I am a cannon fodder, so what's wrong with grabbing an opportunity?

After the banquet, Xie Zhiqiu was driven out by Mu Xi to wait at the door.

Mu Xi explained to She Zuo inside.

"Left Protector, my junior brother's brain is not very good, and he speaks without thinking. Please forgive me..."

She Zuo said calmly: "It's okay."

"But Mu Xi, you have to keep an eye on him. This place is not like your sect."

"Yes, yes, the Left Protector is right."

How could Mu Xi not know this?

This Xie Zhiqiu only knows how to cause trouble for herself every day and make me clean up her mess.

As soon as Mu Xi went out, he grabbed Xie Zhiqiu's ear and walked away.

"Hey, hey, hey, brother, let's talk it over, let's talk it over..."

She Zuo just watched from afar.

Wei Ming was busy in the study.

We originally planned to receive the Left Protector and give a lecture, but the budget suddenly went over budget.

Now another envoy, Mu Zun, has arrived. Not to mention the reception expenses, he has destroyed so many places as soon as he arrived.

There is a banquet today, but I know what it is.

The spirit stones were spent like water, but no money was earned.

He climbed to this position alone, without any family support, and his glory is just on the surface.

Although he married Shen Zhiyan and had the support of the Shen family, the Shen family was not on the same page with him after all.

He didn't even think about how much benefit their Shen family had gained by leveraging his power and reputation, which enabled them to be able to compete with the Xiang family today.

Now, because of Shen Yue’s matter, the relationship between them has become so tense.

But it’s just a youngster’s death, that’s not a big deal.

The more Wei Ming thought about it, the angrier he became.

The guard at the door heard the sound of porcelain breaking inside and didn't react at all.

It seems that I have become accustomed to it.

Wei Ming left the study under the cover of night.

"Father-in-law, Shen Mei, I don't want to think about A Yue's affairs. You also know what happened that day."

Wei Ming softened his tone and gave a pale explanation.

Shen Mei snorted coldly and asked:

"So you let that She Zuo kill A Yue? Can't you even save his life?"

"I definitely wanted to protect A Yue, but at that time She Zuo was sure that A Yue was colluding with He Huo, and even suspected the Shen family..."

Wei Ming did not continue speaking.

Shen Mei didn't accept his move:

"Is that really the case? Are you suspecting the Shen family or you?"

Wei Ming was choked with anger and said in a high voice:

"Shen Mei, I admit that I failed to save Ah Yue. You are angry, but why should I say such things?

If not, why wouldn't I save A Yue?

You all saw how I treated Ah Yue. "

"You are so good to Ah Yue, and what you are asking for, we both know it very well."

Shen Mei speaks without thinking.

The head of the Shen family spoke, "Amei."

Shen Mei could only turn his head away unwillingly.

"Wei Ming, Ah Mei is just too sad, so her words may sound harsh, but you shouldn't take it to heart."

The head of the Shen family turned around and comforted Wei Ming.

"Father-in-law, I understand. I won't take it to heart."

"Let's get back to business. What brings you here so late today?" asked the head of the Shen family.

Wei Ming sighed helplessly:

"You should also know that another envoy from above came and brought up what happened that day..."

Day two.

Mu Xi took Xie Zhiqiu to visit She Zuo.

"Protector She, I'm really sorry for what happened last night. I drank too much and talked nonsense... Please forgive me."

She Zuo didn't expect Mu Xie to come and apologize to him so early in the morning.

He glanced at Mu Xi and thought: I really gave him a good lesson when I got home last night.

"Last night, I heard about what happened that day. Someone actually disrespected you so much. It was simply too much. In order to make amends for you, I will definitely help you find that person."

Xie Zhiqiu was filled with righteous indignation and even raised his fist.

She Zuo: The education was not thorough enough...but it was intentional.

"That's hard work."

This matter was approved by She Zuoming.

"Then... Lord Protector, if I help you capture the person, can you guarantee me entry into the Jiao Temple?"

Xie Zhiqiu asked while rubbing his hands flatteringly.

Mu Xi took the opportunity to give her a slap on the head and said with gritted teeth:

"Mu Xie, what did I teach you last night?"

He turned around and said to She Zuo, with a serious look on his face:

"Left Guardian, don't worry, I will give him a good lesson when I get back."

Xie Zhiqiu was dazed, his eyes full of dissatisfaction, as if questioning Mu Xi, why did you hit me again.

"What are you looking at? Apologize now."

Mu Xi said viciously.

She Zuo: What are you two doing? You make me look like a villain.

I had to step out to smooth things over and say something against my will: "Forget it, forget it, Mu Xi, the child is still young, just teach him slowly."

"Mu Xie, if you can really bring that man to justice, I will ensure that you can enter the Jiao Temple."

After receiving the promise, Xie Zhiqiu wanted to say something else but was forcibly dragged away by Mu Xi.

She Zuo looked at the two people's backs as they left with interest.

A physical cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, if only in terms of punches and kicks, can fight on equal terms with Mu Xi, who is at the Spirit Severing stage. He still has some skills.

If he could really be recruited, he would indeed be a good fighting force.

Xie Zhiqiu got the list of all the people on the stage at the briefing that day.

Half of them were from the Jiao Temple, and the rest were almost all from aristocratic families, including three independent cultivators including He Huo.

Xie Zhiqiu brought Mu Xi, the distinguished envoy, to visit them one by one.

Cheng Mo watched his master being dragged around by Mu Xie, and dared not say anything to Xie Zhiqiu.

Finally, after asking everyone in the Jiao Temple, Cheng Mo couldn't help it and advised:

"Sir, we can just investigate this matter. You are here for Haru...business."

"That's business, isn't it?"

Xie Zhiqiu questioned righteously.

"How do you know that this Hehuo has nothing to do with the Spring Demon?

What if she is the remnant and accomplice of the Spring Demon?

If she really runs away, can you afford it?"

Xie Zhiqiu stated the facts reasonably.

But Cheng Mo was prejudiced against her and didn't believe her at all. He raised his voice by two notches:

"Don't confuse people here. How do you know they are in the same group? Do you have any evidence?

I think you just want to delay our master from doing his business."

Xie Zhiqiu already hated Cheng Mo for throwing him into the deep pool.

If Mu Xi hadn't said that he was still useful, I would have killed him. How could he let him complain here?

“You don’t even understand reasonable assumptions, and you’re still yelling here.

I think you just don't like me and are picking on me. I am making a reasonable assumption, Brother, do you think I am right?"

Mu Xi: Junior sister, I know you did all this, but is it appropriate for you to reveal your alias like this?

Xie Zhiqiu and Cheng Mo quarreled more and more fiercely.

Mu Xi wanted to slap the two men to death and shouted, "Shut up, both of you."

Xie Zhiqiu snorted at Cheng Mo in dissatisfaction.

Cheng Mo couldn't do anything and could only feel frustrated.

"Cheng Mo, go check that matter."

Mu Xi dismissed Cheng Mo with just one sentence.

Before Cheng Mo left, Xie Zhiqiu gave him a few punches.

Mu Xi rolled her eyes at Xie Zhiqiu and said, "You... also behave yourself."
