Chapter 564 It shouldn’t be like this!
"This person is so annoying. There are good monsters too! Not all monsters kill people. For example, my sister... wuwu..."
In an instant, Murong Ji's face turned green. In a hurry, he directly covered Tushan Rongrong's mouth. Don't be too quick-witted at this time! What's there to argue about?
If they were discovered saying these things, both of them would have to confess.
Murong Ji leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sell you to Tianxiang Tower!"
Seeing Tu Shan Rongrong nodding timidly with tears in her eyes, Murong Ji felt relieved and at the same time felt a little pity for her.
He slowly opened her mouth, picked up a few more pieces of food with his chopsticks and put them into her bowl.
"Haha! Confess your guilt on the spot! Arrest him!" Xiao Wancheng gave an order, and the Heiyao Inspector behind him rushed out instantly.
Murong Ji was confused. How could he admit his guilt? He hadn't seen it for a while, and he admitted his guilt? !
"Don't bully my aunt!"
Murong Ji stretched his neck to look and saw Yang Yitan, who was about the same age as him, had already jumped out of the crowd. He grabbed an inspector in each of his left and right hands. Using the force, he threw the two out directly.
He bumped into several other people and pushed six of them down the stairs together, giving off a feeling of 'one man guarding the pass against ten thousand'.
This move made Murong Ji raise his eyebrows. It must be said that the strength of this little kid is already enough to dominate the younger generation.
On the other hand, few of the Xiao family's disciples could last more than a few rounds in his hands. Just as Murong Ji was thinking, a fat man standing behind Xiao Wancheng suddenly rushed out and flew into the air.
"How dare you attack the Inspector! Look at the sword!" The fat man suddenly pulled out the long sword in his hand, and a golden light flashed, which was a bit dazzling. The sword light gathered and did not disperse, as if it condensed into a sword blade. Wrapped on the sword body.
Stabbed straight towards Yang Yitan.
"Tan'er, be careful!"
next moment.
Another child appeared beside Yang Yitan. Kingship! He put his middle finger and ten fingers together and directly clamped the golden light wrapped around the sword.
"Ding!"
With a sound, the golden long sword was firmly clamped between his fingers, stopping the attack of the fat man from the Xiao family!
Everyone in the hall had a heavy look on their faces, many of them had frowned and looked troubled. Most of them were from aristocratic families under the Xiao family.
Nowadays, although the Xiao family is powerful, it has no future! The younger generation of the Xiao family is not that outstanding. Compared with the younger generations of the Wang Quan family, the Yang family, the Zhang family, the Li family, etc., the difference is obvious!
The Xiao family has no future!
It was precisely because Xiao Wancheng saw this that he was so eager to get Chen Mi from the Chen family. It was said that he also received the secret teachings from the Taoist Alliance.
This move really startled Murong Ji, and instantly aroused his interest. Just by relying on this move, he saw the foundation of this king's hegemony.
[His strength is not worse than mine, how did this guy grow up? ]
In this world, his talent is indeed extraordinary. Murong Ji is able to do so because of the foundation he has from his previous life and several worlds.
The king's hegemony was unexpected. At such a young age, his foundation was even more solid than his own.
Murong Ji kept thinking in his heart that if we just talk about Taoism, royal power and hegemony, he is now even better than Murong Ji.
There is no way to compare their fighting power, but in terms of combat experience alone, Murong Ji completely defeats him.
After coming back to his senses, Murong Ji looked at Tushan Rongrong and signaled her to eat quickly. He also picked a few good dishes and put them into his swallowing bag to improve his meals on the way.
Feeling that it was almost time, Murong Ji grabbed Tushan Rongrong and tapped the ground with his feet. He was about to sneak away, but the next moment, his heart skipped a beat.
[Heavenly Gate Curse! This is directed at me.]
At some unknown time, a dense layer of forbidden runes appeared in the basement of the Yang family.
Murong Ji understood instantly that Xiao Wancheng had found out about his connection with the Yang family and was taking a gamble to see if he would come to the wedding banquet.
When he looked up again, Xiao Wancheng was standing at the door, looking around, searching for someone in the crowd.
Murong Ji's face darkened. Without thinking too much, everyone knew who he was looking for.
After searching for a while, he found no one. Xiao Wancheng's face darkened instantly, and he turned to look at Butler Fei.
He bowed slightly to show respect, and then asked, "I wonder if the leader is doing well these days?"
Butler Fei stood in front of Wang Quan Baiye and Wang Quanzui with his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "The condition and injury have not improved much."
"However... for the sake of the greater good of the world, I can still swing the sword one or two more times."
Xiao Wancheng stood up straight with a smile on his face. "Yeah, that's good, that's good."
As soon as the conversation changed, Xiao Wancheng looked at Patriarch Yang and said in a deep voice: "However, today this matter has come to this point, there must be a result."
"It's not a good idea for us to both insist on our own opinions. How about we listen to what Patriarch Yang has to say?"
This is a choice. If the Yang family chooses to keep Mu Renzhi, their reputation will be damaged and the effect of this attempt will be greatly reduced. If they choose to sacrifice the rook to save the king, it will give Xiao Wancheng a reason to further attack the Yang family.
"That's fine."
Butler Fei's face darkened, and he finally sighed helplessly. He took Wang Quanbaiye and Wang Quanzui back a step and made way for the main hall.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Patriarch Yang.
The atmosphere became extremely depressing.
No one knew what the old Patriarch Yang was thinking. He seemed to be weighing something and did not speak for a long time. Xiao Wancheng did not urge him either. He seemed to be appreciating the old Patriarch Yang's conflicted expression.
After a long silence, Patriarch Yang asked in a deep voice, "Tell me! Did you release the monster privately?!"
The wooden man was stunned for a moment. He seemed to be recalling the scene at that time. He looked at the people around him and said four words calmly: "I put it there."
Then he lowered his head, somewhat unwillingly, and immediately defended himself: "I just think that he has no ill intentions!"
……
Inside the hall, except for the sound of the wooden man, there was dead silence, followed by bursts of sighs.
I really have no words to say about the son-in-law of the Yang family. I don't know if he is stupid or honest...
Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, watched the wooden man's explanation with interest, and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
The reason why he was given this name was to trick him into giving away the medicinal herb in his hand. The quality of the herb was truly rare.
In Murong Ji's impression, he is just a good guy.
No matter who they were, they all chose to help, so that all their medical expenses were put under Mu Renzhi's account.
To be honest, Murong Ji actually disdains this kind of behavior.
Being kind is kind, being honest is honest. But, it is not pleasing to others.
So the question is, is it wrong to choose kindness and honesty?
From the perspective of practicing Xinggong, Mu Ren has achieved the sincerity that a cultivator should have, and is moving towards the most fundamental "truth".
In Murong Ji's view, this is a promising future. Although he doesn't like this person, it doesn't prevent him from liking talents.
But the world is like this, and any excuses made by Mu Renzhi are already pale and powerless. Even if the various schools and factions have supernatural powers, they are useless now.
The Xiao family was powerful, and even without evidence, they dared to do whatever they wanted. Now that they had evidence, they would never let go of this opportunity.
Everyone present knew that Xiao Wancheng's target was the Yang family.
Before Mu Renzhi could finish his explanation, Heiyao Supervisor stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders. It seemed that he was giving face to the Yang family and did not let him get too embarrassed.
Mu Renzhi suddenly stopped talking, glanced at everyone, and lowered his head slightly. He was not stupid, he knew that he had been abandoned, and he also knew that no one would believe in him. He just sighed softly, lowered his head and walked out of the hall step by step.
"Aren't you going to save him?" Tu Shan Rongrong raised her head from the food, glanced at Mu Renzhi, and then said.
"How to save him? This kid is just a piece of wood, he just deserves it." Murong Ji sighed secretly.
If this kind of thing is put in front of a person with high emotional intelligence and let him handle it, there will be no such twists and turns. In other words, the Yang family should be softer, thank you for your selfishness...
You can also get through this situation safely.
"But looking at you, you don't look like you're going to just leave it alone." Tu Shan Rongrong tilted her head slightly, looked at Murong Ji's expression, and said slowly.
Murong Ji's face darkened, and he slapped her on the forehead with his hand, "You know nothing. Stop guessing what others are thinking all day long."
"Ouch! Don't hit my forehead?! I'll become stupid..." Tu Shan Rongrong said aggrievedly, rubbing her forehead and saying reluctantly.
Murong Ji's mouth twitched. How smart can you be? But then again, Tu Shanrongrong's daily recitation is indeed effective and can open up her intelligence.
Ignoring Tushan Rongrong, Murong Ji suddenly stood up, and with a pair of blue transparent big hands, he slowly and silently reached behind the wooden man's head.
After a while, Murong Ji's eyebrows slightly sank, "Wait! Don't you want to ask what kind of monster he let go? Why did you arrest him so rashly?"
Xiao Wancheng paused, a sly smile flashed across his face, and then he slowly turned around and saw a child, about eight or nine years old, whom he did not know.
He is not a young master from a family, nor is he a direct descendant of a sect. Who is he? Is there any need to think too much?
Xiao Wancheng had a plan in mind, [Chen Mi...ah no...Xiao Mi, you finally showed up!]
Then he looked at Murong Ji with a half-smile, "Hahaha!! Little friend, do you have anything else to say? Just tell me, I am all ears."
Murong Ji's face darkened. Although it was easy and safe to keep silent, he felt bad for letting a good person end up like this.
Although good and evil are defined by humans, this is not the way a good person's ending should end.
