Jiang Shaoying was furious again.
He rushed forward, bowed with a dignified gesture, and said, "Why would the Immortal Master play such a shameful joke on my master? Is it intentional to humiliate him?"
Yu Tianji, this bastard, was already dissolute and wanton before, and now that he is the Immortal Lord, no one dares to discipline him, and he has become even more wanton. He actually kissed and touched his master like this, showing his ugly behavior, which is disgusting. He even used sweet words to say something like "sleeping together every night"!
"Young Hero Jiang, this is strange." Yu Tianji coughed lightly, and did not reprimand him in a condescending manner. He said slowly as usual: "How do you know that what I said to your master was a joke?"
"Isn't it?"
"This is definitely not a joke." Yu Tianji suppressed his smile and said, "This Immortal Lord speaks from the heart."
"Really?" Jiang Shaoying's eyes widened suddenly: "But the Immortal Lord is clearly going to marry the Immortal Sect's noble lady!"
He heard it clearly outside Juling Fairy Mountain. It was clear that Miss Wei had been forced by her father to prepare to marry him.
"That's not true." Yu Tianji spread his hands and said, "Who said I want to marry a noble lady from the Immortal Sect?"
"Everyone in Kunlun and other immortal sects knows about this." Xiao Ai also interrupted, "We just came back and heard the cultivators talking about it. They said that you, the Immortal Master, sent invitations to all the immortal sects, saying that you are still unmarried...so all the immortal sects will bring their daughters to be your guests, hoping to be favored by you."
Even Li Yuebai had to admit that these words were not rumors.
Yu Tianji wrote letters to various major immortal sects, and he could read them clearly from the side. The letters clearly hinted at marrying a noblewoman.
At that time, Yu Tianji said in person that marriage with other immortal sects could better expand one's own strength, and as for feelings, they were dispensable.
How come it changed in just a few days?
"I did say in the letter that I'm still unmarried, but I didn't say that I must find a beautiful woman at the Immortal Gate Conference." Yu Tianji smiled and said, "Besides, Lady Mu once taught me that if you don't have true love, why bother getting married? I have thought about it carefully these few days and decided to listen to her teachings. From now on, Lady Mu is the only one in my heart."
"..." Li Yuebai had never expected that his well-intentioned words of advice would lead to such a strange result.
Jiang Shaoying was still trying hard to digest Yu Tianji's words. He couldn't come to his senses for a long time. He was still confusedly thinking in his heart - if this was true, then Miss Wei from Juling Fairy Mountain had finally escaped the disaster.
No, it's good news that Miss Wei escaped a disaster, but what about Master? Will Master be forced to submit to Yu Tianji?
When he looked up again, he saw Yu Tianji smiling and personally serving tea and water to his master.
Well, no one would dare to offend the Master.
Li Yuebai didn't have the spare energy to care about these sincere or insincere things. After all, the most important thing was the subsequent plot development.
He first told Yu Tianji everything he had learned outside, and then began to inquire about Su Xu's situation.
When leaving Kunlun, Yu Tianji handed over the task of dealing with the Ji family to Su Xu. Now several days have passed, and I don't know what the progress is.
"This Immortal Lord knows how to appoint the right people to the right positions. Su Xu has done a really good job." Yu Tianji said with a smile, "If Lady Mu doesn't believe me, why not take a look at this bronze mirror."
He picked up a bronze mirror from the desk. The back of the mirror had an ancient and delicate pattern, while the front was clean and bright.
Li Yuebai was not unfamiliar with this bronze mirror.
When he just traveled through, Su Xu and others forced him to come out and lead everyone to resist the Demon Cult. At that time, Su Xu took out this bronze mirror, and the bronze mirror played the images of the Demon Cult slaughtering other immortal sects.
In other words, the bronze mirror is the video player in this world of cultivation.
Now, Yu Tianji moved his fingers, and a new "video" was played on the mirror again.
In the video, Su Xu was holding a long scroll with words densely written on it. When he read out the words, they were all the crimes of the Ji family, such as attempting to assassinate Yu Tianji, secretly having an affair with the Demon Cult, having a deal with Yu Tianliu and others, leaking Kunlun's internal secrets, embezzling Kunlun's treasures, etc. The evidence was varied and complete.
After Su Xu read out the charges, a group of monks standing behind him rushed forward, arrested the head of the Ji family and others, and put them in jail.
"Are you happy?" Yu Tianji blinked and looked at Li Yuebai as if asking for credit.
Li Yuebai certainly understood what he meant.
In the original plot, the Ji family was Yu Tianliu's loyal supporters. Together with Su Xu, they framed Mu Qingning in a similar way.
Now Yu Tianji took the initiative, not only to obtain the Ji family's property, but also to avenge Mu Qingning.
"Happy." Li Yuebai forced a smile.
In fact, if Yu Tianji had not done this, he would have advised Yu Tianji to do so. There is no mercy to the enemy, and there is no other way except to be ruthless.
But even if I won, I didn't feel very happy, I just felt sad.
"I'm afraid Su Xu is already very proud of himself now?" Li Yuebai said.
"He is already the de facto second-in-command of Kunlun, and he is very powerful. Everyone in Kunlun Mountain is very afraid of him." Yu Tianji smiled and said, "He is thinking about taking over the position of Jijiu immediately after you die."
"What the Kunlun monks are really afraid of is you, Immortal Master." Li Yuebai said, "You dare to attack a big family like the Ji family, how can others not be afraid? They all understand that Su Xu is just a tool of yours, a fox borrowing the power of the tiger to bully you."
"Really? I feel like I am the same as before, without any changes." Yu Tianji picked up the teacup and took a sip with a smile.
"Su Xu has obtained the power he wanted most, and now he can't wait to start taking revenge on his enemies and excluding dissidents." Li Yuebai speculated.
In the original plot, Su Xu has always been very quick in doing things and is unwilling to wait and procrastinate, especially when it comes to things like revenge, the sooner the better.
"Once the Ji family fell, it became easier to frame others." Yu Tianji shrugged, "All it takes is one sentence to say that someone is an accomplice of the Ji family, and then a large group of people will be implicated."
"You didn't restrict Su Xu?" Li Yuebai asked.
"Of course not." Yu Tianji said.
"Su Xu is so proud that he has no one to restrain him..." Li Yuebai said in a deep voice, "That is to say, I only need to investigate a little bit to get evidence of his crime and defeat him in one fell swoop."
"Master Mu, please do as you please." Yu Tianji said with a smile, "Do whatever you want. Just be happy."
Over the next few days, Li Yuebai lived in this warm snow cave. When he needed to go in or out, he would transform himself into a small puppet. With the help of his two disciples, he quickly obtained evidence of Su Xu's guilt.
Everything is ready for a miraculous resurrection from the dead.
Early that morning, the monks guarding the entrance of the Nuanxue Cave were surprised to see someone slowly walking out of the cave.
He was wearing a white robe, had white hair and a gentle demeanor. Although he was a little thinner, he was still very graceful.
"Master Mu... Master Mu?" The monks' eyes widened and they hurriedly saluted: "You... what are you doing...?"
Everyone knows that since Mu Qingning was sent to the Nuanxue Cave for recuperation, it means that he is already terminally ill and there is no possibility of him coming out.
During these days, the Immortal Lord often came to visit, and later on the two disciples also often came to visit, but no one saw Master Mu come out of the cave even once. He must have been too ill, bedridden, and unable to move at all.
Everyone was silently counting the days, waiting to see how long Master Mu could hold on.
In this life, Su Xu was busy with the Ji family and excluding dissidents, so he had already regarded Mu Qingning as a dead person. In addition, with Yu Tianji in charge, he did not deliberately spread rumors to damage Mu Qingning's reputation. Therefore, after defeating the Demon Cult, the monks of Kunlun generally respected Mu Qingning very much. When they learned that he was seriously ill, many people secretly mourned or gathered together to sigh.
No one thought that he could come back to life.
"No need to be polite." Li Yuebai coughed a few times and forced a smile: "Thank you for your hard work over the past few days."
“No, no, it’s not hard!” The monks said hurriedly, “Master Mu has recovered, which is a great blessing for Kunlun!”
"After recovering from a serious illness, it is better not to talk too much to avoid stressing yourself." A light laugh was heard, and Yu Tianji followed Li Yuebai out.
"Immortal Lord." All the monks saluted in unison.
"From today on, Master Mu does not need to live in this warm snow cave anymore." Yu Tianji said, "Come with me back to the Jixiang Palace to take care of some things first."
Li Yuebai had just recovered from a serious illness, so naturally he couldn't fly on the sword alone. Under the escort of everyone, he rode on the same sword with Yu Tianji, and returned to the Auspicious Palace in a moment.
Soon, doctors came one after another after hearing the news.
Outsiders were not allowed to enter the Nuanxue Cave, so Li Yuebai had to wait until he arrived at the Jixiang Palace before the doctors could come and take his pulse.
After the diagnosis, everyone was surprised and happy.
"I remember that I took the pulse of the Lord Jijiu many days ago and found that his pulse was weak." A doctor stroked his long beard and said, "I took his pulse again today, but found that his pulse was stable. I don't know why."
"Yes." The other doctors also exclaimed in amazement: "Could it be that this warm snow cave really has such miraculous effects?"
"Although the warm snow cave is good, it can only provide recuperation but cannot change the pulse." The first doctor replied.
"It's true." Li Yuebai had no choice but to explain: "The reason why I was able to recover is thanks to my two direct disciples."
Most of the monks knew Jiang Shaoying and Xiao Ai, and knew that they had been away for some time, but they had no idea that they had accomplished such a great deed, and they were all curious.
"Before the battle with the Demon Cult, I sent them out of the mountains to spy on the enemy." Li Yuebai said frankly, "When they completed their mission and returned, they received news on the way that I was seriously ill, so they did not return directly, but headed north to Tianshan Mountain."
Tianshan Mountain is located to the north of Kunlun. It is an extremely cold place and most monks dare not go there for fear of encountering unexpected events.
"By coincidence, the two of them actually found a rare treasure in Tianshan." Li Yuebai said.
"Could it be, could it be..." Everyone had a vague guess.
"Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus?"
"It must be the Tianshan Snow Lotus. Only this kind of divine object can greatly increase one's true energy!"
The Tianshan Snow Lotus is extremely famous, but its production is extremely rare, and it is difficult for ordinary monks to see it in their lifetime.
"Master Mu's illness is a deficiency of his true energy, and the Snow Lotus of Tianshan is the right one to replenish your true energy." The doctor clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Master Mu is indeed blessed by heaven."
"It was only after I woke up that I understood the cause and effect." Li Yuebai said with a wry smile, "My two beloved disciples put themselves in danger, which really makes me feel guilty."
"You can't say that. You have always devoted yourself to educating your disciples. It is only natural for them to repay your kindness." The doctors laughed.
After some polite exchanges, the story of the resurrection was accepted by everyone.
"System, do you think we are...troubled or not?" Li Yuebai complained secretly in his heart.
"It is quite troublesome." The system answered honestly: "In order to deceive Su Xu, such a big fuss was made... However, the effect is also quite obvious."
"Yes, if not, we can't defeat the Ji family and Su Xu." Li Yuebai said.
Soon, Su Xu received news from his confidant: Mu Qingning was not dead and had recovered as usual!
When Su Xu received the news, he was so shocked that he almost smashed the token in his hand.
After Mu Qingning woke up, didn't he have a chance to be the chief priest?
Immediately afterwards, he received the order from the Immortal Lord to go to the Auspicious Palace.
Su Xu calmed his mind and walked towards the Auspicious Palace.
He was sure that even if Mu Qingning came back, it would not be a big deal. Mu Qingning was gentle and kind by nature, and had always been tolerant to him. He would definitely not cause trouble for him as soon as he woke up.
And Yu Tianji also entrusted me with an important task. I have to complete it and live up to the trust without any conflicts.
Su Xu stepped into the Auspicious Hall, only to see that the usually empty hall was now filled with monks. They were all Yu Tianji's most elite personal guards, with Yu Tianji sitting at the top.
Below the Immortal Lord's seat, there was a desk with a soft cushion behind it. Mu Qingning knelt behind the desk as usual, bowing his head and reading the scroll on the desk. He was still dressed in white, with a gentle expression. His fingers were very steady as he turned the scroll, and he faintly exuded an aloof and inviolable aura.
