Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 45
At sunset, the sky is full of sunset.

Jiang Ying winked, and Xiao Lizi at the side understood, and immediately sent the dancers out of the stage.

The moment the palace music stopped abruptly, the guests in Chongjiu Palace suddenly felt a stagnant atmosphere.People sat upright one after another, the expressions on their faces gradually becoming dignified.

The elders of the Jiejiao began to express their opinions on the matter of the leader of the Jiejiao. No matter how eloquent they were, they were nothing more than arguing over the choices of the two leaders of the Jiejiao.

Mu Lingyu had been staring at Su Ji for half an hour, only to see that he drank enough wine, ate enough, picked his teeth, and finished hiccupping, then he slowly raised the cup and said loudly:
"The witty words of the seniors made me enlightened, and I couldn't help but come up with a whimsical idea. I boldly proposed to use the situation of two people to compete to determine the candidate for the interception leader. I wonder what you think?"

When the words fell to the ground, Mo Shu's eyes in the mask suddenly lit up, and his brows lit up with joy, but Jiang Ying's face darkened.The originally bloodless face became paler after listening to Su Ji's speech, and then fell into a brief thought.

Mu Lingyu was sitting on the seat only two steps away from him, staring at his back, feeling that the time was about to ripen.However, Su Ji hadn't lost the title for a long time, which made her feel very strange.

Su Ji stared at Jiang Ying, whose face was as white as a sheet of paper, hesitating about the bronze title in his hand.In fact, he was just talking about the matter just now, and he didn't deliberately target a certain person, but this proposal seemed to mean something to the man in front of him who looked terminally ill...

Just when Su Ji was wondering, Huang Mei chuckled and whispered in his ear:

"The master of the pavilion does not know that Jiang Ying was born with a chronic illness. On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, most of the mysterious energy dissipated, and he was unable to practice advanced methods. In the past, when Shenhou was in power, he asked Mr. Mo for help in order to let his subordinates follow suit. He tried to hide this matter. But since Marquis Shen left the country, the two have been confronting each other. Headmaster Mo has always wanted to find an opportunity to expose him, and he never wanted to be preempted by the proposal just now by the pavilion master, and fall into the hands of Headmaster Mo."

Su Ji suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Jiang Ying would be haggard as if he was about to die. He did not expect that he could not rely on Xuanqing Qi to cultivate like himself.

"Is there a cure for his persistent illness?" Su Ji asked Taoist Huangmei.

Taoist Huangmei thought for a while and said, "There is only one witch doctor named Mu who can cure this stubborn disease. However, Mu's family was wiped out by the enemy many years ago, so Jiang Ying's disease may never be cured again."

After all, Taoist Huangmei closed his eyes slightly with a relieved expression, as if sleeping but not sleeping, as if he was indifferent to himself no matter what happened in the future, making it unpredictable.

Although Su Ji didn't know where he got these gossips, he already guessed that the witch doctor named Mu in his mouth was clearly Mu Lingyu's father, Mu He.If this is the case, then the truth about the massacre of the Mu family may not be what Mu Lingyu imagined.

Although Jiang Ying regarded Quan Rong as an enemy, it would be too far-fetched to say that he deliberately wanted to kill a Quan Rong's witch doctor.What's more, there is only Mu He in the world who can cure Jiang Ying's chronic illness, and Jiang Ying has no reason to put him to death before he recovers.

From this, it can be deduced that the real culprit who destroyed the Mu family must be someone else.

Mu Lingyu put her hand on the hilt of the sword, and watched Su Ji put the wine jue back on the table, and anxious anger surged in her heart.A trace of doubt mixed with anger made her dare not act rashly.

At this time, Mo Shu had stood up from his seat, held up the wine bar, and said loudly:

"The master of the Xuanling Pavilion proposed to turn the parts into a whole, and turn the dispute between two families into a dispute between two people. This old man thinks it is very good, but what do you think?"

"If you want to learn from each other, our eldest son has never been afraid of anyone!"

The one who spoke was Lao Chan with a human face and a cat body. She landed lightly on the wine table and licked the cat's paw eagerly as she spoke.

As soon as the words fell, Yiqu, who had closed his eyes slightly and never said a word, suddenly opened his eyes and said in a passionate tone:
"If you get red-faced and red-faced, it's still nonsense! It should have been settled long ago!"

It was the first time that the elders on Jiang Ying's side had seen the two high priests express their views with such a strong attitude, and each of them couldn't help but ignited their fighting spirit, and the expressions on their faces showed that they would not refuse anyone who came.

"Sir, don't you want to start working with the students today?"

Jiang Ying said, lowered his head and coughed violently.In the eyes of his subordinates, this haggard behavior is not only a sign of a hidden strength, but not a sickness.

However, even through a mask, Mo Shu could see through his fierce nature, raised his glass and said:
"Today's gathering of teachers and feasts, how can we spoil everyone's interest? The old man suggested that the duel be set on the eighth day of the next lunar month, at the ancestral court of Jiejiao, the top of Penglai, outside Biyou Palace. If there is no objection to being listed as the elder, please follow along Father, drink this cup together!"

After all, Mo Shu drank it down in one gulp.Before Su Ji could see clearly how he drank through the mask, he saw that the bartender was empty in the blink of an eye.

Mo Shu held up the Kongjue to show everyone, and scanned the entire palace.On the left, Li Rumei, Su Ji, Taoist Huangmei, and other eleven elders, headed by him, poured wine one after another and drank it all in one gulp.

However, the ten veterans on the right, led by Jiang Ying, such as Lao Chan, Yi Qu, and others, remained motionless.

The old cicada scratched the wine bar anxiously with its paws, making rustling noises; Yiqu's impatient big hand had already clenched the wine glass tightly, and his round eyes were fixed on Jiang Ying;

As long as Jiang Ying remained calm, no one on the left would dare to drink.Even this is meaningless, because 25 of the 13 elders have expressed their approval of Su Ji's proposal.

The difference of only one person, although it cannot directly determine the candidate for the leader of the interception, it can play a final role in this decision, win an opportunity, and become the most critical move in the whole game.

Mo Shu's eyes did not leave Jiang Ying for a moment, just waiting for his final reaction.

At this moment, Chongjiu Palace was surprisingly quiet, as if even the air had frozen.

"Whoosh!"

A ray of white light rushed into the palace gate, falling like a meteor, and landed on Mo Shu's table.

Bai Guang is a silver fox.The light among the fluff is extremely weak, and mottled bloodstains can be faintly seen on the fur, obviously suffering from serious injuries.

When people saw the silver fox appearing suddenly, they all looked at each other with different expressions. All eyes were on Mo Shu who was listening to the silver fox.

Su Ji knew that this silver fox was Hu Jiu who had been injured by Hu Si in the Begonia forest, and it really wasn't dead yet.Although Su Ji couldn't see the expression behind Mo Shu's mask clearly, he could see that he was trying to restrain the astonishment in his heart, and his shoulders were twitching.

Taoist Huang Mei listened to the whispers in the banquet, opened one eye to look at Mo Shu, moved his mouth close to Su Ji, and whispered, "Looking at the head teacher, could it be that something serious happened to the Xuanhu Sect?"

Mo Shu listened to the silver fox's weak murmur, and the two eyeballs exposed on the mask kept turning.The wandering eyes fell on Su Ji from time to time, which made Su Ji feel uneasy.Although he didn't know what the silver fox said to Mo Shu, he could guess it pretty well.

The only thing that can make Mo Shu panic so much now is the destruction of Jingshi Qinglian.

After a long period of silence, Mo Shu tried his best to suppress his emotions, slowly raised his head, and said loudly:
"Since more than half of the elders have agreed to Xuanling Pavilion Master's proposal, then the discussion is finalized. Sorry for the inconvenience of staying for a long time, I will leave first."

After finishing speaking, Mo Shu got up and left the table. Just as he was about to step out of the threshold, he heard an unprecedented gloomy voice behind him:
"Mr. stay!"
