Who cares about childhood sweethearts when they can become immortals?

Chapter 186 Abandoned Son
After hearing from Baili Haikou that Xiao Qiongfeng was arrogant, Xu Ji felt that something was wrong. After hearing that Xiao Qionggui had started to contact the Xiao family's industry, this strange feeling became even more intense. strong.

Although this is not surprising to Baili Hai and others. After all, one is responsible for cultivation and the other is responsible for earning resources to help the family become stronger. However, the premise is that the two should support each other. Yes, but Xiao Qionggui wanted to stab Xiao Qiongfeng to death as soon as possible and then take the position himself.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Qionggui frowned slightly and asked in a cold voice. With Xiao Qiongfeng's trust in him now, Xiao Qionggui didn't feel that he needed to be careful. His eyes and ears were all over Xiao Qiongfeng. All around, no matter what he plans to do, he will not escape his eyes.

"Senior Xiao Qionggui, when did you come up with the idea of ​​replacing Xiao Qiongfeng as the next head of the Xiao family?" Xu Ji continued to ask without answering Xiao Qionggui's words.

"The idea of ​​replacing Xiao Qiongfeng?" Xiao Qionggui was stunned for a moment, seeming to be lost in memories. He seemed to have had this idea since he embarked on the path of cultivation, and after breaking through the foundation building and gradually getting in touch with the family's industry After coming into contact with more people and things, the idea of ​​replacing Xiao Qiongfeng became stronger and stronger, and I contacted many people to find support, so that I could find an opportunity to successfully replace Xiao Qiongfeng in the future.

Xiao Qionggui shook his head and said: "I can't remember clearly, but isn't it normal for me to want to replace him? It's just to protect myself."

Xu Ji twitched the corner of his mouth, ignored the self-deception in Xiao Qionggui's words, and continued: "Generally speaking, if you, senior, had shown the slightest thought of replacing Xiao Qiongfeng earlier, the Xiao family would not It is very likely that you will be exposed to the Xiao family's industry. After all, if you are alone, even if you have thousands of ideas in your mind, you will never be able to implement them. "

"But if you come into contact with the Xiao family's industry and other factions scattered throughout the Xiao family's industry, if these people don't want Xiao Qiongfeng, of course the family owner will choose to contact you and cooperate with you, and this will naturally happen. Increase your strength, and strength fuels ambition. With the addition of these people, your desire to replace Xiao Qiongfeng will become more and more powerful."

Xiao Qionggui is not a fool. Hearing what Xu Ji said, he realized that something was wrong. Naturally, he would not show any malice against Xiao Qiongfeng now, but what about when he first embarked on the path of cultivating immortals more than ten years ago? ? I was still young at that time, could I really hide my thoughts in the Xiao family and prevent anyone from discovering it?

If his thoughts have been penetrated long ago, but he comes into contact with the Xiao family's industry and other factions that have malicious intentions towards Xiao Qiongfeng...

Xiao Qionggui began to feel faintly in his heart, shook his head and said: "No, after all, I am the second child of the Xiao family to enter the Xianling Taoist Academy, so as an abandoned son, the price will be too high. ”

Xu Ji looked at Xiao Qionggui quietly, knowing that he already understood the fate of his abandoned son, but was still deceiving himself, so he directly revealed: "If your talent is not high enough, how can other factions dare to take advantage of you?" Note? If you can’t bear the child, where can you trap the wolf?”

Xiao Qionggui was able to reach the fifth level of foundation building after twelve years of schooling. This speed is also top-notch among Xianling Taoist Academy. Although the further the foundation building stage is, the longer the training time is, there is a twenty-year age difference between him and Xiao Qiongfeng. , if given another twenty years, his realm would certainly be able to reach the eighth level of foundation building, at least not weaker than Xiao Qiongfeng.

However, Xu Ji was not surprised by this. When he fought with Xiao Qionggui, Xu Ji had already noticed that he had practiced the secret art of mortal transformation, and since other factions of the Xiao family were betting on Xiao Qionggui, they would naturally The investment of resources will not be less, otherwise if his strength is too weak, how can he deal with Xiao Qiongfeng?
In just a blink of an eye, the spiritual pressure that enveloped the cave was restrained by Xiao Qionggui. Xiao Qionggui seemed to have regained his former composure and smiled apologetically: "Junior Xu Ji laughed at this, and his heart was agitated for a moment before he could restrain himself. Keep your own spiritual pressure."

Xiao Qionggui's mind was shaken, and he relaxed the suppression of his own spiritual energy for a moment. A huge spiritual pressure appeared in Xu Ji's cave. Xu Ji raised his eyebrows, thinking that from Xiao Qionggui's spiritual pressure It seems that it has reached the fifth level of foundation building.

Of course, a realm is a realm, and combat power is a combat power. Even if they are in the same realm, there is a gap. Xu Ji guesses that even if Xiao Qionggui is in the same realm as Xiao Qiongfeng, his combat power will not be as good as Xiao Qiongfeng, otherwise Xiao Qiongfeng Other factions of the family will not bet on Xiao Qionggui, in order not to choose a weaker family leader to give their own faction an advantage.

Xu Ji smiled half-heartedly: "It seems that Senior Xiao Qionggui's secrets are deeper than I thought."

Xiao Qionggui's lips also evoked a touch of bitterness, and he said: "So what if I hide it? Have I not become the abandoned son in the family who clears the way for Xiao Qiongfeng? Haha, use me as bait to attract all the factions with different intentions. , and then wait until the time is right to liquidate it in one fell swoop? A good method, really a good method.”

Xu Ji was silent for a while, then she quietly added: "Senior Xiao Qionggui, do you think it's possible that you come to me this time to ambush Xiao Qiongfeng in the secret realm of inheritance? Is this also part of their plan? Will my senior sister go there? The news of the riot in the Xiao family may not have been revealed to you without the idea of ​​letting you take me and my senior sister into the secret realm of inheritance, and then Xiao Qiongfeng can take advantage of this opportunity to take down all three of us in one fell swoop. Not only After clearing out the disloyal factions in the family, we can take over hundreds of families and naturally ascend to the position of family leader. "

Xiao Qionggui's pupils shrank slightly. From this point of view, perhaps his contact with Xu Ji was part of Xiao Qiongfeng's calculations early on. He might have wanted to use him as a bait to use his last remaining energy. Xiao Qionggui thought in his mind, thinking about persuading Xu Ji to enter the secret realm of inheritance this time to help him fight against Xiao Qiongfeng, but he thought that Xu Ji was unwilling to go to the secret realm of inheritance before when he had the advantage. Now he knows that all this is in Xiao Qiong After being caught up in Feng's plan, he would definitely be even more unwilling to take risks.

"Senior Xiao Qionggui, if you are troubled, why not listen to my advice?" Xu Ji smiled and interrupted the silence.

Xiao Qionggui looked at Xu Ji like a drowning man grabbing the last straw. Xu Ji had analyzed his true situation before, so if it was Xu Ji, he might really be able to find a chance to help him, so Xiao Qionggui asked impatiently: "Please tell me quickly."

"If Xiao Qiongfeng really plans to take action in the secret realm of inheritance, it means that he must be fully prepared. Even if you use all your trump cards, it will be useless. That's why he hopes that you can bring me and my senior sister in together. Then kill us all," Xu Ji said quietly, "Even if you now know these plans and continue to supplement your trump cards, how do you know whether the trump cards you prepared will be exposed to Xiao Qiongfeng's eyes. ? Sudden changes will make them alert. ”

Xiao Qionggui thought for a while and nodded in agreement. He had indeed prepared some trump cards just now so that he could fight with Xiao Qiongfeng in the worst possible way. But as Xu Ji said, if he had been in his calculations from the beginning, , it is hard to guarantee that there are no informants around you. If there is a sudden and abnormal behavior, it will arouse their alertness, and then there will really be no room to look back.

"So, Xu Ji, what you want is for me to keep things as usual, not to make any changes, but to pretend not to notice anything?" Xiao Qionggui said.

Xu Ji shook his head and said with a slight smile: "Even if you pretend not to notice anything, how can you ensure that Xiao Qiongfeng will not attack you?"

"What should we do?" Xiao Qionggui couldn't help but continue to ask.

Xu Ji replied: "You need to find a way for Xiao Qiongfeng to detect that you have conspired with me to take action against him in the secret realm of inheritance, and you also need to let him find out that I will not enter the secret realm of inheritance this time. ”

"In this case, he will be worried that he will arouse your vigilance after attacking me, and choose to give up this opportunity." Xiao Qionggui's eyes lit up slightly. If this is the case, it is really possible to use Xiao Qiongfeng to attack Xu Ji. Don't worry about letting yourself escape.

"But you can't reveal this news. You need to let Xiao Qiongfeng's people around you detect the news, so that they can find it credible." Xu Ji added, "If it is too obvious, It may also arouse his suspicion.”

Xiao Qionggui fell silent and began to think about its feasibility. The only difficulty for him with the method proposed by Xu Ji was that he needed to find the eyes Xiao Qiongfeng placed beside him, but Xiao Qionggui did not continue to ask Xu Ji How should the eyes be found.

Originally, he was able to form an alliance with Xu Ji because they needed each other's help. But judging from the current situation, everything he detected was only what Xiao Qiongfeng asked him to detect. In this way, he could not do anything for Xu Ji. By providing intelligence assistance, the alliance between the two would naturally be unable to be maintained.

The idea that Xu Ji gave him now was both an idea and a test. Only by finding the eyes beside him could he ensure that he was still useful to Xu Ji and that the alliance would not be broken. On the contrary, if he could not find the eyes, He could only face Xiao Qiongfeng head-on.

However, if Xu Ji is lost and left to face Xiao Qiongfeng, his chances of winning are almost non-existent. After all, everything he has now may always be under Xiao Qiongfeng's gaze, just waiting for the final reckoning. Xu Ji is now The only variable that appears is that if you can't grasp it, you will die.

Therefore, even if Xiao Qionggui may choose to find a reason not to enter the secret realm of inheritance this time to avoid this fatal knot, he must act according to Xu Ji's plan, so that he can pass Xu Ji's assessment and prove his worth.

"I understand, Xu Ji."
