The woman in the green dress took a few steps forward and bowed deeply to Jade Rakshasa. She said in a delicate voice,"I thank Miss Shangguan for saving me in Anlu City that day!”
"Miss Xiang, there's no need to be so polite," Jade Raksha said."Have your injuries recovered?”
"My injuries have healed a long time ago. It's all thanks to my sister's gift of spirit herbs."”
Jade Rakshasa sized her up and saw that she looked haggard and her eyes were sunken as if she lacked sleep. She said,"Miss, you don't look too good. Are you sick?”
Xiang Jingyu sobbed." I'm not sick. It's just that something else has happened in Emei. Soon, my Martial Uncle and Martial Uncle will mention it to you. Thank you for your concern."”
Xu Zhutao remembered what Jingye Nun had said about the missing people in Emei and said in surprise,""Miss, could it be that someone from your sect has really gone missing?”
Xiang Jingyu cupped his fists at him and said with a sad expression,"Your Excellency must be Young Master Bai Ma. Emei is currently in a troubled period. Later on, the teachers will have a detailed discussion with Young Master Bai Ma.”After introducing the other two junior sisters, Xu Zhutao finally knew that the one in the purple dress was called Tao Siyong, and the one in the light yellow dress was called Qin Xiangning. As expected, they were both immortal flowers in Langyuan. They were as beautiful as flowers, and each had their own beauty. They were indeed worthy of being called the three beauties of Emei.
Tao Siyong and Qin Xiangning also greeted the three of them. It was the first time the three of them had seen Xu Zhutao. Ever since he killed Gong Ao at Sunset Horse Farm, he had become famous. Later on, he had done some extraordinary things, and now he was at the height of his power. The three of them shyly sized him up and found that his eyebrows were thick, his eyes were like cold stars, his nose was high, and the tip of his nose was slightly curved. His lips were thin, his face was like jade, he was eight feet tall, and his hands were slender. He looked handsome and dashing, and his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
Xu Zhutao said," I've long felt that something big is about to happen in Jianghu. I once used the news of the Devil Cult's reappearance to persuade the Alliance Masters of the Northern and Southern Green Woods to stop fighting. I even personally went to the scene of the battle to advise them. However, words of a humble person carry little weight. Neither side gave me face. Yesterday, I heard rumors in Chengdu that the Alliance Master of the Northern Green Woods has disappeared and the Alliance Master of the Southern Green Woods has changed. We feel that there are several mysterious forces in Jianghu that are ready to make trouble. You girls should be more careful when you leave the mountain in the future.”
"What?!" Tao Siyong was surprised. Young Master Xu, have you personally gone to the battlefield of the North-South Greenwood Alliance to persuade them?”
"I did go and tried to persuade him," Xu Zhutao said. Originally, the Northern and Southern Green Forest Alliances were evenly matched. Who knew that a group of mysterious black clothed knights would charge straight into the Northern Green Forest Alliance's troops and kill them. I protected Alliance Master Ma and even killed a few black clothed men who were chasing after him.”
"Why didn't we know about this?" Qin Xiangning asked. Men in black, why was it men in black again? What did the man in black look like?”
Xu Zhutao said," Those people were all dressed in black. Even their shoes were black. Their faces were covered with black bandages. The weapons they used were strange. Their martial arts moves were also strange. They were not afraid of death. The few people I killed did not even scream.”
" Senior sister apprentice," Tao Siyong said," don't you think these men in black look like the ones we saw in Anlu? Didn't the one who stabbed you also wear black clothes and a mask? And that person wanted to kill you at all costs."”
Xiang Jingyu said," It's just a resemblance. You can't jump to conclusions. There are many evil people in Jianghu who wear black clothes and masks before doing bad things. They also choose to attack at night."”
" What you said makes a lot of sense," Xu Zhutao said." I've met one before, but I didn't expose his identity later."”
"Oh, I wonder where Young Master met such a man in black?" Xiang Jingyu asked in surprise.”
" I met him in Wuchang Prefecture," Xu Zhutao said." But I promised him that I wouldn't expose his identity as long as he returned the stolen items. So even I don't know who he is."”
"The stolen thing!" Xiang Jingyu said. Did Young Master solve another case in Wuchang Prefecture?”
Xu Zhutao said," An important item was stolen from a family in Wuchang Prefecture. I passed by Wuchang and spent a few days to help them find the lost item. As the name of the item is widely spread in Jianghu, I'm worried that it will bring disaster to that family. Please forgive me for not revealing more."”
"Young Master is righteous and righteous. I admire you!" Xiang Jingyu said.”
Xu Zhutao scratched his head awkwardly, thinking that he had only acted because of the reward, so how could he be considered righteous? He said awkwardly,"Miss, you flatter me. Actually, I…I…"
The three Emei elites felt that it was very interesting to see this young and handsome young master's face turn red, but they did not know why he was like this. At this moment, Shangguan Wanqian said,""The so-called righteous person is not my big brother. He is greedy for money.”
The three Emei elites were puzzled. This woman was clearly Xu Zhutao's companion, so why did she turn around and ruin his reputation?"Miss Shangguan, I don't think Young Master Xu is such a person. Why would you say that about him?”
Shangguan Wanqian said," Hmph, my big brother loves money the most. When I just arrived at Wuchang, I heard that someone offered a reward of 1,000 taels of silver for someone to help find the lost item. My big brother only took action because of that 1,000 taels of silver reward!”
The three Emei elites looked at this white-robed young master, who was now famous in Jianghu, as if they were looking at a monster. They did not expect him to be so money-loving. Xu Zhutao was also very embarrassed. Shangguan Wanqian was really too much. He did not know how she had offended him today.
Jade Raksha didn't want to see Xu Zhutao embarrassed, so she said,"" Qian 'er, how can you say that about him? Even a hero needs to eat and stay in a hotel. If he doesn't have money to spend, is he going to steal and rob like the people of the Green Woods? Then do you want to marry a robber in the future?”
Shangguan Wanqian said," I didn't despise him. Who asked him to snatch my meat when we were eating just now?!"”
The Three Beauties of Emei suddenly realized that this Prince Charming had gone to help solve the case because he was short of money. They also suddenly understood what Jade Rakshasa had said about " a hero also needs to eat and stay in a hotel." A hero who lacked money and did not rely on his martial arts to steal and rob but to obtain legitimate income was even more commendable.
Tao Siyong laughed and said,""So this is the White Horse Prince. This is even cuter!”
"Yeah, we've heard a lot about you, Mister White Horse, but we didn't expect you to be such an interesting person!" Qin Xiangning said.”
Shangguan Wanqian said," Who says it's not? Even the owner praised my big brother and wished that he could betroth his daughter to him. Hmph!"”
Xu Zhutao suddenly realized that this girl was jealous of the Huashan Jade Maiden. No wonder.
The few of them laughed and laughed for a long time. Suddenly, they saw Lu Ruohua walking back from outside. They did not know when she left. She walked into the hall and said,"Honored guests, my master invites you!"
Lu Ruohua brought the three of them back to the quiet room. When she entered, she saw that not only was Jingye inside, but there was also another person. The person was wearing a white Taoist robe and looked much older than Jingye. His sideburns were already gray, and he had a pair of big eyes and thick eyebrows. His nose was firm and big, and his thin mouth was tightly closed. He had a dignified expression. His white robe was washed very clean, and he gave people the feeling of a sage just by standing quietly.
Xu Zhutao didn't know who it was, so he cupped his fists and said,"I'm Xu Zhutao, greetings, Nun!”
The female Daoist waved her hand and said,"Please sit, Young Master Xu."”
"Honored guests, this is my sect master, and her Daoist name is Jingyu. She is also my eldest senior sister."”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Jade Rakshasa said.
Nun Jingyu said,"Please take a seat. I have some things to ask you."”
The few of them sat down. Xu Zhutao said,"May I ask Senior what happened to Emei to make it so heavily guarded?”
"My Junior Sister must have told Young Master Xu about the hatred between our four great sects and the Demonic Sect, right?"”
"Nun Jingye has already informed us, but I don't know what else has happened in Emei."”
Nun Jingyu sighed and said,"Does Young Master know that I have four junior sisters?”
Xu Zhutao said,"I know a little. Besides Senior and Nun Jingye, there are also Nun Jingyao, Nun Jingmiao, and Nun Jingyao."”
"But now, the only ones safe and sound on my Mount Emei are me, Junior Sister Jingye, and Junior Sister Jingchen."”
"Senior, do you mean that Nun Jingxiang and Nun Jingmiao have gone missing?" Xu Zhutao asked in surprise.”
Nun Jingyu said," A month ago, I sent three disciples, Xiang, Tao, and Qin, down the mountain to investigate the traces of the remaining evil cult members. Later, before these three disciples returned to the mountain, my junior sister, Jing Jiu, also went down the mountain to meet up with Shaolin's Master Du Ku, Kunlun Sect's Daoist Priest Qi Jin, and Wudang Sect's Daoist Priest Zhi Zhen. They discussed how to deal with the evil cult together. The four of them each brought a disciple to discuss matters in the Dabie Mountains in Henan Province. Who knew that the four of them would be plotted against and die an unnatural death?"”
"Ah!" When the three of them heard this news, they couldn't help but cry out in surprise. These four people were all famous figures in the martial arts world. Their martial arts were so strong that they rarely met opponents. Who could kill the four of them in one fell swoop? This was absolutely impossible.
Xu Zhutao said," That's impossible. I've heard about your kung fu. You're all top-notch masters in Jianghu. No one can kill you in one fell swoop. I wonder what kind of fatal injury you suffered?"”
Nun Jingyu said," The disciples who went with the four of them all checked the corpses of their respective masters. The four masters did not have a single wound on their bodies. This matter is really strange and unpredictable."”
" There's not a single wound on his body," Xu Zhutao said." Could it be that he was killed by an extremely soft palm force, such as the Melting Gold Silk Palm or the Dark Yin Palm? Is there really no palm print or fist mark?"”
Nun Jingyu said," No. The disciples who accompanied us had already examined them when they found them. We also examined them in detail after they were sent back to the mountain. We could even find that there was no damage to their internal organs. They did not die from internal injuries. Besides, no one could kill four top-notch experts with just a fist and palm technique."”
"It's too strange that he didn't suffer any injuries and died an unnatural death," Xu Zhutao said. Then how could the four accompanying disciples be safe and sound?”
Nun Jingyu said," The four masters found a hidden place for a secret discussion and sent their disciples to guard outside. According to the disciples who came back, that place was very hidden. It was a towering hill surrounded by deep valleys. There was only one path up. The four disciples were guarding the entrance of the path five miles up the mountain, so the four disciples escaped.”
"Those with acute hearing can hear sounds from five miles away. Did the four disciples hear anything unusual?" Xu Zhutao asked. For example, the sounds of fighting, gasps, and howls.”
"I didn't hear any abnormal sounds, nor did I see anything abnormal."”
" I didn't hear any unusual sounds or see anything unusual," Xu Zhutao said." The four seniors have no injuries on their bodies. This is really strange." It is said that the powerful poisons in Jianghu are colorless and odorless, and can hurt people without being seen. Could it be that the four seniors were poisoned?”
Nun Jingyu said,"We suspected that they were poisoned at first, but the four of them are all people with strong internal energy. Our sect's Ask No Formula, Kunlun's Smiling Dust Formula, Wudang's Purple Clouds Technique, and Shaolin's Tendon Changing Classic. When these internal energy are practiced to a high level, not only can they strengthen the body, but they can also heal and remove poison. Especially Shaolin's Tendon Changing Classic, which can cleanse the essence and reconstruct the meridians. With the cultivation of these four people's internal energy, they can definitely use internal energy to suppress the poison from acting up. Ordinary poison will definitely not hurt them. We thought about it for a long time, but we didn't know what kind of poison was so powerful.”
"Those four seniors 'bodies…were they cremated or sent back to the mountain?" Xu Zhutao asked.”
Nun Jingyu said," With such a thing happening, the four disciples were naturally in a panic. They didn't dare to burn the bodies without authorization. They each sent the bodies of their masters back to the mountain. Ten days ago, after we sent them back, we examined the bodies in detail. There were no wounds on the bodies.”
Xu Zhutao said," Please try to recall if there were any abnormalities on Nun Jingxiang's body after she died. It might not be wounds or scars. Anything that you think is unusual may be a useful clue."”
Nun Jingye pondered for a while and said,"Sect Master Senior Sister, after Senior Sister Jing Hua died, there was indeed something unusual about her. Didn't we find a tiny red dot on her back? We thought it was a mosquito bite.”
"Yes, I would have forgotten if Junior Sister didn't mention it. We all thought it was a mosquito bite."”
"How can a mosquito bite kill a person?" Xu Zhutao said. Could it be that there was some kind of ferocious poison in that area? No, if the four seniors died from the mouths of poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts, they would definitely leave scars. There was no poison in the world that could kill four top experts without leaving any traces.”
Nun Jingyu said," We also thought that it might be some kind of ferocious poison. However, those four accompanying disciples stayed on that mountain for a long time without encountering any mishaps. It's really very strange."”
"The four of them are completely unscathed. It's not like they were poisoned," Xu Zhutao said. May I ask if Abbess Jingxiang has been…buried?”
Nun Jingyu's face revealed a look of horror, as if there was some fear and uneasiness in her heart. She said,"Not only was he not buried, but the corpse was sent back to a side room outside. However, even the corpse disappeared.”
When the three of them heard this, they were all shocked. Seeing that Nun Jingye was also shocked, they wondered why even the corpse had disappeared. Could it be that there was someone in this world who could steal a corpse?
Xu Zhutao calmed down his excitement and said angrily,"I've only heard of grave robbers. There's actually such a heartless person in the world! Could it be that someone had come to steal a corpse?”
Nun Jingyu was very indignant and said,"Junior Martial Sister Jing Jiu is kind-hearted by nature and has never done anything evil. Now, not only has she been secretly harmed, but she can't even die in peace. If we can find out who did it, our Emei will never let him go!”
The three of them saw that Jingye Nun was also crying quietly with a grief-stricken expression. They thought that they must have had a deep relationship with each other since they were young. Now that their senior sister had not only died unnaturally, but even her corpse was missing, they felt sad and indignant, but also sympathized with Emei.
"A dead person cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences!" Xu Zhutao said.”
Nun Jingye said," We senior sisters have always been like brothers. Now, not only is Senior Sister Jingjiu's body missing, but even Senior Sister Jingmiao has gone missing. That's why we feel inexplicable grief. Please don't laugh at us."”
