Hearing Cassandra's question, Dumbledore pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and said, "When something like this happens, Wentworth should indeed be notified. However, by the time Wentworth returns, he may not be able to make it to Green's funeral."
After hearing what Dumbledore said, Cassandra couldn't help but ask curiously: "Headmaster, you have been refusing to tell us where Wentworth is. Now, can you tell us? Where did Wentworth go? He couldn't even make it back for Green's funeral!"
This time, Dumbledore finally did not hide it from Cassandra anymore, but spoke directly: "China!"
"China?!"
Dumbledore's answer surprised Cassandra, Cedric and the others, and Dumbledore continued:
"If Wentworth waits for the owl to deliver the news of Green's death before flying back, he will definitely miss Green's funeral!"
At this time, Cedric on the side couldn't help but ask:
"Principal Dumbledore, can't we use the Floo?"
At this time, before Dumbledore could answer, Cassandra said, "I know this. I heard from my father that there are no fireplaces in China that can be connected to the Floo Network."
At this time, Harry on the side suggested:
"So, what about the portkey?!"
Dumbledore shook his head slowly and explained:
"The whole of China is enveloped by a mysterious power. According to my old friend Zhang Zhiwei in China, that power is called a formation. No matter whether it is a door key or an apparition, as long as they enter China, they will all become ineffective! Unless..."
At this point, Dumbledore suddenly paused, as if he remembered something. Seeing the inquiring looks from Cedric, Cassandra and others around him, Dumbledore continued, "Unless there is an alien among the locals who is good at formations and can open a new formation to temporarily block the original formation, it will be successful!"
After hearing what Dumbledore said, everyone fell silent. After a long while, Cassandra seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Principal Dumbledore, let me go! I will personally bring this news to Wentworth!"
Dumbledore couldn't help but frown when he heard Cassandra's words. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Cassandra speak first:
"Principal Dumbledore, please prepare a Hogwarts portkey for me. I will take it with me and fly to China. After I find Wentworth, I will ask the local wizards... no, the Inhumans for help to temporarily block the original formation. Wentworth and I will use the portkey to return together!"
Originally, Dumbledore wanted to speak up to object. After all, with the resurrection of Voldemort, the whole of Britain was in danger, and there was no place safer than Hogwarts.
But after hearing what Cassandra said, Dumbledore couldn't help but hesitate, because this was indeed a faster way.
At this moment, Cassandra continued, "More importantly, when Wentworth hears the news of Green's death, I don't want him to be without someone who can accompany him!"
Cassandra's words fell, and there was a sudden silence. After a moment, Dumbledore spoke again, "Well, Cassandra, let's do as you say! There is no time to lose. Get ready, take my letter, and set off immediately!"
China, Wudang Mountain. Wentworth is walking slowly towards Wudang Mountain under the guidance of Zhang Lingyu, the youngest direct disciple of Zhang Zhiwei, the head of Longhu Mountain, who is known as Lingyu Zhenren.
In fact, in recent times, Wentworth has been traveling around China under the arrangement of Zhang Zhiwei.
Before leaving, Zhang Zhiwei asked Zhang Lingyu:
"Lingyu, do you know why your master asked you to put down your practice and go out for a walk with that boy?"
Zhang Lingyu answered directly: "I don't ask why. I just know that if the master tells me to go, I will go!"
Zhang Zhiwei seemed dissatisfied when he heard Zhang Lingyu's answer. Instead, he shook his head and said, "One of the things is that you have to be loyal to someone who has entrusted you with something. My old friend entrusted me with his most proud disciple. I can't just guarantee that he won't die! That kid has a knot in his heart. He is avoiding reality. Otherwise, with his status, how could he stay calm and enjoy the scenery here!"
"So, taking him out for a walk is also to help him get over his problems!"
"The second reason is because of you!"
Hearing Zhang Zhiwei's words, Zhang Lingyu couldn't help but feel a little confused:
"For me? Master, I don't understand!"
Zhang Zhiwei stared at Zhang Lingyu closely, and said, "Lingyu, do you know the identity of that young man?"
Zhang Lingyu nodded and said:
"Fourth Senior Brother mentioned to me that his family seems to be the most evil and unorthodox in the foreign alien circle. But, to be honest, I can't tell from him alone!"
Hearing Zhang Lingyu's words, Zhang Zhiwei laughed and said:
"Yes, I couldn't tell. Even I couldn't tell when I first met him. The day before he came to China, he had just single-handedly massacred an entire family of aliens in Japan! From that day on, there were only seven of the Eight Snake Families!"
Hearing Zhang Zhiwei's words, Zhang Lingyu couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise, and Zhang Zhiwei continued: "This is what you need to learn. It's done, it's done! He killed so many people and didn't take it seriously. You slept with a woman, so what! We in Longhu Mountain are Zhengyi Dao, not their Quanzhen!"
Zhang Lingyu, who was originally listening to Zhang Zhiwei's speech attentively, suddenly had his ears red and stammered, unable to speak.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhiwei sighed and said unhappily: "Look, look, it's like this again! If you have a chance, go ask that kid yourself if he regrets what he did that night!"
Zhang Lingyu, who was accompanying Wentworth to climb the mountain, recalled what his master had said to him before they left, and couldn't help but ask: "Wentworth, do you regret sleeping that night... No, do you regret killing so many people that night? Many of them were innocent!"
When hearing Zhang Lingyu's question, Wentworth was just picking a piece of dogtail grass. Wentworth playfully split the dogtail grass in the middle and stuck it on his mouth, like two small mustaches. Then, Wentworth slowly said, "Are they all innocent? I don't think so!"
Then, Wentworth told the story of Taketsubame Uesugi. Finally, Wentworth said slowly: "It is impossible for them not to know what Taketsubame Uesugi had gone through, but they chose to remain silent. In a sense, they are also accomplices!"
