Chapter 163 Mu Jieqiu

Fu Xuan has known Mu Jieqiu for more than 30 years.

But if you look closely, their fate actually stems from the extermination of the Ming Dynasty clan fifty years ago.

After jumping into the well and leaving the Bixu River along the waterway, Fu Xuan relied on his miserable appearance, a little money, and his agile ability to dribble a car to pass through several small towns. He was then pulled out of a pile of spiritual herbs by the guards in Yan Town and thrown into Wa Ci Temple.

Li Town is a major checkpoint within the sphere of influence of Ming Li Zong, so entry and exit are strictly controlled. Even though the news of Ming Li Zong's extermination has spread throughout the continent, the mayor has not relaxed the inspection.

The Waci Temple here is also larger than those in other towns, with more people, including about twenty underage children.

Among them, the two who had the closest relationship with Fu Xuan were Feng Dongliang, who had a bad temper and great strength, and Feng Zhixing, who was smart and scheming.

Since he only had three spirit stones and forty-eight spirit essences in his private savings, which were not enough to support him until adulthood, Fu Xuan stayed in the Wa Ci Temple and inquired for news.

Until Leimen came to choose a concubine.

Leimen selected a group of old women at the beginning and middle of the year. It was just one month after Ji Weihang’s birthday, which was the beginning of February.

Every time a sect came to select people, Wa Ci Academy would organize all the children in the academy to participate in the selection. Feng Dongliang's talent was very suitable for Lei Sect, and Feng Zhixing was also selected because of his talent in talismans. When they were about to go to Ping Yao, Fu Xuan expressed that she also wanted to go. With the endorsement of the dean, Lei Sect's mother-in-law took her and sent her to Wa Ci Academy in Ping Yao.

Later, Feng Dongliang and the others were busy with their cultivation and could not go out at will, so they could only send her letters occasionally. After leaving Minglei City a month later, the three of them never met again.

The next news she heard from them was that Mu Jieqiu, a direct disciple of the Lei Clan who was stationed in Minglei City, came to see her on behalf of his junior sister Feng Dongliang.

This is how Fu Xuan and Mu Jieqiu got to know each other.

Mu Jieqiu is a disciple of Leimen. She practices the "Xingyi Zhenglei Fa" and always follows rules and justice in her dealings with others.

The two of them hit it off at first sight.

——When Fu Xuan was stealing a drug dealer’s wallet, he was caught red-handed by Mu Jieqiu.

…

Fu Xuan looked at Mu Jieqiu a few more times.

After she talked with Lao Zhou, the memory that was unclear at first became clear, as if it was just leading her back to the source.

Seeing Mu Jieqiu at this time, she naturally suspected that this was also one of the reasons.

The last time she thought of Mu Jie Qiu was when she and Weihang's sister Ji Chengyuan went to Liuying City to investigate the consequences of players' deaths and game failures in the middle of the game, and discovered that the male player Mu Qiao was Mu Jie Qiu's younger brother.

At that time, Fu Xuan confirmed that "Mu Qiao" was not Mu Qiao.

This is also a very strange coincidence.

How come Mu Qiao is related to Mu Jie Qiu whom she knows?

Fu Xuan stared at Mu Jie Qiu for a long time. The other party seemed to have noticed something and sent out his spiritual sense to search silently. When he didn't notice Fu Xuan, he retracted his spiritual sense and continued chatting with the dean.

But the other women stood up and began to look around. It seemed that Mu Jieqiu still suspected that someone was hiding here.

Fu Xuan had just started learning the shadow footwork and was unable to avoid this meticulous search. She followed the shadows of the furniture around the wall, moved behind the dean, and hid in the shadow of the dean's chair.

These juniors can’t just check under the dean’s chair without proper manners.

Fu Xuan eavesdropped on their conversation.

It turned out that a spy lurking in the demon clan sent news from Yaohua City, saying that Tianbao was being interrogated by his mother Ming Yuyin whether he knew where the emperor's son Jiang Yan had gone.

The Emperor's son is missing, and the Brotherhood causes a scene at the blessing banquet, causing the demon clan to shed blood and become unstable.

Lei Men believes that the demon tribe might make some moves in the big market in order to demonstrate their strength and turn internal problems into external ones.

In order to prevent this possibility from coming true and causing huge losses, Leimen talked with all the top figures in Pingyao area to avoid being caught off guard when the enemy attacks. Pingyao is the front line against the enemy monsters, just as Guiyu is the front line against the demons.

The dean of Waci Academy is one of the strongest people in Minglei City, so he is naturally included in the plan.

It doesn't sound like it has much to do with me, Fu Xuan thought.

After the dean promised to help when necessary, Mu Jieqiu took Leimen's mother away.

Fu Xuan was about to leave when he heard the dean say, "Xiao Xuan, is that you?"

After a pause, Fu Xuan did not respond and left. She did not go through the main door for fear of bumping into Mu Jie Qiu who had not walked far, but went out through the side door and headed towards the teleportation array.

Once this large-scale joint anti-enemy plan is formed, even if it is initially intended to prevent the demons from taking action, it is very likely to eventually turn into an active attack by the human race. The number of people in Yaohua City will only increase and become more chaotic. She wants to ask Ming Tianbao about something, so it’s better to do it sooner rather than later.

"Aunt, let's go to Yaohua City." Fu Xuan said as he threw six spirit crystals to the people guarding the formation.

A voice came from the side, "Are you in a hurry to go to Yaohua City to inform the news?"

Fu Xuan turned his head and looked at Mu Jieqiu. He did not answer the question, but just asked rudely: "Who are you?"

Seeing her like this, Mu Jieqiu smiled and said nothing more. He just threw a spirit crystal to the guard and said, "I'm going to Yaohua City too."

Tsk. Since he was pretending not to know her, Fu Xuan naturally didn't care where she was going, and just acted impatient.

How to get rid of this guy? Fu Xuan's mind raced.

The guard didn't know what she was thinking, so he changed the formation and said, "Go ahead."

The two men stood in the center of the formation, and the person guarding the formation pointed at a certain point in the formation. The formation suddenly became activated and was enveloped by spiritual energy.

As soon as he arrived at the familiar Yaohua City teleportation array courtyard, Fu Xuan strode out, followed closely by Mu Jieqiu, who asked, "What are you doing in Yaohua City?"

"Do I know you? Why are you following me?" Fu Xuan said angrily.

Mu Jieqiu said, "Are you hiding from me and doing something shameful?"

As annoying as ever. Fu Xuan rolled his eyes, "What I do is none of your business."

Mu Jieqiu said seriously: "People who do bad things will be struck by lightning."

Fu Xuan said, "Stop coaxing the child." She didn't want to get entangled with her, so she turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Mu Jieqiu seemed to be able to see her across space, her figure moving through the streets and alleys, following her quickly in the shadows, and kept talking:

"Where did you get this skill from? I heard that the 'unknown murderer' who killed Ying Feiqiong disappeared into the shadows. Of course, everyone knows that it was Ji Weihang. Have you seen her? I know you have admired her since you were a child, but you can't learn to kill from her."

"Then what can we learn?" a question came from above.

Mu Jieqiu stopped suddenly, dodged suddenly, jumped ten meters away, raised his head slightly, looked at the person who appeared silently, and bowed as a junior: "Danxin Daojun."

Then he replied: "I dare not make any rash judgments."

Looking at Mu Jieqiu's taciturn appearance, Fu Xuan sneered, "You really are not good at choosing the right dish for your meal."

Mu Jieqiu looked at Fu Xuan and said seriously, "How dare I say anything in front of you, senior?"

It was Ji Weihang who suddenly appeared. She came to Yaohua City after leaving the Secret Realm of the Ancients, and was going to buy something from Ming Tianbao. She sensed that Fu Xuan suddenly appeared, and when she spread her spiritual sense, she found that the famous disciple of the Lei Clan, who was famous for being "just and polite", was chasing Fu Xuan and giving him a long speech.

I hadn't originally intended to butt in on a conversation between two people who obviously knew each other, but as I listened I felt that the topic was somewhat related to me, so I decided to show up and interrupt.

She waved at Fu Xuan, and when Fu Xuan came closer, she said to Mu Jieqiu, "Are you here to meet up with the people from the various sects? They are all waiting for you in Feiyan Tower."

Mu Jieqiu glanced at Fu Xuan and said, "Thank you for telling me, senior."

Ji Weihang said, "You should know how to tell me that you saw me."

Mu Jieqiu looked into her eyes and said, "I will hide Xiaoxuan's existence."

Ji Weihang nodded slightly and left with Fu Xuan.

Feeling the surrounding shielding barrier disappear, Mu Jieqiu's body relaxed.

It was also at this moment that she realized that she had unconsciously tensed up when Ji Weihang appeared.

Even though she knew that the possibility of Ji Weihang accidentally hurting innocent people was small, she couldn't help but be nervous when facing a person in the out-of-body stage who had taken the lives of many Tianjiao on his hands.

She hurried towards Feiyan Tower. The news that everyone was gathering at Feiyan Tower might have spread. She had to tell others that Ji Weihang might also be involved.

Ji Weihang did not ask her to hide her news, but only asked her if she knew how to say it, which meant to hide Fu Xuan's existence. This was exactly what she wanted to do.

Although it seems to go against her principles, Fu Xuan has little presence and no role in such a major event. Mentioning Fu Xuan in front of the major sects is tantamount to putting on eye drops to increase the sense of presence, which is not a good thing for casual cultivators.

If anyone thought that this weak point should be “attacked”, she would be harming Fu Xuan.

Of course, this was also because she knew that Ji Weihang would not lead Fu Xuan to rebel against the human race. Ji Weihang was in Yaohua City, probably because he had something to do with Zhong Lingxiu.

The matter of revenge was widely reported in the newspapers. The newspapers also analyzed the dangers of Zhong Lingxiu daring to leave the demon world and come to Pingyao. Some people even opened a bet on how many days she could live.

Mu Jieqiu didn't think killing was the right way to resolve hatred, but she wouldn't tell that to the well-known orphan of Ming Yanzong.

She asked Fu Xuan not to learn how to kill people because she was worried that Fu Xuan would somehow get in touch with the senior she admired and thus learn his behavior.

——Although she had never really controlled Fu Xuan, under her control, Fu Xuan had disabled people, abused and poisoned them, imprisoned and robbed them, but he had definitely never killed anyone.

People who grew up in Ping Yao are influenced by the chaos and bestiality here, and are very aggressive, both outwardly and internally.

They show a desire for destruction and killing externally, and have a strong tendency towards self-destruction internally.

She sensed this tendency when she met Fu Xuan for the first time. After getting to know him better and observing him more closely, she guessed that his strong desire for self-destruction came from survivor's guilt, thinking that he was lucky but unable to contribute to the unfortunate, and feeling unwilling to accept his own inadequacies.

She didn't know where Fu Xuan's mentality came from. She looked up Fu Xuan's experience, but everything was hidden and nowhere to be found.

She tried many times to untie Fu Xuan's knot, but for someone who is unwilling to open his heart, there is no connection.

When they were talking just now, she clearly felt that Fu Xuan's condition had improved, but after Ji Weihang appeared, this change brought a sense of even greater danger.

After Ji Weihang appeared, Fu Xuan relaxed completely. Of course, this was a common phenomenon when there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. But Fu Xuan was a person who was always in a tense state. Her state not only meant that she had given her back to others, but also her heart.

During the communication, Fu Xuan didn't say much. She hid her aggressiveness and let Ji Weihang be the one who "attacked" on her behalf, expressing her ideas and becoming her "mouth".

Fu Xuan shifted his own subjectivity and put Ji Weihang first, using him as his spear and shield, mouth and tongue.

In this situation, she was worried that Fu Xuan would regard Ji Weihang's goal as his own and give everything for Ji Weihang.

The thoughts flashed by and Feiyan Tower was already in sight.

She jumped off the roof and landed in front of Feiyan Tower. She gave the signal to the waiter who came over: "Three Stars."

The waiter understood and led her to the stairs, saying with a smile: "The fifth floor is under martial law. Please go upstairs by yourself."

Martial law? That's too ostentatious.
