Fast travel: The host is too crazy to shoot, the system can't stop it

Chapter 184 Rivers and Lakes (33) Pious

There are many guests in the manor, and the attendants respectfully arrange seats for the guests, guide the way and serve tea.

The meeting has not officially started yet, and everyone in the lobby chats in low voices.

The hosts are all well-known families in the world, and they all know each other. Although they have their own thoughts, they still have a pleasant conversation on the surface.

"The Ye family still hasn't come this time. Are they planning to withdraw from the world?" Someone said casually.

Someone snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Who knows, their family was like this almost 20 years ago, and they basically stayed in Xunyang and couldn't come out. If it weren't for the ancestor's shade, where would their family be in Jianghu?"

The Ye family's centuries-old roots are not something they can shake at will. Now this person is just talking quickly because the Ye family is not here. Everyone knows it well, but most of them see through it.

At this time, a middle-aged man suddenly said in a deep voice: "Stop talking nonsense."

This middle-aged man is Wang Jing, the head of the Wang family. The Wang family and the Ye family are almost a century-old family. He had been closing his eyes and resting his mind just now, but now he suddenly spoke for the Ye family. Everyone couldn't figure out his attitude for a while, but they also Don't dare to judge at will.

"Everyone, this person is almost here, when will the meeting start?"

At this mention, the organizers were stunned for a moment, and their expressions changed slightly - they were the organizers, but now that Mr. Xuan is not here, no one dares to start.

Someone whispered meaningfully: "I don't know who came up with the idea at the beginning."

They even invited this great god over here. You must know that it is easy to invite a god but difficult to send it away, and they can be regarded as riding a tiger.

"Okay," Wang Jing said calmly, "We can't invite that one. He can only come because he wants to. Whether we invite or not is not the point."

While speaking, the hall suddenly fell silent, and a group of people came to the door.

The attendant wanted to step forward to lead the way, but was pushed away.

Elder Xuan sat in a random position, and the people he brought retreated to the dark place, and just disappeared from sight in front of everyone.

Elder Xuan picked up the teacup casually, fiddled with the tea leaves in it, raised his eyes and said, "How long do we have to wait, when will we start?"

A person in the chief seat immediately said: "Sorry, this is the beginning."

Everyone in the lobby was sitting in a state of distress, and the discussion meeting officially started. An attendant brought the version of the blood cloud scroll that was circulating in the market, and distributed it to the guests sitting in the front row one by one.

Elder Xuan also had a copy in front of him, but he was not happy to pick it up, and he didn't even glance at it, he lowered his head and drank his tea.

The spokesman stood up and said: "Everyone has also seen that this printed version is now widely circulated in Jianghu, but no one knows its authenticity, and no one knows why it spread. The unsolved case five years ago has not yet been solved. , this time we..."

"Stop talking nonsense, this version is fake."

Before the speaker finished his opening remarks, a voice suddenly interrupted him, and everyone subconsciously looked for the sound, only to see Elder Xuan was leisurely putting down the teacup.

The spokesperson paused, smiled awkwardly, and asked tentatively: "Is this... all fake or is there something wrong with it?"

Elder Xuan looked up at the spokesperson, his eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice, "You invited me here just to ask whether it is true or not. Now that I have said it, it is false. Believe it or not is up to you."

The spokesman immediately lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore. The hall became very quiet for a while, and everyone looked bad, especially those on the main seat.

"Thank you, Elder Xuan, for your reminder. We will pay attention to it." Wang Jing continued and broke the silence.

What Wang Jing said was relatively safe. He didn't refute Elder Xuan's face. At the same time, he also said that he was just paying attention, not that he didn't plan to study this strange scroll at all.

Someone started, and several others immediately echoed: "Yes, thank you, Old Xuan, for your hard work."

Elder Xuan glanced at the crowd and understood their small thoughts, but he just smiled mockingly, as if he didn't intend to care.

Seeing that he didn't intend to pursue it, the organizers breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to continue the discussion. Elder Xuan suddenly said again: "Okay, I'll tell you if it's true or not, let's stop here about the blood cloud. Now I have another matter to discuss with you.”

One wave of ups and downs, another wave, Xuan Lao took himself as the host directly, it was a bit out of bounds, but everyone dared to be angry and dared not speak out, so they could only endure it.

"I don't know what Elder Xuan said?"

Elder Xuan looked at the crowd and said without changing his expression: "I know that in recent years, the world has not been peaceful, and there have been massacres of killing families. Xuan Gu has also secretly investigated, and now the murderer has been found."

Everyone was puzzled, why did this good guy suddenly bring up this matter?However, someone still asked along the way: "Then... who is the murderer?"

"I'm ashamed," Elder Xuan said calmly, "That man is my adopted son, named Ming Xu. My improper supervision made him make a big mistake. After the incident was revealed, he has already fled Xuangu."

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd didn't react too much. They had never heard of Mingxu, and what they said was unfounded. Elder Xuan is not a meddler. He said that it was probably impossible to investigate the tragedy, and that he was involved in planning the tragedy. Maybe there are more people who believe it.

What's more, Elder Xuan's move is really confusing, and everyone is not stupid. Some people have tasted it, and it may be that Ming Xu who defected from Xuangu. Elder Xuan wanted to use the hands of Baijia to deal with him, but who is happy to take this thankless task? What about your job?
They didn't know that person, if he was a desperado, why would they sacrifice their lives for Xuan Gu?

So everyone tacitly said, pretending to be fooled: "Oh, so that's the case, thank you, Mr. Xuan, we will pay more attention to this person."

As far as the aristocratic family here is concerned, neither the Ming Xu nor those tragedies have much to do with them, so no one cares about it, and just wants to end this topic quickly.

Elder Xuan naturally knew what everyone was thinking, tapped his fingers on the table, and said casually: "Actually, my adoptive son is quite special. He was not in good health before, so I made him drink a lot of medicine. I was also a little impatient, and used all the good medicines I could find, but later found that some medicines seemed to be wrong, and the medicine didn't work on his body, but it was transferred."

Wang Jing frowned slightly after hearing this, and asked, "Excuse me, Elder Xuan, what does this mean?"

Elder Xuan smiled, and said word by word: "It means... In fact, I am quite reluctant to part with my adoptive son, after all, it is quite useful."

Very useful?Which is useful?Everyone came to their senses at this moment—that was not a human being, it was the "medicinal material" raised by Elder Xuan.

The human body is the most suitable for storing and transforming medicinal properties. It is not that no one has done it before using living people to cultivate medicinal properties. It is just that this method is too time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to be criticized, so few people try it, but now...

"But I can't bear to return," Elder Xuan said again: "He made a big mistake, and I can't play favoritism. You can figure it out."

Elder Xuan's meaning is already very obvious: if someone is caught, you can deal with it, and Xuan Gu won't bother.

There was no sound in the lobby, and Wang Jing's expression became unsightly, "Old Xuan, you..."

"Oh, by the way," Elder Xuan seemed to think of something again, "If you are curious about what medicine he has taken these years, I also have a medicine list here, you can take a look."

Wang Jing pursed his lips and didn't make another sound.

With the proof of the medicine, the guarantee from Xuan Gu, and even the reasons for the arrest, Mr. Xuan is determined not to leave that person alive!

"Let's end here." When everyone was silent, Elder Xuan got up, patted his clothes casually and said, "I'm going to find someone too, after all, I can't let him make mistakes again, right, if you are interested, I will do the portrait later Sending it to you can be regarded as a grievance for those who died in vain, of course, it all depends on your wishes."

After finishing speaking, Elder Xuan left, but just after taking two steps, someone said loudly: "It is imperative to arrest the real culprit!"

With this sound, everyone seemed to have come to their senses, and they all began to echo, and the atmosphere in the lobby was high for a while, and the crowd was furious.

Elder Xuan was not surprised at all, smiled and said: "Then thank you all, I hope you will gain something."

"Your Excellency Xuan is serious, this is also a matter of duty."

"Yes, it's a matter of duty."

The discussion in the lobby became louder, and it was hard to hide their excitement.

Wang Jing remained silent the whole time, looked at the ecstatic people around him, and suddenly turned around as if preparing to leave.

"Hey? Patriarch Wang, don't be in a hurry to leave before you get the portrait. Do you want to consider our two families to catch the murderer together?"

Wang Jing looked at the man, suddenly smiled, and said softly, "Catch the murderer? Forget it, don't talk so nicely."

Everyone here knows what their real reason is, why bother to say it so high-sounding?

The man's expression changed, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Patriarch Wang, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing." Wang Jing saluted and said, "I'm sorry, the Wang family is not involved in this matter, so I will leave."

Wang Jing left the lobby quickly, listening to everyone's conversation all the way, there were all righteous truths and reasons, disgusted in his heart, he unconsciously quickened his pace.

"Patriarch, what's the matter?" Wang family attendants who were waiting outside saw the Patriarch coming out alone ahead of time and asked.

"Go," Wang Jing said coldly, "Let's not meddle in the affairs here, go back."

Doing hypocrisy, but also such righteous words, deceiving oneself and others, I don't know what to do!
"Why did you suddenly see this? Can you understand it? I didn't understand it last time I glanced at it."

During the decoction, Chu Ruxue saw Ye Chen flipping through the blood cloud, so she asked casually.

They are now in an inn in a small town. After Ming Xu left Xuangu, his spirit was very bad, he was always sleepy, and he could sleep for a long time.

Chu Ruxue checked and checked, but she couldn't find any problems. It seemed that she was just tired, but she was really abnormal. Now she could only try to prepare some medicine for recuperation, while waiting for Du Ruo to come.

Today's weather is bad, it should be raining heavily, they didn't go out, they were all in the inn.

Ye Chen replied: "To pass the time, I didn't understand it the first time, but the second time I read it, it seems to understand a little bit. It doesn't seem that difficult?"

Anyone can practice top-level exercises, but it may take more or less chance to truly understand and master them.

"Where is it so fast, do you understand it wrong?"

"Maybe, maybe my thinking is too simple." Ye Chen closed the scroll, looked at the medicine pot and asked, "Is the medicine ready?"

"It will be ready soon, by the way, where is your cousin?"

"She's upstairs. She really likes to pester Nan Xu."

"Cousin──" Just as the words finished, Zhong Fu shouted and ran over, "I'm here!"

Seeing Zhong Fu rushing over, Ye Chen subconsciously asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Ah?" Zhong Fu didn't know why and asked, "Didn't you ask me to get the medicine?"

"Take medicine?" Ye Chen paused, "Who said that?"

Zhong Fu blurted out, "It's a guy in the shop, he said..."

Before Zhong Fu finished speaking, Ye Chen ran out of the kitchen and rushed straight to the second floor!

The door of the room opened slightly, Ye Chen rushed over and pushed it open──
A corpse fell to the ground, and his chest was pierced by his long sword. It was obvious that when he raised the sword to attack, he was caught and stabbed into the chest with his backhand.

And Ming Xu was leaning against the table and standing next to the corpse, when she heard the movement at the door, she immediately raised her eyes to look over.
