Chapter 103 The Honest Person Complains First

Many things cannot stand thinking.

Many people have this experience. Once you start to suspect someone, all the evidence and details will automatically develop in the direction of proving that person guilty, because you already have this tendency in your heart.

Saint Hehuan was no exception at this time.

After she linked the Assassin's League and Xuandu Temple together, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the two must have an inseparable and complicated relationship.

"Xuandu Temple is the first immortal sect of the righteous path. Since it is the righteous path, there are some things that cannot be done openly, and some people cannot be killed openly, but the Assassin's League can do it."

"In the past hundred years, the Assassin's League has killed countless people, and the disciples of Xuandu Temple are the least among them... I used to think that it was because there were so few disciples in Xuandu Temple. Now it seems that there may be another mystery."

"The peerless swordsman of Xuandu Temple is in charge, and the eight vein masters are each in power. The peerless swordsman of the Assassin's League is in charge, and the eight gold medal assassins are rampant in the world."

"The Supreme Sword Immortal has been hiding his tracks all this time, and even I can't see through his true colors. It's unlikely that a peerless Sword Immortal-level expert would suddenly appear in this world, so people speculate that it's one of the other four great Sword Immortals in disguise. The Sword Immortal Yi has been ruled out, the Sword Immortal Qinglian doesn't have such scheming means, and the old demon Yu... has just been ruled out, so..."

The independent, stunning and extraordinary figure appeared in front of the Holy Lady Hehuan.

That was the figure she had always looked up to, and also the one she had always loved.

But before, she only thought that the other party was a being who possessed all the truth, goodness and beauty. He was powerful, domineering and stunningly beautiful. As soon as he appeared in the world, he was already invincible. Then he saved her from danger and became a fairy admired by the world.

"Could it be that my infatuation has clouded my judgment?" Saint Hehuan kept asking herself, "Indeed, there is no such thing as sudden emergence. The Absolute Sword Immortal cannot suddenly appear, nor can the Linglong Sword Immortal. It is said that Linglong's strongest skill is not swordsmanship, so how did she hone her swordsmanship?"

The Green Lotus Sword Immortal tempered his mind in the worldly world and wasted nearly a hundred years before he developed his Green Lotus Sword Skills.

The Immortal Yijian founded the Qipan Mountain and invited wise men and swordsmen from all over the world to the mountain to break the impasse. It was not until his chess skills became invincible that the art of Yijian was finally perfected.

Needless to say, the Demon Sword Immortal's fame is a history of killing. Every step he took was a glorious one, both for the good and the evil, and no one would question why the Demon Sword Immortal's swordsmanship was so sharp.

Only Linglong Sword Immortal appeared out of nowhere.

People only think that Fairy Linglong is proficient in everything. With Fairy Linglong's invincible strength, it seems reasonable that her swordsmanship can be ranked among the top five sword immortals.

Saint Hehuan also thought it was reasonable before.

Whatever your loved one can do is acceptable.

Until this moment, she began to doubt.

How could one become a sword master so quickly?

"Linglong, are you hiding it so deeply?"

Saint Hehuan suddenly felt a layer of fog appearing in front of Yu Linglong, covering her layer by layer and making her unable to see her true appearance.

But Saint Hehuan was not disappointed. On the contrary, after her scalp numbed, she felt even more stunningly the man she loved.

"As expected, she is the woman I like."

The stronger she is, the more worthy she is of love.

As for her other side, she has a murderous nature in private and also controls an empire of assassins in the dark shadows - this has never been a minus point for the witch's view on choosing a mate.

“It’s getting more and more interesting.”

On the surface, there was no apparent movement on the part of Saint Hehuan.

However, based on his understanding of the Holy Maiden Hehuan, Yu Lao Mo still sensed something was wrong.

Combined with what Saint Hehuan said before:

"The organizational model of the Assassin's League is that the Supreme Sword Immortal is at the top, and under his command are eight gold medal assassins sitting in command of one side."

Old Demon Yu glanced at the seemingly calm Saint Hehuan and suddenly had an idea.

After all, he is a giant demon who is in charge of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Even though Old Demon Yu is not as smart as Saint Hehuan, it is because he has devoted more energy to spiritual practice. It does not mean that he is really stupid.

In terms of IQ, he is still above average.

"Madam, you don't suspect that Xuandu Temple is behind the Assassin's League, right?"

Holy Maiden He Huan smiled faintly: "How is this possible? The leader is joking. Xuandu Temple is the world's number one immortal sect, but the Assassin's League is a killer organization. How can the two be confused?"

Yu Lao Mo seemed to be thinking about something. "I really didn't have this idea before, but after Madam's reminder, it seems that this is really possible. Xuandu Temple has a peerless sword immortal and eight meridian masters. The Assassin's League has a peerless sword immortal and eight gold medal assassins. Although their styles of doing things are different... Bah, based on my understanding of Xuandu Temple, the styles of doing things between Xuandu Temple and the Assassin's League are no different. They both kill all those who don't obey."

The person who knows you best is always your enemy.

In this world, the person who knows Xuandu Temple's style of doing things best is none other than Old Demon Yu.

In this regard, Saint Hehuan has to take the back seat.

After all, Yu Lao Mo is the number one in the magic world and the second best in the world. He bears the most pressure from Xuandu Temple.

Therefore, he knew best the murderous and ruthless nature beneath the surface of the righteous immortal sect of Xuandu Temple.

"I have personally learned Yu Linglong's swordsmanship. If you have not killed more than 10,000 people, you cannot practice that kind of killing sword."

Saint Hehuan's heart moved.

That being said, it is more likely.

"But she is not the Absolute Sword Immortal."

"Um?"

Saint Hehuan looked at Old Demon Yu in surprise.

This time it was Yu Lao Mo's turn to smile faintly, feeling the sense of superiority that came from his strength.

"I have fought with the Supreme Sword Immortal. Although he is very strong, he is still inferior to me. If it is really Yu Linglong, why would it come to this? Madam, you have a wide network of contacts and amazing talent, but you lack some practical experience. You can only act on guesswork, and that's all you can do." Yu Lao Mo sneered, "I will give you a piece of advice. For cultivators like me, if we use our brains too much, we will inevitably do too little. Look at Yu Linglong and I. When have we ever had to make many calculations? No matter how many calculations others make, we will kill them with one sword."

Saint Hehuan sneered at the ridicule from Old Demon Yu as if it were a gentle breeze blowing across her face.

There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing.

Her fists aren't as strong as Yu Linglong's and Yu Lao Mo's, so of course she has to use her brain more.

Yu Lao Mo thought that his fists were strong enough, but when he met someone he was no match for, he would have to use his brain when necessary.

Whoever laughs last is right. There is no unified standard for such things.

Yu Lao Mo wanted to use this to strike at her Dao heart, but He Huan Saint didn't care at all. She only said one sentence, and Yu Lao Mo's heart was stirred: "Are you sure that the one who attacked you was Jue Jian Xian?"

Yu Lao Mo: "Madam, what do you mean?"

Saint He Huan said calmly, "The Absolute Sword Immortal never shows his true face to others. How do you know that you met the Absolute Sword Immortal and not me?"

Yu Lao Mo: “…”

grass.

After hearing what Saint Hehuan said, he really began to have doubts.

Holy Maiden He Huan continued with a half-smile: "In today's world, the most likely people to be blamed are Absolute Sword Immortal and Yellow Spring Emperor. If I want to kill someone who is an eyesore, but my identity is not suitable, I will disguise myself as them. Leader, don't tell me you haven't disguised yourself as Absolute Sword Immortal to kill someone who is inconvenient to kill as the leader of the Holy Church."

Yu Lao Mo's expression was uncertain.

Saint Hehuan smiled lightly, turned around and left the place.

In terms of strength, she is indeed half a step behind Yu Lao Mo.

But Yu Lao Mo is still far from being able to shake her determination.

The practitioners who can reach this stage have a firm faith in Taoism and will not be easily swayed by external things.

Yu Lao Mo's way is his way, and He Huan Saint's way is He Huan Saint's way. They have different ways, and they will not imitate each other.

After Saint He Huan left, Yu Jidao, the deputy leader of the Heavenly Demon Cult and Yu Lao Mo's younger brother, appeared and asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you want me to check the relationship between Xuandu Temple and the Assassin's League?"

"No need, this vicious woman is deliberately misleading us." Yu Lao Mo said decisively.

Yu Jidao had a different opinion: "Brother, I don't think she is acting. She seems to really suspect that the Sword Fairy is Yu Linglong."

Yu Lao Mo sneered and said, "That's the problem. What if you found out that the Absolute Sword Immortal is Yu Linglong?"

Yu Ji said: "..."

Yu Lao Mo's voice turned cold: "The Assassin's League is the Assassin's League. It is a killer organization that tends to be chaotic and is an ally of the Holy Church. Once you find out that the Assassin's League has a connection with Xuandu Temple, and you find out that Yu Linglong is supporting it, how will the Holy Church cope with it? How will the Assassin's League cope with it? If it's fake, it's fine. If it's true..."

Yu Lao Mo looked at Yu Ji and said, "Then you know too much. If Yu Linglong wants to kill you, who can save her?"

Yu Jidao was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Some secrets cannot be pried into. The more you know, the faster you will die." Yu Lao Mo said coldly: "Xuan Du Temple will never admit that they are the ones supporting the Assassin's League behind the scenes. Anyone who dares to put the blame on Xuan Du Temple will be greeted with the wrath of Xuan Du Temple. Ghost Domain Palace is a lesson for us. Do you want to confront Xuan Du Temple head-on?"

Yu Jidao knelt directly on the ground.

Only then did he realize that he had been to the gates of hell and even had a party at a grave with the entire Demonic Cult.

Fortunately, my eldest brother is wise and brave.

"Brother, I was wrong. I didn't mean it."

People in the evil world value family affection, but not much.

Yu Jidao realized that he had made a huge mistake, which even posed a direct threat to Yu Lao Mo's life, so he was very frightened.

Fortunately, although Old Demon Yu is bloodthirsty, he still has some affection for his own brother.

"It's not your fault." Yu Lao Mo said calmly, "It was that vicious woman who deliberately lured you into the trap. She sensed your presence just now, and those words were directed at you and me."

Yu Jidao also came to his senses.

"Brother, I understand. Li Huanyan herself is actually not sure whether the Absolute Sword Immortal is Yu Linglong, nor is she sure whether the Assassin's League is related to Xuandu Temple. She is deliberately guiding us to investigate. No matter what we find out, it will be beneficial to her. She can even make us and Xuandu Temple kill each other."

After Yu Jidao sorted out the whole thing, he broke out in a cold sweat again.

Although he is also the deputy leader of the Demonic Cult, 70% of this deputy leader status is because he is Yu Lao Mo's younger brother.

Three points depend on strength, and seven points depend on relationships - this is the case all over the world, and the Demonic Cult is no exception.

No one would rank him among the top bosses in the world.

Yu Jidao had not accepted it before and always wanted to prove himself. Now he found that there was a reason why he could not compare with those big guys in the front row. The gap was really huge, and not only in strength.

The Holy Maiden Hehuan dug a big hole for him without making a sound.

Fortunately, he reported to Yu Lao Mo before jumping into the pit, otherwise he might have died without an intact body this time, and might have taken Yu Lao Mo with him.

My eldest brother is also very capable. He can counter this vicious woman's moves and can completely deal with this vicious attack.

In fact, Yu Lao Mo is even more powerful than he thought.

"If I were that vicious woman, no matter whether the Assassin's League and Xuandu Temple are related or not, I would make you find out that there is a connection, and I would make sure Xuandu Temple knows that you are investigating this matter."

At this point, Yu Lao Mo shook his head and said, "Why bother? Does it matter whether the Assassin's League has any relationship with Xuandu Temple?"

After all, Yu Jidao's realm and cultivation were not high enough, so he did not fully understand what Yu Lao Mo meant, so he boldly asked: "Brother, isn't this important?"

"Of course it's not important." Yu Lao Mo's voice was calm and firm: "For me, no secrets are important. The most important thing is only one thing - let Yu Linglong ascend to heaven as soon as possible! As long as Yu Linglong ascends to the prehistoric fairyland, I will be the strongest in the world. Remember, the future belongs to us. That vicious woman wants to complicate a simple problem, so she made many plans and calculated everything. But I don't need to do anything, all the complicated problems can be simplified to one thing - after Yu Linglong leaves, I will have a sword in my hand, who in the world can resist me?"

So he doesn't care about the secrets of the League of Assassins at all.

Don't even care about Yu Linglong's secret.

He doesn't need a high IQ, nor does he need to master all the information.

Yu Lao Mo only needs to control one thing from beginning to end - to survive as the second strongest man in the world! Yu Jidao was convinced: "Brother, what you said makes sense. Only you can remain calm under the attack of a vicious woman like Li Huanyan. If it were me, I would have been tricked to death by her ten thousand times."

Yu Lao Mo said calmly: "The poisonous woman is indeed a character, but this world still speaks with fists. Don't worry about the affairs of the Assassin's League, and don't touch the affairs of Xuandu Temple. Make arrangements and prepare to take action against Tongtian Chamber of Commerce."

Yu Lao Mo jumped too fast, and Yu Jidao couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all: "Brother, are we going to take action against Tongtian Chamber of Commerce? Who is the one behind Tongtian Chamber of Commerce?"

"It's just a rumor, it may not be true. Even if it is true, there is Xuandu Temple to support it." A trace of murderous intent flashed in Yu Lao Mo's eyes: "If you want to blame someone, blame the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce for being blind and daring to touch my son. Tianjizi has already formed an alliance with that poisonous woman. The Tongtian Chamber of Commerce has sided with the poisonous woman, and Changsheng has become a thorn in their eyes. If the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is not eradicated, Changsheng's safety cannot be guaranteed."

The love for his son is obvious.

If Ji Changsheng were there, he would definitely be very moved.

Yu Lao Mo even thought about it: "Yu Linglong is the Absolute Sword Immortal? Oh, Tianjizi is also one of the five great sword immortals. Can't Yi Jianxian disguise himself as the Absolute Sword Immortal?"

Yu Jidao was puzzled: "Brother, if Yi Jianxian is Jue Jianxian, then why are they destroying their own stage? Jue Jianxian is clearly bringing disaster to Tongtian Chamber of Commerce."

Yu Lao Mo sneered: "The interests of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce are different from those of that vicious woman. Li Huanyan may not want a complete Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, the background of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is Tongtian. If Li Huanyan can use Changsheng as an inducement to induce Xuandu Temple and Tongtian Chamber of Commerce to take action, guess what this means?"

Yu Jidao is Yu Lao Mo's younger brother, so he naturally knows some inside information very well.

So after hearing what Yu Lao Mo said, Yu Jidao took a breath of cold air: "Li Huanyan wants Changsheng to be the trigger for the fight between the Great Qing Saint and the Tongtian Sect Master? If sacrificing the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce can achieve this goal, then it is really worth it. If you love your son dearly, you will definitely protect Changsheng, and then you will have to face the wrath of the saint? Hiss... This vicious woman actually thinks so far, she even deliberately leads us to say that the Absolute Sword Fairy is Yu Linglong."

At this moment, Yu Jidao completely understood his elder brother.

No wonder my eldest brother never dared to touch the Holy Maiden of Hehuan, not even to consummate the marriage.

That woman is really poisonous from head to toe.

If it were him, he wouldn't dare touch it.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Of course, it’s no wonder that my brother hates that vicious woman so much.

The marriage consummation had never happened, but that vicious woman suddenly brought a child and she insisted that it was the child of her and Old Demon Yu.

Which man could bear it? But Yu Lao Mo couldn't help but admit it.

If he doesn't admit it, he will be a laughing stock in the world.

"Brother, in this case, do we still need to take action against Tongtian Chamber of Commerce?" Yu Jidao asked.

"That vicious woman has already planned everything. Even if we don't take action, Tongtian Merchants will be doomed. If she takes action, I estimate that Xuandu Temple will also take action. Xuandu Temple has tolerated Tongtian Merchants for a long time. In this case, we must get some benefits. The most important thing is that Changsheng has offended Tongtian Merchants so much that only one of them can survive."

At this point, Yu Lao Mo shook his head helplessly: "Changsheng is a child with a stronger murderous nature than me. He doesn't understand that taking a step back will open up a new world."

Yu Jidao nodded in agreement: "Only my eldest brother could give birth to a killer like Changsheng, who can't stand any grievance. Big brother, I'm a little worried that Changsheng will not recognize you. After all, you still made them mother and son suffer some grievances."

"So, I have to give him enough compensation. He is my only child now and the one with the most hope of success."

Old Demon Yu can still give birth.

But he didn't think he could give birth to a child better than Ji Changsheng.

Moreover, he estimated that even if he had another child, with Ji Changsheng's methods, his younger brother would be strangled in the cradle.

After seeing Ji Changsheng's style of doing things, Yu Lao Mo has absolute confidence in Ji Changsheng.

So don’t waste your energy. The best option is to focus on cultivating Ji Changsheng.

"A hundred years later, I will ascend to the prehistoric fairyland, and Changsheng should have grown up. It should not be a delusion for my father and I to join forces and dominate this world for a thousand years!"

"Brother, we will definitely succeed." Yu Jidao was also ambitious.

…

Ji Changsheng naturally didn't know that his adoptive father had already considered everything for him.

He is now filing a complaint.

The master finally replied to his message.

This moved Ji Changsheng deeply, and he quickly reported his miserable experience to the abbot.

"Master, I have suffered, I have been greatly punished."

The master: “?”

Ji Changsheng squeezed out three tears and indignantly accused the atrocities of the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce: "Master, I came to Shengguo to do good deeds and accumulate virtues according to your will. I always uphold your teachings, recite your quotations every day when I wake up, and strictly follow the rules and regulations of Xuandu Temple..."

Before Ji Changsheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by the temple master: "Speak in a simple way."

Why does this kid speak official language so well?

It’s as if he had really been in the imperial court.

But Ji Changsheng's resume is very clean, and he has definitely never been in the Human Dynasty.

Could it be that he developed self-cultivation in heaven?

This thought flashed through the master's mind, and he didn't dare to think about it too much.

Ji Changsheng also interrupted his loyalty in time: "In short, my coming to Sheng Country is equivalent to the presence of you, the master, and I am just your incarnation. If Tongtian Chamber of Commerce does not give me face, it is equivalent to not giving you face. Tongtian Chamber of Commerce hired assassins from the Assassin's League to assassinate me, which is equivalent to assassinating you. The master of Xuandu Temple was actually assassinated by the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. How can this be tolerated?"

The master of the temple was very upset: "Are you sure you were assassinated by an assassin from the Assassin's League?"

Ji Changsheng said sternly: "The Absolute Sword Immortal has claimed the matter. What? Master, do you have a different opinion?"

The master of the temple: “…”

I am speechless.

At this time, Ji Changsheng was using "video call" with the temple master.

Don't doubt that a world with a cultivation system passed down for countless years would be unable to do such a thing.

Seeing the master being choked by him and speechless, Ji Changsheng suddenly had an idea and asked, "Master, do you use a sword?"

The master of the temple laughed: "I use a whisk!"

After saying this, the temple master took his whisk, and an immortal temperament emerged spontaneously.

After a pause, the master of the temple deliberately added: "My senior sister and I are best at using whisks."

Ji Changsheng smiled and said, "Master, I didn't ask Fairy Linglong what kind of weapons she is good at."

The abbot simply pointed at Ji Changsheng with his left hand and smiled without saying anything.

High-end game, high-end conversation.

Ji Changsheng was too lazy to get to the bottom of it.

Anyway, if the Absolute Sword Immortal was really one of the Linglong Fairy and the Master as he guessed, then he would not be a threat. If the other party did not want to tell him, he did not need to know so much.

But the next sentence from the temple master made Ji Changsheng think more: "Changxi is not in the mountain recently."

Ji Changsheng: "...Master, please don't scare me. Is my senior sister's cultivation level that high?"

He knew that Li Changxi had joined the Assassin's League, but he thought Li Changxi was just one of the eight gold medal assassins.

This is consistent with the level of cultivation demonstrated by Senior Sister.

But the master seemed to mean that he was too narrow-minded.

The master of the temple appreciated the look of surprise on Ji Changsheng's face.

This little guy always gives him "surprises".

He always has to get revenge.

So the temple master said with a smile: "It's hard to say, what if she is really the reincarnation of Taiyin Star Lord?"

Ji Changsheng: “…”

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to remind you of." The master continued.

"What's up?"

"There are eight senior brothers ahead of you, remember?"

Ji Changsheng nodded: "I remember, they all died miserably."

The master stroked his beard and smiled: "On the surface, he is indeed dead, but in fact, the body has not been found."

Ji Changsheng: "...The Soul Lamp? Is it still lit?"

The master of the temple shook his head: "No, it has been extinguished."

Ji Changsheng asked curiously: "Then what do you doubt?"

The master of the temple smiled and said, "I didn't doubt it before, but last time Changxi turned the magic mirror into a fake one in front of me, I thought of this. Yaoguang Luohuan is stronger than I thought."

Ji Changsheng: “…”

It seems very logical.

But he still remained skeptical.

"Is Fairy Linglong on the mountain?" Ji Changsheng asked.

This time the master was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Not sure."

"Um?"

"There is a sense of retreat from Senior Sister in the Xuanhuang Merit Pagoda."

"What are you unsure about?"

"Our lineage has a supreme secret skill that is related to the incarnation. However, such secret skills can only be practiced by those who have reached the True Immortal Realm. Senior sister... I am not sure if she is gifted to that extent."

Welcome to the exciting werewolf killing session.

Ji Changsheng pondered for a moment, then decisively gave up thinking.

"Master, I am not interested in the Assassin's League."

He is an assassin from the League of Assassins.

Although they haven't paid their respects to each other yet, in Ji Changsheng's heart, everyone is his own family.

You must follow in Yamagami-kun's footsteps!

Since he is one of us, there is no need to get to the bottom of it.

"I want to take revenge on the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce, Master. The Tongtian Chamber of Commerce actually dared to hire someone to kill you. I cannot tolerate this."

The master was speechless.

He felt he could bear it.

"The Immortal Jue Jian has come forward to claim the throne, and the evidence is irrefutable. No matter how eloquent the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce is, they must give our Xuandu Temple an explanation. Master, you are the head of our Xuandu Temple. Your face is related to the dignity of our Xuandu Temple and must not be taken lightly." Ji Changsheng said solemnly.

The master of the temple was speechless: "I don't think my face has been damaged."

Ji Changsheng patiently persuaded: "Master, I am your man. I have made contributions to Xuandu Temple and shed blood for it. You have to protect me."

The temple master directly exposed Ji Changsheng's lies: "The merits you have made are true, but the blood you have shed is false. You have only shed the blood of others for the temple. Every time you shed blood, it was an illusion."

Ji Changsheng: "...Master, is there no basic trust between us? How can you doubt my character so much? I am very sad."

The master of the temple was too lazy to pay attention.

Ji Changsheng argued: "Master, the opportunity is rare and will never come again. If you don't seize this opportunity, you will never get it again. Now our Xuandu Temple is leading the organization of the Xianmen Investigation Team to investigate the assassination of me hired by the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce. If the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce organizes the Xianmen Investigation Team first, the investigation will most likely be about your frame-up."

The temple master was so angry that he laughed: "When did I frame you? Changsheng, you did a very rough job this time. If the temple attacks the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce because of this, it would be too shameless and insulting to the intelligence of the people in the world."

"So what?" Ji Changsheng said in a deep voice: "Master, doesn't 'Ru Gou' insult the IQ of the world? Doesn't prepaying spirit stones insult the IQ of the world?"

The master was speechless.

Ji Changsheng was too lazy to continue pretending, and sneered directly: "When Tongtian Chamber of Commerce insulted the IQ of the people of the world, it didn't think it was ugly. I just gave them a taste of their own medicine. What's wrong with insulting them? I did it on purpose, and they just hold it in if they don't accept it. Master, I've finished what I'm saying, will you help me?"

Master: “…Help!”

Some book friends said that the protagonist's work was too rough, and it was indeed rough. But it was more enjoyable when it was rough. If the conspiracy was too ingenious, it would not be so enjoyable. What do you think? 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
