Refiner Master [Rebirth]

In less than half an hour, all the people in the He family who could use their spirit energy were summoned to the He family ancestral hall.Everyone lined up and stood in a row, taking turns pouring spiritual energy into the glazed stone to see if there would be any black energy overflowing.

Just as Lu Ming thought, after testing dozens of people in a row, the glazed stones all released something similar to black magic energy.Everyone was astonished. It seemed that the young master's rhetoric should be close to ten. Someone really wanted to ruin his reputation and even die with a bad reputation.

He Qingqiu stood in the crowd, his face pale.Unexpectedly, such a careful plan was still seen through by He Qingci.If the plan can be implemented smoothly, not only will He Qingci be stigmatized as a demon cultivator, but he may even be killed by the He family, and his soul will be scattered. Then he will get rid of his serious worries and successfully inherit the position of the suzerain of the He family. Such a strategy of killing several birds with one stone actually put him in a dangerous situation.

"He Qingqiu, it's your turn." A cold voice suddenly came from the front.

He Qingqiu raised his head suddenly, with a trace of fear and resentment in his eyes, looking at He Qingci who was looking at him calmly not far away, his heart was turbulent.His lips moved, as if his whole body was soaked in the cold pool of the ice cave, he walked slowly towards the strange glazed stone with slightly fluffy steps.

He Qingqiu stood in front of the glazed stone, refusing to raise his hand to pour the aura into it for a long time, instead he was dripping with cold sweat and trembling all over.

Seeing He Qingqiu's appearance, He Yuanqi frowned and said, "Qingqiu, what's wrong with you?"

He Qingqiu's expression froze, his heart was pounding, trying to suppress the fear in his heart, he opened his mouth and said in a trembling voice: "Father, I'm not feeling well, and I can't use my spiritual energy, so I want to leave first."

He Yuanqi glanced at him, nodded and said, "You really don't look very well, why don't you step back first."

He Qingqiu was overjoyed when he heard the words, he hurriedly nodded and said: "Then Qingqiu will go back first."

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, an indifferent voice sounded.Everyone looked for their reputation, and it was the young master He Qingci who spoke.Although his face was calm, his eyes were so cold that it was almost chilling. Youyou said: "Check first before leaving."

He Qingqiu's complexion changed, and he pretended to be annoyed and said, "I've already said that I'm unwell, and the spiritual energy can't be used for the time being, why do you want me to test it?"

Lu Ming glanced at him, and said calmly: "Since the spiritual energy cannot be used, there are other ways to find it."

He Qingqiu said angrily: "What way?"

The corners of Lu Ming's lips curled up, he pointed at the demon's corpse, and said: "The demon and the master have signed a master-servant contract, even if they die, the imprint on the master will not disappear so quickly. If you are If you are innocent, then you will expose your arm to let everyone see if there is a mark of the master-servant contract."

He Qingqiu seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell suddenly, his whole body was cold.Signing a master-servant contract with the demon will indeed leave a dark red diamond-shaped mark on a certain part of the body, but the part does vary from person to person.It's just that he never expected that this person would know so much about the demon, and he could clearly point out the exact position of the master-servant mark attached to his body. Could it be that someone betrayed him so that He Qing could catch a turtle in a urn? !

It's just that He Qingqiu guessed wrong, it wasn't someone who betrayed him, because the culprit was Lu Ming's pet 233.It lay lazily on Lu Ming's shoulders, and its plump figure looked like it was reaching for a ball from a distance. 233 smiled proudly: "My brain stores the physical characteristics of all creatures in this world, which is much more useful than an entire encyclopedia, and the information on demons is not to mention. Master, for someone like me Have you ever felt extremely honored to have a pet that is both beautiful and intelligent?"

Hearing this, Lu Ming said helplessly in a low voice: "As long as you don't talk so much nonsense, I will feel even more honored."

233 glanced at his mouth unwillingly and said: "If I were you, I would definitely wake up laughing when I think of it in the middle of the night."

Lu Ming said coldly: "Quickly shrink back obediently!"

233 blinked his big black eyes very hurt, and retracted into the space aggrieved.Lu Ming stabilized his mind, saw He Qingqiu not far away standing motionless, his face turned pale, and said with a cold smile: "Why, don't you dare?"

He Qingqiu was dripping with cold sweat, his lips moved, but he didn't dare to speak, his mind was in chaos.When He Yuanqi saw the scene in front of him, he could see some clues.His eyes were dark, and he said sharply to He Qingqiu: "Roll up your sleeves!"

He Qingqiu was shocked, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees with a plop, crying and fear in his voice: "Father, I... I did it all! Please forgive me!"

Everyone was in an uproar, and they were all shocked by the scene before them. They really didn't expect that the person who wanted to assassinate the Eldest Young Master was the Second Young Master!

He Yuanqi couldn't bear it any longer, and opened his mouth to curse angrily: "Niety!"

He Qingqiu was startled by his furious father, and immediately fell on the ground, trembling, and crying loudly: "Father, I just lost my mind for a while, please let me go! I won't dare Already!"

He Yuanqi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and asked in a deep voice to the judge beside him: "According to the patriarchal rules, what kind of crime should be punished for raising evil creatures such as demons in private, and even attempting to frame and blame elder brother?"

The judge hesitated for a moment, then cupped his fists and said in a low voice: "Sovereign, according to the rules of the He family, the second young master will inevitably die this time, and because raising a demon is a felony, after death, the soul should be locked up with a soul chain and imprisoned for 100 years." Only then can we be reincarnated again.”

Lu Ming was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the He family's clan rules to be like this, he didn't want He Qingqiu to die.It's just that harming others will eventually harm oneself. If he hadn't discovered the discrepancy in the stele earlier and exposed this person's conspiracy in front of everyone, otherwise all the punishments would have fallen on himself now.

When He Qingqiu heard that the punishment was so severe, he collapsed on the ground in fright, crying and saying: "Father, please forgive me this time for the sake of my first offense!"

He Yuanqi snorted coldly, but didn't respond.The elders of the clan at the side couldn't sit still any longer, and couldn't bear to say: "Sovereign, Qingqiu just went astray for a while, as the saying goes, if a prodigal son returns, he won't change his money. If he really repents, give him a chance."

He Qingqiu hurriedly nodded and interjected: "Father, I really know that I was wrong, and I will never do this again!"

He Yuanqi pondered for a moment, then sighed quietly and said: "Qingqiu, let's consider you a first-time offender today, and I will punish you to go to Chiyu Mountain to face the wall and think about your mistakes, and you will not be allowed to take half a step for 50 years."

When He Qingqiu heard that he finally didn't have to die, fearing that He Yuanqi would repent, he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you for not killing my father, Qingqiu will definitely reform and change his mind in the future."

He Yuanqi waved his hands wearily and said, "Take it down."

◆◆◆

Since such a major event happened in the ancestral hall that day, He Qingci's status in the He family has become even more precious. He Qingqiu was fined to be sent to Chiyu Mountain for fifty years, which means that He Qingci has naturally become He Qingci. He is the only candidate for the next successor of the family, not to mention that he has recovered his aura now, and his ability to refine weapons has become perfect.For a while, He Qingci's house became extremely lively, and people came to visit him every day to make friends with him. This made Lu Ming miserable, and God knew that the most annoying thing for him was socializing.

When Liu Xuyun learned that her son was imprisoned in Chiyu Mountain, she fainted on the spot. After waking up, she went to He Yuanqi and begged for several days, but all returned without hope. In just a few days, she seemed to have aged several decades. Lock yourself in the house every day and wash your face with tears.

After Lu Ming learned about it, he felt a little emotional.If I had known today, why should I have done it back then? As the saying goes, there are gods above the head, the cycle of heaven and earth, karma, and it is better to behave with a clear heart.

"Brother, you're distracted again." A childish voice suddenly sounded.

Lu Ming came back to his senses, seeing the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but smile slightly, stretched out his hand to rub his soft hair, and said in a warm voice, "How is your spiritual energy practice today?"

The boy looked about 11 years old, with fair and delicate cheeks, and two shallow dimples when he smiled, he looked very cute.A pair of eyes were clear and bright, shining brightly. At this time, he was smiling with eyebrows crooked, and said to Lu Ming: "I have mastered most of it."

This child was the boy who collected firewood to sell that day, named Jing Mo.After Lu Ming returned to the house that day, he found that Sang Wusheng had disappeared, and instead bumped into the boy who was bullied by the servant that day at the door.Lu Ming thought about it, and simply took Jing Mo with him, took care of his daily life, and paid him a monthly salary, so that he had money to buy medicine for his sick mother.

Lu Ming nodded, and said: "That's good, you need to practice more on weekdays."

Jing Mo nodded, then came over and put the cakes in his hand on the stone table in front of him, and said: "This is the chestnut cake just made by the new cook, brother likes it, so I hurriedly brought some back for you You try it."

Lu Ming moved his ears, stretched out his slender fingers to pick up a piece, put it in his mouth to chew, narrowed his eyes slightly as if enjoying himself, and said slowly: "It's delicious."

Jing Mo immediately became happy when he heard the words, his whole face seemed to radiate brilliance: "If brother likes to eat, I will make it for you in the future. I promise it will taste better than this."

Lu Ming was surprised: "You still do these things?"

Jing Mo's face turned red, his eyes averted a little and he said, "Of course I will."

Lu Ming laughed a little and said: "You are only 11 years old, you don't need to learn those things, just practice spiritual energy well."

Jing Mo pouted his neck and said, "Anyway, I will study hard. When I learn it, my brother will only be able to eat the meals and pastries I made."

Lu Ming patted his head hard, Jing Mo let out a cry, and rubbed his head aggrievedly.Lu Ming shook his head helplessly and said, "You kid never speaks through your brain. What do you mean you will only eat the meals you cook in the future? If you are not by my side, then I will only be hungry?"

Jing Mo curled his lips unhappily, as if muttering to himself: "I won't let my brother leave me."

Luming: "..."

Seeing the way the two get along, 233 couldn't help but sighed and said, "Master, do you think it's appropriate to let an 11-year-old child take care of your daily life?"

Lu Ming said embarrassingly, "It won't attract other people's attention, and it can also make his life easier. This kills two birds with one stone."

233 said helplessly: "Okay, let's not mention this matter for now, let's talk about the business. Do you think there is something wrong with He Yuanqi?"

Lu Ming recalled He Yuanqi's words and deeds that day, especially the look in his eyes when he looked at him, as if he was determined to be prey, and felt a little weird and uncomfortable in his heart: "This person is very rich, and he is used to pretending. The attitude of resignation is also quite weird, let's observe it for a few more days, it's time to find an excuse to leave the He family completely."
