Xingzhe Island, Yuanyin Temple, and the second underground floor of the pagoda.

Jin Liancheng looked a little hurt: "Mu Yan, we haven't seen each other for a long time, can't you talk to me well?"

Mu Yan said with a faint expression: "Have you ever thought about talking to me well? I haven't seen you for so long, but you haven't changed at all. Can you wake up? My son I gave birth to is almost a soy sauce. Do you think Xiao Xinghan is dead? Even if he dies, I will not be with you!"

Jin Liancheng lowered his head slightly, his eyes were dim, and after a moment of silence, he looked up at Mu Yan and asked, "Who does your son look like?"

"What do you think?" Mu Yan asked back.

Jin Liancheng suddenly laughed: "Of course I hope he looks like you, but I think he may look like Xiao Xinghan."

"So, you have never seen a portrait of my son?" Mu Yan looked inexplicably.

Jin Liancheng frowned: "How could I have seen his portrait?"

"It's okay, just ask casually." Mu Yan wanted to test whether the portrait thrown from Xuan Ku was related to the Fengyun Sword. It was related to Jin Liancheng. Now, looking at Jin Liancheng's appearance, it seems that it has nothing to do with it, but she still has some doubts about Jin Liancheng.

"Sorry, I haven't seen each other for too long, and I can't help myself." Jin Liancheng smiled bitterly, "You are right. I shouldn't have said those words to you just now, it was my fault."

"Jin Liancheng, can you stop pretending? Can you stop pretending?!" Mu Yan's face darkened, "You really think that way in your heart?"

Jin Liancheng looked at Mu Yan with a little embarrassed expression. After a moment, he suddenly laughed again, his eyebrows stretched out, and his voice did not seem to be as low as he had just pretended to be. He looked at Mu Yan and said, "You know me the best. Of course what I just said is all fake. It is obviously the first one I knew you, and I will not give up taking you away from Xiao Xinghan, even if... I have no hair again!"

This is the Jin Liancheng that Mu Yan knew, that arrogant and unrestrained man. Although he finally learned to bow his head and compromise because of setbacks over the years, he had never changed his mind. For him, he could compromise anything. He would not compromise or give up on the matter about Mu Yan, because that is, his biggest obsession was his only goal in life now!

"I promised Lian Ce that if I want to kill you, I will show mercy." Mu Yan said, taking back the sword that had been on Jin Liancheng's neck.

Jin Liancheng chuckled: "I knew that my uncle still loved me. Speaking of this, Mu Yan, do you still remember that you promised Ah Jin that you would spare my life?"

"You are always immersed in the past and refused to accept reality." Mu Yan said with a faint expression, "If A Jin stood here now and I wanted to kill you, he would never stop him. If I asked him to kill you, he would not hesitate. Do you believe it?"

Jin Liancheng looked a little sad, but nodded: "I believe! If you had lived with Dongfang Ziyu for the first time, I would have lived by relying on the Huansheng Gu, and would have hidden his identity with A Jin and live an ordinary life, would everything be different now?"

"You should ask yourself this question. If you regret it, as long as you are alive, there is still room for recovery. A Jin may not give you another chance." Mu Yan looked at Jin Liancheng and said.

Jin Liancheng lowered his head and was silent. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "I don't regret it. I have experienced the glory and wealth, poverty, suffering from life and death, loneliness and torture. I have experienced everything. In these few short years, I have lived for several lifetimes. Do you know what the only regret is?

"I don't want to know." Mu Yan said coldly.

Jin Liancheng looked at Mu Yan with a bright look, and his lips curled slightly and said, "It's you. I have gained everything and lost everything. Only you, I was within reach, but I watched Xiao Xinghan snatch you away! I am alive now, not for power or money, and A Jin and my uncle don't need me at all. I just want to fulfill my last wish in life, a wish related to you."

"I'm thinking about whether I've cut your tongue." Mu Yan said coldly.

"You won't." Jin Liancheng smiled, "It's fine if you don't want to hear what you said just now, I've said it, I think you can understand. Now you won't kill me because you saw me here.

In a moment, I had a plan to use me to get close to the old monk Yuantong, pretend to serve him, cooperate with Xiao Xinghan inside and outside, and get rid of him. Am I right?"

"Old Monk Yuantong? It seems that you don't even know that he is fake." Mu Yan said indifferently.

"Is he really fake? Of course he won't tell me about this, and I dare not ask or investigate. It's just a bit of suspicion." Jin Liancheng said, "Since you think he is fake, then he should be fake. I'm just curious, why did you target Yuanyin Temple? Is it just because Xuanyuan Ye went to Shuoxue City to kill someone?"

"He told you that Xuanyuan Ye escaped and went to Shuoxuecheng to kill people?" Mu Yan looked at Jin Liancheng and asked.

Jin Liancheng nodded: "Yes, I did not participate in this matter, nor did I see it with my own eyes."

"Did that old monk have been in Yuanyin Temple for the past half month?" Mu Yan asked Jin Liancheng.

Jin Liancheng thought for a while and said, "I haven't seen him every day, but I haven't seen him for more than three consecutive days. So, it's impossible for him to kill someone in Shuoxuecheng. Are you suspicious, he is lying, it's not Xuanyuan Ye who escaped and killed someone?"

Mu Yan nodded and heard Jin Liancheng say, "This is possible, but if he is fake and plots for the treasure of Xuanyuan Family in Yunzhongdao, I will definitely be more than me. This matter must have something to do with him. Xuanyuan Ye is still alive and the possibility of escaping is not without."

"There is one more thing, I want to ask you." Mu Yan looked at Jin Liancheng and said.

"You said, as long as I know, I will tell you." Jin Liancheng nodded.

"Is there anything else in the Fengyun Sword you took from the pagoda?" Mu Yan looked at Jin Liancheng and asked.

Jin Liancheng was stunned for a moment: "How do you know?" This is to admit that there is.

"Is it a sword note?" Mu Yan asked.

Jin Liancheng did not deny it: "It's the sword book."

"Where is it?" Mu Yan asked.

"What do you ask about this? How do you know that there is a sword score hidden in that sword?" Jin Liancheng felt a little strange.

"I want that sword score, do you give it to me or not?" Mu Yan asked.

"No." Jin Liancheng looked at Mu Yan and said with a smile, "You are practicing the Netherworld Divine Art. Yesterday, I took a secret book that suits you the most suitable for you. I wanted the sword book for Xiao Xinghan, right? I won't give it to me, that's mine."

"Forget it, there is another thing I want to ask you, have you been secretly learning Yin Gong with Xuanshu on your back?" Mu Yan looked at Jin Liancheng and asked.

Jin Liancheng shook his head: "No, Xuan Ku doesn't teach me, how can I learn it?"

Mu Yan looked at Jin Liancheng and stopped talking. Jin Liancheng pulled the corner of his mouth, looked at Mu Yan and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"

"What you just said is false and real. I only believe half of it, and I don't know which half it should be believed, so I can only believe it all." Mu Yan said coldly, "The purpose of your visit to Yuanyin Temple is not to find a place to stay or to avoid us. You came for Yingong. After so long, I absolutely don't believe that you have not obtained Yingong's secret book, especially the fake Yuantong has colluded with you. Jinliancheng, you even cheated me. I only ask you for one thing. See you next time, don't pretend to be affectionate in front of me. I really feel disgusting! Please beg yourself for blessings!"

Jin Liancheng's expression changed slightly: "I didn't lie to you! What do you mean? Didn't you agree to work together and pretend to be loyal to that old monk?"

"I never told you that you should cooperate, it was your wishful thinking!" Mu Yan said coldly, "That person is very dangerous, not just as simple as you see on the surface. You have to continue playing with fire, whatever you want! This time, for the sake of your help, let's stop here!"

As soon as Mu Yan finished speaking, her figure had disappeared from the stairs that had gone up. Jin Liancheng subconsciously chased after him. When he arrived at the first floor of the pagoda, he could no longer see Mu Yan's shadow.

Jin Liancheng looked disappointed. He had originally firmly believed that Mu Yan would work with him. Who knew that Mu Yan had no intention of following his ideas from beginning to end. Even though he thought that it was a very favorable choice for Mu Yan, Mu Yan obviously had other ideas.

Jin Liancheng thought that Mu Yan would believe what he said, but unfortunately, Mu Yan said she didn't believe it at all. Jin Liancheng secretly practiced the sound attack, and

The scriptures have been accomplished, but he did not tell Mu Yan that it was because Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan were together, and Xiao Xinghan was his enemy, and he didn't want Xiao Xinghan to know.

Mu Yan is gone, Jin Liancheng sighed. After seeing Mu Yan this time, Mu Yan said that he had not changed at all compared to the past. In fact, Jin Liancheng also felt the same. He remembered the scene when he first met Mu Yan. He felt that a few years have passed, and although Mu Yan had experienced many things, she was still the decisive woman who was in charge of her. She was the first and only woman in the world that moved him...

Jin Liancheng stayed in the pagoda for a while before getting up and going out. Before going out, he had already thought about how to explain Mu Yan's departure to "Master Yuantong". In fact, he had thought for a moment whether he should leave and chose to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, but he quickly gave up this idea. At this point, he could no longer be out of the matter. He had no one at hand and could not convey the message. The opposite of his enemy Xiao Xinghan was where he should be. At that time, he would have a chance to take action!

Jinliancheng had just left the pagoda and walked a few steps when he suddenly heard a loud and distant bell sound from the pagoda. One sound did not stop, the second sounded again, then the third sound, the fourth sound, the fifth sound... Each bell was almost at a distance. When Jinliancheng and the monk guarding the pagoda rushed into the pagoda and ran up to the fourth floor, the bell rang seventeen times. Mu Yan rushed from the eighth floor of the pagoda to the ninth floor, broke out from the top of the pagoda, and flew away from the pagoda with a big bag on his back.

At this time, those who went to catch the thief, including Jin Liancheng, had just arrived at the sixth floor of the pagoda, and they didn't know that Mu Yan had left from the top.

The entire Yuanyin Temple was shocked. The bells of the pagoda have never sounded like this for so many years. There is only one possibility, that is, a thief broke into the treasure!

All the monks gathered towards the pagoda no matter where they were.

Unfortunately, the seventeen bells only happened in a short while. When they arrived, Mu Yan was already carrying a bag and disappeared.

Xuan Ku was also among the monks who rushed to the pagoda. Others were worried that the treasure would be stolen and planned to catch the thief, but Xuan Ku complained in his heart because he felt that the person who could do such a mess would not have anyone except the unscrupulous mother of his little disciple Yuan Zhan!

Xuan Ku ran towards the pagoda while feeling extremely entangled. He thought that if Mu Yan was really caught and trapped in Yuanyin Temple later, the fate would be very miserable. Although Yuanyin Temple is a temple, it is strict and a bold master once broke into the pagoda. The final result was that he was trapped in the dungeon of Yuanyin Temple. He listened to the monk chanting the Heart Sutra for him day and night. In the end, not only did he not calm him down, but he committed suicide...

Therefore, after Xuan Ku was struggling, he planned to save Mu Yan according to the situation. He could not let his baby disciple lose his mother at such a young age. Besides, Mu Yan had saved Xuan Ku, but in fact Xuan Ku also recognized this friend who always gave him a headache.

But when Xuan Ku arrived, he saw a group of monks surrounding the pagoda and looking up at the broken wooden window on the ninth floor of the pagoda. As for the treasure-stealing thief, he had long lost his shadow.

Xuan Ku breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt that Mu Yan shouldn't have done such a thing, he now thought more about just running away.

The elders and disciples guarding the pagoda, as well as Jin Liancheng, all came out of the pagoda.

Seeing that Jin Liancheng was not in the precept cave, he actually ran into the pagoda in broad daylight. Xuan Ku's expression subsided and stepped forward and asked, "Yuangui, why are you here?"

Before Jin Liancheng could answer Xuan Ku's question, "Master Yuantong" who heard the noise rushed to the scene, his face slightly darkened: "What's going on? Who did it?"

Jin Liancheng knelt down in front of "Master Yuantong" with a pounce, and said in a deep voice: "Please forgive me. My disciple wanted to persuade my brother to turn against me and convert to Buddhism, but he refused. The disciple asked him to leave Yuanyin Temple quickly. Who knew that he pretended to leave, but hid in the pagoda and stole the treasure and ran away! The disciple failed to stop it in time, and the crime was unforgivable. Please punish me!"

My brother? Xuanku frowned. Jin Liancheng had a younger brother named Lian Jin. He lived in Shenbing City and looked much better than Jin Liancheng and had a much better personality. However, Lian Jin could not come to Xingzhe Island at this time.

He thought it was Mu Yan who stole the treasure, but Jin Liancheng said it was his younger brother. What's going on?

Jin Liancheng was actually very angry. Unexpectedly, it would be fine if Mu Yan didn't cooperate with him, but before leaving, he even made him do it again! Jin Liancheng believed that if Mu Yan wanted those treasures, he would definitely have the ability to take them away without letting the bell ring. But now, Mu Yan deliberately took away the treasures so blatantly, and then escaped. Jin Liancheng not only had to explain to "Master Yuantong" why Mu Yan left, but also Mu Yan's behavior of stealing treasures.

However, Jin Liancheng believed that no matter how angry the old monk was, he would not have a public attack, because he still needed to explain to other monks in the temple, why did Jin Liancheng, who was supposed to be in the precept cave in the back mountain, run into the pagoda in broad daylight, and a younger brother appeared?

"Master Yuantong" looked at Jin Liancheng who was kneeling there, clenched his fists under his sleeves, and suddenly let go. He shook his head and sighed, "I am also wrong with this matter. Yuangui's younger brother Lian Jin came to the temple to find him secretly and sneaked into the pagoda. When he was discovered by me, he called Yuangui to go over and persuade Lian Jin, hoping that he could get on the right track and not make a living by stealing treasures. Who knew that Yuangui could not persuade him, and Lian Jin did such a thing!"

"Master Yuantong" explained the matter in just a few words. The monks looked at each other. One of the elders proposed to search the temple. If the little thief Lian Jin had not left, he would send someone to chase him, perhaps he had not gone far.

"Master Yuantong" arranged for some monks to search the entire temple, and the other part went down the mountain to chase, and they must find the Lian Jin.

"Yuangui, come with me." "Master Yuantong" said coldly.

Jin Liancheng stood up from the ground and said respectfully: "Yes."

Xuan Ku stood aside, frowned and looked at the "Master Yuantong" who took Jin Liancheng away. He looked up at the damaged window on the ninth floor of the pagoda. Suddenly, he felt that Yuanyin Temple was not like the Yuanyin Temple in the past. It was not because of Mu Yan causing trouble, but because of his master, it seemed that it was really different from before...

Xuan Ku did not search or chase him. He returned to his yard with a complicated mood. As for "Master Yuantong" who passed by his apprentice, there seemed to be some secret between his apprentice Jin Liancheng, Xuan Ku always felt that it was not appropriate.

Xuan Ku pushed open the door and was still immersed in his thoughts. Suddenly something hit him. His expression changed drastically and he subconsciously defended. As a result, he looked up and saw Mu Yan sitting in his room, with a bunch of wooden boxes spread out on the table. No need to ask what it was...

"You..." Xuan Ku sighed helplessly, "Can't you be more at ease?"

"Xuanku, did you know me the first day? Ask such nonsense." Mu Yan said with a light expression, "I actually don't have much interest in these things, I just steal them for the sake of stealing them."

Xuan Ku frowned: "What does it mean?"

"Just just to make trouble, Yuanyin Temple is too peaceful, and there are many shameful things hidden under the calmness." Mu Yan said.

"How can you..." Xuan Kuo heard Mu Yan say this, in his eyes, he was the same Yuanyin Temple as his home, so of course he was not happy.

"Xuanku, wake up." Mu Yan looked at Xuanku and said, "Your disciple Yuangui and your fake master have done so many bad things on your back. You are still foolishly thinking that the old monk is real and that Jinliancheng can be transformed. I have seen Jinliancheng in the pagoda. It was the old monk who took him to see me, in order to persuade me to be loyal to him, because Jinliancheng told the old monk that I am his younger brother and proficient in mechanism formations and poisonous techniques."

"Loyalty..." Xuan Ku fell on the chair, his face becoming extremely ugly, "He is not my master, who is he?!" If he were a real Master Yuantong, how could he do such a thing?

"I also want to know who he is, so I want to mess up Yuanyin Temple as messed up as possible, so that he will show more flaws." Mu Yan said with a deep look, "As for you, when I leave, let me leave Yuanyin Temple and go down the mountain to return to secular life!"

Xuan Ku frowned: "Why should I return to secular life? If something happened to my master, I should stay and find out the truth."
To be continued...
