Lin Ruojin was confused.

Wu Mingchen saw her eyes widen slightly, and realized that his words were a little inappropriate, and wanted to make amends quickly. However, Lin Ruojin did not give him this opportunity. She held Wu Mingchen's fingers again and rubbed them gently.

He rubbed his penis as if no one was around. In a seemingly ambiguous scene, Wu Mingchen suddenly frowned, then quickly relaxed.

"Does it still hurt?"

“……” Wu Mingchen seemed to understand something and did not answer.

Baili Shun couldn't help but clench his fists slightly when he saw this scene. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Master Fenghuang, since you saved my wife, you are also my benefactor. If you don't mind, please stay in Tianshui Tower for dinner. We can talk about the theft of Yulou Dan later."

"It just so happens that my father has also told me to discuss this matter with Tianshui Tower. In that case, I will respectfully obey your orders."

The atmosphere between the two gradually calmed down and slowly returned to normal.

Lin Ruojin let out a breath slowly.

After the two of them went to the reception room one after another, Lin Ruofan changed his calm look and turned into Lin Ruojin's arms, crying and asking for comfort.

This hug almost cost Lin Ruojin's life.

"Ouch, it hurts, you pulled my old waist." Lin Ruojin gasped and frightened Lin Ruofan so much that he couldn't move.

"what happened?"

"I..." Lin Ruojin hesitated for a moment and told how she was injured by Boss Jin and rescued by Zhe Ye and Baili Shun.

just,

She didn't mention a word about the terrible scenes in her dream and Chen Xuanling.

After hearing what happened to Lin Ruojin, Lin Ruofan's eyes turned red and he apologized incoherently with red eyes.

"I'm sorry! It's all my fault. If I didn't know the way, I wouldn't have been targeted by the bad guys, and I wouldn't have met the second male lead... and it would have been so complicated. I can't help you in any way. I..."

Lin Ruojin gently patted Lin Ruofan's back, pulled him into his arms and said softly: "It's okay, it's not your fault. You should know that Boss Jin wants to deal with Lin Ruojin, and Baili Shun and the others want to fight for Lin Ruofan. You and I are just involved. Some things in the book are not something that you and I, two ordinary people, can control. Maybe this is fate."

Lin Ruofan sighed, touched Lin Ruojin's back, looked at the magnificent Tianshui Tower and asked: "What should we do now? We have come to this point, but Cang Lei..."

"Shh! You can't say it." Lin Ruojin interrupted her first, then she looked around and made sure that no one was around, then whispered to Lin Ruofan, "We'll go back and think of a way. Now we need to get rid of the people who are in our way. You deal with the three spirits, and I'll go get Boss Jin who's in the way..."

As he spoke, Lin Ruojin made a clicking gesture with his hand towards his neck.

On the other side, in the reception room.

Baili Shun asked Wu Mingchen to sit down, and then called a guard.

After the guard came in, he told Wu Mingchen about their discovery a few days ago.

The guard bowed to Wu Mingchen who was sitting below and said, "Three days ago, Huidinglou received a new batch of Wan Cod Sand, Shark Pearl Tears and Blood Sky Ginseng. Then, within one night, all the Blood Sky Ginseng was lost. When the owner of Huidinglou sent someone to investigate, he found a jade pendant left at the scene and handed it to the owner of the building."

As he spoke, the guard approached Wu Mingchen and handed him a phoenix-tail jade pendant made of excellent material with both hands.

The moment he saw the phoenix tail jade pendant, Wu Mingchen stood up suddenly. He pursed his lips and looked at the intricately carved phoenix tail pattern on the jade pendant. He took it and observed the material, shook it in his palm, and his expression instantly became solemn.

The guard continued, "Only Tianshui Tower and the Fenghuang Sect have Blood Heaven Ginseng on the market now. Even Huiding Tower gets its goods from the tower owner."

Baili Shun leaned back on a carved mahogany chair, supporting his head with one hand as he looked at Wu Mingchen who was holding the jade pendant below.

"Owner, there must be something fishy going on here."

"Of course, this building owner knows that first it was your sect's Yulou Dan, and then it was the Xuetian Ginseng. Yulou Dan is the treasure of the Fenghuang. Even if we really want to steal it, with Fenghuang's strength, it is impossible for me to get Yulou Dan easily even if I go there in person. Although Xuetian Ginseng is extremely valuable after being found in a bitter and cold land, its price is not higher than other goods. The thief specifically targeted the Xuetian Ginseng. Young master, think about the other party's purpose?"

"..." Wu Mingchen frowned, and suddenly thought of a long-lost alchemy recipe in his mind, which included Blood Sky Ginseng and Jade Tower Pill. "Could it be that the owner of the building thinks that the other party wants to..."

Baili Shun nodded and said, "There are only two things that people seek when cultivating immortality: immortality but the cycle of old age, sickness and death, and eternal honor and freedom from poverty, misery and disaster. This person is willing to sow discord between our two families to steal these two things. It's possible that he can't keep his original intention and can't become an immortal, so he wants to use his immortal body to enjoy wealth and glory forever."

Wu Mingchen looked at the jade pendant in his hand and seemed to remember something.

"Owner! I suddenly remembered something."

"Oh?"

"A few days ago, when I was out on a mission, I happened to meet someone whom I and the host knew."

"who?"

"My disciple Mu Yingzuo, who used to work in your Tianshui Tower and is now a disciple of yours in Wuhuang, arrived in Wuhuang, but he left Wuhuang not long after. But I seemed to see him sneaking around Huiding Tower that day, but I was in a hurry for the mission and didn't pay much attention to him."

Baili Shun was not very surprised when he heard the name. Instead, he seemed to have known this person for a long time.

"Mu Yingzuo, I know him. He is a useless person who has no ambition to make progress. It is indeed reasonable to say that he is a thief. However, he died at my hands two days ago."

Wu Mingchen hurriedly asked: "Why?"

Baili Shun sneered, watching his hand slowly rise and clench into a fist. The gap between his fingers was just enough to accommodate Wu Mingchen's body.

After observing through the gap, Baili Shun became more convinced that this man would not be his opponent in any aspect.

"How can a person who is afraid of death and only cares about pleasure have the guts to covet the things of Tianshui Tower and the Phoenix Sect? What's more, a dog with two masters is just a timid dog that only obeys orders and wags its tail to wait for rewards. He is so stupid that he doesn't even know what the mastermind behind the scenes looks like. Even if he is tortured, no useful information can be obtained from him. Young master, what's the point of not killing him but keeping him alive~"

"...But, he is related to this matter and was once a disciple of Qi Huang. Why didn't the host ever inform my father?" Wu Mingchen was secretly dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Baili Shun clearly did this on purpose. He was dissatisfied with his former servant who turned to Fan Huang, so he killed him as a demonstration and to warn everyone in Tianshui Tower not to have any second thoughts.

"No problem. He is useless to me. How can he have any future in the famous and upright sect of Wuhuang, which prides itself on strength and integrity? What's more, he has evil intentions to begin with. Maybe getting rid of him is also getting rid of harm." Baili Shun paused, his phoenix eyes reflected Wu Mingchen's tall and straight figure. A trace of mockery flashed in his eyes, and he said: "But young master, you have to be careful. There are you and me in the game. There must be many people involved. That person is very powerful, otherwise how could he hide his head and tail and enjoy the fruits of others' labor? The person behind the scenes must be found out, otherwise he will be like a maggot on the heel and suffer the consequences. Young master is so smart and capable, I will stop here, the rest..."

Although Wu Mingchen did not believe what he meant in his words, he felt that these words were indeed meant as a warning. If this was true, then this matter would concern the inner sect of the Fenghuang Sect.

Wu Mingchen was as calm as water. He put the jade pendant in his arms, looked at the man sitting in the upper seat, and nodded in response.

"I accept this jade pendant. Thank you for your advice."
