Chapter 163 I'm Pretending



A whole day passed.

Wan Zhuliu slowly woke up in the provincial capital.

The first person he saw was none other than Wang Wenyun, the governor of Luozhou, whose eyes were bloodshot.

"woke up!!"

"Uh, Lord Wang..." He made a gesture to stand up.

But Wang Wenyun stopped him, "No need, you're seriously injured, just lie down and answer!"

"Yes, sir!" Wan Zhuliu still looked weak.

"What's going on? Isn't Xia Shi a master under your command?"

When Wan Zhuliu heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes and his face was filled with anger.

"Sir, this is what happened..."

Then, he added fuel to the fire and told the other party the words he had prepared in advance. Most of them were true, including the pursuit of people from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, etc., but there were some lies mixed in with the truth, and after being slightly trimmed and spoken out, the meaning immediately changed.

Especially when it was mentioned that Xia Shinai was a master of returning to the void, killed Wang Taihe, and took away a tooth of Nibingya, Wang Wenyun became furious.

“How can this be possible!!”

"Sir, it's all my fault for not judging people well. I never thought that Xia Shi was hiding his strength, hiding beside me at the Return to Void Realm, and going on a killing spree in the state capital!"

Seeing this, Wan Zhuliu immediately looked ashamed.

Upon hearing this, Wang Wenyun's brows furrowed, his face was filled with worry, and he said nothing.

After a moment's silence, he said, "You're injured. What about the case in Heishui County? The Martial Temple sends urgent messages every few days, and the state government really has no one available!"

"You old fox! You're still not quiet even after being injured."

Wan Zhuliu frowned secretly, "Sir, I am recovering from my injuries on the way. Let's set off tomorrow. We are going to investigate a case, not to fight with anyone. The injury is not a big deal!"

"That's right! I'll order the doctor in the prefecture to make some medicine for you. Take it with you. Drive slowly on the road. As soon as we set off, I'll report to the higher-ups." Wang Wenyun replied immediately.

"Okay, I'll have someone take you back home first!"

"Yes, sir!"

Soon, someone brought a recliner frame and helped Wan Zhuliu onto it.

After he left, Wang Wenyun walked into the back hall in three or two steps.

The three old men who appeared last night are all here now.

Wang Wenyun stepped inside. "How is it? Is he lying?"

The three old men looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, he shook his head.

"That shouldn't be the case. This injury can't be faked. Besides, he's in the state of concentration. No matter what, there's no way he can hurt your brother!"

"The most urgent task is to quickly capture Xia Shi. The grand ceremony is about to begin. The priest who will preside over the grand ceremony at the Martial Temple will arrive in Luozhou in half a month. Now that the Ni Bing Ya has lost a tooth, it's going to be a big problem!"

Wang Wenyun's face looked so gloomy that it seemed as if water might drip out of it.

"Everyone, we four hidden families are all of the same blood and are one. If anything goes wrong with the grand ceremony, the Martial Temple will not only blame our Wang family, but even the Nibingya may change hands! Let's all contribute!"

The three of them remained silent.

After a while.

Then one of them said, "You, the Wang family, have to figure out a way to deal with this! We can help put pressure on the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. If this Xia Shizhen is connected to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, perhaps there will be a chance for a turnaround!"

"The Ten Thousand Poison Sect is a bunch of reptiles!!"

Wang Wenyun shouted angrily in a low voice.

A gloomy and murderous gleam flashed in his eyes. "Over the years, we have indulged them too much, raising beast ghosts in captivity and causing trouble everywhere. This time, they actually dared to plot against our four families!"

"Don't say that!"

The man who spoke was a short old man with a bald head and a long beard.

"We've been doing some work for the Ten Thousand Poison Sect over the years. Weren't the materials provided for every grand sacrifice? Furthermore, they helped your state government clean up the mess, taking all the blame. You came here to be good people, but now you're saying these rude words, isn't that too hurtful?"

"I'm not going to hurt his fucking head!" Wang Wenyun was furious at this moment. "Brother Zheng, if you have a way out, you would definitely say that, but what about us? If our three families don't have the support of the Martial Temple, within twenty years, there will be no Fanxu in charge!"

"Wen Yun, don't argue with Old Zheng. This time, we must deal with the grand sacrifice first. Your Wang family is the main sacrifice this time. It is your turn to be the leader of the rebel troops for the next ten years. Now that Wang Taihe is in trouble, you should quickly choose someone who can take charge!" Another old man who looked elegant and otherworldly spoke lightly to stop the two from arguing.

——

"What happened to the eldest master?!"

Wan Zhuliu was carried back to the Wan Mansion, and the Wan family was in chaos.

Even Mr. Wan, who was outside buying wedding supplies, was hurriedly carried back.

Wan Zhuliu's face was pale, he lay on the bed with his eyes slightly closed.

"It's okay, just a little injured, everyone, get out!"

"Zhuliu, what's going on? You're the deputy warden of the prison. Why do you have to fight for everything yourself? I, an old man, can't stand being scared!"

"No big deal!"

Wan Zhuliu waved his hand in displeasure, "Everyone, except the old man and Lingling, get out!"

When he spoke again, everyone did not dare to delay and retreated one after another.

After sensing that there was no other breath outside the courtyard, Wan Zhuliu's true energy surged, and the injuries that he had suppressed began to recover rapidly. In just a few breaths, his face became rosy again.

After what happened before, he knew that his home was not safe either.

So after everyone had left, leaving only the trustworthy Mo Lingling and Mr. Wan, he revealed his true aura.

The old man was also shocked to see him sitting up from the bed unharmed.

"you--"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Wan Zhuliu signaled him to lower his voice, then released his true energy, isolating the entire room.
