Chapter 516
When Yuan Jing was sent back to the inn by Duan Linzhi, he saw Zhai Yuanhao lying on the bed, who was grumbling to Yuan Jing. On the contrary, Zhai Yuanhai, who had been injured before, was now alive and kicking.
Duan Linzhi saw Zhai Yuanhao, left him some healing pills and then left. Uncle Zhai was very grateful to the Thirteenth Prince because the healing pills he sent were much better than those from the Zhai family and would not leave any sequelae for Zhai Yuanhao.
Uncle San said excitedly: "Xiao Ba, although Yuan Hao met a powerful opponent and was defeated by him, his performance and strength have attracted the attention of many warriors. Several warriors have come to ask about Yuan Hao's situation. One of them, a sect called Qimumen, really wants Yuan Hao to join."
Yuan Jing was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Qimumen would appear now. In the plot, Zhai Yuanhao was hunted by his enemies and wandered outside. He met the daughter of the leader of Qimumen by chance and was rescued by her and brought back to Qimumen. So he developed feelings for the leader's daughter and Qimumen, and stayed in Qimumen for a relatively peaceful period of time.
While taking care of Zhai Yuanhao, the sect master's daughter Mu Xuanning developed a vague feeling for each other. However, before this feeling could be made clear, the Qimu Sect suffered a disaster. This disaster had nothing to do with Zhai Yuanhao, but the destruction of the sect and the whereabouts of Mu Xuanning were unknown, which was another heavy blow to Zhai Yuanhao.
It was also after the incident with Mu Xuanning that Zhai Yuanhao closed his heart and no longer allowed any woman to enter his heart.
At this moment, Xiao Qi ran in from outside excitedly, shouting, "Fifth brother, Fifth brother, Miss Mu is here to see you again."
"Miss Mu?" Yuan Jing was stunned again.
Zhai Yuanhai explained at the side: "Xiao Ba, you were away these few days, so you didn't know Miss Mu. Miss Mu is a female disciple of Qimu Sect, and her maiden name is Xuanning."
Yuan Jing stroked his forehead and sighed, what kind of evil fate was this? He didn't expect Mu Xuanning to show up so early. In the plot, when the two met, Zhai Yuanhao had already left Fengyan Country and fled abroad with a blood feud. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that because of Xie Shuhong's early death, Mu Xuanning appeared early?
Just as he was thinking about all these random things, a graceful woman in green appeared in front of the Zhai family, accompanied by a man and a woman. The female disciple was full of curiosity, while the male disciple was dissatisfied with everyone and was very picky. Yuan Jing understood everything from the look on his face. Mu Xuanning had outstanding looks and a special status in the sect, so many male disciples in the sect had a crush on her. At this time, Mu Xuanning was considerate and caring towards the men outside, so he was jealous.
"Excuse me, everyone. Is Junior Brother Zhai feeling better?" Mu Xuanning's voice was also very gentle, without any disdain towards the Zhai family.
Zhai Yuanhai hurriedly came forward on behalf of the Zhai brothers and said, "Fifth brother is much better now, thanks to Miss Laomu's care. Fifth brother is inside now."
Mu Xuanning nodded slightly: "Then I'll go in and see him."
The three of them went into Zhai Yuanhao's room together. Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi dragged Yuan Jing to the other side and whispered about what had happened in the past two days. No one disturbed Zhai Yuanhao and Mu Xuanning's relationship. Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi were envious and jealous of this. There was no girl more outstanding than Mu Xuanning in the entire Linyang City.
"So, Fifth Brother wants to join the Qimu Sect?"
Xiao Qi smiled a little bit obscenely: "I'm sure, this is called the one who is close to the water gets the moon first, I think Fifth Brother will fall into it sooner or later."
"Be careful that Fifth Brother hears you and beats you up again."
Yuan Jing sighed. Is it really impossible to change Zhai Yuanhao's fate? He originally wanted to borrow Duan Linzhi's identity to find a way to get Zhai Yuanhao into Xingjian Sect. Duan Linzhi didn't have such great power now, but he could recommend him to Xingjian Sect. And if it didn't work out this year, it would work out next year or the year after. But in just a few days, Zhai Yuanhao met Mu Xuanning in advance, and they seemed to have a good impression of each other.
Mu Xuanning left not long after staying there. Before leaving, she left some elixirs for Zhai Yuanhao. The Qimu Sect was outstanding in cultivating Yuanzhi and refining elixirs, so the elixirs left for Zhai Yuanhao were of course the best.
As the team leader, Uncle Zhai was the happiest. Not only was Zhai Yuanhao favored by the Qimu Sect, but the eighth brother Zhai Yuanjing was also very close to the Thirteenth Prince and had been taken to the palace by the Thirteenth Prince for several days. All this seemed to indicate that the Zhai family would get better and better.
On the surface, Yuan Jing was chatting and laughing with everyone, but he was actually worried. When he returned to the room late at night, he happened to bump into Zhai Yuanhao holding the bottle of medicine left by Mu Xuanning. The latter was startled and quickly stuffed the medicine into his arms with an embarrassed look on his face.
Yuan Jing thought to himself that at that time Zhai Yuanhao was still a naive boy who had never experienced anything. He was not very wary of others. When faced with a beautiful woman like Mu Xuanning, it was easy for him to develop a good impression of her. Unlike later when he was on guard against everyone he met and it was difficult for him to let down his guard. It was only during their daily interactions that he gradually developed a good impression of her.
Yuan Jing pretended not to see it. Zhai Yuanhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He felt guilty for being caught in this scene by his own brother.
Just when he was trying to find a topic to talk to Yuan Jing, Yuan Jing spoke first: "Fifth brother, will you enter Qimumen?"
"Fifth brother, if you have the opportunity to enter Xingjian Sect, would you still want to enter Qimu Sect?"
Zhai Yuanhao was stunned, not knowing how to answer Yuan Jing's question: "Xingjianmen? Is it possible?"
Yuan Jing sat down beside the bed and said, "Brothers Duan and Feng are in Xingjianmen. With their recommendation and Fifth Brother's own efforts, even if he can't get in this year, I believe he will definitely get in next year."
Zhai Yuanhao subconsciously wanted to touch the jade bottle in his arms, but in the end he just scratched his head in confusion: "Eighth brother, I don't know either. Eighth brother, let me think about it carefully."
"Well, Fifth Brother, think about it carefully."
Although Zhai Yuanhao said he would think about it, Yuan Jing estimated that he would most likely choose Qimu Sect in the end. Zhai Yuanhao was actually a very proud man. He believed that with his talent and diligence, even if he entered Qimu Sect, which was not as good as Xingjian Sect, he would be able to shine in Xuanwu Continent in the future.
When he met Duan Lin the next day, Yuan Jing shared this with him. Duan Lin could only sigh and laugh and shook his head: "It seems that Zhai Yuanhao is really a son of luck. God has destined him to experience hardships and tests."
Yuan Jing nodded: "Yes, I am also afraid that if I interfere too much, the disaster of Qimumen's extinction will come early. If everything remains the same, there are still several years to prepare."
Duan Linzhi thought about it and said, "Okay, let's let that kid go to Qimumen. At least if he stays in Qimumen, the Zhai family will be fine. After a few years, the strength of the Zhai family should be able to improve a lot."
Yuan Jing held his chin and said, "When Zhai Yuanhao is no longer the son of luck, I will catch him and beat him up."
Duan Linzhi laughed loudly and echoed: "Add me and we'll beat them together."
As the two were talking, Feng Jing ran over and brought them a message: "Xie Shuchun is back."
"He came back so soon? Did he use the Wushuang Sect's Winged Cloud Boat?" Duan Linzhi asked with understanding.
Feng Jing said, "Yes, it seems that Xie Shuchun really values his idiot brother. For such an idiot brother, he used the sect's Winged Cloud Boat. Even though he is a core disciple, Xie Shuchun has to pay a big price. Do you want to go and see the fun?"
Feng Jing didn't know that Xie Shuhong died as a result of the conspiracy of Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing. He just wanted to see the joke of Wushuang Sect and Xie Shuchun. From his performance, Yuan Jing guessed that Wushuang Sect and Xingjian Sect were not on good terms without knowing the details.
Duan Linzhi didn't feel guilty at all, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, let's go, Yuan Jing will come with us."
Feng Jing sighed and shook his head. He had not expected that the Thirteenth Prince really loved Yuan Jing so much, and acted as if he wanted to tie him to his belt. What would he do when he returned to the sect?
Only Zhai Yuanjing from the Zhai family went to see the excitement of the Xie family. The other members of the Zhai family did not get the news so quickly. For Yuanjing, it was better for the Zhai family not to show up. The less the Zhai family members entered the Xie family's field of vision, the less likely they would suspect or vent their anger on the Zhai family, giving the Zhai family any chance to be at risk.
As for the excitement in the Xie family, of course he was willing to watch it. It just depended on who Xie Shuchun wanted to vent his anger for his brother's death on this time.
Xie Shuchun was really angry this time. When he received the letter from home saying that his second brother was killed by a criminal, his first thought was to go home quickly and make the murderer pay a heavy price. His brother was dead, and the murderer's entire family was not enough to be buried with his brother.
In order to get home as soon as possible, he applied for the sect's Winged Cloud Boat and rushed back to the imperial capital of Fengyan Kingdom in the shortest time. As soon as he entered the imperial capital, the disciples of the Wushuang Sect who were there hurried to see Senior Brother Xie. This disciple's status was not as high as Xie Shuchun's, and he was quite respectful in front of Xie Shuchun, but he could not have the slightest good impression on Xie Shuhong, this fool.
Xie Shuchun also took out his anger on these junior brothers and sisters: "You are all here, don't you know anything about this? Why did you let my second brother suffer this fate?"
One of the disciples named Yang was actually older than Xie Shuchun, but now Xie Shuchun was a core disciple with a higher status than him, so he couldn't be disrespectful, but there were some things he had to make clear: "Brother Xie, you don't know, after the incident, several of us went to the Xie family to check what happened, and asked the relevant investigators, and found that your brother..."
Junior Brother Yang felt that the cause of Xie Shuhong's death was a bit difficult to explain, but Senior Brother Xie actually used this to question them.
"What happened to my brother?" Xie Shuchun said angrily.
Junior Brother Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I found that your brother was indeed suffering from yang deficiency, and there was no trace of human intervention. Senior Brother Xie, even if you don't trust the people of Fengyan Country, you should trust the vision and judgment of our fellow brothers. If you still don't believe it, then we can only ask the people from the sect to come and investigate."
Xie Shuchun suspected that he had misheard: "What? Died from impotence?"
"Yes, I couldn't even invite Junior Sister to this matter. Only the three of us are paying attention to this matter. Junior Brother Xie, please go back and ask about what your brother did that day."
Xie Shuchun's face suddenly turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Has it spread throughout the imperial capital?"
Junior Brother Yang thought to himself, your parents don't believe the cause of Xie Shuhong's death, and they insist that it was caused by bad guys, as if they are afraid that others don't know, so they can't suppress it even if they want to. Do you think they don't want to suppress it? Xie's parents put pressure on the royal family under the banner of Wushuang Sect, but they can't suppress it at all, and Wushuang Sect is also embarrassed.
"Uncle Xie and Aunt Xie do not believe the reason for your brother's death and insist on catching the murderer everywhere, so...please forgive me for my incompetence."
Xie Shuchun almost broke his teeth. It was so embarrassing, extremely embarrassing!
Even if he is protective of his family, his own reputation is more important than that of his relatives. It is easy to imagine that if this matter were to get back to the sect, those disciples who are dissatisfied with him would definitely point fingers at him, and maybe even his master would develop a grudge against him.
If he couldn't protect his family, he would be embarrassed in the sect, but if his family died in such a dishonorable way outside, he would also be embarrassed in the sect. At this moment, Xie Shuchun felt resentful towards his beloved brother and parents, and said, "Let's go back and see what happened."
When Feng Jing and the other two arrived, they saw Xie Shuchun and the disciples of Wushuang Sect entering Xie's house. It was clear that Xie Shuchun looked very unhappy. Feng Jing wanted to laugh out loud: "This guy must know how his stupid brother died. Let's see how he is going to investigate."
Duan Linzhi and Yuan Jing both curled their lips, this scene was really good.
"Let's go in and take a look."
The Xie family's followers could stop others, but could they possibly stop Duan Linzhi, who was both the Thirteenth Prince and a disciple of the Xingjian Sect? Of course not, they had to respectfully invite him in, and then have the servants hurry in to inform the host family before they could.
But at this moment, all the owners of the Xie Mansion surrounded Xie Shuchun who had just entered the house, crying and complaining that the second son died unjustly. The Xie couple had only two sons, and one went to the Wushuang Sect, separating their family. Therefore, they were especially doting on the second son who stayed with them, and gave double the love to him alone, which led to Xie Shuhong being indulged to the point of lawlessness.
"Boss, you are finally back. Your second brother died tragically. As the eldest brother, you must avenge him, otherwise he will die with regrets in the underworld."
"Big brother, when you were away, your second brother was the one who took care of your parents on your behalf. But now he has been killed by a thief, and your father and mother's hearts have been dug out. In the past few days when you haven't been back, your brother has been crying to us in his sleep that his death was unjust."
“Boss…”
Xie Shuchun's forehead was throbbing with veins, and his fists were clenched. He had heard many times before that his younger brother had been filial to his parents, so because he loved his younger brother and because his parents had asked him to take care of his younger brother, he was even more protective of him. But now thinking of the possible cause of his second younger brother's death and the situation that had caused a lot of uproar, Xie Shuchun yelled:
"That's enough. I'll go check on my second brother now. If he was really killed by a villain, I will definitely make him pay with blood."
"Yes, yes, go and see your second brother." Xie's father and mother nodded repeatedly. This was how it should be. No, this was not enough. The second brother was the apple of their eyes. Even killing the entire family of the bad guys could not repay the second brother's life.
Xie Shuchun, the person who could make the decision, did not come back, so of course Xie Shuhong's body was still kept in the mourning hall. Nowadays, there are many ways to preserve corpses so that they look the same as when they first died.
Xie Shuchun suppressed his anger and paid tribute to his second brother first, and then had the coffin opened to check the condition of the body. At this time, Feng Jing and the other two also arrived at the mourning hall and followed Xie Shuchun to check the condition of the body.
Junior Brother Yang and the others of course recognized Feng Jing and Duan Linzhi who followed in. Although the two sects were not on good terms, they were in the imperial capital of Fengyan Nation, so they would not go to war. So they nodded to the three of them.
Feng Jing was also curious about what Xie Shuchun could find out, so he really followed him to check Xie Shuhong's body from inside to outside.
The more Xie Shuchun investigated, the darker his face became. How old was his second brother, yet he was so exhausted. He couldn't find any suspicious traces on the body. He turned around and interrogated the servants who had been with Xie Shuhong who was imprisoned. When he came out again, his face was so dark that ink could be squeezed out of it.
The aura he exuded was so great that Xie's father and mother did not dare to speak loudly to him. Of course, for this couple, it was only natural for Xie Shuchun to take care of his younger brother Xie Shuhong.
“Boss…”
Xie Shuchun was furious, and showed no mercy to his parents: "What did I say in the beginning? I told you to discipline my second brother, but look at what kind of life he has been leading at home. At such a young age, not only does he have beautiful maids, but he has also married more than a dozen concubines. That's not all, he is still messing around outside. Do you love him? This is clearly harming him. It's all your fault that my second brother has this result. How do you want me to take revenge on the bad guys?"
Xie's father and mother were shocked: "What did you say, eldest brother? Wasn't the second brother killed by a bad guy?"
"Where is the bad guy? What bad guy can deceive my eyes? Are those concubines and maids in my second brother's room just decorations?" He had also looked at those maids, and there was not even one who had not lost her yin. It was obvious that my second brother was living a dissolute life in the mansion. The more he talked, the more annoyed he became. "Is this what you said that my second brother has made progress at home? Has he made progress to the point of being involved in cosmetics? Has he ever done anything serious?"
The couple was stunned by the scolding. After a long while, Xie's mother burst into tears: "You scold me, who should I scold? What should I do if you run so far away? Only your second brother is by my side and says some kind words. I don't ask your second brother to be ambitious, as long as he stays with us. Don't you even have such a request? You still scold him. Your second brother is dead now, and you still scold him? Why is my life so miserable..."
After hearing Xie's mother's crying, Xie Shuchun's momentum weakened. He was overwhelmed by Xie's mother's crying, but he couldn't get angry. There were two guys from the Star Sword Sect outside, and how could he not know that one of them was the Thirteenth Prince?
In the past, when he met the Thirteenth Prince, he did not feel that his status was much lower than his, and he still held his head high in front of him. But outside, the prince's status was not worth a single Yuanshi.
But now thinking about the Thirteenth Prince watching him at Xie's house, Xie Shuchun's face swelled. His parents were still so persistent, and he said helplessly: "Since you said so, how about I withdraw from Shuangwu Sect and stay by my parents' side?"
Xie's father and mother were dumbfounded.
