"No, no, no! I didn't hear a word! I didn't hear a word! "
Seeing this guy looking at him coldly with killing intent in his eyes, the man, Su Yun, quickly waved his hand and said.
"You didn't hear?"
Gongsun Zhang snorted and raised his hand, "You think I'll believe you?"
"Gongsun Zhang, what are you doing?"
Seeing this, Xiao Chuo immediately panicked.
"Master." Gongsun Zhang suddenly turned around and cupped his fists towards Xiao Chuo, saying solemnly, "Master, this matter concerns whether our Immortal Court can successfully eliminate the traitor and capture the thief. We cannot be careless, and the higher-ups have instructed us not to let outsiders know of this. If they do, we must eliminate them. I know that this person is Master's dual cultivation partner, and Master is reluctant to do so, but please consider the interests of the Immortal Court."
Gongsun Zhang said coldly, then waved his hand, and the other three immediately took out their magic treasures, as though they were ready to take action.
"Wait!"
In such a critical situation, Xiao Chuo naturally would not be negligent, and shouted again.
"What's wrong, Master Xiao?" Gongsun Zhang said in a low voice.
Xiao Chuo took out some bottles and jars, as well as many magic treasures, and placed them on the table beside him, saying, "Everyone, everyone, there's no need to rush to a conclusion. I believe that my dual cultivation partner, even if he heard something, he would definitely not say it, right? Come, come, you guys came at the right time. I have some pills and immortal treasures that I don't need, and I originally wanted to throw them away. Since you guys are here, take a look, is there any use for them? If you need them, feel free to take them. "
As soon as he said this, Gongsun Zhang and the others looked at each other, as though they were exchanging glances.
Seeing that, Su Yun immediately understood their intentions, and understood their intentions. Strictly speaking, the Immortal Court's search for the traitor was not considered a secret. If the Immortal Court really made a move on all the departments, it would be impossible to hide it. What they did was just an unnecessary move. Their real purpose was most likely to take the opportunity to extort money from Xiao Chuo.
From this, it could be seen that Xiao Ling's position as the Minister of Resources of the Immortal Court was not very high. Moreover, Xiao Ling was also a newcomer of the Immortal Court. It was not easy for him to sit in the position of the Minister of Resources. It had to be known that in a place like the Immortal Court, one not only had to rely on one's own position, one also had to have a wide range of connections. Su Yun did not think that Xiao Chuo had connections.
Xiao Ling also seemed to want to keep the peace. Since she had taken out the things, how could Gongsun Zhang and the others not buy it?
Gongsun Zhang took out a bottle, opened the cork, and sniffed the mouth of the bottle while saying, "Lord Xiao, I believe in your character, and I also believe in your vision. Although this person is not from the Immortal Court, as your dual cultivation partner, he must not be too bad. He will definitely keep his mouth shut. Even if we don't believe him, it's impossible for us not to believe in Lord Xiao, isn't it?"
As Gongsun Zhang said this, he quickly put those things into his bag.
Although their cultivation levels were not higher than Xiao Ling's, they were not under Xiao Ling's jurisdiction. Even if Xiao Ling was unhappy, it would be useless.
Just then, Xiao Ling suddenly brought over the immortal tea at the side, and smiled: "Everyone has worked hard, this is the immortal tea that I specially brewed, the tea leaves are bestowed by the envoy, drinking it can increase your cultivation by a few hundred years, I was originally going to take it out, but after talking to you guys, I forgot."
When they heard Xiao Ling, everyone looked towards the immortal tea in unison. The tea revealed a light green color and was suffused with a light green glow, causing it to seem extremely profound. Waves of tea fragrance floated up and drifted into the noses of everyone, causing them to feel relaxed and happy.
This color, this smell, one look was enough to tell that it was extraordinary. With such benefits, how could everyone not drink it? Immediately, all of them laughed as they received the tea and drank it in one gulp.
These fellows were the same as Su Yun, they did not know how to taste tea, they were all here for the benefits, the few of them gulped down the tea.
"Ha!" Gongsun Zhang let out a big breath, he smacked his lips, put down the cup, and cupped his fists towards Xiao Ling: "It is indeed a good tea, the taste is indeed different!"
"You're too polite!"
Xiao Ling smiled, but turned around, no one knew what she was doing.
"Alright, Lord Xiao, we have disturbed you for so long, it is time for us to take our leave. We still need to complete the mission given by the higher-ups as soon as possible, we will not stay any longer!"
With that said, Gongsun Zhang and the rest planned to leave.
But just as they were about to leave, their bodies suddenly went limp, and with a putong putong, they all fell to the ground. Their skin started to become extremely pale, without any color of blood, and the immortal qi surrounding their bodies also became sparse, and in a moment, it had disappeared without a trace.
At this time, Xiao Ling, who had her back facing them, finally turned around, but at this moment, she was still holding a sharp dagger in her hand.
Seeing that, Su Yun jumped in fright.
Those people also revealed looks of astonishment. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?
It seemed that Xiao Ling had already thought about it. She had done something to the tea, so when these people drank her tea, they naturally fell for it.
"Lord Xiao, what's going on?"
Gongsun Zhang struggled to get up, but he was powerless. His eyes were filled with fear, and he could only shout weakly.
"Is there a need to say more?"
Xiao Ling's face was cold, and she said indifferently: "Originally, if you guys came early and left early, nothing would have happened, but since you guys discovered his existence, then you guys can't be left alive."
Hearing that, Su Yun frowned: "Xiao Ling, is there a need to do this? I had already deceived them. "
"They are easy to deceive, but others are not. Gongsun Zhang is a person who only cares about profit, forgets about morality for the sake of profit, and his mouth leaks, if others find out that I have a dual cultivation partner, and is even an immortal from outside the Immortal Court, they will definitely be suspicious, and once it reaches the ears of the higher ups, they will definitely investigate, so I will definitely be in danger, and even more likely to suffer because of this, so, just in case, it is better to cut the weeds at the roots."
Xiao Ling said, and directly slashed towards Gongsun Zhang.
Puchi!
Puchi!
Puchi!
Puchi!
Four people in a row, all of them had their heads chopped off by her, blood splattering all over the ground. The headless corpses twitched a few times, and finally calmed down. One by one, their souls leaked out from the corpses, but before they could escape, they were captured by Xiao Ling's magic treasure.
Su Yun was dumbstruck.
He never thought that this woman would be so decisive, so ruthless.
"As expected of the Valkyrie, if it was any other woman, how could they have such a cold heart?"
Su Yun could not help but say.
"Are you saying that I am vicious?" Xiao Ling glanced at him.
"No no no, how would I dare, how would I dare …" Su Yun hurriedly waved his hands.
"Humph! In a deep pool like the Immortal Court, if I don't do things ruthlessly, I'm afraid I will die a horrible death. "
"…"
Su Yun couldn't find anything to say.
Xiao Ling took out a transparent porcelain bottle, and poured the pitch-black liquid on the bodies of these people. Their bodies were like boiling water, and started to bubble, it was very terrifying. After about five breaths of time, these people all turned into smoke and disappeared.
This method was very cautious, destroying the corpses and leaving no traces.
In such a short period of time, the few living people had completely disappeared without a sound. Seeing Xiao Chuo's swift methods, Su Yun even suspected that Xiao Chuo had done such a thing before.
"Gongsun Zhang and the others investigated you, and then disappeared. You killed them in your place, wouldn't that make people more suspicious? One day later, if Gongsun Zhang still does not appear, the higher ups of the Immortal Court will focus their attention on you, and you will be exposed. "Su Yun said indifferently.
"I won't!"
Xiao Ling took out her magic treasure again. It was a palm-sized wooden sculpture, a total of four, spread out on the ground.
She used the short blade that cut off the heads of the four people to draw a small array on the ground, and then placed the four wooden sculptures inside the array.
"Although I have only been in the Immortal Court for a short period of time, with your help, my position is getting higher and higher, and I have gained many benefits. The magic treasures rewarded by the Immortal Court are all high quality magic treasures, the poison that I made them consume, this short blade is, and these wooden sculptures are also. This short blade is stained with their blood, using their blood as a medium to draw the puppet array, and then using these wooden sculptures as a medium, I will make Gongsun Zhang and the others appear in front of people for a few days, and then disappear. This way, no one will suspect me, these wooden sculptures are all bestowed by the second rank envoys, they are very lifelike, ordinary people of the Immortal Court will not be able to tell if they are real or fake."
With that, she waved both her hands, and with a shout, the wooden carvings exploded into a circle of white smoke. After the white smoke dissipated, Gongsun Zhang and the other three once again stood in front of Su Yun, but at this moment, they were expressionless, as though they were shells without souls.
"Go out."
Xiao Ling said indifferently.
The four of them did not say a word, and turned to walk out the door.
Seeing that, Su Yun was worried.
"Will this work …"
"Are you … afraid of death?" Xiao Ling suddenly asked.
Su Yun was startled, and suddenly smiled: "This is a good question."
"Then are you afraid?"
"Afraid! Of course I am afraid! Very afraid! I can't die! " He said with a smile, but his gaze suddenly fell on Xiao Ling, and said softly: "But, I don't want anything to happen to you! I don't want to implicate you! Do you understand? If these puppets are really exposed, Xiao Ling, remember, you just have to keep quiet, I will rush out to protect you! Do you understand? "
Hearing that, Xiao Ling opened her small mouth, and looked at Su Yun in shock.
Probably, she did not expect Su Yun to say such a thing …
After a long time, she regained her senses, and her face revealed a smile that was more beautiful than a delicate flower.
"All these years … I've misjudged you. Today, I've finally seen you for who you are …"
