Struggle of House Boss

That night, Elder Mu, who went to the high priest to find some spare medicinal materials, found his already frozen body, and immediately reported the matter to the leader.

The foreign race believes in witchcraft, and the high priest is the spiritual leader of the foreign race. He has a high prestige in the religion, and his status is second only to Ji Wushuang. Therefore, his death caused great shock among the believers.Under the panic, Ji Wushuang was under pressure to make a thorough investigation of the matter.

The torture hall interrogated many people overnight, dragged and dragged, and found no valuable clues, only found that there were only three people who went to the high priest's place that day, one was a drug boy under the high priest's hand; A Xi, the disciple under Elder Mu's seat; and Elder Mu himself.

Both Yaotong and Axi were in their early ten years of age, no matter how they looked at it, it was impossible to kill the high priest with outstanding martial arts and prudent actions. Therefore, only Elder Mu, whose martial arts were comparable to the high priest, was the most suspicious.In the past, some of Elder Mu's disciples were favored by the high priest and secretly robbed them to become medicine men. As a result, Elder Mu had an enmity with the high priest. Almost everyone in the sect knew about it.

Due to Elder Mu's status, Xing Tang did not dare to be exclusive, so he specifically reported the matter to the leader, asking him to make a decision.

Ji Wushuang immediately called Elder Mu to confront him. Elder Mu denied it at first, but when he heard that his beloved disciple was also one of the three suspects, his complexion changed drastically. After persisting for a while, he suddenly changed his mouth and admitted to poisoning the high priest. fact.

The elder of the punishment hall was extremely surprised and couldn't believe his ears, but Ji Wushuang had a calm face, as if he had expected it a long time ago. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and called the guards to press Elder Mu into the dungeon, waiting for his punishment.

After Elder Mu was taken away, Ji Wushuang dismissed the elders of the punishment hall, sitting quietly on the side of the couch with a solemn face, thinking.

"What do you think about this matter?" Two quarters of an hour later, he tilted his head and turned to his sister, asking slowly.

"Elder Mu didn't do it." Female Ji Wushuang said firmly.

"Well, Elder Mu has a straightforward personality. If he wants to kill the high priest, he will first hand over the life and death stickers and have a fight. He will never use poisonous killings. Moreover, based on the skills of him and the high priest The grievances are not enough to cause a murder." Ji Wushuang narrowed his eyes and spoke out his doubts.

"Indeed. And, have you noticed? He refused to admit it at first, but then quickly changed his words. This is not in line with his usual behavior." Female Ji Wushuang then added.

"It wasn't Elder Mu, so who killed the high priest?" Ji Wushuang's eyes changed, and his tone was full of interest.

"Could it be..." Female Ji Wushuang hesitated, and withdrew the second half of the sentence.

"Poison killing, no resistance, one hit is sure to hit, this doesn't require any advanced martial arts, it just needs a very clever mind, tell me, among these three, who else has the ability to kill the cautious high priest?" Ji Wushuang wasn't angry at all about the murder of his general, but there was some interest in his eyes.

"It's a boy." The female Ji Wushuang said in a firm tone.

"Heh~" Ji Wushuang smiled lowly, nodded and said, "I really can't think of anyone other than him. The reason why Elder Mu pleaded guilty is probably to protect him."

"It's just, why did he kill the high priest?" Female Ji Wushuang still had doubts in her heart, "How should we deal with this matter?"

"Why? Only Xiaotong knows the reason. The high priest died at the hands of a young child, and he can only be blamed for his inferior skills, so he died." Ji Wushuang's tone was cold and heartless, but when he thought of Xiaotong, he suddenly softened. Seeing the coldness in his eyes, "Since Elder Mu has admitted, this matter is over, and it is fine to deal with it according to the canon. Anyway, he is still one of the ten elders. Even if he is charged with murder, at most he will be dismissed from his martial arts and position." That's all, it's not a big deal. It would be different if we found the little boy, and we can't protect him as our leader."

Between Elder Mu and Tong, Ji Wushuang chose the latter without hesitation.

The female Ji Wushuang was a little hesitant, and sighed, "Sacrificing Elder Mu like this? It means that he was also loyal to our confidant from the very beginning, and checked and balanced the power of other elders. It would be a pity to abolish him."

"Elder Mu has become useless, so I will personally teach the little boy. Leave Elder Mu's position as an elder vacant. After a few years, it will be the same to support the little boy." Ji Wushuang waved his hands, his tone was indifferent, but there was a burst of joy in his heart .

Abandoning Xiaotong with his own hands, he has been tormented by remorse every day for the past two years, he has long coveted Xiaotong in his heart for a long time, now there is an upright reason to draw Xiaotong to his side, it is exactly in his favor, how could he not grab it?As for Elder Mu, to him, it was just a pawn to check and balance the various forces in the church, it was dispensable, and it would not be a pity if it was damaged.

Although he has a cold nature, he is extremely protective of those who walk into the depths of his heart.Xiaotong seems to be the most important person in his heart now, and his care has faintly surpassed that of Wolf Girl, and Elder Mu is even more incomparable.

The female Ji Wushuang also liked Shui Jingxuan very much, and after a moment of consideration, she made the same decision as her younger brother.Thinking that Elder Mu had suffered on behalf of Shui Jingxuan, she sighed, "I don't know how the boy will react when he gets the news tomorrow? Will he pretend to be deaf or dumb or admit it voluntarily."

It would be too chilling to pretend to be deaf and dumb.She thought to herself.

"No matter how he reacts, I will find a way to keep him. He is extremely talented and enlightened. If he is cultivated to become a talent, ten Mu elders combined will not be as effective as him." Ji Wushuang turned to look out the window into the deep night, His eyes were empty, his tone seemed very casual, but his heart was touched by his sister's words, and he began to imagine the boy's response tomorrow.

On the one hand, he very much does not want the little boy to turn himself in regardless of life and death in order to save Elder Mu, which proves that Elder Mu is very important in his heart, more than life.Just thinking of this possibility, Ji Wushuang's body trembled with the onslaught of jealousy.

On the other hand, he didn't like Xiaotong leaving Elder Mu alone, which proved that Xiaotong was selfish, ruthless and ungrateful, and he would be estranged from Xiaotong in the future because of this matter.

In short, Ji Wushuang's mood was ups and downs, and words were hard to describe.He didn't realize at all that his current happiness, anger, and every move were gradually being drawn by this child, and he couldn't control himself.

The next day, Shui Jingxuan reported to Elder Mu as usual, but on the way, he was shocked to hear about Elder Mu's murder of the high priest from his fellow disciples, and his heart skipped a beat.

He stabilized his mind, obtained a lot of information from the disciples of the elders of the punishment hall with a few words, and immediately realized that Elder Mu might have guessed what he did and was taking the blame for him.

"How did this happen? My master is definitely not that kind of person." Shui Jingxuan said to the punishment hall disciple with an anxious face, "I wonder if you can accommodate me, Amu, and let me meet my master?"

As the first disciple of Elder Mu, his request can be said to be human nature, and the leader has not issued an order not to allow people to visit, then Amu is also the first disciple of the elder of the punishment hall, and he has some rights in his hands. Brother Axi was kind, and he agreed without even thinking about it.

After being taken to the dungeon where the stench was overwhelming and the miasma was overwhelming, Shui Jingxuan's frowning brows raised a little, and his face was dark and gloomy.

He just killed someone with his front foot, and the master arrived with his back foot, and took the blame for him. Could it be that God made him a joke?However, Shui Jingxuan never liked to be teased by others, even if the one who teased him was God, he would try every means to change his fate.The man was murdered by him, and the master raised him for two years. He did his best in everything and cared for him. Unless he lost his conscience and was worse than a beast, otherwise, he would never abandon him.

"Master, I'm here to see you." Coming to a relatively clean prison door, Shui Jingxuan called to Elder Mu who was meditating cross-legged in the corner.

"What are you doing here? Go back!" Elder Mu suddenly opened his eyes, sensing that there was no congregation watching around, he snapped.

"Master, I killed the high priest." Shui Jingxuan ignored Elder Mu's harsh attitude and went straight to the point.

Although Elder Mu had already guessed in his heart, he couldn't help being stunned at this moment. After waking up, he lowered his head and laughed lowly, thinking in his heart: This thing really did it!Well, this seat can barely draw with the high priest, but the apprentice can kill him in an instant.The future of this disciple is limitless, and it is worth it for me to save him today.

After thinking about it, he wiped his face, hid the relief in his eyes, and said in a harsh tone, "I killed the high priest, so what's the matter with you? Don't you want to take the blame for me because of that bit of master-student relationship?" .Go away!"

"Master is clear about who will take the blame for whom. My apprentice just wants to tell Master that I will definitely rescue you, so please wait patiently." He firmly grasped the wooden railing in front of the prison door, his tone was solemn, like an oath .

They've only been together for two years, but Elder Mu treats him as if he was his own. Even if his heart is as hard as iron, he's been muffled right now.

"I don't need you to save me as a teacher. Don't be impulsive and ruin your future, do you hear?" Elder Mu was a little anxious, and rushed to the prison door, wanting to grab the sleeve of his beloved apprentice and admonish him, but he didn't want his apprentice to take a step too early After getting away, he left without hesitation, and his back was determined and determined, which made him feel uneasy.

Shui Jingxuan returned to the room, fastened the door, and was alone in the room, thinking about countermeasures quietly.

He rested his forehead with one hand, and tapped lightly on the table beside him with the other. Amidst the slow but very regular clicks, his thoughts gradually became clear: Prison robbery?This is impossible, he doesn't have that ability, then, not only will he kill Elder Mu, but he will also be unable to escape; surrender?Elder Mu is fine, but what is waiting for him is death, so he needs to think carefully.

After filtering all possible methods, Shui Jingxuan lowered his head and smiled wryly, sighing in his heart: It seems that the only solution for the present is to resort to dangerous tactics by soldiers, put them to death and survive.Go to Ji Wushuang and surrender!How the surrender method can make him soften his heart and save his own life, he has already made up his mind.

It is rare for Ji Wushuang to catch someone's eyes. Once he catches his eyes, he will definitely try his best to protect him.In the past two years, Shui Jingxuan asked himself if he could still catch Ji Wushuang's eyes, so he bet on his feelings.If he wins the bet, everyone is happy, but if he loses the bet, he is somewhat sure of escaping from the Demon Cult.

As soon as he thought of it, Shui Jingxuan smoothed the folds of his clothes, and walked to Ji Wushuang's residence in a leisurely manner.

Hearing the servant's report of Ah Xi's request to see him, Ji Wushuang was stunned, and a sigh of jealousy and hatred mixed with "the boy really values ​​love and righteousness" all hit his heart, making him feel a little lost for a moment.

The female Ji Wushuang laughed loudly, and praised loudly, "Okay, as expected of the person I am looking for, loyal and filial, great! Let him in!"

From Ji Wushuang's elated tone, it can be seen that she is very satisfied with Shui Jingxuan's actions.She doesn't have the same thoughts as her younger brother. From her point of view, the boy is not only exceptionally talented, intelligent, but also very loyal.
