Chapter 40: Jealousy
When Ji Nuan was still confused, he suddenly heard what sounded like a fight coming from outside the cave. "Uh...", followed by a scream, Ji Nuan quickly ran towards the entrance of the cave.
However, Tang Siyan kept tugging on her sleeves, which slowed her down a lot. When she ran to the entrance of the cave, she found that the two Zhufeng disciples guarding the entrance had already died.
Both of them had their eyes widened, and their hearts had been brutally ripped out. One of them was still holding a long sword tightly in his hand, obviously having gone through a fierce struggle with the murderer.
They ran out as soon as they heard the noise, but in the end they were a step too late. Yu Man immediately chased them out, and Ji Nuan wanted to chase them out too, but Tang Siyan was holding them back.
After a while, Zhu Changqin ran back with everyone. Before he returned to Qinzhou City, he received a message from the two of them. The letter only contained two simple words: "Save me", so he immediately led his disciples
They rushed back, but they didn't wait for him after all.
Seeing this, Zhu Changqin immediately glared at Ji Nuan and asked, "Why didn't you save them, or do you have some hidden secret?"
Ji Nuan originally regretted that she could not save them, and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I was late."
Zhu Changqin's face was full of disdain: "Humph, I'm late. I see that you are clearly seeking revenge for personal revenge. Or is this what you did? Otherwise, why weren't you the ones who died?"
Seeing this, Tang Siyan immediately retorted: "Zhu Changqin, you have gone too far. We ran out when we heard the noise. We did not want them to die. Besides, as their senior brother, you failed to protect them."
It’s your responsibility.”
When Zhu Changqin heard this, he became angry and drew his sword, pointing it at Tang Siyan and shouting: "You are using strong words to make excuses. Today I will take you to the master for evaluation."
After saying that, she attacked Ji Nuan, and when Ji Nuan was about to fight back, Song Wangchen descended from the sky and stood in front of her. With a slight push of his palm, a wave of powerful spiritual power was sent out.
Zhu Changqin was unable to dodge and was immediately thrown away, falling heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, Li Qingyuan pulled him up and said flatteringly: "Brother, are you okay?"
Zhu Changqin pushed him away, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and faced Song Wangchen and said harshly: "Bah, Song Wangchen, you actually helped her. Could it be that you and her are in the same group? That's right.
, it was you who took her away last time."
Song Wangchen stared at him with sharp eyes and said angrily: "It's beyond stupid."
As the first disciple of Zhufeng, his disciple was killed. Isn't it stupid to not find the murderer but to embarrass his own brothers and sisters?
"You..." Zhu Changqin pointed angrily at Song Wangchen, who was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Seeing such a good opportunity to sow discord, Li Qingyuan naturally would not miss it, and immediately said: "Senior Brother Song, there were only two of them here when we arrived, and no one else was seen. No wonder Senior Brother misunderstood."
"Pah", Zhu Changqin was so angry that he slapped his hand back and said angrily: "What's the misunderstanding? She is an accomplice."
Li Qingyuan immediately covered his face and lowered his head in silence, seeming a little sad and remorseful.
Song Wangchen watched all this with cold eyes and turned around to face Ji Nuan's beautiful eyes. She stared straight at him, wondering why he always appeared in time to save her.
Song Wangchen had long known that Mo Yun and Xiang Ling were not the murderers. He came here to check out the situation in the cave. As soon as he arrived in the forest, Zhu Xie immediately glowed and trembled violently. He knew that a demon must have appeared.
He immediately chased him into the mountains.
Unexpectedly, he didn't chase for long before he felt Ji Nuan's aura. He was worried that Ji Nuan would be in danger, so he rushed over and blocked her in time.
The two looked at each other
No one spoke. From the corner of his eye, Song Wangchen saw Tang Siyan pulling on Ji Nuan's sleeve, and his face became increasingly gloomy.
Tang Siyan immediately let go, turned to Zhu Changqin in embarrassment, and yelled angrily: "Zhu Changqin, that's enough, can you please use your brain to do things? Look, the hearts of those two senior brothers have been ripped out. You
Look at us again, there is not even a trace of blood on our bodies, which eye did you see us killing them with?"
"you…"
Zhu Changqin turned around angrily and roared: "Why are you still standing there? Take them back quickly."
Several disciples immediately picked up the dead body in a panic and walked towards the foot of the mountain. As Zhu Changqin walked, he said viciously: "You'd better not let me catch you, otherwise I will never let you go."
"You..." Ji Nuan wanted to ask Song Wangchen why he was here. Suddenly he saw Yu Man running back and immediately changed it to: "You are back, how are you?"
Yu Man shook his head and said, "I found nothing."
Song Wangchen responded: "There is a demon." However, his words were always so brief, and several people who heard them were confused and couldn't figure out what he meant.
Upon hearing this, Tang Siyan immediately pulled Ji Nuan's wrist alertly, hiding behind her and asking: "Where can there be monsters? Ji Nuan, you insisted on me coming, you have to be responsible for me."
"
Yu Man stared at him with unkind eyes, wondering how Ji Nuan could let such a useless person follow him. If it hadn't been for him, maybe they could have saved the two Zhufeng disciples in time.
Song Wangchen felt very uncomfortable watching all this, and then turned around and left.
Ji Nuan suddenly shouted loudly: "Song Wangchen, Xiang Ling is not the murderer. The person who died here may not be a monk. Someone deliberately framed her. Mo Yun was not wrong."
Song Wangchen stopped when he heard this and responded: "I know". Then he continued to walk forward.
A spark of fire suddenly lit up in Ji Nuan's heart. He knew that he had known it for a long time, that he believed in Mo Yun, and that he was not as heartless as he thought.
Tang Siyan dragged Ji Nuan's sleeves all the way back to the inn. It was already dark. He was tired and hungry, but thinking about everything he had done during the day and unable to eat anything, he could only walk to the table.
He sat down and lay weakly on the table.
As soon as Ji Nuan walked in, he suddenly turned around and said, "I'm going to replace Jiang Yu. He's been watching him all day."
Upon hearing this, Tang Siyan immediately stood up and begged: "No! Who will protect me if you leave? What if the monster suddenly appears again at night?"
Yu Man glared at him displeased, and then said to Ji Nuan: "I'll go! You've been tired for the whole day, so take a good rest!"
"But you..." Yu Man walked out before Ji Nuan finished speaking. Ji Nuan immediately chased him to the door and shouted: "Be careful."
Yu Man waved to her from behind and continued to stride forward.
When Tang Siyan saw Ji Nuan going upstairs, he immediately followed him until he reached the door. Ji Nuan turned and looked at him in confusion. He immediately laughed and said: "As a people's policeman, it is your duty to protect citizens. There may be someone right now."
If something happens to me at any time, I request round-the-clock escort."
Ji Nuan said helplessly: "Okay, come in! You can wait until Jiang Yu comes back before leaving."
Tang Siyan saw that his goal was achieved and followed him in flatteringly.
Yu Manxing walked to Mo Mansion, flew up to the roof, and saw Jiang Yu carefully observing the movements of Mo Mansion.
"Who?" When Jiang Yu heard the noise, he immediately turned around with his sword in hand. After seeing the person clearly, he immediately put away his sword and asked, "Junior Sister Yu, are you here to gain anything?"
Yu Man responded: "Ji Nuan asked me to replace you.
Go, you go!" Yu Man was still the same, even more disdainful of people like him who were born as retainers, and didn't even bother to answer his questions.
Jiang Yu clenched his fists tightly, but said with a flattering smile on his face: "Then it's my fault, Junior Sister."
Yu Man kept staring at Mo Mansion without answering. Jiang Yu turned around angrily and flew off the roof. A piece of rubble was immediately stepped on, making a crisp sound.
"Who?" A disciple in Mo Mansion exclaimed. All the disciples gathered together and looked towards the roof. Yu Man immediately flew off the roof.
"Chase". Mo An gave the order and everyone chased him out.
Seeing this, Jiang Yu immediately apologized: "Junior sister, I didn't mean it."
Yu Man glared angrily and ran away first. Jiang Yu immediately followed.
When everyone chased them out of Mo Mansion, they could not see their figures anywhere. Mo An immediately waved and everyone followed them back to Mo Mansion.
Mo Feng heard the movement and immediately asked: "What happened?"
Mo An replied: "Back to the sect master, someone is peeping."
Mo Feng understood it and immediately stopped and said: "Let's forget about it, let's go back and rest!"
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison. Although Mo An was confused, he still respectfully stepped back.
After Mo Feng returned to the room, he suddenly said: "Come out!"
The family minister then walked out from behind the door, and Mo Feng continued to ask: "What did you find?"
The family minister respectfully replied: "The family minister is incompetent and has not found the murderer. Two Muxi disciples have been killed today. I'm afraid someone did it deliberately."
"Put this matter aside for now. Now I have more important things for you to do..." Mo Feng deliberately whispered beside him again, both of them with evil smiles on their faces...
When Yu Man returned to the room, she saw Ji Nuan and Tang Siyan leaning together with their backs to her. She immediately turned around angrily, not expecting to bump into Jiang Yu who was following her.
"Ah...", as Jiang Yu cried out in pain, Ji Nuan and Tang Siyan realized that someone was coming. Because they were bored, they discussed time travel. At this time, the two of them were holding brushes and trying to recall the locust tree that day.
, but their memories became increasingly blurry. They only drew a tree trunk and could not remember anything else.
Ji Nuan was surprised: "Why are you all back? What happened?"
Jiang Yu blamed himself: "We were discovered accidentally. It's all my fault."
Yu Man turned around and saw Ji Nuan holding a writing brush with the same gesture as holding a sword, and her nose had somehow got a drop of ink on it, making her look funny.
"Pfft", Yu Man chuckled, completely forgetting her unhappiness just now. She had misunderstood just now. It turned out that they were painting. She thought they were...
Jiang Yu looked at Yu Man in confusion, wondering why she was moody and why she made an exception for Ji Nuan.
When Tang Siyan saw Jiang Yu coming back, he immediately ran over and said with a smile, "You're finally back, and you're almost killing me." After saying that, he pulled Jiang Yu away.
Ji Nuan was still wondering why she laughed suddenly, but Yu Man had walked up to her and gently wiped her nose with his sleeve. Her eyes were gentle, and she was completely different from the fierce Yu Man before.
"Why are you so careless? It's all on your nose." Yu Man put down his hand and asked softly.
Ji Nuan raised her left hand and touched her head and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't even notice it."
Yu Man took the brush from her hand and asked: "What do you want to draw, I will help you."
