I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 214 Morality lies only on the edge of the sword

Hearing this, Liu Qi couldn't help but look at Chu Xingbai. The last time he was in Li'an Mansion, when the Crouching Tiger Master saw Chu Xingbai, he instantly looked like he was going to fight or kill him.

I thought it was Crouching Tiger's old nose with a bad temper and eager to get rid of harm to the people.

Now it seems that there is something hidden in this!
Sang Manman, who was holding her son and coaxing her, looked angrily at Chu Xingbai, who was scratching his head, and said quietly: "It seems that you beat up a lot of old lovers in the Central Plains!"

"Manman, you have to believe me, I really have nothing to do with that Huang Li Zhenren!" Chu Xingbai went crazy and wished he could swear on the spot.

However, whether it was Sang Manman or Mu Shi, the solemn look in his eyes revealed two words, don't believe it!

Master Mu Shi quickly glanced at Liu Qi's position out of the corner of his eye, then removed the solemn expression on his face, glanced meaningfully at Chu Xingbai, and said in a deep voice: "Chu Xingbai, let's not worry about junior sister's situation first. Private matters, just for the crimes you have committed over the years, even if you are cut into pieces, it is not an exaggeration!"

"Old Niubi, do you Qingcheng sect only practice martial arts and don't have brains?" Chu Xingbai rolled his eyes, "I told you, Uncle Chu has been in southern Xinjiang for more than ten years, how could you commit crimes in the Central Plains? !”

"Besides, I am a mighty thief, how can I be the kind of shameless person who steals fragrances and jade!"

Sang Manman, who had been glaring coldly at Chu Xingbai, now defended him: "This Taoist priest, Chu Xingbai has been staying in our tribe for the past twelve years and has never set foot in the Central Plains."

I thought that he had been a sparring partner on the ship for several days and had been beaten and vomited blood several times. However, in the eyes of this woman, he didn't even have a trace of friendship.

"Xiao Liu Qi, I can't control other people, but Chu Xiaopang is so cute, don't let this old cow nose kill you." Zhou Mi's soft and melodious voice also reached everyone's ears.

……

"Humph, you still have some brains." Chu Xingbai said angrily, while secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Just as he was watching the excitement, he noticed that Master Mu Shi was looking at him, and the slightly curved corners of his mouth straightened instantly.

Master Mu Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the gleam in the slits of his eyes suddenly appeared: "I will find a way to verify it. I hope it is true as Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu said, these murders were framed by people with ulterior motives. !”

"No need to beat around the bush." ​​Liu Qi said bluntly in a cold voice, "You just want to ask me about my relationship with him."

Thinking of this, Chu Xingbai couldn't help but look at Liu Qi with resentment.

Zhou Mi walked to Liu Qi, reached out and pulled her arm, and said softly: "Since it's hard to refuse such kindness, it's better to listen to sister Ying'er. It's not too late to leave after eating here."

Liu Qihuan folded his hands and replied calmly: "Me? What advice can I have? Wouldn't you yourselves check whether Chu Xingbai did those things?"

A graceful and luxurious woman was instructing her servants to tidy up the attic, placing dishes and chopsticks on the table one by one.

Liu Qi curled her lips in disdain. That was purely because Crouching Tiger was not dead. If he had died in her hands like Qiao Wulang from the Beggar Clan, let’s see if you are still so calm now.

"Miss Liu, are you done with the matter?" Master Mu Shi retracted his hands into his wide cuffs, and then asked Liu Qi with a smile.

Liu Qi nodded slightly.

Cruel?
At that time, Qiao Wulang's move was his killing move. If he was not as skilled as others and died, wouldn't he also die?

"You!" Chu Xingbai stared at Liu Qi, too angry to speak.

Upon hearing this, Master Mu Shi frowned slightly and stared at Chu Xingbai for a long time. Then he slowly moved his gaze towards Liu Qi who was standing aside.

At this moment, Shen Congxiao suddenly came in a hurry and said that the food and wine were ready, and he would like to invite you to have a meal in the house.

"If that's the case, there's no need to bother, we can start now!"

If it weren't for Liu Qi's powerful methods, Chu Xingbai would have yelled out on the spot, but now he could only curse in his heart.

The banquet was held in an elegant and quiet attic in the backyard garden.

So he greeted Zhou Mi and prepared to leave.

"Sister Liu." Shen Ying, who came with Shen Congxiao, bit her lip and thought about it again and again, and stood up to persuade her, "It's better to have a meal before leaving."

Master Mu Shi's smile never diminished: "What Pindao means is that Chu Xingbai walked with the girl along the way, so you know more about him than Pindao."

Going further, Qiao Wulang's brother attacked him in a wine shop. If he didn't know martial arts and was humiliated by him, wouldn't Qiao Wulang still be able to kill his relatives out of justice?
Just because he is a disciple of the Beggar Clan and has a crazy master, Liu Qi won't kill him?

Liu Qi glanced at Chu Xingbai indifferently, and then continued: "It's just an accidental encounter on the road, just happened to be on the way. Master Mu Shi doesn't need to take Liu Qi into consideration. If you want to take action, just take action."

When Master Mu Shi saw signs of true energy flowing on Liu Qi's body, his eyes couldn't help but froze, and then he shook his head and said: "Miss Liu misunderstood, Crouching Tiger's defeat in the hands of the girl was purely due to inferior skills, Qingcheng Sect has not done this yet." Such a situation.”

Master Mu Shi also extended an invitation: "Miss Liu, if there is nothing important, why not give Head Shen some face and stay for a few drinks?"

Morality in the world only lies at the edge of the sword!
Liu Qi's expression instantly turned pale, and she no longer had the interest to continue talking to Master Mu Shi.

Chu Xingbai and Sang Manman's faces froze almost at the same time.

Master Mu Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he laughed and said: "This girl is joking. Is this a poor man who kills innocent people indiscriminately? As for the case involving Mr. Chu..."

Huh, what an idiot!

As she spoke, she glanced at Chu Xingbai coldly, and then said: "It's normal to say that he shows mercy, but it would be a bit unfair to insist that he was responsible for all those murders!"

Liu Qi turned around and saw Shen Ying with an expectant face. Then she thought that Jiuzhuan Qingxin Dan was not in a hurry anyway, so she nodded and agreed.

This old Niubi's skills are simply terrifying. If he really attacked on the spot, he and Manman would definitely be in trouble today...

Liu Qi raised his eyes and asked coldly: "Master Mu Shi is so concerned about Liu Qi's whereabouts. Could it be that he is planning to wait for an opportunity to ambush on the road to avenge his junior brother's shame?"

Master Mu Shi stretched out his hand to stroke his long beard, and then said slowly: "Miss Liu is indeed too ruthless. As Qiao Wulang is the disciple of Madman Cheng, I think... there is no room for change in this matter."

Upon seeing this, Master Mu Shi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Now that the matter has been settled, I wonder where Miss Liu plans to go next?"

Liu Qi turned to look at him indifferently: "Why, are we friends?"

Master Mu Shi chuckled and said, "Miss Liu, you heard what Mrs. Chu just said. I wonder if you have any wise ideas?"

Master Mu Shi seemed to see the disdain in Liu Qi's eyes, and then said with a smile: "Qiao Wulang was a successful young man, and he was indeed a bit domineering on weekdays. I have heard some rumors about his death."

While the woman was busy, two young men dressed in brocade and satin walked into the door behind her.

"Mom, I heard that my second uncle's daughter is back?" one of them asked impatiently as soon as he stepped through the door.

"That's right!" the woman sighed with a complex expression, "He's in the front yard now!"

"What about grandpa?" The person who spoke was still the young master just now, "He didn't come back with Shen Ying?"

The woman gouged out her son and said, "How do I know? It's not like you don't know your father's temper. Who in the family dares to mention your grandfather in front of him?"

The woman is Shen Congxiao's wife, Shen Zhuang's eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zheng.

"I heard people say that your grandfather asked a woman to send it back." Mrs. Zheng said impatiently, "Your father just sent someone to the basement, and it seemed that he was giving a thank-you gift to the candidate." Standing there. The young master in front of Zheng was instantly surprised and said, "You still want to go to the basement to pick out a thank you gift?"

Mrs. Zheng nodded angrily: "I don't know what kind of good treasure I gave you. Even on your uncle's wedding day, your father didn't take out a gift from the basement!"

The young master was even more aggrieved and said: "Good uncle, I have grown up so big, but I have never even been to the basement!"

"It's not like you're not living up to your expectations, you've been fooling around all day long!" Madam Zheng scolded with hatred, "If the Shen family is really handed over to us, they will be defeated sooner or later!"

Seeing her son's mouth closed and silent, Mrs. Zheng could only sigh. Who told her she only had such a son?

"Where's your grandpa? Didn't he ask you to invite the two of them here?"

"They said they'd be here in a minute."

The young master who spoke was named Shen Que, the eldest son of Shen Congxiao and the Zheng family.

The person who entered the house with Shen Que and had been standing silently behind Shen Que since he entered was Shen Que's half-brother, Shen Zhou.

While he was talking, Shen Que suddenly saw a maid come in carrying an exquisite wine bottle and put it on the table.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out to pick up the wine bottle on the table.

pat!

Before his hand touched the wine bottle, he received a heavy blow from Mr. Zheng.

Shen Que touched the back of his hand and said helplessly: "Isn't he just an elder of the Qingcheng Sect? It's as if the head of the Qingcheng Sect came in person, and he even asked his grandparents to take the trouble to accompany him!"

"Woo-"

As a result, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zheng covered his mouth.

After Shen Que finally broke free, he heard Mrs. Zheng scolding in his ear: "You really don't know how high the sky is, and you are still just an elder. That is the elder of the Qingcheng sect and the senior brother of Head Jiang. You are not even born yet." By that time, he was already a famous master in the world! ”

"Even the heads of various sects must bow respectfully and call him Master Mu Shi when they see him!"

"If you are not related to our family, let alone your grandpa and grandma, even if your grandpa's master is still alive, he has no right to sit at the same table with them!"

"I know, I know." Shen Que felt impatient after hearing this, so he turned around and ran away, "I'll go and urge grandpa and the others."

Shen Que couldn't wait to leave, exposing Shen Zhou standing behind him in front of Zheng.

Shen Zhou nodded slightly and saluted Zheng with an embarrassed look on his face, but when he saw Zheng's face turned cold for a moment, he quickly lowered his head, then turned around and chased after Shen Que. As soon as he walked out of the door, a bitter look appeared on his face. expression.

As a result, he lost his focus for a moment and bumped into a servant who was coming in a hurry at the corner.

The servant stood up quickly, holding his shoulders. Then when he saw that the person he bumped into was Shen Zhou, he quickly stepped forward to help him up, apologizing profusely.

"Second Young Master, you are all blind!"

"Are you okay?"

Shen Zhou glanced at this servant and recognized that he was the servant serving his father. Then he shook his head: "I'm fine. You are in such a hurry, but what's the important matter?"

The servant immediately replied: "The master asked me to come over quickly and tell the lady that the distinguished guests have already arrived towards the backyard, so let the lady prepare quickly!"

Shen Zhou smiled when he heard this: "Isn't there only one Master Mu Shi? Why do we still use 'distinguished guests'?"

"Oh, the second young master doesn't know something. The woman who sent Miss Ying'er back is also an honored guest!" the servant explained hurriedly.

"Second Young Master, if nothing happens to you, then I..."

"Go, Madam is in the room!"

"Thank you, Second Young Master!"

Shen Zhou looked back at the servants who hurriedly entered the room, then smiled and shook his head, went straight down the stairs, and left the attic.

……

Liu Qi and Mu Shi were walking side by side. Shen Congxiao, who was walking in front of them, was introducing the layout of the backyard to them.

The backyard of the Shen family is very large. Liu Qi estimated that the area they just saw along the way is about the same size as the Liu Mansion in the capital.

If you add in the already very spacious front yard, it is probably almost the same as the general in the capital.

A complete violation!

However, unlike the backyards of ordinary wealthy families, most of the Shen family's backyards are planted with various precious medicinal materials, and there are even several elixirs.

Even the well-informed Master Mu Shi couldn't help but sigh when he saw the elixir planted in the backyard by the Shen family: "The Shen family's accomplishments in elixirs have reached the pinnacle!"

Hearing this, Shen Congxiao smiled humbly and said: "Master Mu Shi has given me the award. The Shen family is just a group of cooks at best. No matter how good their cooking skills are, without the best ingredients, the dishes they cook will be indescribable."

As he was talking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Liu Qi squatting next to a magical medicine plant.

"Miss Liu, this is the dragon's blood grass cultivated by the Shen family. Although its medicinal effect is not as good as that of Tiantian Chang, it can barely reach the threshold of a magical medicine."

He was introducing it proudly, when he suddenly saw Liu Qi reaching out and breaking off the dragon blood grass!
"Hey!" Shen Congxiao suddenly stared and exclaimed.

Liu Qi stood up and threw the lifeless dragon's blood grass on the ground. Then he turned to Shen Congxiao and spread his hands with an innocent look on his face: "I'm sorry, Master Shen. I didn't expect this dragon's blood grass to be so fragile." ”

Shen Congxiao gritted his teeth: "Nothing happened, it's all because Shen didn't warn me in advance."

Fragile?

That's dragon blood grass!

Even an adult would have to use some force to break it off!
After Yue Ya absorbed the weak spiritual energy, Liu Qi returned to Mu Shi Zhenren with a straight face.

Master Mu Shi immediately joked: "It seems that Miss Liu is very interested in elixirs?"

Seeing that Liu Qi didn't answer, Master Mu Shi continued with a smile: "Although the elixir is good, it is still just a foreign object. If you take too much, you may be able to improve a lot in a short time, but in the long run, it will make you worse." Breaking through the bottleneck becomes more difficult.”

Liu Qi's ears were already numb from hearing such rhetoric.

Her focus now is solely on that magical medicine.

It's a pity that what the Shen family cultivates is completely different from the real elixir. The energy brought by the dragon's blood grass just now is probably not as much as one percent of that of a Peiyuan Pill.
