The Great Enlightenment

Chapter 8
Shushi.

The moonlight was dim and the sky was snowing heavily.

"Master, hurry up and come back to the house. It's not an option for you to stand here and wait all the time in this freezing cold weather."

The woman was about thirty years old, wearing a brown-red brocade embroidered skirt with complicated patterns, and carefully put on a gorgeous mink fur for the man standing quietly under the eaves. A little anxious and concerned.

This snow is not Fan Xue.Even if a cultivator accidentally touches some, he may worry about the cold air soaking his body.

The man looked cold and serious, and the frost and snow between his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be thicker than the heavy snow outside the house.

He stretched out his hand to straighten the thick sable fur, but his eyes still didn't change a bit. Through the two main gates opened tens of feet away, he stared motionlessly at the dozens of figures that were densely packed into the distance under the moonlight.

"Master, don't worry too much. Take care of your health." The concern in the woman's eyes did not seem to be fake, "Commander Xu Jianghe will lead people to search for him himself, and he will be able to find Nian'er soon."

"To shut up!"

The man turned his head suddenly, and the cold light in his eyes swept across the woman's fair and pretty face, causing her to shudder and kneel on the ground involuntarily.

"Master, this concubine...the concubine is really worried about Nian'er's safety, master, you..."

Snapped!
The woman was staggered by the sudden slap, and there was a bright red slap mark on the left side of her face, and there was even traces of blood oozing from her pampered face.

"If Nian'er really died in the Qingluan Mountains, I will sweep you and your daughter out of my Ji family's family!"

The man was like a raging lion, bloodshot eyes even appeared in his eyes, it was obvious that he was extremely angry.

"Nian'er is surrounded by more than a dozen Ji family's army guards. How could he disappear in the Qingluan Mountains so silently? It must be you, a poisonous woman, who is unwilling to accept Ji Quexue's mediocrity and wants to do it for her." Seeking the position bestowed on the Ji family by the ancient city of Taichu, that's why they set up such a trap to murder Nian'er!"

The woman knelt down on the ground, covering her face and weeping incessantly. The tears flowed down like broken beads, and even soaked the complicated and gorgeous brocade sleeve gown.

As the continuation of Ji Hong, the head of the Ji family, she has been taking care of her carefully for more than ten years, and she has managed everything in the Ji family in an orderly manner, which has won praise from inside and outside the Ji family.

Although she was very envious of Ji Yuenian's irreplaceable position in the Ji family, she never dared to act recklessly. Yue Nian was also a little cowardly in front of him, and there had never been a situation where the descendants of the patriarch's direct line among the other families in the ancient city of Taichu competed with each other.

Not long ago, Hexuan, who ruled the ancient city of Taichu, handed down the first edict after staying here for more than [-] years. The nineteen ancient cities under his rule recruited disciples to participate in the examination for admission to the Outer Sect of Taiyu Shengzong.

The several cultivation families entrenched in the ancient city of Taichu are all extremely wealthy, and they usually show filial piety to Hexuan Shangzhen. This time, they have each obtained a position where they can enter the Taiyu Sacred Sect and the Outer Sect to practice without examination. , and the position of the Ji family fell on Ji Yuenian, the eldest son of the Ji family without any suspense.

The root of a living being's ability to practice lies in the fire of the heart, and whether the fire of the heart can really be ignited is not only related to the blood, but also related to the cultivation resources acquired the day after tomorrow. worry.

The woman raised her head with tears in her eyes, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.

Although it was not her fault that Ji Yuenian disappeared in the Qingluan Mountains, she knew very clearly that with Ji Hong's character, it was impossible to listen to her explanation. If Ji Yuenian had never been found, then she and Ji Hong Que Xue... I'm afraid she will be kicked out by Ji Hong!
Thinking of this, the woman crawled and knelt down to Ji Hong's feet, tremblingly said: "Master, I really didn't do it, it really wasn't me, Master!"

Ji Hong squatted down, gently supported the woman's trembling shoulders, his eyes were full of indifference: "For a whole day, there was no news of Nian'er, those old immortals from Ji's Parents' Association and Ji's neighbors All the monsters and ghosts of the department jumped out, and Xu Jianghe just now was the one who went looking for the fourth wave. In Ji's family, I only have two bloodline descendants, Nian'er and Ji Quexue, and Ji Quexue is a woman."

After saying this, the woman subconsciously stopped trembling.She wasn't stupid, she was even very smart in some aspects. At this time, as her thoughts flowed, she thought clearly about what happened in an instant, but her complexion became even more ugly.

If the eldest son Ji Yuenian really died in the rumored Qingluan Mountains where demons are rampant, I am afraid that the enormous pressure Ji Hong will face is beyond her imagination.

There are many sidelines within the Ji family, and these sideline forces are intertwined. Although Ji Hong is not only the head of the family, he also holds the position of the second elder of the Ji Family Elders Association, but even he has no way to completely control all the sidelines of the Ji family. Department of power.

"Think about it, if Nian'er disappears completely, who will the position bestowed by Hexuan Shangzhen fall on?"

Ji Hong gradually suppressed the coldness in his eyes, and his tone became much softer.

The woman tremblingly said: "Ji Baiyu, who is only one year younger than Nian'er! It's Ji Luoyan, the great elder! Ji Luoyan must have bribed Nian'er's guards and brought Nian'er into the Qingluan Mountains!"

Ji Hong looked at her silently without saying a word.

"Master, what do you mean," the woman said with a dazed expression, "let me and Que Xue confess to this crime?"

"Ji Luoyan is the Great Elder, and his power within the Ji family is second only to that of the head of my family." Ji Hong remained expressionless, "If I can't find Nian'er at this time, even if I attack him directly, it will be useless." It's very beneficial, but it will make Ji Luoyan seize the opportunity and take the opportunity to bring Ji Baiyu to the table."

The woman was about to cry, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Lian'er, I have wronged you, go out and hide for a while."

Ji Hong's voice reached his ears.

The woman's body trembled slightly, and she froze in place.

Over the years, no matter how well she did and how careful she was, she never received a word of praise from Ji Hong.

But just now, he actually called himself "Lian'er".

"Master, you..."

"Don't worry, after Xu Jianghe returns tomorrow, I will take the opportunity to get angry and vent my anger on you and Ji Quexue, and then secretly send the two of you to a safe place, and then take this opportunity to support the third-party superior, will not Leave any opportunity for Ji Luoyan."

Ji Hong stood up and turned his head, but there was a cold light in his eyes that the woman hadn't noticed.
