Chapter 291 Calculation
After returning to the villa, the three of them went to pay their respects to their master Dongfang Guyue as soon as they learned that he had returned.
"came back?"
Sitting in the main hall, Dongfang Gu Yue smiled when he saw the three people coming.
"Dad, you have to help us vent our anger this time!"
As soon as she saw her father, Qin Lan immediately threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
"My daughter almost didn't come back this time!"
"what happened?"
Seeing Qin Lan so aggrieved, Dongfang Guyue frowned and asked.
"That damned Shi family member intercepted my sister and me on the road, and threatened to kill Qin Lan!"
Qin Lan cried out with tears in her eyes,
"Daddy! You must avenge me!"
"Did the Shi family assassinate you? When did you become enemies with the Shi family?"
Dongfang Guyue asked in surprise
Seeing this, Jin Renfeng took the initiative to step forward and narrated in detail how he crippled Shi Zheng's arm and how he encountered the ambush.
"I killed all the other assassins and collected their bodies. I only kept the leader."
As he said this, he threw the black-robed old man in his hand to the ground.
"I see. Thank you for your help this time!"
Seeing this, Dongfang Guyue said,
"Otherwise, Qin Lan and Huai Zhu might lose their lives this time!"
"If my two junior sisters hadn't accompanied me, I wouldn't have suffered this disaster. In the final analysis, the responsibility also lies on me."
Jin Renfeng said guiltily.
"Huaizhu's trip was ordered by this old man. The responsibility lies with me, and it has nothing to do with you."
Dongfang Guyue waved her hand.
"You don't have to feel burdened."
"However, there is something wrong with this Shi family."
Speaking of this, Dongfang Gu Yue looked puzzled.
"Dad, it was the Shi family who took action first this time. We must make them pay the price."
Qin Lan shouted unwillingly.
Dongfang Guyue did not respond. He tapped the armrests of the armchair with his fingers, his eyes gleaming, and he muttered,
"Assassination - Shi Family -"
After muttering several sentences, the old man turned his head and asked.
"Renfeng, what do you think about this?"
Jin Renfeng bowed and said in a deep voice,
"I think this matter is strange. Although I have offended the Xiao family and the Shi family, I'm afraid the Shi family doesn't have the courage to kill my Shenhuoshan Villa in broad daylight."
"I think this is a deliberate trap set by someone, who wants to cause a fight between Shenhuoshan Manor and the Shi family, so that they can reap the benefits."
He expressed the information he had obtained from his memory in the form of speculation.
"You can see that, that's not bad!"
Dongfang Guyue nodded with satisfaction.
"A formation comparable to that of a great demon king is not something the Shi family can come up with."
"Someone must be plotting behind the scenes."
"What? Not the Shi family?"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Qin Lan was stunned.
After all this fuss, it turned out that those assassins were not from the Shi family. She had always misunderstood the target of her hatred.
She turned to look at her sister, only to see that she also looked as if she had expected this.
So I'm the only one who is kept in the dark?
Realizing this, Qin Lan's face instantly fell.
"Master, which force do you think it is?"
Jin Renfeng asked proactively.
He wanted to know his master's opinion, and if his guess was wrong, he could correct it and point it to the Wang Quan family.
"As expected, this should be the number one family in the world!"
Dongfang Guyue said lightly.
"The only ones who have had conflicts with our Shenhuoshan Villa recently are the Xiao family and the Wang Quan family."
"The Xiao family doesn't have that strength. The only family that can produce so many magical weapons of the demon king is the Wang Quan family."
Jin Renfeng was filled with admiration. He had never expected that his master could quickly and accurately guess the person behind the scenes just by guessing.
Previously, he relied on the memories obtained from his hands to deduce the various reasons.
Sure enough, he could not compare to the experience of the older generation of monks.
"But if the Wang Quan family takes action, what is their purpose?"
Huaizhu looked puzzled.
"We at Shenhuoshan Manor have not offended the Wang Quan family, so why are they trying to make things difficult for us and even risk our lives?"
"I guess he wants to provoke a fight between my Shenhuoshan Manor and the Shi family!"
Dongfang Guyue chuckled and said,
"If the three of you were suddenly assassinated and there were no clues, I would probably suspect the Shi family."
"By then, Shenhuoshan Manor will certainly be caught up in a struggle with the Shi family and will no longer have the energy to support the Yang family. In this way, the good momentum of the Yang, Li, and Dongfang families joining forces will also collapse."
“If I, at all costs, kill the Shi family’s people, the reputation of Shenhuoshan Manor will be affected by me, and the major families will become more wary of Shenhuoshan Manor. From then on, I will lose the qualification to compete for the leader.”
"Kill two birds with one stone. The position of leader of the Wang Quan family can rest assured from now on."
"That's quite a calculation!"
At the end, Dongfang Guyue let out a long sigh.
It’s also a very vicious plan!
Jin Renfeng said secretly in his heart.
This plan was extremely vicious. In order to plot against his master and cut off the Yang family's arm, he and his two fellow apprentice sisters became victims for no reason and were easily wiped out by the Wang Quan family.
"A thousand-year-old family is really not a vegetarian!"
In his eyes, the lives of him, Huaizhu and Qinlan were not even as important as ants.
Huaizhu, who was standing by, also felt a chill in her heart; she also saw the danger of this situation.
If it weren't for the eldest senior brother who figured out the space magic and sent her and Qin Lan away, they would have really died.
"It seems that my alliance with Brother Yang has indeed put considerable pressure on Wang Quan Shouzhu. Just now, he has set his sights on you and Huaizhu."
Dongfang Guyue glanced at the three of them.
"You must be careful when you travel in the future. I'm afraid the Wang Quan family will not let this go."
"Disciple understands!"
Jin Renfeng bowed.
He planned not to leave the villa for the near future. He didn't believe that the Wang Quan family could catch up to Shenhuoshan Villa.
“But having said that, although this matter was planned by someone, the fact that the Wang Quan family was able to ambush is also related to you, Ren Feng, making enemies everywhere.”
Dongfang Guyue changed the subject and turned the topic to Jin Renfeng.
"If you hadn't had an argument with Shi Zheng, the Wang Quan family wouldn't have taken advantage of this time."
"I told you before that I'm not here this time, so you should be careful and not cause trouble. I didn't expect you to take it to heart."
"In the future, you must learn from this and be careful! Don't be as reckless as you were this time."
"It was Shi Zheng who launched the sneak attack first? Senior Brother was just fighting back."
Qin Lan said indignantly.
"What's wrong with Master Brother?"
“How can a man who has accomplished great things show his joy or anger on his face?”
Dongfang Guyue said coldly,
"If a mere provocation or insult can make you so furious, then your enemies can do whatever they want to you, right?"
"How can we accomplish anything if we fall into the enemy's trap?"
"This is such a simple truth, do you need me to explain it more?"
Qin Lan pursed her lips and was speechless.
"Master's teachings, I have received them!"
Jin Renfeng bowed in response.
He knew that his master wanted him to be shrewd and patient, and not be bound by momentary joy or anger.
Jin Renfeng also understood this truth. If he could be patient about some things, he could indeed avoid a lot of trouble.
This is true whether it is the Xiao family or the Shi family.
But he really couldn't do this.
If he hadn't chopped Shi Zheng down at the beginning, he would have been depressed for days.
What he practices is to have his thoughts clear, so how could he suffer because of a villain?
He felt aggrieved before practicing, and he still felt aggrieved after practicing. So what was the point of practicing?
Precisely because of this thought in his mind, he has never been willing to compromise himself.
Unless your strength does not allow it, you must retaliate.
"Master, the Wang Quan family has already made a move. How should we respond next?"
Jin Renfeng asked. "Wake up the man in black robe! Let me ask him!"
Eastern Lone Moon Road.
Jin Renfeng stood up and asked someone to fetch a basin of cold water and pour it on the man in black.
With a groan, the old man opened his eyes.
"here it is?"
The old man in black robe looked at the surrounding arrangements, somewhat confused.
"Let me ask you, are you really from the Shi family?"
Dongfang Guyue asked.
Hearing the sound, the old man turned his head and looked up.
When he saw the majestic figure sitting on the armchair, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Eastern Lone Moon?"
he screamed.
"You evil thief, are you really from the Shi family?"
Dongfang Guyue frowned slightly and asked again.
"me……"
The old man stumbled for a few seconds before he spoke.
"I am not from the Shi family."
"You are not from the Shi family? Then which family are you from?"
"I am from the Xiao family!"
"Who ordered you to assassinate my daughter's disciple?"
"It's my family's head, Xiao Wancheng."
The old man in black began to talk nonsense.
"This guy! He covered it up really well. He even blamed it on the Xiao family. He was afraid that I would get suspicious."
Seeing his answer like this, Dongfang Guyue sneered.
Then he didn't ask any more questions, and a beam of fire appeared from his finger, knocking him unconscious.
"Master! This traitor won't tell the truth. Why don't we torture him? I think he will confess!"
Jin Renfeng suggested.
"This method is useless!"
Dongfang Guyue shook his head.
"Since these assassins have come here, they must be determined to die."
"At this moment, his whole family is probably in the hands of the person assigned."
"In this situation, no matter how much he is tortured, he will not reveal the person behind this."
"What should we do? Are we helpless against him?"
Qin Lan said depressedly.
"That's true. For a person who is determined to die like this, unless someone can get into his brain and check, there is really nothing we can do to him."
Dongfang Guyue sighed.
"Does the human race have a spell that can search for memories?"
Jin Renfeng asked.
He wanted to take this opportunity to learn about the human race's ability to memorize spells.
"The human race does not have such magic."
Dongfang Guyue showed a look of regret.
"I heard that the Tushan fox demon in the east has a method of memory, but humans and demons are on different paths, so I have no chance to see it."
Jin Renfeng secretly felt lucky that he had concealed the existence of Shuangquan Hands, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
"Since this guy won't confess even if he has nothing to say, there's no point in keeping him here, so why not just kill him!"
Jin Renfeng suggested.
He kept this person to gather intelligence, but now that he couldn't get any intelligence at all, this person naturally had no value.
"That doesn't have to be the case!"
Dongfang Guyue thought for a moment and said,
"Give me the bodies of the dead soldiers, the fragments of the magic weapon, and the recorded illusion stone."
"I'm going to the Shi family."
"Dad, didn't you say that these people were not ordered by the Shi family?
Huaizhu looked puzzled.
"Why do you still want to go to the Shi family?"
"Even if it's not the Shi family, they should be made aware of this. Someone is plotting against them."
Dongfang Gu Yue slowly stood up, and there seemed to be an invisible aura gathering around him.
"Besides, you three have been plotted against. I should find someone to kill to scare the monkeys!"
“Then the world will know that our Shenhuoshan Manor is not to be trifled with!”
The old man's eyes flickered, and his words were chilling.
. . . . . .
Wang Quan’s house, the main hall.
"Master, a spy reported that the killing team was completely wiped out."
Butler Fei walked in slowly and bowed to report.
"What about the three juniors?"
The sickly middle-aged man asked.
"No body was found at the scene, so I think he left."
Butler Fei said in a deep voice.
"It seems that the youngster from Shenhuoshan Villa is indeed quite powerful and can even break the Green Water Demon Sealing Array."
The middle-aged man looked surprised, then slowed down.
"But even if those three juniors ran away, they fell into my plan."
"It is estimated that Dongfang Guyue has already set his sights on the Shi family."
"The next step is to see if he falls into the trap."
"As long as he gets angry and loses control and goes to take revenge on the Shi family, he will fall into my trap."
Having said this, the middle-aged man suddenly coughed several times, and his thin body began to hunch over.
"Master, your illness is getting worse, so please stop working so hard!"
Butler Fei said earnestly.
"It's okay! I've been sick for a long time. It won't hurt me if I get tired this time."
The middle-aged man waved his hand.
"This action is related to the current situation of the Dao League, and even more so to the position of leader of my Wangquan family that has been passed down for thousands of years. We must not be careless."
"It's all because of the rebellious ministers from the Yang family, the Li family, and the Dongfang family who don't abide by their duties."
Butler Fei spoke, his words full of dissatisfaction towards the three families.
"If they hadn't been eyeing the position of leader all day and pressing you hard, you wouldn't have to spend so much energy on this matter of the Qidao Alliance!"
"As long as we get through this, the situation will be fine."
Wang Quan said with a smile,
“As long as Dongfang Guyue and the Shi family are arguing, the Shi family will have no choice but to seek the protection of my Wangquan family.”
"Dongfang Guyue will also be distracted and will no longer be able to support the Yang family."
"With Yang Yifang's arm broken, the threat to the leader's position will be greatly reduced."
"From now on, no one can shake the position of leader."
"The master is a man of great foresight, and it is impossible for a lowly person to catch up with him."
Butler Fei complimented.
At this time, a figure came from outside the hall.
"But what's the news?"
Wang Quan asked cautiously.
"Master, the spies reported that Dongfang Guyue has left Shenhuoshan Villa and is heading towards the Shi family."
The man clasped his fists.
"Good! Dongfang Guyue finally fell into my trap!"
Wang Quan Shouzhuo shouted excitedly, then he slowly stood up and said loudly,
"Xiao Fei, go get the sword of kingship! I want to do it myself this time!"
