Seeing Mu Zixuan standing in front of him, Du Ruhui's face darkened. "Since when did Mr. Mu become so familiar with Junior Brother Ying?"
Mu Zixuan smiled and said, "This is called 'no discord, no concord'. Judging from your stance just now, could it be that you want to have a fight with Junior Brother Ying to improve your understanding?"
Du Ruhui replied coldly, "Mr Mu, you've misjudged me. Junior Brother Ying is an important guest of my sect. Why would I attack him?"
Mu Zixuan said, "That's good. I've heard a little about what happened just now. That woman is still unconscious, and the truth of the matter has not been verified yet. If Daoist Priest has confidence in dealing with your son, why don't you wait for a moment and let this woman confront your son? 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net

Mu Zixuan's words were casual, but her aura was as deep as the abyss. Du Ruhui did not dare to relax. He gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it. Wake her up and explain everything clearly. If my son has really done something evil, I will definitely hand him over to the authorities to deal with!" Du Ruhui's words sounded as if he was putting righteousness before family. Even if Du Duzhi really did force the courtesans to their death, they would not be convicted of a serious crime according to the law of the Tang Empire. If they were handed over to the government, they would be able to avoid the revenge of the Twelve Red Pavilions.
Ji Yaoyu could tell what he was trying to do. She looked at him coldly and mocked, "Master Du is indeed righteous. If that's the case, I'll thank you on behalf of the Miss who died in vain." Ji Yaoyu turned her attention to Du Duzhi when she mentioned 'the girl who died in vain'. Du Duzhi should have been enchanted by the beauty's gaze, but now he felt as if an invisible ghost claw was gripping his heart tightly. His legs went weak and he almost fell.
Ji Yaoyu then walked to Xueying's side and placed her hand on her wrist to take her pulse. However, her brows slowly furrowed.
"How is it?" Ying Feiyang asked. Ji Yaoyu rolled her eyes at him and did not answer. It was only when Mu Zixuan asked that she shook her head and said, "Xueying has a high fever and I'm afraid she won't wake up for a while."
Du Ruhui's expression relaxed, as if he was relieved, "I still have important matters to attend to, so I have no time to wait. Since that's the case, let's wait for her to wake up before going to the Shang Qing Sect to look for us." Then, he glared at Du Duzhi and said, "Evil creature, why aren't you coming with me?"
Just as he was about to leave, Ji Yaoyu suddenly twisted her feet and her clothes fluttered in the wind as she approached Du Duzhi.
Du Ruhui saw this and hurriedly activated the 'Burning Jade Heaven Divination Seal' towards Ji Yaoyu. However, Mu Zixuan took a step forward and coincidentally blocked Du Ruhui's path. At the same time, she sent a palm towards Du Ruhui. Du Ruhui's' Burning Jade Heaven Divination Seal 'was a combination of his early martial arts palm technique and Taoist palm mudra. It was the essence of his life's study. However, when the two palms met, he felt that the power of the opponent's palm was even more profound than his own.
His palms exerted force, and Du Ruhui actually gave a muffled grunt as he was forced to take a step back. Looking towards Du Duzhi's direction, he discovered that Du Duzhi and a few other servants were all lying on the ground, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive. Du Ruhui was furious and said, "What are you doing?"
Ji Yaoyu said, "Don't worry, it's nothing. It's just my 'Mi Luo Tian Xiang'." She signaled to Mu Zixuan.
Mu Zixuan sighed and said, "Alright, so many people have died here and it's related to the demonic ghost. It should be handed over to Si Tiantai to handle. I'll have to trouble Master to stay in Si Tiantai for two days and investigate the cause and effect." Ji Yaoyu made Du Duzhi unconscious and cut off the possibility of him destroying the evidence. Mu Zixuan used the excuse of investigating to bring Du Duzhi to Si Tiantai. Du Ruhui was helpless and sighed, "Do as you wish! But before that woman wakes up, if you dare to harm even a hair of my son, the Shangqing school will demand an explanation from you. Du Ruhui waved his sleeves and turned to leave.
Ying Feiyang threw Du Duzhi and a few servants onto the horse's back and led the horse away. He whispered to Mu Zixuan, "Senior Brother, Sister Yaoyu seems to be angry with me. Did I do something wrong?"
Mu Zixuan said, "Do you still remember the first sentence she said when she arrived?"
"Advising Jun Mo not to make such a dangerous attempt?" Ying Feiyang recalled.
"Do you think she said that to Du Ruhui?"
"Could it be to me?" Ying Feiyang's face changed. Mu Zixuan sighed and said, "Just now you intentionally hinted to Du Ruhui to kill you. It was indeed a dangerous test. You are not an idiot. Did you discover something by doing this?" “
Ying Feiyang nodded and said, "Just now in the Hu family, there was a little rascal who said 'Shangqing school loves to abduct beautiful girls the most'. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net

Combined with what happened just now, I suspect that someone in the Shangqing Sect is conspiring with Du Duzhi. The most likely person is Du Ruhui. "
Mu Zixuan frowned and muttered to herself, "Is this information leaked by the Hu Clan? The Shangqing school, the Hu family, the missing woman, and the death of Sima Chengzhen all happened at the same time. Could there be a connection between them? "
Ying Feiyang said, "I have the same conjecture, which is why I tested Du Ruhui."
"If you want to take the risk to test him, why drag my sister into it? If he really wants to kill, what do you think Yue 'er will do?" Ji Yaoyu's cold voice traveled over. Ying Feiyang's face reddened when he realized that his words had been heard by her. He immediately said, "I only dared to test the waters because I sensed your arrival. Besides, if Du Ruhui really wanted to kill me, I would protect Miss Ji even if it meant risking my life."
"Bah, who needs your protection!" Ji Yaoyue frowned and said coldly. Ji Yaoyu's cold face dissipated and she smiled like a sunny day, "You are indeed the disciple of a master. Your skill in coaxing women is really first-class. I believe you this time, but if you dare to take the risk again, I will not let you off easily!"
The group entered Luoyang. Mu Zixuan first handed Du Duzhi and the others over to Si Tiantai's people who came to pick them up and ordered them to keep a close watch on them. Then she sent the three women to the Twelve Red Pavilions and said, "If Miss Xueying's encounter was really related to the Si Tiantai, then this matter is not simple. It may even be the key to solving the mystery of Master Sima's death. Yaoyu, take care of her carefully. Don't let the news leak to avoid unnecessary trouble. Junior Brother and I still need to go back to Shangqing school. "
Ji Yaoyu also said affectionately, "Shangqing school is a dangerous place. You have also offended Du Ruhui. You must be very careful this time."
After bidding farewell to each other, the two of them set off towards Shang Qing Monastery. As soon as they stepped through the monastery's door, they saw Zhang Shouzhi coming out from the side, stretching his muscles and bones. Seeing that Ying Feiyang and Ji Yaoyu had returned, he asked, "The two of you are back. You have been out for more than half a day. Did you find anything?"
Mu Zixuan said, "I am ashamed to say that I did not find anything. I wonder if the few Taoist masters managed to find out anything from Reverend Duanfa's mouth when they were guarding him?"
Zhang Shouzhi said, "Let's not talk about it. This monk only knows how to recite scriptures and has a fake benevolent look. Right now in the monastery, he is the only one who has both the motive and the ability to kill my Master. In my opinion, he must be the murderer without a doubt. Mr Mu can just convict him directly. Why bother looking for other evidence?"
At this moment, Ying Feiyang said unhurriedly, "Master Zhang, earlier you said that the murderer must be He Guqiong. That seems to be you too. We understand that Taoist master is anxious to find out who the murderer is, but don't you think you are being too anxious?"
Hearing Ying Feiyang's words that had a hidden meaning, Zhang Shouzhi's countenance changed slightly. Immediately after, he said in a serious manner, "Master's tragic death has indeed caused I to lose my composure. Many thanks to Ying Shidi's reminder. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will really lose my mind due to anxiety and make a mistake!"
Ying Feiyang laughed it off and did not continue the conversation. Mu Zixuan said again, "I wonder who is guarding Reverend Duanfa now?"
"Now it is Sun Shidi's turn. Sun Shidi has been humiliated by the Black Cult. I only hope that he will not be ignorant and take this opportunity to take revenge on that monk, Duanfa."
After speaking for a while with a sense of probing, the dark clouds that had accumulated in the sky for a day finally accumulated enough moisture and started to drizzle. In addition, it was time for dinner, so Zhang Shouzhi brought the two of them to the canteen for dinner. Shangqing school had always had the habit of eating in the same dining hall. Other than Princess Yu Zhen and the Taoist nun who served her, everyone else, regardless of their status, ate the same meal in the canteen. However, today, Sun Changji and Du Ruhui did not come. Lü Zhixuan was expelled from the wall. At this moment, he could only sit in the guest seat with Ying Feiyang and Mu Zixuan. In addition, Sima Chengzhen, who was supposed to sit at the head of the table, was already dead. Without a few heavyweights, the canteen suddenly seemed much more spacious. Just as they picked up their chopsticks, they suddenly heard the sound of a flute.
The sound was faintly discernible, making it hard to fathom where it was coming from. At first, no one paid any attention to it, but the pitch of the flute became sharper and sharper. It was like the chanting of thousands of ghosts and the wailing of vengeful spirits. It made people's hearts rise and fall along with the pitch. When the pitch reached its highest point, it suddenly stopped. Some of the disciples with low cultivation actually felt that their blood was boiling. A few of the masters present also felt that something was wrong. At this moment, there was another heart-wrenching scream, the sound incomparably mournful.
"It's Junior Martial Brother Sun!" Zhang Shouzhi and Li Hanguang looked at each other and rushed out together. Ying Feiyang and Mu Zixuan also followed closely behind them, rushing towards Sun Changji's residence.
When they were still some distance away from Sun Changji's residence, suddenly there was a burst of crackling noise. The roof of Sun Changji's room was shattered. A figure wearing a monk's robe smashed a hole in the roof and rushed out. The figure's back was facing the crowd, so they couldn't see his face clearly. However, the figure's tall and sturdy build was exactly the same as Duanfa.
The figure did not stop and slid towards the house next to it. That house was the guest room that was previously arranged for Duanfa.
Seeing the figure entering the room, Li Hanguang said to Zhang Shouzhi, "You go and check on Sun Shidi's condition, I'll go and get him back!" Having said that, he did not wait for Zhang Shouzhi's reply and ran towards the guest room.
Ying Feiyang and Mu Zixuan also followed him. When they arrived at the guest room's courtyard door, suddenly a fiery red light appeared in their line of sight. The room was actually burning. The fire was burning extremely fiercely. Even though there was a fine drizzle, the flames did not seem to weaken at all. In the blink of an eye, the room's window lintel was already cracking under the flames. The heatwave, along with the pungent smoke, assaulted everyone's faces, forcing everyone to retreat.
