Chapter 211
Chapter 211
Yue Zhengfeng, Yue Zhengliang, and Yue Zhengrong were also wearing mourning clothes and sitting with heavy expressions.
Yue Zhengrong recalled the man in black and the scene of Yue Zhengmin disappearing before his eyes. He couldn't help but think of the oath he made with the high priest of Taohua Valley many years ago, as if the oath was beginning to come true.
Le Zhengrong's hand holding the teacup shook involuntarily, and he was scalded by the tea before he came to his senses and put the cup down.
He glanced at the other two people, both of whom were his senior brothers. They had their eyes closed and there was no trace of emotion, just as calmly as when they negotiated terms with the high priest in the past.
Taking a closer look, his expression seemed a little heavier. Perhaps they felt the same as he did, Le Zhengrong thought.
However, he couldn't say a word like this, otherwise he would be scolded by the other party and might even be accused of being a coward.
He suddenly sighed in his heart, looked at his scalded hand, and after looking at it for a while, he seemed to see a withered and miserable hand, and he couldn't help but tremble.
Yes, he was very clear about the actual physical condition of several people. Although they were still alive, they no longer looked like human beings.
His lifespan kept increasing, and he seemed to have achieved immortality, but his body was also getting older. He was worried that one day his body would become rotten wood, but he would still be alive.
He glanced at the two people again and realized that they had already regretted it, but would not say it out loud because of face.
He originally wanted to live forever, without the need for the high priest's immortality, which forced her to provide him with better immortality pills. He actually spent nearly ten years without the need for the high priest's pills.
Just when they were happy that they had finally obtained complete immortality, their bodies began to age rapidly, so that they had to use magic to disguise themselves.
When they wanted to resent the high priest's deception, they couldn't help but think of their own demands on her, and Su Mu's words: "This medicine has never been put into practical use, and no one can guarantee how effective it is."
They were so overwhelmed with excitement that they ignored Su Mu's final warning and thought the pill was complete when they saw that their bodies were younger and lighter than before.
Thinking of this, Yue Zhengrong felt that the pill was actually real, and everything now was just a punishment for breaking their oath.
A pool of blood appeared before his eyes, and wherever he looked, he saw the corpses of the people of Taohua Valley.
They just wanted to get rid of the threat and get away from Taohua Valley so they released the news, but they didn't expect that Tuoba's methods would be so cruel.
Taohua Valley no longer exists, and all the valley residents are dead. Their secret was finally preserved in this way.
Le Zhengrong covered his face, widened his eyes, and began to deny their unintentional mistake in his heart.
"In fact, what we want is for Peach Blossom Valley to disappear. It's not an unintentional mistake. The result of all this is what we want."
Le Zhengrong was almost controlled by his inner demons, but fortunately the little boy informed him in time, so he quickly adjusted his mood and put on a superior attitude.
Mu Xin and others were invited in. They followed Mu Xin to pay their respects to the elders and introduced themselves to them.
Le Ying was a little nervous. From the moment she stepped outside the door, she had been thinking about whether she could bow down to her enemy. As a result, the image of Yin Li lecturing her for being immature appeared in her mind, as well as the image of Miss Shi II tapping her on the head.
Le Ying was stunned, and then she began to say her name in panic, like a stage-frightened little girl.
Her accidental appearance was the best answer she could give. Mu Xin took the opportunity to criticize her and quickly apologized to the three elders, saying that she had no way of commanding her subordinates.
The three elders took a good look at them. Except for Yun Xiu, the magic fields of the others were really nothing. Even Mu Xin was weak, which could be seen at a glance. They could basically be ruled out as suspects.
However, Le Zhengfeng felt that if the opponent's magical power was greater than his, it would be normal for them not to notice it. But then he thought again, they were all under Le Zheng's barrier and had been standing beside many Le Zheng Taoists for a long time. If they were really demons, they would have revealed some clues.
I think it’s definitely not any of them, unless Mu Xin has a few hidden helpers who are not presentable.
"Since Miss Mu has married into our Lezheng family, we should have arranged for someone to serve her long ago. Please forgive those juniors for their inconsiderateness. How about we take advantage of today to select a few people to serve you in Fangyuan?"
"Is it obvious that you are monitoring me?" Mu Xin bowed and declined Le Zhengfeng's kindness, saying, "Thank you for your care, Elder.
However, Le Zheng has never had such a rule. Mu Xin couldn't persuade her father and mother and didn't want them to worry, so she had to accept these newly recruited little maids. How could she dare to ask for more?
Mu Xin knew that the elder was worried about her and cared about her, so she thanked him again. But she couldn't accept it, so she declined the elder's kindness.
"In that case, let's do this for now. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can tell the elders. You are now our Le Zheng's daughter-in-law."
"Yes, Mu Xin will remember this."
"You are tired too, go back and rest early."
"Mu Xin takes her leave."
Mu Xin and the others all left, and Le Zhengrong couldn't help but hurried over to ask Le Zhengfeng.
"Brother, you originally wanted to arrange someone to monitor them, right? Why did you give up?"
Le Zhengliang raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, saying: "Junior brother, how can you expect me to persist after what she said just now?
Accepting the people recruited by Mr. Mu and Mrs. Mu is filial piety, and we have nothing to say.
Le Zheng really didn't have this rule, and she did have five people taking care of her. If Senior Brother still insisted, where would she be? What would outsiders say about her if they knew about it? Aren't all these consequences caused by Senior Brother's insistence?
Even if the senior brother used his status as an elder to suppress gossip, what would they think of this insistence? The people sent were the ones who monitored them.
What do others think? Is it only Mu Xin who has such honor and favor? If he marries a new wife from another family in the future, there is no guarantee that they will not seize this matter and make a big fuss about it. In the end, it will still be Senior Brother's fault."
"I didn't think it through."
"The few people she reported bringing in are all here, right?"
"Brother, according to the registration she reported, there is still one person missing, but this person is the daughter of the Ge family, Ge Qinglian. She got in with the dowry. After Mu Xin found out, she quickly explained the situation to the inner courtyard. Now, Ge Qinglian should have entered the Black Forest with Le Zheng Yuhua and others."
After hearing what Le Zhengliang said, Le Zhengfeng was visibly stunned.
"Young lady of the Ge family? What is Le Zheng Qin doing? Not only did he let a few brats plot against the master and enter the Black Forest alone, but he also let Young Lady of the Ge family get involved? Did he think that those outside families of the Dao League had no reason to blame our Le Zheng, so he deliberately picked an opportunity to give them an opportunity?"
"Yes, if the Ge family knew that Miss Ge had entered the Black Forest, they would really want to cause trouble for us. But no matter whether she was voluntary or forced, they would be fine as long as she was not here."
They all understood what Le Zhengrong said, but they had already entered the Black Forest, and they knew exactly what kind of place the Black Forest was.
"I don't care what method he uses to conceal this matter. He just needs to keep it a secret for as long as he can. In addition, we have to find a way. As long as there are other witnesses to prove that Miss Ge has left the area under my jurisdiction, then the most that can happen is that we will be blamed for not sending her back to the Ge family safely. This is better than what we have now."
"It's hard to say whether this is difficult or not. Ordinary witnesses may not be able to convince the public, and we can't find a Taoist who is too powerful. If this is discovered, it will be difficult to hide it."
"Yes. Junior Brother Liang, you are very concerned about this matter."
"Brother, please rest assured. At worst, I can come in person."
"That would be best."
