Chapter 481: Shocked and Shocked Again
Zhu Jiu felt a little heavy.
Reality is never as good as we expect and will never go in the direction we expect.
"In fact, no matter which of Shuai Guo's assumptions is true, he knows that I am Zhu Jiu."
Xingjun was a little confused and subconsciously asked, "Why?"
Zhu Jiu said in a deep voice: "He is Meng Huwan's man. He approached me most likely because of her order. However, it is out of her control when I will arrive in Jiuqu Shuozhou and what appearance I will show up in. She cannot predict it."
"The only flaw is the waxing moon."
"Yue Shangxian is a lonely person who doesn't like to interact with others. The only thing he cares about is the Yue family. The only thing he can bring back after traveling thousands of miles is the one who escaped the extermination of the family, Yue Shangshuang."
"Yue Shangshuang is Zhu Jiu, who caused the Canglan tragedy. If this matter is so uncommon that only a few people know about it, then it must include Yue Shangxian, Yue Shangxian's savior, and the murderer."
Yue Shangxian told her that Yue Shangshuang lived a reclusive life and was extremely low-key due to her physique. She never appeared in public. Only people from the Yue clan knew what she looked like, but they were all dead.
After Yue Shangxian was rescued, he was worried that his sister's physical condition would be exposed and she would die, or that she would be found by the murderer first, so he never revealed any information about Yue Shangshuang.
So even though Zhu Jiu showed up in the Demon King's Palace, no one figured out her identity for seven days.
When Yue Shangxian heard about the Canglan tragedy, he didn't know that it was Zhu Jiu inside his sister's body. Out of selfishness, he didn't want his sister to be caught, so he didn't say it out loud.
He only told Lou Yeyu that his sister was still alive.
Zhu Jiu looked serious and continued, "Meng Huwan noticed my presence so quickly. She must be well aware of the movements of the Moon. Why do you think she cares so much about the Moon?"
After listening to Zhu Jiu's analysis, Xing Jun's thoughts became clearer. He quickly discovered the hidden meaning of Zhu Jiu's words and asked in surprise, "You mean to say that Meng Huwan is the murderer who destroyed the Yue clan?"
Zhu Jiu smiled mysteriously and strangely, "You can open up your thoughts a little more."
Xingjun was stunned for a moment, thinking of the three people who knew about Yue Shangshuang that Zhu Jiu had just mentioned...
He exclaimed in disbelief, "Don't tell me Meng Huwan is Lou Yeyu!"
Although he was extremely shocked when he said it, when he thought about the fact that talking in sleep could change one's appearance, Xingjun found it very reasonable!
In addition, Lou Yeyu has rarely made public appearances in recent years, always appearing briefly and then disappearing quickly, which has led to rumors that he is missing.
Could it be that Lou Yeyu really disappeared, and it has been Meng Huwan pretending to be him all along?
Zhu Jiu smiled sinisterly, his teeth looking extremely pale, "Let's go deeper."
Xingjun was already terrified. If this was consistent with the suspicions that Zhu Jiu had been holding, then...
"Meng Huwan is Lou Yeyu. If Lou Yeyu is the murderer who destroyed the Yue clan, then... Meng Huwan is the murderer?"
"!!!" Xingjun kept silent for himself.
Shocked.
Zhu Jiu stretched out his legs and swayed, his eyes were dark and his voice was calm.
"I still haven't found any clues pointing to Lou Yeyu being the murderer."
That's her guess.
Therefore, it became unfounded to suggest that Meng Huwan was the murderer.
This results in a series of inferences losing a key clue.
Xingjun digested it for a while, then said: "Why not speculate the other way around? Why did Lou Yeyu... or Meng Huwan want to destroy the Yue clan?"
Zhu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "I have thought about this question many times. Vengeance has been ruled out by Moon Shangxian, so the goal is treasure. The only treasure of the Yue clan that can be noticed by those who possess the Cinder Night Strange Fire is the physique of the Yue clan brothers and sisters."
"But if that's the case, why would she let the waxing moon go?"
Xingjun combined Zhu Jiu's inference with his extremely quick thinking and quickly came to the conclusion: "Of course it is to lure out Yue Shangshuang, that is, you!"
"The murderer's picture was not of a waxing moon, but of a frost-covered moon!"
Zhu Jiu smiled slowly.
When Zhu Jiu was discussing this matter with Xing Jun, he received a message from Ling Yuanlong.
Ling Yuanlong: Are you comfortable using your identity?
Humph, you just want to borrow my name, but you want benefits so soon. Ling Yuanlong is so stingy!
Zhu Jiu: Not bad.
Ling Yuanlong chuckled and said: What benefits do I get?
Zhu Jiu thought for a moment and decided: How many times should I whip you next time we meet?
She remembered that the last time she pinched Ling Yuanlong's neck, he felt quite good.
Ling Yuanlong: ...
Zhu Jiu: What’s wrong? Don’t you like your sister’s whip after not seeing you for a few days?
Ling Yuanlong: ...I like it.
Zhu Jiu said "tsk". You are so boring like this. I still like your rebellious side.
Ling Yuanlong was silent for a moment, then chose to get straight to the point: I heard that my sister had obtained a photo stone, and used the identity of Ji Ling's envoy Zhen Youqian to establish close ties with the people from Jue Ya, the Holy Land of Astrology, and the Demon Sect, and they visited the Demon Hunting Guild together.
Zhu Jiu: Do not believe in rumors or spread them. Seeing is believing, hearing is false. Listening to both sides will lead to enlightenment, while believing in only one side will lead to ignorance. Humility makes people progress, while pride makes people fall behind.
Ling Yuanlong: ...
She pinched her palm with her fingers, wondering, it was clearly the other party who was using her identity, so why was she the one who felt aggrieved?
She decided to ask Tai Nu Gang: I just snatched a spiritual mine from my brother recently. Are you interested, sister?
Zhu Jiu: Give it to me?
This woman is so shameless that it's chilling.
Ling Yuanlong: There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world. If you are willing to help me in Jiuqu Shuozhou, not only will I get the spiritual mine, but I will also give me the position of empress...
Zhu Jiu hung up the message, looking puzzled.
Ling Yuanlong is really crazy. He actually thinks that the emperor and empress are more important than the spiritual mine.
This person has cognitive impairment and cannot be talked to too much, as it will be contagious.
Anyway, Zhu Jiu still holds the evidence that Ling Yuanlong killed the Emperor, so she would not risk backstabbing Zhu Jiu during her fight for the throne.
Just after driving away a princess, another message came.
Lily: Guess where I am?
Zhu Jiu:?
Lily: In your heart?
Zhu Jiu: ...Are you busy? If not, I'll hang up. I'm busy.
Damn, this woman still has such a bad temper. Why is she so gentle to Feng Zhiyi and Cangjie and never says harsh words to them?
Oh, forgetting friends for the sake of beauty and favoring boys over girls. If she became a man, Zhu Jiu would never be like this!
Lily complained in her heart but said without hesitation: I just arrived in Jiuqu Shuozhou!
Zhu Jiu's eyelids jumped. She didn't tell Baihe where she was.
Just as I was about to say a few words, I heard her say mysteriously: Sister Zhu Jiu, don't try to lie to me, I know you must be here.
Zhu Jiu was a little curious: Why do you say that?
Lily's voice sounded a little proud: Because I have discovered a pattern. Where you appear, a major event must have happened, a lot of people gathered, and then a tragedy suddenly broke out.
Lily lowered her voice and was very serious, as if the two of them were meeting in the underworld: Sister Zhu Jiu, who are you going to kill this time?
Zhu Jiu was speechless: ...I am not a murderer.
Lily was immersed in her own thoughts and said to herself: According to the previous rules, we have to kill Lou Yeyu this time, right?
Zhu Jiu: ...
Don't tell me, it's really possible.
But she wouldn't admit it.
Zhu Jiu said impatiently: What a mess! I'm recuperating somewhere else. Don't look for me if you have nothing to do. I'm busy.
After saying this, he cruelly cut off the message.
On the other side, Lily put away the hidden communication talisman as usual.
She turned to the beautiful corpse-herding lady she met on the road and said, "My sister is quite busy and doesn't communicate with me often. She always ends the communication after a few words. But I understand. A cultivator's cultivation is always time-consuming and every second counts."
As she spoke, she stared at the woman's cold, sharp and beautiful face. Perhaps because she didn't get much sun, her skin was snow-white and her temperament was decadent.
Lily couldn't understand how there could be such a beautiful person in the world.
Her name was Gu Yixiao, whom Lily met on the road a day ago.
At that time, Lily encountered a group of robbers. She was originally planning to rob the robbers, but Gu Yixiao suddenly controlled her "father" and "mother" to kill them all. The two became acquainted from then on.
Lily had heard of Gu Yixiao's name, the man who helped the old emperor collect the corpse. He must have received a lot of rewards from the princess.
With the intention of borrowing some spirit stones from her benefactor, Lily quickly became attached to her and pretended to be a lonely 13-year-old girl who practiced Buddhism and sat on her spirit weapon.
Although Gu Yixiao looked like a man who didn't like to talk and kept people at a distance, he was actually a gentle person who was very easy to get along with. He never played tricks on her and that made her plans disappointed.
——She often talks to the two corpses behind her, which feels creepy.
After hearing what Lily said, Gu Yixiao also thought of his friend Zhu Jiu.
They haven't seen each other since they parted a few days ago. During this time, she left Jiling and went to the Qiankun Temple. The people in the sect really hated and despised her.
Gu Yixiao originally just wanted to take her parents to her hometown to see the place where they used to live. The great elder agreed, but who knew that those disciples would come to provoke her one after another.
He cursed her, her father and her mother as all despicable people, and Mu Shi as a person of the lowest class.
Gu Yixiao had a dull personality and didn't fight or compete with anyone, so of course he couldn't win over these people, so he had to swallow his anger and beat them up.
She didn't know how many people she fought, but in the end she tied with the sect leader. Those people were so angry that they wanted to punish her, but the great elder refuted them, saying that they were useless. If they believed that sword and magic were the most important, why couldn't they beat others in a round-robin battle?
After a heated debate, the two sides finally sent Gu Yixiao and the chief disciple to deal with the affairs of Jiuqu Shuozhou.
Before leaving, the elder looked at his granddaughter Gu Yixiao expectantly and sadly: "Child, as long as you follow the instructions and don't make any mistakes on this trip, grandpa will be able to clear your name and your parents' names when you come back!"
In fact, it is just to improve the resume.
The Great Elder exiled his own son and daughter-in-law with his own hands. He didn't even see them for the last time before they died. How could he not feel resentment and regret?
The appearance of Gu Yixiao revived his heart, which had been silent for a hundred years, and the other party was still young and promising.
The opportunity is right in front of them. This time, the Great Elder will fight against the sect and take back everything that belongs to Gu Yixiao!
Gu Yixiao has been busy fighting and raising corpses recently and has not had time to contact Zhu Jiu. After hearing what Lily said, he said he would send a message to his friend.
She didn't avoid Lily either. Although the latter didn't know who was on the other side or what the two were talking about, she was observing her the whole time.
Then she saw for the first time Gu Yixiao's gentle smile, bright eyes, and unparalleled beauty.
Lily was stunned for a moment, and then felt jealous.
Damn it, if she had a face like this, she would have charmed Sister Zhu Jiu to death.
She found that the two of them had been talking for a long time, so long that the buildings of Jiuqu Shuozhou appeared vaguely in their field of vision.
Lily thought with a sinister intention: What's the point of chatting for a long time? Although Sister Zhu Jiu is quiet, she is very skilled in killing people and is very majestic. Can Gu Yixiao's friend compare to her? Tsk.
After the two finished talking, Lily discovered that it was Gu Yixiao who deleted the message.
It's so funny. Who is the good person to hang up on others first? She never treats Sister Zhu Jiu like this.
Lily was thinking two thousand words in her mind, but her face looked the same as usual, like a well-behaved little girl.
"Sister Gu is probably one of those people who has very few friends."
Gu Yixiao's eyes flickered: "Yeah."
Lily wanted to break through the other party's psychological defenses and get close to him to deceive him, no, to borrow the spirit stone, so she said, "I am the same. I lost my family when I was young. I am all alone and only my sister helps me."
"He guides me in my cultivation and helps me on a daily basis."
Gu Yixiao could relate to this because that was how her life used to be.
So he said a few more words in a rare soft voice, "My friend is called Epiphyllum. She is both a teacher and a friend to me. She is strong and reliable, gentle and patient, and can always see through what is in my heart."
"She also gave me the exercises and guided me in my cultivation. She also let me speak freely during each communication and helped me resolve my confusions in cultivation."
"I often wonder how there are such selfless and kind people in this world."
It was also because of Zhu Jiu’s previous guidance that she was able to make rapid progress in a short period of time and defeat those disciples of the Qiankun Temple.
lily:"……"
Are you talking about a real person? You can't just make it up. You can fool her but don't fool yourself.
However, thinking about the fact that the communication just lasted for such a long time, the smile on the other party's face could not be fake at all, which shows that the person on the other side might really be such a person.
Lily sneered three times in her heart, trying to save herself from the fall: So what? Sister Zhu Jiu is so strong that she can destroy the world. How can that broken Epiphyllum compare to her?
Facts have proved that only powerful people are busy; of course the minions have the time to talk so long.
Haha, Epiphyllum, what a strange name. It will definitely have a shorter life than Epiphyllum!
Lily was vicious on the inside, but she held her face in her hands with sweet words, her eyes full of longing and surprise: "Wow, Sister Gu must be very happy to have such a friend, right?"
"Yeah." Gu Yixiao pursed her lips and smiled.
Lily looked lost, "Unlike me, my sister is busy practicing all day and can't take care of me. I wish she had half the time of sister Tanhua."
Lily’s age is exactly the same as when Gu Yixiao lost her mother and father.
This is also one of the reasons why she feels inexplicable sympathy for Lily.
"It's okay. If anyone bullies you in Jiuqu Shuozhou, you can inform me." Gu Yixiao touched her head with a somewhat stiff movement.
"You can come with me if you want."
The numerous achievements in the past few days have transformed her, increased her confidence, and strengthened her determination.
Gu Yixiao came here on behalf of the Qiankun Temple this time. If she wanted to protect someone, it would not be difficult.
Lily felt the other person's sincerity and the gentleness beneath his coldness. She was stunned for a moment and felt a little complicated.
Among all the monks she had come into contact with, this man was the easiest to deceive.
"Really? Thank you, Sister Gu." Lily thanked him softly, and then asked in confusion, "Why are you so nice to me?"
Gu Yixiao's expression wandered for a moment, and he said, "Because your name is Lily, which is very similar to Epiphyllum."
That's how Zhu Jiu treated her.
