Chapter 314: I finally stopped pretending (1 more)
Jin Zheng didn't notice the strange atmosphere in the room at all, and patted Jia Lin comfortingly and said: "Some people outside have said a lot of unpleasant things recently. Please don't take it seriously. The most important thing is to heal your wounds quickly."
.”
Jia Lin looked up at him and said, "What are you talking about? I have difficulty moving now and have been lying in bed. What was said outside, I wouldn't even know if Brother Jin Zheng didn't tell me!"
Jin Zheng's perfectly maintained expression froze slightly after entering, but soon he looked annoyed and laughed at himself: "It's all my fault for not talking clearly, being too talkative and saying the wrong thing."
On the contrary, Kuncheng had the courage to help smooth things over and said, "You are also worried about Jia Lin. Jia Lin will definitely not blame you."
"Yes, we all grew up together. You are closer than my brother. If you have anything to say, just tell me. There is no need to be like foreigners, who have to think through your words three times before saying anything. How tiring it is.
Gotta panic!"
"That's right." Kuncheng patted Jin Zheng on the shoulder and said, "I just said that Jialin doesn't care. He has always been broad-minded and has the best temperament."
A few people talked awkwardly for a while, and suddenly someone ran into the room in a panic and yelled something.
Li Zian and Shen Tianshu didn't understand, but everyone else's expressions changed instantly.
Among them, Jin Zheng's face was the most ugly. His originally red lips instantly turned pale and trembled involuntarily.
Shen Tianshu could hear the chattering sound of his upper and lower teeth even from a distance.
Jia Lin was so panicked that she forgot that her leg was still injured. She turned over and wanted to get out of bed. Fortunately, Qi Fei's quick eyesight and quick hands held him down and finally did not touch the injured leg.
Li Zian grabbed Qi Fei's wrist and asked, "What happened?"
"Ghost, the ghost master has returned to the forest!"
After these days of contact, Li Zian and Shen Tianshu have understood that the so-called return to the mountains and forests refers to death.
When the two heard the news, they looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
Qi Fei was even more panic-stricken at this time. If Li Zian hadn't stood in front of him, he would have wanted to go up and grab Shen Tianshu and ask him what happened.
It was clearly said before that the ghost master was just sleeping and would be fine, so why did he suddenly stop being fine?
Jia Lin was still making noises about going to see the Ghost Lord for the last time. Kuncheng took the initiative and asked someone to find a spring stool to carry it over and took Jia Lin to the Ghost Lord's room.
Li Zian and Shen Tianshu followed Qi Fei and walked at the end.
At this time, Qi Fei finally couldn't help but lowered his voice and said: "Ms. Tong, did you diagnose the wrong pulse? Is it true that someone poisoned me?"
"Fortunately, Jia Lin hasn't told anyone about what happened yesterday, otherwise it would be even more difficult to deal with now."
Shen Tianshu felt that the matter was not that simple. Although she was not sure what kind of poison the ghost master was, she could still distinguish it clearly since it was not life-threatening.
"Unless someone poisons the ghost master after I diagnose the pulse, there must be something fishy about this matter."
"That is absolutely impossible. The Great Elder will guard you every step of the way. No one will have the chance to poison you again." Qi Fei said very firmly.
"Then let's wait and see what happens after we go in. If they say anything important, you must tell us."
The language barrier is really troublesome, and they can only rely on Qi Fei at this time.
At this time, there were many Wuman people surrounding the door of the room where the ghost master lived, but they were just staying outside the door. They were not qualified to enter the house.
Seeing that the four heirs had arrived, the Wuman people consciously separated from them and made way for them to enter.
Shen Tianshu followed him inside and was suddenly picked up by Li Zian behind him.
Li Zian turned around and quickly changed positions with Shen Tianshu. The dagger in his other hand was already pressed against the throat of a Wuman.
After Shen Tianshu stood firm, he looked back and saw that where he had just landed, there was a puddle of black mud on the ground.
She was anxious to see the condition of the ghost master, so she didn't pay attention to the Wuman people on both sides, and just followed them into the house.
However, Li Zian had long been aware of the unfriendly sights around him and was always on guard.
However, this move angered the surrounding Wuman people, and the crowd who were just whispering among each other gradually began to shout.
As the shouts became more and more uniform, Shen Tianshu could guess what they were shouting without even needing Qi Fei to translate them. They were just calling her a witch and demanding that she be dealt with.
After Jia Lin and others entered the house and took a look at the ghost master's condition, even their last illusions were finally shattered.
The ghost master was lying on the bed. Although he still looked the same as when he was unconscious, he was no longer breathing and his body was cold and stiff.
The great elder knelt beside the bed, hunched over, as if he had aged a lot overnight, and there were a lot of gray hairs on his temples.
Qian Erjie was impatient and couldn't help but ask: "Great Elder, did the Ghost Lord say anything before he returned to the forest?"
"You want to ask who will inherit the position of Ghost Lord?" The great elder glanced at Qian Erjie coldly.
Qian Erjie shrank back when he saw him, but still looked at him unwillingly, wanting an answer.
"Needless to say, it's Jia Lin of course." The elder said with a stern face, "Jia Lin is the one with the highest witchcraft power and the strongest ability among you. He is the successor recognized by the Ghost Lord. I thought this The whole family has already reached a consensus on this matter, so what, do you still have any objections?"
Qian Erjie was so rebuffed that he hesitated and finally stopped talking at all.
Jin Zheng's mood had gradually calmed down at this time. Hearing the elder's words, he couldn't help but retort: "Jialin's leg injury has not yet healed. No one knows whether he will become disabled. If he becomes disabled, then what will happen to him?" There is no way to take over the position of Ghost Lord. Could it be that the Great Elder is overly sad and confused?"
"Jialin's leg injury is improving very quickly, there should be no problem." The great elder said.
"That's hard to say!" Jin Zheng turned away from his usual gentleness and said aggressively, "You said before that the ghost master just had a headache and would be fine after a few days of rest! But now? I won't believe you anymore. That’s nonsense.”
As Jin Zheng spoke, he whistled, and a dozen young men from the Wuman tribe suddenly poured in from outside. They were all covered in flesh and meat, and they were all good hunters at first glance.
After they entered, they closed the door to separate everyone from others outside.
"Okay, you finally stop pretending? Are you tired after pretending for so many years?" The elder raised his eyelids, glared at Jin Zheng, and said sadly, "Jin Zheng, you dare to kill even the ghost master, how dare you kill him?" Want to be the next ghost master? Aren't you afraid that your soul will be scattered after death?"
"As long as I live well now, who knows what will happen after death!" Jin Zheng sneered, "Besides, who said I killed the ghost master? It was clearly Qi Fei who colluded with this demon girl from Da Qi to save Jia. Lin, I don’t know what kind of magic was used to kill the ghost master!"
As soon as Jin Zheng finished speaking, his men immediately arranged themselves in a fan shape with scimitars in hand.
Today, anyone who dares to oppose will be immediately killed by a machete.
