After coming to this conclusion, Zhu Xingxiu couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a look of joy on his face.
He quickly walked to the door and looked around, but found that he didn't see anyone appearing.
Even using spiritual sense to explore everything around you is extremely normal.
Ling Tian's figure has long ceased to be within the scope of this courtyard.
Moreover, Zhu Xingxiu did not find anyone similar to a spy. Everything was so normal, just like usual.
"It seems true. Master has not discovered my secret."
Zhu Xingxiu closed the door and then came to the bookcase.
However, he did not touch the dusty book that he had laid out before.
Instead, he touched a normal book that looked extremely clean right below it.
With a creak, the entire bookcase began to move slowly, and then a secret door inside opened instantly.
Zhu Xingxiu entered the secret door without any hesitation.
As soon as I entered, the secret door closed, and the separated bookcase began to slowly close again.
At this moment, the whole room was extremely quiet.
Ling Tian also returned to the main hall, pacing back and forth, thinking constantly.
After a while, he stopped and said, "Here comes someone! Call Mu Chenxue for me."
"Yes, Lord Cult Leader."
The guard who had been standing outside the hall responded hurriedly and made a quick announcement.
A moment later, Mu Chenxue hurried over.
Looking at Ling Tian with a serious and indifferent face, Mu Chenxue seemed to sense what had happened.
Ling Tian didn't speak, he just wanted to look around, then turned and walked towards the secret room.
Seeing this, Mu Chenxue completely understood what Ling Tian meant.
As the saying goes, walls have ears.
Mu Chenxue quickly followed Ling Tian towards the secret room.
"Master, call Chen Xue, what are your instructions?" Mu Chenxue asked cautiously.
"Chen Xue, my master went to see Zhu Xingxiu today." Ling Tian was silent for a long time before speaking slowly.
Hearing this, Mu Chenxue's heart tightened, what on earth is going on? Didn't the master say before that you shouldn't alert others? Why did you go to see Zhu Xingxiu yourself
Seeing the confusion on Mu Chenxue's face, Ling Tian spoke again.
"Master knows what you think. However, I have thought carefully about doing this. You should just do your own thing."
"Yes, Master." Mu Chenxue did not dare to say anything.
"Actually, what I want to tell you when I called you here is that except for monitoring when you are with him, you must show up the rest of the time."
"Ah? Why is this?" Mu Chenxue was completely confused.
How to monitor this? Is it still surveillance
"Listen to what my master will tell you." Ling Tian once again brought the words back to him.
Mu Chenxue did not dare to say anything. I can only listen quietly.
"My master went to look for Zhu Xingxiu today and found a lot of suspicious things. Especially some of the things he did."
Mu Chenxue frowned. He really didn't expect that the master would actually investigate.
"He ordered cold scented pills for Qiu Zhenghe."
Hearing this, Mu Chenxue was even more confused.
Isn’t Lengxiang Pills pretty good? It not only calms the mind but also regulates the flow of spiritual energy in the meridians.
"Is there something wrong with this?" Mu Chenxue finally couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, according to ordinary people, Lengxiang Pills are of great benefit. But for Qiu Zhenghe, it has only disadvantages."
"Because his body, meridians, etc. were completely reshaped by pure external force. Moreover, he was also blessed by the water of the Demonic Sanctuary. His physique is different from ordinary people. Especially the spiritual power in his body is different from that of Leng Xiang. I won’t deal with it.”
"Really?" Mu Chenxue was a little surprised.
After all, if Ling Tian didn't tell her, she really didn't know.
"But, maybe Zhu Xingxiu, like Chen Xue, doesn't understand this? So..."
Hearing this, Ling Tian was not in a hurry to refute Mu Chenxue.
Instead, he continued.
"That's what I thought at first. But, let me ask you, would you put a hair in the middle of the door of your room?"
"Ah? Hairpin?" Mu Chenxue was shocked: "Master, do you mean that Zhu Xingxiu really did this?"
"That's right. Moreover, he also ordered cold scented pills in his room. The scent is exactly the same as the one in Qiu Zhenghe's room."
"My master observed carefully and found that there are ingredients of Yuan Moxiang in this cold fragrance pill."
"Yuan Moxiang?!!"
Mu Chenxue was completely shocked when she heard this name.
"This kind of thing is said to be able to control other people's minds. It is a must-have for demons to control their puppets!"
"That's right. That's why it's strange to be a teacher." Ling Tian took a deep breath.
"When did you say that Zhu Xingxiu started to have contact with the demons?"
"This is not certain yet, Master." Mu Chenxue felt as if Ling Tian had found some definite evidence.
"His room is filled with many books, all about formations, elixirs and the like. And most of them involve forbidden arts."
"Do you understand what my master said?" Ling Tian felt that he had made it very clear.
"I understand, but my disciple thinks it's better to investigate carefully."
"Of course. So, as my teacher said before, you should do whatever you want. But never spy on him on weekdays. Once you spy on him, all your efforts will be in vain."
"I understand, Master." Mu Chenxue nodded in agreement.
She knew that Ling Tian must have found something that pointed to something clearly this time.
"Master, then the disciple will practice more with Zhu Xingxiu. Consolidate the foundation of cultivation as soon as possible. Of course, surveillance will not fall behind."
"Just understand. Remember to explain it clearly to Gou Wenyao and Shen Wanqing. As for the reason, don't mention being a teacher."
Mu Chenxue nodded: "I completely understand. Disciple will handle it properly."
Within a moment, Mu Chenxue walked out of the secret room. Just when they arrived at the main hall, they unexpectedly met Zhu Xingxiu.
Just when the two of them met, Zhu Xingxiu seemed to be dodging.
"Senior Brother Zhu, why are you here? Are you looking for Master?"
Mu Chenxue talked to Zhu Xingxiu as usual.
Zhu Xingxiu smiled slightly: "It's okay. I just walked around and looked around."
"Oh, I thought Senior Brother Zhu was looking for Master, but Master is in the secret room. He just chatted with me for a while."
"Oh? What are you talking about?" Zhu Xingxiu asked curiously.
"It's nothing. I just have to rely more on Senior Brother Zhu for my future cultivation. Master said that Qiu Zhenghe and I have very poor foundations."
"Especially for me, if my foundation was a little better, I wouldn't be so crazy."
"So, Master asked me to learn more from Senior Brother Zhu."
Mu Chenxue looked at Zhu Xingxiu shyly.
"It's okay. I will try my best."
Zhu Xingxiu didn't say any more polite words, and then left the hall after chatting for a while.
Mu Chenxue also returned to her residence as if nothing was wrong.
But she knew that Zhu Xingxiu had been secretly observing her.
"I really didn't expect that he would strike first. It seems that Master's words were not groundless."
Mu Chenxue entered the room and closed the door. One person murmured in his heart.
She knew that now, it was impossible for her to find Ling Tian. It is even more impossible to find Gou Wenyao and Shen Wanqing.
Maybe when Zhu Xingxiu came to find her, he had already gone to Gou Wenyao and Shen Wanqing.
"It seems our competition has officially begun."
