Whose letter? How could Shao Pingbo not know that Shao Sansheng had already made it very clear that it was from Jia Wuqun?
Even an idiot could tell that it was a warning, and there was no need for Jia Wuqun to remind him.
As for what it meant, Shao Tianze knew at a glance. Jia Wuqun had come up with the words' a little punishment 'out of nowhere. What else could it be? It had to be Zhuge Chi's matter, and Shao Tianze was secretly trying to sabotage him.
After a moment of silence, Shao Tianze asked, "Did you just say that someone leaked the information and got rid of Zhuge Chi?"
Lan Ming replied with a 'hmm' and was suddenly stunned. Shao Tianze's answer made him realize something. He shook the secret letter in his hand and asked, "Do you mean that it has something to do with this? The letter was sent by the people who were with us? "
Shao Pingbo nodded slightly. "The other party's indifferent attitude did not make us angry at all. Since Zhuge Chi has escaped, it means that the other party has already succeeded. Our involvement did not affect their plans. From another perspective, the other party has other people who were watching Zhuge Chi, not just us. "
Lan Ming was silent for a moment and said, "In other words, the other party had more than one way to get the information. Because we did not provide any information, they got the information through another way and succeeded …"
He seemed to have understood something as he looked down at the words on the secret letter. He instantly understood what 'a little punishment' meant.
This was not just a warning to Shao Pingbo. It was obviously a warning to him as well. The so-called 'a little punishment' was referring to the arrest of his people.
At this point, how could he not understand the meaning of the letter? Shao Tianze was not being honest and had been seen through by the other party. Hence, he taught Shao Pingbo a lesson and got rid of the people he sent.
It was precisely because he understood that Lan Ming became angry again. The person he had gotten rid of was his own people. It was not that easy to develop reliable people. He grabbed Shao Pingbo's collar again. "You idiot. You don't even know the depth of the other party, and you dare to let me do this so easily. What do you take me for? Are you trying to kill me?"
Shao Pingbo realized that Shao Tianze was a little impatient. "Sir, it's not a big deal. It's all in the past."
Lan Ming was indeed a little impatient. Recently, he had suffered a series of losses. He felt that he had fallen into an inexplicable net and was at the mercy of others. This feeling made him a little confused, and the self-restraint of the son of the Lord was gone.
It couldn't be helped. Every single one of his actions and actions could cost him his life if he made a mistake.
"Passed?" Lan Ming gave him a shove and pointed at his nose. "I'm telling you, don't look for me for such trivial matters next time!"
Shao Pingbo stared at him and nodded. "Don't worry, Sir. I learn from my mistakes. I'll be more careful next time."
"There will be no next time!" Lan Ming flatly refused and stepped forward to ask, "Tell me honestly, who are the other group of people in this group?"
Shao Pingbo: "I'm not sure either."
Hearing the other party's words, Zhang Xuan knew that Jia Wuqun had kept to his promise of cooperation.
Of course, Jia Wuqun also hoped that the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
If that was the case, how could he tell Lan Ming the true identity of the other group of people? If Lan Ming found out about Jia Wuqun's identity and realized that Jia Wuqun's group was more powerful than his own, Lan Ming would most likely ignore him and contact Jia Wuqun directly.
This was not the result that he wanted to see.
Lan Ming blurted out, "Nonsense! If you don't know their identity, how can you cooperate with them? "
He looked like he would not give up until he found out the other party's identity.
Shao Pingbo calmly said, "The people from the Cloud Ware Sect have arranged to meet, and they will be here soon. My place is also under the surveillance of the Black Water Platform. Sir, you have come with the same identity twice. I'm afraid that the Cloud Ware Sect will look for you. Let's contact each other later. "
Lan Ming was furious and pointed at him. "Shao Pingbo, listen to me. I'm going to say it again. If anything happens to me, don't even think about running away!"
Shao Pingbo: "We are all on the same boat. No one can run away. Sir, you can rest assured."
"It's good that you know!" Lan Ming reached out and slapped Shao Pingbo's face twice. Then, with a cold snort, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Shao Pingbo stood silently in place.
After a while, Shao Sansheng came in after seeing off the guest. He approached and asked in a low voice, "Young Master, what did Jia Wuqun's message mean?"
Shao Pingbo calmly said, "We are not the only ones targeting Zhuge Chi. Our delay in reporting the news meant nothing to Jia Wuqun. He still succeeded."
Shao Sansheng was slightly shocked. "If he could get the news in time, doesn't that mean he knew that we were hiding the news?"
Shao Pingbo turned around and sat down behind the table. He placed the secret letter on the table. "That's why there's this warning letter. That's why he crippled the people Lan Ming sent. The people Lan Ming sent have already been captured by the Misty Pavilion."
Shao Sansheng was shocked. "They have been captured. Won't they be exposed and implicate Young Master?"
Shao Pingbo shook his head. "Lan Ming was silenced in time. I won't be implicated. Since they dared to do this and allowed Lan Ming's people to be captured by the Misty Pavilion, they must have made arrangements against Lan Ming. If they didn't silence Lan Ming, they would have let Lan Ming escape. They wouldn't have let Lan Ming fall into the hands of the Misty Pavilion. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to escape either. "
Hearing that everything was fine, Shao Sansheng relaxed. He frowned and said, "Since they have information channels, why did they let us act?"
Slowly, Shao Pingbo said, "We know too little about Jia Wuqun's side. Jia Wuqun has always been too low-key. We don't know much about Jia Wuqun himself, so we can't analyze his intentions. I don't know if he's using us to ensure that he has more information, or if he's trying to cover up the other group.
"However, there's one thing we can be sure of. He knew that I would steal, so he must have made preparations in advance. Otherwise, the Misty Pavilion wouldn't have acted rashly, and they wouldn't have been able to capture Lan Ming's people.
"In other words, he knew what I would do from the start, and was prepared to beat me down!"
"Sigh!" Shao Sansheng sighed. Suddenly, he moved closer to the table and said in a low voice, "Eldest Young Master, doesn't that mean that they have a Nascent Soul cultivator in their hands?"
Shao Pingbo said, "That's normal. Wasn't that their plan from the start? That's not what I'm worried about right now. What I'm really worried about is that I can't figure out the depth of the other party's strength, while the other party knows me like the back of his hand. Every step I take seems to be under the other party's control. This Jia Wuqun is simply … unfathomable! To be able to do as he pleases in the Jin Nation's imperial court, to have deep roots in the cultivation world, and even dare to snatch people from under the nose of the Nine Sages. For so many years, everyone only knows the name 'Minister Concealment', but no one has ever taken him seriously. The depth of his concealment is enough to make one's hair stand on end. This person is far more terrifying than Niu Youdao! "
Shao Sansheng's face was filled with worry. "What should we do? Why do I feel like I'm asking a tiger for its skin? "
Shao Pingbo slowly leaned against the back of the chair. "Everything has its pros and cons. From a certain point of view, it's not necessarily a bad thing that he has such a powerful ability. If an ordinary person were to do something like this, they would get us killed. Perhaps he really does have the ability to compete with the Nine Sages. If he really succeeds, it's not impossible to borrow his strength. "
…
In the Seven Nations, the war in the west was still in a stalemate. The longer the situation dragged on, the more disadvantageous it was for the Qi Nation and the Qin Nation. First, it was the hearts of the nobles who wanted to protect themselves.
The atmosphere in the cultivation world suddenly became tense. Because the Misty Pavilion's movements were too big, most of the people in the cultivation world did not know what was going on. The Misty Pavilion would occasionally call in people from various sects to help investigate something.
The people in the Misty Pavilion felt it even more strongly. Faced with the missing clues, Huo Kong tried his best to continue. He was currently investigating the positions of the people in the Misty Pavilion during the time of the incident. All suspicious people were arrested, interrogated, and confirmed.
As for the people who went missing during this period, their relationships were also investigated.
In a secret room in the South State, Niu Youdao read the message from Sha Rulai. The content of the message was that Zhuge Chi's incident had exposed a huge problem in the Misty Pavilion. The Nine Sages were really angry. They had already pressured all the inspectors who were involved in the Misty Pavilion. If they could not produce results in half a year, they would all be killed!
Throwing the message on the table, Niu Youdao laughed. "Huo Kong, the head of the Misty Pavilion, is probably having a headache now."
Yun Ji said, "If they can't produce results in half a year, all the inspectors will be killed. Will it involve people related to you?"
Niu Youdao said, "If they are my people, I will naturally protect them. Don't worry, they will have something to report. Didn't Lan Ming already prepare it for them?"
Yun Ji was stunned. "You want to sell Lan Ming?"
Niu Youdao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. "Even if we sell him, we have to be careful. Otherwise, we will be digging our own graves. How can I let him fall into the hands of the Misty Pavilion? Lan Ming is not worth mentioning. Without his identity and background, he is nothing. Lan Ming's true value lies in the spies he has been managing all these years. So, it is not important whether he is in the Boundless Pavilion or not.
"Zhuge Chi's incident is not small. He has touched the Nine Sages' reverse scale. From the moment they interfered with Zhuge Chi's matter, you should be able to imagine how big the commotion will be. Look, it has already begun."
…
In the Limitless Garden, Ye Nian, who was temporarily representing the Voidless Holy Ground, paced back and forth under the eaves. He was very worried, thinking about his disciple, Ao Feng.
The holidays had long passed, but Ao Feng had not returned. He was the one who approved the leave, but now he was missing. He could not be found anywhere outside. He did not know what had happened. The Voidless Holy Ground was already asking him about this matter.
How would he know what had happened? He could not explain it.
At this moment, a member of the Voidless Holy Ground flashed over. He hurried to him and said, "Deacon, something happened."
Ye Nian turned around and asked, "What happened?"
The person replied, "The Limitless Fruit Tree has bloomed!"
Ye Nian's eyes instantly widened. His face was filled with disbelief. "What did you say?"
Anyone in the know would know, especially those who often stayed in the Limitless Garden, that as long as the fruit was still there, the Limitless Fruit Tree would not bloom. Only when the fruit was plucked would the flower bloom. What did this suddenly bloom mean?
