Chapter 134 Jiang Sihan, you are so ruthless
"Since you didn't do it, you should work with me to find the murderer. Otherwise, who else in the entire Xuanyu Sect besides you can cast an illusion on a sword cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage?"
In fact, although Lin Xuxi said this, she knew that it was not Jiang Sihan who did it.
If it was really Jiang Sihan, then it couldn't have been just a moment. Jiang Sihan and Senior Brother Rong were both in the Nascent Soul stage, and with the added power of the Merciless Dao, Jiang Sihan's cultivation should have surpassed Senior Brother Rong's.
Perhaps it was a disciple who did it, but if she wanted to find the murderer, she would need Jiang Sihan's help. She was no longer Fushan's real person, so it was not appropriate for her to interfere in their family affairs.
"Impossible! Fushan's disciples would not do such things!" Jiang Sihan waved his sleeves and turned sideways to face Lin Xuxi.
After saying this, he thought about Shouzheng’s previous visit. Could it really be because of this?
"If you don't help me, then I will tell the Sect Master directly that it was you who cast an illusion on Senior Brother Rong. Only you have the ability to cast an illusion on Senior Brother Rong, a sword cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. If I tell this to the Sect Master, do you think he won't be suspicious?" Lin Xuxi looked at Jiang Sihan's suddenly changed expression.
Sometimes she really didn't know whether Jiang Sihan was practicing the way of ruthlessness or the way of selfishness. She would stay out of things that did not concern her, and would only intervene if he was really involved.
She used to think that the Dao was ruthless, that the world was unkind and treated all things as straw dogs, but now it seemed that it was not the case. At least Jiang Sihan did not seem to be like that.
"Either you and I find out the truth together, or I will conclude that you are the one who did it. It's your choice." Lin Xuxi was too lazy to talk nonsense and threw out two options for him to choose.
"stop!"
Jiang Sihan couldn't stand this slander and said in a deep voice: "Let's investigate together!" Why can you frame me with just one sentence?
"it is good."
Having agreed to investigate together, Jiang Sihan led his men back to his own courtyard. Ever since he began practicing the ruthless way, he had been living in this small courtyard planted with maple leaves.
It’s just that Xuanyu Sect has abundant spiritual energy, and the maple trees are evergreen all year round and never turn yellow.
Lin Xuxi rarely came to this place. Suddenly she stopped under the maple tree and looked up at the lush green canopy. She felt a little curious and asked, "Why don't you plant albizzia trees?"
"I don't like julibrissin flowers." Jiang Sihan turned around, glanced at Lin Xuxi who was standing under the tree, and asked curiously, "What are you standing there for?"
Lin Xuxi bent down, picked up a maple leaf, hid it in her sleeve, shook her head and said, "Nothing." She followed him in.
The two of them went in and the door closed.
"What do you think Master and his wife are doing in there?"
"I don't know."
A few curious people followed, wanting to see what would happen. When they saw the two of them go in together, they were more delighted than if they had drawn a red talisman.
"Perhaps, Master and Mistress have broken their bond!"
"That's great!"
After closing the door, Jiang Sihan asked the person to sit down before asking, "What's the matter?"
"Rong Xin is dead, aren't you sad at all?" Lin Xuxi was a little confused. Seeing Jiang Sihan's indifferent expression, he didn't care at all that someone died in Fushan.
Perhaps, after learning about Rong Xin's plan, he would even dislike this person for being nosy.
"Sad?" Jiang Sihan scoffed, looking at Lin Xuxi as if she were a fool, and sneered, "A Nascent Soul Stage cultivator being killed by a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator is ridiculous. Since we've known each other for so many years, I'm already being kind enough by not laughing out loud."
Lin Xuxi played with the maple leaf in her hand and asked with a smile, "So, you're not sad yet, but you're laughing when you think about the cause of her death?"
"I guess so." Jiang Sihan did not refute.
"You know about the Black Thunder Pagoda. Master gave it to Senior Brother Rong to train the Wall-Breaking Sword first. However, the Wall-Breaking Sword became infected with a demonic seed while in the Black Thunder Pagoda. Senior Brother Rong was caught off guard and was invaded by the demonic energy. Now he's in the Black Thunder Pagoda to eliminate the demonic energy. He told me that the demonic seed wasn't something to be feared, but he was transported to another place in a trance. Although it was only for a few moments, the demonic energy still succeeded."
Lin Xuxi gave a brief account of what happened and looked up at Jiang Sihan who was sitting opposite her.
For some reason, she recalled Senior Brother Rong's words. Jiang Sihan must have always been like this, but she just hadn't noticed it before. It was either her own fault or Jiang Sihan's acting skills.
"Since it only lasted for a few moments, it shouldn't be a purple talisman. It must be at least a red one. Among the yellow, red and purple, only the purple talisman can completely affect a sword cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage." Jiang Sihan was the first to try to clear himself of suspicion.
Yellow talismans are for the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage; red talismans are for the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Golden Core Stage; purple talismans are for the Nascent Soul Stage, while the Spirit Transformation Stage does not require talisman paper or cinnabar, relying solely on spiritual power.
"So, it should be the work of a disciple." Jiang Sihan narrowed the scope again and continued: "Apart from the Foundation Establishment Stage of the Inner Sect, the only ones who can draw the red talisman are the direct disciples, those in the Golden Core Stage."
There are only a few people who can draw red talismans. If they are caught and tortured, and if that doesn't work, they can just search their memories.
"I thought so too."
But Lin Xuxi couldn't figure out who had the courage to do this and what the motive was.
"Since it's not the purple talisman, it has nothing to do with me." After Jiang Sihan cleared his suspicion, he didn't plan to investigate further. What was there to investigate?
"How is it none of your business? Can't you draw the red talisman or something?" Lin Xuxi was almost amused by Jiang Sihan's anger. This man was really heartless. She asked, "Brother Rong was ambushed, aren't you angry?"
"What's there to be angry about?"
Jiang Sihan thought about the secret method he practiced secretly. That secret method was similar to forcing growth, which would forcibly suppress his emotions. Once there were no emotional fluctuations, his cultivation would naturally improve.
But it also has flaws. If his emotions fluctuate too much or he gets emotional again, he will be harmed and lose all his cultivation and become a useless person.
Therefore, he is now extra careful.
"Only by finding out who it is can you be cleared of all charges. Otherwise, this happened in your Fushan. Do you think you can escape punishment?" Lin Xuxi stood up and asked with a smile, "The disciplinary academy won't let you off the hook just because you're Master Jiang. The disciple you brought in harmed Senior Brother Rong. If Master gets angry, can you deny any responsibility?"
"The best thing now is for you to find out who harmed Senior Brother Rong, take your disciples with you to apologize, and seek forgiveness from Master and Senior Brother Rong. That would be the best thing."
Lin Xuxi looked at the unmoved Jiang Sihan and sighed, "It's the father's fault for not educating his child well, but you, as a master, are not fulfilling your responsibilities at all."
"Lin Xuxi, who do you think you are? Whether I fulfill my responsibilities or not has nothing to do with you. Don't you want to terminate the contract with me? If you terminate the contract, you shouldn't interfere in Fushan's affairs." Jiang Sihan stood up, waved his sleeves, and walked to the side with his back to her.
He couldn't look at Lin Xuxi's face now, as his heart would be unable to control itself if he saw her.
"That's true, but Senior Brother Rong is my senior brother. I'm not the master's wife of a Fushan disciple, but I'm still the sect master's disciple and Senior Brother Rong's younger sister. Shouldn't I be in charge?"
Lin Xuxi stood up and asked, "Jiang Sihan, I'm here to solve the problem, not to get angry with you. Either you call a few people over now and find out who murdered Senior Brother Rong, or I'll go to the Sect Master right now and say it was done by the Fushan disciples, and you can't escape responsibility either."
