Chapter 293 - The Mastermind

Lu Zijia entered the living room and saw that Mu Tianyan was also there, sitting opposite Song Zixuan at this moment.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit weird right now.

“What’s the matter, Master Song?” Lu Zijia walked over and sat next to Mu Tianyan casually.

She sat next to Mu Tianyan only because the couch on Mu Tianyan’s side was closer.

However, Mu Tianyan was very satisfied with her choice.

Song Zixuan, who was already in a bad mood, immediately felt a chill in his heart after hearing what she said.

“Can’t I come to see you for no reason?” Song Zixuan said a bit angrily.

He thought that they were already friends after spending those days together, but it seemed that he was thinking too much!

This feeling of not being treated as a friend by Lu Zijia undoubtedly made his mood even worse instantly.

Lu Zijia glanced at him in confusion. “If nothing happened, why are you here?”

Besides, this unlucky man looked obviously like something happened. She wasn’t blind.

Lu Zijia didn’t understand Song Zixuan’s frequent “insincerity.”

Song Zixuan immediately felt anger stuck in his throat after hearing her question. He almost suffocated to death.

“Alright, I do have something to tell you.”

Song Zixuan finally gave up the small talk with her as a friend and said directly, “The matter in Zhao Village has been dealt with. The Zhao family gave the families of the victims who were killed by Jiang Jinfu a sum of money respectively, which can be considered as atoning for their sins.

“Uncle Zhao also turned himself in. Since he had been on the run for many years, he was still sentenced to life imprisonment in the end.

“Also, Uncle Zhao asked me to thank you on his behalf. Thank you for saving him and for giving him a chance to atone for his sins.”

“Oh.”

Lu Zijia nodded without much emotion after hearing that. Apparently, she was a bit indifferent and cold.

In fact, Lu Zijia couldn’t be blamed for being so indifferent. Life and death were too common in the cultivation world, so it wasn’t strange that she would become numb.

“Is there anything else?” Lu Zijia took the initiative to ask after thinking for a while.

Song Zixuan, who felt like he couldn’t communicate with Lu Zijia: “!!!” Could he just leave with a flick of his sleeve?

“Yes!”

Song Zixuan took a deep breath and spat out every word one by one while gritting his teeth, “We’ve caught Master Li and we’ve also asked him about the mastermind.”

Master Li was the Taoist Master who was hired by Song Zixuan’s aunt, Song Zhuolan, to harm the Song family.

Lu Zijia’s eyes turned slightly. “Isn’t it good that you’ve figured out who the mastermind was? Or, the mastermind is someone the Song family can’t deal with and you want my help?”

Song Zixuan calmed down and glanced at Mu Tianyan with a fearful and complicated look. “No.”

Lu Zijia narrowed her eyes and looked at him with something in her mind, waiting for what he was going to say next.

“Song Zhuolan and Ye Mingyang did order Master Li to set the Mu family up, but the biggest mastermind…”

Song Zixuan spoke as he looked at Mu Tianyan again and said a name clearly, “It’s Mu Zhengyuan.”

Mu Zhengyuan was the previous leader of the Mu family, also Mu Tianyan’s father. He had already passed away.

Hearing the name of his father, Mu Tianyan’s eyes focused and he stared at Song Zixuan with an unusually fierce gaze.

Song Zixuan immediately felt like a prey that was targeted by a hunter and his mind shook abruptly.

However, he forced himself to hang on and not to retreat.

“I’m telling the truth.” Song Zixuan said with difficulty under the pressure that almost crushed him.
