Hmm? Something's wrong
Ling'er's words made Shushu, who thought he knew her very well, stunned.
What does the beauty master mean by this sentence? Could it be...
"What did you do to me, woman?"
In fact, he had discovered before that every time he used spiritual power, he would feel a dull pain in his dantian.
However, the pain was very short at first, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't even think that Ling'er would attack him. It was just that as he used his spiritual power more and more, the pain became more and more obvious. He had previously guessed that it might be because of the incompatibility of the direct bloodline.
Ling'er shrugged her shoulders lightly, "Oh, do you think I would follow you into your Jun family without any preparation?" Just for Ling Xin, who had no blood relationship with him, would she put her life in the hands of others? How could it be possible
Ling'er's words made Jun Zan's face change drastically. From what she meant...
"Could it be that you did something to me at the inn?"
The corners of his beautiful mouth turned up, and he nodded sincerely. "Yes, that's right. But it seems a little too late for you to know now." After all, the poison has penetrated into the bones. There is no other way except to ask her for an antidote.
If he had discovered it earlier, he could have used other antidotes to suppress it. Tsk tsk tsk, but Ling'er would not give him this opportunity.
"You vicious woman?" Jun Zan looked at Ling'er with a vicious look and spoke with gritted teeth.
"Vicious? Haha, that's really funny. Someone who can use tricks on his own father says I'm vicious? Someone who can poison his brother personally says I'm vicious? Speaking of viciousness, compared to you, Master Jun, I am ashamed of myself."
Ling'er's words made Jun Zan's pupils dilate again. "How do you know so much? Who are you? What is your purpose in sneaking into Junzhou?" The more he interacted with this woman, the more he felt that her identity was not simple. At this moment, he had no doubt that he had been deceived by Ling Xin, that damn girl.
"Master Jun, please be careful with your words. What do you mean by sneaking into Junzhou? I walked in openly. As for who I am, you are not worthy of knowing." His face changed, and his eyes lost the playfulness and became more fierce.
In the blink of an eye, Ling'er was in front of Jun Zan and grabbed his collar.
Jun Zan had been seriously injured by the backlash of the Wanling Sword Formation. At this moment, the poison Ling'er had given him had taken effect. He could not mobilize his spiritual power to heal his wounds, nor did he have the strength to resist. So he was dragged to Ling'er's eyes like a dead dog.
"If you still want to live, be honest. Give me your Jun family's treasures and send me out safely. If you dare to play any tricks, I promise that I will let you die before me!"
Jun Zan understood that if you were controlled by someone, you had to obey them. Although he was unwilling, the most important thing at the moment was to stay alive. As for the rest, he would wait until he escaped.
"I know, let me go first." He was shocked, being held by the collar by a woman, what a shame. Ling'er suddenly let go, Jun Zan lost his balance and stumbled back two steps.
"Oh my, Master Jun looks very weak. You can't even stand steadily. You won't pretend to faint next time, will you? But I tell you, don't say you are pretending to faint. Even if you really faint, I have a hundred ways to wake you up. You are a smart person. Cooperate a little and let yourself suffer less. It's good for you, me and everyone." When he thought about getting a lot of rare treasures, he was in a very happy mood. So the tone of his speech was not so stiff.
The rumbling sound of the avalanche continued, but there was no next move. So she guessed right, this environment was indeed very strange. The scene inside was partly illusory, partly real, and partly half-true and half-false. Because of this, this illusion was even more difficult. Because it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood when you were in it.
Less than a quarter of an hour after walking in the snowy mountains, the scenery in front of us turned into a forest. Birds chirped, flowers bloomed, trees towered, and you could even feel the coolness that only belongs to the forest.
Jun Zan was quite well behaved during the whole journey and didn't cause any trouble.
"I say, how long will it take? Are you leading me in circles?"
"We're almost there. After passing through this forest, we will see where the treasure is." Jun Zan said dejectedly, looking resigned to his fate.
But for some reason, Ling'er always felt something was wrong.
She had investigated the Jun family's affairs a long time ago. The third young master of the Jun family looked carefree, but he was actually a scheming man. She couldn't believe that he would be so obedient.
Ling'er looked up at the distance inadvertently, and she was worried about Xia Junyu. She didn't know how he was doing now. Although she knew that Xiaobai was protecting him, nothing serious would happen to him. But after all, he was her own flesh and blood, so she couldn't help but worry.
Jun Zan naturally noticed Ling'er's distraction. His thick eyebrows twitched subconsciously, and he continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
In the outer courtyard of the Jun family, servants were lying on the ground in various postures in the huge yard. All of them had their teeth grimaced and looked extremely painful.
On the pavilion, an old man with a white beard and a drunken body was holding a wine gourd and drinking his wine with a nonchalant look on his face.
"Who on earth is this old man? He is so powerful."
They were all outer disciples of the Jun family with good cultivation, but they couldn't even withstand a single move from him.
The person who spoke was Jun Ge, the leader of the outer disciples. Because he was the oldest and had the highest level of cultivation, everyone usually called him "Big Brother".
Another young man who was lying not far in front of Jun Ge heard this and replied helplessly: "I don't know who he is either. The Third Young Master ordered me to lure him here with good wine and then kill him."
When the Third Young Master said this, his tone was light and casual. In addition, the old man looked plain, so he thought it was a simple errand and agreed without asking too many questions. After all, the Third Young Master was generous, and doing things for him would usually bring a lot of benefits. Who would have thought that this old man, who looked weak and frail, was actually a tough guy.
Before they could even start, they felt a gust of wind blowing past them, and then their entire bodies ached and became weak, and they fell to the ground...
"Jun Xiaohao! Haven't I told you before not to get involved in the intrigues in the family? Our duty is to guard, not to kill and rob!" Jun Ge said earnestly, looking very disappointed. Although these outer disciples had no direct blood relationship with him, he had watched them grow up after all, and he really couldn't bear to see them grow up crooked.
Jun Xiaohao scratched his head with regret, "But... But he is the Third Young Master, what can I do..."
Jun Ge also understood that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. The Third Young Master is the master after all, and they, the servants, should not go too far. Thinking of this, he softened his heart.
"Okay, next time something like this happens, you must discuss it with me in advance and don't act on your own!"
"knew... "
Jun Ge barely supported himself and stood up, but his body was a little shaky. He cleared his throat and asked respectfully, "Old man, I apologize for my disrespect to you before. I hope you don't mind. It's because I, your younger brother, am ignorant that I offended you. May I ask who you are? Do you have anything to do in Jun Mansion?"
"No need for apology. As for the matter, there is one. I am old, and my old arms and legs cannot withstand your torture. You came in without any explanation and started punching and kicking me, which deeply hurt my fragile heart... You have to compensate!" After saying this, he burped.
"Oh, by the way, one more thing. My precious grandson is still in your Jun family. Tell the old man in your Jun family that my precious grandson is fine. If he loses even a hair, I will make you pay the price!" The last sentence was spoken with a particularly heavy tone, and a sharp light flashed in his half-open eyes.
Jun Ge frowned and looked at Jun Xiaohao. "You also killed a child?"
Facing Jun Ge's questioning, Jun Xiaohao was terrified, and quickly waved his hands and shook his head: "No, no, no... No, really, the Third Young Master only gave me an old man... No one else. What child, I... I haven't seen it. Big brother, you have to believe me, there really is no..."
Although Jun Xiaohao loves money, he is a straightforward person who doesn't lie. Since he said he didn't have it, then he definitely didn't have it.
Jun Ge recalled what Jun Xiaohao had just said. Could it be that the child was taken away by the third young master
But recently the atmosphere within the family has been very tense. Everyone in the Jun family, even the cleaning lady, knows not to cause trouble. The old man of the Jun family is an upright person, and he has finally come out of seclusion, so no one dares to offend him.
Would the third young master cause trouble at this critical moment
Just then, a middle-aged man walked in. Seeing the scene in the yard, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened?"
His voice was full of energy, and he was wearing a linen robe. The jade token hanging around his waist silently revealed his identity.
In the Jun family, only direct descendants and elders would wear jade plaques that symbolize their status.
"Outer sect disciple Jun Ge greets Elder Nine." In fact, Jun Ge did not know this elder, but there was a word "Nine" engraved on his jade card. It was said that Elder Nine was one of the Third Young Master's masters and belonged to the Third Young Master.
"What happened to you? Why are you mute?"
Seeing the scene in front of him, these disciples fell to the ground, and the Ninth Elder was in a very bad mood. Besides, Jun Ge was still an outer disciple, and the Ninth Elder looked down on them from the bottom of his heart. Before Jun Ge could speak, another woman named Jun Xiaoling spoke first.
"Reporting to the Ninth Elder, it was all that old man who did it. For some reason, that old man offended the Third Young Master, and the Third Young Master ordered us to arrest him. Unexpectedly, this damn old man not only refused to admit his guilt, but also injured us with evil magic. Ninth Elder, you have to make the decision for us."
The Ninth Elder didn't care about the honor or disgrace of these outer disciples. The key point was that this matter concerned the Third Young Master. The Ninth Elder's face fell instantly. He glanced at Yao Lao who was still drinking with disapproval and said with a look of disgust: "What a bunch of trash. What's the point of the Jun family raising you? All you know is to cheat people under the name of the Jun family. You can't even deal with an old man who is half buried in the ground. You are simply bringing shame to the Jun family!"
Jun Ge frowned and hesitated to speak. It was nothing for him to be wronged, but he couldn't cause trouble for his wife and children. The Ninth Elder was notoriously petty, so it was better not to provoke him. But the old man might not be able to leave in one piece today.
"Who are you? How dare you act so presumptuously in my Jun family? Come down quickly if you know what's best for you, kowtow to this elder and beg for mercy. Perhaps if this elder is in a good mood, I can leave your body intact!" Since the Third Young Master asked these rubbish to deal with this old thing, he must die.
The Third Young Master was meticulous and would never do anything without assurance. Perhaps he had gotten into some trouble outside and needed to deal with the aftermath. Old Master Jun was about to be released from confinement, and he couldn't let the Third Young Master get into trouble.
It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let someone go by mistake.
"Insolent? Are you talking about me, an old man? Oh my, it looks like an important person has come. This style, this tone, could this be the legendary old man of the Jun family?" After saying this, Yao Lao sneered disdainfully.
It wasn't that he really didn't know Master Jun, but he said this deliberately to mock the Ninth Elder.
"you!"
"What do you mean by 'you'? What's wrong with me? Do you have manners? Do you know how to respect the old and love the young? The young ones are out of line, and the older ones are out of order. It's really like the top beam is not straight, and the bottom beam is crooked. Today, I will teach you what the rules are on behalf of old man Jun!"
