C271 (2/2)
However, the second disciple of the Cloud Sky Sect was taken away in front of everyone in the First Pin Pavilion, so the Cloud Sky Sect could no longer rely on him.
They didn't know if the Drunken Dream Pavilion would be able to accept their proclamation. The Drunken Dream Pavilion was built on a riverside, and everyone in the martial arts world had the right to speak. The fishes and dragons mixed together in Yuzhou City. Xinghe, Wangyue Restaurant, Cloud Sky Sect, and Drunken Dream Pavilion were under the rule of the three families. Bright Moon Tower followed the Tower Lord and left the martial arts world. During these years, they had always kept close to other forces. Only the Drunken Dream Pavilion would be willing to take them in.
”Quick, quickly prepare pen and ink!”
”Why did you let go of the murderer?” Dugu Qianhuan found it difficult to calm the anger in his heart. He stared at Ye Qing's back in dissatisfaction.
Luo Lingwei moved her lips, not knowing how to explain. She knew that her enemy had just left right under her nose. This feeling of being powerless was truly hard to accept.
Ye Qing paused and sighed at Dugu Qianyin's cold face.
”Killing King Lu now will only lead to trouble. He belongs to Prince Bao, but Prince Bao did not do anything back when the matter occurred. Back then, how did he hide himself deep in the mountains to avoid being hunted down? And who gave him the conditions to cripple his martial arts so that he could regain his current state? ”
Dugu Qian Huan gave a cursory reply, ”En.”
Dugu Qian Huan also knew that she had been too impulsive and that she couldn't kill him. They wanted to use him as a bait to catch the mastermind behind the scenes. That person was the culprit behind the tragedy that year, their common enemy.
As their senior brother, Cheng Jun had a good relationship with his juniors before the Devil Sect collapsed. Cheng Jun and Second Senior Mu Hanyan were similar in age, and had the best relationship with each other since they had both joined their masters at the same time. As Cheng Jun was a boy, his Master wanted him to be able to support the Devil Sect, so he became their first disciple.
Mu Hanyan was a very shrewd person, but she treated her junior brothers and sisters well. His master was usually unreliable, and his juniors were all brought up by Mu Hanyan and Shi Jun.
Eight of the Twelve Sects' Patriarchs were raised by two people, while the other four had more or less received Mu Hanyan's favor. It could be said that both Mu Hanyan and Cheng Jun had propped up half of the Devil Sect. Of course, this was also the reason why the mastermind had put in so much effort to get rid of Mu Hanyan.
Twenty years ago, when the Devil Sect went all out in their battle to send Mu Hanyan away, they thought that everything was fine. However, one day, they received news of the blade that had been used by Mu Hanyan. The Twelve Sectmaster would not believe it. Someone had personally gone to find the Lord of the Reaches to confirm it, but he had never returned.
A gentle breeze blew Dugu Qian Huan's long hair away. The reason why they had abandoned their relationship for so many years to kill their Senior Sister was only because of the Devil Sect's most precious Profound Spirit Token. She didn't believe it, and neither did the Devil Sect. But after knowing that the Devil Sect had been destroyed, they realized that this was the truth.
”Maybe the truth isn't what you think?” Luo Lingwei pursed her lips. He had always felt that Cheng Jun had some feelings for Mu Hanyan and her, and just now, he had come into contact with her and felt that she was not a despicable person.
He didn't know Lushan and only knew his place.
'Maybe … '
System: ”Host, don't forget that the hidden quest hasn't been completed yet.”
Luo Lingwei patted her head. She really had forgotten. She thought that after teasing Ye Feian, everything would be fine. She never imagined that the system had not yet completed its mission. The Hidden Quest was indeed not that simple.
It seemed that he would have to pay a visit to Gu Yingshan.
Thinking of this, Luo Lingwei asked the System: ”Can you locate Ye Feian's location?”
The System replied in a mechanical voice, ”Not yet.”
Luo Lingwei had no choice but to ask Dugu Qian Huan, ”Can you follow Ye Feian?”
She suspected that Cheng Jun and Ye Feian would take action soon.
Dugu Qianyin's foot lightly tapped the ground and disappeared from the spot.
