conspiracy

Of course Changxia ignored Xie Fengxue's sarcasm.

She had just played in the water and got some mud spots on her skirt, so she went to Li Bai's house to change her clothes before getting ready to go out.

When Xie Fengxue saw this, he started to sneer again.

Changxia was annoyed by what he heard, so he used his Qi to sprinkle a handful of mud on him, and his green clothes instantly became unsightly.

"If you don't change your clothes today, I won't change either."

Xie Fengxue raised an eyebrow, "Is it a deal?"

Changxia said with a cold face: "It's a deal." Then he changed back into the clothes he had just worn and walked out with an expressionless face.

As soon as she reached the door, Changxia removed the illusion on her body, revealing the clean skirt.

Who would be stupid enough to listen to Xie Fengxue?

Shen Siyan and Changxia did not meet at the Privy Council, but at his own courtyard.

There's not much difference though.

After all, in order to facilitate work, Shen Siyan had already packed up his house and moved it into a cave in the Privy Council. Chang Xia was amazed when she helped him move. She could never understand why someone would like to work so much.

Changxia has the permission to enter Shen Siyan's yard and can come and go as he pleases.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Shen Siyan setting up a table in the courtyard, setting out a teapot and cups, and sitting opposite him was a very young stranger.

From where she was standing, she could only see one side of the man. He was wearing a tall hat and wide sleeves, and had a cheerful temperament.

Changxia turned and left as soon as she saw him.

There are star patterns embroidered on the sleeves, he must be a charlatan from Morning Star Mountain.

Shen Siyan uttered an "Ah" and quickly stepped forward to hold her.

"Lingya is different from the other people in Morning Star Mountain."

Chang Xia pried his hand away: "I'm not interested in finding a good bamboo among a bunch of bad ones."

Shen Siyan closed his eyes and said, "He knows your senior brother's secret."

Chang Xia suddenly smiled: "My senior brother has any secrets that you need to tell me?"

Shen Siyan said: "Anyway, just sit down and listen to me."

Changxia folded his arms and didn't take a single step.

Shen Siyan sighed: “Why are you so stubborn.”

Chang Xia suddenly spoke up, "It's about my junior sister, right?"

The Morning Star Mountain disciple who was sitting at the table leisurely sipping tea paused, turned around and said, "Senior Brother Fengxue and Senior Sister Changxia are as close as the rumors say."

"My senior brother didn't tell me anything. He didn't want me to get involved in these things, so I didn't explore them. But you seem to want me to investigate."

Chang Xia sneered, "Hasn't Sixth Junior Sister's incident been enough? You're here again. It seems like you, Morning Star Mountain, have malicious intentions towards our disciples from Cangfeng Mountain."

Duan Lingya didn't show the slightest bit of anger at being mocked after hearing her words. Instead, he said apologetically, "Regarding Senior Sister Lingyao, it was Senior Brother Youfang who was wrong. There are also complaints within Morning Star Mountain about this. I am different from Senior Brother."

He then said seriously, "This time, asking Senior Brother Chen to be the middleman is my personal behavior and has nothing to do with the sect."

Duan Lingya paused deliberately, but saw Changxia continuing to look at him with a half-smile, and did not respond.

He had no choice but to continue, "This past half decade, I was on duty guarding the star map. On the day Junior Sister Li Bai entered the mountain, the main star of Yunting suddenly moved half an inch, but then returned to normal in the blink of an eye. Because the scene was so bizarre, I worried it was an illusion caused by my lack of consciousness after being on duty for so many days. I didn't dare to report it to the mountain master rashly, so I took the initiative to check Junior Sister Li Bai's birth date..."

Changxia still didn't respond.

"On Junior Sister's birthday, the stars of the twenty-eight mansions in the three cities all shifted three quarters of an hour from their original positions. But it seems someone has erased this information, leaving only a brief record in the local records." Duan Lingya hesitated, "Senior Sister Changxia, I'm insignificant and powerless, so I can't find anything useful. But Junior Sister Li Bai's situation is special. After all, Morning Star Mountain knows more about astrology and destiny."

"What does this have to do with my senior brother?" Chang Xia said softly, "She is our junior sister, yes, but she is just a junior sister, isn't she?"

Duan Lingya was speechless for a moment.

If these sentimental disciples of Morning Star Mountain had said this, it wouldn't have been wrong. After all, he was the 38th in the sect, and only 14 of his senior brothers and sisters were still alive. No one could explain what had happened.

But Zangfeng Mountain is different!

Zangfengshan is well-known for protecting its own people, such as Zhu Lingyao mentioned just now.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Changxia secretly, and immediately lowered his head when he met the latter's gaze.

He was a little afraid of Changxia. After all, this senior sister had really killed her way through Morning Star Mountain with a sword.

Three elders died in that battle. If the mountain master had not intervened in the end, giving both sides the opportunity to sit down and negotiate, who knows how the situation would have ended.

The once-arrogant elder collapsed to the ground, the terror of death still in his eyes. Chang Xia raised his sword and pointed at the star map symbolizing the honor of Morning Star Mountain, but no one dared to step forward to stop him. Duan Lingya had just entered the sect when he experienced this incident, and even thinking about it now filled him with fear.

He pondered for a moment, then organized his words. "The Mountain Master once praised Senior Brother Fengxue for his unparalleled talent in divination. It's no wonder Senior Brother Fengxue couldn't see what I could see. However, the Mountain Master also often teaches us that a good swimmer can drown, so we must constantly reflect on ourselves. I heard that Junior Sister Li Bai is currently being taught by Senior Brother Fengxue, so I came to offer some advice. If I can help Senior Brother retreat from the current, it will be a meritorious deed."

Chang Xia almost understood what he meant when he heard this, so he said impatiently: "So what do you want?"

"If we can hand Junior Sister Li Bai over to Morning Star Mountain..."

"Then let me go up the mountain and kill again"

Chang Xia laughed dumbly, his aura suddenly becoming sinister: "My Caishou is thirsty for blood, little fortune teller, how many people are you going to kill for me?"

After saying that, she turned and left. Shen Siyan was captivated by her aura. When she was almost at the door, he suddenly woke up and ran after her, shouting, "Changxia, I'll see you off!"

After both of them left the courtyard and turned around to a deserted place, Changxia suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand towards Chen Siyan.

"Old rules, I'll take six and you'll take four."

Shen Siyan hummed twice and reluctantly handed her a storage bag.

"I worked so hard to make connections, and when I finally made some money, you took most of it."

Hundreds of years ago, he had noticed that the fortune-tellers of Morning Star Mountain, from Xie Fengxue to Song Libai, seemed to have a special enthusiasm for the people of Cangfeng Mountain. However, because the brothers and sisters of Cangfeng Mountain were all reluctant to go out, and Changxia had always been unfriendly to Morning Star Mountain, he had never been able to find a way to approach them.

At this time, his senior brother, who was on good terms with Changxia and quite popular in the sect, was very helpful.

It was inevitable to charge some hard work fees when doing things for others. Of course, the work had to be done, so he contacted Chang Xia.

Changxia doesn't mind being the bad guy.

But...isn't the information inside Morning Star Mountain circulated? For many years, this drama has been played out time and time again. Anyone who has a conversation with him knows that Shen Siyan is fooling people.

There is still a steady stream of business.

Changxia and Shen Siyan both found it strange.

Chang Xia took it without hesitation, used her spiritual power to sense the spiritual stones inside, and felt quite satisfied, so she threw it into her storage bag. After Shen Siyan finished complaining, she said nonchalantly: "If it weren't for me, a meat bun, fishing in front, those dogs from Morning Star Mountain would come to you one after another to give you money."

Shen Siyan disagreed and said, “Even if you want to call the people of Morning Star Mountain dogs, you shouldn’t call yourself a meat bun.”

Changxia was too lazy to pay attention to him.

After Chang Xia left, Shen Siyan wiped his face and turned into a bitter expression. When he returned to the courtyard, Duan Lingya immediately came to greet him: "Senior Brother Shen..."

Shen Siyan smiled bitterly and said, "Lingya, you are still too anxious. You know Changxia's personality."

Duan Lingya said with guilt, "I've caused trouble for you, Senior Brother." Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "I've let you down this time. I have a piece of snow jade that can help calm the mind. I'll send it to you tomorrow as compensation for all the hard work you've done for me."

Chen Siyan raised his eyebrows. Wow, this junior brother is not only rich, but also quite sensible.

Chang Xia glanced at the time. She had just spent some time reconciling accounts with Shen Siyan, and it was already getting late. She took out her kite and sent a message to Xie Fengxue. But when she learned that he had already ordered dinner, she didn't order again and rushed straight back to the pear blossom courtyard.

When she arrived, the meal was already served. Li Bai was lying on the table next to her, writing something with a pen in her hand. So she nudged Xie Fengxue with her elbow, signaling him to look at Li Bai.

Xie Fengxue glanced at her, especially at her pristine dress, and sneered. But she still explained, "Lunch wasn't cooked by Lao Zhou, it was by his apprentice. It was his first time making it, so he wanted to get some feedback. I'm too lazy to write it, but Li Bai found it quite interesting."

Changxia said "oh", and when she wanted to talk to Xie Fengxue again, the latter ignored her. Then Changxia noticed that Xie Fengxue was still wearing the clothes that she had soiled before she left.

She looked at her dress, and immediately felt guilty and remorseful.

"Master... Senior Brother, are you serious?"

Xie Fengxue said sarcastically, "If I don't change my clothes today, will you change too?"

Chang Xia felt even more guilty and massaged his back and shoulders: "Brother, calm down."

Xie Fengxue snorted coldly: "You charged me a top-grade spirit stone just for a meal."

"No, no, it's just a meal. How can I charge you money, Senior Brother?"

"I don't know what you're doing with Shen Siyan all day long."

“No more mixing, no more mixing, who is Shen Siyan, I don’t know.”

"I didn't know him and I almost couldn't make it back for dinner because of him."

"I will definitely come back to eat every day in the future."

After agreeing to a series of conditions, Xie Fengxue was finally coaxed into laughing by Changxia. Changxia heaved a sigh of relief and called Li Bai over for dinner.

Li Bai carefully placed the written feedback into the envelope before bounding over and handing it to Chang Xia: "Senior Sister, could you please give it to Brother Xiao Su for me?"

Xie Fengxue explained from the side: "Dinner was delivered to us personally by Old Zhou's apprentice, and he had a very happy chat with Li Bai."

Chang Xia laughed and said, "Are you afraid that someone will read your letter?"

Li Bai nodded shyly.

"Then why don't you give it to Brother Xiaosu in person? Senior Sister can take you there."
