Chapter 682: A Trap and a Trick to Steal

If it were an outsider, after a few small details, at most he would see a little emptiness in Jiang Qi's face.

After all, he is also an experienced person. No matter how excited he is, he probably won't show it in his body language.

But Xu Xiaoshou is different.

He only glanced at the information bar and saw the crazy pop-up windows of "suspected" and "speculated", and he knew it in his heart.

Yes, the action just now was made on purpose.

Xu Xiaoshou is not really the Eight Lords, how could he not know that Jiang Xian's target is not Lei Shuangxing, but Mu Zixi?

So all his actions not only responded to Jiang Xian's words step by step on the surface, but also hit Jiang Qi in the dark with a subtle psychological action, making him question his own thinking.

So, in this case, do we need to continue bombarding?

No need!

After all, too much is as bad as too little.

Xu Xiaoshou didn't even look at Jiang Qi. He really has always been targeting this person and never took Jiang Xian seriously.

But the targeting between masters always happens inadvertently.

This kind of attack is sometimes the most lethal.

"What does the woman you are talking about look like?" Xu Xiaoshou asked as usual, as if all the secret confrontations just now had never happened.

Jiang Xian hadn't figured out anything yet, and was trying to divert the attention of the Eighth Sword Immortal from himself, so he responded immediately.

"It can't be said that she is a woman, but a little girl with twin ponytails, a green dress, and a person from the First Floor in the Sky."

After a pause, he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and then said: "And, Xu Shao from the First Floor in the Sky is also accompanied by a ghost beast!"

If there is anything in the world that can attract the attention of big shots in the first place, it is definitely the ghost beast.

Jiang Xian is not stupid, he just recovers his mentality a little slower.

At this time, he can already figure out a little bit of the Eighth Sword Immortal's thoughts from several conversations.

The other party may only want information, not human lives.

In this case, being frightened will only make your performance more unstable.

So after finishing his counterattack, Jiang Xian immediately looked up.

As expected, at this time, he could see the first fluctuation in the turbid eyes of the Eighth Sword Immortal.

"Ghost beast? Interesting..." Xu Xiaoshou murmured.

Jiang Xian was puzzled.

According to Jiang Qi's inference, isn't the Holy Slave behind the scenes controlling the First Floor in the Sky?

But looking at the other party's performance...

"Wrong inference?"

Jiang Xian glanced back, but saw Jiang Qi lowering his head, thinking about something.

He had no idea what he had just said secretly. At this time, all he could do was look back without conclusion, then look at the Eighth Sword Immortal and wait for the next words.

How could Xu Xiaoshou be successfully diverted by this little brat?

He just echoed the other party's words, thought for a while, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Where is the 'Eye of Heaven' you mentioned?"

Jiang Xian was startled.

Jiang Qi behind him also looked up.

The two never expected that the Eighth Sword Immortal's way of grasping the key points was still so accurate.

After going around in circles for so long, it turns out that the other party has not deviated at all!

Jiang Xian hesitated and spoke with difficulty: "To be honest, the 'Eye of Heaven' is my Jiang family's treasure, and I must not give it to you..."

Xu Xiaoshou's outstretched hand did not move, but his eyes fell directly on Jiang Xian's eyes.

His expression was still so calm, and he didn't even say a word.

Jiang Xian was speechless.

No matter how stupid they were, the two Jiangs could fully understand the eyes of the Eighth Sword Immortal at this time: "Either the 'Eye of Heaven' or the 'Three Disgusting Pupils', you choose."

Jiang Xian was about to cry.

He really had never been so wronged in his life.

Why did a super leader of the last era embarrass him, Jiang Xian, a junior, everywhere?

But no matter how wronged he was at this time, Jiang Xian had to force himself to speak: "The 'Eye of Heaven' is too mysterious, even I can't control it. It is now on my guard Jiang Lan, and Jiang Lan is not in the manor at the moment, performing a mission outside..."

"Tsk!" Xu Xiaoshou sneered softly.

Jiang Xian panicked: "Senior, I'm telling the truth. The 'Eye of Heaven' is not on me. Even if you kill me, you can't get it... uh."

Jiang Xian suddenly stopped talking.

Yes, if he killed himself, the Eighth Sword Immortal would not get the "Eye of Heaven", but he could get the "Three Disgusting Pupils".

"I, I'll call him over now..."

Jiang Xian was upset and picked up the communication bead.

Xu Xiaoshou said nothing, just silently waiting for the other party to finish the call, and then watched Jiang Xian put away the communication bead.

"Tell me, what's the matter with the ghost beast?"

After everything was done, Xu Xiaoshou withdrew his hand and continued to fiddle with the teacup on the table. He was a little curious whether Jiang Xian saw Xin Gugu or Mo Mo.

Three Disgusting Pupils, there is such a power?

"My friend saw it, not the 'Three Disgusting Pupils'."

Jiang Xian knew what the other party was thinking, and he couldn't take the blame at this time. He explained:

"Rong Dahao, a disciple of the Taixu family and the contemporary heir of the Fumen clan, has been trying to curry favor with me during this period, but he doesn't have any special abilities to see ghost beasts."

"But he just happened to see the ghost beast's transformation, so he recognized the true face of the woman on the first floor of the sky."

Jiang Xian said sorry in his heart.

But I would rather die than die. If the attention of the Eighth Sword Immortal could be attracted by Rong Dahao at this time, Jiang Xian would definitely burn incense for that guy and guarantee that the Rong family would be rich for a hundred years!

It was Mo Mo... Xu Xiaoshou understood what Jiang Xian said.

It turned out that he was recognized by an acquaintance.

When they set out from Baiku and walked for half a month, Xu Xiaoshou had specially told everyone to change their appearance.

But the people around him did not "change" after all, and sometimes, it was easy for people with sharp eyes to see it.

And...

There is a very important sign for ghost beasts to travel on the continent!

Xu Xiaoshou guessed that if Rong Dahao could really recognize Mo Mo, he would either see through the disguise or notice Mo Mo's small copper furnace.

It's hard to guard against!

Feeling emotional, Xu Xiaoshou's face remained calm. He shook his head and said, "You betrayed your friend very quickly."

"I..." Jiang Xian choked for a moment and reluctantly explained, "I have only known him for a few days, so we are not friends."

Xu Xiaoshou didn't care whether he was a friend or not.

In his opinion, the Eighth Sword Immortal was indeed a person who would be attracted by the matter of ghost beasts, and he was silent for a while.

On the surface, he was thinking.

In fact, Xu Xiaoshou was just silent for a while. He had to pretend and engrave all these actions into Jiang Qi's heart.

After a few breaths, he ended his state, put down the teacup, stood up and glanced at Jiang Qi and said, "I don't care about the grudge between you and the First Floor of the Sky, nor do I care about the process of your guessing each other."

"But I care about the result."

Xu Xiaoshou stared at Jiang Qi: "You are right about one thing. I am indeed playing chess, but if another team suddenly appeared in the chess game, even if they are different, as long as they interfere with my plan, it will be clear."

Jiang Qi's heart trembled.

The Eighth Sword Immortal's words were a warning.

She did want to send a message back to the clan at the beginning, asking them to support the mission of Dongtianwang City.

But now it seems that the idea may be good, but the water in Dongtianwang City is too muddy.

Once the chess chess is wrong, you may inexplicably break into these life-or-death arrangements, and then you can't escape even if you want to.

Jiang Qi is very fortunate that she is in the Puxuan Jiang family in the Northern Territory.

If it were an outsider, I'm afraid that according to the temper of the Eighth Sword Immortal, he would not say such a word.

And the Semi-Saint Family...

Jiang Qi glanced at Jiang Shao. Perhaps the only reason for the two of them to survive was because of this background!

"As for you..."

Xu Xiaoshou looked at Jiang Xian again, and said indifferently: "Before I finish my work, you should stay here obediently. Although I don't want to kill anyone, if I find out that this 'Three Disgusting Pupils' is not from your clan, but from the Lei Family..."

"There is no place for you in the world!"

Jiang Xian felt a chill immediately after hearing this, and his hair stood on end.

"Don't worry, senior, I will definitely not lie about this kind of thing." He immediately promised solemnly.

Xu Xiaoshou looked away, and did not reply. He waved his hand and looked outside the door.

"Let him come in."

"Jiang Lan!" Jiang Xian shouted immediately.

The door was pushed open, and another throne appeared outside.

The Jiang family manor was indeed emptied directly after Xu Xiaoshou's words just now.

Even the servants were like this, for fear that someone who was not long-sighted would accidentally break in here and irritate the legendary Eighth Sword Immortal.

Now, in such a large manor, the only one who dared to enter was Jiang Lan, who was outside the door.

"Eye of Heavenly Knowledge." Jiang Xian didn't waste words.

Jiang Lan took out the "Heavenly Knowledge Pearl" without saying a word.

He didn't even dare to look at the masked man in the deepest part of the room. He just glanced at Jiang Qi when he handed the "Heavenly Knowledge Pearl" to Jiang Shao.

Jiang Qi shook his head very slightly, pursed his red lips and didn't say anything.

"Jiang Shao, then I will leave?"

"Yes."

The door slammed again, and Jiang Lan seemed to have never appeared at all, and the scene returned to silence.

"Senior."

Jiang Xian presented the "Heavenly Knowledge Pearl" with both hands.

Even if he was reluctant, even if this was the Jiang family's treasure, at this moment, being able to use the treasure to exchange for life was already a blessing in disguise.

Perhaps some forces that have specially investigated the holy slaves also know that there is a person named Lei Shuangxing among the holy slaves.

They probably didn't dare to match this "tear" with that "tear".

But...

These people not only didn't know that this "tear" was really that "tear", but also that the Saint Slave Chief was undoubtedly the Eighth Sword Immortal.

What they would never and dared not think about was that the rumored Eighth Sword Immortal actually had a close connection with the fallen Lei family.

A "Heavenly Knowledge Pearl" in exchange for such important information.

For the Jiang family, this was not a loss.

For this reason, it was also the reason why Jiang Qi didn't speak out to stop Jiang Shao's actions.

Xu Xiaoshou waved his hand and took the "Heavenly Knowledge Pearl".

This was a fist-sized crystal ball, with thick white mist lingering inside, wrapped in a milky white eyeball, which was motionless at this time.

He put it into the ring without hesitation, and Xu Xiaoshou didn't ask any more questions.

After all, as for the relationship between the "Heavenly Pearl", "Heavenly Eye", and the "Unknown Eye" that Luo Leilei had mentioned before, in his impression, he believed that he would get the answer he wanted if he asked now.

But he is now the Eighth Sword Immortal.

People can be ignorant of some things, but they cannot show it to outsiders in such a stupid way.

That would really lose your identity.

"Remember what I said today, wait in this room until I investigate clearly."

Xu Xiaoshou said, and his figure began to blur.

His eyes slid from Jiang Qi to Jiang Xian's eyes, staring straight at him, his body becoming disillusioned little by little.

"in addition……"

At this moment, he seemed to remember something. While his body was disintegrating in a way that even Heaven could not see, the lingering sound echoed around him.

"I will protect Yu Gu from the Lei family."

"You can spread this word, I, the Eight Masters, said it well."

…

"Boom!"

When the echo finally disappeared completely in the room, Jiang Xian slammed his butt onto the chair.

Only then did he realize that his clothes were completely wet with sweat, and even his hair looked as if it had just been washed and scrubbed. Some of it was still stained with water and stuck to his scalp, without any appearance at all.

"Leaving?" Jiang Xian said in confusion.

"Let's go." Jiang Qi stood up, pushed the chair back to its original position, and after scanning the house, he immediately sent a message to Jiang Si, asking people to come back quickly.

"How could the Eighth Sword Immortal find me?" Jiang Xian said dreamily, still scared.

Jiang Qi replied: "Because the person we are targeting may not be Lei Shuangxing, but also an orphan of the Lei family. And according to the tone of the Eighth Sword Immortal's words, he will save the person even if there is a little hope."

"But……"

Jiang Xian was puzzled.

"But judging from the performance of the Eighth Sword Immortal, he is not the mastermind behind the first floor of the sky. Since he is not the mastermind behind the scenes, he must not know the person around him named Xu."

"The reason why he spoke was because of his tears, and he is blind because of his tears. So, a blind person can also sense my 'three disgusting pupils'?"

As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

Jiang Qi suddenly realized something from Jiang Xian's words. Is there something really wrong in this huge closed loop of speech?

The Eighth Sword Immortal came for the sake of tears, but only took away the "Eye of Heaven's Knowledge".

Before his matter is completed, the Jiang family will be banned from touching another suspected "Yu Gu of the Lei family" on the first floor of the sky.

Everything sounds like the Eighth Sword Immortal is really not the mastermind behind the First Floor in the Sky.

But the other party is always protecting the first floor in the sky, intentionally or unintentionally.

Perhaps even the Eighth Sword Immortal himself was not aware of this detail, but Jiang Qi was different. After recalling all the exchanges just now in her mind, she felt a little moved.

"It's not mentioned on the surface, but his concern for the first floor of the sky is there."

"If we really want to investigate the first floor of the sky, with the ability of the Holy Slave, wouldn't it only take a matter of minutes? Why do we have to wait?"

"Also, the leader of the Saint Slave, is it necessary to be so caring about such an insignificant little organization?"
