Today I just want to post with the little junior sister who is passing by.

Chapter 175 Hiding the Knife
"Search layer by layer?" Song Ping said what he wanted to say calmly.

"We can search layer by layer, but do we have to act separately?" Jiang Qiao was about to propose this idea, but he rejected it halfway through his words.

Ouyang Yu seemed very calm since entering the Demon Sect's prison. As the right protector, this was his first time in such a place. He was also afraid that he would not be able to find Jiang Zhaoxue and would miss the best opportunity.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhaoxue had already sent me a signal.

Ouyang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and replied in a low voice: "Now we have it. The sect leader has sent us a message and told us where it is. It's just in time."

Jiang Qiao was listening to Ouyang Yu carefully, but when he turned around, he suddenly found that Mu Chenyuan was gone.

???

Before, she had been following me carefully, but now she suddenly disappeared.

He told Ouyang Yu about this, and Ouyang Yu looked very calm: "Maybe she got lost. It doesn't matter. Let's find Jiang Zhaoxue first."

"I want to leave the team midway and go find Mu Chenyuan." Jiang Qiao had a bad feeling. When he first entered the prison, Mu Chenyuan followed him closely. Even if she suddenly wanted to go somewhere else, she should have told Jiang Qiao.

Suddenly disappearing without a trace makes people panic and uneasy.

"She will be fine now. We should take care of our own safety..." Ouyang Yu had only said half of his words when Jiang Qiao had already run away.

Song Ping was also furious. "If he leaves us and acts on his own, will it ruin our plan?"

"It's okay, let him go. After all, Mu Chenyuan is also an important part of the future."

……

When Mu Chenyuan woke up, her mouth had been covered and she could not utter a word. Just now, she seemed to have been knocked unconscious by some drug. When she finally woke up, the person in front of her was her brother, Mu Chenshui.

"Brother!" Mu Chenyuan shouted excitedly, hugged his brother into his arms, and then said: "Why did you come here to see me?"

Mu Chenshui wanted to say something but hesitated. He should not hide anything from his sister, but the knife in his hand...

He held the knife tightly, temporarily hiding it in his sleeve, with a hint of smile on his face.

"Chen Yuan, my sister is feeling better now. There's no need to look for that Jiang Zhaoxue. How about we go home?"

When Mu Chenyuan heard that her sister was feeling better, she immediately smiled and said, "Is this true?"

"Ah."

"Then I'm going to take Jiang Qiao back with me."

Mu Chenshui was very surprised after hearing Mu Chenyuan talk about Jiang Qiao, "What, this guy is here too, isn't he..."

"He's here too. Oh, brother, if you want to talk to me alone, why did you cover my mouth secretly and send me away? Why can't you just speak openly?"

After hearing this, Mu Chenshui felt like a candle about to go out. "I, I just want to talk to you alone."

"But now is a critical moment..."

"No! I just want to talk to you."

Mu Chenshui didn't want to drag it on any longer. He should be decisive, and he should also... Jiang Qiao ran all the way, looking for Mu Chenyuan's trace, and finally found him in a remote corner.

But as soon as he saw Mu Chenshui, Jiang Qiao immediately became alert. After all, in the dream, Mu Chenshui wanted to harm Mu Chenyuan.

Jiang Qiao immediately grabbed Mu Chenyuan's hand and distanced himself from Mu Chenshui.

Mu Chenyuan looked at Jiang Qiao in astonishment. She wondered why Jiang Qiao suddenly had a strange hostility towards Mu Chenshui, but Jiang Qiao held her hand tightly.

When Jiang Qiao looked at Mu Chenshui, his eyes were as cold as ice. "You have a knife hidden in your sleeve. I can see it clearly."

Mu Chenshui panicked and the knife fell from his sleeve. At that moment, he thought countless times that if Jiang Qiao hadn't come at this time, he would have definitely taken action.

Fortunately, someone came and made him stop doing such ridiculous things.

"Well, I hid a knife, so what? She must die." Mu Chenshui was too lazy to pretend. He wanted to see whether Jiang Qiao was really trustworthy and how he would protect Mu Chenyuan afterwards.

"Why must I die? Brother, what are you talking about?"

Mu Chenyuan's eyes were a little dazed, his lips and teeth were trembling, and he even took several steps back.

"You have been well protected for so many years, but what do you think made you the goddess of the Demon Sect? Was it your ability, your background, or something else?
"Everything is naturally because of your fate. You are the adopted daughter of the Mu family, not a real Miss Mu in name only. You are a native of the Demon Realm. Only with your blood can you complete the last step of rapid ascension. Do you understand?"

"Ah...what..." Mu Chenyuan seemed to not understand.

"Tomorrow, they will betray you and Jiang Zhaoxue, the leader of the Demon Sect. This way, the reputation of the Demon Sect can be cleared."

Jiang Qiao didn't know what to think for a moment, "What do you mean? The Demon Sect doesn't have any reputation to speak of. Why should we clear it up if there is any?"

"If you want to ask, you have to ask Xiao Liangyue about her careful planning these days. From the beginning, she treated those ordinary cultivators as consumables, so that she could develop a method to quickly ascend. The so-called goddess, that is, the blood of the natives of the Demon Realm, can make the people in the Demon Realm feel at ease."

Mu Chenshui paused, then laughed wildly a few times and told the truth, "Also, the indigenous bloodline is the final ingredient for rapid ascension.

"Everything has been planned out long ago by those in high positions and power. The others are just lambs waiting to be sold. If Xiao Liangyue succeeds, everything in the world of immortal cultivation...

"It will only get weaker and weaker, and from now on, ordinary people will be unable to do anything."

Jiang Qiao said sternly: "You keep talking about these great principles here, but whose camp do you belong to?"

Mu Chenshui seemed to be tired of laughing and slumped on the ground. "Of course I am not a lamb waiting to be sold. I have become one of them. All of us in the Mu family are just prey waiting to be harvested."

“……”Mu Chenyuan stood there, not saying a word.

Jiang Qiao held Mu Chenyuan's shoulders with his hands, and suddenly felt that the shoulders were as stiff as plaster.

"Brother, it's okay. I don't blame you. I have always been like this and deserve to be treated like this."

“Chen Yuan, if it weren’t for me, when you become a tool for those guys to cleanse their sins, everyone’s anger will be transferred to you, and you won’t be able to bear it.”

Jiang Qiao felt the same way as Mu Chenyuan at this time. The feeling of being deserted by everyone, and the feeling of living together for so long only to find out that everything was just a dream, has already made people fall into an irretrievable inferiority complex.

Why, the truth is like this.
