The Cheng family's announcement did not only contain the names of these 17 people. More importantly, the Cheng family had made it clear that these 17 people were the ones who had been trying to cause trouble in the Cheng family. However, after an investigation, these people had all escaped from the Cheng family. The Cheng family hoped that everyone would not panic and continue to watch and participate in the competition.
As soon as this news came out, everyone suddenly realized that someone had been trying to cause trouble in the Cheng family.
However, with the Cheng family's power, they had the ability to solve these problems.
Therefore, in just two days, the Cheng family had returned to normal.
To most of them, this was just a small interlude in the Cheng family's life.
However, for Elder Tang and the others, they had escaped a calamity.
"Elder Tang, did Xu Shouwang and the others really leave the Cheng family?" Ji Wuping and the others were very confused when they saw the announcement.
Did they not say that Xu Shouwang and Zhao Zhan had entered the Yunfeng Pagoda? Why would they leave the Cheng family now?
Also, if they had really left the Yunfeng Pagoda, they should have come looking for Elder Tang. Why would they leave without even saying goodbye to Elder Tang?
"I think the Cheng family is just giving themselves a way out of this embarrassing situation," Elder Tang said after careful consideration.
"Elder Tang, are you saying that the Cheng family has no idea whether these people have left the Cheng family or not?" Zhang Peng said.
"That should be the case. The only thing they found out was that these people were missing. However, they couldn't find these people, so they could only say that they had left the Cheng family.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing for such a big family to not be able to find these people in front of so many lower sects and spectators? "Elder Tang analyzed.
"If that's the case, then Xu Shouwang and the others should still be in the Yunfeng Pagoda," Zhou Tiancheng said.
"They must still be in the Pagoda, but it's hard to say whether they're dead or alive," Ji Wuping said.
"Whether they're dead or alive, at least their disappearance saved our lives. Now the Cheng family thinks that these people who disappeared are the ones who kidnapped the Cheng family disciple.
If they hadn't disappeared, we would have all been exposed! "Fang Ping said with great relief.
Because they did not show their faces when they were kidnapped, the Cheng family disciple did not know their true faces.
It just so happened that Xu Shouwang and the others had disappeared, so this matter was naturally thrown to them, allowing them to successfully escape.
"That's true, but I'm a little curious. Back then, there were only four of us. Now that seventeen people have disappeared, how can they be sure that we are four of these seventeen people? "Zhang Peng was puzzled.
"What's so strange about that? From the Cheng family's point of view, although we kidnapped four people, it doesn't mean that there are only four of us.
Besides, it just so happens that Xu Shouwang and the others have disappeared. If we're not together, how could there be such a coincidence?
Moreover, how could the Cheng family think so much? They only know that seventeen people are missing, so they naturally treat the four people that were kidnapped as four of them! "Zhou Tiancheng explained.
"That's true. They're not gods. How could they know that the kidnappers never left the Cheng family!" Zhang Peng said with a smile.
No matter what, they were finally safe.
Fortunately, the timing they chose was quite coincidental. It just so happened that Xu Shouwang and the others had not returned yet.
If Xu Shouwang and the others had returned, this matter would not have ended so easily. The Cheng family would have turned the world upside down to find the kidnappers.
"Of course we've escaped, but what should we do now? The Cheng family's investigation is over. Does this mean that we can continue with the next mission? "Ji Wuping asked.
"There's no rush. Although this matter has been settled, the Cheng family has just been in trouble. They will definitely increase their security.
Therefore, we should stay calm at this time. We should at least wait for a few days and let them let their guard down before we make any further plans.
In particular, we need to find out if the guard time at Yunfeng Pagoda has changed and if their guards will still be resting at midnight! "Elder Tang reminded everyone.
"You're right, Elder Tang. The Cheng family's competition is only halfway through anyway. Since we don't plan to carry out the next mission, this is the only mission left. We still have enough time to complete it, so there's no need to rush! "Zhou Tiancheng agreed.
"That's not a problem. I just have some thoughts, but I'm not sure if I should say them!" Ji Wuping said.
"Just say what you want to say!" Elder Tang said.
"Elder Tang, my thoughts are that because the Cheng family has just been through this incident, they might not have thought that someone would dare to go against the wind at this time.
Also, the Cheng family thinks that the kidnappers have really escaped from the Cheng family. It's impossible for the Cheng family to cause trouble at the Cheng family now, so they might be more relaxed than before, "Ji Wuping said.
"That …" Elder Tang fell silent.
He was seriously thinking about Ji Wuping's words. This kind of thing was not impossible.
"What do you guys think?" Elder Tang asked the others after he pondered for a while.
"I think Wuping's words are not unreasonable, but isn't this too risky? What if the Cheng family hasn't relaxed their guard and has increased their security? "Zhang Peng said after some thought.
"That's right. I think it's safer to act after some time," Fang Ping said.
"Maybe we can observe the situation outside first. For example, if the guards at Yunfeng Pagoda are still resting. If they are the same as before, it means that they have indeed relaxed their guard.
However, if they increase their security and stop resting, it means that they haven't relaxed their guard.
Under these circumstances, it's impossible for us to act even if we want to, "Zhou Tiancheng analyzed.
"Yes, Tiancheng is right. You guys observe the situation at Yunfeng Pagoda tonight! If there's no problem, I'll gather everyone to act together.
If it doesn't work, then our mission can only be postponed. We'll see how things go after a period of time! "Elder Tang finally made his decision.
"Okay!" The four of them nodded. This was the safest way.
Whether the Cheng family had relaxed their guard or not, they had to observe the situation first.
That night, Ji Wuping and the other three sneaked out of Yunfeng Pagoda.
Unfortunately, there were 12 guards at the Yunfeng Pagoda tonight. Usually, there were only four guards at the pagoda.
"Looks like you're wrong. The Cheng family hasn't relaxed their guard. Instead, they've increased their security. It's impossible for us to enter Yunfeng Pagoda now!" Seeing so many guards around Yunfeng Pagoda, Zhou Tiancheng suddenly felt that Ji Wuping's plan was no longer feasible.
"Even so, we still have to wait until midnight to see if they're resting. As long as they're resting, we can still enter Yunfeng Pagoda during that time! "Ji Wuping said.
"Yes, let's wait and see!" The others nodded and waited patiently in a hidden place.
At the end of the period, when twelve more people came to take over the responsibility of the twelve guards, Ji Wuping completely gave up his idea.
"It's over for us now. They really don't plan to rest anymore," Zhang Peng said in despair.
"It's fine if it's just like this. At least we'll have a chance later. But if they plan to continue like this until the end of the competition, then we really won't stand a chance at all! "Zhou Tiancheng said.
"That can't be, right?" Fang Ping said worriedly.
"Nothing is impossible. After all, the Cheng family hasn't found Xu Shouwang and the others. Maybe they're just giving us an excuse when they say that the 17 people have left the Cheng family.
Maybe they're still in the Cheng family looking for them, "Zhou Tiancheng said.
"If that's the case, then isn't it very dangerous for us to stay here? Why don't we leave quickly? "Zhang Peng said nervously.
"Let's go. Now that we know that they've increased their security, we really don't have any chance at the moment. We can only come back in a few days.
If they've removed the extra guards, then it means that the Cheng family has indeed let down their guard! " Ji Wuping had also confirmed the Cheng family's current attitude. They really couldn't enter Yunfeng Pagoda right now.
He went back and told Elder Tang the news. Although Elder Tang was a little disappointed, they were still small in number. They could only wait patiently in the Cheng family's territory and find another time to carry out the mission.
Therefore, for the next 10 days, they didn't care about the mission anymore. They stopped contacting each other. It was as if they were really just there to watch the competition.
However, they knew that they still had an important mission waiting for them to complete.
They just didn't know when that day would come.
In fact, most of them didn't want that day to come.
Since Xu Shouwang, Zhao Zhan, and the others had failed their mission, everyone thought that it would be too difficult for them to complete it.
Even if Elder Tang led them into Yunfeng Pagoda, they might not be able to complete it.
Moreover, they saw that the Cheng family and the other sects had so many outstanding young disciples. They all felt that it was an impossible mission.
Therefore, they didn't want to carry out the mission at all. They only hoped that the competition would end quickly so that they could take the opportunity to leave the Cheng family with the other spectators.
