Qin Yi was not happy with Elder Zhou's attitude of coming and going at his beck and call. However, Qin Yi decided to endure it.
If there was a conflict at this time, not to mention how strong this old man was, just by relying on the Fierce Tiger Army guarding outside, one person and one knife, they could chop Qin Yi and Lu Yu into minced meat.
The two each had their own thoughts as they walked out of the courtyard.
Elder Zhou's eyes were deep as he stared in the direction that Qin Yi and Lu Yu left.
After a long time, Elder Zhou finally spoke, "Fairy Xu, what do you think about these two people?"
Elder Zhou's attitude towards Xu Qing was obviously more polite. No matter what, he would ask for her opinion.
Although the Luofu Sect that Fang Lei belonged to was the strongest among the three sects, Elder Zhou's attitude clearly showed that he appreciated Xu Qing more. He thought that Xu Qing's potential was much higher than Fang Lei's.
Hearing Elder Zhou's question, Xu Qing smiled and said, "One is ordinary, the other is really interesting."
After so many years, Xu Qing was used to men's passionate and crazy gazes. But in front of her, Qin Yi could be so calm. This made Xu Qing quite surprised, but she also had a faint interest in Qin Yi.
As she spoke, Xu Qing stood up and bowed to Elder Zhou. She said calmly, "I'll have to trouble Elder Zhou with the following matters. Junior has some matters to attend to and needs to leave first. "
Seeing that Xu Qing was about to leave, Elder Zhou immediately stood up, "Fairy, this matter is very important. Why don't Fairy wait for the clues to appear before making a decision? "
This matter involved the interests of the three sects. Elder Zhou understood the pros and cons. He asked Xu Qing to stay because he wanted her to be a witness to prevent the three sects from joining forces against him in the future.
Hearing this, Xu Qing smiled and said, "Leaving this matter to Elder Zhou, Junior can rest assured. Even if we can't find any clues, the three sects will take responsibility. Elder Zhou can rest assured! "
On Demon Spirit Island, Xu Qing and Gao Lin had already found out that the culprit of this disaster was Ding Hao.
This time, he returned to Misty Cloud Island to interrogate the trial targets in order to find a scapegoat to bear the wrath of the Luo Fu Sect and Mirage Flower Palace. This was to prevent the conflict between the two sects and the Abyss Sacred Valley from worsening.
At the end of the day, it was to maintain the balance between the three sects.
From Xu Qing's point of view, this was undoubtedly an act of shirking responsibility. It was not honorable.
Therefore, he was not very interested in this matter. Sitting here was also to see if there were any other implications to this matter.
Seeing that no matter how he interrogated Zhang Xuan, he didn't want to stay here any longer and waste his time.
"Junior Brother Fang Lei."
Xu Qing suddenly smiled and greeted Fang Lei.
"I see that you don't have the heart to stay here. Why don't you leave with me?"
Although Xu Qing did not deliberately observe Fang Lei, she had already noticed that Fang Lei was absent-minded. Now that he was going to leave, he might as well find a reason for Fang Lei to go with him.
Fang Lei's mind was indeed not here. After the trial, their actions were no longer restricted. Thinking of his sister Fang Yun on Misty Cloud Island, Fang Lei couldn't wait to meet her immediately.
But as soon as he landed on the island, he was regarded as the leader of the Luo Fu Sect and was invited here by Elder Zhou.
Now that Xu Qing had spoken to help him, Fang Lei certainly would not let go of this opportunity. He quickly got up and said goodbye to Elder Zhou, then left with Xu Qing.
Elder Zhou was the only one left in the room. He sat there with a bitter face and rubbed his forehead awkwardly.
After a long time, he finally smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly, "It seems that this time, I am like a mouse in the bellows, suffering from both sides. Now that these two people are so determined, I am afraid that the Abyss Sacred Valley will not let me go. "
Although Elder Zhou was very powerful on Misty Cloud Island, his status in the Yunhai Empire was also not low. But in the face of the three major sects, he also did not have the capital to contend with them.
During the trial of the sects, the sects could not interfere. But every disciple of the major sects had a soul lamp.
The soul lamp could detect life and death. If the person was alive, the lamp would exist. If the person died, the lamp would shatter.
Not long ago, the soul lamps of the disciples of the Luo Fu Sect and the Mirage Flower Palace were extinguished one after another. This made the two sects anxious. They had already rushed to the Misty Cloud Island to question Elder Zhou.
But because they could not interfere, they did not deliberately make things difficult for him. After all, it was normal to die during the trial.
However, a few days ago, Ding Hao and Gao Lin's soul lamps extinguished.
The Shura Major Sect and the Abyss Sacred Valley could not sit still anymore. If the rules were not set, they would have stopped the trial a long time ago.
Although they did not stop the trial, the higher ups of the three sects had already given their orders. If this matter was not thoroughly investigated, Elder Zhou would be held fully responsible for it!
Therefore, once the trial ended, Elder Zhou invited Xu Qing and Fang Lei to ask about it.
This question made Elder Zhou break out in a cold sweat. The murderer was unexpectedly the dead genius of the Abyss Sacred Valley, Ding Hao.
Not only did these two people say so, but all the people who went out of the island also said that Ding Hao led the disciples of the Abyssal Sacred Valley to madly slaughter the disciples of other sects on Devil Spirit Island, causing panic and resentment.
Most of the sects in the Yunhai Empire agreed with this truth. But only the Abyss Sacred Valley refused to accept it. As long as the Abyss Sacred Valley did not accept it, Elder Zhou would also be in trouble.
Therefore, he thought of a way. In the name of arresting the real murderer, he would interrogate the targets that he tricked into coming to Demonic Spirit Island.
If they were not clear or said something wrong, he would immediately arrest them and punish them as the mastermind.
Elder Zhou originally wanted Xu Qing and Fang Lei to be witnesses so that they could show that they did not care about the Abyss Sacred Valley anymore.
Reality proved that Elder Zhou's thinking was too simple. He also underestimated Xu Qing's intelligence and adaptability, causing his plan to fail.
If Elder Zhou forcefully stopped Xu Qing from leaving, he would offend the Luo Fu Sect and the Mirage Flower Palace, two of the five cauldrons.
If he let them go, the Abyss Sacred Valley would not let them go so easily.
Moreover, Xu Qing's attitude had clearly told Elder Zhou that they would not agree to find a scapegoat.
"Sigh!" Elder Zhou sighed and smiled bitterly, "Right now, we can only hope that the Luo Fu Sect and the Mirage Flower Palace will not be too aggressive."
The more the Abyss Sacred Valley suffered, the more their anger towards Elder Zhou would burn!
Once the Abyss Sacred Valley suffered a great loss, not only Elder Zhou, but the entire Misty Cloud Island would also suffer.
The development of the situation had reached a height that Elder Zhou could not handle. But now, he was helpless.
As for the interrogation of the trial targets, Elder Zhou would not stop. He hoped that he could find some clues and give an explanation to the other parties.
In fact, the people that Elder Zhou was most suspicious of were Qin Yi and Lu Yu. Especially Qin Yi. Even he could not see through him, so he was obviously not easy to deal with.
Unfortunately, there was no evidence. That information jade slip seemed to be a record of the spiritual herbs, but in reality, it had the intention of monitoring them.
But the two jade slips were as clean as new. It was obvious that they had used some method to block the surveillance.
