"Do you need to be thanked for doing these things?" Gu Wulian asked.

Ji Liqing was stunned, and subconsciously replied: "Of course I don't care."

The white-haired girl chuckled: "Then I am the same."

"..."

The woman with bandages on her hands was silent for a while, she turned her head slightly, and said in a low voice, "Sorry."

"……Um?"

"My attitude towards Ms. Gu is somewhat biased because of personal emotions."

Ji Liqing's voice was very soft: "This is my mistake, please forgive me."

"There's no need to be so serious... I don't really care about it." Gu Wulian looked up at her, "Do you mind if I ask a question?"

"Please say."

"Why do you...hate me?"

"..." Ji Liqing hesitated slightly, but still replied, "I don't hate Ms. Gu, I just hate the name Gu Wulian."

"The emperor's name?"

"Yes."

"Why do you hate him?" Gu Wulian was full of curiosity, "Your ancestors...had a grudge against him?"

She didn't expect that these words made Ji Liqing's face, which had not had many emotional fluctuations, instantly become stiff, and the beautiful facial features seemed to be frozen on the face by frost.

The mixed resentment and sadness in it made her even more incomprehensible.

I wouldn't really kill my ancestors and the whole family... That's not right, I clearly don't have the Ji family in my impression...

Gu Wulian stopped thinking about it, and said first: "I'm sorry, I asked a question that made you embarrassed, so just pretend I didn't say it."

Ji Liqing's complexion was a little better, she nodded and said nothing.

The long corridor fell into a peaceful silence again.

Gu Wulian leaned against the door and didn't know what to say. If he really killed someone's ancestor or something, he would definitely regret more than that, but it was a bit embarrassing, after all, this girl was actually pretty good in nature.

She thought for a while, and started a topic from this case: "Where are the two comrades Pei Nan and Xie Haiqing? They should be quite powerful, right? Why didn't they rescue those girls with you?"

"The two of them are only the third level, not safe enough." Ji Liqing shook his head, "There are very few cases like this that require high-end force, and we didn't expect that the Wen family could get a functioning puppet from the ruins." And magic weapon. And... I should have told Ms. Gu when I acted that there was a big problem with the Wen family."

"Ah, it seems that there is such a thing."

"Pei Nan and Xie Haiqing took most of the investigation team to deal with the matter over there."

"So many people?" Gu Wulian asked in surprise, "What happened to the Wen family?"

Ji Liqing grabbed her arm and said with complicated eyes: "The high-ranking seniors of the Wen family and a group of clan elders, a total of 15 people..."

"All died, and none survived."

Hearing the gunshots and screams in the ancestral hall, Wen Shili's expression was so cold that he could freeze the air.

"Lin Yuan." The man stared straight at his son, "Do you want to rebel? At this time? When we are about to succeed?"

"I'm just making sure nothing goes wrong, Father."

Wen Linyuan replied with a smile: "When the family is about to succeed."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Even though he was pointed at by a gun, Wen Shili didn't seem to have the slightest fear. He took a furious step forward, grabbed the gun and aimed it at his head, "Success? Success means killing all the family members? Do you want to kill me too? Do it!"

"I tell you to do it!"

Wen Linyuan quietly looked at his red-faced and out-of-control father, and sighed softly, "Dad, do you know how grandpa evaluates you?"

"'Impossible, useless'."

"When should we start?" He took the gun out of his father's hand, sat down on the chair casually, and stared at the bloody scene outside through the paper window, "Since four uncles bought it two years ago Let’s go overseas and start talking about the shares.”

"Fourth uncle told me before he left that the Wen family is hopeless. Even if uncle becomes deputy secretary and will become a full-time member after a few years, even if your business is getting better and better, Dad, it won't save you."

"Why? Because the Wen family is already a piece of land that is about to rot, even if you and uncle try hard to grow some fresh fruit, they will eventually be eaten up by moths everywhere."

"And... Dad, you know it, but you don't do anything."

As he said this, he looked up at his father.

"You are obsessed with the pleasure brought by achievements, and succumbed to the pleasure brought by benefits. But you forgot what you have always taught me—no matter what you do, you must first... consider the family."

"You have been playing with women since five years ago, and you made my mother angry, but you claimed that you deserved it. Your business is getting better and better, but your methods are getting more and more bottom-line, and your temper is getting worse and worse. , the few uncles who followed you didn't learn the real skills, but there are a lot of tricks and crooked ways to understand."

"Wen Linyuan, you!"

"You're very angry, Dad." Wen Linyuan put his arms on the back of the chair, raised his chin and chuckled, "Because you know what I'm telling the truth. I also know that you started playing with that bead string two years ago , telling yourself to quit anger and greed, but after two years of playing, what tricks have you come up with?"

Wen Shili forced himself to calm down. He kept taking deep breaths, suppressing the blood pressure rushing to his forehead, and said word by word, "Lin Yuan, what on earth are you...doing?"

Wen Linyuan raised his hand: "Wait until I finish. Dad, you are so smart, after listening, you must know what I want to do."

"A year ago, I discovered the ruins by myself, and explored all the ruins by myself. Since then, I have a plan, and then I told my grandpa about the plan, and he agreed. "

"In the ruins, there is indeed a secret method that can turn ordinary people into cultivators, that is, the evil pill. But dad, have you ever thought... How can there be such an easy thing in the world?"

Wen Linyuan asked softly: "Sacrificing three virgin cultivators can exchange for a whole bloodline cultivator? Do you think... is this possible?"

Of course it was impossible, and Wen Shili also felt that it was absolutely impossible.But he was cautious and tried many times, and the result he got was clearly——

"It's obviously useful, isn't it?" the young man squinted and said, "But what if I tore out the page... about the side effects of pills in the ancient book?"

Seeing his father's livid face, Wen Linyuan laughed loudly: "The person who eats this elixir will only have ten years of life left at most, and the heirs born are destined to live less than 25 years. Dad, this is not a common sense. The panacea to the realm of cultivators, this is the poison used by that evil sect to make cannon fodder for cultivators!"

Wen Shili stood where he was, with no trace of blood on his face.

He didn't roar, didn't growl, didn't rush to his son, just stood there, as if his consciousness and soul were drained.

"If, I mean if, even if you feed that Chengdan to the younger generation for the first time, I think... you may still be saved."

"But when you know that this elixir is really useful, you choose to eat it yourself. When you choose to refine people from the clan into elixir in order to reduce the risk... I know what to do."

Wen Linyuan whispered to himself: "I already knew what to do."

"So, the tail that was not cleaned up when the girl was kidnapped, and there are clues left for the police to follow..." Wen Shili stared at his son, "You did it too, no... no, that should be... big brother made!"

"That's right." Wen Linyuan nodded, "Grandpa, me, uncle. The three of us made a real... plan to change the Wen family."

"...A plan to put the crime of body modification by cultivators on the head of the family, so that the whole family can never recover?"

Wen Shili finally roared unbearably: "You are all crazy!"

"The Wen family is fucking doomed!" Wen Linyuan stood up and shouted angrily, "The family's 300-year-old foundation! It's all destroyed in the hands of you people who don't think about making progress and only know how to enjoy themselves! Even with the golden mountain of ruins, You moths will eat it up too!"

After the young man yelled this sentence, he took a deep breath to calm down, and continued: "No matter what achievements someone makes, there will be maggots that will eat away their bones and flesh; no matter how hard they try, they will always be obliterated by their stupid things." Exhausted. The entire Wen family is already rotten, not just rotted in one place. If you want to be reborn, there is only one way..."

The silence in his eyes made even Wen Shili, who was his father, feel chilly.

Wen Linyuan aimed his gun at Wen Shili again: "...abandon this 300-year-old body."

"If you can't finish cutting off the rotten flesh, burn your whole body clean."

Wen Shili's emotions suddenly became calm for some reason, he just looked at Wen Linyuan expressionlessly: "Don't you think it's ridiculous? After losing this body, what else do you have? What are you still? At that time, you just It's just Wen."

"That's enough."

Wen Linyuan smiled: "Dad, don't you find it strange that there are only two puppets and a few magic weapons left in such a complete ruin?"

Facing Wen Shili's unbelievable gaze, the young man calmly said, "With the help of my grandfather, I took away all the really useful things in the ruins. Including the [-] million he set aside, it is enough for me. Get a firm foothold in Jingnan."

"The [-] million?!"

"Grandpa promised that the gang of vultures would eat Wen's body as soon as possible." Wen Linyuan chuckled, "The condition is only to suspend the debt collection from Fifth Uncle. It's a good deal, right?"

Looking at Wen Shili who stopped talking, Wen Linyuan said softly: "After all the dust settles, I will take away the promising people of this generation and leave a sum of money to the rest. From then on, Jingnan Wen's It has nothing to do with Jun Miwen."

"300 years ago, my ancestors were able to break through the land surrounded by wolves; 300 years later, I can also stand under the dragons and tigers... and break out the avenue of Yangguan!"

"Where are your seventh and eighth uncle's children?" Wen Shili suddenly asked after a long silence.

"In the ruins, apart from the Cheng Dan of the poisonous pill, there is also a Cheng Dan that can remove side effects."

Wen Linyuan replied softly: "I will save those two children. After 30 years, they will become the mainstay of the Wen family."

"Who to bring, have you figured it out?"

"There are already candidates, but it depends on how they respond after the destruction of the Wen family."

"Have all the people who should be cleaned up been cleaned up?"

"...It's just you, Dad."

After a long silence, Wen Shili stared into Wen Linyuan's eyes. At this moment, as if he was 30 years younger, he laughed frivolously and recklessly.

"The reason why you took the risk to come back is because of this moment."

The man's gaze has never been so bright: "You and Dad are worried that you can't kill me in the first place, and you also know that I will never accept such a thing, so you are here."

"After all, Dad, you are at the third level anyway." Wen Linyuan stroked the pistol, "Grandpa doesn't have the confidence to convince you, but if it's me, I can."

"Because I am your son." "Because you are my son."

Wen Shili's eyes have not been so gentle in many years.

"I taught you, when I was your age, I taught you."

Wen Linyuan stopped talking, but threw the gun in front of Wen Shili.

The man picked up the gun and slowly aimed it at his temple.

"Lin Yuan."

"……dad."

"You have to promise me." He said every word, "Don't be me."

The young man closed his eyes and nodded slowly.

Wen Shili, who put his finger on the trigger, also closed his eyes, and a hoarse and decadent sound came out of his throat.

"For the family."

Stepping over his father's body, pushing open the door, seeing the blood all over the floor, seeing the dead relatives all over the place, and seeing the grandfather who was still sitting on the throne when he died, Wen Linyuan just glanced at these scenes, then nodded. He walked out of the secret passage without looking back.

Only in the ancestral hall, the last voice of the young man left here: "For... the family."

Chapter 31——Ji Liqing's New Mission

In Yujing City, the capital of Jiuhuazhou State, in a quaint office that seems to have nothing special about it.

"...The above is the report of this operation."

Ji Liqing lowered her head slightly, waiting for the answer from the old man on the seat.

"Well... Comrade Ji, do you have any comments on your performance?"

The old man's voice was very kind.

After thinking about it for a while, Ji Liqing replied: "I think my performance is not bad, I didn't make mistakes in command and judgment, and the last action also successfully intercepted the two puppets, and put them away without destroying the general structure. Subdued, and dug out the Wen family's excavation of the ruins a year ago. But..."

She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "However, I made a very serious mistake in my attitude towards Ms. Gu Wulian. Due to my personal emotions, I almost pushed the precious fourth-level practitioner to the opposite side. This is an extremely serious and unforgivable mistake. If it weren't for Ms. Gu's kindness, in the final operation, we would most likely cause victims to be in danger due to our lack of combat power, so I am willing to accept any punishment."

"That is to say." The old man said slowly, "Do you think that apart from your attitude towards that Ms. Gu, you should have performed well in other aspects of this operation?"

"I..." Ji Liqing hesitated for a while, "It should be that the other comrades in the investigation team performed well. Comrades Pei Nan and Xie Haiqing have very high execution ability and rich experience. If Comrade Pei Nan was not the first time Made my mistake, I might..."

The old man raised his hand with a smile: "They are just a little less capable, otherwise they would have been the team leader long ago. If you take them, they are somewhat unconvinced, right?"

"...I think it's understandable."

"And in the end, do they understand you?"

The woman straightened her back slightly, and replied solemnly: "I think I should have won the respect of all comrades."

"That's all right, well done, Xiao Ji."

The old man took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer and lit it for himself: "There is no need to belittle yourself. Your ability is very good. During the whole operation, you only made mistakes with Ms. Gu, didn't you?"

"……Yes."

"It's true, that's unforgivable." The old man's voice became serious, "In such a major case, any mistakes are unforgivable, and the organization will punish you soon."

Ji Liqing kept silent and lowered her head slightly.
