The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 289 Good Destiny
"Elder brother..."

When Li Wusheng saw the large group of people, he couldn't help but feel uneasy. He didn't dare to hold Mo Yingcheng's hand anymore. Instead, he lowered his head and saluted respectfully.

"Big Brother." Bi Huanqiu also bowed. She was seriously injured, with bones exposed on her hands, and her face was pale.

"Brother Jing." Mo Yingcheng smiled slightly and performed the greeting as an equal, appearing calm and steady.

Lin Bai naturally knew that this was Jing Situi, the eldest disciple of the Lord of Jiuzha Mountain, who had come in person, so he stepped forward and saluted with a smile.

"I have heard of Brother Jing's name for a long time. Meeting him today is a comfort to me." Lin Bai, like Mo Yingcheng, greeted him as an equal.

"Senior Brother Jing." Mu Zhen stood beside Lin Bai and saluted with a smile.

Jing Situi returned the greetings one by one, with a faint smile on his face, humble and warm.

But there was a group of people standing behind him, all with strange expressions, some were frowning in suspicion, some were squinting and sneering, and some were just watching the fun.

"The fact that you can come out of the secret realm under the Endless River shows that you are blessed. I would like to congratulate you all." Jing Situi smiled and looked at Lin Mu and the others.

"Junior Sister Mu is Senior Mu Yao's junior. I have always admired her." Jing Si Tui smiled gently, with a very sincere meaning. He looked at Lin Bai again and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Zhuan Lun was recommended by Fairy Chen Yu and is also loved by Qiaoshan Gu. He is indeed extraordinary in appearance."

Lin Bai and Mu Zhen were naturally humble.

"The secret realm is dangerous. Fortunately, you two are safe. I feel relieved."

Jing Si Tui never showed hostility, but was a modest gentleman. He looked at Mo Yingcheng again and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Mo, for taking care of Junior Sister Wusheng."

As he spoke, he bowed to Mo Yingcheng.

"Brother Jing, you're welcome." Mo Yingcheng returned the greeting with a slight smile.

Jing Si retreated after being polite to the three outsiders, and then looked at Li Wusheng and Bi Huanqiu.

"This secret realm opens once every hundred years, and each has its own mysteries." Jing Situi looked at Bi Huanqiu and asked, "What kind of scenery will it be this time?"

Bi Huanqiu lowered his head and told the story of the secret realm honestly.

From the time when everyone entered the secret realm of the chessboard, she and He Bingde followed Ying Wangtian through the trial, and talked about the power of the sword, and finally the matter of climbing the mountain to seek the truth.

Vapor rose in the cave. Although Bi Huanqiu was still extremely weak, his voice was clear and his mind was insightful, and he spoke eloquently.

Everyone listened attentively, and no one interrupted. After hearing Bi Huanqiu talk about how the Taoist Wuxiang suppressed the earth-shattering sword, everyone had a look of longing and amazement.

Then Bi Huanqiu talked about traveling with Ying Wangtian and He Bingde, but he fell behind due to his insufficient cultivation and met Du Changying and Yin Yan.

When Bi Huanqiu met Lin Mu and the others again, he got elixirs from them. Later, he met Mo Li and the others, who took great care of him.

In the end, when Bi Huanqiu was on the verge of death, he was saved by Lin Zhuanlun, who removed most of the sword intent, so he survived.

However, Bi Huanqiu had not kept up with the pace of Ying Wangtian and others, nor had he reached the top, so he had no idea what the scenery on the top of the mountain was like.

After Bi Huanqiu finished speaking, everyone looked over when they heard about Lin Bai removing the sword intent. Some were envious and jealous, while others remained calm and said nothing.

Lin Bai said nothing, raised the gourd and took a sip of wine, waiting for Jing Si to leave.

If they wanted to fight or take, Lin Bai could only tear his face off and run away with Sister Zhen. As for the consequences, he could only take one step at a time, anyway, this grudge had to be recorded.

After Jing Si Tui finished listening to Huan Qiu's words, he remained silent. He pondered for a moment and looked at Bi Huan Qiu, "Don't be afraid."

He raised his hand and pressed Bi Huanqiu's wrist, carefully examining the bones and flesh on it.

"Yes." Bi Huanqiu responded immediately, and then he felt a very subtle spiritual power entering his body from his wrist, lingering for a long time before leaving.

"What the powerful left is indeed extraordinary." Jing Situi let go of his hand, took two steps back, shook his head with his hands behind his back, and sighed.

He looked at Li Wusheng again.

Li Wusheng nodded, indicating that what she saw and heard was the same as Bi Huanqiu, and then said: "Junior sister is incompetent and failed to reach the top of the mountain. Please punish me, senior brother."

As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Jing Shitui.

“I too…” Bi Huanqiu also quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, “I am not skilled enough to reach the top, which brings shame to my Jiuding Sect…” Bi Huanqiu bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Junior Sister Bi." Jing Situi's voice was serious and heavy, and he looked at Bi Huanqiu, "The reputation of Jiuzha Mountain is not your fault. You have the heart to seek the truth even when you die, and you didn't get the chance even though you tried your best. It's not your fault. Since you have tried your best, we are all proud of you."

Bi Huanqiu bent down again and sniffed.

Jing Situi helped Bi Huanqiu up, then looked at Li Wusheng who was still hunched over.

Li Wusheng felt relieved when she saw that Jing Si Tui was not angry with Bi Huanqiu, but encouraged her. She was just thinking about how to act like a brother and sister, when she heard Jing Si Tui say, "Li Wusheng, stand up straight."

“…” Li Wusheng was frightened when he saw Jing Shitui’s unfriendly tone, but he still stood up straight and did not dare to look into Jing Shitui’s eyes.

"Junior Sister Bi climbed up with great perseverance. Did you try your best this time?" Jing Sixui asked with a frown, looking as if he was disappointed in his friend.

“……” Li Wusheng didn’t dare to say anything.

"If it weren't for the fact that you saved Junior Sister Bi and for Brother Mo's sake, you should be punished with ten years of confinement!" Jing Si said.

Li Wusheng bowed his head again, still not daring to say a word.

Jing Si Tui ignored Li Wusheng and bowed to Lin Mu and Mo Yingcheng again, saying, "My two junior sisters are safe, thanks to your help."

Lin Bai and the other two naturally responded humbly.

"After talking for so long, have you seen Senior Brother Ying Wangtian? Do you know how he died?" A bearded monk stepped forward, stared at Lin Mu and the others and asked.

Lin Bai ignored him and just picked up the gourd and took another sip of wine.

"Brother Fu, please don't be rude." Jing Situi said in a gentle voice, then looked at Mo Yingcheng and said, "Brother Mo, you and I have known each other for a long time, and we have climbed to the top of the mountain together. Have you seen Brother Ying Wangtian?"

Mo Yingcheng shook his head.

Jing Situi nodded slightly and looked at Li Wusheng.

Li Wusheng quickly shook his head to show that he didn't know.

Jing Si retreated and looked at Bi Huanqiu again.

"I don't know either." Bi Huanqiu shook his head and said, "I just saw that Yin Yan seemed to be controlling Du Changying in secret. It should be some kind of subtle magical power that slowly eroded Du Changying's mind."

"Yin Yan's innate divine eyes are covered with copper, so it is possible for him to possess such magical powers." Jing Situi nodded.

"You mean Yin Yan harmed Senior Brother Ying?" The bearded monk surnamed Fu said again, "Senior Brother Ying is such a great man, how can a mere Yin Yan do anything to him? Even if Yin Yan and Du Changying were to join forces, they would have no chance of winning!"

"Don't be too confident. It's not advisable to underestimate others."

Jing Si Tui gave the monk surnamed Fu a lecture, then looked at Lin Bai and Mu Zhen and asked, "Junior Brother Zhuan Lun, Junior Sister Mu, you two climbed to the top of the mountain first. It's really a blessing from heaven. I wonder if you met Ying Wangtian and his men?"

"Brother Jing, if I say I didn't see him, would you believe me? What will you do if I say I met him?" Mu Zhen asked with a smile.

"I'm not trying to embarrass you two. I just want to know why Junior Brother Ying died." Jing Shitui was not angry.

"Senior Brother, why are you wasting time talking to them?" The male cultivator with the surname Fu stepped forward and said angrily, "Senior Brother Ying is such a great man, yet he died in the secret realm. And yet these two people reached the top of the mountain. If it wasn't these two who killed him, who else could it be?" "Why couldn't they have had an internal conflict?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"That's right!" The monk surnamed Fu laughed coldly, "Brother Ying, even with the help of fellow disciples, you two have no chance of winning. Either you sneak attack them or you instigate a rebellion against Yin Yan and Du Changying!"

"So what does this senior brother want?" Lin Bai pressed his hand on the gourd and asked, "Do you want to arrest the two of us and search our bodies? Or do you want to report to the master of Jiuzha Mountain and search his soul to track down the murderer?"

"There's no need to search the soul, just search the body!" The monk named Fu stepped forward and took out a seal in his hand.

"I would like to hear your wonderful teachings!" Lin Bai pressed the gourd with his hand.

Seeing this, the others either took two steps back to avoid it or took a step forward to help. Others looked like they were watching the fun, but most of them looked at Jing Situi, and it was obvious that they were focusing on Jing Situi.

"Fu Ke, Lin Zhuanlun has done Bi Huanqiu and me a favor, you want to take action?" Li Wusheng frowned, "Even if there is doubt about Ying Wangtian's death, it should be decided by the eldest brother, it is not your turn to speak!"

Bi Huanqiu did not say anything, but bowed to Jing Situi, which was an expression of pleading for mercy.

"Why are we so tense?" Mo Yingcheng stepped forward, separating Lin Bai and Fu Ke, and said, "It's a pity that Senior Brother Ying died, but Junior Brother Zhuanlun and Junior Sister Mu were definitely not evil people. In my opinion, it's better to inform the elders of each family to avoid hurting the harmony."

Mo Yingcheng bowed to Jing Situi and said with a smile: "If you trust me, please let Junior Brother Zhuanlun and Junior Sister Mu go with me to Daoyin Sect to stay temporarily. We can deal with it later after we have clarified the matter. I sent them here, so please let me see it through to the end."

"I'm afraid once they leave, they won't know where to escape to!" Fu Ke said immediately.

Mo Yingcheng stood up straight without even looking at Fu Ke, obviously looking down on him.

As the chief disciple of Daoyin Sect, he has always been well versed in human nature, polite and kind, and has never been so disrespectful to others.

"Even our master has high praise for Chen Tianren, you shouldn't be so rude." Jing Situi looked at Fu Ke.

Fu Ke's beard couldn't hide his flushed face. He lowered his head, saluted Mo Yingcheng, and glared at Lin Bai.

"It is wrong to have caused discord between Brother Mo and Brother Jing because of my affairs." Lin Bai bowed to Mo Yingcheng, looked at Jing Situi, and said, "Brother Jing, what do you think? Let's draw up a rule."

Mu Zhen stood close to Lin Bai and also looked at Jing Situi.

At this point, Lin Mu and the other man already had a contingency plan. If the other party did not release them, they would find a chance to escape.

Of course, if things can be resolved amicably, that would be a good thing.

"You two have misunderstood."

Jing Si Tui looked at Lin Mu and the others, smiled, and said, "The purpose of this trial is to seek an opportunity to achieve the Nascent Soul stage. Since you have something to seek, you should bear the dangers involved. Besides, when you are in a dangerous place, life and death are determined by fate. You can only blame Junior Brother Ying for not learning the skills well enough and not being favored by the Great Dao."

He bowed to Lin Bai and Mu Zhen and said, "I am sorry for being rude. I made you two laugh. Please forgive me."

Lin Bai and Mu Zhen didn't expect that Jing Shitui had no intention of pursuing the matter of Ying Wangtian's death, but was very polite to him.

"You two are guests. Now that the business here is over, you should stay for a few days. The scenery of Jiuzha Mountain is magnificent, and Li Wusheng can serve as your tour guide. If you two are homesick, you can do as you please." Jing Shitui was very kind and had no intention of forcing them to stay, nor did he intend to search their bodies and souls.

This man was humble and polite, which made Lin Bai like him even better.

Mo Yingcheng had guessed that Ying Wangtian's death must be related to Lin Mu and the others, so he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Jing, we wanted to stay in Jiuzha Mountain for a few more days so that we could pay a visit to Master Lihuo, but we were afraid that Master Lihuo was busy with affairs and we couldn't disturb him. Now that the matter here is over, I will take Junior Brother Zhuanlun and Junior Sister Mu back first, and will come to bother you again in the future."

"Okay." Jing Situi nodded with a smile, looked at Li Wusheng, and said, "Then please ask Junior Sister to send it off for me."

"Yes..." Li Wusheng responded.

When Fu Ke heard this arrangement, he was stunned. He wanted to speak, but was stopped by a female cultivator behind him.

Jing Si Tui smiled and nodded to Lin Bai and Mu Zhen, saying: "When you come to Jiuzha Mountain again in the future, please stay for a few more days. It would be a good thing for us to discuss Taoism and drink together."

"Of course!" Mu Zhen smiled in return.

"If Brother Jing visits Qiaoshan, please allow me to receive you." Lin Bai also admired this man's demeanor.

After a few more polite words, Li Wusheng led everyone out as if nothing had happened.

"Everyone, please go away." Jing Situi smiled and dismissed everyone.

After everyone had left, only Jing Situi, Fu Ke and Bi Huanqiu were left, along with a young female cultivator who was the one who had just grabbed Fu Ke and stopped him from speaking.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Fu Ke finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Big Brother! Are you going to let them go now?"

He pointed in the direction where everyone was leaving and asked, "Did Senior Brother Ying die in vain?"

"Du Changying, Yin Yan, and He Bingde are also dead." Jing Shitui said with a smile.

"It must have been done by Lin Zhuanlun and Mu Zhen!" said Fu Ke.

"No, there may be other reasons." The young female cultivator smiled and said, "It may be an internal conflict, and Lin Mu and the other two took advantage of it. But we can conclude that Senior Brother Ying's death is probably related to these two people."

"That's right!" Fu Ke immediately clapped his hands in response, "We worked so hard, but an outsider took advantage of us. Where can we go to seek justice?"

"We are the ones who invited this person, so only we can get him, not others. If you don't even have this kind of mind, how can you make progress in the future?" Jing Situi looked at Fu Ke and frowned to admonish him.

“Big Brother, I…” Fu Ke’s face flushed red.

"Big Brother, Fu Ke is just expressing his regret." The young female cultivator smiled and tried to help resolve the situation.

"What's there to be sad about?" Jing Si Tui said calmly. He looked at Bi Huan Qiu and said, "At that time, the two of them had not met Junior Brother Ying yet, but they met Junior Sister Bi first. She offered to help them, and her intentions were sincere, unlike those of a cunning and vicious person. In this case, there must have been other twists and turns with Junior Brother Ying, but there is no need to say more. Once you enter the secret realm, life and death are determined by fate."

"Then we should at least give Senior Brother Ying some justice!" Fu Ke was still very resentful.

"They are guests. Are we going to put them in chains? Examine what we have found? Imprison them for another hundred years?"

Jing Si Tui smiled and pointed to the south, "What if Senior Mu Yao comes to our door? What if Gu Qingshui comes to our door? Besides, I think Lin Mu and the other two have someone to rely on, so we may not be able to catch them."

"Alas!" Fu Ke sighed heavily, "If we don't do anything, Senior Brother Ying's death will be in vain!"

"Let's put it in the other's place. If we go to another family and encounter the same thing, would you be willing to be arrested by others?" Jing Situi smiled warmly, "If Junior Brother Ying had not died in the trial secret realm, we could have asked them for justice. But in the secret realm, the road is ahead. Since Junior Brother Ying wants to fight, he should accept this outcome."

"Is this matter revealed?"

The young female cultivator smiled helplessly, "The thing on the top of the mountain must have been passed down by the Taoist Master Wuxiang, or left by the one who drew the sword. It must be extraordinary. Lin Zhuanlun and Mu Zhen were the first to reach the top. From my point of view, it must be Lin Zhuanlun who got the first prize. And he was able to remove the sword intent in his body, which shows that he gained a lot from this trip."

Having said these words, the female cultivator sighed and looked at Bi Huanqiu.

Bi Huanqiu didn't understand.

"I see that you seem to have a different attitude towards Lin Zhuanlun. He helped you in the secret realm, so we can be considered to be in the same boat. You should interact with him more in the future." The young female cultivator smiled and looked at Bi Huanqiu, raising her eyebrows. "Lin Zhuanlun is under the protection of the Gu family of Qiaoshan, but the Gu family is weak, and there is only one newly promoted Yuanying. How can they compare to the vastness of our Jiuzha Mountain?"

Bi Huanqiu was no fool. After hearing this, she finally came to her senses, "Senior Sister Yue...he has a Taoist partner."

"Ah?" The young female cultivator called Senior Sister Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, "It won't hurt to try."

"After someone has plucked your peaches, you are sending women to your doorstep again?" Fu Ke immediately became anxious and pulled Jing Si's sleeves to withdraw his arms. "Big Brother, you don't want to do anything about it?"

Jing Si Tui smiled helplessly and said, "Junior Sister Yue, we in Jiuzha Mountain have not reached this point yet." He looked at Bi Huanqiu again and said, "But after all, it is Lin Zhuanlun who has obtained a great opportunity. There may be some truth in the future. You might as well communicate with him. I have established a good relationship with him. If he thinks of this friendship, he should be willing to make friends."

"Yes." Bi Huanqiu finally agreed.
