Chapter 1655 Three Known Immortals
After returning, Bei Xingze went to see Mu Tingyu first.

He knows Feng Qingang and the people of Yunwan Village very well. He can't possibly make a move against Mu Tingyu right away, since he hasn't finished dealing with Feng Qingang yet.

Mu Tingyu has a good appearance, and Feng Qingang likes to spend a lot of energy slowly working on such a "goods".

However, since Feng Qingang has already used Mu Tingyu to intimidate him, given Feng Qingang's personality, he will definitely come to find Mu Tingyu tomorrow.

The setting sun cast its golden rays across the sky, illuminating the flowing clouds. Bei Xingze pushed open the door, and inside, the master and disciple sat in the same posture, their expressions cold and indifferent, their brows furrowed as they avoided him.

Bei Xingze first greeted Sect Leader Gu, then looked at Mu Tingyu: "Junior Brother Fuguang."

Mu Tingyu turned his head back, his eyes crinkling with a smile: "Go ahead, I'm listening."

He was handsome as jade. From the time he was poisoned to his capture, he had hardly been exposed to the sun for the past two weeks, which made his skin appear even whiter. In the soft light of the setting sun, he smiled innocently, his eyebrows and eyes seeming to have stepped out of a painting.

Bei Xingze was very frank and said directly, "The person who ordered me to capture you is going to kill you tomorrow."

Mu Tingyu paused: "Why did you kill me? What did I do to offend him?"

“He doesn’t need a reason to kill, but we’re from the same clan, and I don’t want you to die at his hands. Prepare your story tonight, and if you can appease him tomorrow, he might spare you.”

Mu Tingyu looked at Elder Gu.

Sect Master Gu closed his eyes and turned his head to the other side.

Bei Xingze said, "Junior Brother Fuguang, you'd better take care of yourself. I'll cook you a good meal later."

The door was closed again.

Mu Tingyu said, "Master, I will not be able to fulfill my filial duty to you tomorrow."

Sect Master Gu turned his head back and patted his hand: "It's alright. As long as I can return to Yeshan alive, there are plenty of people in the sect who will take care of me."

"Then you can just watch me die."

"So, you're just going to watch me die?"

Mu Tingyu laughed and said, "Hey, how did you know I wanted you to threaten that bastard Bei Xingze with your death?"

The old sect leader pointed at him and said, "You're about to die, yet you're still grinning like an idiot. You must have a backup plan."

"Master understands me best!" Mu Tingyu said in a low voice, then rolled up his sleeves and started scratching his arm.

Sect Master Gu frowned as he looked at him: "You..."

“It’s fake meat,” Mu Tingyu said.

After they were poisoned, they were stripped naked, and the clothes they are wearing now were prepared by Bei Xingze.

Mu Tingyu pried at it for a long time before finally managing to remove the fake flesh, causing him to grimace in pain.

There were five small packets of powder hidden inside, which were stuck tightly to his real flesh.

Sect Master Gu asked sternly, "Disciple, whose move are you trying to defend against?"

"It's not that I'm trying to protect you, don't worry, Yang Guanxian taught me this."

Elder Gu nodded: "Then how do we use this powder?"

"Just splash it in their faces. It will hurt like hell if it gets in their eyes, so remember to squint first."

"it is good!"

Mu Tingyu said, "If Bei Xingze didn't have someone behind him, I would have used this powder on him. When that so-called mysterious person appears tomorrow, Master, it's up to us."

"Alright, I'll use a self-inflicted injury to attract all attention, you just play your part."

"Then we run! We splash them in the faces of everyone we see!" "Yeah, splash them to death!"

As night fell, Bei Xingze brought dinner again.

Fearing he wouldn't have the energy tomorrow, Elder Gu finally picked up his chopsticks and ate his fill.

After Bei Xingze's disciple came and took away the bowls and chopsticks, the master and disciple pressed themselves against the door to listen to the sounds outside.

They actually heard it.

Bei Xingze ordered his disciples to go and purchase the necessary items first thing tomorrow morning.

The disciples were not in high spirits. A few of them asked questions with a hint of grumbling, while others echoed their sentiments.

Judging from their tone, they were all dissatisfied with Bei Xingze.

Mu Tingyu looked at Sect Master Gu, and even in the darkness, one could see that the old man had a look of satisfaction on his face.

Mu Tingyu whispered, "...Master, don't be soft-hearted when you splash them tomorrow."

Elder Gu also said in a low voice, "Didn't you hear? They've drifted apart from Bei Xingze."

“My master, betrayal is betrayal. Once you’ve betrayed someone, you can never be considered one of us again.”

Elder Master Gu frowned.

Mu Tingyu continued, "If you and Bei Xingze fell into the water, they would definitely save Bei Xingze first. That's the difference. It's true that you are the sect leader, but Bei Xingze is their master. Who is closer and who is more distant? Not to mention that they would even drug you and become your accomplices for Bei Xingze's sake."

He raised his hand and patted Elder Gu on the shoulder: "It's alright, don't be sad. That's how it is between master and disciple. I'm even closer to you, aren't I? I've recognized you as my master, so I'll definitely stand by your side!"

After a long silence, Sect Master Gu said, "Let's go and rest."

As night deepened, Mu Tingyu slept soundly, while Elder Gu leaned against a corner, his thoughts churning.

At first, Bei Xingze was worried that their bodies couldn't handle it, so he reduced the dosage of the poison and kept them poisoned for five days before finally bringing them down.

Later, when he learned that Bei Xingze's purpose was related to the disappearance of the Qingye ancestor, Elder Gu was not happy, but at least he did not think the worst about Bei Xingze.

Today, Bei Xingze said that the mysterious person wanted to kill Mu Tingyu, and that the person didn't need a reason to kill.

Bei Xingze appeared to be well-intentioned, having come specifically to discuss this matter and instructing Mu Tingyu to prepare words in advance to appease the other party. However, Elder Gu not only failed to see any kindness in him, but also felt that he had seen a callous and heartless beast.

So here's the question: if he's a beast, would such a beast really go to so much trouble to find Master Qingye, who disappeared in Zhuzhou more than two hundred years ago?

Perhaps, but certainly not for any moral reason.

If it's not for morality, then what is it for?
If it wasn't for Master Qingye, then what was it for?
Bei Xingze held a high position in the Wangxing Sect and was already very famous in Yeshan. To many people, this was already considered a "great achievement." What made him willing to give up these "great achievements" and risk his reputation to do this?

Thinking about the people Bei Xingze wanted to attract, Elder Gu felt increasingly uneasy and secretly made up his mind.

This little beast actually used the guise of Master Qingye to lure his disciples into this mess, while behind the scenes he had already colluded with that group of villains.

These villains are either hidden deep within Hengxiang, comprised of several powerful families, or "those people" who have been slaughtering the Qiao family for hundreds of years.

Or perhaps it's Tang Xiangsi, also known as Meng Sixiang, who also has her own power, though slightly less than "those people".

Finally, there is Feng Qingang.

There are only three people in the world who are known to have achieved immortality.

Soon, Sect Master Gu confirmed that it was definitely Feng Qingang!

Because this person's power is the weakest, if it were "those people" or Tang Xiangsi, they wouldn't need to use such despicable methods to brainwash and turn the disciples of the Wangxing Sect against them. After all, this matter is risky; if even one person disagrees, the secret could be leaked.

Sect Master Gu narrowed his eyes; it was Feng Qingang.
