Chapter 372 The Crescent Moon Sect appears inexplicably
As soon as Luluo left, Old Taijun and Shen Zehuan went to find Shen Xinyu.
Shen Zhuoxi was too lazy to watch Shen Xinyu pretend, so he simply returned to Qingfeng Tower.
"Miss." Aunt Ju stepped forward, carefully observed her expression, and said, "You haven't met the eldest lady?"
"We met." Shen Zhuoxi felt a little strange: "What's wrong?"
"The eldest lady came before lunch." Aunt Ju said anxiously: "I sent someone to inquire about it. After arriving, she first went to the Taishi's room to attend to the illness."
"Even lunch was eaten in the Grand Master's room. It wasn't until the afternoon that I went out to meet the old lady. I also met the young master and Princess Dunzhu."
"The old lady was influenced by her filial piety and ordered people to clean up the house where she used to live and let someone stay there. This young lady left the city. Although she did something wrong, we exposed her after all."
"She definitely has bad intentions when she comes back this time. Miss, you have to be careful. She has many tricks up her sleeves, so don't trust her easily."
Shen Zhuoxi nodded, feeling exhausted after running around all day, and said: "She will indeed stay here today. Just ask Yingyue to keep an eye on her and fetch water to wash up. I'll go to bed first."
"I'll definitely have to get up early tomorrow morning."
Seeing that she was really tired, Grandma Ju quickly ordered someone to prepare water without asking any more questions.
Shen Zhuoxi closed his eyes tiredly and recalled everything today.
She always felt that something had been overlooked by them, but for a while, she really didn't know what they had overlooked.
While waiting for hot water, Shen Zhuoxi fell asleep on the couch.
Aunt Ju was about to take a bath. When she saw Shen Zhuoxi sleeping soundly, she sighed with distress and gently covered her with a thin quilt.
When he woke up again, it was already midnight. Shen Zhuoxi felt uncomfortable all over. His clothes clung to his body, giving him a feeling of sweat.
There was still a dim oil lamp burning in the room. Shen Zhuoxi took off the thin quilt on his body and called out: "Huizhi?"
"Miss, are you awake?" Aunt Ju stepped forward and said, "Miss Huizhi hasn't come back yet, Zhuye has also gone out, and the slave is here. What are your orders?"
Shen Zhuoxi was in a daze, glanced at the dark window, and said suspiciously: "It's this hour, Hui Zhi hasn't come back yet?"
After Hui Zhi had dinner, she quietly followed Luluo out. Even if she delayed further, it would be time to come back after a few hours!
Lu Luo and Qi Zhi won't discover anything. Is Hui Zhi in danger?
Shen Zhuoxi suddenly stood up from the couch, her movements were too fast, and her head felt dizzy for a moment. She couldn't care about herself and confirmed: "Hui Zhizhong didn't come back either?"
Aunt Ju was startled by her and nodded: "Yes, you will come back alone at night. I thought that you must have sent Miss Huizhi out to do something, and she didn't ask."
"It's broken." Shen Zhuoxi slapped his thigh and said, "Go and send a signal for Liancheng to come over."
Lian Shao and Liancheng went to Lizhou to investigate the matter of Bai Shixiao and Divine Doctor Valley. Shen Zhuoxi was about to leave for Lizhou. Liancheng just explored the road yesterday and came back to greet Shen Zhuoxi.
Liancheng was a secret guard. He arrived very quickly and did not dare to enter Shen Zhuoxi's boudoir. He knelt outside and said, "The villain, Liancheng, is here. Please give me your instructions, Miss Second."
"Go out and look for Huizhi." Shen Zhuoxi said concisely and concisely: "If it's not the Linyi Inn where Shen Xinyu stayed, it's at Renyi Hall!"
Liancheng didn't ask any more questions, just answered and disappeared into the night.
It looks like it will rain again in the next few days, and the night is like ink that cannot be melted, and nothing can be seen.
After Shen Zhuoxi washed up, she sat in front of the couch and looked at the darkness outside the window, feeling depressed for no reason.
"Miss, don't worry. Miss Huizhi is very agile and will be fine." Aunt Ju cooked a soothing soup and brought it over, comforting her, "You'd better go and have a rest. I'll be back later."
Shen Zhuoxi took the calming soup, but had no appetite to drink it.
She put it aside and looked at the worried Aunt Ju.
Aunt Ju's gray hair has now turned completely white. Although Shen Zhuoxi did not let Aunt Ju do the waiting work anymore, Aunt Ju was still silently worrying about her.
She felt a little sad and said: "Mommy, I'm going to sleep now, you can go and rest too."
"I will keep you here, my servant." Aunt Ju said worriedly, "You have worked very hard these days, although those who have hurt you and the princess have already received their retribution."
"But your tired slave can see it. Your slave is old and it's hard to do anything for you. Let your slave guard you all night, just like before."
Shen Zhuoxi thought of the past, nodded, and said: "Then you go and rest next door. I will call you if anything happens. This is what Hui Zhi does when he sometimes keeps watch at night."
Aunt Ju knew that Shen Zhuoxi had indeed changed a lot after she woke up, so she took some things and went to sleep next door.
Shen Zhuoxi was still sitting in front of the window. He couldn't sleep anyway, so he just took a book and read.
Not long after, Yingyue came and reported in a low voice: "The second young lady ordered the slave to monitor the eldest lady. The slave saw someone sneaking into her yard after midnight."
"That man looked like he had great martial arts skills. If I hadn't been lurking on the banyan tree in the yard, I was afraid that I would be discovered. I didn't dare to get too close. It took about half a cup of tea before the man left."
Shen Zhuoxi woke up completely, put down the book and said, "Did you see what that person looked like?"
"He is dressed in black." Ying Yue paused and said, "There is a scimitar hanging on the waist, and the Crescent Moon mark is clearly visible on the handle. If this slave is not mistaken, that person is a member of the Crescent Moon Cult."
According to Fenfen, wasn't this the one who forced her to poison the well water?
Shen Zhuoxi was stunned, and then said: "What the hell is the Crescent Moon Sect? Why have I never heard of it?"
"The special thing about the Crescent Moon Sect is that the swords they use are as curved as the moon and have no scabbards. They cut iron like mud and will see blood when they take out the swords." Yingyue explained.
"However, the Crescent Moon Sect disappeared more than ten years ago. There are rumors that the wife of the leader of the Crescent Moon Sect died, and the leader dismissed everyone in the sect out of grief. There are also rumors that the Crescent Moon Sect offended someone and the whole sect was bloodbathed. .”
"What's more, it is said that the Crescent Moon Sect was subdued and trained into elite death warriors. No matter what it is, the Crescent Moon Sect has not been seen in the world for many years."
Shen Zhuoxi was a little suspicious: "In this case, how do you judge that the other party is from the Crescent Moon Sect?"
Ying Yue explained: "The Crescent Moon Sect dominated the world more than ten years ago, and I naturally know it. The scimitar has a special shape, and with the crescent moon marks on the handle, it is obviously the symbol of the Crescent Moon Sect."
Shen Zhuoxi paused and said, "Is that person gone?"
"Yes, as soon as I leave, I will come back to report to you." Yingyue tentatively asked: "Shall I continue to follow you, or go back and keep an eye on the eldest lady?"
"Is that man's martial arts better than yours?" Shen Zhuoxi asked.
Yingyue hesitated for a moment and said: "If we really start to fight, I think we can draw a draw, but fighting will attract others, so I don't dare to act rashly."
"Since it can only be a tie, just keep staring at Shen Xinyu."
After Yingyue left, Shen Zhuoxi became more worried.
None of Qi Zhi could figure it out, and yet another Crescent Moon Sect appeared inexplicably!
There are only eight days left before leaving for Lizhou. Can Shen Xinyu really be solved on the eighth day?
