Start from Wusheng

Chapter 873: So what if you know?
The capital began to become uneasy.

Various forces were ready to make a move, and assassinations against Lu Xiangxing and Wulinbei began one after another.

It started with small fights, and later even developed into the dispatch of the Impermanence Killer. The most intense one resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people, and it happened in a place where many noble families in Dijing gathered.

This shows that many people can no longer sit still.

Whether it is for the purpose of suppressing the Three Gentlemen and the Eight Gentlemen, or because they do not want the feudal lord to extend his life as he wishes, their methods will not stop, but will escalate step by step.

Somewhere private...

Hai Tianfan and his daughter Hai Shuer were discussing something with each other.

"How was the test a few days ago?"

"All three hundred warriors were wiped out. The personal guards of Wulinbei are not just a shell, and he himself, well..."

Hai Shuer said calmly, "One of them was a dead soldier, disguised as my demon slave, and he sent a message before he died."

"It can be confirmed that the Wulin Monument is the Demon Slave of the Heart Demon Ring!"

Hai Tianfan exhaled, "Things are getting complicated. The Heart Demon Ring can turn the bastard son of the governor of Maijing Province into a soldier slave. He has deep roots in Dijing, and his invisible tentacles must be even more."

"It is very likely that he is the one behind the efforts of the three gentlemen this time."

For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

Hai Shuer had suffered a great loss at the hands of the Heart Demon Ring before, and she still feels the pain.

After she lost the Grandmaster's Mark, she had to focus on the Crippled Demon Hook while being tied to the Eight Gentlemen's faction.

This time, people were sent to assassinate the Wulin Monument to act as the vanguard on behalf of the warriors at sea, but the result was an unexpected surprise.

"I heard from Canmogou that the Heart Demon Ring is insidious and cunning, and the host it chose is also a shrewd person."

Hai Shuer analyzed, "This time, the focus is actually on the three gentlemen."

"Well, he saw that I was attached to the Eight Gentlemen, and wanted to challenge me."

Hai Tianfan said, "The enemy is in the dark while I am in the light. The most important thing is to find out the true identity of the host of the Heart Demon Ring."

"It's difficult. The other party hides himself very well."

Hai Shu'er was saying fiercely, "Let's not talk about the Heart Demon Ring for now. Now that Wu Luoye has the upper hand, it will be even more difficult to kill him."

When she mentioned Wu Luoye, she felt a dull pain in her chest. The Grandmaster's Seal was destroyed because he had assisted the Five Gentlemen in casting the cursed secret technique 'Grass Head Figurine'.

Although the Eight Gentlemen let bygones be bygones and accepted Wu Luoye, Hai Shuer still remembered the hatred.

She had always been planning to kill Wu Luoye and take revenge.

It must be said that it was precisely because of the hatred of this future lady that the catfish effect was played, making Wu Luoye feel a sense of crisis at all times, and he came up with the idea of ​​joining forces with Lu Xiangxing to offer the Lingou Gu.

Perhaps, this is what the Eight Gentlemen did on purpose, to bring two people who are as hostile as water and fire together so that they can supervise and promote each other.

"It's rumored outside that the Heart Demon Ring first appeared in Bukong City, and it's suspected that he was born a warrior from the sea."

"This dish of dirty water is dumped on our heads, and we still can't explain it clearly."

Hai Tianfan smiled bitterly and shook his head. They knew it very well. It was easy to deny the Heart Demon Ring, but it would be impossible to explain the Remnant Demon Hook once it was revealed.

Suddenly, he thought of someone, "Hai Shuer, have you heard any news about Zhou Daqian recently?"

"He, um, I heard that he was on duty at the Sacrifice Palace and has already reached the position of a thousand-schoolmaster. The Eight Gentlemen think highly of him, and his current position is even higher than Lian Feihong."

Hai Shuer thought of Zhou You and her face turned red, with some emotion stirring inside her body.

"Zhou Daqian never escaped from the empty city. After returning to Dijing, he said nothing about what happened that day. I originally thought that he was considering the overall situation and the marriage of the eight gentlemen..."

When Hai Tianfan said this, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, which even he himself found absurd.

"Is there a possibility that Zhou You is the host of the Heart Demon Ring?"

Hai Shuer chuckled and shook her head, "How is that possible?" Suddenly, she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Her mind was churning as she recalled the place where she had seen the Heart Demon Ring. It was the basement where Zhou You was imprisoned. Zhou You had disappeared, and a strange host of the Heart Demon Ring had appeared out of nowhere.

The thought hit her mind hard, and the heat surged from the soles of her feet to the top of her head like an electric current.

In an instant, Hai Shu'er was swept by a strong emotion mixed with shock, happiness and doubt. She felt numb and itchy, making her want to stick to the rock wall and rub it.

If that's the case, that's...very interesting.

"I want to go meet Zhou Daqian!"

Hai Shuer wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and took the initiative to make a request.

Zhou You was on duty when he suddenly heard his subordinates report that someone wanted to see him, and it was not from outside the palace, but a group of female relatives passing by.

He couldn't refuse because the other party was Hai Shuer, the future lady of the Eight Gentlemen.

How did she get here? Could she have been blown here by the recent wind?
"Principal Zhou Qian, please don't mind my sudden visit!"

This time, Hai Shuer used the excuse of paying respects to the palace and passed by Zhou You's defense zone, paying a visit openly.

"What do you want to see me, lady?"

Zhou You asked directly. He was now on the job and held a public office, so he had enough confidence.

So what if Hai Shuer is the host of Canmogou? This is a forbidden palace. Anyone who dares to be presumptuous will have to lie down even if the master comes.

"Please take a step to speak!"

Beside the Qingming Pond, the servants stood far away, a hundred feet away. They could only see Zhou You and Hai Shuer standing on the shore, keeping a safe distance from each other, and not doing anything indecent.

But I couldn't hear clearly what they were talking about.

Both of them are powerful and can control their qi and blood. Communicating through encrypted channels is child's play for them.

"Zhou Qianxiao, as the heir of the Zhou Clan's Western Sect, you are also the host of the Heart Demon Ring, which is somewhat rebellious!"

Hai Shuer threatened Zhou You as soon as she opened her mouth, not giving him a chance to deny.

"Me, Heart Demon Ring?"

Zhou You showed an amused and helpless look, shook his head speechlessly, and continued, "Suppose your guess is true, and I am the Heart Demon Ring, what can you do?"

Zhou You’s reaction was far beyond Hai Shuer’s expectations.

She had planned to firmly deny it at Zhou Youhui, but she led the way and finally her defenses fell, revealing her flaws and being caught by her.

But Zhou You didn't buy it. He didn't even bother to deny it and asked her directly instead.

Yes, even if Zhou You is really the Heart Demon Ring, what can she do?

Apart from that, Zhou You also knew that she was the host of Canmogou. This prince of the Western Sect of the Zhou family served as a thousand-school guard in the Forbidden Palace and was highly appreciated by the most favored Concubine Mei. He was the most valued subordinate of the Eight Gentlemen.

Believe it or not, if Hai Shuer dared to run to the Eight Gentlemen to complain, she would definitely die suddenly.

"Zhou Qianxiao, don't be so aggressive. I'm here to make friends with you."

Hai Shuer smiled beautifully and put on a posture that best showed off her advantages.

Zhou You replied stiffly, "Forget it. You and I cannot be friends. If you were a clean-minded woman and married to the Eight Gentlemen as a lady, I would make you my mistress. But you are a crippled demon. Even if you can cover it up for a while, you will be reduced to a lowly person if the incident is exposed in the future."

Hai Shu'er was furious. "You knew my identity, but you didn't tell the Eight Gentlemen. Your loyalty is limited. Aren't you afraid that he will find out..."

"Do you think the Eighth Gentleman knows?"

These words were like a sledgehammer, hitting Hai Shuer hard in the heart.

Zhou You looked at her dazed look and thought that the level of these high-level players in Dijing was beyond your imagination.
