I inherited my husband's divine position

Chapter 738 Rise

An unremarkable branch, as if it had been stored for too long, the branch had become dry due to lack of water, and it seemed that it would break easily if bent.

Li Jingsheng's gloomy eyes flashed with light after seeing this thing, and he put it into his Ruyi bag without hesitation.

When facing the head of Fangcao Pavilion, his expression returned to normal and he took the initiative to say, "Shen Zhong is dead. Do you have a candidate for his position?"

The head of Fangcao Pavilion nodded but did not directly say who it was.

Li Jingsheng narrowed his eyes.

Although the power of the Torture Hall was great, he was focused on alchemy and did not care much about the power outside the Fangcao Pavilion. Especially after Shen Zhong's death, the gap between the outer pavilion and the inner garden was further proved.

The topic of interrogating the hall master was simply passed over. Compared to the position of the hall master, Li Jingsheng was more concerned about another person.

He directly proposed to the Master of Fangcao Pavilion, "I want one person."

The head of Fangcao Pavilion did not wait for him to say the man's name, and said with understanding: "It is indeed rare to have a yin and yang body, but it is not unique."

Li Jingsheng heard the rejection in this statement and asked coldly, "Why?"

The head of Fangcao Pavilion said, "She has already become a disciple of Shen Zhong. Now that Shen Zhong has just died at your hands, it is inconvenient to hand her over to you."

Although the Master of Fangcao Pavilion appears to be very easy to talk to, Li Jingsheng knows that he is an old fox. Once he has made a decision, he will not change it, no matter how well he speaks and seems to be easily persuaded.

Li Jingsheng did not intend to give up easily, and said: "It is not convenient now, but it may not be convenient in the future."

The head of Fangcao Pavilion smiled and agreed, but did not give a clear answer.

Li Jingsheng just couldn't stand his attitude. His poisonous tongue that could make other people so angry that they vomited blood had no effect on the Master of Fangcao Pavilion. It was like punching cotton, which made him feel suffocated.

If those enemies who had suffered from Li Jingsheng's torture were to see this scene, I wonder how happy they would be.

It can really be said that there is always someone who can defeat you.

At this time, the head of Fangcao Pavilion also asked Li Jingsheng for one person.

When Li Jingsheng heard the name he said, he was only slightly surprised and then he understood.

"Wan Xiaohao." Li Jingsheng said calmly, "He is loyal and has never revealed the person behind it."

The head of Fangcao Pavilion said: "I arranged him to be by your side in case of emergency, to facilitate the killing of Shen Zhong."

Li Jingsheng was somewhat unaccustomed to the Fangcao Pavilion Master's straightforwardness.

There's a kind of madness where once something has been done and no one is watching, the other person completely lets go.

There is also a kind of certainty that the other party is sure that he cannot do anything to the other party even if he is unhappy.

"Aren't you afraid that he will die in my hands?" Li Jingsheng said.

The head of Fangcao Pavilion smiled faintly and said, "He has a magic weapon in his hand, which can be used to help kill Shen Zhong and can also be used to protect himself."

Li Jingsheng said: "A weapon that kills people will only hurt others and yourself even if it protects yourself."

The head of Fangcao Pavilion smiled but said nothing.

Li Jingsheng's eyes flashed with ferocity.

The head of Fangcao Pavilion sensed his murderous intent towards him and was unmoved, and even pointed out the hidden contradiction, "You want to kill me?"

Li Jingsheng's eyelids twitched twice, and he silently pressed the position of the bone ring. It can be said that his confidence now was given by Neiyuan, but at the same time he was on the pirate ship, and he had to deal with Neiyuan.

This fatal situation was all planned by the old fox in front of me.

Li Jingsheng really wanted to take the life of the Master of Fangcao Pavilion to vent his anger once the plan was accomplished. If he failed halfway, he would also drag this old fox to be buried with him.

The head of Fangcao Pavilion looked at him calmly, seeing the murderous intent hidden in the young alchemist's eyes. His vicissitudes and gentle eyes were unfathomable, and it seemed that something hidden deep was surging and boiling.

The head of Fangcao Pavilion suddenly laughed heartily and said, "When our mission is accomplished, I will give my life to you."

Li Jingsheng was stunned. He actually felt that what the Fangcao Pavilion Master said was full of lofty ambitions and came from the heart without any falsehood. He also placed strong hopes on himself.

This kind of heroic spirit and ardent hope were so shocking that Li Jingsheng was speechless for a moment and frowned in silence.

The leader of Fangcao Pavilion lost his composure for only a moment, then he stood up and left. Before leaving, he told Li Jingsheng to stay in this room and not to go out for the time being.

Li Jingsheng knew that he did this for Ban Sance and the others to see, so that they would misunderstand that he was still being punished.

Although Li Jingsheng has a perverse personality, he is not stupid and would not act pretentiously in a situation that would benefit him.

Not long after the head of Fangcao Pavilion left, Lu Fu's voice was heard outside.

Li Jingsheng signaled to the other party to wait outside and not to disturb him unless it was important.

As for what is "important" matter, Lu Fu, who has been with Li Jingsheng for so long, can distinguish them very clearly.

There was no more Master Li's voice coming from the room. Lu Fu waited quietly, her mood completely calmed down.

Recalling the time when Master Li was first locked up by the Pavilion Master, she was frightened. When she boarded the spirit boat and no longer saw Master Li being tried, she did not think like others that Master Li would either die or be skinned alive this time. She inexplicably had a kind of confidence: Master Li would be fine.

Reality proved that her premonition was correct. This was not because of how strong her soul sense was, but because Master Li repeatedly gave her confidence with facts.

The return journey was very quick, and during this period Li Jingsheng did not show up on the spirit boat. Even after returning to Fangcao Pavilion, Ban Sance and others did not see him.

The trial on the case also came to nothing.

Ban Sance did ask the Pavilion Master of Fangcao, but he was dismissed with just a few words, leaving Ban Sance with the wrong impression that Li Jingsheng had been arranged to be punished in the Black Prison.

The Black Prison in Fangcao Pavilion is a more terrifying place than the torture hall. It is a purgatory for people who have committed serious crimes. People who enter there have almost no chance of coming out.

Although Ban Sance still had some doubts, thinking back to Li Jingsheng's fearless appearance in the past and the mysterious magic weapon that could kill Shen Zhong, would he, who was so highly valued by the sect, really be sent to the Black Prison and never be able to turn over a new leaf?

As time passed, this suspicion faded. Li Jingsheng really never appeared again. Not only could he not be seen, but even his name could not be heard. Ban Sance gradually became convinced that Li Jingsheng was really finished.

As Li Jingsheng fell silent, another person rose up in Fangcao Pavilion.

This person was Dansha who had just entered Fangcao Pavilion.

Although Shen Zhong was dead, she did not lose her protection, and everyone in Shen Zhong's faction took good care of her.

It’s not that Dansha is so likable, but because Li Jingsheng is so disliked by Shen Zhong’s faction.

Since Dansha entered the sect, the people of Shenzhong knew that Li Jingsheng was eyeing her. Since they couldn't take revenge on Li Jingsheng directly, they would hinder his wishes and make him unhappy.

If they had intentionally given Dansha all kinds of conveniences and resource diversions in the beginning in order to annoy Li Jingsheng and to take care of the deceased Shen Zhong, then as time went by, Dansha's talent and hard work really conquered everyone in the interrogation hall.
