Returning to the pavilion, Lan Ming was stopped by the guards at the gate. Although he saw this person go out, who knew if there would be any problems with this disguised appearance. Naturally, he had to be interrogated.
It was easy to go out, but it wasn't so easy to come in like this.
Someone at the side coughed. The two guards looked back and saw Steward Ban Hai, who was waiting at the side, tilting his head to signal.
The two guards immediately let him in. Lan Ming strode in, and Ban Hai who appeared from the side quickly followed …
The door opened, and the two disciples entered. When the door closed, Li Zhengfa, who was waiting in the room, quickly asked, "Keep a close eye on anyone who comes in contact with him. Did you follow him?"
The disciple in charge of watching shook his head, "There's no way to follow him anymore."
Li Zhengfa immediately asked, "Did he leave the Boundless Pavilion? Can you determine the direction and send people on flying mounts to set up ahead? "
The disciple shook his head again, "Elder, the person who came in contact with the target didn't leave, but directly entered the city mansion behind."
"What?" Li Zhengfa was stunned. He raised his hand and stroked his beard. His expression was a bit bewildered. Slowly, he said, "As expected, he is colluding with the Misty Pavilion. No wonder he dares to hide here. It seems that there is a traitor in the Boundless Pavilion's city mansion."
As he said so, the disciple immediately added, "Elder, I saw the traitor in the city mansion. It is Boundless Pavilion's Steward Ban Hai!"
Li Zhengfa's eyes widened, "Ban Hai?"
The disciple said, "Yes! I saw him when I came here before. It is indeed Ban Hai. I saw the person entering the city gate. Ban Hai personally appeared to receive him and accompanied him in. "
"What did you say?" Li Zhengfa's reaction was intense. The expression under the mask changed even more, "You said Ban Hai personally received him and accompanied him?"
The disciple nodded and said, "Yes! There's no mistake. I saw it with my own eyes. "
Li Zhengfa seemed to notice something and asked again, "Did you see Ban Hai's attitude towards that person?"
The stalking disciple said, "The two of them entered very quickly, so we couldn't observe for too long. It wasn't easy for us to get close, but we could see that Ban Hai's attitude towards that person was relatively polite, and he blindly followed behind …" As he said this, he seemed to understand something and stopped in time. His eyes were filled with bewilderment.
"Hiss …" Li Zhengfa sucked in a breath of cold air and exchanged glances with the disciple who had been guarding this place. Their eyes were also filled with bewilderment.
What was Ban Hai's identity? In the Boundless Pavilion, he was below only one person and above everyone else. To be able to let Ban Hai personally receive him was enough to attract attention, and yet he still had to be courteous and follow suit? In the Boundless Pavilion, who could make Ban Hai have such an attitude? He didn't dare to think about the identity of the person who had helped him.
The stalking disciple didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. Because he wasn't observing from this side previously, he didn't know who the two of them saw. Instead, he tried to remind them, "Elder, the contact person might be the Boundless Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Lan Ming!"
"Shut up!" Li Zhengfa suddenly shouted.
The stalking disciple was a little puzzled. He realized that his senior brother was waving his hand at him, indicating for him not to speak anymore. He immediately shut his mouth.
Meanwhile, Li Zhengfa was already pacing around anxiously. Lan Ming? What was Lan Ming's identity? He was the son of one of the Nine Saints, Lan Daolin! Just now, he only suspected that the contact person with Zhuge Chi was a traitor within the Boundless Pavilion. Now that he realized that the traitor was most likely Lan Ming, his head was about to explode.
If it couldn't be anyone, why did it have to be Lan Ming? What did this mean? It meant that Lan Ming was the one who leaked the information behind Zhuge Chi's escape from the Nine Saints. If it really was Lan Ming, it meant that Lan Ming and Zhuge Chi were in cahoots!
He realized that this matter was very troublesome. It didn't matter who it was, but now, Lan Ming might be involved. Once this matter was exposed, even if Lan Ming was taken care of, wouldn't his actions also offend Lan Daolin? Lan Daolin was not someone he could afford to offend. Not even the entire Hundred Rivers Valley combined would dare to offend him!
Having unintentionally touched upon such a horrifying conspiracy, Li Zhengfa felt a chill run down his spine. He regretted it. He regretted not listening to the Sect Leader. Why did he interfere in this matter? He was now caught in a dilemma.
This was no longer a question of whether he could stop in time.
There were too many people involved in this matter. He could not guarantee that the Misty Pavilion would not find out about this operation. He was very afraid of the consequences of exposing Lan Ming. But if he did not expose him and was found out, he would still end up badly if he did not report such a major matter.
He now deeply understood what it meant to be hard to back down from a tiger's back. A deep sense of fear welled up in his heart.
"Brush, ink, paper, and inkstone!" Li Zhengfa turned his head and called out. He would personally draft a secret letter to report to the Sect Leader and see what the Sect Leader would decide.
…
Back in his own room, Lan Ming tore off the disguise on his face, gritting his teeth.
Ban Hai approached and asked, "Pavilion Leader, is there a problem?"
Lan Ming gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Do you know who is coming? Motherf * cker, it's actually Zhuge Chi! "
"Ah!" Ban Hai was shocked, "How dare he come here? Is he tired of living?"
Lan Ming chuckled and said, "He's not just tired of living. He probably thinks that I'm tired of living too. He actually thinks that the most dangerous place is the safest place. He actually wants to stay here for a long time and even wants me to help him arrange it. This old bastard!"
Ban Hai's heart jumped, "Pavilion Leader, you must not agree to this. If the Misty Pavilion finds out, the consequences will be unthinkable!"
Lan Ming lightly slapped the table, "I am not stupid. How could I agree? But we also have no way of chasing him away! But I have already said it. You keep an eye on him. Once he leaves, report to me immediately! "
"Yes!" Ban Hai hurriedly agreed.
…
"What? Lan Ming? "
Yan Zhutian, who was standing with his hands behind his back, suddenly turned around and stared at the disciple who came to report, "How did you know it was Lan Ming?"
He didn't tell his subordinates that the person who came to meet with Zhuge Chi was Lan Ming, nor did he tell Lan Ming that he was going to meet with Zhuge Chi. How did his subordinates know it was Lan Ming?
The disciple reported, "I saw Ban Hai …" What he reported was similar to what Li Zhengfa had reported.
"…" Yan Zhutian was speechless. Niu Youdao's intention was to expose Zhuge Chi's contact with the Boundless Pavilion's people. Lan Ming would naturally be exposed, but he didn't expect it to be exposed like this. If he knew it was so easy to be exposed, he would have made other plans.
Returning to his senses, Yan Zhutian asked anxiously, "Did they find out it was Lan Ming?"
The disciple didn't know what this person was plotting, but he knew that it was definitely not a small matter. He replied, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. They are watching the situation of the target, and we are watching them. What we see here, they naturally also see. Ban Hai often appears in the trading area outside to patrol. There should be many people who have seen him! "
"Sigh!" Yan Zhutian shook his head. As expected, something had happened. He realized that Lan Ming was too careless.
However, it was understandable. Lan Ming didn't know that Zhuge Chi had already been targeted.
The reason he came personally this time was to control the situation. Niu Youdao was afraid that accidents would occur if the plan deviated, so he personally took charge to ensure that the plan didn't deviate.
He didn't expect that the plan wouldn't be able to keep up with the changes. As expected, an accident still occurred.
Lan Ming's early exposure made him realize that Li Zhengfa might not dare to report it anymore. He was especially aware of the thoughts of these large sects. This also meant that an accident had occurred in Niu Youdao's plan.
…
In the Hundred Rivers Valley Sect, the sect master Yin Ru Shu's expression changed greatly when he received Li Zhengfa's secret letter. He almost fell on his chair.
Li Zhengfa actually tracked down Zhuge Chi's whereabouts? He actually found out that Lan Ming might be colluding with Zhuge Chi?
This news caught him unprepared. It could be said that he was quite shocked. How could a large sect like them interfere with Lan Daolin's family matters?
If they interfered, it would be the same as killing Lan Daolin's son!
The expression on his face was first terrified, then incomparable hatred. He hated Li Zhengfa immensely. If this matter got out of hand, the lives of Li Zhengfa's three supervising disciples wouldn't be enough to resolve it. The entire Hundred Rivers Valley would suffer a calamity!
Bang! He couldn't help but slam the table and stand up. He had nowhere to vent his anger. He wanted nothing more than to skin Li Zhengfa alive!
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have authorized Li Zhengfa even if he was beaten to death, causing the entire Hundred Rivers Valley to be embroiled in a huge wave.
However, even though he was angry, what should he do now was a problem. What should he do? What should he do? Yin Ru Shu really didn't know how to wrap things up properly. Right now, he didn't even dare to discuss it with the other elders.
…
In the depths of the secluded courtyard of a temporarily borrowed mansion, leaves were falling under a large tree.
On a chessboard, Niu Youdao and Hai Wuji sat facing each other, playing chess back and forth.
Naturally, Niu Youdao didn't show his true face.
As they chatted, Niu Youdao suddenly teased, "I heard that Your Majesty's shaobing skills are pretty good."
Hai Wuji didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Wasn't this arranged by you guys? If I don't learn, how can I hide it? Don't tell me Mister wants to taste my skills?"
Niu Youdao chuckled. "Are you at ease selling shaobing or at ease being an emperor?"
Hai Wuji suddenly froze and fell into silence. Finally, he slowly put down a piece. "At ease? Who can be truly at ease? Can Mister? "
Niu Youdao: "It seems that Your Majesty still hasn't forgotten about your old country."
Hai Wuji: "I'm still alive, how can I forget the enmity of my country?"
At this moment, Yun Ji came over and leaned over Niu Youdao to mutter something.
Niu Youdao pinched the chess piece he was about to place back into his palm. He squinted his eyes and said, "This is really an accident within an accident. Young Master Lan is a little too arrogant. He's just an idiot. No wonder he keeps getting into trouble."
Yun Ji: "From our observations, the people from Hundred Rivers Valley don't seem to dare to act rashly. What should we do?"
Niu Youdao snorted. His gaze landed on the chessboard. "Since they're already on the chessboard, it's not up to them. Send word to them to make preparations to evacuate early. Before evacuating, make one or two people from Hundred Rivers Valley disappear. Let them know that the matter might have been exposed. Knock on the mountain and scare the tiger. Let's see if Hundred Rivers Valley still dares to hide the truth! "
He believed that with Yan Zhutian's cultivation and strength, making one or two people from Hundred Rivers Valley disappear from Endless Pavilion was not a problem at all.
