Thief!
Zhuo Qing's heart jumped. The most shocking name on the continent, this was one of the six.
"Are the rumors true?" Zhuo Qing blurted out.
The matter of Lu Ping and the others being wanted by the entire country caused a huge commotion in the Xuan Army Empire. Along with this matter, other rumors spread.
One of them was about Thief. He had appeared twice in this matter.
The first time was at Zhiling City. He appeared for an instant and strangely stole a corpse.
The second time was at Canyon Peak City, Zhenfeng College. This time, the Thief was clearly on Lu Ping's side.
Thief was too mysterious and no one could be sure of his identity. Especially the Thief who appeared the second time. Whether it was true or false, there were two different opinions.
The first was that he wasn't Thief. Because if he was, he was too weak. Why would he need to hide? Why would he need to use hostages?
The second was that he was Thief. Because the second young master of the Qin family, the famous head of the Xuan Army Empire's Qin Qi, was thrown out in one move. Other than the six who had connected their five spirits, who else had such ability?
Both opinions seemed to make sense. The debate on whether it was true or false naturally didn't stop. But at this time, Liu Wu said that there was a Thief behind Lu Ping. Then naturally he accepted the second opinion and believed that the person who saved Lu Ping and the others was Thief.
"This is the judgment of the head of the Imperial Council. Not many people know about it." Liu Wu said.
"Hehe, because he was thrown out in one move?" Zhuo Qing said with a hidden meaning. With such a terrible battle record, only if the opponent was one of the six experts would his reputation be preserved. Zhuo Qing felt that Qin Qi's judgment would have such a selfish motive.
When Liu Wu heard this, he was silent for a moment and then slowly spoke.
"I know that in your generation, Qin Qi is the most eye-catching."
Disdain flashed across Zhuo Qing's face. But he couldn't refute this.
"So no matter if it is you or the other children. When you grow up, you will compare yourself to him and treat him as your role model. If it was me, I wouldn't be happy either. "Liu Wu said.
Zhuo Qing forcefully squeezed out a smile, wanting to act nonchalant. However, Fifth Liu's tone had already become stern. "But now, you are no longer a child. You can no longer use such a childish way to imagine others to be as unbearable as you wish."
"What we are doing is not a game. I hope you can correct your attitude. "After Liu Wu finished speaking, he didn't even look at Zhuo Qing.
"I …" Zhuo Qing wanted to explain but discovered that he could not find any reason or excuse. Because what Zhuo Qing said wasn't wrong at all. It was just his own wishful thinking that the perfect role model in his growth was actually a bit unbearable.
But in reality?
In fact, apart from his own malicious conjecture, Qin Qi had nothing to criticize.
Zhuo Qing's face was red. After saying "I", she didn't say anything else. Liu Wu didn't look at him, and he didn't dare to look at Liu Wu either. Just like that, he lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he raised it again. Then he saw Fifth Liu was staring at him.
"I understand." Zhuo Qing nodded. After saying the word "I", he did not make any further excuses.
Fifth Liu smiled and nodded. This face and smile was unfamiliar to Zhuo Qing, but the comfort he felt was very familiar. At this moment, he could finally confirm that the person in front of him was Fifth Zhuo. He had played with him, taught him how to cultivate, but in the end, left without saying goodbye.
"I will work hard." He said again.
"I hope you are stronger than Qin Qi." Fifth Liu said.
"En." Zhuo Qing nodded forcefully.
"The first step is to handle the matter before us beautifully," Liu Wu said.
"So our main goal is to do this well. Not to kill Lu Ping, but the Bandit behind him? "Zhuo Qing said.
"More accurately, the Bandit's secret." Fifth Liu said.
"What secret does the Bandit have?" Zhuo Qing's heart started to speed up. To be able to hear the secret of one of the six great experts of the world. This in itself was a very exciting matter.
"The Bandit is one of the six great experts, but his realm is four spirits connected." Fifth Liu said slowly.
"How is that possible?" Zhuo Qing was shocked. The reason the six great experts were the six great experts was because their realms were unparalleled in the world. The gap between five spirits connected and four spirits connected made them seem to be in a different dimension.
However. The Bandit was only four spirits connected?
Four spirits connected. Even if he cultivated it to the peak, the difference between him and a xiuzhe with four spirits connected was definitely not the same as four spirits connected and five spirits connected. Such a large difference. The Bandit had dominated the continent for decades, but no one had detected this?
"This inconceivable problem, right now, needs to be solved by Lu Ping." Fifth Liu said.
"Why Lu Ping?" Zhuo Qing said.
"Because that day, the Bandit and Lu Ping were cut off the peak by Qin Qi. Lu Ping did not die, and the Bandit's corpse was not found. No matter if the Bandit is dead or alive, he has the chance to explain some things to Lu Ping. "Fifth Liu said.
"Like the Bandit's secret." Zhuo Qing said.
"Yes." Fifth Liu nodded.
"I understand." Zhuo Qing also nodded. Why did Fifth Liu say this was related to the future of the Black Army Empire? If the Xuan Army Empire got hold of this secret, the cultivators of the Xuan Army Empire who had opened all four spirits would be as strong as those who had opened all five spirits. It would be a piece of cake for them to swallow Qing Feng and Chang Feng Countries. Even the Four Great Schools would no longer be a pure land outside of the empire's rule and would be unified.
This really was a great secret related to the fate of the country. Thinking that he had the chance to be the catalyst for this matter, Zhuo Qing accidentally became excited again.
"Lu Ping has already reached Eastern Mountain Residence." Fifth Liu suddenly added.
"He mysteriously doesn't have his soul power anymore. He is easy to deal with." Zhuo Qing said.
"If it was three days ago, you would definitely suffer if you had this mentality." Fifth Liu said.
"Why?" Zhuo Qing didn't understand.
"Because three days ago, Mizar Peak was closely watching him. There were always Secret Emissaries closely watching him. "Fifth Liu said.
"Then what about now?" Zhuo Qing asked.
"Since it was three days ago, naturally they have stopped watching him. But we cannot lower our guard. We need to observe for a while longer before we act." Fifth Liu said as he led Zhuo Qing. He did not just appear and wait, but hid to the side.
"We have already set up a barrier within a hundred meter radius. If there are any extra people that enter, I will detect it. "Fifth Liu said.
"So we still need to confirm if he is still being watched?" Zhuo Qing asked.
"Yes."
"Along the way, did we also have people paying attention to him?" Zhuo Qing asked again.
"Yes."
"With this kind of setup, if there was someone watching, we would definitely be able to detect him." Zhuo Qing sighed.
"Unless the people watching have abilities that surpass our control. But there are definitely less than ten people like that in North Style Academy." Fifth Liu said.
"They are all people on the level of the seven academicians. Of course they would not do such a small thing." Zhuo Qing said.
"If people of this level interfered, then we can only admit defeat." Fifth Liu's tone became a lot more relaxed at this time. Because he had just received news that the people left at the foot of the mountain had already checked behind Lu Ping, but they did not discover anything.
"Absolutely safe." Zhuo Qing who was at the side, spoke his mind.
