Main Text Chapter 568 Big Trouble

"This..." Tao Qingli hesitated, "Hou Feng is the old man who has been with my mother-in-law the longest. She never touched him when she was alive, and he didn't do anything extraordinary."

Zhao Fei tried to persuade him again: "Now and then, when the old palace master is here, he naturally does not dare to do anything out of the ordinary, but maybe he will not do anything out of line when the old palace master is gone. Even if he will not do anything out of line in the future, he will not do anything out of line. You can't keep him! Can't you see the good intentions of the old palace master? The old palace master kept his head for you to get, and his head was used by the eldest sister to scare the younger ones! Keep getting messed up!"

Sikong Wuwei also advised: "Qingli, what the third child said makes sense, we won't harm you, it's all for your own good!"

Tao Qingli looked at the two of them and didn't know what to say. How could she not know that Granny Tao left Hou Feng to establish her authority...

Grandma Tao once said during her lifetime that she had been killed for a long time, and some people could still understand that although Hou Feng was deeply rooted in the Shui Xing Palace, he had been comfortable for too long and was not necessarily the opponent of Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei. As long as they win over With these two people living together, they will definitely find a way to help her get rid of Hou Feng.

This was expected, but Tao Qingli didn't expect that these two sworn brothers would immediately see the key, and they were so decisive that they would take action before Granny Tao's body was even cold!

Zhao Fei once again helped her make up her mind and said: "Sister! You are still the temporary palace master. Huyan Taibao didn't mention this at all in his words just now. If you can't stabilize the Water Palace, there may be doubts from above. Sister ! Everyone above and below is looking at you, unable to hesitate!"

Tao Qingli bit her lip with silver teeth, determination finally flashed in her eyes, and she nodded slowly...

Quiet night, vigil night.

Hou Feng, who was on duty, led three of his subordinates to sit cross-legged and meditate around the incense table in the mourning hall. White flags were hanging high and swaying outside, the white gauze under the eaves swayed in the wind, and cigarette smoke was lingering.

Late at night, Tao Qingli walked out from behind. The maid carried a tray behind him.

After Hou Feng and others opened their eyes, they quickly stood up and saluted, "Palace Master!"

Tao Qingli stretched out his hand to help: "No need to be too polite. I'm very grateful to the palace master for keeping vigil for the old palace master. I made some tea myself to express my gratitude."

"We have followed the old palace master for many years. Now that the old palace master has passed away, it is our duty as a veteran to protect the old palace master until his last journey. How dare I trouble the palace master like this!" Hou Feng and others thanked him humbly.

The maid came forward, and Tao Qingli personally picked up the teapot on the tray, poured four cups of tea, and then personally held up the cup and served it to the four people one by one.

"Don't dare!" The four of them took the tea and thanked them one by one, drinking it all in one gulp.

The maid then placed the tray on the small table aside for the four of them to use. Tao Qingli said some lucky words and turned back to the back hall.

Silence returned to the mourning hall. The four of them sat back down cross-legged.

However, a moment later, a walker from Zhenjia Hall suddenly groaned and covered his abdomen with his hand.

Hou Feng opened his eyes when he heard the sound, turned his head to look, frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

"Palace Master! That tea isn't right..." But another walker on the other side said in pain, clutching his stomach.

I saw that the mouths and noses of the three people were already bleeding.

Extremely poisonous! Hou Feng stood up in shock, his body suddenly shook, and he pressed his abdomen with his hand. Then he forcibly cast a spell to suppress it, and with a flip of his hand, he slapped an antidote elixir into his mouth.

Hou Feng's face was full of anger, but he didn't dare to stay here any longer. He had realized something and quickly stepped out, trying to escape.

"Traitor! Where are you running!" An angry shout suddenly sounded, breaking the tranquility of the night.

A huge hammer shadow struck Hou Feng angrily with the sound of thunder. Sikong Wuwei had been waiting for him outside.

This mountain-suppressing hammer is even more powerful in the hands of the Red Lotus monk.

Hou Feng was shocked. Turning his hand, he held a pair of red-light melon hammers, brazenly attacking the azure-light sledgehammer coming from the air.

boom! With a loud noise that shook the sky, the mountain-suppressing hammer flew out with a bang. Hou Feng, who was already poisoned, spat out a mouthful of blood, but regardless of it, he kicked his legs and quickly ran into the air to escape. He knew that his current physical condition was not suitable for fighting, and he would be dead if he didn't escape quickly.

In the mourning hall, Tao Qingli walked out holding Grandma Tao's dragon-headed staff. The maids on the left and right quickly stepped out, drew their swords, and in the blink of an eye slashed three people on the ground who were struggling with their stomachs covered, and three bloody heads rolled to the ground.

A figure flew down from the roof of the hall. Wearing a third-grade python armor, Zhao Fei's whole body was flashing with red treasure. He was holding a halberd with an inverted scale and a square sky, and descended from the sky. He struck angrily at Hou Feng who was fleeing in the air. It was a full blow.

A person flashed out from the darkness below. Sikong Wuwei, who was also wearing a third-grade python armor, was also covered in red light. He angrily waved a scale-reverse long ax and jumped into the air, killing Hou Feng.

Although Hou Feng was poisoned and his strength was greatly affected, but with his cultivation level and a pair of third-grade magic weapons in his hands, he could swing the hammer up and down instantly to meet the attack.

With two booming sounds, Zhao Fei, who was flying down from the sky, was shaken into the air, and Sikong Wuwei was also shaken to the ground and staggered back.

Seeing that Hou Feng was about to escape, Zhao Fei, who was so shocked that he flew into the air, shook Fang Tian's painted halberd in the air.

The dragon-shaped curved blade on Fang Tian's painted halberd suddenly came to life. It jumped out from Fang Tian's painted halberd and instantly transformed into a ten-foot-long flying dragon. It shook its head and tail and chased Hou Feng.

Sikong Wuwei, who was retreating after landing on the ground, turned around and shook his axe. The broad-headed axe blade immediately exploded into nine blades, and instantly rolled and whizzed away in the air.

The flying dragon was extremely agile. Hou Feng, who was entangled, had already had enough trouble dealing with it by swinging his hammer. How could he deal with nine flying axes? He caught a glimpse of Tao Qingli, who walked under the eaves with a crutch, and shouted in grief and anger: "Bitch..."

Puff puff puff! His body was pierced by several axes, and the nine flying axes flew back as one, chopping off Hou Feng's head in mid-air.

Sikong Wuwei raised his axe below, and the flying axes returned to their positions!

The flying dragon also flew into the air again in an instant, circling around the spear head in Zhao Fei's hand, and its body became smaller and smaller. In an instant, it turned into a small dragon with its head and tail raised, and landed on the side of the spear head, reappearing the Fang Tian Hua Ji.

With a swish! Zhao Fei fell from the air, and stood beside Tao Qingli with a halberd, with a blank expression on his face.

Red lights swept from the surrounding mountaintops to the ground, and the hall masters and walkers who were startled by the fighting looked at the scene in front of them in amazement.

Sikong Wuwei, who was standing next to Tao Qingli, threw his head at the feet of the crowd and shouted loudly: "The old palace master's body is still warm, Hou Feng took advantage of his power, was arrogant to the new master, and spoke rudely, he will be executed on the spot! If there are any more accomplices, Hou Feng's fate will be a lesson for us!"

The frightened people looked at each other, and Shen Huaixin, the master of Zhengui Palace, glanced at Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei standing on the left and right of Tao Qingli, with a complicated look.

In the palace, Granny Tao still lowered her head slightly and sat cross-legged on the throne of the palace master. I wonder if her spirit in heaven saw the scene in front of her...

At the same time, the troops of Zhenyi Palace and Zhenbing Palace had already attacked the territory of Zhenjia Palace at night. How could a group of sheep stop the troops that Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei had trained for a long time? Most of them surrendered. Hou Feng's trusted followers who had been rooted for many years were slaughtered, leaving no one alive, and were killed cleanly...

After the matter was reported to Chen Lujun, there was no response from Yudu Peak.

Following the wishes of Immortal Saint Mu Fanjun, Tao Qingli personally sent Grandma Tao's body to Tianwai Tian for burial.

When Tao Qingli returned from Tianwai Tian, ​​Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei hurried to Shuixing Palace to meet him.

In front of the red railing on the cliff, Zhao Fei asked: "Did the Immortal Saint mention that you would officially take over the Water Palace?"

Tao Qingli bit her lip, "The Saint only comforted me with kind words, and did not mention taking over the Water Palace. He only said that if I was not satisfied with the Water Palace, I could go to Tianwai Tian to serve the Saint, and I couldn't bring it up!"

The two were shocked, and Sikong Wuwei said quickly: "Didn't the Immortal Saint promise Granny Tao that you would take over?"

"I nodded too much!" Tao Qingli gritted her teeth and said: "Maybe I didn't remember it for a while."

Sikong Wuwei said angrily: "You personally delivered the body of the old palace master, and you appeared in front of her, how could she not remember it?"

Tao Qingli was silent...

Three months later, Chenlu Jun's envoy Yue Tianbo summoned Tao Qingli to Yudu Peak to meet him, and officially issued a decree to appoint Tao Qingli as the master of the Water Palace.

Yue Tianbo said to his face that this was the grace of the Saint...but this grace came a little too late!

At Fengyun Inn, Miao Yi, who received the message from Lingjiu, was shocked and could not sit still. He walked back and forth in the utility room with the jade tablet in his hand.

Miao Yi looked up to the sky and sighed: "Shuixing Palace is in trouble! Shuiyun Mansion is in danger!"

After Granny Tao passed away, Mu Fanjun sent his eldest disciple to worship, and buried Granny Tao's body in Tianwaitian. He also appointed Granny Tao's adopted granddaughter to succeed the palace master. Such preferential treatment for the old minister was beyond reproach.

But the problem was that the formal appointment was delayed for a few months. Whether it was forgotten for a while or intentional, it sent a message to the outside world that there was still a gap between Tao Qingli and Granny Tao. At least Tao Qingli was not that important in the mind of Immortal Saint Mu Fanjun!

Miao Yi could even guess why Mu Fanjun did this. Granny Tao was an old sister who followed Mu Fanjun. No one could say anything about Granny Tao occupying a position. After all, it depended on Mu Fanjun's face. But Tao Qingli is different. She is just the granddaughter adopted by Granny Tao. She has low qualifications and low cultivation. She doesn't have Granny Tao's qualifications to take advantage of her seniority. If Mu Fanjun forcefully bypasses the lower level and directly arranges her, I'm afraid many people will be unhappy.

But Mu Fanjun couldn't go back on his word after agreeing to Granny Tao. He hinted that Tao Qingli should give up this interest by being smart. It was like leaving a way out for Tao Qingli, and it was also an explanation to Granny Tao.

The delay in the appointment for the past few months was undoubtedly because Tao Qingli was not smart, forcing Tao Qingli to give up and let go!

Tao Qingli still had a way out, but what about the others in Shuixing Palace? What about the people in Miao Yi Shuiyun Mansion? How could the wolf-like guys around him smell this opportunity and let it go easily? This is really a big trouble!
