Chapter 65 Maybe it was intentional?
When Jiang Jiu returned to Liu's Mansion, he felt that the place had become very strange. All the original servants and maids were gone, and the whole mansion became empty.
"What's going on?"
At dawn, Jiang Jiu returned to Liu's house with Fo Jiang, looking a little confused.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xiao Nianzhong appear from the other side of the corridor with his arms folded. His eyes met Fo Jiang's. He looked away with a sneer and smiled at Jiang Jiu.
"Someone was plotting against you, and Long Xuan discovered it."
Xiao Nianzhong spoke in a light tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, but it made Jiang Jiu feel a little amused and helpless.
"Who in this mortal world can plot against me?"
Jiang Jiu took a step forward, wanting to see what Long Xuan was doing, but Xiao Nianzhong grabbed her arm, leaned casually against the pillar, his voice slightly hoarse.
"There have always been many people plotting against you, but you just don't know it."
His words were suggestive, causing Jiang Jiu to stop in his tracks. Fo Jiang also raised his head and looked at Xiao Nianzhong. The atmosphere in the courtyard became strangely quiet.
At once everyone had the same thought in their mind, but no one cared about it.
"Ahaha, so what did they do."
Jiang Jiu no longer walked inside, but laughed and pretended nothing had happened.
"The appearance of Dragon King's Tears in the Liu family is not a coincidence. It was deliberately arranged by someone with the purpose of delivering this thing to you."
Xiao Nianzhong thought about it and added.
"It's possible that even the early hatching of that little dragon was orchestrated by someone behind the scenes."
Now Jiang Jiu was completely quiet, and it took him a while to speak.
"Long Xuan is interrogating them now, right?"
She asked.
"Well, no one in this world has dared to plot against me yet. It's just that he discovered it in advance."
Xiao Nianzhong curled his lips in disdain when he said this. After all, he couldn't do it himself, otherwise Liu's parents would be even worse off than they are now.
"Um."
Jiang Jiu was not such a saint as to stop Long Xuan from doing these things. Besides, Jiang Jiu had always been dissatisfied with the parents' attitude towards Liu Xueer.
but.......
After all, he is Liu Xueer’s relative. Jiang Jiu thought about it and asked again.
"Where's Liu Xue'er? Try not to let her see."
Xiao Nianzhong lazily lifted his drooping eyelids, stared at Jiang Jiu for two seconds, and then sighed.
"You really do care about her, but it's too late. She's already seen it."
These words made Jiang Jiu frown slightly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a figure walking out from the side.
"Xue'er..."
Jiang Jiu keenly noticed her presence and spoke with a hesitant tone.
"I'm... fine."
Liu Xueer's face was pale and bloodless, looking extremely ugly. For a moment, Jiang Jiu's heart was lifted up. Could it be that Long Xuan's interrogation method was too cruel and scared the child?
But Long Xuan doesn't have that kind of personality, right?
“…”
But now Jiang Jiu didn't know what position she had to take care of this matter. She couldn't stop Long Xuan, but looking at Liu Xueer's expression, she still felt a little reluctant.
Just as Jiang Jiu was racking his brains to think of how to comfort her, Liu Xueer suddenly spoke.
"Sometimes I wonder, do they really love me? Are they really my biological parents?"
Her voice was ethereal and weak, and she sounded very tired, the kind of fatigue that came from deep within her bones.
"Um?"
The words that Jiang Jiu wanted to use to comfort her were stuck in his throat. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to remain silent.
It seems that Liu Xueer must have had some conflict with them, and maybe those treacherous parents said something hurtful.
"Don't be sad..."
Standing in the courtyard were two grown men, Xiao Nianzhong and Fo Jiang, who were almost biting their back teeth as they watched Jiang Jiu patiently coaxing another woman.
"Monk, why don't you become a monk anymore?"
Xiao Nianzhong couldn't bear to watch this scene, nor could he go up to stop it, so he could only choose to chat with Fo Jiang to divert his attention.
In fact, when he first saw Fo Jiang, he didn't react and thought that Jiang Jiu had hooked up with a new wild man. But when he looked at the guy's facial features carefully, wasn't he an old acquaintance?
It’s just that it’s hard to get used to seeing Fojiang with long hair.
"The Buddha is unwilling to save me."
Fo Jiang lowered his eyes and uttered these words softly with his thin lips. They sounded lifeless, like the ashes of despair.
Xiao Nianzhong was also stunned by his reaction. He always saw this monk as having a different face. Most of the time, he was pretending to save others and himself, but today he seemed like his soul had been hollowed out.
“…”
He was a demon god and would never chat with someone in this state. For a while, the two of them were silent.
For Xiao Nianzhong, his life is more free and easy. As long as he is willing, he will give his all and do what he wants, without any worries about faith.
Therefore, he didn't know much about Fojiang's current situation and didn't quite understand it.
Of course, Fo Jiang didn't need his understanding.
On the other side, Jiang Jiu finally understood what happened to Liu Xueer. It turned out that when she went to Long Xuan to plead for mercy, she heard Liu's parents eager to hand her over in exchange for a chance to live.
He even said that she could be a slave or a servant, which showed that he didn't treat her as a human being at all.
Anyone who was abandoned so casually would collapse in despair, so much so that she now floated out of the inner courtyard like a zombie and bumped into Jiang Jiu.
".....Do you want me to take you away today?"
Jiang Jiu sighed and touched Liu Xueer's head. At this time, many consolations were useless. Only escape could make the empty wound in his heart gradually heal.
Liu Xueer shook her head with empty eyes, turned around and went back to her room.
Jiang Jiu looked at her back, rubbed his temples helplessly, and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Just as she thought, Long Xuan didn't do anything excessive. He just used a small illusion to make them tell the truth.
If it was an evil cultivator or a demon cultivator, he would have probably been subjected to soul-searching or tortured.
Long Xuan also noticed Jiang Jiu's figure, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards her.
"You're finally back."
Jiang Jiu glanced at the Liu family's parents who were in a dream and asked in a calm voice.
"Did you find out anything?"
Long Xuan just shook his head, looking somewhat disappointed.
"There aren't many useful clues, but it seems someone wants you to see something, so that's why they arranged it this way."
He pointed at the box in his arms. The formation on it was definitely not something that an ordinary person could set up. At least it would require the intervention of a god, which was very inconsistent with the fact that it appeared in the mortal world.
