divine talisman

Mrs. Cui, VIP Pavilion.

After Cui Fanghu led Chen Xi and Bei Ling here, he left in a hurry. As one of the high-ranking members of the Cui family, he had to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony.

In the spacious and luxurious hall, only Chen Xi and Bei Ling were left.

Chen Xi held a cup of tea and sipped it silently, but in his mind he was recalling all the details since he entered Cui's mansion.

"I..." On the side, Bei Ling hesitated for a long time, unable to speak.

Ever since entering the VIP Pavilion, this ice-cold woman seemed to have something on her mind. Seeing her like this now, Chen Xi couldn't help smiling and said, "It's just you and me here, so it doesn't matter if we have something to say."

Bei Lingying laughed at herself, and said after a while, "I don't know if I'm too sensitive. I always feel that Qingning changes too fast, which makes me feel very strange."

"She has indeed changed."

Chen Xi nodded and said, "It's right when you think about it. You're only eleven or twelve years old, and you've gone through so many hardships. How could it be like before?"

Bei Ling raised his head, stared at Chen Xi, and suddenly said: "Then do you feel that after entering this Violet City, are we actually the same?"

Chen Xi was startled, and remained silent. This was also the problem he was thinking about just now.

Just before that, Cui Zhenkong, the patriarch of the Cui family, and his group of old antiques appeared, captured the second elder Cui Fangjun in one fell swoop, and simply wiped out Hou Zhan of the thousand-eyed ghost monkey clan. This series of actions made Chen Xi feel like, It seems that all the things that happened before have been seen by these old antiques of the Cui family.

This feeling made him feel a little uncomfortable, so after he entered the VIP Pavilion, he had been thinking silently. At this moment, Bei Ling opened his mouth to explain it, which made him finally understand that his feeling did not seem to be wrong...

"All in all, I have a feeling of being deceived." Belling frowned and pondered for a long time before reaching a conclusion.

Chen Xi raised his eyes to look at Bei Ling, but didn't say much.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the VIP Pavilion. Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a hunched old man with green beard and green beard and hair came pacing.

It was Wen Xiaofeng.

"Two fellow daoists, I'm sorry to bother you." Wen Xiaofeng said with a smile.

Bei Ling was startled, and looked at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi said calmly, "Don't misunderstand, this Elder Wen is different from the Second Elder. If not, the fight between Elder Wen and I might not have been easy."

Wen Xiaofeng laughed and said: "Fellow Daoist is modest, with your strength, even if I don't hold back, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to match."

He was telling the truth, even though it was just a single blow with Chen Xi, the unfathomable power of the other party made him feel a little palpitation.

This kind of feeling, for him, an old monster who was trained by "Bi Xiao Gui Ming Mu", has not appeared for many years.

So when talking to Chen Xi, he also didn't dare to be arrogant, let alone pretend to be a senior.

Seeing this, Bei Ling finally understood that Wen Xiaofeng and Cui Fangjun were not in the same group, and during the previous confrontation, they secretly released water once.

"It turns out that this old guy is also a spy..." In Bei Ling's mind, he seemed to regard Wen Xiaofeng as the same existence as that Hou Zhan.

"Elder Wen doesn't participate in the ancestor worship ceremony?"

After sitting down again, Chen Xi asked.

"The old man is just a guest official, not a member of the Cui clan, so naturally he is not qualified to participate in it."

Wen Xiaofeng shook his head with a smile, and immediately said, "This time, the young lady was able to return safely, and I would like to thank the two fellow Taoists for protecting me all the way. The old man has already been ordered by the old ancestor. If you have any needs, you can ask them as much as possible. Quan regards it as a humble kindness from my Cui family, and I hope you two will accept it."

Chen Xi frowned.

But Bei Ling couldn't hold back anymore, and said coldly, "Could it be that you think we escorted Miss Cui back for something in return?"

From her point of view, the other party seemed to treat all of this as a deal, and when the deal was over, she planned to drive her away, which was chilling.

Wen Xiaofeng seemed to have anticipated this scene, and immediately explained: "This fellow Taoist has misunderstood. This is just our Cui family's wish, just for fear of neglecting the two of you, but there is absolutely no other intention."

Bei Lingdai frowned, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Chen Xi.

"Elder Wen, thank you is unnecessary."

Chen Xi said indifferently, "I just want to know how the Cui family will deal with Cui Fangjun."

Wen Xiaofeng pondered for a moment, a secretive smile appeared on his lips, and said, "Actually, the fate of the Second Elder has already been decided, and when Miss is back, he will naturally be useless."

This sentence was very thought-provoking, but what kind of characters Chen Xi and Bei Ling were, they guessed the meaning of it in an instant, and almost instantly, they felt a chill in their hearts.

What does this sentence mean?

It's very simple, if Cui Qingning is back, then Cui Fangjun must die, because everything Cui Fangjun has done has already been seen by those high-level figures in the Cui family!

"So, to Miss Cui, or to the entire Cui family, the second elder is just a sharpening stone?"

Bei Ling pursed her cherry lips lightly, and spoke slowly, without any emotional fluctuations in her voice.

"It can be understood in this way." Wen Xiaofeng nodded, but he didn't shy away from it.

"In fact, you already know all the hardships that Miss Cui encountered along the way?" Bei Ling's clear eyes couldn't help but narrowed, and outlined a palpitating arc.

Wen Xiaofeng seemed to be unaware, shaking his head and said: "We don't know about this matter, everything is arranged by the ancestor, his intentions are as vast as the universe, how can I guess?"

Bei Ling pursed her lips and said no more, she was worried that if she continued to ask, she would not be able to control the anger in her heart.

"Then, what about the Nether Disk?"

Chen Xi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth to ask, his handsome face was completely quiet, the ancient well was calm, and no one could see what was going on in his heart.

"Fellow Daoist, let me ask you a question, do you think my Cui family has an ancestor, so I can watch the sacred artifacts of the clan being stolen?"

As Wen Xiaofeng said, he couldn't help laughing, "It's a pity that the Second Elder's first name is famous, but it's a pity that he is too scheming. In order to control the Criminal Law Department, he colluded with outsiders to harm the family. They are all under the control of the ancestors."

Seeing that Chen Xi and Bei Ling were both silent, Wen Xiaofeng immediately stopped laughing, and he also faintly sensed that there seemed to be something wrong with their emotions.

They chatted about some irrelevant topics, and seeing that the other party was absent-minded, Wen Xiaofeng immediately got up to leave.

Before leaving, Wen Xiaofeng repeatedly urged that after the ancestor worship ceremony was over, Cui Zhenkong, the patriarch of the Cui clan, would find time to meet Chen Xi and Bei Ling. opportunity.

……

In the VIP Pavilion, only Chen Xi and Bei Ling were left.

The atmosphere was dull.

On Bei Ling's beautiful and fair face, he couldn't help but put on a scowl, "I didn't expect that all of this is a game that has been set up long ago, and we are playing around!"

Chen Xi took a deep breath, laughed at himself, and said, "In comparison, that Second Elder is actually a poor person, who has devoted so much effort to planning so many actions, but has become a whetstone in the hands of that Cui Family Patriarch. So silly, so naive."

Bei Ling was startled, then smiled lightly, with a complicated expression on his face, "Poor? The most pitiful ones are those Cui clan members who died under our hands, and we, why are we not a butcher's knife in the hands of that ancestor? "

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something and said, "Tell me, does Qing Ning know all this?"

Chen Xi was silent for a long time, but finally shook his head, not because he refused to answer, but because he was not sure.

So far, he and Bei Ling have roughly guessed that the various robberies and tribulations that Cui Qingning encountered along the way are actually nothing more than an experience that has long been planned and controlled by others.

The purpose is also very simple, nothing more than to make her transform and grow quickly in this life and death.

And the two of them just happened to be involved in this experience, and they can't blame others.

"The method of the old ancestor of the Cui family can really be called upside down, and he can accomplish multiple things in one fell swoop."

After calming down, Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The ills within the Cui clan must have existed for a long time, so Cui Fangjun is definitely not a good thing, and the ancestor of the Cui family took advantage of this opportunity to use Miss Cui as a pawn to make arrangements."

"This game not only sharpened a future patriarch of the Cui family, but also wiped out those black sheep during this tempering, which is equivalent to helping Miss Cui remove all obstacles to controlling the power of the Cui family."

"The most rare thing is that from the beginning to the end, the ancestor of the Cui family didn't take any action at all. Naturally, it can't be said that he killed his own family members."

After finishing speaking, Chen Xi smiled inexplicably, and said no more.

In the final analysis, he deserved being taken advantage of this time, because from the beginning to the end, he was not invited to participate at all, and he posted it on his own initiative. Who can blame him?

Of course, he can let go of this, and he will not resent the ancestor Cui, but the premise is that he has to confirm one thing.

He wanted to know whether Cui Qingning had known all this long before!

To Chen Xi - this is really important!

Bei Ling was not as magnanimous as Chen Xi, and the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. This feeling of being calculated by others made her feel as uncomfortable as if she wanted to eat a fly.

"Let's go, I don't want to stay here any longer. I don't care about the rare opportunity to meet the ancestors of the Cui family. Maybe they will sell them out." She stood up abruptly and said firmly.

"Alright."

Chen Xi thought about it for a while, and then he agreed that it would not be too late to ask Cui Qingning if all this was true or not when he found Qing Xiuyi and left the Netherworld.

But just as the two walked out of the VIP Pavilion, they saw an unexpected acquaintance walking towards them.

"Brother Chen Xi, Miss Bei Ling, I know you are surprised, but after you meet the ancestor, you will naturally know everything."

Seeing the two people walking out of the VIP Pavilion, the man was startled, then said apologetically with his hands folded.

His figure was thin and his face was cold and rigid. He was clearly Gu Tian, ​​the leader of the guards that Chen Xi believed had already suffered an accident!
