Ruan Li went to Ruan Lingtian's tomb in Penglai alone. Over the years, only Ruan Li would come to worship on time. For other Penglai disciples, the name Ruan Lingtian was already very unfamiliar. They only remembered Mu Xiaoting, the head of Penglai, and they didn't remember him. Knowing that Ruan Lingtian was Mu Xiaoting's senior brother, the position of head should have been passed to him.

The tomb is simply decorated, surrounded by a circle of pale yellow wildflowers, which Ruan Li planted when she was a child. It looks messy because no one has taken care of it, but it is full of vitality.

Ruan Li stood in front of the grave for a while, expressionlessly digging the grave and digging the coffin. As she expected, the coffin was empty.

Mu Xiaoting was entirely responsible for Ruan Lingtian's burial. Ruan Li didn't believe that he didn't know about the weirdness of the coffin.

She sneered and went to find Mu Xiaoting as she planned.

Mu Xiaoting seemed to have known for a long time that she would come and what she wanted to ask. His expression was very calm and he said, "Sit down."

Ruan Li stood still, too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and asked straight to the point, "Did you send my father to the Taiyin Realm?"

Mu Xiaoting did not answer. He raised his head and looked at her quietly, with some scrutiny in his eyes. He was very surprised by Ruan Li's changes now. He thought that her talent was mediocre and could not make any big waves. Unexpectedly, It was him who overestimated things. If he had known this, he should not have agreed to her leaving Penglai in the first place.

He was sloppy.

But the girl Ruan Li grew up, the more she looked like her father. When Mu Xiaoting faced her, he could always think of his young and flamboyant senior brother. He could not treat this child with a normal heart.

"It is true that your father's bones are not in Penglai, but I don't know why he appeared in the Taiyin Realm." Mu Xiaoting looked back and explained calmly.

Of course he couldn't admit this, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain his motives and purposes. Even if Ruan Li was suspicious, it was useless because she didn't have enough evidence.

Ruan Li felt extremely disgusted when she saw him lying but still acting frank. She had never thought that her master would be such a person.

She turned to ask about another matter, "My father sent a letter to Penglai before his accident. You were already the head of Penglai at that time. The letter should be in your hands. What is the content of the letter?"

She was almost certain that the letter should be telling Mu Xiaoting about the red ambergris. Ruan Lingtian trusted this junior brother who had grown up together and would not hide such a big thing from him.

Mu Xiaoting knew that red ambergris could repair the Tongtian Pillar more than ten years ago, but no one told him.

"Letter?" Mu Xiaoting said calmly, "It's probably just a greeting letter from home. I can't remember it clearly."

Ruan Li smiled, not surprised by his attitude. This man was determined to fool him and would not admit anything, but this only made her more convinced that he did those things.

They even began to doubt whether Ruan Lingtian's death was really because he was seriously injured in the Taiyin world. When Ruan Lingtian returned to Penglai with his two babies, he still wanted to send Nangong back after settling Ruan Li. His injuries were really Is it so heavy that you can't save it?Why was Nangong, who was supposed to stay with Ruan Lingtian, abandoned at the foot of Tianjimen Mountain?

Ruan Li thought about it carefully and thought that Mu Xiaoting might have taken advantage of the situation to attack Ruan Lingtian. Ruan Lingtian must have sent Nangong away deliberately because he knew he couldn't take care of it. Otherwise, if it fell into Mu Xiaoting's hands, he would only Cutting off the roots.

If Ruan Lingtian's return to Penglai hadn't been known to everyone from the beginning, and Ruan Li couldn't hide her whereabouts in public, I'm afraid she wouldn't have lived for more than ten years.

"Uncle," Ruan Li called him "Uncle" according to his father's seniority. His tone was cold and without any emotion at all, "My father is full of doubts from the time he was injured to the whereabouts of his body. Now that I know it, I will not ignore it. Logically speaking, I will continue to investigate in Penglai these days, and I will also inform the Immortal Alliance about this matter. What do you think of me handling it this way?"

She meant to make things worse. The Immortal Alliance knew about it, and other sects would naturally know about it. Those people were not stupid, and suspicious eyes would naturally focus on Mu Xiaoting.He has been the head of Penglai for hundreds of years and has always cherished his reputation. He never thought that one day he would become the center of everyone's discussion. Moreover, if those things back then had to be investigated, there might not be no clues.

Mu Xiaoting took a sip of tea, his expression obscured by the mist, and said without any strangeness, "Of course."

After the tea had cooled down, Mu Xiaoting still maintained the posture of putting the tea cup into his mouth, but did not move for a long time.

"boom!"

The entire case was overturned, and the tea cup was crushed into powder in an instant. Mu Xiaoting's face turned black and his emotions fluctuated so much that his facial features were distorted, making him look a bit scary.

"Master..." Ning Huaishu saw such a scene when he came and was startled by Mu Xiaoting's almost ferocious face. He had never seen Mu Xiaoting look like this before. The dark color in the room is somewhat similar to Mu Qi at certain times.

After all, these father and son are the same kind of people.

A frightening glance glanced at Ning Huaishu. Mu Xiaoting calmed his breathing and turned his head slightly, "What's the matter?"

Ning Huaishu lowered his head subconsciously, not daring to meet his eyes, and said cautiously, "Nangonghe said that based on the direction pointed by the breath-discriminating ruler, the red ambergris might be in Xubao Pavilion, so I want to check it out."

There are many treasures in Xubao Pavilion, ranging from spiritual herbs and elixirs to various magical weapons. It is the most tightly guarded place in Penglai and the foundation of Penglai. For hundreds of years, only Mu Xiaoting can enter.

Mu Xiaoting didn't speak for a while.

For some reason, Ning Huaishu's heart felt tight. He had been with Mu Xiaoting for so long and was the most familiar with him. In the past, he only felt that the master was stern, but now he felt a kind of frightening uneasiness.

"Let them go."

Mu Xiaoting said quietly, "Since it is the intention of the Immortal Alliance, I should facilitate them. You and Qingyang go together and look after them carefully."

As he spoke, he taught him the key formula for dismantling the Subao Pavilion's protective formation.

Ning Huaishu responded and respectfully bowed and left.

Mu Xiaoting suddenly stopped him, "Has Qi'er been mentally unstable recently?"

He had put great effort into cultivating Mu Qi and had placed high hopes on him, but obviously, Mu Qi now disappointed Mu Xiaoting.

Ning Huaishu was close to Mu Qi, so he naturally noticed his changes during this period. When Mu Xiaoting asked, he answered honestly, "Yes, Senior Brother Mu experienced another advancement failure in the Taiyin Realm. ."

That advancement was driven by pills, but it still failed. One can imagine the great impact on Mu Qi's state of mind. (End of chapter)
