Wu Zheng lowered his head and said after a moment of silence, "She went to check on the situation in the villa and then went to the back of the mountain."
"Back of the mountain?" The Apothecary's figure paused slightly and he immediately turned his head around. His pair of eyes that seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life revealed a sharp look. "It's late at night and the back of the mountain is full of cliffs. Lord Ye is still young and should be more careful. You must pay attention and not let Lord Ye get hurt."
Wu Zheng narrowed his eyes and did not reply.
The Apothecary wiped his hands clean and looked at Wu Zheng's side profile. Something flashed across his eyes. He sat at the side casually and poured a cup of tea for himself.
"I was thinking too much. Lord Ye is a disciple of the sect and is naturally different from us. With her skills, how would she get hurt? Why do ordinary people like us need to worry about the sect? On the contrary, we will only be a burden when we are in danger … "
The slightly hoarse voice carried an inexplicable meaning into Wu Zheng's ears.
When the word 'burden' was mentioned, Wu Zheng's hands on the table suddenly clenched into fists, and he lowered his head even more.
"Lord Ye saw the inscription on the cliff …"
The Apothecary's gaze suddenly changed, and a trace of malice flashed across his eyes.
"Oh? Did she say anything? "
Wu Zheng suppressed his anger and said, "The inscription is already badly damaged, and the sky is already dark. What can she see?"
Apothecary leaned back in his chair and narrowed his eyes. He sighed softly and suddenly said in a baffled tone, "That's right. It's already dark. Even if something were to happen … I'm afraid no one would know."
Wu Zheng's shoulders stiffened, but the Apothecary had already stood up and walked out.
…
In the pavilion, Ye Qingtang went back to her room to wash up and knocked on Lin Long's door.
Lin Long was slightly surprised to see Ye Qingtang outside the door, but she did not say anything and let her in.
"How do you feel, Senior Sister Lin?" Ye Qingtang asked after entering the room.
Lin Long looked at the eye-catching blood spots on her arm and said, "I don't feel anything unusual."
Ye Qingtang heaved a sigh of relief. She did not know much about the Blood Plague.
"Senior Sister Lin, why were you sent here with Zhou Xuan out of nowhere?" She already had a guess in her mind, but there was a fatal loophole in it.
Lin Long did not know why Ye Qingtang suddenly asked this question, but she still answered. "Zhou Xuan was the one who suggested this mission. Previously, Zhou Xuan and I had a mission at the same time. According to my calculations, there will be at least another half a month before a new sect mission will be assigned to us. However, Zhou Xuan suddenly requested to accept a sect mission in advance. Thus, the Spirit Condensation Mountain Village mission is our turn."
The assignment of sect missions had a fixed time pattern. Zhou Xuan accepted a new mission half a month in advance, and Lin Long, who completed the previous mission at the same time as him, was dragged into it as well.
The moment Lin Long finished speaking, Ye Qingtang suddenly stood up, and a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
She finally found the reason for the loophole in her deduction!
If it was really as she guessed, all the Xuanling Sect disciples who participated in the mission this time would definitely not have any chance of surviving.
But in her previous life …
It had already been a few years since she entered the sect. At that time, both Zhou Xuan and Lin Long were still in the sect.
Ye Qingtang had never understood this point, but now …
