Chapter 183: Investigating Suspects, Words Only Women Can Talk About



Shen Zhuo didn't say anything. Only he knew how nervous he was while waiting for her answer.

I was afraid that she would say that she didn’t like the magic cultivator, and I was afraid that her inner thoughts were the opposite of what she said.

But no, she gave him the Nine-Bend Yellow Spring Map because she trusted him and believed that he would not harm innocent people.

Since she believed in him, he would do it. He would fulfill every requirement she wrote in the guidelines for getting along with unmarried couples.

As for whether he was getting too into the role, he felt that it was obvious enough, but he just couldn't let her get into the role.

He had clearly heard her inner voice just now and knew that she did not envy other Taoist couples who practiced dual cultivation, but he could not help but want to tease her.

"Little Rabbit is right. As Awu's fiancé, how can I let Awu envy others? If Awu wants to practice dual cultivation with me, she only needs to say one word and I will be ready anytime."

Yu Xingwu's cheeks flushed with heat. She glared at the little rabbit in her arms and quickly explained: "It's not me, Senior Brother! I don't envy Feng Qingxue and her Taoist partner!"

"I wanted to check the matter of Jian Sui, and then I found out that Feng Qingxue and Meng Shuyao were practicing together. I really don't envy them. Don't listen to what the little rabbit says!"

Little Rabbit: "They say women should be listened to the other way around. I can see that my sister is too embarrassed to admit it. Brother, just know it in your heart!"

System: "It has to be a little rabbit! Whether the host can have a bite of meat depends on you!"

Yu Xingwu was overwhelmed and stopped explaining. With the rabbit around, there was no way she could explain it clearly.

Whatever he wants to think, he can think it! Besides, isn't her character just to be his bootlicker? What else is there to explain?

Shen Zhuo smiled lightly and said, "I'm just kidding. I know you don't envy others, but I'm serious about what I say. You can do it anytime you want."

Yu Xingwu: "..."

[If you want to eat the pill, just say it louder and I will help you at any time.]

Shen Zhuo: "..."

An hour later, the entire Feng family was in an uproar.

When the formation collapsed, the disciples of the Feng family noticed it, but they didn't know what had happened.

Just as Yu Xingwu thought, after Feng Chen’s spirit returned to his body, he went to the Feng family’s meeting hall.

Feng Xiao and the elders of the Feng family also learned from Feng Chen that Jiang Ruoshui was secretly practicing magic and set up an array to try to trap Feng Chen's consciousness.

He also learned from Feng Chen that there was someone else who killed the Feng family disciples.

Yu Xingwu knew that the reason why Feng Chen told the truth was, firstly, he wanted to test Feng Xiao's reaction, and secondly, he had to let the Feng family disciples know that the evil cultivator was still there and no one should be careless to avoid losing their lives.

Upon learning that there was a demon cultivator in the Feng family, Feng Xiao and the other elders were shocked.

In addition to Feng Beicheng, who practiced magic in secret and did not kill anyone, and Jiang Ruoshui, who also practiced magic but did not harm his disciples, the Feng family has already produced two magic practitioners, and there is actually a third one. How can this not be shocking?

Feng Chen didn't notice anything unusual in Feng Xiao's expression. In anger, Feng Xiao even smashed the armrest of the chair with one palm, which showed that he hated those who practiced magic in secret. He ordered a thorough investigation of the entire Feng family again.

After the meeting, only Feng Chen and Feng Xiao were left in the hall. Feng Chen gently stroked the Taiyuan Sword in his hand, and seemed to fiddle with the purple sword tassel tied to the sword head unintentionally, which attracted Feng Xiao's attention as he wished.

"Chen'er went to Wanwu Hall to receive the sword tassel. As a member of the Feng family, you should always wear the sword tassel of our Feng family."

"Now that Jiang Ruoshui is dead, Chen'er should go back to the Feng family more often in the future. With the First Sword Master in charge, the Feng family will be able to gain a better foothold among the hundreds of immortal families."

Feng Chen nodded slightly, his voice as calm as ever: "Uncle is right, I will come back to the Feng family often in the future."

After saying that, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then casually said, "That night when I went to collect the sword tassel, I saw my uncle's name was also in the record book."

"It seems that uncle has been practicing swordplay a lot recently. Even the tassel of the sword has become worn out. If all the disciples of the Feng family were like uncle, they would not have to worry about not being able to comprehend the meaning of the sword."

Feng Xiao laughed heartily, put his sword on the table beside him, pointed at the brand new purple tassel on it, and said with a smile: "The previous tassel was not worn out by sword practice."

"Ever since your father passed away, I've been sitting in this position, busy all day, so I don't have time to practice swordplay."

"The previous sword tassel was worn for several years. It became worn out after a long time, so I replaced it with a new one."

Feng Chen observed Feng Xiao's subtle expressions when he spoke, but did not notice anything unusual, nor did he continue to ask. After all, if he continued to ask, his purpose would become very obvious.

After returning, he also told Yu Xingwu the reason why Feng Xiao changed the sword tassel.

After all, he is his uncle, and Feng Xiao doesn’t behave strangely. Feng Chen’s suspicion is reduced by half. He doesn’t believe from the bottom of his heart that the person who cultivates magic is Feng Xiao.

So, he ordered Yu Xingwu and others to check Feng Qingxue and Meng Shuyao carefully.

It was two days later that Yu Xingwu saw Feng Qingxue again.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: [I really can't believe that Meng Shuyao, who has the air of a scholar and is weak and gentle, can practice with him for three days and three nights and last quite long.]

Inside the hall, Feng Chen, Ye Su and Shen Zhuo, who were able to hear the inner voice, all had strange expressions on their faces, and some even coughed lightly at the same time, probably because they did not expect to suddenly hear such inner voices.

Feng Chen: Listen to what shameful words these people are saying. What is going on in her mind?

Ye Su: His frail appearance has nothing to do with how long he has been practicing dual cultivation. It’s just what Junior Sister is concerned about… That’s right, Junior Sister is still young, so it’s normal for her to be curious about dual cultivation.

Shen Zhuo: Is three days and three nights considered long-lasting? Isn't it a bit short? But she sighed like this, is she sure she is not envious of others?

Feng Qingxue came alone. Before coming, he had already learned about Jiang Ruoshui from the disciples of the Feng family.

As soon as he came in, he grabbed Feng Chen's arm and said, "Brother, it's all my fault. A Yao and I clearly went to the back mountain that night. If A Yao and I had left a little later, your spiritual consciousness wouldn't have been trapped in the formation by that bitch Jiang Ruoshui!"

"Brother, are you okay? I hope you didn't let her succeed! It would be a relief for her if she died like this! She seduced A Yao and I haven't even settled the score with her yet!"

Feng Chen's expression was cold, probably because he didn't want to mention Jiang Ruoshui.

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become awkward, Yu Xingwu hurriedly said: "Little Master, don't worry. Master is fine, and no one has succeeded."

Feng Qingxue felt relieved after hearing this.

After all, she was his biological sister. Rather than testing Feng Xiao, Feng Chen asked directly: "I went to the Wanwu Pavilion to get the sword tassel and saw your name on it. Your sword tassel has been replaced with a new one."

Feng Qingxue was stunned for a moment, somewhat confused: "Why did you suddenly mention this, brother?"

"I don't know where I lost my previous sword tassel, so I went to get one. Brother, you won't accuse me of being forgetful again, right?"

"It's just a sword tassel. If it's lost, it's lost. Even if someone picks it up, that person can't pretend to be me. Brother, don't try to lecture me with a sword tassel. I won't listen!"

Yu Xingwu carefully observed Feng Qingxue's expression and could not imagine that such a straightforward person would practice magic in secret.

But Feng Qingxue said that her sword tassel was lost, so her suspicion could not be ruled out.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the person who lost the sword tassel was Meng Shuyao.

But when Feng Chen asked, Feng Qingxue said that she was the one who lost it. After all, it was Feng Qingxue who received the sword tassel. It made sense for two Taoist partners to say that the other person's lost things were their own.

Afterwards, Feng Qingxue talked to Feng Chen about the matter of demon cultivation, and there was also no unusual expression on her face.

It was getting late, and just as everyone was dispersing and Feng Qingxue stood up and walked out, Yu Xingwu followed her.

With her signature smile on her face and a hint of shyness, she said to Feng Qingxue in a low voice, "Uncle Junior Master, can I chat with you? I want to ask you a question?"

Feng Qingxue looked at Yu Xingwu and had long known that her brother doted on his little disciple, so naturally she loved the whole person as well.

Xiao Yu: "What do you want to talk to me about? What questions do you want to ask? Is there anything that our First Sword Master cannot teach you, so you come to ask me, your junior uncle~"

After saying that, he looked at Feng Chen provocatively, as if to say - look, brother, your disciple comes to me to ask questions, but doesn't even ask you, the master!

Feng Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. Ye Su, Shen Zhuo, and Bai Ran and Jiu Qing who had not left yet, all looked at Yu Xingwu curiously, wanting to know what question she wanted to ask Feng Qingxue.

But I wanted to take advantage of the conversation to find out more about the sword tassel.

But Yu Xingwu said shyly: "Yes, these are some words that only women can say, such as Taoist couples, such as dual cultivation! I can't ask Master about this!"
