Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

That day, Xueyao was checking the account book as usual, and suddenly found that there was something wrong with the recent accounts.

After checking carefully, she found that a large sum of money was missing.

Xueyao became suspicious and began to investigate the matter.

As the investigation deepened, she found that all the clues pointed to one person - Liu Maodong's deputy.

This man has always shown himself to be very loyal, but now it seems that he is hiding something secret.

Xueyao decided not to alert the enemy and secretly observe his every move. At the same time, she also warned Liu Maodong to be careful of this person.

Xue Yao asked Xue Yu to keep an eye on the deputy's whereabouts. Xue Yu discovered that the deputy often met with strangers in private and looked nervous.

Xueyao secretly guessed that these people might be related to the missing money.

In order to find out the truth, Xueyu decided to follow the deputy, and Xueyao agreed.

One night, the deputy left the mansion again, and Xueyu followed quietly. They came to a remote house, and Xueyu hid in the dark, observing the movements inside.

I saw the deputy sitting with a few people, discussing something.

Xue Yu listened with bated breath, but heard shocking news.

It turned out that the deputy had colluded with others to try to usurp Liu Maodong's family business, and the missing money was part of their plan.

Xue Yu felt furious and turned away.

After Xueyao learned about this, she secretly vowed to expose the conspiracy and protect Liu Maodong's interests. So she began to plan her next move.

Xueyao decided to pretend she knew nothing and continue to have normal interactions with her deputy. Meanwhile, she secretly gathered evidence, ready to expose the conspiracy at the right time.

During a meeting about a grain store, Xueyao deliberately set a trap to expose the deputy's true intentions. The deputy thought his plan was perfect, but he didn't expect Xueyao to have seen through his conspiracy.

When the deputy triumphantly announced his plan to everyone, Xue Yao suddenly stood up and presented all the evidence one by one. Everyone was shocked and accused the deputy of betrayal.

Seeing this, Liu Maodong angrily questioned the deputy why he did this. The deputy panicked when he saw that his plan was exposed and tried to escape. But Xue Yao was prepared. At her command, Xue Yu apprehended the deputy.

In the end, the deputy was brought to justice and Liu Maodong's property was preserved.

After this incident, Liu Maodong trusted and appreciated Xue Yao even more, and his evaluation of her became even higher.

It turned out that Xue Yao and Liu Maodong had already discussed it and deliberately arranged a strong conflict to make it seem that their cooperation was coming to an end.

Seeing that the relationship between Xueyao and Liu Maodong gradually developed into hostility, even Tao Xuzhi, who always did things silently, became worried.

One day, he asked Xueyao, "Sister, Liu Maodong is now in such a state. What does this mean to us..."

"It's okay, Brother Tao, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Seeing that Tao Xuzhi was a little anxious, Xue Yao comforted him.

"Okay, big brother can't help, I just want to ask, I hope my sister is okay." Tao Xuzhi breathed a sigh of relief with a hint of guilt.

"Brother Tao, don't say that. You're a very competent shopkeeper and have helped me a lot." Xue Yao smiled. "Just focus on your grain shop business and don't worry about me."

"Okay." After Xueyao said this, he didn't say anything more.

The deputy, seeing Xueyao and Liu Maodong had become enemies, became even more unscrupulous, thus allowing Xueyao to obtain a lot of evidence of his misdeeds.

However, Xue Yao never dreamed that the person behind the scenes was actually that person.

After the deputy was arrested, Xue Yu obtained Xue Yao's consent and continued to track the group who had secretly met with the deputy.

Xue Yu followed them all the way to a secluded valley. He hid in the dark and observed the group's movements.

Soon, a carriage slowly drove up and stopped at the valley entrance. The door opened, and a mysterious figure stepped out. Xue Yu looked closely and was startled. Several men in black stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, Master."

Xue Yao recognized that among the men in black, one was Hong Feng'er, and the other was the man in black who had come to Meihua Mountain to challenge Xue Yao and asked for Hong Feng'er.

It seems that they are really senior and junior brothers and sisters.

The person who came turned out to be Hong Fenger’s master, Old Man Xuanfeng?

When Xue Yu was out training, he had heard that the person in charge of Niutou Mountain was called Elder Xuanfeng. Since he was Hong Feng'er's master, then he must be the one.

After Elder Xuanfeng spoke with the group for a while, they walked into a cave deep in the valley. Xueyu decided to follow them to see what they were planning. However, as he approached the cave, a powerful aura pushed him back.

Xue Yu sighed inwardly. It seemed that Elder Xuan Feng's strength far surpassed his own. However, he did not give up. Instead, he quietly circled to the other side of the cave entrance, trying to find another entrance.

As luck would have it, Xue Yu found a small, hidden cave that was just big enough for him to pass through. He carefully entered the cave and crawled inside.

The cave was pitch black, filled with a strange atmosphere. Relying on his keen senses, Xue Yu groped his way forward. After an unknown amount of time, he finally arrived at a spacious stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber, Elder Xuanfeng and the group were sitting together, discussing something. Xue Yu held her breath, eavesdropping on their conversation.

Xueyu heard them discussing an evil spell that seemed to be related to the ancient demon god.

"No, we must not let them succeed." Xue Yu secretly clenched his fists.

However, at this moment, Xue Yu accidentally stepped on a loose stone, making a noise.

"Who?" Old Man Xuanfeng immediately became alert and cast a spell to illuminate the entire stone chamber.

Xue Yu had nowhere to hide and had to stand out.

"So it's you, brat." A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the old man Xuanfeng, and then he said with a sneer, "Since you heard something you shouldn't have heard, don't even think about leaving here alive!"

After saying that, he waved his hand to signal the group to take action.

Xue Yu was in danger, but he was not afraid and decided to fight a desperate battle with the enemy...

Xue Yu dodged the oncoming attack with a flash of his body. He held the sword tightly in his hand and engaged in a fierce battle with the group.

Sword shadows intersected, lights flashed, and the stone chamber was suddenly filled with a tense atmosphere.

Xue Yu's swordsmanship was fierce, and each move contained endless power. However, the enemy was outnumbered and well-coordinated, and Xue Yu gradually felt overwhelmed.

At this moment, Xue Yu suddenly discovered the enemy's weakness. He seized the opportunity and stabbed one of them in the vitals. The man screamed and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the others surrounded and attacked. Xue Yu fought hard, but was ultimately outnumbered and suffered multiple injuries.

Seeing that she was about to collapse, Xue Yu gritted her teeth and used her last trick.

In this critical moment, Xue Yu poured all his energy into mobilizing his entire spiritual power, condensing it into a dazzling brilliance on the tip of his sword. He steeled his heart and swung his sword fiercely. Suddenly, a massive and majestic sword energy erupted like a raging dragon from the sea, roaring and forcing back the surrounding enemies and sweeping away all obstacles.

At this moment, inside the stone chamber, both the enemy and our side were shocked by this astonishing momentum and retreated in all directions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xue Yu transformed into a streak of light, rushed out of the stone chamber, and headed towards the outside of the valley. He knew that this place was full of dangers and he couldn't stay for a moment. He had to quickly pass this important information to Xue Yao.
