Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

In a blink of an eye, seven days had passed since Lu Xunhuan took over as acting head of the sect.

There are many things, big and small, happening inside the door, but none of them are too important.

The body of the Wuji Sect leader was placed in a coffin, waiting for someone to carry it away.

But no matter how long everyone waited, no one came from Wujimen.

On the eighth day, Lu Xunhuan was in the main hall, practicing with his eyes closed, when Senior Brother Hao ran in breathlessly: "Junior Brother Lu, someone from the Immortal Friends Association is here."

Lu Xunhuan opened his eyes and asked, "How many people are here?"

Senior Brother Hao replied, "Three people from the Immortal Friends Association have come, and there's also Ji'an from the Wuji Sect."

Lu Xunhuan stood up and shook his clothes: "Welcome."

After a while, Lu Xunhuan arrived at the mountain gate.

There were four people standing outside the mountain gate. Ji An was someone he knew, and there were three others, two men and one woman, whom he had never seen before. They must be members of the Immortal Friends Association.

He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Lu Xunhuan, a disciple of Dengtian Sect, respectfully welcomes everyone from the Immortal Friends Association."

Among the three members of the Immortal Friends Association, one of them is a man in his forties, who should be the leader of the three.

The other two, the woman was about thirty years old and the man was about twenty-four or twenty-five.

The forty-year-old man looked Lu Xunhuan up and down and asked, "Are you Lu Xunhuan?"

Lu Xunhuan replied, "That's right."

The man snorted softly and showed a token from the Immortal Friends Association. "We are here on behalf of the Immortal Friends Association. Your leader didn't come to greet us, but instead sent a disciple. Isn't that rude?"

Facing the man's arrogant tone, Lu Xun Huan said calmly, "Master is in seclusion, so I'm temporarily taking over as the head of the sect. Please don't blame me."

The man snorted again, "Humph, seclusion, are you guilty of a crime?"

Lu Xunhuan gestured, "Everyone, please."

The three members of the Immortal Friends Association followed Lu Xunhuan up the stone steps with their noses in the air, all the way to the main hall.

After entering the hall, the three men sat down without any courtesy.

The man continued, "According to Wuji Sect disciple Ji'an, the Dengtian Sect leader and his disciple Lu Xunhuan plotted to have the Wuji Sect leader murdered. We've come from the Zhongzhou branch to seek justice for the Wuji Sect. Acting Sect Leader, do you have anything to say?"

Lu Xun Huan turned to look at Ji An and said, "Brother Ji An, we have offended many people during the competition. You can't just talk nonsense, right?"

He bowed to the three members of the Immortal Friends Association and said, "I believe Ji'an has already explained the whole story to you. I am also a victim. It is really a fluke that I am still alive. I hope you can understand."

The man stroked his beard and said, "Now that I'm here, I have to investigate. Let's take a look at the body first."

Soon, a group of five people arrived at the place where the coffin was stored.

The man from the Immortal Friends Association gestured to the other two and said, "Open it."

A man and a woman came forward and opened the coffin lid.

Although it was relatively cool here, the body had been there for many days, and even though it had not rotted, it still emitted an unpleasant odor.

The man took out a handkerchief and covered his nose with it, then took a closer look at the coffin.

After a moment, he asked Lu Xunhuan, "There are bruises on the neck, but judging by the shape of the bruises, it doesn't look like he was strangled to death. It looks like he was hit by something hard with a small surface. What do you think it was?"

Lu Xun Huan shook his head and said, "I'm an outsider and don't know anything about this. Are you saying that my master unexpectedly attacked his throat with a hard object?"

The man walked around the coffin and said, "According to Ji An, you fabricated the lie about the Heaven and Earth Spirit Cave to lure the head of the Wuji Sect here, and your master committed the murder."

Lu Xunhuan said innocently, "When Ji An sparred with me that day, he only used three moves before punching me in the back of the head. My vision went black, and I lost consciousness. Everyone thought I was dead and buried me. If I hadn't survived, who would I have turned to for justice?"

The man looked at him with sparkling eyes: "You mean, Ji An killed someone intentionally?"

Lu Xun Huan turned to look at Ji An. "The two sects are usually quite friendly. Is there any reason for them to kill each other during a duel?"

The man remained noncommittal. "If he wanted to kill you, he must have had a motive. You two didn't even know each other before the duel, so what motive could he have for wanting to kill you?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "I can't figure it out either. Let's just assume it was a mistake for now."

The man pondered for a moment, then said to his two companions, "I didn't expect this case to be so complicated and full of suspicious points. We shouldn't jump to conclusions. What do you think?"

The man and woman nodded: "That's right."

The man ordered the two men, "Cover it up, let's go check out the crime scene."

After an incense stick of time, the group of five arrived at the back mountain again.

Now, the earth pit has become a dangerous place because the leader of the Wuji Sect died here, and no disciples dare to come here anymore.

After they arrived, they stood around the pit and looked at it for a while.

The man asked Lu Xunhuan, "Were you buried here?"

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "That's right."

The woman next to the man, who had been silent the whole time, asked, "How long has it been buried?"

Lu Xunhuan replied, "I don't know."

The man asked Jian, "Do you know how long he has been buried?"

There was already sweat on Jian's forehead, and he was obviously feeling a little guilty.

He suppressed his inner uneasiness and replied, "We were fighting this morning, and I accidentally injured him. It was probably around noon. The head of the Dengtian Sect came over to make sure he was dead, so he had him carried here and buried. As for when he woke up, I don't know."

The man asked Lu Xunhuan again: "When did you wake up?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "Around midnight, when I crawled out, the moon was full in the sky."

The man stroked his beard and said, "From the morning till the evening, eight hours. I was buried in the ground, and the pit was quite deep. To think I could still be alive..."

He jumped down and lay down in the pit. "Let me think about it here for a while. You two take them and call out the leader of Dengtian Sect for questioning."

The man and woman saluted: "Yes."

The four of them walked up the mountain and returned to the main hall.

The woman said to Lu Xunhuan, "Take me to find your leader."

Lu Xunhuan said, "I don't know where the Sect Leader is in seclusion."

The woman turned around and said, "No problem, go out and ask around. Let's go."

Lu Xunhuan deliberately turned his head to look at Ji An, with a meaningful expression in his eyes.

Ji An felt terrified and even more guilty.

Lu Xunhuan followed the woman out of the hall, and the two of them walked on the winding stone path in the mountains.

The woman asked, "You really have nothing to do with the death of the Wuji Sect's leader?"

Lu Xunhuan replied, "I am also a victim."

The woman asked again, "Do you think Jian killed you on purpose, rather than accidentally?"

Lu Xun Huan continued, "In a martial arts competition, is it necessary to kill someone?"

The woman then asked, "But what was his motive for killing you?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "I don't know. I'm just suspicious. In a martial arts competition, how can you kill someone?"

The woman didn't say anything else, as if she was lost in thought.

After a while, the two walked to a relatively secluded place and the woman stopped.

She whispered, "What do you hope will be the final outcome?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "Find out the truth, clear my name, and restore Deng Tianmen's innocence."

The woman stared at him for a moment. "I'll give you three choices. Are you willing to listen?"

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "You go ahead."

The woman said, "First, secretly join my Immortal Friends Association. We will smooth things over and let the Wuji Sect carry the coffin and leave."

Lu Xun Huan said, "What virtue or ability do I have to deserve the respect of the Immortal Friends Association?"

The woman said, "We accept people, regardless of their origins, as long as you are willing."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "What about the second one?"

The woman said, "Second, tell me how your strength suddenly increased so dramatically. If I can benefit from it, I will help you achieve whatever result you want."

Lu Xunhuan asked again, "What about the third one?"

The woman squatted down and picked a small yellow flower from the roadside: "Third, if you are unwilling to give us anything, we can only seek justice for Wujimen."

After listening to this, Lu Xunhuan shook his head in his heart.

Is this the so-called Immortal Friends Association? There is no fairness or justice at all. It is all about taking advantage of others.

Just as the legend says, he only thinks about making money and getting benefits.

However, isn't it precisely because of this that I hope they won't be so fair and just?

He then asked, "Can you tell me how much Wujimen gave?"

The woman stood up holding the small yellow flower and held up a finger: "One hundred taels of silver."

She continued walking forward. "Of course, this hundred taels is for our Immortal Friends Association to handle justice. If it's deposited into the Zhongzhou branch's account, I won't get a penny."

Lu Xun Huan followed her silently for a while before saying, "We were going to look for my master, but it seems like it's become a stroll?"

The woman stopped, half turned around, and faced Lu Xunhuan sideways: "Have you made up your mind?"

Lu Xunhuan's gaze swept across the abrupt mountains.

He shook his head and said, "I'm innocent, but I have to face so many conditions..."

The corner of the woman's mouth seemed to reveal a hint of contemptuous smile: "Little brother, this is the world..."

Lu Xunhuan touched his chin and said, "Let me think about it."

The woman turned around and smiled sweetly: "Take your time to think about it. Let's go and find your master."

After walking a few steps, she turned back and said, "Whatever I said just now, no matter what choice you make, you are not allowed to reveal a single word to anyone. Otherwise... I'm afraid the world will not tolerate you..."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "May I know your name?"

The woman replied: "Qiao, if you don't mind, you can call me Sister Qiao..."

As she spoke, she smiled at him again, a smile that was very charming and meaningful.
