Mu Jin, the legitimate daughter of a military family, is a woman who is disdained by her husband and driven out of the house. When she returns, she learns that her husband has taken a new lover. On...
Mu Jin really wanted to kick Su Yi out of the guest room, but she and Nangong Min had gone through many hardships to get here from the capital.
If we could know about Nangong Shenzong's situation earlier, we would undoubtedly have a better chance of defeating Nangong Ce.
Mu Jin reluctantly asked Su Yi, "Why hasn't the person Min is waiting for come tonight?"
“Why do I feel that A-Jin’s attitude towards me is wrong?” Su Yi replied.
Mu Jin suddenly stood up and said coldly, "If you don't want to talk, you don't have to. We will find out the whole story when we arrive at Nangong Shenzong tomorrow."
With that, she grabbed Su Yi by the collar and shoved him forcefully out of the guest room. Su Yi quickly begged for mercy.
"Hey~ hey~ I'm telling you, woman, I know I was wrong, isn't that enough? It's what I want to say, I'm begging Ah Jin to listen."
Hearing Su Yi beg for mercy, Mu Jin finally released his grip.
"But you begged me to listen? Is there a problem with my attitude right now?" Mu Jin asked Su Yi.
Su Yi quickly shook his head and said, "No, absolutely not. It was just that my mouth was itching to say it."
Seeing that Mu Jin's expression improved slightly after hearing his words, Su Yi tugged at his collar, which Mu Jin had wrinkled, and muttered to himself.
"You're so rude to me just because I like you."
"What are you muttering about?" Mu Jin suddenly looked at Su Yi.
Su Yi straightened up and said, "It's nothing. I was just saying that A Jin's martial arts are becoming more and more exquisite. I was almost injured by you just now."
Mu Jin snorted coldly: "Enough nonsense, hurry up and tell me why those people didn't come to meet Min tonight? Has something serious happened to the Nangong Divine Sect?"
"Yes! Something really big has happened to the Nangong Divine Sect recently, a very big thing!"
The matter of Nangong Ce plotting to harm Nangong Min has been controversial within the Nangong Shenzong sect for many years. Some of the elder disciples of Nangong and Nangong Min's grandmother have always harbored doubts, but they have no evidence.
In order to dispel everyone's doubts, Nangong Ce has always shown his determination to find Nangong Min's whereabouts at all costs.
For this reason, he gradually gained the unanimous support of Nangong's grandmother and the elders of Nangong Shenzong, and temporarily assumed the position of sect leader to manage sect affairs until he found Nangong Min.
However, during his tenure as the head of the Nangong Shenzong sect, Nangong Ce used his authority to learn that the sect's library contained ten longevity pills.
This elixir has extraordinary effects. Although it cannot grant immortality, it can detoxify all poisons and cure all diseases in the world.
The longevity pill refined by Nangong Min can not only enhance the internal strength of martial artists, but also make the sick and weak elderly grow black hair and be full of energy.
After taking one pill himself, Nangong Ce's internal strength increased dramatically. He even sold the longevity pill at a high price and secretly began refining pills according to the methods recorded in the book.
No matter how it is developed, although it can make the user feel refreshed in the short term, it cannot last for a long time, which is very different from the longevity pills he had taken before.
Even though the longevity pills he developed had greatly reduced efficacy, Nangong Ce still sent his followers to various parts of the world to teach the wonders of the Nangong Shenzong Longevity Pills, and then auctioned them off to nobles and wealthy people at high prices in auction houses around the world.
These things were discovered after Nangong Min contacted the elders of the Nangong Divine Sect. The elders learned that Nangong Min had been harmed by Nangong Ce and only discovered this when they were besieging Nangong Ce and settling accounts within the sect.
"Does King Yi mean that Grandmother and the elders have already dealt with Nangong Ce?"
Upon hearing Su Yi's words, Nangong Min's heart tightened, and he quickly asked.
Su Yi picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Yes."
"So what should the sect do about Nangong Ce now?" Nangong Min asked again.
"Nangong Min received the news in advance and originally planned a desperate counterattack. However, the old lady was, after all, the former sect leader of the two previous generations. Although she was old, her martial arts foundation was still there. Moreover, with the combined efforts of the elders, Nangong Ce and his followers were all defeated. It's just a pity~"
Su Yi sighed as he finished speaking, and the sigh immediately made Nangong Min's expression tense.
Nangong Min quickly asked, "What's the pity? Did something go wrong?"
Su Yi smiled and said, "It's a pity that Nangong Ce, despite being so badly injured, still managed to escape down the mountain under the cover of his followers."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Min frowned and said, "That's too easy on him."
Su Yi smiled and looked at Mu Jin, saying, "Isn't that right?"
Mu Jin narrowed her eyes, looking at that smugly smiling face, and asked, "When did these things happen? And how did you find out?"
Su Yi said, "It was roughly two days ago. I had just arrived in Immortal Town and only learned about it from my subordinates."
Mu Jin scoffed, "I have a feeling that this matter involving the Nangong Divine Sect is inextricably linked to you."
Su Yi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "How can Ah Jin be so smart? This time, the Nangong Shenzong's killing of Nangong Ce is indeed inextricably linked to me."
"What's the connection?" Mu Jin asked.
After the last plague in the capital, Su Yi had dealt with people from the Nangong Shenzong sect and knew that Nangong Ce was cunning and greedy.
In business, the principle is that money and goods must be exchanged. As long as he pays the money and Nangong Ce provides the prescription, he doesn't care about the other party's character.
However, since Mu Jin and Nangong Min had saved the people of Dongyue that time, he hadn't completed the business deal with Nangong Ce, and he didn't intend to ask for the 100,000 taels of deposit back.
What he didn't expect was that when Nangong Ce's business deal fell through, Nangong Ce actually took his anger out on Mu Jin, sending people to kill Mu Jin several times. How could Su Yi tolerate this?
He originally intended to have Nangong Ce killed, but after thinking about it, he realized that Nangong Min was always by Mu Jin's side and was an eyesore to him, so he directly contacted those in the Nangong Divine Sect who had always opposed Nangong Ce.
