Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 55 Summer Rain
The mastermind behind all this, the leader of the Wangui Sect, was actually a maid of Tingyuxuan?
Chu Wujiang was somewhat surprised when he saw the information sent by his uncle.

Xiao Shouyi and the other man hid in the dark, not daring to look directly at each other, fearing that the other party would discover them, so they did not hear the entire conversation.

But Xiao Shouyi is indeed a person trusted by Chu's father, the boss of the Chamber of Commerce, and he is knowledgeable and experienced.

He immediately cooperated with Coach Lin, and the two used ice to create multiple mirrors. These transparent mirrors, through refraction, allowed them to catch a glimpse of each other's appearance and clothing.

They saw Xia Yu's appearance, and combined with the intelligence accumulated by the Xiao family, they finally confirmed the other party's identity.

This sounds incredible.

Xia Yu is an ordinary maid who serves tea and water in Tingyu Pavilion. Her real identity is actually the Venerable of Wangui Sect.

Not only that, she controls countless ghosts, preparing to train a terrifying ghost king, and then stir up trouble during the Ghost Festival.

【But if you think about it carefully, it makes perfect sense. 】

[First of all, the top leaders of the Wan Gui Sect who dared to plot such a conspiracy are unlikely to be the top leaders of the noble families themselves. The risk is too high and the benefits are too small.]

[Secondly, the other party needs to have intelligence at all times to make various arrangements, and Tingyuxuan is one of the intelligence sources. ]

[In the last incident of the tea-making girl committing suicide, the almost abnormal reaction speed of the Wangui Sect was also explained. ]

[Because there is not only one tea-making maid in Tingyuxuan, the other maid is also from the Wangui Sect! ]

Chu Wujiang finally figured out the whole story.

Huo Wenda and his friend went to Tingyuxuan to drink tea purely on a spur of the moment basis.

The Wangui Sect successfully arranged a master of poison to carry out poisoning, suicide and frame-up in one go. The decision-making speed was too fast.

Now the truth is finally revealed.

There was also that time when Chu Wujiang was in Tingyuxuan and stopped Huo Qiu Shui from using the secret technique because the Venerable was right next to him.

Once she is angered, the consequences will be disastrous.

Maybe the Venerable is hesitating. Once Huo Qiu Shui destroys the corpse, she will kill everyone!
[Impossible, how could Sister Xia Yu be a Venerable! ]

[She is different from this servant. She was born in a poor family and does not know any spiritual arts at all! ]

[What's more, the immortal that I remember is a man of great character and a master of Taoism.]

[So she can’t be a Venerable…]

The Snow Girl could not accept this conclusion and even became incoherent.

Her cold face seemed to collapse and turn into hot magma.

In this world, apart from her mother, the two people closest to her are Yue Yinglou, the boss of Tingyuxuan, and Xia Yu, her colleague who supports each other.

Turns out she was the one who ordered her to die?
How could the Snow Girl accept this?

【Chunlu, calm down. 】

[The Immortal is the Immortal, the Venerable is the Venerable, and the person who brought you into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect is two different people.]

[The Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect wants to hide some of the weak people who practice the "Heavenly Ghost Visualization Method". Isn't Tingyu Pavilion the best place? ]

[The maid was also thin and pale, and lived in a slum.]

If you don't believe it

Chu Wujiang could understand Xue Nu’s excitement, but he believed more in the information collected by his uncle.

The Snow Girl was silent for a moment, and finally forced a smile.

[My Lord, I understand.]

Xia Yu, is it really you?

……

Tingyuxuan, Tea Room
Xia Yu moved closer to Chun Lu and said in an admiring tone:
"Sister Chunlu has a nice scent on her body, and the tea she makes is the best."

"If someone marries my sister, he will be very blessed."

Chunlu struggled a bit uncomfortably and shook her head:

"Where is the blessing? I am just a useless person."

If I were lucky, I wouldn't have been born into such a family and ended up where I am today.

At that time, Chunlu always had a gloomy look on her face and was not suitable to greet guests.

However, Xia Yu, who was in a weaker state, seemed very cheerful:
"My sister is in good health, knows how to make tea, and knows a lot about the tea ceremony."

“How enviable…”

Chunlu interrupted excitedly:
"There's nothing to envy!"

Because her skill of making tea came from her mother's words and deeds. She was not a child from an ordinary family, but the daughter of a wealthy businessman.

This roar made Xia Yu stop talking and look at the other party in a daze.

Chunlu whispered:
"Sorry……"

A cheerful smile bloomed on Xia Yu's pale face:

"It's okay, I understand."

"After all, many of the children who come here are sold."

Chunlu was surprised, her voice was a little hoarse:

"Xia Yu, you too..."

Xia Yu nodded and said:
"Well, but I volunteered and I'm very happy."

voluntary?
Who would be willing to be sold? Especially in a brothel where people are tortured.

Xia Yu said softly:

"Sister Chunlu is from a rich family, but I am not."

Chunlu looked at the thin girl with bright eyes in front of her with surprise.

Xia Yu crossed his arms, stretched lazily, and said with a smile:

"My family is a tenant of the Lu family. We also have two acres of land. We are better off than other tenants."

"But my father was a very soft-hearted man. He didn't want to drown babies, so we had too many children at home and our life was very hard."

"People like me should be put into a barrel and thrown into the river as soon as they are born."

A farming family will give birth to at least seven or eight children. Those who cannot be raised or are unsuitable will be sold or drowned.

Sickly girls like Xia Yu are given priority.

Even though Chunlu was sold to a brothel, she had a wealthy childhood, so she could not imagine Xia Yu's world.

"Why are you still laughing?"

There's nothing to be happy about.

Xia Yu still has a smile on her face:

"Because Sister Yue not only adopted us, but also taught us to read and write. That's really great."

"So Sister Chunlu, please stop feeling useless."

At least more useful than me.

The Snow Girl recalled every moment they had spent together. He was one of the few people she could consider a friend.

But all this turns into nothingness in the face of the truth.

Why is that you?
……

The Snow Girl was struggling in pain, and Chu Wujiang had already started to pull in the net and fish the big ghost from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect ashore.

It is not enough to rely on the Chu family alone.

The gravekeeper is unreliable.

He sent people to invite Marquis Jingping, Earl Shunyi, and Prefect Liu to discuss important matters.

Marquis Jingping [Lu Fang] is tall, with broad shoulders and a big body, and looks like an honest old farmer. In fact, he is wearing heavy armor, has a calm aura, and is as steady as a mountain.

Shunyibo [Huo Lei] was a little hunchbacked, thin, and had wrinkles on his face, but every wrinkle on his face contained thunder, ready to explode.

The moment Chu Wujiang saw the two of them, he immediately realized that they were far superior to him in martial arts and were even close to returning to nature.

As for Magistrate Liu, although he has the demeanor of an expert, his cultivation is the worst among the three.

The four of them nodded to each other without much nonsense.

Chu Wujiang took direct charge of the overall situation and asked the old butler to hand each of the three people a handwritten copy of the intelligence.

"A venerable from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect has arrived and is lurking in Tingyu Pavilion."

"They're still planning to cause trouble during the Obon Festival? They even have the Ghost King?"

"is this real?"

Marquis Jingping looked at the information in his hand with some surprise. The emotions revealed in it did not seem fake.

The Marquis of Shunyi and Prefect Liu fell into silence.

They didn't expect that Chu Wujiang would release such a thunder in the name of the martial arts competition on Ghost Festival.

Chu Wujiang sat in the main seat and stared at everyone.

"It is absolutely true. The Chu family even killed a traitor."

"There's no need for Chu to joke about this."

"The situation is urgent. Should we ask the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to take action, or should we handle it ourselves?"

Shunyi Bo immediately responded:

"We can't delay this any longer."

"The Huo family is willing to take action on their own to avenge Wenda."

Jingping Hou also promised:

"The Ten Thousand Ghost Sect has raised a Ghost King, and we have no choice but to help. The Lu family will also do its utmost to help."

Prefect Liu fell into deep thought. After the two men expressed their opinions and everyone looked at him, he slowly spoke:
"Don't worry, everyone. The Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect is causing trouble. I have already asked the governor for help, and they will arrive tonight."

"It's just that I still have a small problem to solve."

what is the problem.

"Whose responsibility is this?"

Once the Ghost King is defeated, everyone will naturally share the credit.

That's not the most important thing.

If someone shares the credit, someone must take responsibility.

The three of them looked at each other and shouted in unison:
"This matter requires long-term consideration."

Who should be put on the blame?
