In the evening …
In the room where Zhang Chulan and the others were …
"I can't contact him …" Lu Lin shook her head as soon as she returned,
"Tang Wenlong did put in a lot of effort to help us contact him. Those Tang Sect disciples also seem to be looking for the old sect leader … It doesn't seem like they're pretending."
As soon as she said that, the room fell into silence.
Lu Linglong frowned and crossed her arms. "Ah Lian, it seems that the old sect leader really doesn't want to see you. Are we really going to …"
"Yeah." Zhang Chulan nodded and interrupted Lu Linglong. Then, he turned to look at Zhang Lingyu, who was standing in front of the door.
Seeing this …
Zhang Lingyu looked at the Tang Sect disciples sitting outside through the glass on the door and said softly, "They're watching us."
"…" Lu Linglong.
"Then it seems that the old sect leader really means that." Zhang Chulan shook his head helplessly.
Lu Lin was not in the room earlier. When she heard Zhang Chulan's words, she immediately looked at everyone in confusion. "Did the old sect leader say anything to you before?"
"No …" Zhang Chulan leaned against the railing of the bed in the dormitory and explained,
"Brother Lu, the old sect leader did not tell us clearly, but thinking about how we can continue to stay in the Tang Sect by pretending … Isn't it because the old man gave us a chance?"
"Moreover, there's only one chance, and that's the chance to flip the table with the Tang Sect now!"
"Flip the table with the Tang Sect?" Hearing this, before Lu Lin could say anything, Zhang Lingyu frowned. "What do you mean?"
"The meaning is very simple …" Zhang Chulan continued to explain without turning his head.
"What the Old Sect Master said during the day was actually meant for the few of us. To sum it up, after today … we won't have any more chances."
"So …"
"We can do as we see fit tonight. As long as we have the guts …"
"Do as we see fit?" Zhang Lingyu was worried about the Tang Sect disciples outside the door. He tried his best to lower his voice and asked, "What do you plan to do? What do you mean by flipping the table with the Tang Sect? "
"My goal is to sow discord between the Tang Sect and Quan Xing. In the end, the Tang Sect will deal with Quan Xing's group. Then, I will seize the opportunity to contact Granny Jin Feng …" Zhang Chulan said.
"I'm afraid that when I first came into contact with Tang Miaoxing, the old men of the Tang Sect had already seen through me. They should be able to guess that I don't have good intentions towards the Tang Sect and Quan Xing …"
"However, other than Tang Miaoxing who instigated me, I'm afraid that no one would realize what I would do for this purpose."
As soon as he finished speaking,
Zhang Chulan patted his face hard, then got up and sat on the edge of the bed. He looked at the other four people in the room and said,
"I have to see Granny Jin Feng tonight even if I have to force my way in. If necessary, I will bring her and Xia Liuqing out together!"
"Do you know what you're saying?" Zhang Lingyu immediately scolded in a low voice.
"Your cooperation with Quan Xing is already a little thoughtless. Now, you actually want to completely break up with the Tang Sect for Quan Xing. Do you know …"
"Hey, Uncle-Master …" Zhang Chulan suddenly looked at Zhang Lingyu with a smile and said,
"Everyone has the right to criticize me on this matter, but only you don't have the right. I wonder who was kicked out of Mount Longhu a while ago because of an unclear relationship with Quan Xing?"
"…" Zhang Lingyu.
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Lingyu recalled the scene a while ago and immediately withered.
On the other side …
Lu Lin didn't care about Zhang Lingyu's private affairs. After careful consideration, she said,
After careful consideration, she said, "… Are we really going to war with the Tang Sect?"
"This … isn't this a little too much?" Lu Linglong couldn't help but hesitate about this.
The Lu siblings were very concerned about the news of the Rootless Sheng. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to the Tang Sect with Zhang Chulan and planned to contact Granny Jin Feng, who had a close relationship with the Rootless Sheng.
However, the Lu family's education was still there. They could investigate the Rootless Sheng regardless of the risk to themselves, but they were unwilling to hurt other innocent people because of their own affairs. In the eyes of the Lu siblings, starting a war with the Tang Sect was indeed a little too selfish.
Hearing this …
Zhang Chulan looked at the Lu siblings and Zhang Lingyu and said, "Uncle-Master, the two of you, I asked you to come this time to protect my safety. In fact, the three of you have already completed your mission so far …"
"Besides, what I'm going to do next is tantamount to courting death. There's no such thing as safety to protect. If the three of you want to leave, it's best to leave now …"
"Zhang Chulan, I have a question …" Lu Linglong interrupted with a serious look on her face.
"You said that almost no one in the Tang Sect could have imagined how far you would go for your own goal. Then what is your purpose in coming to the Tang Sect this time?"
"It has something to do with the whereabouts of the Rootless Sheng," Zhang Chulan replied.
"What are the details?" Lu Linglong immediately asked.
"…" Zhang Chulan fell silent and did not continue to answer Lu Linglong's question.
Seeing this …
"I understand." Lu Linglong did not ask any further. "Just like Liu Zhenren said, if I want to continue to understand, I will pay the price."
Lu Linglong only had one goal, and that was to find out information related to the Rootless Sheng. It would be best if she could confirm whether the Rootless Sheng was alive or dead.
As for other dangerous matters that were related to the Rootless Sheng, even if she was really interested in understanding them in detail, she would still consider the Lu family and would not drag the Lu family into the mire with her.
"I also have a question."
Lu Lin looked at Lu Linglong, who had fallen silent. Then, she looked at Zhang Chulan, who was sitting opposite her on the bed, and asked,
"Zhang Chulan, are you doing evil?"
"Absolutely not," Zhang Chulan answered without thinking.
"… That's arbitrary." Lu Lin was stunned when she saw Zhang Chulan's unhesitant attitude.
Then, she said, "It's common for people to do evil without knowing it …"
"I know!" Zhang Chulan looked at Lu Lin seriously and said, "I know that I'm kind …"
"… That's even more arrogant." Lu Lin frowned.
"Arrogant?" Zhang Chulan said slowly, expressionlessly.
"I don't have high expectations for myself and others. At the very least, when it comes to the Tang Sect, I won't feel any joy from the suffering of others. I will only feel even more depressed because of it, even if I'm the one who inflicted the suffering on them …"
These seemingly inexplicable and even contradictory words were said. Apart from Feng Bao Bao, the other three young people all looked at Zhang Chulan in silence, especially Zhang Lingyu, who had just been chased out of Mount Longhu. It was as if he had discovered something that he did not possess.
Puzzled, puzzled, and envious …
At night …
Zhang Chulan looked at the sky outside the window, then immediately gestured to Feng Bao Bao and said,
"Bao 'er, the one outside the door, are you going?"
"Okay!"
— — —
About an hour later …
There were gradually sounds in the direction of the Tang Sect campus. It was obvious that Zhang Chulan and the others had started to cause trouble.
Behind the Tang Sect …
Liu Xiaojiang, wearing a black mask, quietly appeared in front of a cave.
He looked back in the direction of the Tang Sect campus, then released the Qi in his body to strengthen his senses. His eyes immediately flashed with red light, then he slowly walked into the dark cave.
Tang Miaoxing's Qi was inside the cave, and there were also some Qis that had not been seen in the Tang Sect for a while.
Furthermore, through his senses …
Liu Xiaojiang found that most of the unfamiliar Qis kept a certain distance from Tang Miaoxing in the cave. There was only one Qis that was relatively old, but far less powerful than Tang Miaoxing's. It seemed to be sitting in front of Tang Miaoxing.
Was this Xu Xin, who was also one of the 36 Thieves and was hidden in the Tang Sect?
Wasn't this Qis a little too weak?
Liu Xiaojiang sensed the situation in the cave. Even though he had roughly guessed the identity of the person opposite Tang Miaoxing, he was still a little unwilling to believe that this person was Xu Xin.
After all, Tang Miaoxing had personally revealed yesterday that the only person who could use the Pill Devour was Xu Xin. How could a member of the Tang Sect who could even learn and inherit the Pill Devour's Qi be inferior to some outstanding juniors?
Then, with doubts in his heart …
Liu Xiaojiang passed through the only spacious passage in the cave and came to a relatively spacious' square '. He looked up at the red symbols engraved on the stone cave at the end of the cave and could not help but slowly frown thoughtfully.
"… It's this kind of strange symbol again. Could this thing really be the Pill Devour's Qi path?"
"Tsk, that's no wonder …"
Liu Xiaojiang had a detailed understanding of the Tang Sect before he came, and because the company had sent people to supervise the dismantling of some of the Tang Sect's mechanisms, he also had a little understanding of the symbols engraved on those mechanisms, so he knew that these symbols were likely the Pill Devour's Qi path in the human body.
But it was also because of this that he understood why the Pill Devour had gradually disappeared in the Tang Sect.
Because this kind of spiraling Qi path that did not conform to the human body's meridians …
Liu Xiaojiang felt that if everyone in the Tang Sect could learn Pill Devouring, then it would be like pulling a zither in the crotch of a pants. Pure fucking nonsense!
"Outsiders can't learn it at all. Even if it's the Tang Sect's cultivation method, there's still a slim chance of survival … What exactly were the Tang Sect's ancestors thinking?"
He could not help but mutter in his heart about the Pill Devour.
Liu Xiaojiang still walked toward the stone cave at the end of the square and saw two young men in white clothes slowly appear. They stood motionless in front of the stone cave as if they were waiting for him to go over.
"You guys …"
Liu Xiaojiang walked in front of the two Tang Sect disciples and stopped. He looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
The two Tang Sect disciples in Tang Tomb seemed to be about the same age as the Tang Sect disciples outside. In fact, they were almost on par with each other in terms of temperament, but their expressions gave off an … abnormal, indifferent feeling that they did not seem human.
Not only him …
Liu Xiaojiang looked at the expressions on the faces of the two Tang Sect disciples and even felt that they might not even care about their own lives …
"Black Mask …" One of the female Tang Sect disciples suddenly said when she saw Liu Xiaojiang.
"You … should be Senior Ying Gou."
"The old sect master is inside, and so is Senior Xu Xin … Please follow us," the bald male Tang Sect disciple quickly said.
After saying that, the two Tang Sect disciples turned around and walked into the stone cave one after another under Liu Xiaojiang's gaze.
Seeing this..,
Liu Xiaojiang could only suppress the doubts and confusion in his heart and continue to follow the two Tang Sect disciples into the stone cave.
..
A moment later..,
Liu Xiaojiang followed the two Tang Sect disciples who led the way and arrived at a square that was as spacious as before. However, there were some small caves on the surrounding stone walls that looked like honeycombs.
At this moment..,
Tang Miaoxing was sitting beside a stone platform in the middle of the square. He was playing chess with a calm and serious expression with a thin and weak old man in ragged clothes who did not take care of himself.
"Old Sect Master, he's here …" the bald male Tang Sect disciple said calmly.
Then, regardless of whether Tang Miaoxing had any reaction to this or why Liu Xiaojiang was allowed to enter, the two Tang Sect disciples once again walked back the way they came.
"… You're being so mysterious."
Liu Xiaojiang watched the two Tang Sect disciples leave. Then, he raised his head and looked at the small caves on the surrounding stone walls. Finally, he walked towards the two old men sitting on the stone platform.
However, when he saw the two old men fighting fiercely on the chessboard, he did not interrupt this evenly matched game. Instead, he stood silently at the side and watched the game.
Ten minutes later..,
"Sigh, we lost …" Tang Miaoxing noticed the situation of the game and immediately sighed and shook his head. Then, he looked at the silent Liu Xiaojiang and said,
"You're here?"
"Yes, at your invitation, I'm here to be a chess piece for the Tang Sect," Liu Xiaojiang said.
"Hmph …" When Tang Miaoxing heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh with a smile. "Look at what you're saying. The power you have, the chess piece … Aren't you being too modest?"
"Under the condition that it doesn't affect the original purpose, why not sell a small favor to a famous sect like the Tang Sect …?"
Liu Xiaojiang turned his head to look at the relatively thin old man beside him and said,
"Senior Xu Xin, the reason why we came to the Tang Sect this time is all because we learned that you are still alive. We want to ask you about some secrets of the past."
Hearing this,
Xu Xin first looked at the mysterious masked man beside him, then looked at Tang Miaoxing again and said,
"Senior Brother, is this guy who doesn't dare to show his face the Sect Leader you just mentioned?"
"That's him …" Tang Miaoxing nodded and suddenly asked.
"How is it?"
"I can't see his face, so I can't be sure, but the possibility is very small. Although that person is a little reckless, at least he has the virtue of daring to take responsibility for his actions …" Xu Xin slowly shook his head.
"Isn't that so …" Tang Miaoxing immediately heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good … Otherwise, it would really be a little difficult."
"After all, if not including you, even if everyone in the Tang Sect were to join forces, we might not be able to succeed in keeping this guy. It's good that it's not, it's good that it's not …"
"…" Liu Xiaojiang.
What the f * ck?
These two old bastards are beating around the bush to scold me for being irresponsible, right?
And …
They actually want to keep me in the Tang Sect?
F * ck!
To think that I saved face for the two of you just now!
If I had known earlier, I would have flipped the chessboard over!
