Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 178: 122, I insist on pestering you

"Before the Rakshasa Festival arrives, I will further fan the flames for the Qinglong Token matter, and then have Yang Xin and Lv Luo infiltrate the Prefectural City first. I hope you'll be ready, big brother!"

Maiden Hong suddenly glanced westward, a trace of obscure light flickering in her eyes, before turning her head to speak to Hou Yuxiao and then transforming into a red mist that disappeared into the night.

Add fuel to the Qinglong Token matter?

Hou Yuxiao's brow furrowed tightly, and a slight guess rose in his heart, making his expression turn increasingly unsightly.

Maiden Hong now wanted to use the Qinglong Token matter to attract more Martial Artists to Tongling County. Adding fuel meant she wished to bring even more people.

To do that, the Qinglong Token had to be made more attractive, and how to make an assassination artifact more alluring meant, naturally, creating a sensation!

Is this Qinglong Association really mine, or is it yours?

Even though he could no longer sense the slightest bit of Maiden Hong's presence, Hou Yuxiao only dared to express this sentiment in his heart. During the moments he was being entangled by the bloody vines, he truly felt he was not far from death.

Alas...

Hou Yuxiao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He indeed hadn't expected his careful plot to kill Gu Chenfeng would be seen through by Maiden Hong at a glance - a plan that should have been flawless in every way.

From the moment he learned from Gui Yutang that Maiden Hong was the Blood Demon, Hou Yuxiao had already begun to plan how to handle this problem.

It wasn't just for Old Fifth, but also for the sake of the family.

Old Fifth was on a completely different path from her, and he would never truly allow them to be together. However, fearing Maiden Hong's strength, he dared not oppose them openly. He had to pretend to be unaware of their matters and even had to refrain from using any tricks to prevent Old Fifth from meeting with her.

Secondly, no matter how stable Maiden Hong seemed, the Annals of Zhaoyang County clearly recorded the Blood Demon's murderous outbreaks - counting the dead by the tens and hundreds of thousands.

"My attempt this time was nearly discovered by her, and I almost lost my life. Without absolute certainty, I can only obediently follow orders now. If any other tricks of mine are found out, even if Old Fifth shields me, she may really kill me!

There are tall men to support the sky when it falls. With Master Fanyin, Moxuzi, Zen Master Yuan Kong, and so many experts coming, it's not my turn to worry."

The near-death experience had cast a heavy shadow over Hou Yuxiao's mind. He stood there, frowning and pondering for a long time, before finally making a decision and taking a long breath of relief.

"In the future, I can't treat others as fools. The more beautiful the woman, the more dangerous… But this little Daoist Nun seems to be an exception!"

After Hou Yuxiao finished the former statement, he turned and walked over to Zhao Qingxue's side, first shaking his head with a complex expression, then his face showing a touch of sympathy.

Initially, he was somewhat puzzled when he saw Gu Chenfeng capture Zhao Qingxue, but after learning about the Divine Infatuation Gu, he immediately realized that the little Daoist Nun came to Tongling to slay demons and expel fiends, obviously falling into Gu Chenfeng's trap.

Clearly, Gu Chenfeng figured there wasn't a chance for action in Wanyang County, so he deliberately instigated Tong Hu to incite Zhao Qingxue to come to Tongling, and then sought an opportunity along the way to plant the Zi Gu in her. Unexpectedly, he intercepted their plot.

Now that the Mother Gu had moved onto himself, Hou Yuxiao's eyes faintly revealed a hint of darkness while looking at Zhao Qingxue, numerous thoughts stirring in his heart.

As Maiden Hong said, the Divine Infatuation Gu would only cause the Zi Gu to harbour affection towards the Mother Gu, so it seemed he wouldn't be at a loss. Moreover, if this little Daoist Nun truly devoted herself to him, there would be tremendous benefits.

This little Daoist Nun belonged to Zhao Clan of the Qinjian Villa!

Just this fact alone made her value to him immeasurable.

Not to mention, she was also one of the twelve revered elders of the Ziqing Holy Sect, the direct disciple of Moxuzi.

Clearly, Gu Chenfeng must have also seen these points to target this naive Daoist Nun.

"I've inherited Gu Chenfeng's Mother Gu, and the Zi Gu must have already been planted within her, which means I need not do anything, and the little Daoist Nun will be devoted to me for life, unable to sever the ties ever!"

Hou Yuxiao looked down and murmured, observing Zhao Qingxue's stunning visage, his mind flitting with a host of dark thoughts like taking revenge on the Zhao Clan through her, using the Ziqing Holy Sect, or even stealing information from The Righteous Path...

The night magnifies the evil thoughts in a person's heart. Hou Yuxiao stared at Zhao Qingxue's face for countless moments, before finally heaving a deep sigh.

In the end, reason and compassion prevailed!

If the Divine Infatuation Gu was truly as Maiden Hong described, then this little Daoist Nun might have been ruined by Gu Chenfeng for life. If she were to be further exploited by him, it would be exceedingly cruel.

Suddenly, Hou Yuxiao turned his head to the east. After more than a dozen breaths had passed, a tall figure galloped out of the dense forest, riding a horse at full speed - it was Hou Yucheng.

Upon seeing Gu Chenfeng's corpse on the ground, Hou Yucheng first looked startled, casting an inquisitive gaze at Hou Yuxiao, and upon seeing a nod from Hou Yuxiao, his face showed an excited expression.

At the end of last year, when Gu Chenfeng humiliated the Hou Clan, he too was present. He held an unyielding hatred towards this ninth Sword God of the Wanjian Holy Sect, and seeing him dead brought great elation to his heart.

The more critical point was, if he could kill Gu Chenfeng, it meant that big brother's strength had far surpassed his imagination, and this was the reason for his exuberant excitement.
