C2431 Quick Knife to Sever Anesthetic

"A pig? Are you a pig? [You actually dare to do something like this, and even hid it so well. Do you know what will happen if the Prime Grandmaster finds out about your matter?] You still want to be the Sect Leader, in my opinion, other than becoming a dead person, you have no other choice. Furthermore, you have to be despised by the Pill King Valley for eternity! "

Even though there was the unexpected harvest of the tea cup in the abode and it could be considered a big step forward in the search for the real culprit, the result was the same. Before the owner of the other teacup was found, everything was still in the same place. Moreover, due to the sudden change in the 'Earth Fire Eye', this investigation did not continue for long before it ended.

When the investigation was finished and they'd rushed over as soon as possible, the elder took advantage of the lack of attention and gave Du Ruo a meaningful glance, indicating that he should make a trip to his own residence after everyone had dispersed. When Du Ruo entered the cave residence, she immediately knelt down on both knees without even waiting for Elder Xin to ask any questions, and poured out the entire sequence of events in tears.

This explanation truly made Elder Xin a bit at a loss as to what to do. Even though he had already noticed the relationship between Du Ruo and Gui Yang when he first saw Du Ruo's unusual expression, he didn't think that the connection would be this deep.

"This disciple knows his wrongs, and doesn't dare anymore. "Disciple will go find Elder Tan and give her everything to her in order to win over the sect's magnanimity …" After being lectured by Xin Yi, Du Ruo's already tense heart was now on the verge of breaking down. Fear was written all over her eyes, and with a trace of luck, she begged Xin Yi repeatedly.

"Let's find some kind of sandalwood and tell them everything …" Xin Yi's eyes widened when he heard what she said. He looked at Du Ruo with a gaze full of ridicule and sneered, "If you go and find him, there's no possibility of doing so other than dying faster. Moreover, have you thought that your actions are not only bringing yourself into trouble, but also bringing our Spiritual Medicine Faction into an endless abyss, so that our faction will never be able to raise its head again for the rest of its life?

He did not understand how Du Ruoran, a disciple who used to look smart, could become such a fool, even taking the risk of being despised by the entire sect to cover up for Jiang Haoran, and hide the fact that Jiang Haoran had gone to Gui Yang's cave the night he died, and had even been alone with him.

If Du Ruo had only done that, it would have been fine. However, this idiot was cunning, but his guts were pitifully small. He had only noticed a tiny bit of abnormality, yet he had actually made him make such a gesture. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he found out that it wasn't him who was abnormal but instead planting sandalwood.

In a fit of rage, the first thing Zang Tan had to do was to first set an example for Du Ruoruo and then brazenly join hands with Lin Bai to declare war on the Spirit Spring Sect. This way, the flames of war that would engulf the hidden realm would burn even more fiercely.

Not only that, because Du Ruo's actions alone would definitely cause internal strife in Pill King Valley, it would cause him, Xin Yi, and Du Ruo's Spiritual Medicine Faction, to be despised by the entire Pill King Valley, and they would have to live forever under the noses and breaths of Zang Tan and Qong Chang Geng.

This was something that Xin Yi absolutely could not accept. This was why he didn't expose Du Ruo the moment he discovered Du Ruo's strange expression. He even mentioned how he was paying attention to Du Ruo's expression, and why he personally inquired afterwards.

Lucky for his pig-brain, he used to think of Du Ruo as the most outstanding disciple of the Spiritual Medicine Department. But now, it seems that he'd been blinded by lard in the past and had actually thought highly of such an incredibly stupid person.

"Master, I beg of you, please save me. I don't want to die, I haven't lived enough. Master, please teach me a way to keep me alive. I don't want to be the Valley Master anymore. Du Ruo's entire being was as if a wooden chicken, clinging tightly to her bitter legs as she wailed and begged.

"Idiot, what a complete idiot! You actually dare to do such a thing, it truly hurts me to the extreme! " Xin Yi kicked Du Ruo away in frustration, then said coldly, "I'm not interested in the position of Valley Master yet. Tell me, what did that Jiang fella promise you to work so hard for his head in his belt?"

"He promised his disciple that, once things calmed down, he would use all the power of the Spirit Spring Sect to assist his disciple in ascending to the position of valley master. He would even ask Sect Master Jiang Wanli to give me a seed …" At this moment, Du Ruo knew that her little life was completely in the hands of Xin Yi. Life and death were all in the hands of the latter, how could she dare to hide even the slightest bit of it?

Moreover, he discovered that although Xin Yi was angry, his words did not seem to have any intention of betraying himself. Furthermore, it seemed that he was trying to help him to conceal the matter. This discovery made him even more desperate to seize this opportunity. To the current him, no matter what opportunity he had, as long as his life was most important, it didn't matter anymore.

"Such a small gain, I actually managed to bribe you …" Du Ruoruo laughed coldly upon hearing these words. Then, a strange light flashed in her eyes as she slowly said, "What use does he have in asking Jiang Wanli to give you the seed?"

"Master, as long as you look at this command medallion, you should understand." After Du Ruo heard this, she gritted her teeth and immediately made a decision. She took out a token from her pocket and held it in front of Xin Yi with both hands.

After he observed it for a while, his pupils suddenly contracted. Then, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he abruptly raised his hand, tightly grabbing onto Du Ruo's collar, saying in a deep voice, "You can be sure that this token is real, then Jiang Haoran hasn't been lying to you. Didn't he promise you everything?"

"This disciple is certain that Jiang Haoran is not lying to me." When Du Ruo heard this, she immediately nodded her head like a chick pecking rice, and said in a low voice, "Not only that, disciple also suspects that the reason he went to pay his respects to the Valley Master that night should be because of this matter. Otherwise, the valley master wouldn't have kicked the disciple out of the cave at the same time as they were talking and wouldn't have allowed anyone to listen in. "

"So it's like this, it's actually for this! I never thought that the Heavens would actually give our Pill King Valley such a huge opportunity. It's a pity that Gui Yang has no chance of surviving and wants us to enjoy the benefits for nothing! " When Xin Yi heard this, he immediately raised his head and let out a long laugh. His laughter was filled with joy and malice, revealing his ambition.

"Master, you're …" When Du Ruo heard this, she immediately became wild with joy. Staring at Xin Yi's somewhat sinister smile, she said in ecstasy, "Master, do you mean to say that we can no longer punish this disciple and are going to form an alliance with Jiang Haoran?"

"I'll punish you, why should I punish you? Old Heaven gave my Medicine Valley such a huge opportunity, what does it matter if a mere Gui Yang dies!" Not only will I not punish you, I will also reward you and help you. Once this is over, you will be the only one to be the leader of Pill King Valley! " Xin Yi sneered again and again, saying maliciously, "If you take this from me, you will be blamed for it!"

"Master, what's going on …" At this moment, Du Ruoruo was completely confused, he couldn't understand why the change in attitude between Xin Yi and his son would be so huge. At the beginning, he almost thought that Xin Yi would kill him, but now, Xin Yi had actually said something that not only didn't punish him, but would also help him.

"Idiot, what are you thinking about?" Upon hearing these words, Xin Yi's voice was cold and harsh. "Didn't you see when you were at the cave abode that the earth fire eye suppressed by the cauldron had completely gone out of control?" With the release of the earth fire, the Pill King Valley's decline was certain, and it was only a matter of time. He wanted to grow sandalwood, he wanted to find another place to start his sect, but how could such a place be so easy to find? He doesn't want to retreat, but you and I, master and disciple, can't not look for him! "

With these words, Du Ruo immediately understood why the change in Xin Yi's attitude was so great. There were two reasons for this. The first was that the Spirit Spring Sect's bargaining chip had been too generous and had moved Xin Yi. The other reason was that the Earth Fire had leaked out and he no longer had any hope for Pill King Valley. He wanted to find a way out for himself.

Under the current situation, the legs of the Spiritual Spring Sect was the best choice for him to make. As long as he could form an alliance with the Medicine Valley and obtain the appropriate compensation, the Spirit Spring Sect would not treat him badly.

Xin Yi really did not expect that, at this time when he was feeling apprehensive and uneasy about Pill King Valley's future, the heavens would actually give him such an opportunity that would move his heart. If he could not seize this opportunity, then he would truly be a useless human being.

It didn't matter who killed Guiyang, or whether he was killed by Jiang Haoran. Since the dead were dead, the living had to consider. There was no other choice but to retreat in their own interests.

"Master, what should we do? Do you want to pin the crime of murdering Gui Yang onto that brat Lin Bai, and let him mix with Zhi Tan and the rest, pushing our Medicine Valley completely to the side of the Spirit Spring Sect? " Seeing the expression on Xin Yi's face, Du Ruo understood that there was no longer any danger to her life. Her small eyes turned as she said viciously.

"It seems like you're not stupid enough to think of such a plan!" Xin Yi coldly laughed when he heard this and said, "But in my opinion, isn't it a bit too troublesome to use these methods?" Right now, the situation is a mess, and it will not be easy to sort out the clues from within. If you want to solve this problem, you have to do it quickly! "

Quick knife slashing through all? When Du Ruo heard this, confusion immediately showed in her eyes, as she didn't know what was going on.

"Just you wait. You'll understand very soon!" Xin Yi didn't have any intention of explaining to Du Ruo. After sneering several times, he slowly said, "Help me contact Jiang Haoran again, I have some things to confirm with him!"
