Chu Xiu didn't find Mei Qinglian's attitude strange at all. No matter how loyal the people of the Devil Cult were, they couldn't all be like the Phaseless Demon Sect. After such a long time since the Kunlun Devil Cult was destroyed, they were still so loyal and wanted to restore the Devil Cult.
The Darkness Demon Sect hadn't appeared in the pugilistic world for a hundred years. Now that Mei Qinglian was hiding by Guan Siyu's side, it was easy to imagine what she had experienced.
So this time, when Chu Xiu pretended to be the successor of the Devil Cult, he didn't plan to use his identity to get Mei Qinglian to help him like he did with Mister Lu.
Chu Xiu looked at Mei Qinglian and smiled. "Madam, you must be joking. The successor of the Patriarch Dugu doesn't need other people's help. I told you my identity because I wanted to tell you one thing. You and I are not enemies. We have a chance to work together."
Mei Qinglian looked at Chu Xiu with interest. "You can't even protect yourself now, and you're still talking about working together with me? You killed Wei Jiuduan and destroyed the Wei Clan. Do you know that because of you, the entire Guanzhong area almost fell into chaos? What do you have to work together with me? "
Chu Xiu said in a low voice, "Since Hallmaster Guan didn't send people to attack me immediately, it means that I still have a chance.
Moreover, I can guarantee that when it comes to the Torture Hall, the people on my side will definitely be the majority.
However, Hallmaster Guan's side will need you, Madam. Madam, you've been by his side for so many years. I believe that you'll have a great 'influence' on him.
In the Guanzhong Torture Room, with Hallmaster Guan's prestige, as long as he speaks, he'll have at least half the weight.
As long as I can get through this, the position of Guanxi Torture Officer will definitely be mine. "
Mei Qinglian raised her eyebrows and said indifferently, "You're quite confident. However, I want to ask, what will I get from this? Don't tell me you really think that I should help you for free just because you are a direct descendant of the Devil Cult? "
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Madam can get a lot of things, and that is my support.
I believe that Madam should be able to tell that although Hallmaster Guan dotes on Madam, the other Disciplinary Officers are somewhat dissatisfied with Madam.
They don't want a woman to meddle in the affairs of Guanxi. Once Madam shows any signs of doing so, they will resist and oppose you.
With my identity and the fact that Madam has helped me this time, I will definitely stand behind you in the future.
Helping me now is equivalent to helping yourself, Madam. "
Chu Xiu didn't ask what Mei Qinglian was plotting by Guan Siyu's side or what plans she had.
Sometimes, it was hard to be muddle-headed. Knowing too much was actually not good for oneself.
However, Chu Xiu knew that Mei Qinglian definitely needed to obtain a large portion of power in the Guanzhong Torture Room. However, she clearly didn't have this opportunity now.
Mei Qinglian was also present when the Guanzhong Torture Room was selecting people to participate in the God Weapon Conference.
At that time, Mei Qinglian was only a spectator and didn't even say a word. Even so, it still caused the other Disciplinary Officers and the head of the Disciplinary Officers to be somewhat dissatisfied. One could imagine how much resistance Mei Qinglian would face if she really began to meddle in the affairs of the Guanzhong Torture Room.
It had to be said that the martial world was actually somewhat unfair to women. Just like most aristocratic families and sects, although there were female disciples, other than sects like the Yue Nu Palace that were all made up of women, it was extremely difficult for the female disciples of other sects to meddle in the affairs of the sects. It was basically impossible for them to reach a high position.
After muttering to herself for a long time, Mei Qinglian suddenly smiled.
Most of the time, her expression was cold. Now that she smiled like this, there was a kind of coquettish charm.
"I finally know how you were able to reach your current position. It's not only because of your strength, but also because of your mouth. Your ability to bewitch people's hearts is really good. No wonder you're the successor of my Holy Church. "
Chu Xiu said calmly, "I'm not bewitching people's hearts. I'm just speaking the truth. Since we're all from the same Holy Church, there's a basis for cooperation.
However, I only believe in benefits. Without benefits, it's useless no matter what I say. Madam can bring benefits to me now, and I can bring benefits to you in the future. That's enough.
Back in Eastern Qi, Mr. Lu from the Phaseless Demon Sect helped me greatly. I didn't mistreat him either. Most of the treasures that Prince An Le's Residence has accumulated over the years have been taken away by the Phaseless Demon Sect. "
A layer of black fog bloomed around Mei Qinglian. She took a deep look at Chu Xiu and said, "I hope you can bring me benefits when the time comes."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mei Qinglian's figure disappeared into the black fog, completely disappearing.
Chu Xiu picked up the cup and drank the tea in it. He let out a long breath.
It was very tiring to deal with people at the Martial Dao Grandmaster level, especially when this person was a woman. Even Chu Xiu, who thought he had a good understanding of people's minds, couldn't figure out what a woman was thinking.
However, the identity of the Kunlun Devil Cult was relatively useful. Without this identity, Mei Qinglian probably wouldn't even have the mood to talk nonsense with Chu Xiu. She would just slap him to death.
However, at this time, Chu Xiu had a very strange thought. He had pretended to be a disciple of the Kunlun Devil Cult twice. If he continued to pretend like this, would he really become a member of the Kunlun Devil Cult one day?
At this time, in the Punishment Hall's headquarters, Mei Qinglian changed into a light blue dress. Compared to the red dress just now, she was more elegant and less aggressive.
She walked into Guan Siyu's study with a bowl of chicken soup. Seeing that Guan Siyu was still deep in thought, she put the chicken soup on Guan Siyu's table and walked behind him. She gently squeezed his shoulder and said, "Master, are you worried about Chu Xiu?"
Guan Siyu frowned and nodded. "I didn't expect Chu Xiu to be so bold. He actually dared to kill his superior. His reasons and excuses are also very ridiculous. Anyone can see that the Wei family absolutely has no reason to kill Wei Jiuduan. They also don't dare to kill Wei Jiuduan. "
At this time, Guan Siyu was really at a loss.
Although Chu Xiu had a clumsy excuse and sent people to dispose of the corpse to make it unrecognizable, saying that the corpse was damaged by the Stellar Energy during the fight, after careful consideration, Chu Xiu was still the most suspicious person. Severely punishing Chu Xiu would definitely not wrong him.
However, if he was severely punished, it would not be good for the Guanzhong Torture Room.
Chu Xiu's talent and strength were clear for all to see. He was in the top ten of the Longhu Leaderboard and had the strength to kill someone at the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm. In any sect, he was a person who could hold up the facade.
In the past, the Guanzhong Torture Room did not have such a person. Now, they did. However, according to the laws of the Guanzhong Torture Room, they had to be crippled or even killed. That would be a great loss for the Guanzhong Torture Room. Furthermore, outsiders would mock the Guanzhong Torture Room for being blind and so on.
It was not easy to be an iron-faced judge. In the past, when Guan Siyu had just taken over as hall master, he could cripple his own personal disciple without hesitation for the sake of the Guanzhong Torture Room's laws. But now, for the benefit of the Guanzhong Torture Room, he was not sure if he should kill Chu Xiu.
At this time, Mei Qinglian's hand, which was pressed on Guan Siyu's back, suddenly moved. A strange rhythm floated through the entire study. It was formless and silent. Guan Siyu did not sense it at all.
Mei Qinglian softly said, "Actually, it would be better if Master thought about this from a different angle.
Don't you know what kind of person Wei Jiuduan is? That old thing is greedy beyond measure. Although we have to rely on him to guard the Guanxi area all these years, he has tarnished the reputation of the Guanzhong Torture Room.
Wei Jiuduan's death does not affect the Guanzhong Torture Room at all.
But what about Chu Xiu? He is a talent of the younger generation of the Guanzhong Torture Room. Regardless of whether he is killed or crippled, the loss is the strength of the Guanzhong Torture Room.
On one side is a talent of the younger generation of the Guanzhong Torture Room, and on the other side is an old man who deserves to die. The choice is already very obvious.
We can even give Chu Xiu the position of the Guanxi torture officer and let him replace Wei Jiuduan to guard the Guanxi area. Chu Xiu has the strength and reputation. I believe he will do better than Wei Jiuduan. "
Guan Siyu closed his eyes slightly. He had always been full of energy, but now he suddenly felt a little tired and even wanted to sleep.
Narrowing his eyes, Guan Siyu said in a low voice, "But if we just let Chu Xiu be like this and even give him the position of the Guanxi torture officer, isn't it equivalent to destroying the laws of the Guanzhong Torture Room? And if we help Chu Xiu do something like this, I'm afraid he will go even more overboard in the future. "
Mei Qinglian smiled and said, "The laws of the Guanzhong Torture Room are to make the Guanzhong Torture Room stronger.
But right now, not punishing Chu Xiu can already make the Guanzhong Torture Room stronger. Since this is the case, why do we have to rigidly follow the laws of the Guanzhong Torture Room? Moreover, there is no direct evidence of Chu Xiu's death, right?
As for Chu Xiu, Master doesn't need to worry at all.
Wei Jiuduan is just a mediocre good-for-nothing, and he is greedy and greedy for power. That's why he died in the hands of Chu Xiu.
With Master's strength and status, are you afraid that you can't suppress Chu Xiu? "
Guan Siyu patted Mei Qinglian's hand and sighed. "Madam, you are still thinking of everything. I am old, and there are some things that I can't think of thoroughly."
Mei Qinglian gently squeezed Guan Siyu's shoulder and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Master, you are in the prime of your life. How can you be old? It's just that there are too many things to do in the Guanzhong Torture Room, and it has distracted you. It's a pity that I'm just a woman. I can only give you ideas in the dark, but I can't help you with your worries directly. "
Guan Siyu smiled and said, "I am already so old. How can I not be considered old? In the past, when I first took over the Guanzhong torture room, I didn't feel tired as easily as I do now. Forget it, go and rest first. We will see what others say tomorrow. "
