I, a minor character, fell into the Shura field of the heroine and the villain

Even people who are not very familiar with the food start to clink glasses after eating these delicious ingredients.

"Senior Nangong, I hope you don't take to heart what I said before. I toast you with this glass of wine." Mu Wanyi toasted the elder with an impeccable smile.

There was no hatred between them in the first place, it was just some unimportant things, which seem ridiculous when you think about it now.

Nangong Ruyun accepted her toast and they both drank it in one gulp.

Then Zhao Kangping also toasted her, and he simply said something like "I wish Aunt Yun good health."

As a result, Mu Wanyi kicked him under the table, and then he noticed the look in his senior sister's eyes.

Although they had not yet been married, they already had the tacit understanding of an old married couple. He immediately understood the meaning of his senior sister's eyes: she felt that his words were too perfunctory.

Zhao Kangping immediately reorganized his words and said, "Aunt Yun, I'm really glad you can come this time. We haven't gotten together in many years, and I didn't expect that this time... Hey, Aunt Yun, is there really no other way?"

Of course, he was referring to her health problems. After all, Aunt Yun was also his mother's good friend and an important elder to him.

When he was a child, Aunt Yun took good care of him.

He was only seven years old when he lost his parents. If it weren't for Aunt Yun's protection, he might not have survived.

Later, it was thanks to the clues provided by Aunt Yun that he had the opportunity to find the murderer and take revenge.

It can be said that Aunt Yun is not only his relative, but also his benefactor.

No matter what, he didn't want to see her die.

"It's not that there is no other way. This... let's eat hot pot first, and I'll tell you in private later." This time she gave in, giving Zhao Kangping some hope.

She thought about it carefully and realized that perhaps they didn't have to go that far to detoxify. She had felt the pure Yang energy in Zhao Kangping's body, and that extremely strong and pure Yang energy seemed to be very effective in suppressing the cold poison.

Perhaps her problem can be solved without having to have the most in-depth communication like a Taoist couple.

When Zhao Kangping heard that there was a way, his frown immediately relaxed.

Next, everyone ate and drank, chatting and laughing while eating hot pot.

Bai Qianqian was a little tipsy, she suddenly sat up and wanted to play the flute to entertain everyone.

In front of most people, she is a quiet music girl, but few people know that she also has a straightforward side.

When she said she wanted to play, she really took out the flute and started playing it.

She is indeed very talented in music theory and even incorporates music into her battles.

Le Xiu was not considered strong in this era, and most of the time she could only play a supporting role on the battlefield, but she still resolutely became a Le Dao monk.

Perhaps her love for music took over.

In fact, this has something to do with her biological mother. Her biological mother was a young lady from an official family with a distinguished family background.

However, her family got into trouble and her mother was sent to the Jiaofangsi when she was very young. Many years later, her mother became a famous courtesan.

The courtesan was proficient in various musical instruments and was an expert in the field.

Later, Bai Qianqian's biological father married this courtesan despite his family's opposition.

When the girl was little, she often listened to her mother playing various kinds of music, and she developed a strong interest in various musical instruments. Because of this, she always thinks of her mother when she plays various instruments.

Bai Qianqian's music was pleasant to the ears, as thin as a gossamer, and like a trickle of water flowing into the hearts of everyone present.

Her music is very contagious, as if everyone's soft heart will be touched by her flute.

The night is quiet, and the sound of the flute comes with the evening breeze. It does not seem noisy at all, but instead calms people's restless hearts.

After the song, Bai Qianqian bowed to everyone. Perhaps she remembered something sad, and she began to sob softly.

"What's wrong with you?" The first person to react was Luo Xueqing, her friend and enemy.

Luo Xueqing walked forward and supported Bai Qianqian, looking at her carefully.

But Bai Qianqian didn't appreciate the kindness of her rival. She pushed Luo Xueqing's hand away and said, "I'm fine."

Instead, Mu Wanyi quietly walked over, grabbed her disciple's hand, and softly asked, "What's wrong?"

"I, I miss my mother. Wuuuu!" The girl fell into her master's arms, resting her head on her majestic chest, and burst into tears.

Chapter 163 This thing is too fishy

The hotpot dinner was gradually coming to an end and everyone was full.

Yaohua Palace has not been so lively for many years, and this time it can be said that both the guests and the hosts had a great time.

It was finally time to leave.

Nangong Ruyun was the first to suggest leaving.

Zhao Kangping and Mu Wanyi also tried to persuade her to stay, but she was determined to leave, so no one forced her.

The second one appeared soon after, it was the Saint Bai Qianqian.

She had just become a Saint, and the burden on her shoulders was not light. Mu Wanyi had told her that after becoming a Saint, she would have to start taking on the responsibilities of a Saint and learn from the Holy Lord how to manage the Holy Land.

Don't think you can slack off just because you become a saint.

The Holy Maiden of Zi Yang Holy Land is not fixed.

If in the following period, Bai Qianqian fails in her duties, or if someone questions her ability and challenges her, her position may be shaken.

Even after becoming a saint, my senior sister had no peace, but she successfully slapped many doubters in the face and overcame all obstacles to maintain her position.

Now the only people present were Zhao Kangping, Mu Wanyi, Luo Xueqing, Zhao Mengyao and Dongfang Jingrou.

They cleaned up the mess together.

Zhao Kangping was a little surprised that Dongfang Jingrou had joined in. He had thought her hands were only used for holding a knife. Now she was sweeping the floor with a broom, and she looked quite good doing it.

When they were almost done packing, Mu Wanyi suddenly said, "Xueqing, Mengyao, your master and I have something to discuss. You should go back first."

Luo Xueqing looked at the steaming hot pot on the dining table. She hesitated for a moment and said, "How about I take this pot and wash it?"

"No need, you guys go back first." Mu Wanyi insisted.

Luo Xueqing scratched her head. She still didn't offer any other opinions, but nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back to practice."

Zhao Mengyao was more straightforward. She had no objection and just left.

Dongfang Jingrou also wanted to leave. She thought that the Holy Lord had something private to say to Zhao Kangping, and it would not be convenient for her to be present.

Unexpectedly, Mu Wanyi grabbed her hand and motioned her to stay.

After Zhao Kangping's two disciples left, Dongfang Jingrou asked in confusion, "Saint Lord, what is this?"

"Before we had hot pot, didn't you say you had something to talk to me about?"

"Yes, but..." She glanced at Zhao Kangping beside her, and he turned away.

Mu Wanyi covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes narrowed into crescents as she said, "It's okay, he can be trusted."

Then Dongfang Jingrou began to report her work.

It turned out that her senior sister had asked her to investigate people who had close contacts with Shao Yang and his wife in previous years.

After investigation, it was found that the couple really had no contact with other people in the holy land.

At most, only some inner sect elders had traded magical instruments from the Yuqiong Palace.

However, the transaction amount was very small, and it was not a transaction in which Shao Yang and his wife personally participated. It was just that one of his direct disciples created a magic weapon.

Mu Wanyi originally wanted to use this investigation to see if there was anyone else involved with the couple.

It seems that the results of the investigation are not ideal.

Either there is really no one colluding with them, or what they did in secret was so covert that it was not discovered.

Mu Wanyi also wanted the former possibility, but reality would not change according to her will.

"Senior Sister, I don't think we should waste too much energy on this matter. Instead of spending time looking for this traitor who we are not even sure exists, I think we should strengthen ourselves." Zhao Kangping expressed his opinion.

The holy land has existed for tens of thousands of years and has a very glorious history.

But the holy land is certainly not in its heyday now.

After the Gu worm crisis caused by Wu Sangyan and the chaos caused by Fang Quan, although the foundation of the Holy Land was not damaged, many problems were exposed.

Flies don't bite seamless eggs. If the Ziyang Holy Land were as solid as a rock, with no loopholes to exploit, it would be difficult for anyone to infiltrate, and no one would dare to cause trouble within the Holy Land.

Today's Ziyang Holy Land is like a treasure ship sailing in the vast ocean. It looks magnificent, but it is already riddled with holes.

The Holy Land was divided into many factions, each with its own interests. Some relied on their seniority and might not even give the Holy Lord face, which also caused divisions within the Holy Land.

This wasn't a recent problem, but had existed since the early days of the Holy Land, as the Ziyang Holy Land had absorbed many sects in its early days.

As a righteous holy land, Zi Yang Holy Land naturally could not kill all the backbone members of these recruited sects. Instead, it gave them corresponding status. All they had to do was to be loyal to the holy land and support the Holy Lord.

It's just that the previous generations of Holy Lords were very powerful and had a very high reputation, and the people under them were also very submissive. They might have conflicts with each other, or create some minor opposition, but they were still very obedient to the Holy Lord.

It is not easy to completely integrate the holy land. Mu Wanyi has tried, but she has given up now.

"That's true." Mu Wanyi thought for a moment, but then shook her head.

"How can it be easy? It is already very difficult to practice further from the Void Refinement Stage. It may take decades to advance to a small realm." Unless there is a great opportunity, not an ordinary opportunity, to quickly advance, she would not consider it.

Zhao Kangping really wanted to say that it was not necessarily necessary to let his senior sister improve her strength.

In fact, developing the strength of her people was also a solution. He believed that he could also be a helper to his senior sister in the future. However, saying it out loud sounded like bragging, so he didn't mention it.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about something happy." Perhaps because she felt that talking about this was a bit heavy, Mu Wanyi took the initiative to end the topic.

"I plan to let you, my junior brother, be the new mayor of Chuanliu City." She had told Zhao Kangping about this a long time ago, and this time she said it specifically to Dongfang Jingrou.

Zhao Kangping also understood her intention, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "What? Let me be the city lord? But I have no experience."

"Don't worry about that. I've already made arrangements. You just need to take up a position there, and someone will assist you in handling city affairs." Then she suddenly placed her hand on Dongfang Jingrou's shoulder and said, "Jingrou, I trust you more, so I plan to have you assist him in managing Chuanliu City."

The moment she heard the news, Dongfang Jingrou's eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly lowered her eyebrows and did not express any opinion.

She had always been like this, never questioning the Lord's decisions. She was a loyal subordinate, simply carrying out the Lord's orders.

With just one word from Mu Wanyi, Dongfang Jingrou went from being her senior sister's secretary to his secretary.

Zhao Kangping noticed Dongfang Jingrou's expression.

Uh, no expression, just a cold face.

It stands to reason that a person's energy is definitely limited. If she stayed in Chuanliu City as Zhao's secretary, she would no longer be able to serve as the chief steward of the Holy Lord Temple.

Working in Chuanliu City is definitely not as prestigious as working by the side of the Holy Lord.

This is tantamount to demotion, and anyone would feel resentful.

But Dongfang Jingrou did not show any dissatisfaction at all, and did not even express any doubts about the arrangement proposed by the Holy Lord.

Maybe the senior sister has already informed her privately and asked for her opinion.

In reality, Zhao Kangping didn't want to have a spy planted by his senior sister around him. It felt like she had stripped his underwear clean, even though she had indeed stripped his underwear clean in real life.

Mu Wanyi: "A Ping, what do you think?"

"Since Senior Sister has made all the arrangements, let's do it." He didn't show any abnormality.

Before, he was worried that his senior sister would worry that he and Dongfang Jingrou were getting too close, which would make her jealous.

But senior sister didn't show any of this at all, probably because she trusted Dongfang Jingrou very much.

He originally thought that there would be no problem with his answer.

Mu Wanyi's small hand suddenly rested on his waist, gently caressing his soft flesh. This small action was very subtle. Dongfang Jingrou, who was standing by, couldn't see it due to the angle.

What's going on? I haven't done anything yet, and you're going to pinch me again?

Then she said, "Jingrou is a very nice person, but you can't bully her."

The senior sister's eyes turned cold, with a dangerous smile on her face, and the little hand that reached out to his waist really pinched him.

Wozhi, if you were worried, why did you leave her with me?

He wanted to complain, but he didn't dare say it in front of her.

Senior sister was obviously warning him not to think that just because she arranged for Dongfang Jingrou to help him, Dongfang Jingrou would become his.
