The group of people walked around for a long time, and night fell unknowingly. Mi San, who was leading the way, finally slowed down and looked around vigilantly. There were low and shabby houses all around. This was a place where poor families gathered in Gorge Peak City. He spread his perception around, but in the end, he still looked back at Lu Ping and Chu Min with uncertainty.
"Is there anyone following us?" she asked.
"No. But... "Lu Ping said, raising his hand and pointing to the distance." Someone is looking over there. "
"Ah?" Mi San looked in the direction where Lu Ping was pointing, but there was only darkness. She couldn't see anything at all.
"Uh, he's hiding," Lu Ping said immediately. After he pointed, the sound of Chong Zhisuo in his ears immediately stopped. It was obvious that the other party had retracted the "telescopic" ability that he was using. At such a distance, if the other party didn't use his ability to detect them with his soul power, Lu Ping wouldn't have been able to find him.
"We can't stay here for a long time." Mi San said, quickened her pace, and soon led the three people into a courtyard with a half-collapsed wall.
The courtyard was dark, and there were no lights in the houses on the three sides. But as soon as the group of people stepped into the courtyard, Lu Ping immediately heard the sound of the soul power coming from three directions.
"Who are you!" They were surrounded in an instant.
"It's me," Mi San said hurriedly.
"Mi San?" The people around heard Mi San's voice, but they didn't let down their vigilance.
"Who are these people?" They looked at Lu Ping and the other two people behind Mi San.
"This is Lu Ping." Mi San introduced Lu Ping to everyone.
"Oh?" The group of people looked at Lu Ping. Although Lu Ping had only met Nightingale and the other two people, Nightingale's people were not unfamiliar with his name.
"You are Lu Ping." A person walked up from the side. Lu Ping turned his head to look. It was a tall young man with a bandage wrapped around his forehead that was stained with blood. He looked Lu Ping up and down, the hostility in his eyes still lingering. After a few more glances, he glanced at Chu Min and Ling Ziyan.
"What about these two?" he asked.
"Chu Min, Ling Ziyan." Mi San reported the names of the two, but did not introduce them.
"Chu Min from Amaterasu College." The young man added. After speaking, Chu Min looked at Ling Ziyan and said, "The maid of the eldest daughter of the Qin family? I heard you were dead. So it was fake. "
"Ah …" Ling Ziyan was still a little timid in front of strangers. Once she became the center of attention, she immediately lowered her head.
The young man's eyes then fell on Mi San's hand, and he suddenly looked happy.
"Is this … Wei Ran?" He recognized the man in Mi San's hand. He was one of the 12 family guards of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Yes." Mi San nodded.
"Good, well done. Take him away and interrogate him immediately. " The young man was very excited. He pointed at two people and took Wei Ran from Mi San's hand. Then he was about to leave with Mi San, ignoring Lu Ping and the other two people.
"Wait." Mi San hurried forward. The young man stopped and looked back at her.
"We can't stay here any longer," Mi San said.
"Why?"
"This place has been monitored," Mi San said.
Everyone was shocked.
"When?" The young man asked hurriedly.
"Maybe since the first day we came here," Mi San said.
"What do you mean?" The young man frowned and asked.
"Our perception may have been insufficient," Mi San said.
"What about now?" The young man said and looked at Lu Ping and the other two people.
Mi San didn't say anything. She understood everything without saying anything. Their perception was not enough. Today, Lu Ping and the other two people came, so they immediately discovered that they were being monitored.
"Are you sure?" The young man suddenly asked.
Mi San was stunned. Since she couldn't perceive it, how could she be sure? Therefore, it was not a question of whether she was sure, but whether she believed it or not.
"I didn't notice Wei Ran following us. It's all thanks to Lu Ping." Mi San told him what had happened.
The young man's expression suddenly became complicated. He looked at Wei Ran, and then at Lu Ping and the other two people with a face full of suspicion.
Lu Ping looked calm when he was looked at again. Chu Min didn't care. She took out the wine pot and took a sip. Ling Ziyan was a little scared, but she didn't have any idea. She just hid behind Lu Ping and Chu Min.
The young man seemed to feel that the atmosphere was a little awkward. He took the lead and squeezed out a smile.
"Please don't blame us. We have to be more careful since we have come to this point, "he said.
"Okay," Lu Ping replied. He didn't bother to explain anything. Chu Min showed an impatient look on her face. She didn't pay much attention to what the young man said.
The atmosphere continued to be awkward when she didn't get a positive response.
"Let's move quickly," Mi San said.
"Move?" The young man stared at Lu Ping and the other two people. "Because our perception is not enough, we will have to trouble the three of you to confirm where we will move to next."
He emphasized the word "not enough", and the meaning of his words couldn't be more obvious. When the other Nightingale people heard this, they looked at the three people with wary eyes again. Many of them secretly touched their weapons.
"Hua Yue!" Mi San was a little angry. She could understand that they were being careful, but wasn't it too much to suspect them to this extent? Although she had only met Lu Ping and Chu Min a year ago, it was impossible for them to collude with Xiabong Castellan. Hua Yue was so suspicious of their motives that he was being paranoid.
"I have always been suspicious about something." Hua Yue didn't look at Mi San. He just stared at the three people, and his tone became more and more unyielding.
"That Su Tang is with you, right?" Hua Yue said.
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded.
"We saved her at the foot of Gorge Mountain, and then she joined us. For this, she gave up the opportunity to join the four academies," Hua Yue said.
"That's because Zhong Qian helped them before! She gave Zhong Qian the recommendation letter to thank him. She wanted to see if the Que Yue Academy could help Zhong Qian recover, "Mi San said.
"But in fact, the Que Yue Academy didn't accept Zhong Qian, did they?" Hua Yue said.
"How could it be so easy for Zhong Qian to pass the assessment of the Que Yue Academy? The four academies are not charities. They won't accept people just to save people, "Mi San said.
"Haha." Hua Yue laughed, but he didn't continue to dwell on this issue. He continued, "After that, we broke into Gorge Mountain City to help her save someone. After that, our whereabouts, which have always been secretive, seemed to be under surveillance. More and more of our brothers began to expose themselves. I think everyone noticed it, right?"
"Such a big thing happened in the Gorge Mountain District, and the upper echelons of the Xuan Army Empire began to step in. Later on, Wei Tianqi joined the South Sky Academy, and they became stronger than before. It's not like you don't know this, "Mi San said.
"Okay, so what happened in the end?" Hua Yue's face flashed with resentment. "When we were completely wiped out and hunted down, they didn't show any mercy. But Su Tang, a wanted criminal of the Xuan Army Empire, and one of the main culprits of the incident in the Gorge Mountain District, managed to escape from danger again and again. In the end, she became one of the few people who were captured alive. "
"Su Tang's strength has always been stronger. What's so strange about her staying alive?"
"Haha." Hua Yue laughed again. He turned to look at someone in the crowd. "Xiao Wu, tell everyone what you saw that time."
Xiao Wu?
Lu Ping and the others didn't know him, but Nightingale's people obviously knew who he was. Hearing Hua Yue suddenly call out a name, everyone turned to look at one person in the crowd. Mi San obviously didn't know what this person had seen, and his face was filled with surprise.
The man called Xiao Wu stepped forward. He looked at Lu Ping and his two companions with the same doubtful expression as Hua Yue's. It could even be said that he was even more doubtful than Hua Yue.
"It was the Jade Dragon Forest incident," he said.
"We lost at least half of our brothers that time," Hua Yue said.
"Yes." Xiao Wu nodded. "It was the battle where we lost the most, and we suffered the most casualties."
"In that battle, there were experts from the South Sky Academy and helpers sent by the Academy Supervisor," Hua Yue said.
"Yes, we couldn't defeat them, so we could only scatter and run for our lives. The small group of us happened to be with Su Tang. At that time, she and a few of our brothers wanted us to leave first, and they brought up the rear. We were all very touched, "Xiao Wu said.
"And then?"
"But the other party came too quickly. Before we could split up according to the deployment, we were separated by the other party. Many of our brothers fell on the spot, and Su Tang and the others could only fight on their own. They bought us some time, "Xiao Wu said.
"Xiao Lin, Yun Ji, the two of you also survived this wave. Do you still remember the scene at that time?" Xiao Wu suddenly pointed out two more people when he said that.
"I remember."
"It was like this."
Two of them answered one after another.
The others remained quiet. Everyone here had experienced the Jade Dragon Forest incident, and they were all survivors. Although the others were not in the same team as Xiao Wu and the others, their experience was roughly the same.
"At that time, I felt that I couldn't escape, so I rushed out to fight them. But I was too weak, and I was quickly knocked down. The other party struck me, and didn't pay much attention to a small fry like me. I didn't die, but I couldn't get up or move. I could only watch as my brothers were killed one by one. Su Tang lasted until the end. She was very strong, but she couldn't defeat those people. I felt that she was about to die, but when she was knocked down, the other party didn't strike again, and Su Tang took the opportunity to escape.
"But at that time, I was still in despair. Xiao Lin, Yun Ji, you should remember that there were two experts from the Academy Supervisor in the team that chased after us that day. One of them was Killer Hunter, and the other was Slayer. They were very powerful long-distance pursuers. Su Tang was already heavily injured. If either one of them had used their abilities, I don't think Su Tang would have been able to escape.
"But in the end, the two of them didn't make a move. They only chased after her. I even saw a few of them whispering to each other, but I couldn't hear what they were saying.
"After that, I was lying among the corpses. It was Xiao Lin and Yun Ji who discovered that I was still alive and brought me back. As for Su Tang, as you all can see, she didn't die in that battle, and she didn't die after that, until she was captured alive. I don't know what she went through each time, but at least in the Jade Dragon Forest incident, I'm a hundred percent sure that she survived because the other party showed mercy to her at least twice. "
Xiao Wu finished. He didn't come to a conclusion, but everyone understood what he was trying to say.
"Xiao Wu told me about it later." Hua Yue said, "I didn't say anything, and I told him not to say anything. Because I was willing to believe in Su Tang. I was willing to believe that the other party showed mercy to her for some other reason. But I had to be more careful, and it was also my responsibility for my brothers. "
After saying that, he looked at Mi San, then at Lu Ping and the others.
It was Mi San's first time hearing about this, and she was a little shocked. She didn't want to believe it, but in the end, she realized that the only thing she could say was probably what Hua Yue did. She reserved her opinion, but she was more careful.
She didn't know what to say. Lu Ping, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
"You don't have to worry too much," he said. He could tell what Hua Yue was trying to say.
"If I wanted to deal with you guys, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. I wouldn't have to bring you guys to an ambush," Lu Ping said.
"I can do it now," Lu Ping said.
"Hahaha." Chu Min laughed.
"Keep a low profile," she said to Lu Ping.
