Chapter 276: Eradication of suspicion, the palace wins over (please subscribe)
Before the Wolf Slayer Taoist came to provoke him, Wei Tu had already released the news that he was in seclusion.
Therefore, when he returned to the Fenshan tribe, except for Yan Yu, the alchemy boy who was close to him, no one knew that Wei Tu had also gone out after Taoist Master Zhanlang left.
“Miss Yan, Taoist Taoist Wolf Slayer has been killed by Wei Mou. Your grievance has been repaid.”
On the seventh floor of the pagoda, in the alchemy room, Wei Tu patted the storage bag and took out the dead body of Taoist Wolf Slayer.
"What?"
“Is Taoist Master Zhan Lang dead?”
Yan Yu was shocked when she heard this. She thought that Wei Tu would suffer a big loss if he went after Taoist Wolf this time. Unexpectedly, Wei Tu directly killed Taoist Wolf Slayer.
And there were no obvious injuries on his body!
“High Priest, have you ever been injured?” Yan Yu asked quickly with tears in her eyes.
From her point of view, the reason why Wei Tu desperately chased Taoist Wolf Slayer was directly related to the slap that Taoist Wolf Slayer slapped her.
Besides her late immortal master Mu Feng, the only one who could care about her so much was Wei Tu.
Hear this sentence.
Wei Tu nodded slightly, understanding that High Priest Mu Feng had kept his agreement with him during his lifetime. Before his death, he did not reveal his true strength to Yan Yu either openly or secretly.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Yan Yu to show such sincere concern for him.
—Golden elixir monks who cultivate both body and law are comparable to those in the middle stage of the golden elixir in terms of strength.
"I'm fine, I only suffered a minor injury." Wei Tu thought for a moment and said.
With the third level of physical training, it is difficult for him to be injured in the fight between monks of the same level. But once injured, it is a serious injury that is difficult to treat.
However, in front of Yan Yu, he couldn't say that he had killed a strong man of the same level without even being injured at all, and he had captured him alive not long after the battle.
"I will never be able to repay you for this kindness." Yan Yu bowed her head and said in a concentrated voice.
Hearing Yan Yu's words, Wei Tu shook his head. Without saying anything, he stepped forward and helped Yan Yu up from the ground.
"You know what Taoist Master Killed the Wolf and I know, and it must not be spread outside. When others ask, just say that I am in seclusion, and don't say much about other things."
“If others ask, just tell me.”
At this time, Wei Tu got down to business.
Strength is the best evidence to clear his suspicion.
Even though he has a grudge against Taoist Master Zhanlang, as a person who is not good at fighting in the eyes of the cultivators of the Ying Ding Tribe, he is the least suspected person.
Besides, in the final analysis, Master Zhanlang is just a guest in Prince Youxian's palace, which is very different from him who is the "high priest" of the tribe.
After death, there is no value anymore.
No one would think of avenging him.
Taoist Wolf Slayer is dead. Even if King Youxian's second prince still wants to use him as a **** to influence Yuan Jie and others, he will not rashly put Taoist Wolf Slayer's death on his head without any evidence. superior.
This is a taboo!
Take ten thousand steps back.
Weitu, at most, is a suspect of killing Taoist Wolf Slayer, and there will be no specific treatment.
Even—
He will not be suspected.
Because Master Zhanlang disappeared out of thin air in the grassland, who could know that he was dead?
…
Time passes day by day.
Prince Youxian's Mansion could not sit still again.
Watching Taoist Master Zhan Lang leave, he went to the Fenshan Department and never returned.
No matter who you are, everyone is impatient.
Especially the second prince.
After all, he had regarded Taoist Wolf Slayer as his confidant before and told Taoist Wolf Slayer about his plan.
Now Taoist Master Zhan Lang has disappeared out of thin air. If he surrenders to Yuan Jie and others, wouldn't he be in danger?
Just target Yuan Jie.
Using Yuan Ping…
Master Hedi will not let him go easily.
The second prince had no choice but to send someone to Fenshan Department to investigate and find out the reason why Taoist Wolf Slayer disappeared.
With Wei Tu’s careful planning.
The second prince did not get any useful information from the Fenshan tribe. He only knew that Master Zhanlang left the Fenshan tribe after provoking him. "Even if Wei Tu hides his strength, he can't kill Taoist Wolf Slayer without any movement. Could it be that Taoist Wolf Slayer's enemies are responsible?" the second prince speculated.
Taoist Zhanlang has two enemies on the surface, one is Gujian Mountain and the other is the Sand Bandit Society.
These two are not small forces.
Once any force becomes serious, it is not impossible to kill Taoist Wolf Slayer.
"It seems that we have to find another way." The second prince shook his head and decided not to investigate the reason for the disappearance of Taoist Wolf Slayer.
Now, a long time has passed. If Taoist Master Zhanlang had surrendered to Yuan Jie and others, he would have been punished by Master Hedi and others long ago, and he would never be as carefree and happy as he is now.
Since this matter no longer poses the greatest threat to him, there is no need for him to continue searching for the truth.
“The Holy Spring Society is coming soon, so we will stop temporarily and look for opportunities to target Yuan Jie in the future.”
The second prince's cold eyes flashed slightly.
Provoke Wei Tu, thus leading to Yuan Jie... He is only a Taoist who kills wolves, and he can still blame him for making his own decisions and being domineering by nature.
But if there is one more person, this is not suitable.
A discerning person can spot the clues at a glance.
"But... Taoist Master Wolf Slayer is dead, and there is one missing person in the sword test competition..." The second prince rubbed his chin and cast his gaze in the direction of Fenshan Department.
Taoist Master Zhan Lang is dead, but Wei Tu’s “grievance” against Taoist Master Zhan Lang and Prince Youxian’s Mansion has not yet been eliminated.
The second prince felt that this might be an opportunity for him to win over Wei Tu and maximize the interests of Taoist Wolf Slayer after his death.
…
The next day.
Yuan Ying, the eldest princess of Prince Youxian's palace, led a group of royal maids to come to Fenshan tribe to visit Wei Tu.
Wei Tu didn't expect Yuan Ying's arrival. He looked surprised. After washing up in the cave, he went out to greet the guests.
"This time, I want to apologize for my younger brother. I hope Priest Wei won't take it seriously." Yuan Ying sat down and said softly, her lips parted.
Apologize?
Wei Tu secretly raised his eyebrows, wondering what the second prince and "Yuan Ying" were trying to do.
He looked at Yuanying carefully.
This widowed princess is beautiful, graceful and charming. The plain skirt and hairpin worn on her body are similar to those of Cangnan female cultivators.
If you don’t look closely, you might mistakenly think that she is a famous fairy from a certain fairy sect.
“Wei doesn’t understand what the eldest princess is talking about.” Wei Tu sat down and pretended not to know.
The eldest princess Yuan Ying smiled brightly and said, "Priest Wei is pretending to be confused? The story of Taoist Wolf Slayer blackmailing Priest Wei has already spread throughout the palace. Everyone in my palace is ashamed of this."
The voice fell.
A thin layer of anger appeared on Wei Tu's face at the right time.
“Since Prince Youxian’s Palace knew about it, why didn’t they punish Master Taoist Wolf Slayer earlier? If it weren’t for fear of involving Prince Youxian’s Palace, Wei would have… reported this matter to the Master.”
He said quite angrily.
While Wei Tu was talking, the eldest princess Yuan Ying paid attention to Wei Tu's expression. Seeing that Wei Tu's angry look did not look like a disguise, she nodded secretly.
"It seems that Wei Tu has nothing to do with the disappearance of Taoist Wolf Slayer. The reason why he did not report this matter to the Cangkun Alliance is because he has a weak character and is afraid of the palace... and he is a foreigner, so he does not dare to make a big deal out of it. ”
She thought.
"I, Prince Youxian, have always been fair and will not let the priest Wei suffer a loss in this matter. Nor will he sit back and ignore this matter and allow it to develop."
“My royal palace has expelled Taoist Master Zhanlang, and he is no longer a guest minister.”
Princess Yuan Ying said with a smile.
As she spoke, she took out a spirit stone bag from her sleeve and handed it to Wei Tu.
“This is five thousand spiritual stones, considered as compensation from the palace.”
Hearing this, Wei Tu immediately understood the reason why the eldest princess Yuan Ying was looking for him - Prince Youxian saw that Taoist Wolf Slayer had disappeared and was worthless, so he took advantage of the contradiction in this matter to win over him.
Wei Tu sneered secretly.
If he were a young boy, he would probably be really confused by the combos of Youxian Prince's Mansion, and he would not know who is an enemy and what is a friend.
It is hard for Prince Youxian to imagine that he had known about Prince Youxian’s plan a few years ago, and now he was the one who single-handedly controlled Taoist Master Youxian’s death.
"Five thousand spirit stones?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows, "Taoist Taoist Wolf Slayer extorted Wei's spirit stones, but it was twenty-seven thousand spirit stones. The princess must have made a mistake."
