Saint Zhi returned to her own residence. She tried to foresee what would happen in the future with her ability of foresight, but every time she focused, a red sword would appear before her brow, as if it was going to stab her between her eyebrows!
Mi Qingqian shook her head helplessly.
That incident had left a shadow in her heart. It would be difficult for her to use her power of foresight in the near future.
She walked towards Mi Rong's balcony, wanting to tell her something.
As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he heard Mi Rong's laughter. Mi Rong was kind and honest, but she was not completely stupid and naive. Saint Zhi had watched Mi Rong grow up, but it had been a long time since he had heard her laugh so happily.
Saint Zhi saw Mi Rong chatting with a man as soon as he entered the courtyard. The man was gentle, elegant, and casual. His tone was completely different from most of the people who came to please and flatter her. It was natural and humorous …
Saint Zhi observed for a while.
The man was the one who stood up for Mi Rong and offended the Saint Leader Hua Chong at the table. He was also the Overlord of Loulong School, Zhu Qingzhuo.
Zhu Qingzhuo, Yang Bing, Li Wangshan, and the others had been staying in her residence, helping her to mediate the conflicts between the major clans. Xuan Ge was short of manpower, and they had been of great help. Little War God Yang Bing and the other Overlords had indeed played a key role in some situations that required the presence of the Righteous Gods.
Of course, during this period of time, Saint Master Zhi had gained some understanding of the Sect Leader of Building Dragon Sect.
This man had hidden his true strength very well. Even the Little God of War, Yang Bing, treated him as an equal and respected him greatly. As for the only time he fought, Saint Zhi only saw him summoning a colorful Heaven Slaughter Dragon, which was at least at the Divine Son level.
Demigods and Quasi Gods were the majority of the leaders of the Sacred Assembly, and those above the Deity's level could be counted.
Saint Zhi did not expect Zhu Qingzhuo to be a Deity.
Mi Rong was very friendly to the man, so Saint Zhi did not suspect anything. After all, the man had blocked the angry Saint Leader Hua Chong at the table for Mi Rong.
"Mi Rong." Saint Zhi walked over slowly and called out gently.
"Teacher! You're back. How's that God Liu? Is he dead or has he completely turned into a eunuch? "Mi Rong stood up and greeted him.
"The latter is more likely. The murderer probably hates Liu Shen to the core and wants to torture him slowly," Saint Zhi said.
"It would be a pity to let such a person die a quick death …" Mi Rong said.
Saint Zhi glared at Mi Rong.
Mi Rong stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to continue.
"I've told you many times," Saint Zhi said. "Even if you're unhappy with any god, you can't show it. Trouble comes from the mouth, and there are Contractual Spirits everywhere."
"I know. Teacher, do you have something urgent for me to do?" Mi Rong hurriedly changed the topic.
"There is something I need to confirm, but my intuition tells me that it might be dangerous. I need you to ask a few Saint Saints and Saint Emperors, and see if any of them have the time to accompany me," Saint Saint Zhi said.
"I've just told them about this matter. Including the Battle Saint, the other Saint Sovereigns and Saint Monarchs have all been assigned to important matters by our God. I'm afraid they won't be able to follow you. The experts of our Mi Estate are also dutifully doing their jobs. I can transfer a few of them back …" Mi Rong said.
Saint Zhi shook his head and said, "The official meeting is about to begin. They should stay at their jobs. Maybe I'm overthinking. I'm going with the people of Tian Shu Holy Universe. They should be able to protect me."
"Teacher, how can you do that? That Saint Leader Hua Chong's attitude towards you was so bad, and he couldn't wait to remove you from this meeting. How can you leave your safety in their hands? Let Yang Bing accompany you. Yang Bing is definitely more reliable than them! "Mi Rong said.
"Yang Bing has recently gained some enlightenment and plans to go into seclusion to cultivate for a few days. If Saint Master trusts me, I, Zhu Qingzhuo, am willing to accompany you and protect you." Zhu Minglang smiled and suggested.
"Yes, Brother Qingzhuo is also qualified for this position. Brother Qingzhuo is very powerful!" Mi Rong nodded immediately and agreed with the suggestion.
Saint Zhi hesitated. She looked at Zhu Minglang.
As a prophet, Saint Zhi's combat prowess was nothing to brag about. Saint Zhi did not like having warriors following him around, so he did not train too many experts in his residence. However, the Sacred Leader Assembly this time around made the number of people around Saint Zhi insufficient. It was difficult for her to find someone of Deity's level to accompany her in such an unexpected situation. After all, every Deity's level had their own people with them.
"But Overlord Zhu is still on the list of suspects in Tianshu Holy Universe," Saint Zhi said.
"I've offended the Saint Leader. I wouldn't be surprised if he put all the blame on me, let alone being on the list of suspects. However, this is Xuange Holy City, not Hua Chou Holy City. If Saint Zhi delegated everything to the Saint Leader, it would make things even more complicated. Now, all the leaders are angry. It's fine if the martial law lasts for a few days, but if it continues like this, they would rather go back to their own territories than come here to join in the fun of the Sacred Assembly," Zhu Minglang said.
Zhu Minglang had been under strict surveillance for the past few days.
Although he had a way to escape, if the Saint Leader Hua Chong wanted to find trouble with him, it would be hard for him to explain himself. Therefore, there was no need for him to give Hua Chong any leverage.
Zhu Minglang wanted to go out, so when he heard that the Saint Zhi needed someone to protect him, Zhu Minglang immediately volunteered himself!
"Many unpleasant things have happened recently. Moreover, this is the first time Xuange Holy City has convened a leader's Sacred Assembly. There are some things that cannot be done properly." Saint Zhi's eyes showed fatigue and helplessness.
"When I saw Hua Chong's attitude towards you the other day, I felt that he was not satisfied. This time, you will be in charge of the Sacred Assembly. Liu Shen's castration might have been done by him. He wanted to create a bad situation so that he could take away the power of the Sacred Assembly from you. So, Saint Zhi, you have to be more careful of your own safety," Zhu Minglang said.
"We can't rule out that possibility. Then, Overlord Zhu, thank you." Saint Zhi nodded. Naturally, he agreed with Zhu Minglang's suggestion.
"You're welcome. Actually, I just want to go out and get some fresh air."
"…" Saint Zhi could not help but smile. This Overlord Zhu was quite honest.
Since Liu Shen had been castrated, Saint Zhi had no one to supervise or protect him.
In fact, Mi Rong had told Zhu Minglang about this earlier. Mi Rong even had the intention to arrange for Zhu Minglang to be by Saint Zhi's side.
With Mi Rong's recommendation, the possibility of success was very high. After all, Mi Rong was very clear about the Saint Zhi's current situation. He had to maintain the order of the entire Fairy's Capital and guard against Hua Chong's aggression at the same time.
"Brother Zhu, please take good care of my master." Mi Rong winked at Zhu Minglang.
"Take it as compensation for hurting her vitality. I will definitely protect your master." Zhu Minglang said.
"That Liu Shen castrated him too well. He used to find all kinds of excuses to get close to my master. His eyes were like those of a rat that saw fragrant rice. It was so scary. I really don't trust someone like him to stay by my master's side." Mi Rong said.
"No matter what, I can finally go out openly." Zhu Minglang nodded.
…
Being able to come and go freely was secondary. The main thing was that Zhu Minglang was worried about the vicious castrator's safety.
For some reason, Zhu Minglang had a strong feeling that this was done by someone he was familiar with.
The righteous gods in Tian Shu were not easy to deal with. If Zhu Minglang did not have the righteousness of a righteous god, he would have been found out as the murderer of the Sparrow Wolf God as soon as he stepped into Xuan Ge Holy Capital.
The person who castrated Liu Shen did not show up at all. She used a method similar to Du Wenlong to castrate Liu Shen. However, there were still some clues. For example, how did she put Du Wenlong's teapot in Liu Shen's room? She must have had some contact with the embellished lady. Through these clues, he could find her.
Zhu Minglang was most worried about the castrator's situation. It would be best if he could get into the inner circle of the investigation and find out how far Tian Shu Holy Capital and Xuan Ge Holy Temple had gone. He could also help the vicious castrator escape at the critical moment.
"Lady Yu Suo, you really went too far this time!"
Zhu Minglang smiled bitterly.
Before he could do anything to Liu Shen, his sister-in-law had already made her move. Moreover, she was so vicious. Zhu Minglang did not know why, but he felt like he had just survived a disaster …
He used to tease her a lot.
How many times had he brushed past this castration???
From today onwards, he had to treat his sister-in-law with respect and fear!
…
…
At night, Zhu Minglang followed Saint Zhi to Xuan Ge Holy Temple.
Many people in Xuan Ge Holy Temple had been replaced by people from Tian Shu Holy Capital. They were obviously trying to erode Saint Zhi's control and were trying to take over all the people in Xuan Ge Holy Temple.
Saint Zhi also noticed this, but she did not choose to fight with Saint Zhi Chong. Zhu Minglang was not sure if she had other plans or if she was just too weak.
"Why is he here?" Saint Zhi Chong saw Zhu Minglang at first glance, and his face was filled with dissatisfaction.
"Liu Shen is injured, and I have no one to protect me. Therefore, I invited Lord Zhu to accompany me," Saint Zhi answered.
"He is the main suspect of Tian Shu Holy Capital. It is very likely that he is the one who killed Hua Dongming. How can such a person appear in our internal meeting?" Saint Zhi Chong was obviously very dissatisfied with Zhu Minglang.
"Saint Zhi Chong, please do not jump to such conclusions without evidence. It is an indisputable fact that Pang Lang, who flaunted Tianfeng, summoned a large number of leaders to stop Hua Dongming in the Vast Rainforest. The biggest suspect is Pang Lang. How can it be Lord Zhu? Also, can the people you sent really keep an eye on Lord Zhu? Instead of keeping him in my mansion, why don't you let him stay by my side and let me keep an eye on him personally? "Saint Master Zhi did not give in this time. Instead, he spoke in a more forceful manner.
