Xie Jiuniang and Xuanyuan You, two wicked people, started to test the medicine on Wu Tong one by one.
Wu Tong was lucky, and he was not killed by the two men before dawn. The hatred was great, but the two men dared to play like this because they were sure that Wu Tong would not dare to retaliate against them.
The two men figured out the effects of the various medicines on Wu Tong. Xuanyuan You was afraid that he had killed him, so he gave Wu Tong a detoxification pill before leaving.
Before Xuanyuan You left, he deliberately gloated to Xie Jiuniang and said, "I didn't expect that someone as sinister as Wu Tong would be used as a gun."
"Ge Guisheng probably thought he was stupid and easy to take advantage of. So, he fell into the trap with just one sentence."
Xie Jiuniang spoke with disdain.
Wu Tong's eyelids trembled.
The two people seemed not to notice that Wu Tong was awake, and they walked out while chatting.
When they were far away, Xuanyuan You winked at Xie Jiuniang.
Xie Jiuniang pretended not to understand, stroking her chin and thoughtfully asked, "Is Ge Guisheng really the one with the greatest motive?"
"Didn't you suspect him a long time ago and that's why you asked me to cooperate?"
"But I have no evidence."
"Isn't this obvious? What other evidence do you need? He has also teamed up with a bunch of people to exclude your Xie family."
Exclusion
Xie Jiuniang's mouth twitched.
After being in No. 4 Mountain for such a long time, she really didn't feel any sense of exclusion. It's no wonder that she overlooked it. The children of the Xie family might not feel it either, otherwise, Xie Xu would not have said that he only offended Wu Tong.
"I'll help you investigate this matter when we get back." Xuanyuan You patted his chest and promised.
Xie Jiuniang was happy to have someone to help her: "Then I thank you in advance."
Xuanyuan You rubbed his palms together and asked, "Little profiteer, then... do you want to sell that shadow stone? It's the one that Wu Tong and Gu Zheng Zhenren's concubine have."
"Do you want to spread it?" asked Xie Jiuniang.
Xuanyuan You nodded, his eyes sparkling as he said, "It will make Wu Tong lose face."
Just as Xie Jiuniang was about to give him the Shadow Stone, she took it back and refused, saying, "This matter is too serious to be spread outside. You'd better keep your mouth shut."
"What do you mean?" Xuanyuan You didn't quite understand.
Xie Jiuniang said unhappily, "Have you ever thought that it's not just Wu Tong who's embarrassed, but also his father? Besides, Master Gu Zheng is innocent and has no grudges against us. There's no need to embarrass him."
Xuanyuan You said in confusion: "The truth cannot be hidden."
"I don't care, as long as it doesn't spread from me. It will make people hate us too much, and you and I can't stand it." Xie Jiuniang would use the shadow stone to threaten Wu Tong, but she would not let the news spread widely and attract a lot of hatred.
With Xuanyuan You blocking the way, Xie Jiuniang was not afraid of being killed. At worst, there was still Elder Chaoyan.
Xie Jiuniang was afraid that Xuanyuan You didn't see the key point, so she patiently pointed it out: "What kind of person do you think Wu Tong is? He probably schemed against the concubine, and then had to compromise. Once this matter gets out, Wu Tong will have nothing to worry about because he has his Yuanying father's support, so he will find someone else to take the blame."
Xuanyuan You understood.
The unlucky one was most likely the female cultivator. A life was at stake, but the two of them didn't want to take the blame.
After figuring out the key, Xuanyuan Youting was speechless: "Then we don't need this evidence, so isn't it a waste?"
"How can it be taken for free? With it, it's like having a handle on Wu Tong. Next time we have something that is inconvenient for us to get involved in, we can ask him to do it." Xie Jiuniang's plan went smoothly.
When Xuanyuan You heard this, his eyes lit up.
The two walked in the quiet alley, and it was already bright outside.
It's a rare opportunity to go out, so Xuanyuan You feels like going shopping.
Xie Jiuniang was not in the mood.
But when she thought that she had just used Xuanyuan You, it would be inappropriate to throw it away after use, as she might need it again in the future, she patiently accompanied him to the teahouse for a meal before parting ways.
Xie Jiuniang did not go back to the sect directly, but went to the sect's market.
I haven't heard from my father for half a year, so normally it's time for me to leave.
Mo Lan and Xie Shen had not come out of retreat yet, but they met an unexpected person. Xie Shen had written a letter back earlier, and after receiving the letter, Chief Xie came over in person. When he learned that the two wanted to retreat, he stayed to protect Xie Shen and his wife. It was fine to retreat in the market without making any noise, but once there was noise, it would be troublesome.
Xie Jiuniang lowered her eyelids and stepped forward to salute: "Grandfather."
Patriarch Xie suddenly realized.
In just a moment, everything returned to normal.
He looked her over and praised her, "Your cultivation is improving very quickly, not bad."
Xie Jiuniang smiled and said nothing.
Next, Patriarch Xie asked them about matters in the sect, and Xie Jiuniang answered every question.
The grandparents and grandchildren maintained superficial peace.
Upon learning that Xie Xu was seriously injured, Patriarch Xie's face darkened slightly: "Does this matter require my intervention?"
"No need for that. It's not good for outsiders to interfere in the grudges between disciples of the sect. Let us solve it ourselves." Xie Jiuniang didn't want the family to get involved, and she believed that Xie Xu didn't want to either.
Patriarch Xie nodded and said, "I will stay in the market for a while. Please inform me if there is anything."
"yes."
Xie Jiuniang agreed indifferently.
Since her parents had not yet come out of retreat, Xie Jiuniang did not stay any longer and returned to the sect that day.
Xie Xu was in seclusion recuperating from his injuries. Xie Jiuniang met Xie Siniang and others, and heard from them that Xie Haoran had been here.
Xie Jiuniang told everyone what she had investigated. When they heard that Ge Guisheng was suspicious, they were all very surprised. After all, Ge Guisheng had been defeated in the ring and his demeanor was upright and frank.
Someone asked, "How about I go check it out?"
"No need, someone said they would help us check it." Xie Jiuniang really felt that Xuanyuan You was more reliable than them in this matter.
Just as Xie Jiuniang thought.
The next day, Xuanyuan You had the result of his investigation, and it turned out that Ge Guisheng was the mastermind behind the scenes. He had to blame his bad luck, and thought he had done it covertly, but someone still witnessed it, and was quick to take out a video stone to record it.
Xuanyuan You said: "The other party didn't want to cause trouble, so he asked me not to reveal my name."
"Okay." Xie Jiuniang checked the shadow stone.
Most of the disciples who have shadow stones on them are from wealthy families.
Sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, holding a plate of pastries in his hand, Xuanyuan You ate with great satisfaction. It was not that he was greedy, but it was really because no one in the sect made this. It was sold in the market, but the variety and taste were not as good as those here by the small profiteer.
Xie Jiuniang asked: "Price?"
"No need. Give me some more snacks." Xuanyuan You likes sweet food very much.
Xie Jiuniang gave him all the cakes and pastries she had, plus a jar of homemade fruit wine.
The wine brewed from ordinary spiritual fruits tastes very good. Its spiritual energy is average, but Xie Jiuniang drops a drop of top-quality spiritual liquid in each jar, making the spiritual energy very rich. It can be used to replenish spiritual power in the later stages of Qi training.
Xuanyuan You was pleasantly surprised when he saw it: "You little profiteer, you are great. Do you want to sell this wine? Give me ten or eight more jars."
"No, just one jar."
Xie Jiuniang doesn't plan to make money by selling wine.
The purpose of brewing it is to keep it for myself to replenish my spiritual power when necessary.
After Xuanyuan left, Xie Jiuniang sent a sound transmission note to Xie Xu. After finding out the truth, she did not make a decision for Xie Xu without authorization.
How to solve it specifically depends on Xie Xu's intention.
