Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 119 What Will He Do?

Buried Sword Valley, New Porcelain Courtyard.

This place is located in a remote part of the valley, seldom visited by people, and it is also a rare place where you can touch the sea of ​​clouds.

As the place where Song Xinci practiced in seclusion, the villa is located on the top of the mountain, surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds. The surrounding scenery is like ink-splashed mountains and rivers, like a fairyland.

One day, Zhuque came here and discussed with Song Xinci how to find out the spy in the valley.

According to Zhuque's recollection, it was the stinky beggar who had dragged her and Xuanjiao into the trap. But the problem was who had told the stinky beggar that Song Xinci had dispersed her cultivation and gone to the nameless town to cultivate her mind.

Song Xinci was born in an unnamed town and naturally had a special attachment to it. However, when she was only six years old, she was discovered by her grandfather, Qiu Feng, who brought her back to the Buried Sword Valley without explanation to begin her training.

Therefore, few people in the valley knew Song Xinci's origins. Most people only knew that she was the daughter of the former Saint Qiu Qinglian.

The only people who knew that the nameless town had special significance for Song Xinci were Qiu Feng, Xiu Niang and Nian Nujiao.

Even Zhuque was kept in the dark about the situation at that time. It was not because Song Xinci did not trust Zhuque, but because she was worried that her soul would be searched by someone with ulterior motives, and the secret would naturally be exposed.

As Song Xinci's grandfather, Qiu Feng could not be a spy, otherwise, as he said himself, there would be a better way to get rid of his granddaughter.

Xiu Niang and Nian Nujiao are the left and right sword servants of the Burial Sword Valley. They have reached the Return to Void Realm and their status is even higher than the four guardians.

The key point is that these two people watched Song Xinci grow up and have a close relationship with her, so Song Xinci has never wanted to point the finger at them.

If it were someone else, Song Xinci would probably search the soul directly as soon as she had any suspicion. As for any sequelae or the possibility of wrongly accusing the other party, these were not things she cared about.

Only Xiu Niang and Nian Nujiao were different. Song Xinci even secretly hoped that there was someone else who was the traitor. Perhaps someone had accidentally overheard her and Qiu Feng planning the Heart Refining Bureau.

After Zhuque returned to the Burial Sword Valley, he followed the agreement with Song Xinci and first used a unified rhetoric to fool Qiu Feng, trying to minimize his attention to Yun Yi.

Another thing is to test the embroiderer.

Zhuque reported, "I see that the embroiderer is doing fine, and she even made us some new clothes. My lady, the embroiderer raised us both since we were little. She wouldn't betray the Buried Sword Valley, would she?"

Song Xinci said, "Nian Nujiao is only a few years younger than Xiu Niang. She was the one who initiated us in cultivation. Logically, she wouldn't be a spy."

"So I'm worried that if we continue investigating like this, it might cause the Sword Burial Valley, which was originally peaceful, to fall apart."

"I naturally took this into consideration, so I couldn't conduct a large-scale investigation, and I certainly couldn't let them know."

Zhuque took the clothes again and put them in the closet, his face full of worry: "So what should we do next?"

Song Xinci held her chin in her hand and thought for a moment before muttering, "What do you think Yun Yi would do if he were here?"

"Yun Yi? He's full of schemes and tricks. He's sure to come up with a solution that satisfies both sides."

Speaking of Yun Yi, Zhuque felt inexplicably guilty, because when they parted, Yun Yi asked him to be careful with Nian Nujiao, but did not tell him why.

He only said that an immortal had told him in a dream that Nian Nujiao would sneak attack and kill Zhuque.

These words were truly heartbreaking, causing Zhuque to be unable to sleep well for several days. He often struggled with whether or not to reveal this matter to Song Xinci.

But she didn't do it after all, because Yun Yi had told her that this matter needed to be kept secret. Since she and Yun Yi had known each other, there had been more than one "secret" thing. If she said too much, there would be more mistakes, and it might even make Song Xinci suspicious, so it was better to keep it secret.

Song Xinci pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to him.

……

Recently, a strange rumor has suddenly spread everywhere in the Sword Burial Valley, and it seems to be spreading like wildfire.

The rumor was very vivid. It said that the Valley Master had gone to Fuyao Sect to cause trouble a while ago, and ended up provoking the former leader of Fuyao Sect, Lingyun.

No one expected that Ling Yun not only had not yet achieved his death, but had also advanced to the Ascension Realm, and was able to severely injure the Valley Master with just one sword.

Although Song Xinci had great magical powers and escaped from the clutches of the Ascension Realm, his avenue was damaged as a result and he has not been able to recover yet. Now he can only recuperate in seclusion in the other courtyard.

Lingyun is at the Ascension Realm. The Valley Master was hit by a sword from that person. I don’t know when the injury will heal!
In addition to this, there was another thing, that is, Song Xinci somehow made the old valley master angry, and the two of them actually fought at Wanjian Cliff.

It was said that the Demon Lord was about to come out of seclusion, and the old Valley Master wanted to find a marriage for the Valley Master, but the Valley Master refused, saying that he already had a lover.

These words made the old valley master very angry, otherwise he would not have taught his granddaughter a lesson.

As a result, the Buried Sword Valley was abuzz with discussion, with the most discussed being who Song Xinci was truly devoted to: the righteous sect or the demonic sect? Could it be that, like Qiu Qinglian, she had fallen in love with a righteous disciple?

When these two pieces of news reached Nian Nujiao's ears, they had other deeper meanings.

As the Right Sword Attendant of the Buried Sword Valley, she has been practicing in the valley for decades. Not only does she have a close relationship with the old valley master Qiu Feng, she is even a good sister to Qiu Qinglian back then.

Therefore, she has a very high status and is considered the number one person under the Valley Master. Usually when Song Xinci is in seclusion practicing, she is the one who takes care of the affairs in the valley.

Nian Nujiao loves peonies the most. The Sword Burial Valley was originally barren, but now there are many more colors in the valley, all of which are her work.

She wore a long-sleeved skirt, black and red, with peony patterns on it. Her age was a mystery, and no one dared to ask.

But seeing her skin as smooth as cream and her eyes as affectionate and moving, I feel that age is not that important.

Nian Nujiao was taking care of the most delicate "Golden Silk Pendant" in the valley. She moved her bare hands lightly and cut off a section of unnecessary branches.

"To be frank, the rumors in the valley are about two different things. The latter was most likely spread by Suzaku to cover up the former."

"Song Xinci is cultivating the Supreme Forgetfulness and recently entered the Hedao Realm. How could she possibly be attracted to an ordinary man? From what I can see, it's true that she was severely injured by the Ascension Realm."

"She must be worried that her injury would get out and attract enemies, so she deliberately used the marriage as a cover-up."

Nian Nujiao believed that her guess was absolutely correct because she also received a tip-off that Song Xinci had appeared in Crescent City and was almost involved in the dispute over the Tiger Tally.

If she was in good health, given her personality, she would definitely take action to snatch the treasure instead of just standing by and watching!
Combining a lot of information, Nian Nujiao finally confirmed one thing, that is, Song Xinci was indeed seriously injured. The injury of the Great Dao cannot be healed easily, and ordinary elixirs are probably useless.

I originally thought that she had entered the Hedao realm, and it would be even more difficult to take action against her from now on, but now it seems that I have a good opportunity.

When she thought of this, Nian Nujiao's eyes suddenly lit up and she decided to go find the embroiderer to talk to her.

　I'm a bit busy at the end of the year, so I can only write 4,000 words today. Sorry, sorry~~
