Chapter 85: Snitch

Before entering the Lotus Pier gate, Wei Wuxian took a deep breath to calm his mind. But after entering, he was not as excited as he thought.

Perhaps it was because too many places had been renovated. The training ground had doubled in size, and the new buildings were built one after another with flying eaves and corners, which were staggered in height. It was more imposing and glorious than before. However, compared with the Lotus Pier in his memory, it was almost unrecognizable.

Wei WuXian felt lost. He didn’t know whether the old houses were blocked by these gorgeous new buildings or had been demolished.

After all, they are really too old.

The disciples of each family on the training ground began to form a square formation, cross their legs and meditate, continue to cultivate and restore their spiritual power. After almost a day and a night of hard work, these people were extremely tired and had to take a breath. Jiang Cheng led the heads of the families and the important people and celebrities into the hall inside the house, the sword testing hall, to discuss today's affairs. Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji followed them in. Some people felt something was wrong, but they couldn't say anything.

As soon as he entered the inner hall and had not yet sat down, a guest-looking man came up and said, "Master."


He leaned close to Jiang Cheng's ear and whispered something. Jiang Cheng frowned and said, "No. We can talk about it later. Don't you see what the situation is now?"

The guest official said, "I told you, but the two women said... they came here just for today's event."

Jiang Cheng asked, "Who is she? Which family is she from?"


The guest official said, "They are not from any family, nor are they female cultivators. I am sure that they are all ordinary women without spiritual power. They all arrived today, and they also brought a batch of precious medicinal herbs, but they did not say which family head sent them. They only said that they had something important to tell the sect master. I heard that what they said was very serious, and I was afraid of neglecting them. Now I have placed them in the guest house, and the medicinal herbs have not been put into the warehouse yet. I have checked and there is no wrong spell."


It was not that the head of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan had seen them, and they refused to tell their origins. Moreover, they were two ordinary women with no spiritual power and no family background. However, since they brought a batch of precious medicinal materials, the guest official in charge of reception would not dare to neglect them. Even if they did not value the gift, they could not ignore this strangeness. Jiang Cheng said, "Everyone, please sit down wherever you want. I will be away for a moment and will be back soon."

Everyone said, "Master Jiang, you are too polite."

However, Jiang Cheng did not return immediately, but did not return for a long time. It was impolite to ignore the guests in the house, not to mention that the current situation was still an emergency, and everyone was waiting to discuss important matters. After half an hour, Jiang Cheng still did not show up, and many people began to feel uneasy or dissatisfied. At this time, Jiang Cheng finally came back. He looked normal when he left, but he looked cold and solemn when he returned, and he walked very fast, and brought two people with him, two women, who should be the two people who came to visit. Everyone originally thought that even if they were two ordinary women, they should be extraordinary to be able to visit with such a large gift. Who knew that these two women were not young, and the details of their eyes and mouths showed old age, and one of them lowered her eyebrows and looked timid, and the other was covered in dust, and her face was cut five or six times, the knife marks were old, and the description was horrible, which was disgusting. They were very disappointed and began to mutter in their hearts, why did Jiang Cheng bring these two women to the sword test hall, and even pointed them to the center of the hall.

Jiang Cheng's face was gloomy, and he said to the two women who sat down tremblingly: "You talk here."


Sect Leader Yao asked, "Sect Leader Jiang, what are you doing?"


Jiang Cheng said, "This matter is too shocking. I dare not rush and interrogate you in detail, so it took some time. Please be quiet and listen to what these two have to say." He turned around and said, "Who will speak first?"

The two women looked at each other. The woman with a prostitute-like air was bolder and stood up and said, "I'll go first!"

She bowed casually and said, "What I want to talk about is an old story that happened about eleven years ago."

Hearing Jiang Cheng's tone, everyone knew that what the woman was going to say was definitely not an insignificant matter, and they all thought about what happened eleven years ago. The woman said: "My name is Sisi. I was originally a prostitute. I was famous for a while. More than ten years ago, I wanted to marry a rich businessman. Who would have thought that the rich businessman's wife was a powerful man. She found a group of strong men and slashed my face with knives. I became like this."

The woman spoke without any shame or beating around the bush, and some female cultivators raised their sleeves to cover their mouths, and some male cultivators frowned. Sisi said, "My face has become like this, and my life is no longer the same as before. No one wants to look at me, let alone do business with me. My previous restaurant kicked me out. I can't do anything else, but I can't get any work anywhere, so I teamed up with those older sisters. Their customers don't have high requirements, so they take me on if they have any work. I can make do with covering my face."


At this point, some people couldn't stand it anymore, and the contempt in their eyes was naked. Some people didn't understand why Jiang Cheng wanted everyone to listen to this woman talk about such a dirty and ugly thing in public. The heads of the families kept their breath and waited for her to continue. Sure enough, she got to the point. Sisi said: "One day, the sisters in the same alley as us suddenly received a business. They asked more than 20 of us to take us to a place in a carriage. My old sisters agreed on the remuneration and were so happy in the car. But I felt something was wrong. To put it bluntly, everyone is either old and ugly, or like me. To pay so much money, and pay it in advance, is there such a cheap thing in the world? Moreover, the people who came to find us were mysterious and sneaky. When they came, they took everyone in the car and took them away without letting anyone else know. It doesn't look like they have good intentions!" Insect Notes Novel

The others thought the same. Their contempt was replaced by curiosity. Sisi said, "When the carriage arrived, we were taken directly to a yard to get off. None of us had ever seen such a tall, big, and magnificent house. We were all blinded and dared not breathe. There was a young man leaning against the door playing with a dagger. When he saw us, he let us in. He closed the door and went into the house. There were only two people in the big room. There was a man lying in a brocade quilt on a big bed. He looked to be in his thirties or forties and seemed to be half dead. When he saw someone coming in, only his eyeballs could move."


"ah!"

In the sword-testing hall, someone suddenly cried out in sudden realization: "Eleven years ago?! This is... this is...!!!"

Sisi said, "Someone told us what to do in advance, which was to use our best skills to serve the person lying on the bed inside, without stopping for a moment. I thought he was a very strong man, but he turned out to be a sick ghost. How could this person stand being served? I'm afraid he will die after a few servings. How can there be such an impatient ghost? And they are so rich, they must have been able to afford young and beautiful ones, why did they have to hire old and ugly ones like us? I climbed on top of him and was still thinking about this, when suddenly it seemed like a young man laughed. I was startled and then I found that there was a curtain beside the bed and there was a person sitting behind the curtain!"


Everyone's heart was tightly grasped by her words. Sisi continued, "I just realized that this person had been sitting behind the curtain. He smiled, and the man on the bed suddenly struggled, lifted me off the bed, and rolled off the bed. The man laughed even harder, talking while laughing. He said, Father, I found you the women you love most, there are many of them, are you happy?"

Although these words came from Sisi's mouth, everyone felt horrified and a smiling face appeared in their hearts.

Jin Guangyao!

And the half-dead man on the bed must be Jin Guangshan!

The death of Jin Guangshan has always been an open secret among all the families. Jin Guangshan was a playboy who was almost vulgar throughout his life. He was always affectionate and left his offspring everywhere. His cause of death was also related to this. As the head of the Lanling Jin family, he insisted on having fun with women when he was weak, and finally died of a stroke. It was really not decent to tell others about this. Mrs. Jin had been depressed for several years after losing her only son and daughter-in-law. She thought that her husband was still fooling around before his death and eventually lost his life. She was so angry that she fell ill and passed away not long after. The Lanling Jin family tried to cover up and suppress the rumors, but all the families knew it tacitly. They looked sad and regretful, but in fact they all felt that he deserved it and deserved to die in such a way. Who knew that today, they heard a truth that was even more unbearable and ugly. The sound of gasps came one after another in the sword test hall.

Sisi said, "The middle-aged man wanted to shout and struggle, but he had no strength. The young man who led us in just now opened the door again, and dragged him to the bed while laughing. He took a rope, stepped on his head and tied him up, and said to us, keep going, even if he dies, don't stop. Who among us has ever seen such a scene? We were scared to death, but we didn't dare to disobey, so we had to continue. When it was the twelfth or eleventh sister, the sister suddenly screamed and said that he was really dead. I went up to take a look, and sure enough, he was dead. But the man behind the curtain said, didn't you hear it? Don't stop even if he dies!"

Sect Master Ouyang couldn't help but say, "No matter what, Jin Guangshan is still his biological father. If this is true... this is too... too..."

Sisi said: "As soon as I saw this man dead, I knew it was over. We definitely couldn't escape. Sure enough, after the incident, all of my twenty-odd old sisters were killed, leaving no one alive..."

Wei Wuxian asked: "Then why did you stay alone?"

Sisi said, "I don't know! I begged and pleaded at the time, saying that I didn't want the money and I would never tell anyone. Who knew that they really didn't kill me, but took me to a residence and locked me up for eleven years. I was only recently rescued by chance and escaped."

Wei WuXian asked: “Who saved you?”

Sisi said, "I don't know. I have never met the person who saved me. But after hearing about my experience, the benefactor decided not to let this hypocritical and corrupt person continue to deceive everyone. Even if he is now covering up everything, he must reveal everything he has done, seek justice for the people he harmed, and let my more than 20 poor sisters rest in peace."
