They naturally felt that Kong Li had discovered something wrong with Lin Long's identity.
"We have to be careful of Kong Li later," Zhou Han said.
"En." Kong Yang nodded.
After a while, the banquet began. The Kong Family's Patriarch stood up with a wine glass in his hand and smiled at everyone. "Everyone has worked hard these two days …"
His two sons had performed very well these two days, and he was naturally happy.
"Patriarch, Second Young Master and Third Young Master are so outstanding. Our Kong Family's future is bright!"
The surrounding guests all laughed in the same way.
Then, the Second Young Master Kong Li suddenly said, "Father, this time, Kong Li 'er's performance is far worse than Third Brother's."
"Hey, Second Young Master, don't say such words. This time, your performance was very good, but it was only because of Third Young Master's extraordinary performance," someone immediately said.
"That's right." Many people also echoed.
They were speaking from the bottom of their hearts.
"Everyone, don't say that. I, Kong Li, know my limits." At this point, Kong Li looked at the Kong Family's Patriarch. "Father, I asked Third Brother before, and he told me why he suddenly became so powerful this time."
"Oh, how did Yang 'er suddenly become so powerful?" The Kong Family's Patriarch couldn't help but ask.
Everyone naturally pricked up their ears.
Only Kong Yang had a puzzled look on his face. Kong Li had never asked him such a question.
What the hell was Second Brother doing? He couldn't help but furrow his brows.
But at this time, he naturally couldn't expose Kong Li.
"Because Third Brother recently changed his teacher, and it was that teacher who made his strength improve by leaps and bounds. Otherwise, he would definitely lose to me in this competition!" Kong Li said.
"Changed a teacher? Oh, who is it?" The Kong Family's Patriarch couldn't help but ask.
Many people immediately focused their attention on the person wearing the bamboo hat beside Kong Yang.
During this period of time, they had heard a lot about the person wearing the bamboo hat.
"Naturally, it's the teacher wearing the bamboo hat." Kong Li pointed at the person wearing the bamboo hat. At this moment, a sly look flashed across his face.
"Oh, this teacher, how should I address you?" The Kong Family's Patriarch immediately looked at the person wearing the bamboo hat.
"Patriarch, my surname is Luo, and others call me Alchemist Luo," the person wearing the bamboo hat immediately said.
"So it's Apothecary Luo." The Kong Family Head nodded and said, "Why is Alchemist Luo still wearing a large bamboo hat at this time?"
"Because there's a new scar on my face, I feel that it's unsightly, so I'm wearing this big bamboo hat to cover it up," the man wearing the bamboo hat said.
"I see." The Kong Family Head nodded.
At this moment, someone suddenly said coldly, "Alchemist Luo, although you are strong and have allowed Third Young Master to become so strong in the field of alchemy, you can't still wear a bamboo hat in front of the family head. This is disrespectful to the family head! Even if you have scars on your face. "
"That's right." Several people immediately agreed.
They had long been against it, but they didn't dare to question it because it was Kong Yang's man. Now that someone stood up, they naturally supported him.
Seeing this, the corners of Kong Li's mouth couldn't help curling up.
In fact, this person had been arranged by him. The reason he had said those words just now was to draw everyone's attention to the person wearing the bamboo hat. Now that such a person had stepped forward, it would be hard for the other party not to take off the bamboo hat.
Kong Yang's expression was somewhat ugly, and he didn't know what to say. If he objected at this time, it wouldn't be right.
Just as he was stuck between a rock and a hard place, the man wearing the bamboo hat suddenly said, "My dear friend is right. My current appearance is indeed a little disrespectful to the patriarch. Since that is the case, I will also reveal my ugly side …"
Hearing his words, Kong Yang and the others couldn't help but change their expressions.
In the next moment, the person wearing the bamboo hat took off the bamboo hat, revealing an ordinary face with a new scar on it.
This person was none other than the real Luo Lie.
Huh? Why is it Luo Lie? Kong Yang and the others were stunned. They had always thought that the person who followed them out was Lin Long. Who would have thought that it was Luo Lie?
When they saw Luo Lie, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
At this time, someone beside Kong Yang walked up to Kong Yang and whispered in his ear, "Second Young Master, this person is indeed Luo Lie."
"It's Luo Lie?" Kong Li was stunned. If it was Luo Lie, then it was not the alchemist who refined the Spirit Calming Pill.
Could it be that he and his master had guessed wrongly? With this thought, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lu Liang.
Lu Liang also looked at him with a surprised expression.
"So Alchemist Luo really has a scar on your face …" The Kong family head said with a smile. Then, he changed the topic, "However, this scar is nothing. Instead, it increases your manliness!"
"Yes, Alchemist Luo, the family head is right. It really increases your manliness!" Many people echoed.
"I've embarrassed myself in front of everyone," Luo Lie said with a smile.
Then, the banquet continued.
During the banquet, a black-clothed man seriously looked at Luo Lie, then directly left the banquet and walked out of the Kong Residence. Soon, he arrived at an inn.
In this inn, he saw two men. One was a young man in his thirties, and the other was a middle-aged man in his forties.
Seeing the black-clothed man, the young man in his thirties immediately asked, "How is it?"
"I saw Young Master Zhou Han and the others at the banquet. I also saw the appearance of the person wearing the bamboo hat. He seems to be called Luo Lie," the black-clothed man said.
"You're called Luo Lie?" The two of them nodded.
Then, the young man in his thirties looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle Ling, later, you will go out and capture that person!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely capture that person!" The middle-aged man called Uncle Ling nodded.
At this time, the black-clothed man took out a map and pointed at a place on the map. "This is the courtyard of the Kong Residence's Third Young Master. The place I marked is where Luo Lie lives."
Obviously, this person not only went to the banquet, but he also obtained such detailed information.
Uncle Ling immediately took the map and memorized the contents in his head.
Then, he directly snuck into the Kong Residence and came to the house marked on the map.
At this time, Luo Lie and the others had naturally not returned. After carefully looking around, he hid in a corner of the house.
After a full hour, Luo Lie and the others finally returned.
Luo Lie drank a lot of wine, so his head was a little dizzy. However, the moment he entered the room, he immediately woke up because there was clearly a person standing in front of him.
He did not think that the person in front of him was Lin Long, because Lin Long would not suddenly come to see him.
At this moment, he felt that the person in front of him was very powerful. He immediately took out his Ice Talisman.
He could activate a Grade 2 Ice Talisman.
At this time, the other party also took out his Ice Talisman. Looking at the Ice Talisman that the other party took out, Luo Lie's face became extremely ugly. This was because the Ice Talisman that the other party took out was obviously a Grade 4 Ice Talisman.
He was actually an expert who could activate a Grade 4 Ice Talisman! Luo Lie exclaimed in his heart.
While he was still in shock, the other party's Ice Talisman had already started burning. In the next moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his entire body was completely immobilized.
Then, the other party rushed over, used a special rope to tie him up, and directly carried him out.
Although the process was very short, Kong Yang and the others still felt that something was wrong. However, when they rushed over, they did not see Luo Lie. Only the cold aura in the room told them that someone had been here.
"Eighth Uncle, did you see anything?" Zhou Han looked at Zhou Ba and asked.
Zhou Ba was the first person to rush over.
"From the cold aura, it should be a Grade 4 Ice Talisman that was activated!" Zhou Ba frowned.
"Why would such an expert come to capture Luo Lie?" Kong Yang asked doubtfully.
"Could it be that Kong Li sent someone? They think that Luo Lie should be the one who refined the Tranquil Spirit Pill?" Zhou Han said.
Kong Yang shook his head, "It shouldn't be. After all, many alchemists in Nanjiang City know Luo Lie's strength."
"That might not be the case. Perhaps they think that Luo Lie was hiding his strength," Zhou Ba said.
"Eighth Uncle's words are also right." Kong Yang nodded.
"Where is the Young Master?" At this time, Zhou Han asked.
"I don't know." The few of them shook their heads. They thought that the person who attended the banquet with them was Linlong. They did not know where Linlong had gone.
At this time, footsteps came from outside. Then, a person wearing a bamboo hat walked in.
"What happened?" The person asked.
Hearing the person's voice, Kong Yang and the others immediately recognized that this person was Linlong.
"Young Master, an expert who can activate Grade 4 Ice Talisman sneaked into our courtyard and captured Luo Lie!" Zhou Han said immediately.
"Is that so?" Linlong could not help but be surprised.
He was not in the courtyard before this, so he did not know that such a thing had happened.
"Master, I suspect that it was my second brother!" Kong Yang said.
On the other hand, Zhou Han recounted everything that had happened earlier in full detail.
"In that case, Kong Li is really suspicious." Linlong nodded.
"I will go find father and let father cause trouble for him!" Kong Yang said.
Linlong said, "I can find Luo Lie."
"Master, do you have any ideas?" Kong Yang could not help but ask.
The few of them pricked up their ears.
Linlong immediately took out the bamboo rat and said. "This bamboo rat can track Luo Lie's scent and find him."
Previously, when he made Luo Lie his substitute, he felt that such a thing might happen. Therefore, he made the bamboo rat remember Luo Lie's scent. Who would have thought that it would come in handy at this time?
After releasing the bamboo rat, it did not sense Luo Lie's aura. It was obvious that Luo Lie was not in the Kong Residence. He was somewhere outside.
In this case, the possibility of Luo Lie being captured by Kong Li was much lower.
After thinking about it, Linlong said to Kong Yang, "Kong Yang, tell your father the truth and ask him to send an expert who can activate Grade 4 Ice Talisman to help us."
"Okay." Kong Yang nodded and walked out.
Not long after, he saw his father.
"Father, an expert who has activated the Grade 4 Ice Talisman has snuck into my courtyard and captured my master!" Kong Yang reported.
"Is this true?" The Kong Family Head could not help but frown.
"It's true!" Kong Yang nodded. "I came to ask Father to send an expert who can activate Grade 4 Ice Talisman to help us find the culprit!"
"Alright then … I'll ask Kong Zhe to help you!" The Kong Family Head nodded his head and instructed a servant to call over a middle-aged man.
"Greetings, Uncle Zhe!" Kong Yang greeted respectfully.
"Second Young Master," Kong Zhe greeted respectfully.
The Kong Family Head looked at Kong Zhe and said, "Kong Zhe, someone snuck into our Kong Residence and captured Yang 'er's master. Go and help us find the culprit!"
"Okay!" Kong Zhe immediately replied.
After that, Kong Yang brought Kong Zhe to his courtyard.
When he returned to his courtyard, he discovered that Linlong was not around.
Zhou Han said, "Young Master went out. He said that he will be back soon."
It didn't take long for Lin Long to return.
Upon seeing Linlong, Kong Yang quickly introduced him. "Young Master, this is my Uncle Zhe. He is an expert who can activate Grade 4 Ice Talisman."
Since he said that his master was captured, Kong Yang naturally wouldn't say that Linlong was his master.
Although Kong Zhe was puzzled as to why Linlong was wearing a big bamboo hat, he didn't say it out loud.
After exchanging greetings, Linlong said, "I have found Luo Lie's location."
He went out just now to expand his search range. What made him happy was that he sensed Luo Lie's aura not long after walking out. Then, he locked onto Luo Lie's approximate location.
Immediately, a group of people walked out of the Kong Residence and headed towards the location where the bamboo rat had already locked onto.
…
At this moment, in a certain courtyard, Uncle Ling and the young man were coldly looking at Luo Lie in front of them.
"Luo Lie, are you the alchemist who refined the Spirit Tranquil Pill?" The young man asked coldly.
"You have misunderstood. I don't have that ability," Luo Lie said with a bitter expression.
"If you don't have that ability, why did you learn from others and wear a big bamboo hat?" Uncle Ling said.
"That's because I can't control my body," Luo Lie said.
"Can't control my body? Don't lie to us. Zhou Han wrote a letter to tell us that the Zhou family's patriarch has already obtained the pill formula for refining the Spirit Tranquil Pill. Since you followed Zhou Han and wore a big bamboo hat, who else could it be if not the alchemist? "The young man said coldly.
"I really am not," Luo Lie said helplessly.
Although he was depressed, he naturally didn't dare to expose Linlong's information.
"It seems like you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!" The young man sneered.
After saying that, he took out a shining knife and waved it in front of Luo Lie's head. Then, he threatened, "If you don't tell me the truth, I will cut off one of your ears!"
Before Luo Lie could answer, his knife suddenly slid down.
In the next moment, a strand of Luo Lie's hair was directly cut off.
This caused Luo Lie to break out in a cold sweat. If the young man's knife was just a little bit off, his head would have definitely been cut.
"Quick, tell us the truth!" Then, the young man pressed.
