The next night …
In an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the capital …
"What's that little brat Shen Chong doing? He actually called us over in such a hurry. Does he also think that he's the sect leader of the entire sect?"
Before Yuan Tao and Silly Egg entered the door, the cursing voices had already arrived. Then, the master and disciple directly entered the factory and saw the people who had been waiting inside for a long time.
Inside the factory …
Xia He, Gao Ning, and Dou Mei, apart from Shen Chong, had obviously been waiting here for a long time.
Tu Junfang, Lu Liang, Xia Liuqing, and Mei Jinfeng sat together.
In addition, on a workbench not far from the crowd, there was a tall and well-proportioned man with a buzz cut. He was wearing a light purple sportswear and had a cinnabar seal between his eyebrows.
The buzz cut man did not seem to care about the others around him. Sitting alone outside the circle of these all-rounded 'legendary figures', he looked a little out of place with his eyes closed.
"Hehe … Benefactor Yuan, don't be so angry. Aren't you still here?"
When Gao Ning saw that Yuan Tao and his disciple had also arrived at the factory, he immediately smiled and nodded at Yuan Tao.
"Bullsh * t! I'm here because of Shen Chong? I'm here because of Elder Xia and Grandma Jin Feng! That's why I brought Silly Egg over to take a look! "
Yuan Tao walked over with Silly Egg and sat to the side. Then, he curled his lips at Gao Ning with a displeased expression. He did not feel that the other party was really trying to persuade him not to be angry.
Hearing this …
Xia Liuqing, who was sitting with Mei Jinfeng, immediately turned to look at Yuan Tao, who had just arrived. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Are you here for me and Jin Feng?"
"Little Yuan, what do you mean by this? Do you also want the sect leader's collection?"
"Elder Xia, don't think too much." Yuan Tao was obviously a little afraid of Xia Liuqing and immediately explained,
"Senior Rootless Life is our all-rounded former sect leader after all. He is also the only sect leader who has been recognized by everyone in recent years. Even if he betrays us …"
"Hmm?" Mei Jinfeng looked at Yuan Tao coldly.
"Uh … Even if Senior Rootless Life doesn't care about the position of sect leader at all, he has been the sect leader for so long."
Seeing this, Yuan Tao immediately changed her words and said euphemistically, "If those collections must belong to someone, they must belong to Granny Jinfeng. They belong to us, don't they?"
"Nonsense!" Mei Jinfeng retorted, "Sect Leader's collection doesn't belong to anyone. Those things have always belonged to Sect Leader alone!"
"Yes, yes, yes …"
Yuan Tao showed weakness and said, "But even if it's for safekeeping, shouldn't it be Granny Jinfeng and me?"
Mei Jinfeng frowned and said, "You brat …"
"Xiaoyuan, it's already gone, so it's useless even if you come up with an idea. Unless you can find out who took it, why don't … you help Jinfeng look for it?" Xia Liuqing quickly said with a smile.
"… The two of you don't even have a clue on this matter, let alone a junior like me who doesn't know anything." Yuan Tao thought carefully and shook his head.
"Forget it. Since Granny Jin Feng doesn't want to, let's not talk about it anymore. Otherwise, outsiders will take advantage of us."
After saying that,
Yuan Tao glanced at the other members present, especially the man with the buzz cut who was sitting alone not far away, and then said, "Don't worry.
"Wow, looks like Shen Chong's reputation is really big. Apart from the few crooks who call themselves the 'Six Thieves', everyone who has a say in our society is here."
"Gao Ning, aren't you with Shen Chong? You clearly called us all over … Where's that brat?"
"… Benefactor Yuan, don't be anxious." Gao Ning touched his bald head and turned to look at Xia He, who was silent at the side, and said,
"Little Xia, where is Little Shen? Didn't you go to do something together?"
"I've already finished my business," Xia He yawned and stretched her body, revealing her perfect figure. She then said, "That's right, I've already finished my business.
"He's been acting mysteriously recently. It seems that he has been in contact with the Domain Painting Poison before. Recently … I haven't seen him for a while."
"Sister Xia, I say, Brother Shen has been acting mysteriously recently. Did he investigate a lot about what happened back then?" Lu Liang chuckled.
"It wasn't easy for me to escape from my home. There are too many things that I want to know right now, and there's also something that I want to ask Brother Shen about. Could it be that he's been delayed by something?"
"That's right …" Gao Ning nodded and said, "It's already past the agreed time. What does Little Shen know, or what has happened to him? Little Xia … do you know?"
"Hmph …" Xia He chuckled and said, "I don't know what Shen Chong knows.
"I don't know what Shen Chong encountered, but if I had to guess, it's probably not a good thing for some people."
"Little Xia, what do you mean?" Dou Mei walked out from behind Gao Ning.
"Hmm?" Xia He looked at Dou Mei. Thinking that Dou Mei had "contributed" by introducing her to the whole team, she smiled and reminded her,
"Shen Chong has never been a person who likes to take the lead, and he's never taken the initiative to gather everyone. Even if he comes across something interesting, he'll only inform you of it by notifying you.
"He's really acting strangely this time, so I suggest that you think about what he said when he contacted you …"
"After all, he's not the leader of the whole team, so he can't use his authority to gather everyone. If he really discovered something important …"
"If this matter can make everyone come here voluntarily, could it be that he really discovered some big secret?"
As soon as she said that …
Everyone in the factory fell silent. It wasn't that they didn't think of this, but they didn't think that Shen Chong would dare to deceive them.
But if he wasn't deceiving them, they also didn't think that Shen Chong would call so many people to meet at the same time ….
Did Shen Chong really deceive them?
Did he just call them here to meet him?
Then, when no one spoke, the man with the buzz-cut suddenly opened his mouth.
He slowly opened his eyes and said, "Shen Chong said that there's a guy who's as strong as me who wants to join the whole team."
"So, I'm here to see who's as strong as me. If there's a chance, I want to test my own strength."
"That's what I heard too," Tu Junfang looked at the man with the buzz-cut and said with a smile,
"Someone wants to join the whole team, and he wants me to come and be a witness. And it's a guy who's not weak. I also want to see who Shen Chong said is not weak and who wants to join the whole team."
"Hmph!" Yuan Tao sneered and said, "I'm the same as you guys, but Shen Chong said that Elder Xia and Grandma Jin Feng would also come, so I brought Silly Egg to take a look."
"Although he didn't lie to me, when this little bastard mentioned the two elders, it's obvious that he wants me to come over …."
"That's what Dou Mei and I heard too …." Gao Ning said with a smile.
"You don't have to look at me." Xia He noticed that Gao Ning and the others were looking at her.
She curled her lips and said, "Shen Chong didn't even tell me this. He only said that he had something important to tell me …."
After Xia He told them the reason for her visit, the members around her didn't suspect anything. Obviously, they knew that Xia He and Shen Chong were very close, so it wasn't anything new for them to call each other over.
However, after most people said the reason given by Shen Chong, Xia Liuqing, Mei Jinfeng, and Lu Liang subconsciously frowned. Obviously, they sensed that something was wrong with the reason given by the others.
At the same time ….
Most of the people present also noticed the behavior of the three people, but since Xia Liuqing and Mei Jinfeng were unwilling to say anything, no one would force the two elders of the whole team to say anything.
"Lu Liang, what about you? Why are you here?" Yuan Tao immediately looked at Lu Liang, who was also silent, and asked the question in the others' hearts.
"I …."
At this moment …
Creak ….
There was a movement near the gate of the factory, and two figures slowly appeared in front of everyone.
One of them was obviously the troublemaker that everyone present recognized — Shen Chong.
And the other … was a guy in a black robe with a dramatic mask on his face. Apart from Lu Liang, who was a little stunned when he saw this person, almost everyone else didn't think that they knew this guy who didn't dare to show his face.
"Oh, you're all here so early. I'm really sorry for making you wait. Let me introduce you, this is …."
"I'm Yinggou."
