the next day.
Shao Ci was beaten half to death again yesterday, even with Si Wuyue's arms, he didn't feel any comfort at all (it's better to say that he didn't get scared to death because of his strong psychological quality), and he woke up this morning feeling a little sore all over.
... Speaking of which, the advantage of being beaten for so many days is that the body's ability to respond has become stronger.
But no matter how fast the salted fish's reaction ability is during the Qi training period, what's the use of it!
As soon as they went out, they received a notice to gather in the hall. Shao Ci was walking on the road, always feeling a bit uneasy.
Manager Zhang had arranged such a dangerous thing for him during the last assembly (although it was considered a favor to Shao Ci), it was obvious that nothing good would happen this time.
When Shao Ci came to the hall, he found that the manager and a senior servant were sitting at the top, and the chairs they were sitting on were obviously much better than the chairs Zhang Zhang sat on in the past. There were several guards beside the two of them.
The chief steward is in charge of all the high-ranking servants in the palace, and his cultivation is at the golden core stage. It can be said that he can completely crush all the people here... It is probably not easy for him to come here.
And that high-ranking servant looked familiar, Shao Ci remembered that he seemed to be someone he had met last time.
Zhang Zhang was flattering these two people, and even drove out the servants. He served tea and poured water himself, and almost brought the teacup to the other party's mouth.
The manager's expression was very indifferent, obviously he was flattered too much, and he didn't pay attention to Zhang Zhang's affairs at all.
But that high-ranking servant was the one who was successfully curry favored by Zhang Zhang. His name was Qin Zhi.
Qin Zhi is a member of the Qin family, one of the big families in the demon world, and he was originally sent to make a furnace for Lord Mozun, but he didn't expect that Lord Mozun didn't need it, so he had to be wronged to be a servant. Therefore, he has a high status among servants, and he has basically never done anything like a servant, and his behavior is relatively arrogant.
The other mid-level servants looked at the two in front of them with extremely nervous expressions. Although on the surface everyone is a servant, the top-level servants are far behind them, and they don't even have the courage to please them. .
When everyone was assembled, Zhang Zhang was still a little bit reluctant, feeling that if he flattered a few more times, he would be able to please the manager.
Then Zhang Zhangshi said: "Since everyone is here, please tell me what is the important thing for you to come here today." He said with a proud look at Shao Ci.
When Shao Ci saw Zhang Zhang's eyes, he felt more and more bad. Zhang Zhang must have done something terrible.
Although Shao Ci has Mozun as his backer, he feels that Si Wuyue's volatile personality is too much trouble, and most of the time it's better to rely on himself, otherwise Si Wuyue will be killed accidentally by Si Wuyue up.
In fact, Zhang Zhang came up with a plan when he learned that Shao Ci was not there at night, and decided to frame Shao Ci for stealing something at night.
After all, he forgot to take back the jade talisman he gave Shao Ci last time. Obviously, Shao Ci can enter the palace at any time... No matter how I think about it, Zhang Zhang feels safe.
Moreover, Shao Ci's stealing of a spiritual herb was nothing, it was just a few lashes and it was resolved... But now he dares to steal something from the Demon Lord's palace, he will not only be killed, but will be broken into pieces.
But he couldn't do it alone, so Zhang Zhang asked Qin Zhi to do it, and promised a lot of benefits.
This is not the first time that the two have worked together. Many people who dislike Zhang Zhang have to find Qin Zhi to solve it together. Naturally, it is the same this time.
And yesterday, Qin Zhi had taken a piece of decoration in the palace for him, and he had already buried it in Shao Ci's small courtyard. It can be easily found out as long as he investigates, not to mention the decorations on these decorations. All have special marks.
Although this strategy is a bit simple, it is enough to make Shao Ci speechless.
The more Zhang Zhang thought about it, the more he felt that his plan was too perfect.
I just don't know why the manager came this time, it's just a decoration, can this matter be big enough to affect the manager
When Zhang Zhang was thinking this way, he heard the main pipe behind him: "A very serious thing happened this time, and something was lost in the palace. What was lost was that the former Master Mozun kept in the palace Come down to practice the exercises."
Although it sounds serious, it is actually a fairly common technique, so only two people were sent to investigate, otherwise the guards would have surrounded the place long ago.
"Because the aura on the cultivation method points to this place, my lord and I are here to investigate." Qin Zhi said.
The others were stunned for a moment.
"Someone among us is going to steal the exercises?" "Who the hell has the guts." "It's definitely not me. I haven't been to the palace since I became a middle-level servant."
For a while, everyone was talking about it.
Zhang Zhangshi's face changed instantly, and he was shocked, "!" Isn't it just an ordinary decoration? ! How could it become such a precious thing as practicing exercises? Could it be that the plan has changed
Shao Ci was also extremely shocked. He had already guessed that this matter was probably done by Zhang Guanshi to deceive himself, but it was just to kill a middle-level servant, and he dared to practice exercises or something. Zhang Guanshi was so arrogant. It's reached the level of death.
Then, the manager looked at the long manager Zhang, and said coldly: "Zhang manager, what do you know?"
Zhang Zhang thought that he might be tricked by Qin Zhi, but now he has no choice but to come according to the original plan, and immediately said: "During this time, there is only one person going up the mountain." .”
Everyone's eyes immediately shifted to Shao Ci.
"And I don't know if this person did it on purpose, but he hid the jade talisman that entered the formation." The more Zhang Zhang said, the more he felt that what he said was true, "I'm afraid this person is the one who stole it." stuff people."
Besides, Shao Ci's absence at night must be something sneaky, so he is not wronged.
Shao Ci immediately said: "I don't know about this at all."
"Then how do you explain that you were not in the room at night?" Zhang Zhang asked sharply.
Shao Ci: "...Master Zhang, how do you know I'm not in the room, could it be that you are spying on me?"
Everyone around looked at Mr. Zhang with strange eyes, and even the manager seemed to understand something.
Zhang Zhang was so angry that he was about to tremble, and said angrily, "It's just that I've noticed something wrong with you, so I just paid attention to it, how do you explain this matter?!"
Shao Ci knew that Zhang Zhang had colluded with the high-ranking servants, and he was afraid that he would be in trouble this time, but it was impossible for him to just sit and wait for death, so he said: "I just like to practice outside, I think only by practicing outside Get more aura. Is there a rule here that we must practice in the room at night?"
"You are making unreasonable words!" Zhang Zhang said.
"Hmph, of course you stole it." Zhang's nephew couldn't help but said, "Otherwise, how could you have climbed from the first floor of Qi training to the fifth floor of Qi training in just half a month?" The fact that he was beaten up by Fatty by Shao Ci brooded on his heart.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Shao Ci in astonishment. They didn't know about such an explosive incident. Shao Ci's cultivation was already at the fifth level of Qi training? !
Such a fast cultivation speed is simply shocking, even with dual cultivation, it is impossible to achieve this in such a short period of time.
Originally, everyone thought that Zhang Zhang was going to slander Shao Ci for this matter, but they didn't expect such a thing to happen. How suspicious is Shao Ci.
"That's right, it's just an ordinary trash with three spiritual roots who has only been promoted to a middle-level servant. He doesn't even have good exercises. How could he have cultivated to such a level in such a short period of time." Zhang Zhang suddenly felt that something was wrong. The truth is definitely what he said, "I think you must have stolen the exercises from the palace and used the best exercises to cultivate to such an extent."
Shao Ci: "..." Damn it, suddenly I don't know what to say.
Even if he was a passerby, he would feel as if he had stolen it when he heard such words.
The manager frowned. Anyway, these mid-level servants and stewards in front of him are just insignificant people. No matter who they are, they just need to catch them first and explain it. Will be the master of such a middle-class servant... The manager already has an idea in his mind.
And Qin Zhi smiled coldly, and said: "It's your luck that Lord Mozun didn't execute you last time. I didn't expect that you would steal something in the palace based on this. You are really daring."
Zhang Zhangshi immediately said: "Yes, this person usually has unclean hands and feet. When he was a low-level servant, he shamelessly stole a spiritual herb. At that time, he let you go. I didn't expect that his nature would be hard to change. Dare to steal the cultivation technique."
Shao Ci: "!" Damn it, this is really a mouthful, it is obviously Zhang's nephew who is in charge, and he is so shameless.
The manager suddenly frowned and said, "Then why do you let such a person become a middle servant?"
Mr. Zhang was overjoyed, knowing that now is the opportunity to teach the Mr. Zhuang who has been at odds with him, so he said, "It's not that Mr. Zhuang is covering up, and Mr. Zhuang took the benefits of this guy." , without asking right and wrong, directly promote him to a middle-level servant."
Everyone was shocked by Zhang Zhang's shamelessness. Everyone knew that Zhang Zhang was the one who accepted benefits before allowing others to be middle-level servants. Most of the middle-level servants here had given benefits back then.
"It's all because of this kind of people that the atmosphere is corrupted," the manager said with a stern face, "It seems that we need to clean it up."
Manager Zhang was very excited. With the manager's words, the manager of Zhuang would not be able to get ahead again in the future.
Then the manager took a sip of tea and said: "Don't delay for so long, the others are still waiting to explain, just bring this person up."
From the beginning to the end, they didn't intend to ask Shao Ci a word, and it was useless to care what Shao Ci said.
Then several guards grabbed Shao Ci and escorted him up the mountain. In order to find an opportunity to hug his thigh, Guanshi even cheekily said that he could provide evidence, and he insisted on pulling his nephew to follow.
Several people walked quickly, and arrived in the main hall in a short while.
At this time, many people have gathered here, most of them are Si Wuyue's cronies, and their cultivation bases are basically above Jindan.
Everyone looked at Shao Ci indifferently, and they didn't expect there to be such a bold servant who dared to steal from the Demon Lord.
And Qin Zhi held Shao Ci to kneel on the ground, very proud of himself.
Today's incident is so big, no one should find out what he did secretly. As long as this is done, his status in the Qin family will naturally rise, and he won't have to be a servant here in the future.
However, it would be troublesome if Mr. Mozun asked someone to search for his soul, and he had to be killed.
Qin Zhi then said coldly: "Seeing such a person is like dirtying Lord Mozun's eyes. How can Lord Mozun do it himself?"
As soon as he said that, he made a move directly, and a wind blade flew directly in the direction of Shao Ci.
He moved very fast, and the cultivation of the others far surpassed Qin Zhi's. Even if they all reacted, they didn't make any moves.
Anyway, Shao Ci, a middle-level servant, died as soon as he died. Qin Zhi was a member of the Qin family and could not be easily offended.
Qin Zhi is a cultivator who established the foundation, so this move can easily kill Shao Ci.
Shao Ci was startled, and his body had to react naturally. Anyway, he was beaten by Si Wuyue's puppets every night these days, and now he has some conditioned reflexes.
Even if he was tied up, Shao Ci directly lowered his body and just avoided the wind blade. For a while, he was in a cold sweat. For the first time, he was glad that he had practiced fighting well, otherwise he would just eat lunch now.
The manager also has a laissez-faire attitude. He also wants to establish a good relationship with the Qin family. He usually turns a blind eye to Qin Zhi's behavior. no response.
But after Qin Zhi failed to kill Shao Ci once, he took out his long sword and stabbed directly at Shao Ci.
Shao Ci: "!" Damn it, this is the rhythm of not caring about anything and just wanting to silence, other people don't care.
After rolling a few times with difficulty on the ground to avoid it, Shao Ci was accidentally caught by the rope, and the sword was about to stab his chest, but the token in Shao Ci's arms shone with light.
The light formed a shield, blocking Shao Ci's body, Qin Zhi's sword pierced it, and it broke directly.
Shao Ci breathed a sigh of relief: "...!" I didn't expect this token to have the effect of protecting the body. It seems that I will have to carry it with me in the future.
Qin Zhi was stunned, and wanted to take out other weapons to attack as if he didn't believe in evil, but his body was entangled by a puff of smoke. There was a cold force in that puff of smoke. After it invaded his body, he felt that his meridians were about to be frozen , Qin Zhi suddenly fell to his knees on the ground in pain.
The manager turned pale with shock, if he read it correctly, isn't this the skill of Lord Mozun, how could it be used on Qin Zhi suddenly.
The next moment, the surrounding temperature turned cold instantly, and the light in the originally bright room dimmed. Everyone's expressions became frenzied.
And Si Wuyue came out of the inner room with a smile on her face, her exquisite appearance was much taller than everyone in the hall.
Everyone was very nervous and saluted one after another. They were also called over this time, and it must not be just for the trivial matter of the stolen exercises. There must be more important things to talk about.
The manager immediately stepped forward respectfully, "I pay my respects to Lord Mozun."
"En." Si Wuyue nodded lightly, looked at the two people in front of her, "What's going on?"
When Zhang Zhang saw Qin Zhi's painful appearance on the ground, he thought that Lord Mozun was going to make decisions for Qin Zhi. The thief has affected your mood, Lord Mozun, so you want to kill him... But who knows what this little thief has done to make servant Qin so painful."
But the manager stood aside and didn't dare to say a word. Qin Zhi's injury just now was obviously caused by Lord Mozun, so he wouldn't say such stupid things like the manager Zhang.
"Is that so?" Si Wuyue walked forward slowly, looked at Qin Zhi on the ground, and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Qin Zhi gritted his teeth, "I don't know anything." But he already understood in his heart that Si Wuyue probably knew that he did it all by himself.
But Qin Zhi still had a sense of luck in his heart, if it was just a mere exercise, Lord Mozun probably would not do anything to him for the sake of the Qin family.
"Do you think you can fool the past by doing this?" Si Wuyue said indifferently: "Well, do you think that by stealing this exercise, you can cover up your information transmission to the outside world?"
Qin Zhi looked over in astonishment, "You, you know?"
The others were also very shocked. Those who had been friends with Qin Zhi felt extremely bad in an instant. It seems that today they are going to attack the Qin family.
Shao Ci was still caught by the rope, kneeling on the ground in a bad posture, thinking that this Qin Zhi is too young to see that Si Wuyue's skills are so weird, obviously he is not someone easy to deceive ?→_→
I'm afraid that those seemingly deserted places are covered with countless invisible eyes. After all, he has countless fools who can drive...
Oops, speaking of it this way, Shao Ci felt that he was also in danger.
"Even so, so what." Qin Zhi gritted his teeth, and said forcefully, "I am from the Qin family, if Master Mozun kills me, the Qin family will not let it go..."
After all, Si Wuyue just took office not long ago, if the Qin family rebelled, it would easily cause turmoil in the demon world, and if something bad happened, he would even be overthrown just like the previous demon king.
The more Qin Zhi thought about it, the more he felt that Si Wuyue would not act because of this moment.
And the next moment, Si Wuyue walked in front of him with a smile, "That's right, if you kill you like this... it's really troublesome."
Qin Zhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, his expression stiffened instantly.
Si Wuyue directly pressed his hand on the top of his head, and immediately used the soul searching technique.
The soul search technique can directly see all the memories of the other party, but the damage is extremely great, and basically the person who has been searched for the soul will be unconscious.
"If you kill people casually, you won't be able to search for souls." Si Wuyue was doing this kind of thing with a smile on her face.
The next moment, a water mirror appeared in the air, and everyone could see it clearly. The picture inside was Qin Zhi's memory.
It clearly shows that Qin Zhi received the news from the Qin family, then spread the information, and even stole this exercise, trying to use this matter to cover up the previous matter.
Everyone's mood suddenly sank.
Obviously, the Qin family is restless, and it seems that the devil world will not be peaceful for a few days.
"The Qin family is really ambitious lately." Si Wuyue said, "They actually got on the line with my ineffective younger brother. It seems that it's time to deal with them."
Everyone was even more surprised, and only then remembered that Mozun still had a son.
Si Wuxing was also the heir with high hopes at the beginning, but it was only after he left the Demon Realm that the Mozun brought Si Wuyue back.
Unexpectedly, Si Wuxing didn't know when he would return to the Demon Realm, so he went to the Qin family
Shao Ci: "!" Damn it, what does Si Wuxing want to do, according to Si Wuxing's force value, he will definitely be beaten to death by his brother.
"Okay, do you have any comments?" Si Wuyue looked at the others, "Who wants to speak for the Qin family?"
Where did the others dare to say anything, they all shook their heads.
And Guanshi Zhang wanted to hit the wall directly to die, he hugged Qin Zhi's thigh these days, wouldn't he be noticed by Lord Mozun, and then treat him as a member of the Qin family, right? ... No no, Master Mozun actually read those memories, he must know that he didn't know.
But those memories about myself are not normal memories!
When Guanshi Zhang was extremely panicked, Si Wuyue didn't pay attention to him at all, but walked in front of Shao Ci.
Only then did everyone notice Shao Ci who was still tied up.
After reading Qin Zhi's memory, everyone knew that Shao Ci was wronged, but they didn't feel anything.
He's just a middle-level servant, since he was wronged, he can just send him back. Shouldn't Master Mozun personally compensate him
Then, under the astonished eyes of everyone, Si Wuyue bent down and helped Shao Ci untie the rope himself.
Is this still the Master Mozun they knew? ! To be so kind to a mid-level servant...
Finding that Shao Ci's wrists were all scarred by the rope, Si Wuyue's eyes showed a bit of distress, and she lowered her head and kissed the red scars directly.
Shao Ci: "!" Wait, although it is good to treat him, but this scene is not right at all!
Everyone has seen this scene, hey!
That's right, everyone else clearly saw the scene in front of them.
Their incomparably noble Master Mozun actually untied a middle-level servant himself, and even kissed the other's hand!
What is going on in this world, is what they see really real? !
The next moment, Si Wuyue supported Shao Ci to stand up, took Shao Ci's hand, held him in her arms, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this is the reason why I asked everyone to come here today. I This one in my arms is my future Taoist companion."
Everyone was completely confused: "!?"
Wait, what did Lord Mozun just say
This middle servant is his Taoist companion, how is it possible? Obviously Lord Mozun refused even those stunning furnaces, why did he take a fancy to a mid-level servant? !
They are all dreaming... This kind of thing is even more abnormal than the sudden resurrection of the dead previous Demon Lord!
Shao Ci himself was also stunned, looking at Si Wuyue in astonishment: "???" Fuck, why, didn't I mention this at all before... What he said was that he would give Si Wuyue a hand when he reached the foundation building stage. Wuyue is just a slave.
Si Wuyue could tell what Shao Ci was thinking at a glance, and said with a smile: "After all, it's still too far away from your foundation establishment. Before that, the only way to have you come to my side."
Shao Ci: "!" What you said seems to be very reasonable and people can't refute it, but it's strange to think about it. Hey!
Who would decide to marry a servant because he doesn't have enough strength to keep him with him
Sure enough, he couldn't understand Si Wuyue's thoughts.
Zhang Guanshi's cold sweat poured down even more crazily. At this moment, he felt that he was a fool for confronting Shao Ci before... If this continues, he will definitely die a miserable death.
But the next moment, Guanshi Zhang's nephew rushed out from the side, angrily said: "Master Mozun, this man is extremely shameless, even stealing spiritual herbs, you must not be fooled by him!"
For the first time, Zhang Zhang felt the urge to kill his disappointing nephew, but before he could do it, Master Mozun smiled so slightly, his nephew's head exploded like that, and instantly became a corpse.
Looking at the corpse, Zhang Zhang felt that he saw his future self in an instant.
"Anyone else have anything to say?" Si Wuyue smiled, "If someone thinks it's inappropriate, you can say it."
After seeing the news of that person's death just now, how could anyone speak stupidly.
Besides, since Lord Mozun likes him, they can only congratulate him even if the other party is a piece of grass.
The next moment, Zhang Zhang gritted his teeth, rushed forward, knelt down in front of Shao Ci, hugged his leg, and said tearfully: "The villain has made too many mistakes before, please give the villain a lesson." A chance for redemption!"
Up to now, I don't care about face anymore. The most important thing is to save my own life first. Anyway, Shao Ci seems to be quite innocent, so he should soften his heart soon.
Shao Ci: "..." I once again realized how shameless Zhang Zhang is. Just now he was so arrogant that he wanted to kill himself, but now he can hug his thigh and cry bitterly.
Si Wuyue's eyes turned cold, "Let go."
Only then did Zhang Zhangshi realize that he seemed to have done something he shouldn't have done, so he let go of his hand quickly.
Si Wuyue didn't even bother to say anything, but just glanced at Zhang Zhangshi lightly.
The next moment, Zhang Zhangshi's whole body was engulfed in the black mist, and countless evil spirits entangled him, gnawing at him continuously, and the screams of misery continued to resound.
Shao Ci: "..." If he was facing Ling Wangchen, this Steward Zhang might still have a chance to survive... But since he is facing Si Wuyue now, it would be easy for him to die so soon.
The eyes of the others didn't change for a moment, apparently they had long been used to Si Wuyue's practice of killing people at the slightest disagreement.
"Since everyone has no opinion." Si Wuyue said: "The big wedding will be held in three months."
This big wedding must be held in an extremely grand manner, and he wanted all the respectable monks from the entire devil world to attend.
Shao Ci: "..." This, will this progress be too fast? Hey, he is not ready for getting married so soon.
Si Wuyue looked at Shao Ci, and said softly: "Don't worry, I will take care of everything, you just have to practice hard."
Shao Ci: "!!" If you don't want to be a bodyguard anymore, why are you going to be beaten up by those puppets
...
…
After hearing the news, all the middle servants were stunned.
Why did things turn out like this, I thought Shao Ci would just die like this, but in the end he turned into the Taoist partner of Lord Mozun? !
Speaking of which, it was the same last time. I thought Shao Ci would be killed after delivering the letter, but he came back alive. Now that I think about it, it must have been that time when he hooked up with His Highness Mozun.
Everyone thought of some details more and more, such as why Shao Ci is not there every night, such as why his cultivation base has improved by leaps and bounds, it turned out that it was because he hooked up with Lord Mozun!
It's definitely not because of good luck that such a person didn't die, it must be because of strength! How on earth did he have such powerful means!
For a while, everyone regretted why they didn't have a good relationship with Shao Ci before, otherwise, even if they didn't hug each other, they should let the other party teach them how to get Mr. Mozun.
However, Mr. Zhuang, who had mentored Shao Ci before, was promoted, and his limelight was a bit more than Mr. Zhang's in the past.
Everyone now knows that he has a good relationship with Master Moxiu's Taoist companion, so naturally they all come to curry favor.
It's just that Mr. Zhuang is obsessed with the study of spiritual herbs, and he doesn't accept others' favors much.
—
The news that Master Mozun is about to get married spreads throughout the entire Demon Realm in an instant, and the other party is just a mid-level servant in the Qi training period, which is also the most shocking thing about this matter.
People from the major families and sects were stunned, and they didn't know what kind of taste Lord Mozun had. They confiscated all the people they sent over, and instead they took a fancy to a mid-level servant in the Qi training period
When the Qin family heard the news of Qin Zhi's death, they immediately quarreled with the Mozun, saying that they did not support such an illegitimate child as a Mozun, and naturally they would not attend the wedding.
And those sects and families that had good relations with the Qin family also stood in line one after another, and for a while, one-third of the monks in the demon world were unwilling to come.
And another third are diehards who have seen Si Wuyue's strength. The last third is a bit of fluff, and it's entirely up to the circumstances.
Most of these people, headed by the Qin family, were very arrogant when they took office as Mozun, and they had never seen Si Wuyue's strength, so they thought he was just a hot-headed brat.
Facing the attitude of these people, Si Wuyue just smiled.
Compared with those things now, the wedding with Shao Ci is more important.
