"Boundless Pavilion? Dares to hide in the Boundless Pavilion? " Du Wuxu was a little surprised. He took the letter and read it himself. As he read, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and a name escaped his mouth. "Lan Ming?"
Si Shaodong sighed in his heart. He did not know if it was true or not, but since the Hundred Rivers Valley dared to report it like this, it must be true.
He did not know what to say about Lan Ming. Everyone knew who the nine saints were targeting when they reorganized the Misty Pavilion. They could not be targeting the people at the bottom, right? With Lan Ming's incident, the nine saints would suspect people of their level even more and want to target them even more.
Lan Ming was already at such a position, yet he still did not behave. Why did he have to do this?
But it was understandable. It was precisely because of this position that he had no other pursuits that he wanted to pursue longevity. Who would be willing to die of old age?
Even if he did not have such thoughts under fear, the nine saints would still suspect him. This hidden contradiction seemed to be unsolvable.
As he read, Li Zhengfa reported that they had already retreated. Du Wuxu's eyes widened, anger rising on his face. "If they were not there to watch, they would not even know they ran away. Who told them to retreat?"
Si Shaodong said carefully, "Master, this is understandable. A disciple disappeared from the Sky Lake Inn for no reason. Someone who knew the situation would definitely be worried that Lan Ming would find out. That is Lan Ming's territory. It is reasonable for them to evacuate. Otherwise, Lan Ming could easily kill them. By then, the news might not even get out. "
He was not speaking for the Hundred Rivers Valley. He was just stating a rational fact.
Du Wuxu snorted coldly. Putting this matter aside for the time being, he swung his hand and returned the letter. "Immediately make seven copies and send them to the seven people apart from Lan Daolin. Before they meet, I'll go to the Boundless Pavilion first and see if I can catch Zhuge Chi!"
"Yes!" Si Shaodong cupped his hands and accepted the order.
Whoosh! Du Wuxu's body flashed and he was already gone.
"Something happened again. Sigh!" Si Shaodong sighed helplessly as he watched him leave. He felt that the situation was getting out of control. Things were happening everywhere in the Misty Pavilion.
…
In the Hundred River Valley Sect, the Sect Leader Yin Ru Shu and the other elders had all gathered at the secluded cultivation place of the Great Elders in the back mountain. Their faces were dark.
Yin Ru Shu reported this matter to everyone.
After receiving Li Zhengfa's letter and learning that Li Zhengfa had no choice but to expose Lan Ming's matter due to an unexpected situation, Yin Ru Shu did not dare to hide it anymore. Otherwise, if things got out of hand, he would not be able to explain it to the sect as the sect leader.
The group of people had already fiercely cursed Li Zhengfa. Cursing was cursing, but after cursing, they still had to face reality.
Some people blamed the Sect Leader for hiding it from them, but they could understand. How could Yin Ru Shu reveal it in the past?
Now, the group of people were at a loss of what to do. They were all terrified and could only wait for the result to arrive. They didn't know if it would be a blessing or a curse.
…
Lan Ming had arrived in Jinjing.
Lan Ming did not dare to show his face. After carefully observing and making sure that he was there, he hesitated for a long time before he went to the door.
After changing his appearance, Shao Sansheng still brought him to Shao Pingbo's study room.
The two old acquaintances met in the study room. Shao Pingbo smiled and cupped his hands in greeting. "Sir, please forgive me for not going out to welcome you."
Lan Ming glanced at him and ignored him. He walked to the back of the table and sat down on Shao Pingbo's seat. He reached out to grab the document on the table that had not yet dried. He looked at it and threw it back. Then, he picked up the tip of the brush from the brush holder and looked at it.
Shao Pingbo did not understand what his attitude meant. He walked to the table and asked, "Sir, do you have any orders for me?"
Clatter! Lan Ming casually tossed the brush in his hand onto the table. The ink on the tip of the brush stained the table. He leaned against the back of the chair and casually said, "I came here this time to seek refuge with you. Arrange a safe hiding place for me."
"Seek shelter from me?" Shao Pingbo was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled and said, "Sir, you must be joking. If you have something to say, just say it. I'm all ears. "
Lan Ming said slowly, "My contact with Zhuge Chi has been exposed. I can't stay in the Boundless Pavilion anymore. I don't know if it's safe to go somewhere else, so I came to you first. This is also Zhuge Chi's intention."
"Exposed? Contact with Zhuge Chi? What Zhuge Chi's intention? "Shao Pingbo was puzzled. He asked," Sir, why don't I understand what you're saying? "
Lan Ming said, "Am I not clear enough? You're not that stupid, are you? "
Shao Pingbo waved his hand and explained, "I don't understand what you mean. What's going on?"
What's going on? Lan Ming gritted his teeth as he thought about it. "Zhuge Chi, that old bastard, didn't even know that he was being watched. He actually took the initiative to find me …" He explained the whole story in detail.
Shao Pingbo's eyes widened as he listened. When he finished, his expression changed and he panicked. "Then why aren't you hiding? How dare you come to me?"
Lan Ming raised his eyebrows. "Why? You used to beg me to come. Now, you want to chase me away or burn the bridge after crossing it? "
Bang! He slammed the table and stood up. He walked around the table and grabbed Shao Pingbo's collar. "If it wasn't for your good deed that exposed me to that group of people, would I end up like this? Let me tell you, if something happens to me, you won't be able to escape either! "
Shao Pingbo struggled for a moment. He tried to pull Lan Ming's hand away, but he couldn't do so. He could only let Lan Ming grab him. He said with an ugly expression, "Don't misunderstand. That's not what I meant. Are you sure you weren't followed? In a situation where you can't confirm it, if you run to me, no one will be able to escape! "
"Hmph!" Lan Ming let go of him with a cold snort. He paced around the study with his hands behind his back. "Don't worry about that. I only dared to come here after confirming it."
Shao Pingbo asked, "Does anyone else know about our previous contact?"
Lan Ming said, "Although I have some subordinates, they basically don't know about our contact. Even if they do know, they're all in the same boat with me. They can't wait to keep it a secret. No one dares to talk about it."
Hearing this, Shao Pingbo felt a little relieved. Ignoring the creases on his chest, he slowly walked to the back of the table and sat down on the seat that Lan Minggang had sat on. He frowned and thought for a while. After thinking for a while, he suddenly slammed his palm on the table and said with a hateful look, "We've been tricked!"
Lan Ming, who was pacing, was stunned. He walked to the front of the table and the two of them switched places. He asked, "What do you mean?"
Shao Pingbo gritted his teeth. "We've been tricked by another group of people. Zhuge Chi deliberately exposed us!"
Lan Ming placed his hands on the table and leaned forward. "Another group of people? You mean the one Zhuge Chi is on now? "
Shao Pingbo said, "Who else can order Zhuge Chi around other than them?"
Lan Ming pondered for a moment and shook his head. "I'm afraid you've misunderstood."
Shao Pingbo was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Lan Ming said, "I've captured a disciple of the Hundred Rivers Valley and interrogated him to reveal the truth. It should have nothing to do with Zhuge Chi."
Shao Pingbo did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Great Pavilion Leader Lan, can you use your brain? Zhuge Chi ran to you to seek protection. How is that possible? It was them who poached Zhuge Chi over first. How could they send him back to you? Do you think that's possible?
"If they really wanted to do something, they would have plenty of ways to find Zhuge Chi. As long as they had the intention to expose him, would it be difficult?"
Shao Pingbo really didn't know how this guy managed to survive until now. If it wasn't for Lan Daolin's protection, he would have been killed long ago. How dare he cause trouble in the Misty Pavilion with this kind of person? Just thinking about it made Shao Pingbo feel a little scared.
Lan Ming, who was resting his hands on the table, was stunned for a moment. Then, he suddenly realized what was going on. He bared his teeth, his face contorted, and he lost control of his emotions. "You dog! How dare you set me up!"
Shao Pingbo looked out the window and raised his hand to signal him to be quiet. "Be gentle."
Lan Ming also looked out the window and said in a low voice, "Who are those people? Tell me!"
At this point, Lan Ming was already in his hands. Shao Pingbo did not want to tell him. He found an excuse instead. "You are in a fit of anger. If you really go, you will die. I am not telling you now for your own good. Calm down first. Once you have calmed down, we can talk about it. "
"Don't worry, I know what I am doing. Who is it?"
Shao Pingbo waved his hand. "Calm down first. The most important thing for you now is to find a place to hide. Give me some time to think about it and make some arrangements to hide you. "
Lan Ming said angrily, "I want to know who set me up!"
Shao Pingbo suddenly stood up. "Are you crazy? Don't you know what situation you are in now? The Nine Sages, including your father, are going to turn the world upside down looking for you. I have eyes and ears everywhere. If you stay here too long, you should know what will happen if you cause any suspicion! Leave first. I will contact you as soon as possible. "
Hearing this, Lan Ming became a little nervous. He did not dare to stay any longer. However, he still threw out a sentence. "I will not let them go!" Then he flung his sleeves and left.
After watching him disappear out the door, Shao Pingbo blurted out, "Idiot!"
After a while, Shao Sansheng came in and said, "He has left. Young Master, why did he come? "
"Something big happened. Lan Ming's martial arts was half crippled. He has become a stray dog. We have been played …" Shao Pingbo roughly explained the situation.
Shao Sansheng was surprised. "What does Jia Wuzi want?"
"This person's methods are unfathomable. I also want to know what he wants to do. He threw such a hot treasure to me. I don't believe that he will be fine if something happens to me!" Shao Pingbo was a little angry.
After that, he immediately ordered Shao Sansheng to send a message to Jia Wuqun. He wanted to know what Jia Wuqun wanted. Was there no end to it?
He wanted to see Jia Wuqun's reply. After confirming it, he could make arrangements for Lan Ming. Otherwise, he would be played to death without even knowing what was going on.
To be honest, he had suffered losses at Jia Wuqun's hands. Jia Wuqun did whatever he wanted without even saying a word. It was as if he was nothing. Moreover, he did not know what was going on behind the scenes and could not make any judgments. He was really a little afraid of Jia Wuqun.
