When he woke up the next morning, Tang Thirty Six went to find Chen Chang Sheng with two dark circles under his eyes.
"What happened to you?" Chen Chang Sheng was very concerned about his health.
Tang Thirty Six was very tired and said, "Being a lookout is very tiring. Can you guys sleep earlier in the future?"
Chen Chang Sheng heard this and felt a little embarrassed and guilty, "Just a few days."
"A few days?" Tang Thirty Six raised his voice and shouted angrily, "When we were in the capital, you also said a few days. Now it's still a few days! Then tell me, how many days is a few days? How many days is it! How long are you going to hide this? "
Chen Chang Sheng was speechless.
Tang Thirty Six looked at him and said bitterly, "I beg you, hurry up and tell the world. It's too hard to keep a secret."
Chen Chang Sheng comforted him, "I also feel the same way, but ….."
Hearing the words "feel the same way", Tang Thirty Six suddenly became angry and shouted, "What? Feel the same way? Feel your mother's feeling! Feel your mother's feeling! This is your own business! It's none of my business! You get all the benefits! The snow of the Tradition Academy, the wind on the top of the Cold Mountain, you let me take it! If you can, then give me that date! "
Chen Chang Sheng was originally ashamed of what he said, but when he heard the word date, he immediately became alert. He stared at him and said, "What did you say?"
Tang Thirty Six just realized that he let it slip, but he didn't want to admit defeat, "What? Can't I get some benefits for being a lookout? "
Chen Chang Sheng was helpless and said, "Didn't we agree before, don't listen to indecent things, don't look at indecent things?"
Tang Thirty Six pretended to be shocked and said, "You molested her?"
At this moment, Zhexiu walked in and looked at the two people who were at each other's throats. He asked, "You want to fight?"
"Nope." Tang Thirty Six used a ladder to get down and said, "I asked him to help me find out where my idol went, but he just wouldn't let me know."
The idol he was talking about was Liu Qing.
With the departure of Su Li and the mysterious her, the former third assassin in the world should be ranked first on the ranking of assassins.
But even if the Chief Assassin was still an Assassin, the Top Assassin was still an Assassin, and the Top Assassin was still an Assassin.
Just as Zhexiu had said, an assassin participating in the Boiling Stone Summit was seeking death.
Chen Changsheng had once asked the steward of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to look after him. Not long after that steward agreed, he was turned into a pile of blood pearls by the Demon Lord.
When they thought about how Liu Qing had been heavily injured by the Demon Lord and how special his status was, the three of them couldn't help but worry.
On an island in the Heaven Lake, a hot mist pervaded the surroundings of the garden, not dispersing all year round. Living here wasn't necessarily comfortable, but it was very helpful for healing injuries. Especially after being injured by the extremely cold demonic technique, this place could allow one to recover the fastest.
Liu Qing was currently recuperating on the island.
He did not need Chen Changsheng and the other two to worry, nor did he need them to beg the Pavilion of Divination to let him go.
The Assassin List was issued by the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Very few people noticed the hidden meaning behind this fact.
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets sat across from Liu Qing and asked, "With Su Li gone, what do you plan to do next?"
Liu Qing was not a member of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, but he had done many things for the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
In truth, even Su Li had done many things for the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
Liu Qing thought it over, then said, "If Sir does not object, I want to go to the capital."
"To do what in the capital?"
"To kill Tianhai."
"Then, I object."
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets calmly said to him, "The Empress is my good friend, and I don't want you to throw away your life."
Liu Qing replied, "Then let's talk about it later."
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets suddenly asked, "Chen Changsheng … just what sort of person is he?"
Liu Qing very seriously pondered this question for a very long time, finally saying, "He is a good person."
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets slightly arched his brows, rather surprised by this answer.
Whether it was Su Li, Liu Qing, or he, none of them were good people.
What they loathed the most, or rather, disdained the so-called good people.
But when Liu Qing said that Chen Changsheng was a good person, he did not see any ridicule or ridicule on Liu Qing's face, only seriousness and respect.
This answer was very important, to the Elder of Heavenly Secrets.
"Since he is a little fellow who has good intentions towards the world, then I will represent this world in returning his good intentions."
"When did Sir ever have such a thing as good intentions?"
"When a person is about to die, his words are good, so what are his intentions?"
… …
… …
The light boat floated on the surface of the lake, breaking through the mist as if it was traversing a fairyland.
Chen Changsheng could clearly sense that there were defensive arrays in the mist and in the water. As he passed the small island in the middle of the lake, he could see the disciples of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets bowing.
It didn't take long before he arrived at the island in the middle of the lake. It was also the warmest, perhaps even the hottest, place in this frigid mountain range.
As he walked through the mist and stepped on the somewhat slippery stone slabs, a few questions surged in his mind. Why was the Elder of Heavenly Secrets in such a rush to see him? Putting aside the fact that he had just woken up from his coma, the Elder of Heavenly Secrets had probably also suffered significant injuries. As he thought of these things, he gradually forgot about the stifling heat around him.
When he arrived in the garden and saw the Elder of Heavenly Secrets, he finally understood something. Although he still did not have an answer, he already had a clue. Last summer, in the Orthodox Academy, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had sent an old steward to inspect the Stainless Sword. It turned out that the old steward was the Elder of Heavenly Secrets himself.
This meant that the Elder of Heavenly Secrets had naturally not gone to inspect the sword, but to inspect the person, to inspect Chen Changsheng.
The steward responsible for leading the way from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets respectfully led Chen Changsheng to his seat and then silently withdrew.
Chen Changsheng calmly sat, like a junior listening attentively to a lecture.
If this were two years ago, he would have found it impossible to remain so calm upon meeting an important figure like the Elder of Heavenly Secrets.
But now, he had already seen far too many legendary figures, even legends like the Demon Lord and Wang Zhice.
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets noticed that even though he had just passed through the stifling heat of the mist, Chen Changsheng's collar was still tightly buttoned and his clothes were meticulous. He was very satisfied with this.
"I've seen countless heroes, and you are not inferior to any one of them."
Without any pleasantries or probing, the most senior figure on the continent began his conversation. The Elder of Heavenly Secrets looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "I've also seen countless mountains, but my favorite has always been that Mount Langya on the shore of the Eastern Sea. And that mountain was the reward the Divine Empress gave me when I went to the capital to see you."
Only now did Chen Changsheng realize that there were some transactions hidden behind this matter, and he was very shocked.
The entire world knew that the Elder of Heavenly Secrets possessed an unimaginably supreme intelligence and a world-shaking ability to calculate and calculate. In the view of many people, if there really was a person that could see through fate, then that person had to be the Elder of Heavenly Secrets. The Divine Empress had asked the Elder of Heavenly Secrets to take a look at him and had gifted him a famed mountain. This price could not be considered small.
He naturally wanted to know just what secrets the Elder of Heavenly Secrets had seen on his body. But even if he was the future Pope, he was still a junior in front of the Elder of Heavenly Secrets. The tempo of the conversation was not under his control. He had many things he wanted to ask the Elder of Heavenly Secrets, and the Elder of Heavenly Secrets also had many questions he wanted to ask him.
"Since the Demon Lord did not leave at the start, why did he leave later on?" the Elder of Heavenly Secrets asked.
After Chen Changsheng woke up, Tang Thirty-Six and Zhexiu were also most concerned about this question, because his survival was an extremely inconceivable matter.
Even if the Elder of Heavenly Secrets could calculate everything in the world, he still could not calculate just how he had survived.
This was because he could not calculate that Wang Zhice was still alive and that at that moment, Wang Zhice had appeared in Mount Han, in front of that precipice.
Chen Changsheng had promised the old man that he would not speak of this matter. Tang Thirty-Six and Zhexiu were unexpected, but Xu Yourong was an exception.
Although the Elder of Heavenly Secrets had an exalted status and extremely high seniority, this was not an accident, nor was it an exception. As a result, he said nothing, only shook his head.
This was a very direct attitude. The Elder of Heavenly Secrets did not get angry, only calmly gazed at him, a pensive expression on his face. His eyes were calm and brimming with insight, as if they could see through all secrets. "You don't want to tell me how you survived, so can you tell me why the Demon Lord came to kill you?"
Chen Changsheng thought to himself, the Demon Lord did not come to kill me, and then he once more shook his head.
This was still a very direct attitude. He did not want to discuss this matter, because it involved his greatest secret and fear.
"Perhaps you do not know what happened afterwards. When the Demon Lord returned to Xuelao City, he was already heavily injured."
At this point, the Elder of Heavenly Secrets paused, as if giving him some time to accept and digest his shock.
Chen Changsheng was truly shocked. The Demon Lord was heavily injured? And after he broke through the Heavenstone array of Mount Han, just what sort of situation did he encounter?
"He encountered His Majesty the White Emperor."
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets did not give him too much time to guess, straightforwardly saying, "Or to put it more accurately, His Majesty the White Emperor was waiting for him in the snowy plains."
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng's heart gradually sank. Even in the garden at the center of the island that was as warm as spring, he still felt a sliver of cold.
"It seems that the Demon Lord leaving Xuelao City and coming to Mount Han to kill you was already calculated by someone. He … fell into the trap."
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets calmly gazed into his eyes. "Only, I did not know of this trap, nor did the Empress. Then, did you know?"
Chen Changsheng's mind was somewhat absent-minded. Hearing these words, he subconsciously shook his head.
This was the third time he had shaken his head since the conversation began, but it was completely different from the previous two times. He was somewhat perplexed, somewhat uneasy, somewhat unwilling to continue thinking about it.
Yet the Elder of Heavenly Secrets continued to stare into his eyes, his voice still continuing.
"Since this was a trap, the person who set it should have been well aware that you have something on your body that the Demon Lord had to obtain even if it meant taking enormous risks. Just what do you have on your body? How many people in the world know of this matter? You can choose not to answer, but I recommend that you carefully think about it for yourself. "
Chen Changsheng lowered his head, remaining silent for a very long time.
