Chapter 258: Befriending the Peerless Master
Ever since he had these two concubines, Xiao Jingyi's backyard has never been peaceful.
Every night, he would spend time in a different room, while Liao was alone in the empty room. She was full of jealousy and resentment, but she could do nothing about it.
However, Xiao Jingyi never realized that he was being plotted against.
He thought he was just impulsive or under too much pressure. He never thought that he would be controlled by a small aphrodisiac and become a person who completely lost himself.
Of course, this is all later!
Early the next morning, just as the sun rose, Master Wushuang was already waiting for them in the yard.
After seeing the two people coming out, Master Wushuang went to greet them: "Master Xuemen, Master Anyue, good morning! You should wash up first, and then we will go to the dining hall to eat." After that, he said to the maid behind him: "Take you two to the washroom to wash up."
The maids responded in unison: "Yes, sir!" Then they took the two of them to the washroom.
Soon, the two finished washing up and followed Master Wushuang to the dining hall.
Master Wushuang smiled and said, "Master Xuemen, Master Anyue, the food in Jianghu is rather coarse. If the food is not to your taste, please let me know!"
Dark Moon Fairy glanced at the porridge, side dishes and several large meat buns on the table, and replied with a smile: "These are good enough, Master Wushuang, don't worry about it. We are all people in the martial arts world, and we are not very particular about food."
Young Master Wushuang nodded, and then said, "I know that you two are experts in the bounty business. This time I would like to ask you two to help wipe out the Poison Sect, and I hope you can offer a reasonable price."
Just as Dark Moon Fairy was about to speak, she suddenly felt a warm big hand holding her hand. It turned out to be Blood Shadow holding her hand under the table. Blood Shadow said seriously, "We don't need any reward to help Master Wushuang! We just want to make friends with Master Wushuang!"
When Dark Moon Fairy heard what Blood Shadow said, she immediately understood his intention. She immediately agreed, "That's right, upholding justice is the responsibility and obligation of every person in the martial arts world!" After saying that, she deliberately puffed out her chest, looking very righteous.
Upon seeing this, Master Wushuang hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted to express his gratitude: "Thank you both for your righteousness! On behalf of all the people in Zhongyi City, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you! If it weren't for your help, our chances of winning would have been much greater!" As he spoke, his eyes turned slightly red.
Xueying looked at Master Wushuang's excitement and said quickly, "Master Wushuang, please tell us in detail what this Poison Sect is all about?"
Master Wushuang took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then said in a low voice: "This Poison Sect suddenly appeared in Zhongyi City three months ago. As soon as they arrived, they began to challenge the major sects. These people are very good at using poison, and their methods are insidious and cunning, making it difficult to guard against them. Since they appeared, many of our sects and people in the martial arts world have suffered from their poisonous hands!"
At this point, Master Wushuang clenched his fists, with a flash of anger and unwillingness in his eyes. He continued, "What's even more abominable is that these people from the Poison Sect have no sense of justice at all. They will not hesitate to kill anyone they think can be used, whether it's an old man or a child. In a short period of time, many innocent people have been harmed, and some sects have even been wiped out!"
Hearing this, Xueying and the others also looked serious. They knew very well how terrible the poisoner was. If this problem could not be solved as soon as possible, it would bring a greater disaster to the entire Zhongyi City.
Master Wushuang paused and continued, "In order to fight against the Poison Cult, the major forces in our Zhongyi City have united, but each action has ended in failure. Those Poison Cult members are too cunning, and we can't find their traces at all. Moreover, because they are good at using poison, even if we find them, it is difficult to completely eliminate them."
After saying this, Master Wushuang sighed helplessly, with a hint of despair in his eyes. Facing such a powerful enemy, they seemed to have no other options. However, at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Dark Moon Fairy's mind...
Dark Moon Enchantress said solemnly: "Use poison? Isn't their leader a man wrapped in a black robe?" Her voice was low and serious, revealing a hint of vigilance and suspicion.
Young Master Wushuang nodded, a trace of anger and hatred flashed in his eyes, and responded: "It is this man! He is insidious and cunning, and his methods are extremely cruel. He also poisoned the wells in the city before, trying to poison everyone to death. Fortunately, our Wushuang Sect discovered and stopped his conspiracy in time. However, I didn't expect him to be so crazy. Not only did he not restrain himself, but he also killed all the disciples in our sect!"
Dark Moon Fairy sneered and said in a cold tone: "What a narrow road for enemies! This man is the infamous Ding Kun! Last time he was poisoned by my poison, I thought he would die, but I didn't expect him to escape to Youli Country and collude with the rebels of Youli Country! This time, we must not let him go, we must eradicate him completely!"
Her words were full of determination and murderous intent, as if she had made up her mind to avenge the dead Jianghu people. At the same time, her eyes flashed with a cold light, as if she was thinking about how to deal with this cunning enemy.
Seeing that Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy had agreed, Master Wushuang called the heads of the major sects in Zhongyi City to discuss how to destroy the Poison Sect! Dark Moon Fairy told everyone about Ding Kun's habits and weaknesses. After listening, the heads of the major sects nodded and decided to formulate a detailed plan to encircle and destroy the Poison Sect.
After Dark Moon Fairy and Blood Shadow returned to the room, Dark Moon Fairy asked, "Why did you change your mind so suddenly? Is there any reason?"
Upon hearing this, Xueying walked to the table, poured a cup of tea for Dark Moon Fairy and handed it to her.
Dark Moon Fairy took the teacup, took a sip, and looked at Blood Shadow, waiting for his answer.
Xueying said in a hoarse voice: "Last night Shang Lu learned that this Zhongyi City is not only populated by people from the Jianghu, but also by many retired veterans who have settled here. Most of these veterans are veterans of the Xiao Family Army, and Young Master Wushuang's father is also a general of the Xiao Family Army."
Xueying's voice was a little low: "I feel that I have an obligation to help those who fought alongside my father in the past. Moreover, I think that perhaps Master Wushuang's father may know some of the truth of that year."
Dark Moon Fairy frowned and asked, "The truth of that year? You mean... about your father?"
Bloodshadow nodded, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes.
Dark Moon Fairy patted his shoulder gently and consoled him, "If that's the case, let's help Master Wushuang get rid of the Poison Cult, and then go find his father to get to the bottom of it!"
Xueying sighed and said, "I know it's difficult to find witnesses from that year, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up."
Dark Moon Fairy's small hand covered Blood Shadow's big hand and comforted him softly: "I will always be with you until Xiao Jingyi is brought to justice!"
The two looked at each other and could see the determination in each other's eyes.
