Chapter 39 Who is the murderer?

"The murderer who cut down the sacred laurel tree still hasn't been caught?"

Jiang Jiu sat in the room, his eyes meeting with Chi Li who had just come over, and he tilted his head to look at him.

"The Punishment Hall is too slow, and Ji Chen didn't even punish them."

Chi Li shook his head, looked at Jiang Jiu with a half-smile in his fox eyes, and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Stop making sarcastic remarks. I heard that the person who secretly cut down the tree is very powerful. Now people have been sent to guard the Marriage Tree."

Jiang Jiu understood the suffering of working people best. After hearing what Ji Chen said, he stood up for the immortals in the Punishment Hall.

"Very strong? Then why did he chop it secretly? Not openly?"

Chi Li scoffed, resting his chin on one hand and speaking with a playful look on his face.

"That's too arrogant. Ji Chen will definitely catch him on the spot."

Jiang Jiu was speechless. Chi Li's definition of "strong" was a bit too high. In her eyes, being able to steal the life force of the Laurel Sacred Tree was something that no ordinary immortal could do.

"I heard they even suspected me. If they knew my true strength, they definitely wouldn't think it was me."

She sighed as she spoke, as a mortal in the Ninth Heaven, she was considered a freak.

"It's Liu Bai, little one. Do you want me to help you teach him a lesson?"

Chi Li raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously having heard what happened at the scene.

"No, no, no, it's not his fault. Ji Chen asked him, and he didn't dare not answer."

Jiang Jiu quickly waved his hands, and his understanding of Chi Li's degree of protection reached a new level.

"Why not? If it were me, I would dare."

Sekirei crossed his arms, stood up from the table and walked to Jiang Jiu, looking down at Jiang Jiu who was sitting on the bed.

"What are you doing...Ji Chen won't come to ask you."

Jiang Jiu was helpless. Chi Li's figure was not actually that thin. Standing in front of her like this, he almost blocked all the light in front of her. She had no choice but to tug at his clothes, signaling him to sit down or get up.

"That's hard to say."

Chi Li suddenly smiled inexplicably, with an inexplicable curve at the corner of his mouth, which made Jiang Jiu look a little strange.

"He won't doubt you, will he?"

Jiang Jiu frowned. No matter how she thought about it, there was no reason for Chi Li to do such a thing. If her master came to ask about it, she couldn't let Ji Chen cause trouble for Chi Li.

“Not yet.”

Chi Li spread his hands, which made Jiang Jiu breathe a sigh of relief.

"You scared me. I thought Master hadn't caught anyone and was indiscriminately attacking you."

Jiang Jiu's words seemed to make Chi Li laugh, and his narrow fox eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was drunk.

"However... almost all those with this ability are in this Xianyu Pavilion. If Ji Chen is not a fool, he will definitely come and ask."

Chi Li leaned down and looked Jiang Jiu in the eye. The deep and complex emotions in his eyes made Jiang Jiu stunned for a moment. After a while, he turned his head awkwardly and cleared his throat.

"Ahem, what are you doing so close to me all of a sudden?"

Chi Li did not show her fox ears and big tail today. Jiang Jiu is not someone who is easily fooled. She is temporarily immune to the beauty trap because she sees many men every day.

"To take a good look at my little thing, of course."

Chi Li's tone was ambiguous, and his warm breath sprayed on Jiang Jiu's neck. He could feel their breaths entangled with each other. The distance was indeed too close.

"...it's clearer from a distance."

Jiang Jiu could see Chi Li's long, straight black eyelashes hanging down to the end of his eyes from the corner of his eye, and the shadows cast by them made his eyes look even more charming and attractive.

"If you want to watch it, you must remember it all carefully, every detail."

The more Chi Li spoke, the more affectionate the atmosphere became, and the seriousness hidden in it was not even noticed by Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu naturally thought he was flirting, and she felt so awkward that she could hardly sit still. In the end, she couldn't help but stand up.

"He won't ask you anyway."

Unexpectedly, just as Jiang Jiu finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and at the same time Ji Chen's cold and indifferent voice was heard.

"The master is back."

Jiang Jiu froze all over, glanced at Chi Li, who was touching his chin with a boneless look, turned around and walked forward quickly, quickly opened the door, and pushed Ji Chen out without letting him see the people in the room.

"Master, why are you back? Have you finished investigating?"

Her tone was a little stiff, there was nothing she could do since Sekirei was in her room right now.

"No, that man is very cunning."

Ji Chen shook his head, his eyes falling on the door of the room behind Jiang Jiu, with a hint of inquiry.

"Master, thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Jiu moved her feet guiltily and blocked the door. Who could understand the feeling of having an affair? She was obviously not wrong.

"The fox smell can't be concealed, you can come out now."

Unexpectedly, Ji Chen had already noticed Chi Li was in the room, and he directly exposed Jiang Jiu's cover-up in a light tone.

“…”

Jiang Jiu was filled with embarrassment. God knows how hard she tried not to let Ji Chen find out, but it was in vain.

wrong.....

The difference in strength between them is not that big. If Chi Li wants to hide himself, Ji Chen will not be able to find him at all.

so!

Chi Li must have let Ji Chen find out on purpose.

This realization made Jiang Jiu withdraw on the spot. It turned out that she was the only fool.

"Master Xianzun is still so sharp."

Chi Li calmly pushed the door open and walked out of the room. His purple clothes made his temperament look even more lazy. At first glance, he looked like a playboy. Only Jiang Jiu knew that he was a pure love god of war.

Oh, no, it’s a pure love who likes to play SM, a bit perverted.

"No need to be polite, I just happened to be looking for you."

Ji Chen's straightforwardness was frightening. Jiang Jiu subconsciously thought of the issue she and Chi Li had just discussed, and immediately turned to look at Chi Li.

However, Chi Li had an expression that showed he had expected this. He leaned his slender body against the door and made an "Excuse me" gesture.

"Did you make the sacred laurel tree?"

Ji Chen's eyes suddenly became fierce, and the oppressive feeling of the Immortal Lord came over him, but it only avoided Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu's expression suddenly became very unhappy, and he looked at Ji Chen with an expression of incomprehension.

"Master, how could you doubt him... Why would Chi Li cut down the sacred laurel tree? Is he crazy?"

When Ji Chen heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he looked like he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

He did not hear it out of thin air. After a careful investigation by the people in the Punishment Hall, they found that there were very few powerful targets that could be locked onto. Apart from a few gods, there were only the people living in the pavilion. Although he did not want to believe it, as an immortal, he had to be responsible to the Nine Heavens.

Besides, the gods are subject to the laws of heaven and cannot do anything that harms the Nine Heavens, so the only ones left are the people in the pavilion.

The first person to ask Chi Li was because he was very familiar with the Moon God and was the most suspicious.

Ji Chen never expected that Jiang Jiu would stand on Chi Li's side without any explanation. He was in a very bad mood and looked at Chi Li with an increasingly unfriendly look.
