She had asked her acquaintances in the Glacier Plain Court, and the news that she had received was that nothing had happened at all. For the young court chief of the Glacier Plain Court to send out a distress signal, there was not a single person who was aware of it …
Or, lie!
Either it happened within the sect and someone deliberately covered it up so that the news didn't leak out.
Otherwise, if the Young Palace Master was in danger, why didn't he inform the Palace Master or the experts in the palace directly? Instead, he spent so much effort to send a message to his Master, whose cultivation was not high?
It was obvious that there was no one else she could trust in the palace. She could only trust this teacher who had brought her all the way!
Chen Leyao's body trembled uncontrollably, and she felt as if her scalp was going to explode.
Back then, she had only known that something had happened to the young court chief, so she had been a little anxious. She had never thought that Zhang Shi would allow her to act rashly. Only then did she realize what was going on.
"You are a member of the Glacier Plain Court, so you have to abide by the rules of the Glacier Plain Court. If you find yourself in a difficult position, I can deal with this matter myself. However, I hope that you won't leak the news that I am here!"
Zhang Xuan turned around and clasped his fist.
If there was really a problem with the Glacier Plain Court, given that the other party was an offspring of the Glacier Plain Court, it would be better for him to feign ignorance.
"This …" Chen Leyao was rendered speechless.
If the Glacier Plain Court had really made a move against the young court chief, there was only one person who had the ability to do so … the First Elder!
Ever since the disappearance of the previous court chief, the First Elder had become the one in charge of the affairs of the Glacier Plain Court. Every single matter, be it big or small, would be decided by her. It was for this reason that even though she was not the court chief yet, she was already on par with the court chief.
If his previous guess was correct, then something must have happened in the palace, and the Great Elder must have personally taken action!
For her to make a move … As a disciple, could she really disobey her orders?
"Farewell …"
Knowing that Zhang Xuan was placed in a difficult position, Zhang Xuan turned around and began walking forward. However, barely after he took a few steps, Chen Leyao suddenly caught up to him and blocked his path. With a determined look on her face, she said, "Wait for me! The young court chief is a kind person, and I am indebted to Zhang Shi. No matter what happens, I must save him! Even if … it violates the rules and orders of the palace! "
"Think about it carefully. This is no small matter. Once you do it, there's a high chance that you won't be able to turn back …"
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Exhaling deeply, Chen Leyao replied, "I understand."
The young court chief was a good person, and Zhang Shi had even created a cultivation technique that could resolve the crisis plaguing the Glacier Plain Court. Of course, more importantly, the young court chief was willing to stand against the entire Sanctum of Sages for the sake of his student. This was a friendship that anyone would be moved by, and they would be willing to help him.
"That's good. I thank you on behalf of Zhao Ya!"
Seeing the other party's sincerity, Zhang Xuan nodded before asking, "Is there anyone in the Glacier Plain Court whom you are on good terms with and hold high standing? Let's find such a person first and interrogate him carefully. Maybe we can find some clues! "
The most important thing now was to know Zhao Ya's real situation so that they could prepare for the next step.
Asking around was the only way.
"Those who are on good terms with me are all disciples, so I don't think they know much. However … I do know an elder who is on good terms with me, and she takes good care of me. If I ask her, she might be able to tell me something!"
Chen Leyao pondered for a moment before replying.
"Elder? What's her cultivation realm? "
Zhang Xuan asked.
"Saint 8-dan advanced stage isn't too high among the elders, but she's in charge of the meals of the disciples in the Glacier Plain Court. If the young court chief isn't in the Glacier Plain Court or if something happens to her, she should be able to find out."
Chen Leyao said.
"She's in charge of the meals? Alright, bring me to her then! "
Zhang Xuan nodded.
The elder in charge of the meals might not have a high position, but she should be the most well-informed person in the Glacier Plain Court.
If something were to happen to Zhao Ya, she would surely know about it.
"It's already late at night, so she should be resting in her residence. However, her residence is in the Glacier Plain Court, so it won't be convenient for us to enter at this hour …"
Chen Leyao frowned.
It was not too difficult to find the elder, but the main problem was that she lived in the Glacier Plain Court. Given that the palace gates were tightly shut at night, how were they supposed to enter?
"Can you arrange a meeting with her?"
Zhang Xuan.
Shaking her head, Chen Leyao replied, "It won't be easy. Even as an elder, she wouldn't leave the Glacier Plain Court so easily. However, she would head to the market every morning to buy fruits and vegetables!"
"Morning?"
Zhang Xuan frowned. "There's still six hours before dawn. If we delay any longer, things might go awry. Is there any other way?"
There was still some time before midnight, so they could not afford to waste any more time.
"This …" Chen Leyao shook her head.
She had always been an obedient girl in the sect, and she had never asked anyone out before. Thus, she was unable to come up with any good ideas.
"Does the elder buy the fruits and vegetables at a specific place, or does she have a specific supplier?"
Zhang Xuan asked.
"The Glacier Plain Court is one of the top powers on the Master Teacher Continent, so it goes without saying that the fruits and vegetables that the disciples of the Glacier Plain Court consume are specially cultivated by specialists. They are highly concentrated in spiritual energy and have a minimal amount of impurities … The supplier is the largest clan in the City of Glacier, the Han Clan!"
Chen Leyao said.
The more powerful a sect was, the more strict the food they consumed would be. It was impossible for them to buy the fruits and vegetables from the market as they pleased.
Otherwise, if they were to poison the fruits and vegetables, wouldn't the entire sect be destroyed?
"The Han Clan? It's good that we have such a supplier. Do you know where they live? "
Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.
"I have followed an elder there once, so I know where they are!"
Understanding the other party's intentions, Chen Leyao hurriedly nodded.
It would be difficult for her to invite the elder out, but it shouldn't be too difficult for her to find a reason to invite the supplier out.
"Lead the way!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Chen Leyao didn't turn down Zhang Xuan's offer, and she quickly led the way. Roughly ten minutes later, a residence came into sight.
"Zhang Shi, this is the Han Clan!" Chen Leyao introduced.
"Un."
Taking a look at the towering residence before him, Zhang Xuan nodded.
To be able to supply the fruits and vegetables of a top-notch power on the Master Teacher Continent, this clan was bound to be a formidable force.
"Send in your name scroll!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
It was unrealistic for him to barge into such a clan, and if he caused a huge commotion, it would only bring him more trouble. If he wanted to meet the person in charge, he would have to send in his name scroll.
"Name scroll? Write my name? "
Chen Leyao was taken aback.
Even though she was a talented disciple of the Glacier Plain Court, the other party was an elder of the Glacier Plain Court. It would be difficult for her to meet the master of the Glacier Plain Court.
"Write my name instead!"
Zhang Xuan.
"You?"
Chen Leyao's face twitched. "I'm afraid that your name won't do either …"
While Zhang Shi was the teacher of their young court chief, his name was only known to a small circle, so he wasn't too well-known. More importantly, he had just gotten into a conflict with the Sanctum of Sages, so wouldn't it be too risky for him to use this name now?
Before Chen Leyao could finish her words, Zhang Shi suddenly turned around. Unknowingly, he had altered his appearance to resemble a yellow-skinned middle-aged man. With his hands behind his back, he said nonchalantly, "From now on, my name is …"
"Yang Xuan!"
