Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 721: Legend of Ancient Sword 37

Jiang Xinxin hinted to Xunfang that she would only give Ouyang Shaogong, or Prince Changqin, ten days. After ten days, if Prince Changqin still refused to repent, she would kill him.

Xunfang was heartbroken, but when the truth was revealed, she could no longer continue to defend and excuse Prince Changqin.

After night fell, Jiang Xinxin took Ouyang Shaogong and Xunfang to Luo's house to reunite with everyone. Ling Yue could tell at a glance that something must have happened between Jiang Xinxin and Ouyang Shaogong. Baili Tusu and Feng Qingxue also noticed it, and even Feng Guangmo and Xiang Ling noticed it.

However, everyone was happy because they knew the whereabouts of the last piece of the jade pendant, and had no time to ask anything. Only Ling Yue waited until everyone fell asleep and then quietly left the room.

Jiang Xinxin had no intention of hiding Ouyang Shaogong's affairs from Ling Yue. Now that Ling Yue came to her himself, she of course told him everything she knew, even confessing her own origins.

"...But I really did see things wrong. Now Ouyang Shaogong is determined to do what he wants. Even his so-called beloved wife Xunfang may not be able to persuade him. And I can't let Tu Su inspire the other half of Prince Changqin's spirit, leaving him to become a desolate soul and eventually die. So I gave Xunfang ten days. If Ouyang Shaogong still doesn't change, I will take action directly."

Although Jiang Xinxin felt a little guilty, after all, it was she who made the decision to be lenient towards Ouyang Shaogong, causing him to harm many people. But she couldn't take all the blame on herself. After all, it was Ouyang Shaogong who did those things that killed people, not her.

Ling Yue understood the whole cause and effect, and did not say that Jiang Xinxin had done anything wrong. After all, when Ouyang Shaogong had not yet left Tianyong City, although he himself had suspected that the other party had ulterior motives, he was quickly dispelled by Ouyang Shaogong's various behaviors. Even Hongyu was the same. Therefore, it was normal for Jiang Xinxin to be kind to Ouyang Shaogong and even wanted to let him go at one point.

However, Ouyang Shaogong's matter was not very urgent, so Ling Yue asked about other things: "So after Junior Sister finishes Tu Su's matter, will you leave?"

Jiang Xinxin didn't expect Ling Yue to ask this first. "Not really. I've already said that my lover met with an accident and is now recuperating. I'm not in a hurry to leave."

Ling Yue lowered his head and smiled. After a long while, he spoke: "Then it's a deal. You will be my sword-wielding elder in the future, okay?"

It's not impossible to take over the position of Master Ziyin, but, "What about Fuqiu? Do you really have no feelings for Fuqiu?"

Speaking of Fuqiu, Ling Yue couldn't help but feel a little dazed, but he still followed his heart and answered: "Of course I have Fuqiu in my heart, but I will be the headmaster of Tianyong City in the future. Now I haven't taken that position yet. In addition to the unsolved Tu Su incident, it's also because I have been looking for the whereabouts of my brother Hu Zi."

Jiang Xinxin understood what Ling Yue meant. It was not that he was not attracted to Fuqiu, but that little bit of emotion seemed shallow compared to many other things.

Ling Yue has indeed taken on a lot of affairs now, but after all, Master Han Su is still in office, and Ling Yue is only helping him share most of the affairs instead of taking over everything.

Besides, Ling Yue himself said that whether it was Baili Tu Su's health, the safety of Fen Ji Sword, or even his younger brother whose nickname was Hu Zi and who appeared in his mouth for the first time, which one would not take up time and energy to do?

So, Fuqiu’s vision is really good, but she is also really aggrieved.

Ouyang Shaogong was thoughtful. The next morning, while Jiang Xinxin was chatting with Feng Qingxue and He Xiangling, she quietly checked the bodies of the two of them. Sure enough, she found a tiny poisonous insect in their bodies that was thinner than a silk thread and would not have been discovered if she had not used her spiritual sense to detect it.

The poisonous insect had not been activated yet and was still dormant on the heart meridian at this moment, but Jiang Xinxin believed that Ouyang Shaogong must have planted this poisonous insect not only in Feng Qingxue and Xiang Ling, but also in Baili Tusu, Fang Lansheng and even Yin Qianshang.

As for herself, since she had no flesh and blood yet, it would be of no use even if Ouyang Shaogong had cast a Gu on her.

Yesterday, Baili Tu Su used the scales of the Candle Dragon to divine the whereabouts of the remaining jade pendant fragments, but he only saw a deserted manor. Everyone tried their best but could only vaguely see the two words "Zixian". However, these two words "Zixian" have revealed the most crucial point. Fang Lansheng immediately guessed that the place indicated by the scales of the Candle Dragon should be a place called Zixian Villa.

"You see, although the place is so desolate and dilapidated that it's hard to even set foot there, it does cover a large area. And looking at the patterns on the window frames and other details, it's clear that this place must have been magnificent when it was glorious. So I guess this place must be a famous manor. You can just ask the local elders for more information."

Fang Lansheng is indeed very good at interpersonal communication and many details. He is not just a little clever, otherwise why would he neglect his studies and still pass the examination to become a scholar at such a young age.

But no one expected that there was someone in Ganquan Village, which was hundreds of miles away from Zixian Villa, who knew about Zixian Villa.

The people in Ganquan Village accepted the explanation that everyone made up yesterday. Baili Tu Su and Yin Qianshang were indeed in a mess when they took Fang Lansheng and Xiang Ling back, and the cave was indeed covered with traces of fire. Therefore, everyone accepted the statement that the Luo family of three died together with the vine monster in order to protect the villagers.

Even though the vine monster had been eliminated, the village chief was still a little worried, so he came to the Luo family early in the morning to inform everyone that they were about to leave.

Fang Lansheng just asked casually, but he didn't expect that the village chief had actually heard of this Zixian Villa.

The village chief was smoking a cigarette, and after listening to Fang Lansheng's description, he pretended to recall the past, "Hey, I can't remember what the manor was called, but I have heard of a dilapidated manor with hundreds of acres of land."

"No one can remember the name of the owner, but now that place has become a den of ghosts. Many monks go there every year to exorcise demons, but no one has ever succeeded. When I was young and went out to work, I heard that there was a female ghost in red in that den of ghosts when I went to the city. She was waiting for the enemy who wiped out the family to come and take revenge."

It was good that they had found the place. Ling Yue wanted to observe Ouyang Shaogong more, so he did not mention the matter of flying with a sword. Anyway, everyone was fast on foot, and a journey of a hundred miles would only take a day.

Because Jiang Xinxin had already told Ouyang Shaogong and Xunfang everything, the fact that Jiang Xinxin no longer cared about Ouyang Shaogong only made other people feel a little strange. Ouyang Shaogong himself did not have any doubts at all, so naturally he did not notice Ling Yue's temptation.

Of course, the reason why Ouyang Shaogong did not notice Ling Yue's temptation was more likely because Xunfang's physical condition had deteriorated.

In short, by the time everyone arrived near Zixian Villa, it was already dark.

The ghost den appeared because of the falling night. Not only Jiang Xinxin, Ling Yue and other cultivators, but even Fang Lansheng, who had not practiced much, saw it.

After a gust of cold wind, Fang Lansheng and Xiangling couldn't help but shiver. Seeing this, Ling Yue quickly asked everyone to stop first, "This ghost den is quite large, so Junior Sister Xinxin and I will go in to investigate, and Hongyu will stay outside to support us. The rest of us can go into the city and find a place to rest first."

This was a good arrangement. Yin Qianshang and Feng Qingxue took the initiative to escort the others away. Only Fang Lansheng knew that he should not stay and cause trouble, but he always felt that there was something in that den of evil that attracted him very much, so he looked back frequently when he left.

Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but frown when she saw this. She secretly put a breath-suppressing talisman on him and injected a stream of spiritual power into the green jade Si Nan pendant he was wearing, hoping that he could at least escape this disaster.

After the others left, Ling Yue and Jiang Xinxin walked into the magnificent gate with two large red lanterns hanging on it.
