Immediately, Hei Bai Wuchang personally led the team and escorted Li Nianfan back to the mortal world.
Along the way, Gao Yue was somewhat relieved. At the same time, her beautiful face was slightly wrinkled, and she looked like she had a lot on her mind.
Li Nianfan asked curiously, "Miss Gao, did your father say who killed him?"
Gao Yue shook her head and said in distress, "It's confirmed that it wasn't Ah Niu, but we still don't know who it was. However … it's obvious that they came for the Immortal's Relic in Gao Village."
"Is that so?"
Li Nianfan raised his eyebrows and pondered for a moment. He felt that now was the time to give her some advice, so he said, "Miss Gao, do you have a suspect?"
"Suspect?"
Gao Yue frowned and shook her head, "Too many people have come recently. I really can't think of who did it."
Li Nianfan hinted, "Actually, as long as you figure out the other party's motive, it's very easy to guess."
"Motive?"
Not to mention Gao Yue, even Hei Bai Wuchang was confused.
The words of an expert were profound, and not something that ordinary people could understand.
Li Nianfan continued, "Simply put, it's a benefit. Think about it carefully. Since they wanted to kill Master Gao, why do they have to do something superfluous and frame the bull demon? Who benefits the most?"
"Who benefits the most …"
Gao Yue pondered, and her eyes revealed a thoughtful look. She was originally extremely intelligent, and now that Li Nianfan pointed it out, she suddenly thought of a lot.
She whispered, "Young Master Li means … the person who killed my father is someone around him?"
Yes, if it was an immortal cultivator from the outside world, there was no reason to frame the bull demon. Most likely, they were not interested in the love and hate entanglement between her and the bull demon. And the most direct result of framing the bull demon was … her relationship with the bull demon would be broken!
As for the biggest beneficiary, naturally, it was …
Sun Yun!
Gao Yue's mouth opened slightly, and she hurriedly raised her hand to cover it. Her eyes widened, and there was a luster of disbelief in them.
Sun Yun had been trying to curry favor with Gao Yue, and he did not hide it. Everyone could see his purpose, and at the same time, he also expressed this in front of Master Gao.
However, at that time, Gao Yue was only thinking about the bull demon, and Sun Yun had no chance at all.
Gao Yue still found it hard to accept. She said, "No way. Young Master Sun is the young master of Clear Spirit Mountain. He is warm-hearted and has suppressed many ambitious cultivators for Gao Village. My father even persuaded me to accept him. Why did he kill my father?"
Li Nianfan's tone was indifferent as he continued, "Miss Gao, Sun Yun's target may not be just you. He may have other targets as well. He may have helped you block the other cultivators, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have any other intentions."
Gao Yue's face changed slightly, "Young Master Li means that he is also for the Immortal Relics? This … "
If Li Nianfan had said these words before, Gao Yue would not have believed it, because she had always regarded Sun Yun as a good person. Moreover, Qingling Mountain had always protected Gao Jiazhuang. How could a mortal suspect an immortal?
The culprit behind the scenes had actually changed from a demon … to an immortal?
This was … too much of a reversal of his worldview.
The Black Impermanence directly said, "Hehe, what's there to think about? Can the Lord Saint's words be wrong? Just listen to him! "
Bai Wuchang also quickly added, flattering, "The Lord Saint's analysis is reasonable and insightful. Obviously, he has already seen through everything. Amazing, really amazing!"
This wave of forced flattery made Li Nianfan very embarrassed, but he couldn't slap his own face. He could only remain silent, appearing unfathomable.
Black Bai Wuchang sensed that this was an opportunity for him to show off, so he immediately said, "If the Lord Saint is troubled, we can take action and draw out Sun Yun's soul. This person has wild ambitions. His death is not to be regretted!"
Li Nianfan pursed his lips and hurriedly stopped him, "That's not necessary. Let's talk about it after we have solid evidence."
"Persuading people with reason, the Lord Saint is really a role model for our generation!"
"The Lord Saint is wise and magnanimous!"
Black Bai Wuchang flattered again, making his heart feel incomparably comfortable with a smile on his face.
Fortunately, he had been diligently studying the path of licking recently and had made some progress. The Lord Saint must be very pleased.
Unfortunately, he was still stuck at the licking stage. He still needed to work hard. When he could invisibly lick, then he would be considered a great success.
Gao Yue was stunned at the side. She was stunned and disgusted.
I didn't expect you to be such a Black Bai Wuchang …
At the same time.
Inside the Gao Family Village.
Sun Yun and the others were gathered together. At the front stood an old man. The old man's expression was uncertain, and he seemed to be a little disappointed.
He said resentfully, "Yun 'er, you've disappointed me too much! You're just a little bull demon. Can't you do such a small thing? "
Sun Yun said bitterly, "Father, I didn't want to do this either. Who would have thought that halfway through, someone would come up with a theory of dividing the male and female of the bull's horns? I was so close!"
According to the original plan, the bull demon should have become the scapegoat. Then, he would take the opportunity to comfort Gao Yue's hurt heart. He would be gentle and considerate with flowery words and win the beauty's heart. From then on, he would become the Gao Family Village's son-in-law.
As for the Gao Family's Immortal's Relic, once he became the Gao Family's son-in-law, he would be able to find the Immortal's Relic. It was a good way to have the best of both worlds.
Unfortunately, the plot did not go according to the script. It was very sad.
The old man scolded, "Trash! You're all trash! You can't even find a bull's horn. What use do I have for you? "
Everyone was frightened. They lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
The old man sighed and said worriedly, "Once the bull demon's innocence is proven, then we'll be the prime suspect!"
"Master, the bull demon is still imprisoned. Why don't you let me go … Ka!" One of them made a beheading gesture.
"Ka your head! If we kill the bull demon now, isn't that the same as confessing without being pressed? "
The old man was very disappointed with his disciple's intelligence. He shook his head and said, "This plan won't work. We'll have to think of another plan. According to the information I've received, Zhu Bajie must have left something in the Gao Family Village. However, he usually doesn't show it. If we want to force him to reveal himself, the fastest way is to … massacre the Gao Family Village! However, this plan is very important. We need to think about it at length! "
Sun Yun said hatefully, "It's all because of that pair of siblings who ruined my plans. We can't let them go!"
The old man suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, you said that the pair of siblings have a fortuitous opportunity with them?"
Sun Yun nodded and said, "Definitely! It can let a small itinerant immortal enter the Golden Core Stage or even higher at such a young age. The fortuitous opportunity is not small! "
The old man's eyes flashed coldly. "Then we can't let them go no matter what!"
At this moment, a disciple hurried in and knocked on the door.
The old man frowned. "What's the matter?"
The disciple immediately said, "Reporting to Sect Leader, that little girl went out alone. She walked out of the Gao Family Village and is strolling outside."
"Oh? What I said really came true! This is good news. "
The old man smiled coldly and said casually, "Send two Nascent Soul Stage disciples to her. Remember, I want you to do it secretly and make sure nothing goes wrong!"
"Yes, Sect Leader!"
Immediately, two people volunteered themselves. "This is simple. It won't take much time. You wait here. We'll be back soon!"
Before they finished speaking, they impatiently turned into streaks of light and flew out.
At this moment, Nanna had already arrived at a mountain forest twenty miles away from the Gao Family Village.
The terrain here was undulating with a few low hills. There were few traces of people.
She was sitting on a big rock in boredom, swinging her little feet and said in distress, "Why hasn't anyone come to Clear Spirit Mountain yet? Could it be that my fishing has failed again?"
"Eh? Wait, the fish seems to have taken the bait. "
Nanna looked at the distant horizon. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl into a smile as she waited quietly.
Not long after, two streaks of light arrived as scheduled. They were two middle-aged men. When they saw Nanna, their eyes lit up and they looked down at Nanna condescendingly.
One of them sneered, "Little girl, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. This is the wilderness, and you're all alone. How dare you play here!"
Nanna looked at the two innocently. Blinking her big innocent eyes, she asked, "Why? Do you want to rob me?"
"Rob? Hahaha, wahahaha … "
The two laughed wildly at the same time, their eyes full of ridicule. "You're right! We're very interested in the great opportunity you've encountered. Hand it over obediently, and we might spare your life! "
Nanna rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "How about this, let's play a game. If you can catch up with me, I'll tell you."
"Little girl, you're about to die and you still want to play. Fine, I'll fulfill your wish."
One of them said coldly and disdainfully, "Run, run as much as you want!"
"Hee hee hee, come on, catch me!"
Nanna giggled. Clouds appeared under her feet and she flew in a direction.
"Chase!"
The two middle-aged men didn't even think. Like wolves that smelled meat, their eyes turned green and they chased after her.
However, as they chased, they realized that Nanna's speed was not much slower than theirs. It was extremely difficult to catch up with her.
Most importantly, no matter how fast they exploded, they always maintained a distance that was neither too far nor too close. This was very thought-provoking.
One of the middle-aged men couldn't help but frown. He took a closer look at Nanna and his heart raced. His scalp was numb and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
His companion couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
"She, she, she, she!"
The middle-aged man's lips trembled and he stuttered as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world. He looked like he was about to cry. "She seems to be riding on … on clouds!"
Riding on clouds was something that only immortals could do.
His classmate shuddered. He was so engrossed in the chase that he didn't notice. When he turned around, he felt a chill run down his spine and he gasped.
This little girl wasn't a Golden Core cultivator or an Original Soul cultivator, but an immortal?!
How, how … how was this possible! How could this be?!
We actually chased after an immortal for half a day?!
We're doomed, we're doomed!
Their minds went blank, and there was only one word left in their minds — run!
However, just as they turned their heads, they realized that Nannan had appeared behind them without them noticing. She was looking at them with a smile.
"Nonsense! Why aren't you chasing? "
"I didn't recognize the fairy. Fairy, please spare my life. Fairy, please spare my life!"
The other person was a little calmer. He knew that it was useless to blindly beg for mercy, so he said in a trembling voice, "Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding! Fairy, we're disciples of Clear Spirit Mountain. Our grandmaster is also an immortal. Now he has entered the Heavenly Palace and become a patrolling heavenly soldier. We're on the same side, fairy. "
"Heavenly Palace? Using a mere heavenly soldier to suppress me? "
Nanna curled her lips and looked at her little palm. She smiled and said, "Since you're not chasing, let's change to another game. If you can take one of my palms, I'll let you go!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she gently raised her hand, then gently stretched it forward and pushed it horizontally!
Boom!
Like a violent storm, the powerful mana storm was like a bulldozer, crushing everything in its path. Everywhere it passed, everything was turned into dust.
Even the mountain not far away was swept aside and erased!
"Oh, I used too much force and destroyed the environment again."
Nanna stuck out her tongue. "Fortunately, my brother didn't see it. Escape, escape …"
Half an hour later.
The master of Clear Spirit Mountain personally appeared at the scene of the incident. Looking at the mess on the ground, his face was gloomy.
"It seems that there's a master behind that little girl. Maybe he's already an immortal! His purpose of coming here is most likely for the relics of Zhu Bajie! "
The old man's eyes flashed, and his brain worked quickly. "It seems that this matter must be reported to the grandmaster!"
…
In Li Nianfan's room.
"Was it really the disciples of Clear Spirit Mountain who attacked you?"
Gao Yue took a deep breath and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. "I didn't expect them to do this kind of shady business!"
"The disguise on the surface is just to win people's trust and better achieve their goal."
Li Nianfan had long been used to this kind of hypocrite. He looked at Nanna in surprise and frowned. "Are you sure that the grandmaster of Clear Spirit Mountain has become a heavenly soldier?"
Nanna nodded. "I definitely didn't hear wrong."
That's difficult.
Why else would they say that everything has to depend on the background?
If he acted on his own and didn't inform the Jade Emperor, then he wouldn't give face to the Jade Emperor. Although a heavenly soldier didn't mean much, it was still a divine position and represented the face of the Heavenly Court.
Li Nianfan muttered, "I don't know if that grandmaster was involved in the matter of Gao Jia Village."
"It doesn't matter if he was involved or not. At the very least, this guy has to bear the sin of not teaching his disciples well! Lord Sage, you don't have to consider the feelings of the Heavenly Palace. I, Old Black, will now go and find out who the grandmaster of Clear Spirit Mountain is and directly hook his soul! "
Hei Wuchang rolled up his sleeves and couldn't wait to show off.
Damn, I'm excited to be able to share the worries of the expert. This is the value of my existence!
"No, I still have to inform the Heavenly Court about this matter."
Li Nianfan naturally didn't want to be estranged from the big shots because of a small matter. Everything had to be done carefully. He said, "Also, we have to think of a way to determine whether this matter has anything to do with the grandmaster of Clear Spirit Mountain. We can't wrongly blame a good person."
"Convincing people with reason and thorough consideration. Lord Sage is really a role model for our generation!"
"Lord Sage is wise and generous!"
Hei Bai Wuchang immediately began to flatter him.
Gao Yue sighed, her pretty face full of bitterness. "I didn't expect that the Gao family's immortal relic would attract so much trouble. Even immortals want to covet it."
Bai Wuchang said, "Miss Gao, you don't know. If there really is a Sea Stabilizing Needle or a Nine-Toothed Rake, then it's a top treasure. Even I wouldn't dare to neglect it."
Gao Yue's eyes widened. Only now did she intuitively realize the importance of this treasure.
She hesitated for a moment and said to Li Nianfan, "Young Master Li, my father told me that if there really is an immortal relic in the Gao family, then it's most likely to be there …"
