Chapter 728: Two Cunning Thieves
She knew about Tushan Honghong's problem, but she couldn't solve it. Now... it seems that she has found a suitable candidate.

[The question now is how to make his sister fall in love with him, or...he fall in love with his sister.]

As soon as the idea came to mind, a series of plans and ideas popped up in my mind.

Tu Shan Rong Rong came back to her senses and saw Murong Ji staring at her, "What's wrong?"

Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, "You...are already plotting against Dongfang Yuechu?!"

Tu Shanrongrong: "..."

"I would like to advise you not to bet on a person or make plans for him before you are completely sure of his character. For someone you don't have complete control over, he may not necessarily follow your plan."

Tu Shan Rongrong was stunned and said lightly: "I know."

After dinner, I took a short rest and then went straight to bed to sleep.

Not long after, Tu Shan Rong Rong turned over and pressed on Murong Ji's chest...

the next morning,
Murong Ji rubbed his lower back, walked out of the cave, stood in front of the cave entrance, and looked towards the city at the foot of the mountain.

The shops in Tushan gradually started to operate and the noise became increasingly complex.

Today's Tushan has undergone tremendous changes. Compared with Tushan 20 years ago, it is like heaven and earth.

Facing the rising sun, Murong Ji walked towards the place where he used to practice. After finishing his morning lessons, he returned to the cave.

Tu Shan Rongrong had already prepared breakfast and took a quick bite.

Murong Ji followed Tushan Rongrong down the mountain and entered Tushan City. He stood not far away and watched Dongfang Yuechu's reactions and actions.

Sure enough, just as Murong Ji thought, this kid is just like his mother, he is carefree and lazy.

For a moment, I was speechless.

Logically speaking, he should be trying to figure out how to survive in Tushan. But this guy is just muddling along, not really caring about his situation.

Murong Ji thought about it for a moment and realized that he had no choice, otherwise he would have made a fuss a long time ago.

Suddenly, Murong Ji thought of a sentence he said when he was discussing personality and mentality issues with Su Shi.

There is peace within and there is support outside.

Only in this way can the heart be at peace. When the heart is at peace, one can deal with things calmly and muddy water can become clear.

Some people think very clearly. Su Shi's official career had many twists and turns, but he had a very good attitude.

At this moment, Dongfang Yuechu really does have some of Su Shi's flavor.

"What do you think? Your attitude now will determine this kid's future in Tushan." Tushan Rongrong stood behind Murong Ji and said softly.

Murong Ji came back to his senses, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Find a way to get him to practice seriously. This kid's talent is inherited from his mother, and his spiritual power can also save him most of his practice time."

Spiritual power is something that is almost inherited from mother to son. Murong Ji instead wants Dongfang Yuechu to follow the path of true Qi and true Yuan, as the energy system of true Yuan operates more stably.

"But... this mentality is fine, but his lazy character is not. Just like his mother, he ended up with nothing. Isn't it a waste of his talent?"

Tu Shan Rong Rong suddenly laughed, as if everything was under her control, and said, "I know."

Then he changed the subject and asked, "What about your retainer, Ximen Chuisha? How do you deal with him?"

Murong Ji put his hands behind his back, turned around and left, and his voice sounded faintly: "Return his magic weapon to him, and let him go back and continue to obey Wang Quanzui's orders."

Tu Shan Rongrong followed behind him and turned to look in the direction of the giant bitter tree. [At this time, my sister should be practicing under the tree, right? ]

Then, Tu Shan Rong Rong asked, "I heard that you have been looking for Jin Ren Feng?"

Murong Ji paused, looked back, and asked in surprise: "Do you have a solution? Or do you have any news about him?"

Tu Shan Rongrong smiled cunningly, "I don't have any news about him. After escaping from you twice, this guy seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth."

"How about... we set up a game... what do you think?"

Murong Ji looked at Tu Shan Rongrong's foxy smile and thought, "Is this inviting me to join the game?!" After thinking for a while, he realized that there was no trap to set, so it was not aimed at him.

I was immediately interested. [Set up a game? What game?]

While speaking, he kept wondering what Tu Shan Rongrong's purpose was.

After thinking about it carefully, he asked, "Are you doing this for your sister? Is Tushan Honghong in trouble?"

Tu Shan Rongrong was startled, then smiled and said, "I can't hide it from you after all!"

"The negative power of the bitter tree needs someone to take responsibility and resolve it. After Feng Xi left Tushan, my sister has been doing all these things."

"Not long ago, when I was comprehending the power of the giant bitter tree, I also came into contact with this negative power."

"And because of some previous reasons, I concluded that something must have happened to my sister. And I speculated that Feng Xi was also affected by the negative energy and became like that." Murong Ji nodded, pondered for a moment, and understood the key. The negative energy of the Bitterness Tree is like the seven emotions and six desires of living beings. He had understood this thing as early as when he came into contact with the Bitterness Tree.

It's not surprising that Tushan Honghong is having problems now. As for Feng Xi...

Thinking of Feng Xi, Murong Ji frowned slightly. He had always guessed that the black fox creature outside the circle was brought into the circle by her.

Murong Ji even thought that the black fox was created by Feng Xi based on the negative power of the giant tree of suffering.

Murong Ji looked at Tushan Rongrong. If it was true as he thought, Feng Xi must have seen or participated in the birth of the three Tushan sisters.

Even the birth of the three Tushan sisters was facilitated by her.

If it was Murong Ji who was in charge, it would be most convenient to use the awareness outside the circle.

Murong Ji felt as if struck by lightning in an instant. After he came to his senses, he looked at Tushan Rongrong again and slowly exhaled a breath. The more he thought about this possibility, the more reasonable it seemed.

However, this is not important anymore.

"Tell me what you think." Murong Ji walked towards the Twin Peaks. Tu Shan Rongrong followed behind him, expressing her thoughts word by word.

The two chatted slowly and gradually perfected the plan.

A few days later, a piece of news spread almost everywhere in the human and demon worlds: the second lady of Shenhuoshan Villa had a son, and this child was stranded in Tushan.

Not long after the news spread, Dongfang Qinlan came knocking on the door with people.

A magnificent battle was staged, which ended with Dongfang Qin Lan's miserable defeat. The story was then spread by Tu Shan Rong Rong, with a vivid description.

It is no secret that Shenhuoshan Villa was defeated and lacks top combat power.

In order to get Dongfang Qinlan to cooperate with him in this big drama, Murong Ji had no choice but to accept Dongfang Yuechu as his apprentice.

After seeing off Dongfang Qin Lan and his wife, he looked at Dongfang Yuechu who was standing next to him and was about to say something.

Suddenly, a voice called out from the bottom of the mountain, "Son, learn if you can, forget it if you can't. Remember to bring more pills. Old thief Murong took our money! Don't lose out!"

Murong Ji's face darkened. Looking at Dongfang Qinlan's unreliable look, he was even more furious. "You are talking nonsense! I am collecting money to treat your injuries. The Rhubarb Pill is very valuable! There is no market for it!"

"How about I give you ten times the money and you two return the rhubarb pills to me!"

The rumbling sound spread out, but there was no more voice of Dongfang Qinlan. She followed the Tushan fox demon out of Tushan.

Murong Ji was so angry that his face turned pale and he was breathing heavily. The couple had run out of energy and were about to die, but they were saved by his two rhubarb pills...

"Master, are my father and mother dying?"

Murong Ji paused, looked down at Dongfang Yuechu, the anger on his face slowly dissipated, facing his innocent eyes, Murong Ji was speechless.

"You can't say they're dying soon, you can only say their life span is short. If they can live to fifty, they're already lucky. Nowadays, they're halfway through their lives."

Dongfang Yuechu didn't say a word, but suddenly tears started streaming down her face. She wiped away her tears and finally asked, "Then... can it be cured? I... I..."

Murong Ji touched his head, not knowing how to comfort him, "This is not a disease or poison, the injury has healed, it's a matter of life span."

Dongfang Yuechu nodded as if she understood, wiped away her tears and stopped crying.

Murong Ji sighed lightly. This child's character was stronger than he had imagined. Normal children of this age would be very attached to their parents.

The escape really made him grow up a lot.

"Ha, your mother reminded me. I haven't even collected tuition for teaching you this little thing. From now on, you have to earn your own food in Tushan. If you can earn, you can have a full meal. If you can't, you'll starve."

Seeing Dongfang Yuechu's stunned look, Murong Ji continued, "If you can learn what I teach you and learn it well, I will give you five taels of silver. That's it."

After he finished speaking, Murong Ji turned around and went into the cave. The rest could be left to Tu Shan Rongrong. With Tu Shan Rongrong, a scoundrel, around, Dongfang Yuechu would definitely not have an easy time.

Half a year later.

Murong Ji stood on the Twin Peaks and looked at the Qi power that Dongfang Yuechu displayed. It was quite good. He nodded and said, "It's considered passing. It's just like that. I'll deduct half of the five taels of silver. You can spend the remaining two taels."

As he said that, Murong Ji stuffed the silver into his hand.

"Master, you can't be so dishonest!" Dongfang Yuechu felt like crying but had no tears. He felt like crying but had no tears in his eyes as he held the two taels of silver. In a den of brothel like Tushan, two taels of silver really could not buy anything.

Murong Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, "Giving you two taels of silver is too much."

Then, he raised his sword fingers together, and a stream of sword energy condensed into a long sword, the sword edge was as sharp as a substance.

Dongfang Yuechu was stunned. This kind of sword energy was like a magic weapon!

"Practice with your heart. Cultivation is not about how many times you practice to reach a certain level. It requires your heart."
