Chapter 573: Stealing the Longevity Curse
"Junior sister is back."
As soon as Ji Yaoguang came back, many disciples in yellow robes greeted her.
"Brother, where is my grandfather?"
She randomly grabbed a senior brother and asked.
"The headmaster and Elder Weng are in the back mountain."
When Ji Yaoguang heard that his grandfather was with the traitor, he ran to the back mountain.
In the back mountain, under a towering tree, there is a pavilion in the shade.
Sect Leader Ji is playing chess with Weng Ming.
Weng Ming seemed to be speaking casually, but in fact he was trying to find out: "The headmaster sent Yaoguang out these few days, and I don't know if this girl has completed her mission."
"Yaoyao sent a message back saying that she and Shen Wan hit it off right away and are getting along very well." Sect Leader Ji stroked his beard with a smile.
Weng Ming sighed, "I never thought that our Huaxia Xuanmen would produce a genius like Shen Wan. I heard that she was a direct disciple of Master Taixuan. Master Taixuan has been missing for twenty years. Who knows whether it is true or not?"
"By the way, I heard that Chen Wan is unruly and undisciplined. He went against Xiao Wenli in the ninth inning. Not only did he injure Xiao Wenli with his thunder magic, he also cruelly dispersed his soul."
"Master, do you know that Xiao Wenli is her uncle?"
"He can even kill his own relatives. This Chen Wan, tsk tsk!"
Ji Yaoguang ran over and just happened to hear Weng Ming saying bad things about Shen Wan.
She rushed forward and shouted, "Elder Weng has never met Wanwan, so why are you talking about her behind her back based on hearsay?"
"Have you seen her? Do you know her? And you're speaking ill of her right here!"
It was the first time that Weng Ming was scolded by a junior like her. He immediately looked embarrassed, "Yaoguang, I am doing this for your own good. Why are you -"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Shen Wan coming over.
Weng Ming's eyes darkened slightly, and he quickly changed his expression and immediately retracted his slanderous words, saying with a smile: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have believed everything I heard."
“This is Fellow Daoist Shen, right?”
Shen Wan ignored Weng Ming's 'friendliness' and walked towards Sect Leader Ji, "Hello, Sect Leader Ji."
Sect Leader Ji looked Shen Wan up and down, and when he saw her facial features, he couldn’t help but exclaimed, “Daoyou Shen has a really good face!”
"Yaoyao didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"
Chen Wan smiled and said, "No, A Yao helped me a lot. Thank you, Master Ji, for lending me the Lihuo Bronze Mirror and the Thousand-Year-Old Thunder-Struck Peach Wood. Chen Wan is grateful!"
Sect Leader Ji is a kind and amiable old man, but...
Chen Wan looked at his complexion calmly, which was shrouded in a layer of grayness.
That is a sign of serious illness and exhaustion.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, you have come from afar. It is truly an honor for our Huang School.” Weng Ming came over with a smile.
Shen Wan still ignored him.
Weng Ming suddenly felt a little embarrassed and winked at Ji Yaoguang.
Ji Yaoguang was so angry that she wanted to expose him right then and there, but her grandfather was here and she was afraid of hurting him, so she had to endure it.
"Wanwan, this is Elder Weng."
Shen Wan glanced at Weng Ming coldly.
She was not familiar with this person and had never seen him in the war in her previous life.
The Huang School is famous for its magic arrays and mountain techniques. Even if Weng Ming participated in the war in the previous life, he is probably the kind of villain who stabs people in the back.
However, when she saw Weng Ming, she suddenly had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
It's like the instinctive alert that suddenly arises when a person encounters danger.
This person is definitely not a good person.
"Grandpa, I have a lot to say to you!" Ji Yaoguang said deliberately.
Seeing this, Weng Ming said tactfully, "I have something else to do. You two can chat now."
As soon as he left, Ji Yaoguang quickly told his grandfather that Weng Ming was a member of the Blood Robe Cult.
After hearing this, Sect Leader Ji frowned and said, "Yaoyao, where did you hear that? How could Elder Weng be a spy of the Blood Robe Cult?"
"He has worked diligently in the Huang faction over the years and has done a lot for the Huang faction. How could he be a spy?"
"You must have heard it wrong."
Ji Yaoguang was anxious, "Grandpa, this is what Xu Jun from the Hua faction said after he used the mantra, it can't be false!"
Sect Leader Ji still didn't believe it: "Impossible."
"Although Elder Weng is the youngest among our Huang sect elders, his high level of cultivation and upright character are obvious to all."
"Grandpa doesn't doubt what you said, but he suspects that Mr. Xu deliberately framed Elder Weng."
"This is to cause internal strife in our Huang faction."
Ji Yaoguang was dumbfounded. She didn't expect her grandfather to trust Weng Ming so much.
"Yaoyao, don't forget that grandpa had a serious illness a year ago and almost died. If Elder Weng was really a spy, why would he risk his life to save me?"
"After I die, with his qualifications, it would be no problem for him to be the deputy head or even the head."
Shen Wan said, "What serious illness did Sect Leader Ji suddenly suffer from?"
Ji Yaoguang said truthfully: "Grandpa suddenly had a stroke a year ago and was paralyzed in bed. He couldn't move at all. We found many famous doctors, but they all said there was nothing he could do and asked us to prepare for his funeral."
"In the end, it was Elder Weng who saved Grandpa."
Shen Wan's gaze fell on Sect Leader Ji's face, thoughtful.
Sect Leader Ji knew what she wanted to say, and said with a generous smile: "I am aware of my physical condition. Elder Weng has tried his best to help me buy another year, which is enough."
Ji Yaoguang looked at the two of them in surprise and asked in shock, "What do you mean by fighting for an extra year?"
"Isn't Grandpa already well?"
“Could it be…”
Sect Leader Ji sighed, gently stroked his granddaughter's hair, and said kindly: "Yaoyao, you have grown up, it's time to tell you the truth."
"A year ago, my grandfather was about to die. It was Elder Weng who dragged me back from the brink of death. He used forbidden techniques and managed to extend my life by a year..."
"Grandpa is almost at the end of his life. It will only take a few days."
Ji Yaoguang's eyes suddenly turned red, and she shouted in disbelief, "No, that's not the case!"
"Grandpa clearly still has seven or eight years left to live, how could it be possible that he only has a few days left?"
"Grandpa, you are lying to me, aren't you!"
"Wan Wan!" Ji Yaoguang looked at Chen Wan, "Grandpa is lying, right?"
Chen Wan said truthfully: "Your grandfather didn't lie to you. He looked pale and exhausted, as if he was running out of energy."
Ji Yaoguang's legs went limp and she almost collapsed to the ground. "I don't believe it!"
Sect Leader Ji comforted his granddaughter, "Silly girl, this day will come to everyone."
"I won't!" Ji Yaoguang collapsed and said, "Grandpa is the only relative I have left. If you're gone too..."
Sect Leader Ji's eyes were moist. He also wanted to stay with his granddaughter until he helped her become the sect leader.
Can……
well!
When the two were feeling sad, they heard Shen Wan speak faintly.
"Master Ji was hit by a life-stealing curse, which shortened his lifespan."
"What?" The two looked at Shen Wan in shock.
Ji Yaoguang was surprised and delighted and said, "So, grandpa's life was stolen by someone, not that his life span has really come to an end?"
