By the time everyone regained their senses, they found that the Zither Master's ship had already quietly retreated, leaving behind a large empty space.
"This … Miss Jun! Miss Jun! "The witness was dumbfounded. He repeatedly called out and chased after her.
Jun Lu Lu's calm voice came from the bow of the ship. It was somewhat indifferent, "I'm sorry. The Zither Master will withdraw from this Grand Gathering of the Three Masters. "
The big ship slowly sailed away. That person was dumbstruck.
Withdraw … withdraw?
"What's the point of continuing?" Diwu Qing Rou snorted and said, "It's clear who will win and who will lose. What's the use of having witnesses like you? As for the Grand Gathering of the Three Masters, it's intolerably vulgar to provoke hundreds of thousands of secular people to gather here. What's the difference between this and the competition for the top courtesan of a brothel? "
The witnesses were speechless. They didn't dare to reply to the most powerful person of Great Zhao.
"She's just pretending to be aloof." The Transverse Flute Master coldly snorted.
"Oh? Don't tell me you think that your reputation as the Transverse Flute Master is stronger than hers? " Diwu Qing Rou was somewhat dissatisfied. He could faintly sense the Zither Master's attitude, [She disdains to participate in this level of competition.
So she left.
But she has already left. Yet, you're still chirping. You don't have any self-awareness. You're not on the same level. Why are you not convinced?]
"I don't dare. She is indeed stronger than me." The Transverse Flute Master spoke the truth, "But, her attitude is too aloof. It makes people dislike her."
"You'll be the same if you reach such a height." Diwu Qing Rou sighed slightly, "This is another realm … it's lonely at the top."
"The Grand Gathering of the Three Masters has ended without any result since the Zither Master has left." The Transverse Flute Master bitterly bit her lips.
"She and you are not in the same world." Diwu Qing Rou insipidly said, "You should rejoice."
The Transverse Flute Master sighed and said, "Prime Minister, you must've come here to instruct me, right?" She naturally understood Diwu Qing Rou's meaning. [It's better to end like this than to end after everyone's evaluation.] [At least I didn't lose on the surface. but in my heart.]
"I want to know about this person." Diwu Qing Rou pointed at the portrait on the table, "Tell me everything you know, little by little … Tell me everything, big or small."
His voice contained an order that could not be disobeyed!
"This person … I don't know much about him. I only came to know about him when he destroyed the Flute Master's appearance. From that time onwards, I began to understand him. Only then did I know that this person had been staying on this Lotus Lake for a long time," the Transverse Flute Master recalled for a moment before she slowly explained.
"I have stayed on the Lotus Lake for a long time..." Diwu Qing Rou gently rubbed his temples. His eyes were as deep as the sea.
The Transverse Flute Master said slowly.
Diwu Qing Rou continued to calculate, speculate, overturn, and reconstruct in his heart...
In that instant, he had already thought of dozens of possibilities, and then eliminated one of them in his mind.
By the time the Zither Master finished speaking, Diwu Qing Rou had already drawn two lines in his heart.
One clue: If this person is the Master of Calamity Sword, then … what is his purpose of coming here? Why did he stay at the Lotus Lake for so long?
This person, after appearing at Lotus Lake to fight with Duke Yu, returned to this place … There must be a reason for this.
Lotus Lake, could it be that … there was something about it that attracted him?
Another line of thought: What would happen if he wasn't the master of the Calamity Sword? Who could it be? Could it be... King of Hell Chu or one of King of Hell Chu's people?
But no matter which possibility it is, this Lotus Lake should be the main point.
Diwu Qing Rou's heart was fiercely pondering, but his face was calm.
The Transverse Flute Master looked at Diwu Qing Rou with apprehension after she had finished speaking. She didn't dare to make any noise for fear of disturbing Diwu Qing Rou's train of thought.
Diwu Qing Rou was like a towering mountain in the Transverse Flute Master's eyes. He could crush her body and crush her bones with one move.
"Forget it." Diwu Qing Rou opened his eyes and said, "Is there anything else?"
"That's all," the Transverse Flute Master lowered her head and said. She had told him everything, including her attempt to make that person steal the zither. She didn't want to talk about such a shameful matter, but she realized that she couldn't hide anything under Diwu Qing Rou's gaze.
He had no choice but to blurt it all out.
"Well, I'll give you some advice since you're quite frank." Diwu Qing Rou slowly said, "If you want to protect your life... immediately change your name and leave the prefecture. Go as far as you can in the shortest time. The more remote, the better!"
"Why?" The Transverse Flute Master's complexion turned deathly pale. Her mind went blank in an instant. She was a girl from a musical family. She was lucky enough to participate in the Gathering of the Three Masters. So, she made up her mind to become famous at all costs. She wanted to stay in the prefecture and have the opportunity to associate with influential people.
She wanted to be the center of attention.
She had paid a lot for this as a girl in addition to her own efforts.
Changing her name and leaving the prefecture... wouldn't that mean that her life's work would be wasted?
"There's no reason."
Diwu Qing Rou calmly said, "This is your own disaster. So, you have to bear it. You won't be able to protect your life if you don't leave. Even now... it's hard to say whether you'll be able to protect yourself. "
Diwu Qing Rou stood up and walked out after he finished speaking.
"Prime Minister, please show me the way." The Transverse Flute Master immediately knelt down.
"There are some people you can't afford to offend." Diwu Qing Rou said, "Even if it's just an idea that hasn't been implemented, it's a crime that must be killed in the eyes of some people."
"Prime Minister, are you talking about... the matter of stealing the zither?" the Transverse Flute Master asked with a pale complexion.
"Yes..." Diwu Qing Rou slowly said, "There are some people you can't afford to offend. The most important thing in Jianghu is to have a good eye. If you provoke someone you shouldn't provoke... you won't have a good end. "
Diwu Qing Rou disembarked from the boat after he finished speaking.
The Transverse Flute Master took two steps back in a daze. Then, she suddenly fell down on a chair. Her whole body was powerless. It seemed that she couldn't stand up. She had never imagined that the zither master, who was also one of the three masters, was a super force that she couldn't even imagine.
[Is there such a big gap between people?]
Diwu Qing Rou had just disembarked from the boat when he saw Duke Yu walking towards him. He sighed in his heart. Then, he went forward to greet him, "Brother Yu didn't leave."
"I still have something to do." Duke Yu insipidly said, "It has nothing to do with you."
"Nothing happened, right?" Diwu Qing Rou insipidly said.
"Her intentions are punishable!" Duke Yu stopped his footsteps. He suddenly became silent and said, "Do you want to protect her?"
"No." Diwu Qing Rou said, "I just asked her a few things. That can be considered as helping me. But, I won't stop Brother Yu if you want to kill her. "
In the eyes of people like them, the death of a thousand people like the Transverse Flute Master was insignificant. It was just a matter of a few words.
Duke Yu snorted and said, "Diwu Qing Rou, I won't kill her. She's just a flute player. There's no harm in giving you face. But... one of our people from Bamboo will be staying here for a while. "
"You mean to say that you want me to take care of her?" Diwu Qing Rou suddenly smiled, "Does Bamboo need me to take care of her?"
Duke Yu smiled, "This is Great Zhao. Diwu Qing Rou's territory. You've said these words before. "
Diwu Qing Rou also gave a rare laugh.
Then, a person arrived in front of him.
"His name is Jun Qing Yang." Duke Yu casually said, "Brother Diwu, please make things convenient for him. Ha ha... "
Diwu Qing Rou also laughed. He glanced at this Jun Qing Yang. He was about forty years old. His hair was a bit weather-beaten. His eyes, hands, eyes, and skin color made it clear that this person had experienced some hardships.
Some bitterness!
Even the turbidity in his eyes could give rise to a feeling of life.
[This person's position in Bamboo must not be low.] Diwu Qing Rou politely nodded as this thought arose in his mind. But, he had a strange feeling in his heart, [This person seems very familiar...]
"Brother Jun... have we met before?" Diwu Qing Rou asked cautiously.
"Prime Minister Diwu, this is the first time I've come to Lower Three Heavens." Jun Qing Yang's voice was very strange. It sounded like the friction of metal.
"No wonder. So, it's King Level Master Jun." Diwu Qing Rou suddenly felt relieved.
Jun Qing Yang was an important person in Bamboo. He was a King Level Master. This person had been seriously injured when he was young. His throat had been cut. He had survived, but his vocal tract had been damaged. His voice had been very strange after his injury had healed. It had made people's hair stand on end.
He was known as the King Level Master of the underworld of Lower Three Heavens!
Diwu Qing Rou knew this person, but he had never seen him. So, he recognized him when he heard this voice. That was because one could not find a second person with such a voice in the world!
"Prime Minister can call me Ghost Voice." Jun Qing Yang smiled and said, "People have been calling me that for decades..."
"Haha..." Diwu Qing Rou laughed. But, the doubt in his heart had disappeared. He said, "King Level Master Jun has come here personally. What else does he need to take care of?"
"He is injured. His cultivation is somewhat damaged..." Duke Yu frowned and said, "So... Fifth Ghost..."
"Brother Yu, don't worry." Diwu Qing Rou said straightforwardly, "I don't dare to boast about other things. But... if someone in Great Zhao were to hurt my guest... then I would become a joke."
Duke Yu smiled meaningfully, "I believe these words."
Jun Qing Yang also smiled gently. His eyes flickered as he said, "Then, I will have to trouble Prime Minister. I will go to Lotus Lake to try my luck. I will see if I can find the Knotted Lotus Root. If I can't find it, then I will leave the prefecture and look for it elsewhere... haha... "
Diwu Qing Rou understood. The Knotted Lotus Root had a well-known property — it could heal injuries to the voice. It seemed that this King Level Master Ghost Voice cared a lot about his own voice even though he didn't say it...
"No harm. I will send people to assist you!" Diwu Qing Rou smiled.
