Chapter 8 Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha

Guard time.

The moon was dim, and the sky was snowing heavily.

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

The woman was about thirty years old, wearing a brown and red brocade embroidered skirt with intricate 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 of it, he may have the worry of cold air soaking his body.

The man looked cold and solemn, and the frost and snow between his eyebrows seemed to be heavier than the goose feather snow outside the house.

He stretched out his hand to straighten the thick sable fur, but his eyes remained the same. Through the two main gates that opened dozens of feet away, he stared motionlessly at the dozens of silhouettes that were densely disappearing under the moonlight.

"Master, don't worry too much, take care of your body first," the woman's concern didn't seem to be fake, "Commander Xu Jianghe will lead people to find it in person, and he will be able to find Nian'er soon."

"To shut up!"

The man turned his head suddenly, the cold light in his eyes swept across the fair and pretty face of the woman, causing her to shudder violently, and involuntarily knelt directly on the ground.

"Master, concubine... I'm really worried about Nian'er's safety, master, you..."

Snapped!

The woman was stunned by this sudden slap, and there was a bright red slap print on her left face, and even a trace of blood was oozing out of her normally pampered face.

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

The man was like a raging lion, and even a little bloodshot appeared in his eyes, obviously he was extremely angry.

"Nian'er has more than a dozen Ji family's military guards by his side, how could he disappear so silently in the Qingluan Mountains? Seeking the position given to the Ji family by the ancient city of Taichu, that's why I set such a trap to murder Nian'er!"

The woman knelt on the ground, covered her face and sobbed, tears streaming down like beads with broken threads, and even soaked the complicated and gorgeous brocade sleeves.

As the main house of Ji Hong, the head of the Ji family, she has been serving her carefully for more than ten years, and she has managed everything in the Ji family in an orderly manner, which has been praised by both inside and outside the Ji family.

Although she is very envious of Ji Yuenian's irreplaceable position in Ji's family, she never dares to act rashly, even Ji Quexue, the daughter of Ji's family who was born to Ji Hong, is in Ji's family. Yue Nian is also a little cowardly in front of him, and there has never been a situation where the direct descendants of the patriarchs of the remaining families in the ancient city of Taichu compete with each other.

Not long ago, Hexuan Shangzhen, who was in charge of the ancient city of Taichu, passed down the first edict after he was stationed here for more than 30 years. The nineteen ancient cities under his rule recruited disciples to participate in the examination of the Taiyu Shengzong Waizong.

The several cultivating families entrenched in the ancient city of Taichu are extremely wealthy, and they are usually very filial to Hexuan Shangzhen. , and the position of the Ji family fell on Ji Yuenian, the eldest son of the Ji family, without any suspense.

Whether a soul can cultivate or not depends on the heart fire, and whether the heart fire can really ignite is not only related to the blood, but also to the cultivation resources acquired the day after tomorrow. Therefore, the descendants of the cultivated family have almost never been able to ignite the heart fire. worry.

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

Although Ji Yuenian was not heard from in the Qingluan Mountains, she knew very well that it was impossible for her to explain Ji Hong's character. If Ji Yuenian was not found, then she and Ji Que Xue... I'm afraid that Ji Hong will really be swept out of the house!

Thinking of this, the woman even climbed and knelt down to Ji Hong's feet, and said in a trembling voice, "Master, I really didn't do it, it's really not me, Master!"

Ji Hong squatted down and lightly supported the woman's trembling shoulders, his eyes were full of indifference: "For a whole day, there is no news of the age, and those from the Ji Family Elders Association are immortal and beside Ji's family. All the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods of the department jumped out, and Xu Jianghe, who was just before, was already the fourth wave to look for. I only have two blood descendants in the Ji family, Nian'er and Ji Quexue, and Ji Quexue is a woman. "

After saying this, the woman subconsciously stopped trembling. She is not stupid, and she is even very smart in some aspects. At this time, under the flow of her thoughts, she can figure out what is going on in an instant, but her complexion is even more difficult to look at.

If the eldest son Ji Yuenian really died in the rumored Qingluan Mountains where demons were rampant, I'm afraid the huge pressure Ji Hong was facing was beyond her imagination.

There are many collaterals in the Ji family, and these collateral forces are intertwined. Although Ji Hong is the patriarch and the second elder of the Ji Family Elders Association, even he has no way to fully control all the Ji family's collaterals. Department forces.

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

Ji Hong gradually took away the coldness in his eyes, and his tone was much softer.

The woman said in a trembling voice, "Ji Baiyu, who is only one year younger than her! It's the great elder, Ji Luoyan! It must be Ji Luoyan who bribed the guards around Nian'er 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 looked a little dazed, "let me and Que Xue admit this crime?"

"Ji Luoyan is the Great Elder, and the power within the Ji family is second only to that of my family master," Ji Hong remained expressionless, "If I can't find Nian'er at this time, even if I attack him directly, there will be no problem. It's very beneficial, but it will let Ji Luoyan seize the handle and take the opportunity to bring Ji Baiyu to the table."

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

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

Ji Hong's voice came to his ears.

The woman's body trembled slightly, but she was stunned in place.

Over the years, no matter how well and carefully she has done, she has never received a single compliment from Ji Hong.

And 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 take out my anger at you and Ji Quexue, and then secretly send you two to a safe place, and then take this opportunity to support the top three, no Leave any opportunity for Ji Luoyan."

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