State Teacher's words of congratulations made Junko ecstatic. She quickly bowed and said: "Everything is thanks to State Teacher."
State Teacher shook his head and said: "This is the result of your hard work and luck. This sword is like autumn water. Why don't you call it autumn water sword?"
Junko excitedly said: "Thank you State Teacher for the name." She subconsciously stroked the sword. "From now on this sword will be called autumn water."
State Teacher nodded with gratification. Then he turned to Li Xiaotian and asked: "Miss Xiaotian, why are you looking for me?"
"State Teacher, I heard from Junko that she found Tang Zheng's whereabouts. So I came to inquire." Li Xiaotian said.
The Imperial Tutor looked at Junko without batting an eyelid. Junko understood and said, "Reporting to the Imperial Tutor, Tang Zheng took the initiative to appear outside the Imperial Residence. We couldn't, couldn't capture him."
"Hehe, he is a cultivator. His cultivation is high. How could he be captured alive so easily?" The Imperial Tutor said dismissively.
"Since he has appeared, there must be something else."
"State Teacher has a divine foresight. He asked me to pass a few words to you." Junko said while looking at Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian was unmoved. He didn't have any intention to avoid suspicion. Instead, he waited for her to speak with interest.
Seeing that the State Preceptor had no objection, Junko suppressed the displeasure in her heart and truthfully repeated Tang Zheng's words.
State Teacher heard this but didn't get angry. Instead, he looked at Li Xiaotian and said: "This person really hasn't given up. He wants to know the answer to the island."
"Actually, I also want to know the answer." Li Xiaotian said with a smile.
State Teacher chuckled and said: "The inside story of this matter is too complicated. It's better to know less."
Li Xiaotian was unmoved and calmly said: "I am a very curious person. I want to know more."
"Hehe, is that so?" State Teacher gave a meaningful laugh.
Suddenly, his tone changed as he said, "I can tell you the truth. The people on that island have all been imprisoned."
"Imprisoned?" Li Xiaotian's expression changed greatly.
Since Wu Junshan and the others were living on the island, they must be extremely powerful, even terrifying. Who in this world could imprison them?
Li Xiaotian felt that all of this was inconceivable. If it was someone else who said this, she would definitely think that it was a fantasy story and that the other party was lying to her.
However, since it came from the Grand Tutor's mouth, there was no doubt about it.
"Yes, those people are a huge threat, not only to the Island nation, but also to the martial artists of Hua Xia, so someone told me this news, and then I thought of a way to imprison them." The Imperial Advisor said lightly.
Li Xiaotian's face stiffened. He seemed to have thought of a possibility and asked tentatively, "Who told you this news?"
"Then who told you to come to the Island nation?" State Teacher didn't answer and asked back.
Li Xiaotian was startled and blurted out: "Palace Master!"
State Teacher chuckled and didn't say anything else.
Li Xiaotian was shocked. She didn't expect that all of this was controlled by the Palace Master, especially the whereabouts of Wu Junshan and the others. Even she didn't know about it, but the Palace Master knew about it and even hid it from her.
This feeling of not being trusted made her very uncomfortable.
Of course, she didn't doubt the authenticity of State Teacher's words because the Palace Master didn't give her any specific orders. He only said that when the time was right, she would naturally know everything.
Now that the time was right, she actually learned this news from an outsider. A feeling of being deceived arose spontaneously.
Junko looked at State Teacher and Li Xiaotian with mixed feelings. She didn't know the information conveyed by these words.
She didn't know what State Teacher was hiding from her.
Of course, she didn't have the slightest anger or resentment because State Teacher's image in her mind was too high and couldn't be questioned.
Since he didn't say it, there must be a reason. She only needed to silently watch.
"Why did the Palace Master tell you this news?" After pondering for a long time, Li Xiaotian asked.
"Maybe she thinks her strength is not enough to deal with those people."
"Nonsense." Li Xiaotian shouted. His anger gradually replaced his reverence for the Imperial Preceptor.
Junko heard this and flew into a rage. She stood in front of Li Xiaotian and glared at him: "Don't be rude to State Teacher."
Li Xiaotian snorted and was about to fly into a rage when State Teacher said: "Junko, don't worry. Miss Li, your Palace Master is far-sighted. She told me this news, of course, there must be a deep meaning. As for what I said just now, only I have the strength to deal with those people, it's not an arrogant statement. Because, the facts are the best proof. "
Li Xiaotian took a few deep breaths. There were more and more questions in his mind, as if they were about to rush out from the top of his head.
Why did the Palace Master do all this? Why did she ask others to do it?
Was it really like State Teacher said, only he had the strength to deal with Wu Junshan and the others quietly?
But she really couldn't see how State Teacher was more powerful than Wu Junshan or the Palace Master.
State Teacher must be a grandmaster. As for the level of grandmaster, Li Xiaotian certainly couldn't see, but he couldn't be so powerful that he could easily imprison Wu Junshan and the others.
In short, all of this was too strange.
"Then where did you imprison those people?" Li Xiaotian asked unwillingly.
State Teacher smiled mysteriously and said: "You don't need to worry about that."
"But Tang Zheng has given an ultimatum. If you don't tell him what happened on the island, or even let those people go, the Emperor will die. This kind of loss is difficult to make up for for your country."
State Teacher laughed out loud: "He wants to threaten me. I'm really curious how far he can go in the end."
As he said this, State Teacher silently thought in his heart: Tang Zheng is a cultivator. Just this identity alone is enough for me to capture him. He has hidden secrets that need to be unearthed.
"You don't want to care about the life and death of the Emperor anymore?" Hearing State Teacher's answer, Li Xiaotian's heart was filled with doubts and asked.
State Teacher laughed mysteriously, but didn't answer this question.
Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information, Li Xiaotian could only helplessly say: "If there is any news, please let me know."
With that, he turned around and walked out of the small wooden house. Looking at the gradually darkening sky, her heart was in a mess.
Why did the Palace Master do all this? Why did he ask her to come to the Island nation at this time? Was it really to treat the Emperor's illness?
There were too many doubts and mysteries in this.
She walked in the darkness with one foot and one foot, her head in a mess. Unknowingly, she actually came to the side of the Sword Forest.
Eh?
She stopped in her tracks and raised her head to look at the dark and deep Sword Forest. It was as if many towering swords were erected in front of her, and a murderous aura rushed towards her.
"Is the Sword Forest really as powerful as the legends say?" She had heard too many legends about the Sword Forest in the past few days.
Although she didn't practice swordsmanship, she knew a little about it. Many of the State Teacher's Residence's predecessors had comprehended swordsmanship from the Sword Forest. This definitely showed that the Sword Forest was not just powerful and mysterious.
"The State Teacher's Residence is full of mysteries and it's not a good idea for me to stay here aimlessly. Why don't I explore the Sword Forest and see if I can find anything?"
She immediately did as she thought, and her eyes immediately became determined.
Although the State Teacher's Residence had repeatedly ordered that outsiders were not allowed to enter the Sword Forest, the prideful her didn't take this order to heart.
Moreover, her curiosity towards the State Teacher's Residence had increased greatly. It was necessary and necessary for her to find out something.
When she first met the State Teacher, the two of them had a long private conversation. Outsiders didn't know the content of their conversation, but in fact, there weren't many secrets that couldn't be revealed.
However, there was one thing that Li Xiaotian could confirm from the conversation with the State Teacher that the Palace Master and the State Teacher were old acquaintances. Their friendship seemed to be quite deep.
Although Li Xiaotian was still a little brooding about this matter, he didn't show it.
In fact, Li Xiaotian looked down on people from the Island nation. This time, he was acting under orders, so he was so close to people from the Island nation.
However, she really didn't understand why Palace Master White, who had a high status and amazing strength, wanted to mix with the State Teacher of the Island nation.
"Humph, since you don't want to tell me the answer directly, I'll find it myself. I'll start with the Sword Forest and dig out the secrets of the State Teacher's Residence." Li Xiaotian was determined and strode into the Sword Forest.
The Sword Forest was pitch black, but there wasn't a trace of mosquitoes or frogs. It was eerily silent.
Li Xiaotian walked in with a calm expression and began to wander in the Sword Forest.
The bright moonlight sprinkled down. There was a faint light in the Sword Forest, so it wasn't dark.
The Sword Forest wasn't big. Li Xiaotian wandered around for more than ten minutes, but he didn't find any clues.
The Sword Forest was no different from an ordinary bamboo forest, but why did it become an important place of the State Teacher's Residence?
The State Teacher's Residence had been passed down for so many years. How could they treat a useless bamboo forest as a treasure? This meant that the Sword Forest was definitely not as simple as it looked.
She wandered around two more times unwillingly, but still found nothing. She was almost in despair.
"Maybe it's thanks to the State Teacher's disciple that I had the opportunity to comprehend the swordsmanship." She shook her head helplessly and walked out of the Sword Forest dejectedly.
After walking for a while, she found that there were still towering bamboos in all directions. The path she came from had disappeared.
"Huh?"
She didn't panic. Instead, she looked around with interest. There were identical bamboos all around her. There was no sense of direction or specific road signs.
"I'm lost. But I didn't realize how big the Sword Forest was. How could I be lost? "She muttered unwillingly.
She was never one to admit defeat easily. Since she was lost, she would find another way.
If these bamboos were in her way, she didn't mind chopping down the bamboos to clear a path.
"There's something strange about the Sword Forest." She stopped in her tracks. She knew that running around like a headless fly would definitely cause problems. She looked into the distance, and all she could see were tall green bamboos.
