Phoenix Destroyer
14. Truth (2)

Jing Shubai could not forget Feng Mo's earlier remark, so he couldn't rest in peace.

He wondered if Feng Mo knew anything?

Or whether Feng Mo was simply taking issue with Jing Shuya's recklessness interfering with their conversation, or because of Jing Shuya's offending remark.

Jing Shubai couldn't help but ask Jing An for an opinion that came to report about the follow-up.

Jing An fell silent, she looked at her cousin elaborately.

"Sepupu An, is there something wrong with my face?" Jing Shubai was uncomfortable with Jing An's gaze.

"Cousin, you have long suspected Shuya. But you don't want to admit it."

Jing Shubai's face paled, his body tensed.

"This Mr. Mo must have known something strange about your poisoning, and Shuya's appearance made him even more suspicious. He warned us to keep Shuya away from this healing operation. But Mr. Mo had no proof and could only utter ambiguous words."

Actually not only was Feng Mo able to see Jing Shuya's suspicious behavior, he and some other subordinates also sensed it.

They had explicitly implied Jing Shubai to check on Jing Shuya.

With Jing Shuya's day-to-day mannerisms, she might not be very professional in performing actions and would leave a lot of traces. As long as they examined it, it would definitely find solid evidence soon.

But since the poisoning happened not long after Jing Bao died, then Jing Shuya went crazy, no one would doubt the city lord's only little sister.

Jing An felt complicated, no one wanted to suspect her only sister as a murderer. Even if Jing Shuya's temperament wasn't particularly frowned upon.

Jing An did not know what to say, everyone had placed their suspicions in Jing Shuya's head. But Jing Shubai himself did not want to admit it.

Now that the situation had reached this point, what was to be done?

"Cousin, Master Mo has said not to let Jing Shuya interfere. If you don't want your own life, don't let anyone else do the work in vain." Jing An flicked the sleeves of her robe and left firmly.

After Jing An's departure, Jing Shubai took a deep breath.

The suspicions of the people under him towards Jing Shuya were indeed true.

But as his only brother, he couldn't tell his suspicions towards Jing Shuya blatantly. He even pretended not to know.

As someone who truly knew Jing Shuya, how could she not see anything strange?

It was just that he wanted to wait, whether there was someone instigating Jing Shuya behind him to kill him or Jing Shuya really just wanted to kill herself.

As a brother and an uncle, Jing Shubai had seen the essence of Jing Shuya and Jing Bao, they were typical examples of mother and son.

Even if Jing Bao did not die at the hands of that group of Sharks, with the enemies he made at all times, he would die sooner or later before leaving Haicheng.

Jing Shubai felt that he had never raised the two to be crooked. But the mother and child had refreshed Jing Shubai's cognition at all times.

He was even worried, whether the two would damage Jing Ming in the future.

Although Jing Ming's cultivation wouldn't be able to go far, he wanted to let his son live freely without someone or something pressing on his head.

Calming his unstable mood, Jing Shubai called Servant Xia.

When Feng Mo was sifting through the remaining poison reserves he had, Kong Li called out to him from the outside.

A while later, she came alone to Jing Shubai's room.

Still the previous table and tea were the same, Feng Mo could already guess what Jing Shubai wanted to say.

"Senior Jing called me because of Miss Jing earlier?" feng Mo's straightforward remarks involuntarily calmed Jing Shubai's mood.

The old man nodded. "Master Mo has seen Jing Shuya, she is my only sister. When the parents of our Jing family died, only our young ones were left. I have raised Shuya alone, and have long considered him to be his only relative.

I pampered him and held him in the palm of the hand. Even if she became selfish later in life I still thought that this was my little sister, she would not do anything harmful to others. Unfortunately... "

Feng Mo understood. "Unfortunately senior doesn't think that he's going crazy?"

Jing Shubai melancholic. "Before I became the city lord, our family was still ordinary cultivators. Then I entered the ranks of the government staff, and became a confidant of the previous city lord.

At first it was just a matter of romance, Jing Shuya fell in love with a sect cultivator. The cultivator had no intention of marrying Shuya, but he did not reject Shuya's pursuit.

Shuya who had long yearned for the outside world was fascinated by the promise of that cultivator and gave up all his possessions. And when he realized that he had been deceived, the cultivator had left with the sect entourage.

He became hysterical and crazy, even determined to chase. I managed to stop him when he had just exited the city gate. We had a big fight for the first time. He wanted the man and forgot his roots."

Then like the cliche story of mortal humans in general.

Jing Shuya finds out that she is pregnant with the child and she is more determined to find the cultivator.

After Jing Bao was born, it was discovered that the baby had a single spiritual root. The entire city mansion celebrated the birth of a genius child who might be able to become the number one cultivator in Haicheng.

The previous city lord was optimistic about Jing Shubai's rise and appointed him as the next city lord. All the resources flowed towards him, and the family life of four people was naturally better.

After the previous city lord left Haicheng to see the outside world, Jing Shubai started to get busy with the affairs of the city government. Other than cultivation, she had little time to see the state of Jing Shuya and her son.

Bad things happen after a few years.

Suddenly one day he heard from some subordinates who were still one surname with him, that Jing Bao had mauled a mansion servant to death.

Jing Shubai was stunned, he did not believe that a five-six year old child could commit murder.

He asked his subordinates to check what was happening, but Jing Shubai immediately got a bucket of cold water.

For some time before, Jing Shuya had begun to contradict the servants because a servant had unintentionally neglected his duty in taking care of Jing Bao.

He struck the servant with spiritual power, leaving the servant injured.

Not until there, Jing Bao began to imitate Jing Shuya's behavior and considered it a matter of course. And Jing Shuya did not forbid it either.

Then for nearly a decade, Jing Bao used his position as the City Lord to persecute the common people of the city. Even the family of cultivators did not escape him.

If it wasn't for him apologizing sincerely, and saying that their family would have left after a few years. Jing Shubai was confident his position as the City Lord would soon disappear even if the person who replaced him was not as strong as him.

"For many years I have punished and prohibited both from intentionally harming others. But the two people felt that they were just doing the thing that ordinary cultivators were doing. I don't know how their minds develop into crooked. They ran rampant in the city under the name of the city lord and oppressed others."

Even until now Jing Shubai was not out of thought. What made those two people so crooked?

What is his position as City Lord? Jing Shubai felt no. The position of the City Lord can be replaced at any time. Thenwhat?

Jing Shubai looked at Feng Mo seriously. "Master Mo, I'm asking for a hint from you." Humbly he begged.

Feng Mo stared at his two cluttered fingers. "Senior Jing has seen Miss Jing's strangeness for a long time but hasn't decided yet, is senior afraid that someone else is in the dark?"

"I've always felt that none of this is simple."

Feng Mo understood. "Since I've seen Miss Jing, I've caught a glimpse that her body has been contaminated with poisonous breath."

The breath of Jing Shubai stagnated. "What about other people?"

"As far as I look at the people inside the mansion, I haven't seen anyone else carrying a cold breath."

"What does this mean?"

"Cold poison is deadly, once spread the consequences are surely great. Miss Jing could be contaminated with cold breath because she is always in contact with poison, but other than Senior Jing I have not seen anyone else who has been poisoned."

"Related... " It means that the source of the poison is still in his hands.

"Since Miss Jing can still touch the poison, it means that the poison is where Miss Jing has always been."

Chamber.

Jing Shuya had never left her room since Jing Bao's death. Butwhy? Jing Shubai never felt that he regretted their mother and son.

They make trouble, he helps wipe their asses.

Jing Bao oppressed Jing Ming, he even asked Jing Ming to be patient, as their mother and son were about to leave.

Jing Shubai had planned his life for the next few years.

When Jing Bao entered the sect with his mother, he would take Jing Ming around the world.

From that moment on, the lives of the two would have nothing to do with them.

Now that not only had Jing Bao died, he poisoned Jing Shuya for unknown reasons.

"Master Mo, the source of the poison... Can you handle it?"

"If Senior Jing can restrict Miss Jing's movements, I can look for the source of the poison inside her room."

"Then it troubles Mr. Mo."

Feng Mo and Jing Shubai then confirmed some of the items needed in the healing operation, and when was the best time to perform the surgery.

Alchemists have been called. Some medicinal ingredients and spiritual grasses had been collected.

The two continued the conversation as usual as if they had not talked about Jing Shuya before.

While Jing Shuya did not know that her vest had been stripped away, she still thought hard about how to prevent Jing Shubai from healing himself.

Her face was distorted, her originally beautiful face had changed. Evil has stained his eyebrows.

Jing Shuya bit her fingers nervously. She would not let Jing Shubai detoxify the poison in her body.

The few alchemists before him no one could discern the poison so he was not too worried. But now that someone had jumped out and said to cure Jing Shubai's poisoning, Jing Shuya could not tolerate her.

Shubai Jing! Don't even think about healing as long as I'm alive!
