Ch225 - Turning Danger into Safety

Edited by Zaki

Sitting across the table, looking at Liu Mufeng, who had not been the least bit flustered and nervous, and had always been so calm and composed, Elder Cao frowned. Although he had not yet gone to investigate, he also felt that this matter seemed to have nothing to do with Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu. Otherwise, they could not have acted so calmly like they were now.

“Junior Brother Liu, there may be some misunderstanding in this matter, so I will investigate in detail after I go back. If there is any offense to the two Junior Brothers, please bear with me.” Cao Yue said with a smile.

Jiang Xu snorted coldly.

“Senior Sister Cao, I can very much understand your pain as the Eldest Sister who lost her brother. But, I don’t think this matter is a misunderstanding.” Even if the Cao family was willing to let it go, he, Liu Mufeng, would not agree.

“Junior Brother Liu, this…” Hearing this, Cao Yue was a little embarrassed.

“Senior Sister Cao, don’t get me wrong. I’m not talking about Elder Cao, nor the two Senior Sisters Cao. I’m talking about the person who is trying to get rid of me, Liu Mufeng, and wants to kill me with your knife. To put it bluntly, the Cao family and I are both victims here. That person wanted to get rid of me, but he didn’t want to do it himself, so he told you the story, hoping for me to be killed in the hands of the Cao family. This person’s intentions are so sinister, it is definitely not a misunderstanding. Imagine if I, Liu Mufeng, and my partner Jiang Xu died today at the hands of Elder Cao, then what would be the situation of Elder Cao? To put it bluntly, this is a ploy to kill two birds with one stone, to get rid of me andXiaoXu as well as Elder Cao and the Cao family, and the other side will just reap the benefits.” Liu Mufeng sneered as he said this.

Elder Cao’s face immediately distorted. At this moment, he also felt that he was being tricked. Thinking that he, a majestic Elder of the Spirit Beast Peak, was being played around by a brat, Elder Cao was very upset.

“This…” After hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, the faces of the Cao family Sisters were also extremely unsightly.

“This matter is actually very simple. My enemy told the Cao family about our relationship with the Lin family. He wanted to use the Cao family to get rid of me and my partner, and then use the Sect Master’s hand to get rid of the Cao family. Few people will know that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, and no one would know that he participated in this matter. He would still be able to live smoothly in the sect, while Elder Cao will be the knife in his hand, as well as a scapegoat for him, taking the blame for killing me and my partner. To put it bluntly, if I, Liu Mufeng, walked out of Pill Peak tomorrow and was slaughtered by other people, maybe this blame would fall on your head, Elder Cao.” Liu Mufeng smiled wryly.

“Abomination, abomination!” Hearing Liu Mu Feng’s words, Elder Cao was furious. He felt that he really was a fool to be led around by others.

“Who is it? Who said that Lin Ran isXiaoXu’s cousin, who is fanning the flames and sowing discord?” Xuanyuan Chen asked.

“This…” Frowning, Elder Cao glanced at the Third Elder.

“Zhang Hao.” Liu Mufeng spat out the name directly.

“Among the sect disciples, he is the one who hates me the most.” Having said that, Liu Mufeng’s expression turned cold. He thought to himself:Zhang Hao, you are cruel enough.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen rolled his eyes angrily. “Aiya, I say Elder Cao, what do you want me to say about you? You are also an old man in the sect. How can you be led by a yellow-mouthed child by the nose?”

“What the Sect Master said is very true. I still couldn’t let go of my Son’s death, that’s why I was led around by that Zhang Hao.” Elder Cao was so angry that his teeth itched with hatred, and thought to himself:This Zhang Hao is really insidious. Ah, this is clearly to borrow a knife to kill someone. He had come here to look for Liu Mufeng and his wife so foolishly, but luckily he came. Wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing if he didn’t come and had killed the person directly, only to find out afterwards that Zhang Hao had plotted against him, and the one killed was not an enemy at all?

“Hei, you can be forgiven for this matter. I know, you feel bad after losing Nephew Cao.” At this point, the Sect Master sighed softly.

Looking at the Third Elder who was so angry that his entire face had turned green, Xuanyuan Chen shook his head helplessly. “You are just soft-hearted. Back then, I told you that this brat was too bold and he should be severely punished if he dared to play tricks in the sect competition, but you insisted on giving him another chance. How did it end now?”

At the rebuke, the Third Elder’s face became even more ugly. “You are right, Zhang Hao’s behavior is very bad, and he should be severely punished.”

“Elder Cao, Mufeng,XiaoXu, I will let the Law Enforcement Hall handle this matter, and I will definitely not let you suffer an injustice, and I will definitely not let Elder Cao be tricked for no reason.” At this point, a cold light flashed in Xuanyuan Chen’s eyes.

“Thank you Sect Master.” Standing up, everyone immediately thanked him.

“You don’t need to be too polite, Elder Cao, take your two Daughters back. If you still have any doubts in your heart, you can ask other disciples from Lingwu Continent. After a while, I will let Yunfei go to the outer door and send all the disciples from the Lingwu Continent to the Spirit Beast Peak. You should understand the situation carefully. We shouldn’t just rely on Liu Mufeng’s one-sided words. We can investigate first and settle this matter properly. In this way, you can also understand the situation clearly, so you won’t be deceived or fooled by others in the future.” Xuanyuan Chen said as such.

“Yes Sect Master, thank you Sect Master, this subordinate will take leave now.” In response, Elder Cao left contentedly with his two Daughters.

Looking at his apprentice, the Third Elder sighed softly. “Mufeng, it’s Master’s fault, Master shouldn’t have thought of old feelings to appease that traitor.”

“No, how can I blame Master for this matter?”

“That bastard Zhang Hao, I really want to kill him.” Jiang Xu gritted his teeth, his eyes full of murderous intent.

“You don’t need to go, the Law Enforcement Hall and Elder Cao will take care of it. You are still needed here, come and practice sword with me.” Saying that, Xuanyuan Chen stood up.

“I’m not going with Master, I’m not in the mood to practice swords. I want to go back to have dinner with Mufeng.” Shaking his head, Jiang Xu refused.

“Eat, eat, eat, all you know is how to eat. Tell me about you, you are in the Spiritual Emperor Realm, and you are still eating? You should only take Fasting Pills.” Xuanyuan Chen said seriously.

“I, I have Fasting Pills. Every time I retreat, I take Fasting Pills.”

Xuanyuan Chen rolled his eyes at that and responded, “I am telling you to fast all the time!”

“Usually, I also have Fasting Pills. When Mufeng goes into seclusion, and when Mufeng is busy refining pills, I always take Fasting Pills.” Jiang Xu replied seriously to his Master.

The Third Elder and Shen Xin couldn’t help laughing at the response.

“You’re not really fasting. It’s just that you have no one to cook for you, so you can only eat Fasting Pills.” Xuanyuan Chen said angrily, glaring at Jiang Xu.

“Oh, it’s all the same. I didn’t eat anything anyway, and I can only eat Fasting Pills when I’m hungry.” Jiang Xu felt very wronged.

“Sect Master, Master, Mistress, I promisedXiaoXu to cook grilled fish for him. Do you three want to eat grilled fish together?” Looking at the three of them, Liu Mufeng invited them with a smile.

“I, I want to eat.” Shen Xin smiled sheepishly.

“En, let’s go back and change clothes, and we’ll go to your yard later.” After glancing at his wife, the Third Elder took her away.

“Yes.” Responding, Liu Mufeng turned his head to look at Xuanyuan Chen. “Sect Master,XiaoXu and I are leaving first.”

“Ah, go ahead, grill two more fish, I’ll come too.”

“Master, you’ve already reached the Spiritual Sacred Realm, you should be only taking Fasting Pills.” Looking at his Master, Jiang Xu said righteously.

“Brat! You want to eat food but not give anything to your Master? I have loved you for nothing, right?” Xuanyuan Chen said angrily, staring at his apprentice.

“Okay, don’t blow your beard and stare at every turn, you go back and tear off your human skin mask, Mufeng and I will grill fish, and I will save the biggest one for you.” Jiang Xu pulled Liu Mufeng sleeves left together.

“En, that’s more like it!” Looking at the husband and wife duo who left together, Xuanyuan Chen smiled.

Back in their own courtyard, Liu Mufeng took out the cooking utensils and started preparing lunch.

“Mufeng, do you think Elder Cao will really suspect us?” Jiang Xu used a voice transmission to speak to his man.

“Not for now, but we won’t know in the future.” This matter was indeed a bit of a headache.

“Damn Zhang Hao, I really want to cut him into pieces.” Originally, it was impossible for Elder Cao to notice them, but after Zhang Hao made such a mess, it would be difficult for Elder Cao not to notice them.

“Don’t be fooled. We have our Masters backing us. Elder Cao can’t bring us down without hard evidence. It’s impossible for our Masters to believe this just based on a guess. Elder Cao is far more shrewd than Elder Ma. He came here today to test us. Why did he want to test? In the final analysis, it is because he had no evidence in his hand. Because there is no evidence, he can only test us. He does not dare to make too many moves. He is afraid of offending your Master. And even more afraid of losing his position as an Elder.”

“En, it makes sense.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.

“Okay, don’t look preoccupied, your Master will notice you like this.” Raising his hand, Liu Mufeng smiled and rubbed his lover’s hair.

“En.” Nodding, Jiang Xu showed a faint smile.
