119 Can You Still Keep Your Words? (1/2)

“Pfft.”

After they had walked quite far away, Yue Xinyao finally couldn’t hold back her laughter anymore.

“Senior Brother, you’re so bad, how could you use such a rogue trick to deal with Senior Brother Zhu Qin?”

Just now when she heard Wang Lu’s funny performance, Yue Xinyao truly felt an admiration from the bottom of her heart. She also understood why Senior Brother Wang Lu wanted her to come with him to find Zhu Qin.

Senior Brother Wang Lu just wanted to use her to shut Zhu Qin’s mouth. Obviously, it was a twisted logic, yet owing to her present, it rendered Zhu Qin speechless. This confusing black from white skill could really force people against their will.

“Hehe, I also want to thank Junior Sister Yue for your performance, otherwise, it would’ve been really hard for me to act bashful in front of Zhu Qin, this idiot youngster.”

Yue Xinyao once again couldn’t hold back her laughter; and then she asked, “Will this work? Senior Brother, you’ve just directly appeared like this, wouldn’t it be too risky?”

Wang Lu sighed. “What else can I do? Besides me, who else can I rely on to suppress Zhu Qin? That awakening type Wen Bao? That fatty might be able to make Zhu Qin depressed, but only if I personally come forward will Zhu Qin freeze.”

“Mm.” Yue Xinyao nodded in acknowledgment. “But, Senior Brother Zhu Qin can’t be silenced forever, he definitely won’t accept that he was played by you.”

Wang Lu smiled. “Yeah, at least, several days later after he calms down a bit, he would definitely find reasons to convince himself and then secretly send a letter to the Elders to snitch about me. However, I also just need these several days.”

Junior Sister Yue blinked her beautiful eyes as she puzzledly looked at Wang Lu.

In Yue Xinyao’s view, Wang Lu’s problem couldn’t be solved in just a few days. With more than one million followers, once the Sect’s Elders received the report and descended the mountain to personally investigate it, Wang Lu, as the main culprit behind the scene, would inevitably be exposed. When that time comes, the sect would be strict in its punishment that even the Fifth Elder absolutely couldn’t shield him.

At this time, Yue Xinyao didn’t even consider the role that she just played and just felt worried for Wang Lu.

However, Wang Lu was still full of confidence. “Rest assured, Junior Sister, since it’s the professional adventurer who handles this matter, you just need to stay still and watch things unfold.”

“Really? Very well, then I’m looking forward to Senior Brother’s performance…”

“Hehe, don’t look forward to my performance, you should instead look for our fellow disciple Wen Bao; his role in this play is vital.”

————

While Wang Lu and Yue Xinyao were dealing with Zhu Qin, Wen Bao and his two assistants were at the Mansion of Light.

“Then, besides these trivial things, is there anything Elder Wen wish to add?”

In the main hall, Li Nana was seating at the main seat. With a cup of fragrant tea in hand, she lightly took a sip; her pose was elegant, yet it was difficult to mask the combination of patient and indifferent in her look.

Sitting next to Li Nana, the already dripping-in-cold-sweat-like-the-rain Wen Bao tremblingly fished out a handkerchief from his mustard seed bag, lightly wiped his sweat, and then squeezed out a seemingly meaningful smile, without saying a word.

Although the two assistants, who sat on the right side of Wen Bao, were quite active in the past, at this time, they shrank to their own chairs motionless, making the atmosphere even colder.

The three people were distressed because this Mansion of Light’s Senior Qian Hu’s aura was just too strong. Although her cultivation stage was just Foundation Establishment, and although she was just a tall but slightly thin young woman, however, her speech and manner exuded such boldness and assertiveness that was not in the least bit lesser than men, which caused the other three men to feel ashamed of their lacking.

After wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, the smile on his face gradually stiffened. Especially since facing the face of Qian Hu that was increasingly impatient.

The day before, his Senior Brother had uttered sweet words to him, saying that the negotiation for this kind of thing wouldn’t end in just one or two days, so he could simply casually tell the opposite party the relevant bits and pieces about the Wisdom Sect… But how could it be that simple! He just said those so called bits and pieces for a few minutes, and the other side was already impatient, wanting to bypass these meaningless topics to get to the core topic.

“Who is your Sect Leader? Although you might brag that your Sect Leader is a True Immortal at your followers, but at most, he’s just a Xudan Cultivator, right?”

For the first question, Wen Bao had to sacrifice his magic weapon: a meaningful smile. However, as a response to that smile, Qian Hu put down her cup and then coldly said, “What? You can't say it? Interesting, could it be his identity couldn’t be put into the light?”

Wen Bao continued his meaningful smile.

“It is you who proposed to cooperate with the Mansion of Light, but now, you can’t even reveal the identity of your Sect Leader, how can you convince other people of your sincerity!?”

Under these harsh words and stern countenance, Wen Bao’s heart trembled; thereupon, he immediately turned his head to seek help from his assistants. Who knew the two people were even more frightened than him that even their heads were bowed down!

Fortunately, Qian Hu shook her head and changed the topic. “Let’s forget about your sect’s Sect Leader identity for a moment and let’s talk about you instead. You’re originally from the Spirit Sword Sect, right? What would be the stance of your sect on you joining the Wisdom Sect? Would they approve?”

Wen Bao heard a slight thump sound on his chest. How could he dare to say the truth? Thus, he had no choice but to continue to smile.

Qian Hu deeply wrinkled her brows. “You can’t even say this? Fine, let me ask another…”

However, even after several exchanges, the answer that she got was still the same: a meaningful smile. The problem was that this Senior Qian Hu was too sharp; each of her questions was the sect’s secret. Moreover, she has a straightforward attitude, which let other people unable to say some perfunctory words. To Wen Bao, hearing her question was like taking a cold shower—both made his face cramp.

At the same time, Qian Hu’s impatience continued to accumulate. She put down her cup and constantly tap her fingers on the armrest. After silence for a moment, she asked, “Rumor has it that your Wisdom Sect taught the Heaven Burning Blood Technique to your followers, is this true?”

Wen Bao nearly cried right there and then. However, he must maintain his smile; he has to bear it no matter how uncomfortable it was.
