Yue Chenqing smiled and said, "Lord Xi He, you've asked the right person! Every year, people in Chong Hua would create a ranking list. There are all kinds of lists, and I love to read them! If you want to talk about the most beautiful girl ten years ago, it must be Su Yurou. "
Mo Xi didn't know much about women, and he had no interest in those hidden beauties. Therefore, he only vaguely heard the name Su Yurou, but he couldn't remember who she was.
"Have you seen her face? Does she look like Miss Hong Shao? "
Yue Chenqing shook his head and said, "Miss Su always covered her face with a veil. Few people have seen her face. I'm a junior, so of course I haven't seen her face. "
At this point, he sighed regretfully.
Mo Xi asked, "Then did she marry a cold-tempered man like what China Master said?"
"Oh? Yes. "Yue Chenqing thought for a while and said in surprise," Her husband's temperament is really like that. Could it be that the Master was talking about her?! "
"…"
Mo Xi and Murong Chuyi looked at each other.
A woman who could easily recall Yue Chenqing … It was obviously not difficult to find out about her. Li Qingqian must have already asked about her from others. But why didn't he catch her?
Mo Xi asked, "Who did she marry?"
"…" Yue Chenqing patted his forehead and said, "No way … I've already said so much. I thought you already knew whose wife she was! Fourth Uncle, Lord Xi He, you guys, you guys never read 'Records of Chong Hua Beauties'? "
Mo Xi, "…"
Yue Chenqing said helplessly, "What about 'Records of Chong Hua Tycoons'?"
Mo Xi said impatiently, "Who did she marry?"
"Pharmacist Jiang, Jiang Fuli!" Yue Chenqing was speechless. "She's the wife of the richest businessman in Chong Hua. Don't you know?"
Mo Xi's eyes darkened. No wonder.
The two most difficult places to enter in Chong Hua were Murong Chuyi's Tool Room and Jiang Yaoshi's Pill Room.
Mo Xi didn't know much about "Miss Su", but she had heard a little about "Madam Jiang". It was said that Madam's body was extremely weak, and she spent most of her time in seclusion in the Jiang Manor's Pill Room to recuperate. She didn't know anything about what happened outside.
Li Qingqian had been cautious before and did not dare to attack the Jiang family. But now that his sword had been damaged and only his violent demonic aura was left, he would definitely try to break into the Jiang family.
Thinking of this, Mo Xi immediately got up. Glancing at Gu Mang, who was sleeping among the bamboo warriors in the corridor, he said, "I'm going to the Jiang house. Murong, I'll have to trouble you to … "
Before he could finish, they suddenly heard a deafening explosion. The three of them looked up at the same time and saw that the East Market of Chong Hua was ablaze. Thick smoke and flames rose into the sky.
Yue Chenqing was shocked. "What, what's going on?!"
Mo Xi said, "Let's go and take a look."
Yue Chenqing nodded and followed Mo Xi out. But when she turned around, she saw that Murong Chuyi had not moved. He was still sitting at the stone table and had called a bamboo warrior over and was giving it instructions. Yue Chenqing hesitated. "Fourth Uncle, aren't you leaving?"
Murong Chuyi glanced at Gu Mang and said lightly, "Didn't you hear that Lord Xi He asked me to take care of the criminal? I can't leave. "
Yue Chenqing thought about it and agreed, so she did not insist. As soon as they left the Yue Mansion, Mo Xi and Yue Chenqing encountered a large number of people who were fleeing in panic. There were women, children, the elderly, and the weak. The Imperial Guards were guiding them on both sides.
"Go to the Security Agency! Take them all to the Security Agency! "
The fire in the East was burning more and more fiercely. It had already lit up a large area of houses. The Imperial Guards rode on the wind and on their swords. They were like shooting stars in the night sky, going back and forth to rescue the people from the sea of fire.
Although they were far away, they could still hear the cries and shouts of the Imperial Guards. "Capture him!"
"Call for reinforcements! Capture that devil! "
Needless to say, "That devil" must be Li Qingqian, the Sword Demon.
Yue Chenqing was shocked. "Why didn't Li Qingqian go to the Jiang Mansion? Why is he killing people in other places?"
Mo Xi thought, "It's not that Li Qingqian didn't go to the Jiang Mansion, but that he didn't see the person he wanted to see." He said, "Let's go to the East Market first."
When they arrived at the Chong Hua East Market, they found that the situation was worse than expected. The entire market was set ablaze by the demonic fire. The scarlet flames were like peonies that covered the sky and the sun. Thick smoke rose into the sky. From time to time, a few Imperial Guards would fly out of the sea of fire on their swords. They were carrying seriously injured people who could not move freely.
"The fire is getting bigger and bigger. Hurry and put out the fire!"
"If this goes on, the Fire-proof Enchantment won't be able to hold on …"
The crowd was in chaos. The army stationed in the capital had already rushed over to help. Many soldiers from the Northern Frontier Army were also there. When they saw Mo Xi, these people who originally belonged to the Tortoise Army saw him, they happily said, "Marshal Mo!"
Someone whispered, "He's here, he's here. Stepfather is here."
Even after so many years, the former subordinates of the Tortoise Army still liked to call Mo Xi "Stepfather" in private. However, from the initial dislike, it had now become a harmless nickname.
Their "stepfather" was dressed in a black robe that fluttered in the wind. His long legs strode towards the scene of the smoke.
The flames in the East Market were reflected in his dark eyes.
"Father … Oh, no, Marshal Mo, there's an evil spirit causing trouble here …"
Mo Xi nodded and said, "Save them yourselves. I'll take care of the rest."
Everyone was slightly startled. They didn't know what their "father" was going to do. Mo Xi was a Fire Element Cultivator. Could he put out the fire?
Just as they were in a terrible fix, they suddenly heard Mo Xi say in a low voice, "Summon the Sky-swallowing Beast!"
As if a whale's cry pierced through the air from the abyss of the sea, a pure white scepter appeared in Mo Xi's hand. The tip of the scepter was mixed with gold and silver, and was inlaid with a luxurious and dazzling Whale Soul Stone. The blue brilliance overflowed.
Yue Chenqing was shocked — the weapon of the Sky-swallowing Beast?!
The Sky-swallowing Beast was Mo Xi's most powerful divine weapon. Usually, with just a command, it could create a force that could move mountains and fill seas.
Because the Sky-swallowing Beast was too domineering, Mo Xi would usually only summon a barrier as a defense. It was rare for him to summon the Sky-swallowing Scepter. The reason was very simple. As long as the Giant Whale Soul Body was used as a defense, it would be enough. But to summon the scepter, one had to prepare to cast a spell.
Mo Xi's slender and cold fingers held the scepter. He pointed at the raging sea of fire and said, "Transform into rain."
Some Xiao Xiu soldiers were shocked and said, "What … f * ck …"
Regardless of whether he was a biological father or a stepfather, your father was your father. How could a fire-type cultivator extinguish the fire?
A beam of blue light shot out from the scepter and soared into the sky. In an instant, it turned into a giant whale that reached the heavens and the earth. It swept its tail fins and opened its huge mouth to pounce on the fire!
In an instant, a strong wind was stirred up, and sand and pebbles were sent flying. Many cultivators couldn't even withstand the strong spiritual current and knelt down on the ground, their faces filled with pain. Even Yue Chenqing was choking and coughing repeatedly. She squinted her eyes and her vision was blurred.
The blue giant whale soul body and the dragon-like sea of fire collided, creating waves of water and air. The waves and flames even splashed out hundreds of miles away. The long night was instantly turned into day! Whoosh! The torrential rain swept through the entire Chong Hua Kingdom in an instant.
In the torrential rain, Mo Xi's face was as cold as jade. His eyes reflected the blue light of the water and the fierce red light of the fire. His black Imperial Army leather coat fluttered in the wind.
In the blink of an eye, Feng Yi calmed down the waves and the tongues of flames knelt down in front of him like an army of thousands of men and horses. The sea of flames turned into a smoking ruin, no longer able to stir up waves. The cultivators who were fortunate enough to witness this scene looked at his back and were so shocked that they couldn't say a word. They could only sigh with different emotions in their hearts.
The male cultivator thought, 'It's over. The Chong Hua woman is going to go crazy for this guy.'
The female cultivator thought, Ahhhhhhhh!!!
The cultivators of the tortoise army thought, 'Our stepfather is so tyrannical and scary when he's angry!
The ruins collapsed. In the rolling smoke, a figure slowly turned around.
Li Qingqian was indeed stirring up trouble in the middle of the fire!
At this moment, the evil aura had already crawled all over his face. His eyes were red, as if there were hundreds of red spiders crawling all over them. His expression looked even more twisted and crazy than before. Mo Xi could no longer see the old image of the 'Benevolent Sword Cutting Water' Master Li on this face.
Sword spirits often assimilated with their sword masters. Li Qingqian was completely covered by the clouds of the State Preceptor of Liao.
When Li Qingqian saw Mo Xi, he bared his teeth and shouted coldly, "Mo Xi! You can protect the Chong Hua once, but can you protect it every time? Can you not sleep day and night and guard this city at all times?! Hand over that bitch surnamed Su! Otherwise, I'll make your Chong Hua never have a day of peace! "
Yue Chenqing shouted, "Good, so it's because you don't have the ability to break into the Jiang Residence! So you're making a scene here with innocent people!! You're so shameless! "
Li Qingqian raised his head and laughed, "I'm shameless? Isn't that bitch surnamed Su the shameless one? She's a femme fatale who once caused so many girls to die in the mountains. Now she's like a coward, hiding in the Jiang Residence and refusing to show herself even though the city is burning! Hahaha … Hongshao … Hongshao died in vain because she looks like this! This bitch — coward —! "
Among the cultivators present, there were also medicine cultivators from the Jiang Residence. When they heard what he said, they couldn't help but say angrily, "Bullshit! My Madam is cultivating in seclusion and doesn't know what's going on outside. She's not the kind of person you're talking about! You better watch your mouth! "
"She's not that kind of person? Then what kind of person is she? "Li Qingqian laughed wildly," I'd like to see it for myself! What kind of beauty does she have?! Why is the State Preceptor so concerned about her?! "
The medicine cultivator said angrily, "You don't deserve to appear in front of Madam!"
"Madam … Haha, what Madam! She's just a bitch! " Li Qingqian seemed to have gone crazy. His murderous juice flowed out like the fangs of a poisonous snake. "I'd like to see what this woman looks like. I'd like to destroy her appearance and throw her to the State Preceptor of Liao Country …"
When he mentioned the State Preceptor of Liao Country, his twisted and ferocious expression was even brighter than the raging fire. "That beast … Hahaha, in front of that infatuated woman, I'd like to tear her apart. I'd like to tear her beautiful face into pieces!!!"
"He killed my Hongshao, so I'd like to make the woman he loves suffer a fate worse than death!!"
His angry roar pierced through the clouds and the sun. His emotions were like a drum that was about to burst out again after accumulating to the extreme.
Mo Xi reminded the people around him, "Be careful."
Li Qingqian's body was surrounded by black gas. Seeing that he was about to go berserk again, Mo Xi took a step forward. The Sky Devouring Scepter shone brightly. The rest of the people were also on high alert, waiting for the arrows to shoot!
However, at this moment, a smoke-like sigh came from the end of the street. "Stop."
"…"
It was an extremely melodious voice. Just by listening to this voice, even if one didn't look at her appearance, one could tell that she was a beautiful and elegant woman.
Everyone turned around in shock. Thus, a path was created. At the end of the path was a beautiful figure wrapped in snow. Her face was covered by a light veil. She held a purple bamboo umbrella in the curtain of rain that had yet to disperse. She floated over like a deity coming out of the water.
Li Qingqian's pupils suddenly shrank.
The people of the Jiang Residence were shocked. "Madam? Why are you here? "
"Madam, it's dangerous! If anything happens to Madam, how are we going to explain it to the shopkeeper when he comes back? "
Madam Jiang said, "If it wasn't for the Yue Residence's message, I wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened. How long were you planning to hide it from me? "
As she spoke, she walked calmly from the end of the long street to Li Qingqian's body of the Sword Demon.
Yue Chenqing was shocked. "The Yue Residence …?"
Ah, it must be the message from Fourth Uncle.
Thinking of this, there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Everyone said that his Fourth Uncle was cold-blooded and heartless. He couldn't tell right from wrong and only cared about the ending of things. He also knew that this was true. His Fourth Uncle asked Madam Jiang to come out because he wanted her to stop Li Qingqian from going berserk.
Although this was the most effective way, it was undoubtedly pushing Madam Jiang into the fire pit.
— — "In order to achieve his goal, Chi Xian doesn't care about what he has to pay. I'm afraid that he won't even care about the lives of his relatives."
This was the judgment of everyone in Chong Hua about Murong Chuyi.
Yue Chenqing didn't like to hear it. He always thought that his Fourth Uncle was a thoughtful person and always had his reasons for doing things.
But this kind of sober consideration was actually cruel.
Madam Jiang stopped in front of Li Qingqian and looked at him calmly.
"You are …" Li Qingqian's eyes flashed. "You are Su Yurou?!"
"Yes, I am." Madam Jiang said. "You came to me to take revenge on the State Preceptor of Liao Country. Am I right? "
Li Qingqian gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! I want to see … what you look like. You caused so many girls to be buried alive for you! "
Everyone thought that Madam Jiang would refuse. Unexpectedly, she was silent for a moment and then said, "Since you want to see my face, I will show it to you. But … "
"But what?"
Madam Jiang said, "I have something that I want to tell you first. I can only tell you this. I don't want to tell anyone else. It has nothing to do with them. "
Li Qingqian rolled his eyes and looked at her up and down. It seemed that he wanted to see if she had any magic weapons on her. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid of you cheating. If you do, I will take your heart out, tear it in half and eat it."
"I don't have anything except this umbrella." Madam Jiang said. "But if you hear this, I'm afraid that your mind will collapse and you won't be able to hold on. Think about whether you want to hear it or not. "
Li Qingqian was startled. Then, he laughed and said, "You don't need to provoke me! Just say it! "
Madam Jiang said, "Then come closer."
Thus, everyone saw Li Qingqian tilting his head and Madam Jiang leaning over. Under the fluttering veil, she only moved her lips and teeth slightly and said a few words. Li Qingqian's crazed and ferocious face suddenly froze. When Madame Jiang stood up again and looked at him calmly, the cold light that shot out from his eyes, as well as that kind of shock, really made the people around him quite shocked.
"What did she say to him?"
Someone muttered softly.
"I don't know …"
Li Qingqian looked at Madam Jiang as if he had seen a ghost. After a while, he took a step back with a pale face. "No … no … how is that possible?"
Madam Jiang said, "I'm not lying."
After a moment of silence, Li Qingqian suddenly screamed at the top of his lungs, "You're lying! You bitch! You're lying! You're full of lies! You — you — "
"Didn't you want to see my face? After you see it, you'll know whether I'm lying or not. "
Madam Jiang walked in front of Li Qingqian. From this angle, other than Li Qingqian himself, no one could see her face. She raised her soft white hand and gently lifted the veil covering her face …
There was no sound at all.
It was so quiet that it was as if she was in the depths of the sea.
Suddenly, at a certain moment, it was as if the strings of a zither had been stretched to the limit. "You, you really …"
Madam Jiang said, "Do you believe me now? What you hate is wrong from the beginning. "
Li Qingqian suddenly took two steps back and laughed out loud. He said crazily, "Hahaha … Ridiculous! I'm so ridiculous! I've always … actually … actually thought … "
Li Qingqian suddenly lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of black blood. The blood stained his lips and teeth, and he fell to the ground. It was as though his entire being had been shattered. He was laughing and crying at the same time. Pointing at Madam Jiang, his chest heaved violently, and his eyes were bloodshot. "So … that's how it is! Hahaha! Hahaha! "
"…"
"I know … The Grand Tutor is actually doing this because … because …" Li Qingqian didn't finish her sentence. Her pupils contracted rapidly and her lips were dripping with black blood. Suddenly, she threw her head back and laughed loudly. "Ridiculous! This is ridiculous! Hahahaha! This is really ridiculous … "
"I've hated for so long, but it's all wrong! It's all wrong! "
The Sword Demon knelt on the ground and looked up to the sky. He wailed and screamed continuously. Each scream was louder than the last. Finally, he fell to the ground. His whole body was twitching and black gas was flowing out of his body!
Li Qingqian covered his eyes with his hands and murmured, "It's all wrong …"
His obsession dissipated and he lay on the ground. His maniacal laughter gradually faded, like the mocking echo of an old crow circling a tree before its death. Slowly, it became dull and hoarse. Finally, he curled up on the ground, as if he was curling up at the end of a lame joke.
No one would have thought that a Sword Demon that was brimming with murderous aura would lose his lifelong obsession and turn into a puddle of dirty blood just because of Madam Jiang's matter ….
Li Qingqian was gone just like that.
"How, how could this be …"
"What the hell …"
Everyone was silent. They all stared at Madam Jiang in shock and astonishment. It was as if they wanted to tear her veil and see her secret.
What kind of story did this woman whisper into Li Qingqian's ears? With just a few words, it was more vicious than a peerless divine weapon, easily taking his life.
What did Madam Jiang say to the Sword Demon?!
Under these shocked and astonished gazes, Madam Jiang was very calm. She glanced at the disintegrating body of the Sword Demon on the ground without any surprise. She put down her veil and slowly turned around.
"Madam …"
Madam Jiang said, "He has lost his obsession and can no longer gather into a human form. Today, I've implicated all of you. I feel guilty and guilty. " As she spoke, she bowed to the cultivators present. "When my husband comes back, I'll tell him in detail about the damage in the East Market and make up for it. … I'll take my leave now. "
She paused, glanced at the servants in her mansion, and said, "All of you, come back with me."
"…"
"Let's go. Nothing will happen."
"But Madam —"
"Let's go."
She walked away with a soft and delicate figure, as if she was walking on stilts. Under the fascinated and astonished gazes of the crowd, she gradually disappeared.
In the wet and ruined East Market Ruins, some people stared blankly at Madam Jiang's back, some cried bitterly at their burned houses, and some stared blankly at the blood stains of Li Qingqian …
Yue Chenqing murmured, "How beautiful is her face? Why did Li Qingqian become like this when he saw her? Why did his obsession disappear? Is Madam Jiang really much more beautiful than Miss Hongshao? "
Mo Xi did not speak. He frowned and looked at the blood stains on the ground.
He knew that this matter was not so simple. The reason why Madam Jiang was able to disperse Li Qingqian's inner demon in an instant was definitely not because she was "beautiful". There must be some other reason.
Otherwise, he would not keep murmuring, "Hate is wrong". What did he hate wrong?
Yue Chenqing saw that his expression was not worried, so she tried to sound him out. "Lord Xi He …"
Mo Xi shook his head. "Everyone has their own secrets. Unless it's necessary, don't look into it. "
"Oh … okay …"
"You can go back to the Yue Residence. I will report to His Highness."
Yue Chenqing agreed. Just as she was about to leave, she saw something from the corner of her eyes. She suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She walked in front of a small house in the East City that was emitting smoke. This small house was shabby and shabby. It was obvious that it was not the residence of a rich family. However, there was a bright golden talisman pasted on its door and window.
That was the Yue Clan's Invincible Vajra Talisman.
Upon closer inspection, it was not only this house that had the same talisman. Many of the houses in the surrounding area had the same talisman pasted on them. Perhaps it was because of the talisman's protection that these houses were on the verge of collapse due to the fire. However, at least they were not swallowed up in an instant. The residents inside were also successfully rescued.
However …
Yue Chenqing raised two fingers and pressed down on the golden talisman that had already exhausted its spiritual power. She frowned slightly.
How strange. The Invincible Vajra Talisman was the most expensive talisman in the family. Everyone wanted to buy it when there was a rapist, but not everyone could afford it. His uncle even chased away those Xiao Xiu in the downtown area because of it. His fourth uncle was also too lazy to care.
Then these talismans … who gave them these talismans?
After thinking for a while, Yue Chenqing thought of a person.
A sickly and delicate white figure sat on a wooden wheelchair with a soft blanket covering her knees.
— Jiang Yexue.
That's right. Jiang Yexue had always been wishy-washy. He was so soft-hearted that he could not even take care of a sickly person. Those poor people's Invincible Vajra Talismans must have been made by him.
This thought made Yue Chenqing a little uncomfortable. On one hand, he felt that his fourth uncle and father's way of doing things as if they did not have anything to do with them was a little cruel. However, on the other hand, he had heard the people in the residence disdain Jiang Yexue since he was young. They said that Jiang Yexue did not have any great abilities and only knew how to sell the Yue Clan's secret techniques to win people's hearts and gain prestige.
However, if Jiang Yexue had not kindly given these commoners the Invincible Vajra Talismans, who knew how many innocent people in the East City would have lost their lives in today's disaster …
Under these two contradictions, Yue Chenqing did not know how to feel for a moment. However, the noise around him did not stop, causing his thoughts to become even more chaotic.
He vaguely thought that between his fourth uncle and Jiang Yexue this time, could it be that his fourth uncle was really wrong …
