C38 This World Is Much More Complicated than You Think

This reason might be very important to Hongying.

But to Lu Ming, it was still not enough.

One should know that in this world, it was not rare for a brother to fight because of money and treasures, let alone the fact that he spent some money to help Hongying bury her father.

Lu Ming did not know about the influence of 'father' on Hongying. Even if he knew, he would still be wary.

Sometimes, he and Xu Jing had the same temperament and were very cautious.

Because he did not think that he could live safely after obtaining the Sword Immortal system, or become a big shot in the world like the main characters in the novels in his previous life. When you have experienced this world, you will understand that living is the thing you need to consider the most.

Therefore, strength, caution, and other emotions are indispensable.

However, Lu Ming's cautiousness was much better than Xu Jing's, because he would not be overly suspicious.

Lu Ming looked into Hongying's eyes and said, "You are now one of my people."

Hongying's face instantly blushed, and she did not dare to look into Lu Ming's eyes. She thought that she must have misunderstood Lu Ming's meaning.

Lu Ming said, "I am referring to the relationship of interest, not the relationship of love and love."

Hongying understood what he meant, but her face became even redder. She turned around and ran to the kitchen to cool herself down.

Dong Chi saw it and joked, "You are quite good at it."

Lu Ming glanced at him and said, "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory."

Dong Chi said, "A dog's mouth can only spit out dog teeth."

Lu Ming was too lazy to explain to him. He said, "You said that you were an elder of Taihao Sect?"

"That's right." Dong Chi moved his body to make himself feel better. He said, "I was an elder of the Medicine Hall four or five years ago."

Lu Ming asked, "What did you do? You were expelled from the Taihao Sect."

Dong Chi was stunned for a moment. Then he narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Ming. He said, "You don't just want to investigate Xu Jing."

Lu Ming said, "What I experienced in the Trial of Blood made me suspect that someone in the Taihao Sect was doing something bad."

Dong Chi sneered and said, "But what can you do with your current strength?"

Lu Ming said, "I want to ensure my own safety."

Dong Chi said in a trance, "There is no wall in this world that does not leak wind. Only absolute strength."

"Although your words are a little wrong, but also feel that it makes sense." Lu Ming looked at Dong Chi and said, "But you still do not understand why you were expelled from the Taihao Sect."

"If I wasn't seriously injured right now, I would have killed you." Dong Chi coughed twice and regained some of his red color. Because of these two coughs, his face turned white again, and there was a line of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Lu Ming picked up a cup of hot tea, walked to Dong Chi, and put it down. He said, "That's why I don't want you to recover from your injuries. If that's the case, it won't be good to talk face to face."

Dong Chi smiled and said, "What a person who would do anything for himself."

Lu Ming sat back on the stool and blew on the tea. He felt that the temperature was about the same. He took a sip and said, "If you don't do it for yourself, Heaven will punish you."

"If I had this kind of understanding from you before, perhaps I would not have ended up like today." Dong Chi sighed deeply and said, "I killed someone."

Lu Ming knew what Dong Chi was talking about. He frowned slightly and said, "This doesn't seem to be a serious crime."

Dong Chi glanced at him and said, "He is a disciple of Taihao Sect. His name is Xi Siyuan."

Lu Ming suddenly realized something and said, "He should really be expelled from the sect."

As an elder, Dong Chi had killed a disciple. This was something that could incite public anger. It was already considered not bad that the sect didn't kill him.

Lu Ming even had the thought of letting Dong Chi die.

Dong Chi suddenly said, "But I didn't kill him."

Lu Ming asked, "Do you have proof?"

"No." Dong Chi shook his head slightly and was silent for a while. Then he said, "But I suspect that he is not dead."

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "He is not dead?"

Dong Chi said, "That's right."

Lu Ming thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any proof?"

Dong Chi said, "He was born during the time of Yin Sha."

Lu Ming's eyes narrowed. He seemed to have grasped something, but it was a little blurry.

He thought for a long time, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He said, "You suspect that someone took him to concoct pills, and you became the scapegoat?"

"You are indeed a smart person. Talking to smart people is easy." Dong Chi said, "That's right. Back then, Xi Si was one of the top genius disciples in the Outer Sect. He was valued by the higher ups and was even appointed as a disciple by an elder in the inner sect. As long as he passes the Dragon Gate. "

" But he mysteriously disappeared without a trace. "

"Don't you think it's strange for Xu Jing and the others to blame me for not being angered by any of the inner circle elders?"

Lu Ming shook his head and said, "I don't think so."

Dong Chi pointed at Lu Ming and said, "Your current reaction is exactly the same as Xu Jing's."

Lu Ming did not want to continue on this topic and said, "I accidentally entered a cave in Blood Forest. There was a person hanging inside, and he was concocting pills."

"That person should be Xi Siyuan." Dong Chi was very calm.

Lu Ming said, "Are you so sure?"

Dong Chi smiled and said, "Of course. Xi Siyuan was not in Taihao Sect, so he must have been hidden somewhere. Moreover, she was born during the Yin Sha hour. The only thing she could think of was the Blood Evil Pill. The Blood Forest is a very good place to refine Blood Evil Pill."

Lu Ming frowned slightly and said," Then why didn't you report it to the upper echelons of Taihao Sect? "

Dong Chi looked into Lu Ming's eyes and said with a smile, "Young man, this world is far more complicated than you think."

Lu Ming also understood that there must be someone above who could suppress this matter.

Speaking of which, Xi Siyuan, this talented disciple, had indeed left a stunning mark in the Taihao Sect's Outer Sect, but because of his mysterious disappearance, it became a pity.

This world was indeed much more complicated than he had imagined.

Lu Ming asked the most critical question, "Why are they doing this?"

Dong Chi gave Lu Ming a funny look and said, "If I knew, I might not have lived until now."

Lu Ming suddenly understood and said, "Do you have any last words?"

Dong Chi shook his head. Naturally, he didn't feel any fear or pain before death.

"I don't have any last words, but my biggest regret is that I didn't get a beautiful wife to enjoy my life."

Lu Ming felt that he could complete his last wish underground.

Lu Ming calmly solved Dong Chi's problem of blood. It would be more troublesome to solve it.

Therefore, Hongying cleaned the matter of Lu Ming holding the water with complicated feelings.

In fact, Lu Ming could clean it himself, but if his father found out about it, he would not be suspected.

In order to do a perfect thing, he must not let others suspect and be curious.

...

Night fell and darkness was everywhere.

The two corners of the streets of Cangwu City had already been lit up by lanterns and candles. For a moment, the lights were brightly lit.

No.
