When Liu Xiaojiang and Zhang Chulan heard this, they subconsciously froze in place and looked at each other with their eyes wide open.
"Brother Liu, did Ma Xianhong say why he captured Mei Jinfeng?" Zhang Chulan raised his finger and pointed at Feng Bao.
"What do you think of Bao 'er's idea?"
Liu Xiaojiang did not answer the question immediately. He touched his chin silently and looked at Feng Bao in surprise.
"Baby! You're really something! Although this idea is quite stupid! But for the current situation … it's really not bad! "
Feng Bao scratched the back of her head with one hand and made an 'OK' gesture with the other.
"Well … Don't be like them and think that I'm a fool. In fact, I'm smart most of the time."
"Damn …" Zhang Chulan noticed the change in Liu Xiaojiang's expression and could not help but be surprised.
"Is Bao 'er's intermittent quick-wittedness acting up again?"
Hearing this,
Liu Xiaojiang did not care about the 'intermittent quick-wittedness' question. He turned his head calmly and said,
"Although I feel that Ma Xianhong is very likely to be controlled by someone, based on his state of being able to think normally and his degree of protection for the mastermind behind him, no matter what the specific situation is … That person's style of doing things on the surface will definitely not make him feel too suspicious."
"Not only is Ma Xianhong not a bad person who kills the innocent, but he is also a very helpful idealist. He wants a good person who is not completely controlled to work for him wholeheartedly … Do you think that person will kill the innocent old man that he personally sent people to kidnap?"
"Mei Jinfeng is an all-around senior figure," Zhang Chulan reminded thoughtfully.
"Would Ma Xianhong really sympathize with an all-around demon?"
"You'll know when you get to know him more." Liu Xiaojiang did not directly answer the question. Instead, he smiled and shook his head.
"I'm guessing that after you understand what kind of person he is, you will feel a lot of guilt when you make a move."
"… This guy is too honest." Zhang Chulan couldn't help but click his tongue.
Liu Xiaojiang ignored Zhang Chulan's surprise and continued, "Mei Jinfeng isn't a true omnipotent demon."
"There is no hatred between Ma Xianhong and Quan Xing, and he doesn't have much of an opinion about Quan Xing. He seems to only think of it as a rather nasty inhuman sect."
"Why would a guy who would never claim to be righteous hurt an innocent old man because of his own problems when there was no enmity between them?"
"Furthermore …"
At this point, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Chulan who was listening patiently. He suddenly shook his head and sighed.
"Forget it, for the sake of my baby, I'll tell you, kid …"
"What?" Zhang Chulan didn't expect that Liu Xiaojiang would care so much about Feng Bao Bao.
"Rootless Life."
Liu Xiaojiang said slowly, "I don't believe that the person who captured Mei Jinfeng was targeting Quan Xing or seeking revenge on Quan Xing. If it was purely for this kind of thing, he wouldn't have looked for an old man who had almost left Quan Xing in recent years."
"But if it was for other things, other than the rootless life back then … I can't find anything else worth paying attention to about the old man."
"Rootless Life?" Zhang Chulan was obviously unfamiliar with this name.
Seeing this..,
Liu Xiaojiang could only continue to explain, "Rootless Life was once the sect leader of Quan Xing. He was also one of the thirty-six thieves who caused the Jia-Shen rebellion back then."
"Is it really because of the eight strange skills?" Zhang Chulan frowned and said.
"… Yes, and no."
Liu Xiaojiang shook his head and said, "Although I know a lot about what happened back then from Private Advisor Tian, I promised him that I wouldn't tell anyone else."
"The name and identity of the rootless life are not a secret. Even now, many people who experienced it back then know about it. That's why I can tell you this without any pressure."
"Rootless Life …" Zhang Chulan pondered for a long time.
"Brother Liu, do you think that the mastermind behind Ma Xianhong captured Mei Jinfeng to investigate this rootless life?"
"The probability is indeed very high," Liu Xiaojiang said.
"So …" Zhang Chulan looked at Liu Xiaojiang with sparkling eyes. "This rootless life is an extremely important figure even among the thirty-six thieves?"
"Yes." Liu Xiaojiang nodded and admitted.
Seeing this..,
Zhang Chulan fell into silence again. After a long time, he finally raised his head:
"Brother Liu, I know that you won't go against Private Advisor Tian's wishes, and I won't ask you what you know from him, but … for the sake of sister Bao 'er, can you give me some pointers?"
"…" Liu Xiaojiang looked at the slightly anxious Zhang Chulan. He turned around and found that Feng Bao Bao had been looking at him, so he said,
"I know that you guys are investigating the baby's background, but the things I know so far, there are no clues about her background. Instead, there are only some inside stories about the eight strange skills. I can't point you in a clear direction of investigation."
At this point..,
He suddenly remembered that there were still many people who had experienced it back then who were still alive. Without waiting for Zhang Chulan's response, he continued,
"I remember that when we were on Mount Longhu, Old Master Lu had clearly expressed that he owed you once because he took out the heavenly book as the prize for Luo Tian's grand ritual. You can find an opportunity to go to the Lu family and ask about what happened back then. After all, he was also a person who had experienced the rebellion of Jia Shen back then."
"As for the rest, we can only wait until we resolve the current matter and find Mei Jinfeng's whereabouts …"
"Is that the only way …" Zhang Chulan hesitated.
Liu Xiaojiang ignored Zhang Chulan's hesitation. He turned around and looked at Feng Bao Bao, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed. He smiled and said,
"Baby, don't worry. As long as I find clues about your background, I will take the initiative to contact you, so you don't have to be too anxious. Anyway, time is the most worthless thing to us."
"Okay!" Feng Bao Bao nodded vigorously.
Zhang Chulan noticed the attitude of Liu Xiaojiang and Feng Bao Bao towards each other. He couldn't help but look at the two of them suspiciously.
"Sister Bao 'er, before I came back from Old Wang's place, did the two of you say something?"
Liu Xiaojiang smiled mysteriously. He didn't open his mouth to answer Zhang Chulan's doubts. He just looked at Feng Bao Bao with a smile.
"… uh …"
When Feng Bao Bao heard Zhang Chulan's question, she crossed her arms and thought for a moment. Then, she knocked her hand:
"Oh! I didn't … I didn't say anything too important. "
"Didn't you say … that this guy can be trusted? He just said something about Chen Duole, and then helped me carefully check my body."
"F * ck? Check … check my body? " Zhang Chulan was a little stunned. He looked at Feng Bao Bao in a daze and then quickly reacted. He turned to look at Liu Xiaojiang, gritted his teeth, and said,
"Brother Liu! Please explain to me properly! What's with the body check?! "
Seeing this..,
The corner of Liu Xiaojiang's mouth could not help but twitch a few times. He turned to look at Feng Bao Bao, who was lying on the bed with an innocent face, and said,
"Baby, didn't I tell you not to talk about this?"
