Lu Ping and Zi Mu saw the masked man's panic. Zi Mu did not know what was going on. When he heard the masked man's shout, he thought there was another oriole behind them and started looking around. As for Lu Ping, when he heard the masked man's shout, he thought someone else was coming. However, when he looked around and did not see anyone, he realized that the masked man had misunderstood something. No matter how honest he was, he would not explain himself. He just continued to observe the masked man's reaction and planned his next step.
The masked man no longer cared about Lu Ping and Zi Mu. After some thought, he gave up on the idea of continuing to fight. Even if it was not Li Yaotian, the person who could neutralize his Knell of Death without batting an eyelid was definitely not someone he could deal with.
Go!
The masked man immediately made up his mind. Without even looking at Lu Ping and Zi Mu, he turned and left. His movement technique was like lightning, and he disappeared in an instant.
Lu Ping and Zi Mu were dumbfounded.
Both of them had experienced the masked man's schemes and viciousness. They did not expect him to leave so quickly.
How powerful was the person who came? Zi Mu was already worried. He could only hope that the oriole behind them was a friend and not an enemy. As for Lu Ping, he had already guessed the truth. However, when he saw the masked man run away so quickly, he was a little frightened. For a moment, he also thought that an expert had come. He could not help but look around again.
However, after waiting for a while, there was no third party.
"What's going on?" Zi Mu asked blankly.
"Uh … I think he ran away." Lu Ping thought about it. It seemed that his initial guess was correct. There was no oriole at all. The masked man was the one who had misunderstood. However, he was so scared that he ran away just like that? This behavior was a little unworthy of the viciousness he had shown before.
"Are you okay?" Zi Mu noticed the injuries on Lu Ping's body and quickly asked.
"I'm fine." Lu Ping shook his head. The injuries on his body were from the sneak attack and interrogation. The fact that he could last until now meant that he did not have to worry about them anymore.
"What happened?" Zi Mu asked again.
"He ambushed me earlier and thought I was dead." Lu Ping did not have the qualities of a storyteller like Zi Mu. In just a few sentences, he had summarized what had happened.
"This person …" Because Lu Ping's words were unclear, Zi Mu started to doubt his intelligence. How muddle-headed would he be if he couldn't even understand life and death?
"It's a little strange. This person seems to be more interested in our intentions, "Lu Ping said.
If he simply wanted to stop the two of them, he would just have to kill them. But this person was trying his best to understand their purpose in coming to Cloud Clamping Valley. His intentions were somewhat unclear.
"Is he trying to figure out Academician Chen's plan?" Zi Mu asked.
"Then he has achieved his goal, right?" Lu Ping looked at the Zhixin under the tree.
"So he left?" Zi Mu deduced.
"Maybe … they haven't left yet?" Lu Ping's brain was quite sharp. From the actions of the person who was secretly monitoring Zi Mu. He guessed that the person might have pretended to leave in order to numb the two of them and further monitor their purpose.
"His attack just now was a bit impulsive. If our purpose wasn't the only one, then wouldn't he have exposed himself too early? He realized this, so he pretended to leave. He continued to monitor us. "Lu Ping said.
"Then if you say that, since he's still monitoring us, doesn't that mean he knows the truth?" Zi Mu said.
"Then he should come out again." Lu Ping looked around.
"Seems like he hasn't." Zi Mu said.
"Looks like he really left." Lu Ping said.
"What if he's very patient? Just like you said, he already rushed out once. "Zi Mu said.
"Then let's not care about him. Pick the grass and leave." Lu Ping said.
"If he's still here, I'm afraid he'll really jump out." Zi Mu mumbled to himself as he returned to the front of the zhixin. After looking around, he carefully picked up the small tree-like herb along with its roots.
"No one is coming." Zi Mu picked up the Zhixin. After waiting for two seconds and seeing that no one was attacking, he finally stood up.
The Zhixin was already picked but there was no excitement on Zi Mu's face. Normally, the two of them should have brought the Zhixin to Chen Jiu. But the two of them had already been exposed. Who knew if they would encounter another ambush? Zi Mu took out the map he had drawn and after carefully studying it, he regretfully shook his head at Lu Ping: "There's no other way."
"That's easy." As Lu Ping spoke, he walked out of the valley along the same path.
"I knew it." Zi Mu said helplessly. In the current situation, even if it was a mountain of knives or a sea of flames, they could only go forward. As for whether or not the two of them could resolve it. Then they would wait until they encountered it!
With this thought, his heart felt at ease. The two of them walked out of the Cloud Valley indifferently. In the end, they did not encounter any obstacles along the way and left the valley peacefully. If they walked any further, it would not be that desolate valley anymore. In the distance and near, the people of North Style Academy could be seen everywhere. While the two of them felt more at ease, they also felt more and more at a loss as to the intentions of the ambushers.
"After clearly seeing our intentions, he deduced the actions that Academician Chen might take. And then make preparations? "Zi Mu continued to speculate.
"If that's the case, his actions cannot alarm any one of us, not even silencing him." Lu Ping said.
"That's true." Zi Mu nodded.
The two of them were still unable to analyze anything, but they had already arrived at Megrez Peak. Thinking that he would soon be able to hand the Zhixin to Chen Jiu and complete his important mission, Zi Mu's mood immediately became excited.
The medicinal kitchen in the middle of the mountain was still under strict control even after a few days. Lu Ping and Zi Mu did not have any information channels, but when they ate in the Northern Mountain New Courtyard's dining hall, they could occasionally hear some people paying attention to and discussing this matter. Currently, it seemed that they had not made any breakthroughs.
Perhaps there will be soon.
Zi Mu thought inwardly.
The Zhixin had already been handed over to Chen Jiu. Also present were Alioth Star's Li Yaotian and Mizar Peak's head disciple Bai Li. But looking at the Zhixin in Chen Jiu's hands, the two of them also had a puzzled expression.
"You've worked hard. Did you encounter any trouble? "Chen Jiu asked.
"Yes." When Lu Ping mentioned that they were targeted by the masked man, and that he wanted to know their intentions, Li Yaotian and Bai Li's expressions changed when they heard.
"That person's height, body shape, what are his eyes like, his voice, and did he make any small movements?" Bai Li started to ask after listening.
"Don't be anxious." Chen Jiu had a very calm appearance. In fact, during the process of Lu Ping's narration, he always had this unhurried appearance, and even revealed a faint smile.
He opened his palm, and the Zhixin Grass given to him by Zi Mu was in his palm. At this moment, there was suddenly a flow of Soul Power, and the Zhixin Grass suddenly turned into powder. Then, an image actually rose from Chen Jiu's palm.
At first, it was a quiet valley, and then Zi Mu appeared in the image. Then, the masked man kicked Zi Mu away, and the masked man approached Zi Mu. Lu Ping walked behind the masked man, intending to launch a sneak attack. The masked man sensed it, and made a move. He was surprised, and hurriedly left. Lu Ping and Zi Mu took the Zhixin, left the valley, and arrived at Megrez Peak …
The image was intermittent, and not very coherent, but it was already convincing enough. This, was what happened within a four meter radius of the Zhixin Grass.
"Who is this person?" Chen Jiu looked at Li Yaotian, and Bai Li also looked at Li Yaotian.
