Chapter 8369 The truth
Inside the Golden Cicada Palace.
Water pavilions.
Two men in black stood on the stone bridge. The reflection of a nearby lantern swayed with the ripples of the water on the lake.
The man in black in front had his back turned, waiting for the answer from the man behind him.
In his opinion, it is already a sign of incompetence to manage a small business for several years without fully managing it.
"It's not that I'm not careful, it's just that this sect's Golden Cicada Technique is not in line with my physique. After I started practicing, my internal organs were injured. Over the years, I spent all my energy on suppressing the injury. Not only did I not make any progress in my cultivation, I also suffered from physical torture."
The man in black behind sighed.
"Why didn't you report it earlier?"
"If people knew that something went wrong not long after I entered the Golden Chan Palace, what would the people in the sect think of me?"
The man in black behind raised his head and said.
"Xinyuehu, I understand that you don't tell others, but why do you have to hide it from me?" the man in black said calmly.
"I thought, I can't cause trouble to you adults." Xinyuehu lowered his head and said.
"Confused, don't hide from me in the future. If you have anything, report it immediately. Don't worry about what the people in the sect will say. I, Qinglong, am the great elder, second only to the Holy Lord in the sect. In addition to being responsible for the Holy Lord,
There is no need to be afraid of anyone else." The man in black said in front.
"Yes!" Xinyuehu cheered up and said.
"Okay, that's all for today. You go back first. I'll go to Linze City to do some work. After I'm done, I'll come back to help you take a look at the injuries inside your body." Qinglong raised his hand and said.
"What are you going to do, sir? Do you want me to help?" Xinyuehu asked.
"It's not necessary this time. I will go to the Yang's Trading Company branch in Linze City to see what kind of person Luo Xingchen is."
Qinglong's tone was filled with disdain and ridicule.
…
By the time everyone on the bridge was gone, everyone had already left.
Only then did Zhan Jingbai, Kou Zhu and Gui Haosi walk out of the dark corner.
At this moment, all the luck in their hearts was gone.
"Master" is really no longer the master he used to be.
Listen to their conversation.
That "master" is Xinyue Fox, and the man talking to her is Qinglong.
Zhan Jingbai and the other three quickly moved forward in silence.
Everyone's heart was heavy, as if they had a lot to say but couldn't say a word.
Waiting until they entered the stone bridge of the waterside pavilion, Zhan Jingbai said in a low voice: "The key is on the back of the bridge."
Her voice was already a little hoarse, and her eyes were slightly red.
She had already guessed that something might have happened to her master.
But after all, it has not been confirmed yet, and this confirmation completely shattered her luck.
Kou Zhu also twitched his nose.
"Senior sister, you go get the key, and we will keep a lookout for you."
"good."
Zhan Jingbai spoke concisely and concisely.
She took out a paw and grabbed one end of the stone bridge's railing. Then, she grabbed the other end of the rope and quickly left the bridge. She turned over and clasped her fingers on the gap, letting her body stick to the back of the bridge.
This skill is not something that ordinary people can achieve. Only a warrior with high strength and profound martial arts like her can achieve spider-like movements.
After Zhan Jingbai fixed his body, he quickly scanned the back of the bridge.
Her eyesight was so good that even at night she could see the back of the bridge clearly with only the light of lanterns reflected on the water.
She found a certain mechanism, tapped with her fingers, and soon a gap opened in a hidden compartment.
She put her fingers in and groped for a while.
He took out a key and quickly stuffed it into his bag.
"Senior sister, have you found it?"
Kou Zhu sat on it and asked softly.
"Okay, I got it."
Zhan Jingbai raised his hand to close the hidden grid again.
This mechanism is not complicated, but hidden here, it feels a bit dark under the lamp. Therefore, as long as you are not an insider, it will not be easy to find it.
"Let's go."
Zhan Jingbai returned to the bridge, retracted his flying claws, and whispered.
They left the sect very smoothly, but the journey was dull.
It wasn't until he was some distance away from the sect and confirmed that no one had noticed that Zhan Jingbai discovered that both Kou Zhu and Gui Haosi had tears streaming down their faces.
"Master is gone."
Kou Zhugen swallowed and said.
She joined the sect at a very young age, and her master was almost like her mother in her heart.
Although Gui Haosi entered the profession a little late, he always kept in mind the teachings his master gave him.
"Whether Master is still alive or not, we disciples must keep our spirits up."
"We still have a lot to do."
"Let's contact Senior Sister Yu and expose the true face of the false master." Zhan Jingbai cheered them up.
"Senior sister, I know their identities." Kou Zhu said.
"What identity?"
Both Zhan Jingbai and Gui Haosi looked at Kou Zhu.
"I heard that the Persian religion has four envoys, namely Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu. They have twenty-eight stars under their command. The Qinglong may be the Qinglong envoy of the Persian religion, and the false master should be Xinyue under Qinglong.
Fox." Kou Zhu said.
Among the three, Kou Zhu has read the most miscellaneous books, and she knows a lot about the world.
As for Zhan Jingbai and Gui Haosi, they usually focus on practicing martial arts, and they don't know much about many Jianghu affairs.
"I see."
"Since they are indeed members of the Persian religion, we should rush to Linze City as soon as possible without further delay."
Zhan Jingbai estimated that what the three of them had done might not be discovered until tomorrow.
In this case, let's leave early without wasting time.
…
Luo Xingchen and others were resting when suddenly, a figure flew over from a distance.
Mo Anbai fell in front of everyone.
"How is the situation?" Luo Xingchen asked.
"Some situations have been discovered."
Later, Mo Anbai explained clearly from beginning to end what happened to him after sneaking into the Golden Chan Palace.
After saying that, everyone discovered that the fish leaning against the big tree was blue, and his eyes were filled with tears.
"It turns out that over the years, that person has long been no longer the master he was before. No wonder..."
The mystery in Yu Youlan's heart disappeared.
The master regards her as his own daughter, and Jiraitu treats her very well, so why would he issue a killing order to her!
"Your junior brothers and sisters want to go to Linze City to find you. How should we treat them now? It's up to you to make up your mind."
Luo Xingchen looked at Yu Youlan and said.
"Okay, I'll go see them."
The fish nodded again.
This is her responsibility and she cannot avoid it.
Moreover, she also missed her junior brothers and sisters very much.
Before, she didn't dare to meet them, not only because she was worried about harming them, but also because she had a trace of distrust in her heart.
Wei Lin, who thought he would not betray her, ended up betraying her anyway.
