liu Yuntian to come forward and sit down, and personally fiddled with the chair next to him.

As Liu Yuntian took his seat, Wei Yuanzi, who was sitting opposite him, came into view.

"Hey, isn't this Elder Wei, who used extremely cruel means to escape? What? Has he come back to the sect to cry and beg the Sect Master for justice?"

There was a slight smile on Liu Yuntian's lips, full of sarcasm.

However, Wei Yuanzi was not affected. He stroked his beard, glanced at Liu Yuntian, and snorted, "That's right, we are here just to ask for an explanation."

Then he bowed to the head of Qingyun Sect next to him.

"Master, the Hu family was wiped out, and their daughter is practicing in my Qingyun Sect. I originally planned to act as a peacemaker and fight for her life. Unexpectedly, this evil villain openly killed my Qingyun Sect's disciples on the street, and even spared my own disciples. None of the eight people and eight deer were spared, and they were all killed."

"If I hadn't run fast, I would have been slaughtered." Having said that, Wei Yuanzi pretended to be sad and raised his hand to wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

Finally, he turned around and questioned Ye Xinglan: "Excuse me, Emperor Daliang, is what I said true?"

The head of Qingyun Sect closed his eyes, looking like an immortal. At this moment, he slowly opened his eyes and asked softly, "Is that true?"

Ye Xinglan looked embarrassed, gently stroked his forehead, and sighed: "Ah, it is true. It's just that I happened to be in seclusion at the time, so I don't know the specific situation."

Liu Yuntian frowned tightly, cursing in his heart: What a traitor! At this critical moment when we are united against the outside world, he is still avoiding suspicion here? I knew this B was unreliable!

However, Liu Yuntian did not pin his hopes on him. Every time the immortal sect came to put pressure on him, he would do his best to shoulder the burden anyway.

So, he gently lifted his buttocks, pushed the chair back half an inch, and then unceremoniously put his feet directly on the table, stared at the other party in an arrogant manner, and said: "Eight people and eight deer? That's right, I did it, what do you think?"
