Chapter 550 More than One Person
One month later.
The afternoon sun shines through the delicate window lattice and falls on Jing Feiyao's body in patches. Her graceful figure is covered with a layer of golden light.
Sitting on the couch, Jing Feiyao is half-lying lazily, frowning slightly, as if something is bothering her.
A few feet in front of her, there is a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, meditating and practicing.
The boy's name is Xing Qiwen, the third son of Jing Feiyao and Xing Gaohan.
Xing Qiwen's talent for practice is good, but his character is slightly worse. He started practicing at the age of ten. With the sufficient resources of the Xing family, he is now only at the sixth level of Qi training.
"Qiwen, you are distracted again. You are half-hearted in your practice. When can you build a foundation?" Jing Feiyao's stern voice sounded.
Seeing through by his mother, the boy simply stopped pretending to meditate and opened his eyes.
"Mother, I have an appointment with Daniu to go fishing for sea beasts today. I have practiced for two hours today, will you let me go?" Xing Qiwen begged.
"No!" Jing Feiyao flatly refused. "Xing Daniu only has a third-grade spiritual root, and his hope of building a foundation in this life is slim. If you mess with him every day, it will only affect your practice."
"But, my grandfather agreed to let me play with him." Xing Qiwen said stubbornly.
The 'grandfather' he mentioned was his father's murderer - Xing Wenyao.
The young man's mind is greedy for fun and difficult to control himself.
Xing Qiwen could not understand his mother's painstaking efforts. He suddenly stood up and said loudly.
"Anyway, I'm going to the beach today."
After that, he didn't care whether his mother agreed or not, and walked straight out of the palace.
Jing Feiyao looked at her son's back as he left, her lips slightly parted, and she wanted to speak several times to keep her son.
But in the end she just sighed deeply, with disappointment in her eyes that could not be concealed.
She knew very well that even if she forced her son to stay, he would not practice seriously.
Under Xing Wenyao's deliberate indulgence, Xing Qiwen had developed a lazy and playful character, which could not be changed for a while.
Suddenly.
She noticed that a communication jade slip in the storage ring was slightly beating.
Someone was calling!
Jing Feiyao took out the communication jade slip and checked it.
[Madam, do you still remember me? ]
Jing Feiyao's eyes flashed with surprise, and she quickly replied.
[Shan Yue, you are very courageous. Instead of finding a remote place far away from the Xing family and living in a cowardly way, you dare to return to the vicinity of Fangzhu City. ]
[Madam, don't worry about my safety. I dare to return to Fangzhu City, so I am sure to avoid the pursuit of the Xing family. ]
[Then why did you contact me? ]
[I want to ask Madam to help me steal something from the Xing family. ]
[What a joke! The thief asked the owner to steal his own property. It's ridiculous! ]
[Madam, don't rush to refuse. I dare to find you, so I am sure of it.]
Jing Feiyao's expression was slightly stern, and a bad premonition rose in her heart.
[Shan Yue, what do you mean by this?]
[I have some evidence in my hand about your affair with the guard. If I spread this evidence in Fangzhu City, I wonder if you still have the face to continue to sit firmly on the position of the first lady of the Xing family. When Xing Wenyao sees this evidence, I wonder if he will execute you, a fickle woman.]
Jing Feiyao's face flashed a trace of panic, but she quickly calmed down.
[This lady has always been clean and self-disciplined. How could she be the kind of shameless woman!]
[It seems that the lady will not cry until she sees the coffin. But this guard is also handsome enough, with an upright posture. No wonder the first lady is lingering to death, hehehe...]
It seems that after staying with Song Wen for a long time, Shan Yue has also learned Song Wen's strange laughter.
Jing Feiyao knew that Shan Yue must have evidence in her hand after speaking to her in a serious manner. She gritted her teeth, and the hatred in her eyes flashed like a knife.
[What do you want? ]
[Holy Spirit Pill. ]
[This is impossible! The Holy Spirit Pill is in the Xing family's treasure house, and I have no chance to touch it. ]
[That's your business, Madam! Remember, you only have one day. If I don't see the Holy Spirit Pill tomorrow, the evidence will spread throughout Fangzhu City. ]
Jing Feiyao put away the jade slip for the message, her face gloomy.
She thought for a moment and took out another jade slip for the message.
She told Shan Yue about his threat to her without reservation.
On the other side of the jade slip was Jing Lie, who replied after reading the content of the message.
[What is the so-called evidence in Shan Yue's hand? ]
[I don't know either, she didn't say it clearly. ]
[Where is the guard who had an affair with you now? ]
[He has left the Xing family. In the years before Xing Gaohan's death, I couldn't stand the loneliness of seclusion for a while, so I had an affair with the guard. After Xing Wenyao came to power, I was afraid that he would find out, so I dismissed the guard. ]
[Stupid! This kind of thing must be kept secret, why don't you kill the guard? The evidence in Shan Yue's hand may have come from the guard, and even the guard fell into her hands. ]
[Actually...more than one person. ]
[What do you mean more than one person? ]
[The guard who had an affair with me! Because there were a lot of people, I was worried that the guards would die collectively and attract the attention of the Xing family, so I secretly dismissed them. ]
[You...are ridiculous! It's a disgrace to my Jing family. ] Jing Lie rebuked loudly.
[Jing Lie, you have no right to blame me. It was you who asked me to seduce Xing Wenyao and let me whisper in his ear to agree to cooperate with you to kill Xing Gaohan.
In the past few years, I have been providing you with internal information about the Xing family, helping you to gradually erode and weaken the strength of the Xing family. Just so that one day, the Jing family can swallow up the Xing family.
I will give everything for the family. Now, I have encountered a little thing, do you want to stand by and watch? 】
Jing Feiyao sent several messages in a row.
Jing Lie replied, [When did I say I don’t care about you! It’s just that this matter is a bit difficult to handle. Shan Yue is in the dark, not to mention that she is seeking the Holy Spirit Pill, which means that there is probably a Yuanying stage cultivator behind her. Things are not as simple as you think. 】
[What should I do? Do you really want me to steal the Holy Spirit Pill? 】
[I’m afraid this is the only way. 】
[Doesn’t the Jing family covet the Holy Spirit Pill? Are they willing to give it to others? 】
[Although the Holy Spirit Pill is precious, for the entire Jing family, the Holy Spirit Pill formula and the complete practice of "Concentrating the Soul Thorn" are the most valuable. The family asked you to try to get the third level of "Concentrated Soul Thorn". How is the progress? 】
【Xing Wenyao is very good to me and obeys me in everything, but he is very cautious about me in this matter and does not allow me to step into the fourth floor of the Sutra Library. 】
【You need to spend more time on this matter. In addition, you should also speed up the investigation of information about Yunji Mountain. Xing Xinyu has been stationed in Yunji Mountain for many years, and there must be secrets. 】
【I am in trouble now, but you don’t help me solve Shan Yue’s problem, but instead want to use me to steal the skills and information. 】Jing Feiyao’s tone was obviously angry.
【You go to the Xing family treasury to see if you can get the Holy Spirit Pill. If the Holy Spirit Pill is in hand, I will ask the Wuming Patriarch to come forward and use the Holy Spirit Pill to lure out Shan Yue and the people behind her, kill them, and solve your future troubles. 】
