Chapter 489: Disappearance of Zhang Yude
Who could believe that a handful of soil from the ground could instantly transform into flames! Water! Wood and so on! It was as if it wasn't soil, but something that could transform into everything in the world! Xirang wasn't that amazing!

After a long while, Chen Jinkui finally came back to his senses from the shock, and his eyes gradually changed when he looked at Murong Ji, "Master Murong, can I...can I also learn to be like this?!!"

Murong Ji glanced at him calmly and said, "No."

Chen Jinkui: "Uh..." After being stunned for a long time, he sighed, got up from the ground, and exhaled deeply, "Master Murong, can you tell me the name of this technique?"

Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Chen Jinkui, and said with a smile: "It doesn't have a name, it's just the changes of the five elements to assist the changes of yin and yang. To be precise, it is a cultivation system."

Chen Jinkui: “…”

"The things of the Shuzi Sect can reach the sky, and someone has already done it. Chen Jinkui, since you have the treasure in your hand, why bother to covet other people's sky-reaching skills?"

Murong Ji looked up at the sky. Now he had figured it out a little bit. Wu Gensheng joined Quanxing in order to attain enlightenment and overcome tribulations. However, he didn't know what enlightenment he was attaining.

Helping others?

Who has so much free time? Respecting the fate of others is the greatest respect for destiny. If not for something, why would you go through the trouble of helping others?
Murong Ji was somewhat reluctant to go to Hangzhou, but nothing came of it.

Chen Jinkui will definitely not let go and will continue to pester Wang Ye, so his fate is already doomed.

Murong Ji stared at Chen Jinkui. Until now, he had not made a decision. He could not help but sigh, "Chen Jinkui! You and Wang also have an agreement. How about we make one too?"

Chen Jinkui suddenly raised his head and looked at Murong Ji, "Master Murong, you say! I will listen to you."

Murong Ji paced back and forth several times, thinking carefully, "First, you have to choose a good successor for the Shuzi Sect! Don't make trouble like Hu Tu."

"Secondly, explain the reason to your disciples. You might go crazy because of something. Don't let them fight against Wang Ye. If you are willing to accept the defeat, you can also preserve the strength of your faction."

"Third, you have to calm down. If Wang Ye voluntarily gives you the Fenghou Qimen, then I will also go the extra mile and give you this technique. How about that?"

Chen Jinkui smiled and said, "Just follow Master Murong's instructions! I will gather my disciples right away!"

The matter was settled. Murong Ji watched the selection competition for the new leader of Shuzi Sect and glanced at Chen Jinkui. It turned out that this old man did not have any desire for power.

"He is just like me, greedy for Dharma!"

But he was much luckier than Chen Jinkui. He was in the accumulation stage at that time and had endured all the hardships. He did not encounter any skills that were against the will of heaven, incomprehensible, and beyond his cognition.

Murong Ji exhaled slowly. If Chen Jinkui had more extensive knowledge of mathematics, he would not have been misled by it.

Thinking of this, Murong Ji took out a copy of Zhouyi and several annotations by later generations and placed them in front of Chen Jinkui. "Reading more books is good. You are studying mathematics. Do you dare to say that you can compare with the ancients?"

Chen Jinkui was stunned, looking at the seven or eight books in his hands, and for a moment, he felt mixed emotions.

A few days later, after listening to the explanations given by Chen Jinkui and his disciples, it was finally over.

After leaving the Chen family compound, Murong Ji sent a message to Dou Le on the way to the airport, asking him to pay attention to Chen Jinkui's affairs.

Don’t really let the matter between Chen Jinkui and Wang Ye get out of hand!

Before boarding the plane, Murong Ji looked back and decided to do everything he could. The rest had nothing to do with him.

As soon as Murong Ji left, Chen Jinkui asked someone to investigate Wang Ye's whereabouts. He followed Murong Ji and soon got on the plane.

Return to the capital.

After getting off the plane, Murong Ji saw the news that Chen Jinkui, one of the Tenth Masters, had abdicated as the head of the Shuzi Sect. Chen Jinkui was only in his sixties or seventies, which was definitely the prime of life for Qi cultivators like them.

Normally, it would be no problem for him to live to 120 or 130 years old. Chen Jinkui's abdication at this time caused a sensation.

Murong Ji took a taxi to his home. From a distance, he saw Qu Tong talking on the phone to someone. After packing up his things, he found a shady place in the backyard and sat down.

Qu Tong walked towards Murong Ji while chatting.

"Well, my husband is back...you know him...well...we'll meet and chat then."

After hanging up the phone, Qu Tong sat on the chair next to Murong Ji, "Is everything going well?"

Murong Ji shook his head. "This is a heart disease. Chen Jinkui can only rely on himself. No one can help him."

Qu Tong just asked casually how Chen Jinkui had nothing to do with him. "Do you still remember my senior named Li?"

Murong Ji was stunned. He was not Jiang Nanxi, so he naturally didn't know. He shook his head and said nothing more.

Qu Tong said to herself: "He married a Gu Master, and now his daughter is in college." After she finished speaking, Qu Tong looked into the distance with a bit of longing.

[What will Beibei be like when he goes to college? ]

After coming to his senses, he continued, "Coincidentally, she was admitted to Nanbukai University, which is the territory of the Xu brothers."

"Wei Shufen back then was one of the thirty-six thieves." Murong Ji was startled, then became more alert. "What do you mean?"

Qu Tong handed Murong Ji a stack of information and asked him to read it. Murong Ji looked carefully and saw that the first page was about a beautiful girl named Li Ziyuan.

She is lively and smart, and has the same energy as Lu Linglong, a restless and naughty girl. It's okay for boys to be naughty, but it's annoying for girls to be naughty.

Her mother is a supermarket cashier and her father is a surgeon.

More importantly, her mother’s master, named Luo Shuning, is currently the chief poison master of Qinghe Miao Village.

"This circle is neither big nor small, they are all involved. Husband, don't you think this is more like a new generation of thirty-six thieves? The thirty-six thieves led by you."

Murong Ji glanced at her unhappily, "It should be the Thirty-Six Sun Thieves led by Zhang Chulan. What's wrong with this little girl? I don't see what's wrong."

Qu Tong suddenly laughed, clung to Murong Ji's shoulders, and finally sat in Murong Ji's arms, "I know that Chen Duo's story has touched you deeply. This little girl is quite pretty, why don't you take her in as your apprentice, husband?"

Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, subconsciously alerted, and looked at Li Ziyuan's information again. He was a scumbag...

Only the witchcraft is worth watching.

"Nanbukai University..." Suddenly, an idea flashed through Murong Ji's mind. Someone was reorganizing the Thirty-Six Thieves! Or, they wanted to recreate the scene when Wu Gensheng and his friends realized the Eight Wonders...

[Is it Qu Tong...?]

As soon as the idea came out, it was immediately rejected by Murong Ji. Qu Tong had been exposed by him. In addition to the company's affairs, someone was watching her every move.

Don't underestimate people like Mu You who make a living from intelligence...

I flipped through the pages further and found that with the influence of Luo Shuning's disciples, it would not be difficult to get an admission letter from a 211 university through the connections with local companies. Why did he have to go to Nanbukai?
After thinking about it carefully, Murong Ji couldn't figure it out, but Qu Tong was reminding himself.

"I see."

Qu Tong raised the corners of her mouth slightly, buried her head in the crook of Murong Ji's neck, and asked: "Then will you accept this disciple?"

"Let's see the people first."

Murong Ji was stunned when he finished speaking, and then he quickly held Qu Tong down, "Don't! In broad daylight... Aren't you afraid of being seen?"

Qu Tong didn't know when her eyes were full of spring, her breath hit Murong Ji's ear, and she whispered softly: "I miss you..."

A few hours later, the sun was setting. Murong Ji sat on a recliner, closed his eyes, and slowly rested.

On another recliner, Qu Tong had collapsed all over, not wanting to move at all, staring blankly at the sky.

Murong Ji was constantly thinking in his mind, who could be behind this? Thinking about it, it seemed that it all revolved around Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao.

One by one, Murong Ji excluded the personnel, and those who were capable were watched and could not do it. Among the people he knew, there were very few who wanted to gather the Thirty-Six Thieves.

"That's the person in the dark..." Murong Ji slowly opened his eyes. He remembered that Zhang Chulan's parents had never shown up!
"Qu Tong, please help me do something."

"Well~ let me rest~ slow down~ or~ I'll suck... what did you say?!"

Murong Ji: "..."

He exhaled slowly and said directly: "Help me do one thing, find someone to assassinate Zhang Chulan. Let Xiao Xiao blast his soul out of his body..."

Qu Tong's brain worked quickly, and after thinking carefully, she finally understood, "You suspect that someone is standing behind Zhang Chulan to help him?"

"He is not in danger now...how..."

Murong Ji suddenly said, "What if it's the same as you? Or, those nine people back then, have something unfinished... and need someone to continue..."

Qu Tong took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Are you suspicious of Zhang Yude who has been missing for a long time?"

Murong Ji nodded, [She really knew. She was just reminding herself.]

"Zhang Chulan, his father's surname is Zhang, so his mother's surname is Chu. I haven't heard of any women with the surname Chu in the circle. Please keep an eye out for me, especially those who look very similar to Zhang Chulan..."

Qu Tong's face darkened. She really hadn't expected these things! "Okay, I'll find someone to check it out..."

Qu Tong made a phone call to explain. From the voice on the other end, it should be Judy...

Murong Ji stretched lazily, then sent a message to the Lu brothers and sisters, asking them to continue to follow Zhang Chulan and verify the results of the training during this period.

A few days later, Qu Tong drove her to Hebei, found a parking place nearby, and then took Murong Ji up the mountain.
