Chapter 353 The Game
Looking at Dhammapala Yan who had stopped breathing on the ground, Mu Yi was sure he was dead, but the specific cause of death was a mystery . It didn’t seem like poisoning, nor had he been secretly assassinated . It seemed that he had suffered from a backfire .
At this point, all the other people in the yard were dead . Although a hindrance was solved, there was no smile on Mu Yi’s face . The leader was more mysterious than he had thought . Especially now he was in the light, the leader was hiding in the dark, so the situation was unfavorable for him .
“Nian Nuer, take Big Slave to set everyone free,” Mu Yi ordered and remained behind to search Dhammapala Yan’s room . Unfortunately, until Nian Nuer came back, he didn’t find any useful clues . The room was too clean with nothing left .
“Brother, those people are so pitiful . ”
When Nian Nuer came back, there was a sullen expression on her little face . What she had seen had a great impact on her .
Mu Yi touched the little girl’s head and said, “They are pitiful indeed, but there are many people in the world who are more pitiful than them . We can’t help them more, and it’s not good for them to have a relationship with us . ” She seemed to have understood and then left with Mu Yi .
After Mu Yi left, there was a gust of wind in the yard . When the wind dissipated, a figure appeared in the yard . He was covered in a black robe, so no one could see his face .
“Well, you just couldn’t do anything right . ” The figure came to stand over Dhammapala Yan . He waved his hand gently, then a bug crawled from his body . He took it .
“The man who killed my men will have to repay sooner or later . ”

The figure disappeared in a flash .
Mu Yi didn’t go back immediately but brought Nian Nuer and Big Slave to the prison of Qingjiang Prefecture . Because of the strict security, Mu Yi didn’t go in but let Nian Nuer sneak in to have a look at Su Jinlun’s situation .
Either because of their friendship or Su Chongshan’s trust, he couldn’t let him get hurt . Although it was easy to rescue him with Mu Yi’s strength, it would be hard to deal with the anger of the public .
Mu Yi didn’t intend to offend the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi, so he couldn’t break into the prison . Otherwise, it would bring disaster to the Su Clan .
It was not long before Nian Nuer flew out of the prison and told Mu Yi about Su Jinlun’s situation .
Su Jinlun had been beaten with a whip when he had entered the prison . He had suffered a little from knife wounds . Then, he stayed in his cell . However, Nian Nuer also said that there were many people lurking around . The prisoner in the opposite cell was a first-class expert in disguise, so Nian Nuer hadn’t disturbed Su Jinlun . She just had a look at him and came back .
“You did a good job,” Mu Yi praised Nian Nuer, and she laughed happily .
Since Su Jinlun was okay, so Mu Yi relaxed . He didn’t immediately go to the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi . He couldn’t understand his temperament . In addition, he had just killed Dhammapala Yan and so many experts of the Church of the Thousand Children . He needed to see his reaction .
So Mu Yi went back to the secret place of the Su Clan and asked Su Yun to continue to seek information, especially about the Church of the Thousand Children .

Although Su Yun didn’t understand the plan, he obeyed the order . He didn’t think much of Mu Yi .
The next day, the third day, was calm . The death of Dhammapala Yan did not spread, and the manor outside the city was silent as if nothing had happened .
So many people had died and so many poor women had escaped, but the news was blocked . There must be some other power involved . Mu Yi thought it might be the mysterious leader, but he couldn’t find any clues .
As for the governor’s residence, nothing had happened . Even Su Jinlun seemed to have been forgotten . However, Su Yun still sensed some undercurrents moving beneath the calm though he had no information about it .
On the fourth day, Mu Yi went to the governor’s residence . No one knew what had happened, but Su Jinlun was released, which confused and shocked Su Yun .
In his view, it was very difficult to save Su Jinlun because of the governor and the Church of the Thousand Children . However, Mu Yi had just gone out at night once and gone to the governor’s residence . He had stayed here for the rest of the time but successfully saved him .
Su Yun had to admit that his master’s judgment was right . He had found a strange man like Mu Yi . Although Mu Yi didn’t wear a Taoist robe, his hair revealed his identity clearly .
He would have had his head cut off if he kept his hair as only Taoists were entitled to keep their hair .
Although Su Yun was curious about what Mu Yi had said to the governor, he also knew his status and understood that he could not ask, so it remained a mystery in his mind .

After Su Jinlun was released from prison, he seemed more mature . At the moment he had been released, he had known that it must have been Mu Yi who had helped him . He hadn’t been surprised to know the truth, so when he saw Mu Yi, Su Jinlun thanked him .
“Sorry to bother you again . ”
“I wish you well . This time it was mainly because of me that you were arrested . I brought this trouble to you, so I had to save you,” Mu Yi said, and this was the fact .
If it were not for the purpose of attracting him, they would not have imprisoned Su Jinlun .
On the surface, this matter had been solved, but Mu Yi knew that it was far from over . First of all, the leader had never appeared . Mu Yi had waited for two days for him to come, but there had been no reaction .
The leader’s attitude was clear, so Mu Yi had gone to the governor’s residence in the human-skin mask left by Bachelor Jia . Although he had always kept it, he did not use it frequently .
If the governor was not been stupid, he could have guessed his identity, but sometimes things were like this . In the absence of disclosure, everyone pretended that nothing had happened . In addition, Mu Yi had shown up in person, so the governor naturally knew what to do .
Because the two sides did not offend each openly, even if the governor wanted to harm the Su Clan, he had to consider his own life first . Until Mu Yi was dead, they would not harm the Su Clan . Even though the Su Clan had some strength, the governor didn’t really care .
All the cards were on the table . When the Church of the Thousand Children had chosen to retreat, everything had been predetermined .
Mu Yi was clearly strong enough to garner his cooperation and deter any retaliation .
“It’s an honor to be associated with Taoist priest . ” Su Jinlun smiled and didn’t mind . Although Su Jinlun was the hope of the Su Clan, Mu Yi was the backer of the Su Clan . Even if he had died in prison, the Su Clan would not lose anything . On the contrary, it might have prospered .
Mu Yi thought for a moment and said, “Well, the business in Qingjiang Prefecture can be done as usual, but you should not stay here in the future . You can go to other places for development, and I will live on the mountain for a while . You can consult with Mr . Su and choose three people to go up the mountain . ”
“Thank you, Taoist Priest . ”
Su Jinlun was very happy after hearing this . He understood that Mu Yi wanted to teach some skills to those who were chosen to go up the mountain . After that, the three men would be responsible for protecting his father, grandfather and himself .
In this way, Mu Yi’s connection with the Su Clan became deeper . Su Jinlun believed that his grandfather would definitely agree without hesitation . As for who to choose, he believed that the old man must have an idea .
After saying goodbye to Su Jinlun, Mu Yi took Big Slave back to the mountain . Su Jinlun went to sort out the collapse of the business in Qingjiang Prefecture . Even if he wanted to leave, he couldn’t leave now, so he sent someone back to deliver the news .
The day after Mu Yi had returned to the mountain, Su Chongshan took people to the mountain . Mu Yi knew two of the three people following Su Chongshan . One was Su Yan . When Mu Yi had fought Xu Gui, Su Yan had shot the arrow . He was one of the rare experts of the Su Clan . What’s more, he was absolutely loyal .
Only these kinds of loyal people were worth cultivating . Ungrateful people would be a disaster for the clan .
The other one was Su Yun, who had parted with him not long ago . Maybe because Su Chongshan had said something to him and the things he had seen and heard in Qingjiang Prefecture, his eyes on Mu Yi were more fanatical .
The last one was a seemingly dull young man named Wang Cheng . He wasn’t family, but since Su Chongshan chose to let him come, he must have his reason . The man had to be absolutely trustworthy .
Mu Yi let the three stay without saying much . With the experience of teaching Wang Tieniu, he was now familiar with it . What’s more, the foundations of the three were good . Su Yan was a second-class expert, and the other two were third-class experts . This starting point was much higher than Wang Tieniu .
