Chapter 151 Lost Contact

Lin Bufan was quite satisfied with his days in Jiushan Sect.

There is no fighting or hiding, and I can eat cheap yellow sprout rice. Life is much more comfortable than before.

Early in the morning, he walked out of Zheng Fa's original courtyard and headed into the valley.

His newly adopted son Zheng Fa now lives in Senior Sister Zhang's house.

But Lin Bufan was born into a demon sect after all, and living in Senior Sister Zhang's house would easily attract gossip, so he was placed in this courtyard by Zheng Fa.

He also thought it was good and it would be more comfortable to live alone in a yard.

While walking on the road, he also ran into the patrolling disciples who had chased him before. They looked at him in a rather strange way - vaguely defensive, but not without fear.

It is right to be on guard.

He used to be a member of the Great Freedom Demon Sect.

But fear...

Lin Bufan couldn't help but look in the direction of Senior Sister Zhang's yard. It was probably all because of his new master.

The longer he lived in Jiushan Sect, the more he understood the influence of the name Zheng Fa in the sect.

Speaking of which, he really had found a powerful figure. At least no one in Jiushan Sect dared to bully him openly.

This was enough for him - as a prisoner, having surrendered his soul seal, with his life and death not in his own hands, what else could he expect?

Lin Bufan's most extravagant dream now is to live a good life, practice hard, and avenge his uncle when he has the chance.

As for other things.

Since my uncle died.

He also realized that Jiushan Sect was not a paradise.

Lin Bufan felt that he didn't need to expect too much.

Especially for Zheng Fa...

When Lin Bufan arrived at Senior Sister Zhang's house, Zheng Fa was in Senior Sister Zhang's study, drawing on paper.

There is also a small shallow round plate on the table.

There was blood on the plate.

Zheng Fa's eyes flashed with silver light as he immersed himself in the plate of blood.

Lin Bufan felt a little complicated.

After all, the blood in this plate is all my own...

This is also the reason why he felt that he should not expect more from Zheng Fa - this man is more like a disciple of the Demon Sect than himself.

Lin Bufan stood silently in the corner of the study, not saying a word.

After a long time, Zheng Fa slowly raised his head, looked at Lin Bufan, nodded and said: "Are you here? You were recovering from your injuries before, so I didn't have time to ask you. What is the situation with the Great Freedom Demon Sect?"

Lin Bufan was silent for a while before he said, "Actually, I can't explain it clearly."

"Um?"

"I have lived in the village since I was a child. Everyone in the village has the surname Lin..." Lin Bufan did not intend to hide it. After all, he had already joined Zheng Fa, and there was no benefit in hiding it. "At that time, I didn't even know what the Great Freedom Demon Sect was."

"You came to the Great Freedom Demon Sect later?"

"Yes, after I established my foundation, someone came to the village and took me and my uncle to work for the young master...Lin Yangtian. That's when I knew we had such a reputation in the Xuanwei Realm."

Zheng Fa nodded.

"So, you don't know where you grew up?"

"Yes, I was unconscious when I came out. Later I heard that the place where I grew up was a secret place of our clan."

"...What about the strength of the Great Freedom Demon Cult?"

Lin Bufan shook his head again and said, "My cultivation is too low, so it's hard for me to understand the truth of the sect. I haven't even been to the real Great Freedom Demon Sect. But Lin Yangtian once said that only when you reach the Golden Core Stage can you be considered a formal disciple of the Holy Sect."

Zheng Fa nodded, with some speculation in his tone: "So what kind of skills are you practicing?"

"My major is the 'Xuanming Gong', which is a water-based martial arts technique." Lin Bufan explained: "In addition, we also need to practice the 'Zizai Jing', a secret sect teaching."

When Zheng Fa heard this, he looked at the talisman paper covered with talismans and said, "So, the Freedom Sutra is the fundamental practice of the Great Freedom Demon Sect?"

"Yes." Lin Bufan nodded and said, "It is rumored that the Freedom Sutra can communicate with the Holy Ancestor and help us practice. The deeper the bloodline, the more miraculous the Freedom Sutra is. There are also many secret methods - the Heavenly Demon Absolute Shadow is recorded in the Freedom Sutra."

Zheng Fa pursed his lips and looked at the talisman on the desk, as if thinking about something.

"Can I read the "Freedom Sutra"? "Zheng Fa asked.

"Of course, but I only have the part before the foundation-building period."

Lin Bufan said respectfully.

"Young Master!"

A voice interrupted Zheng Fa's thoughts. When he looked up, it was Han Qi and the other two who walked over.

Zheng Fa glanced at the three people who had just entered the room, and suddenly said to Lin Bufan: "The talisman in this blood has dissipated, give me some more later."

"……yes."

Lin Bufan twitched his lips and lowered his head.

As I said, I have offered my soul seal.

What else can you expect?

Just be alive.

Han Qi walked into the study and said to Zheng Fa, "Sir, we've sent you this month's spiritual stones - a total of twenty-five!"

Lin Bufan could sense that when these three people approached, they all looked at him.

There seems to be some subtle rejection.

These three people are the ones who dislike me the most in Jiushan Sect.

Lin Bufan curled his lips in his heart. If it wasn't for his life, who would want to recognize Zheng Fa as their master? Zheng Fa nodded and took the spiritual stone handed over by Han Qi.

He thought for a moment, took out three spirit stones and handed them to Han Qi and the other two: "Thank you for your hard work."

Han Qi and the other two took the spirit stones with a smile, looking like they were used to it.

Lin Bufan on the side lowered his head silently.

"Oh, right." He suddenly heard Zheng Fa say, "Take this."

"?"

Lin Bufan looked at the two spirit stones that Zheng Fa handed over, a little dazed.

"Selling blood... No, nutrition..." Zheng Fa thought about it again and finally changed his words: "Just think of it as your monthly salary."

Lin Bufan raised his head and glanced at Zheng Fa, with some emotion in his eyes.

He didn't reach out.

It seems like he doesn't dare, and also like he is not used to it.

"Why? You never received monthly salary?"

“…No.” Lin Bufan said in a low voice: “When we were in the village, we farmed, collected spiritual plants, or mined, and we had to report to the higher-ups… After we came to Lin Yangtian, we only fought for him, and the resources…we had to rob other cultivators.”

"Well now you have it, and also, killing people to steal treasures happened in Jiushan Sect... I can't tolerate it."

After hearing Zheng Fa's words, Lin Bufan lowered his head, took the two spirit stones, held them tightly, and finally understood the rejection of Han Qi and the other two.

Just when he was feeling mixed emotions, a ray of light came from afar and landed directly in front of Zheng Fa.

Lin Bufan knew that this was the communication talisman from Zhang Wuyi.

The young master exchanges messages with the other party every day, but I don’t know what there is to talk about.

Zheng Fa took the communication token, closed his eyes gently, then suddenly opened his eyes and walked out of the study.

"Sir?"

Lin Bufan, Han Qi and the other two behind him looked at each other and hurriedly followed him out.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zheng Fa was very fast, and seemed to think that he didn't have enough time, as he kept putting armor and horse talismans on his body.

The four people behind him were afraid that something might happen, so they chased after him with great effort.

Lin Bufan and three others followed Zheng Fa into the market town. When they saw him rushing into the small building, they hurriedly followed him in.

"You guys go out first."

Zheng Fa said to the disciples from the market town in the small building.

The brothers looked at each other, a little confused, but still left one after another.

Only Zheng Fa, Senior Sister Yuan, and Lin Bufan were left in the building.

"Junior brother, what's wrong?"

Senior Sister Yuan saw that Zheng Fa looked a little strange and asked hurriedly.

Zheng Fa did not say anything, but threw a few magic talismans and silent notes around to cover up the movement in the building.

"Senior Sister, has Senior Sister Zhang contacted the market?"

"Yes, every three days, I would send her information about the market, and she would write me back."

"Show it to me."

Senior Sister Yuan took out a few communication talismans in confusion. Zheng Fa looked at them carefully, then took out a bunch of communication talismans from his arms and compared the contents of them with each other.

The more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.

"Junior brother?"

Senior Sister Yuan was even more confused.

"Something happened to Senior Sister Zhang."

Zheng Fa suddenly spoke.

"ah?"

Hearing this, even Lin Bufan was shocked——

Zhang Wuyi's importance to Jiushan Sect was something he understood even when he first arrived there.

"How do you know?"

"I communicate and chat with Senior Sister Zhang every day."

"Wait a minute! Do you communicate every day?"

Senior Sister Yuan suddenly raised her hand.

"yes."

"I sent her a message before, why did she ignore me... She also said she was busy and asked me not to disturb her for no reason?"

Senior Sister Yuan stared at Zheng Fa with a puzzled expression.

“…”

The building suddenly fell into silence.

"Ahem." Zheng Fa coughed lightly and said, "Let's talk about what happened to Senior Sister Zhang?"

"You deserve it!" Senior Sister Yuan said angrily, "You say it!"

"During the communication, Senior Sister Zhang would like me to give her a math problem, and the next day, she would give me the answer."

“…”

There was silence in the building again.

"You continue..." Senior Sister Yuan said dryly after a long time.

"In the messages sent by Senior Sister Zhang these two days, there are some problems with both questions."

"What's the question? Wrong answer?"

"No, the answer is correct." Zheng Fa said firmly, "But the method is too stupid... It is not up to Sister Zhang's level."

“…”

"Someone must be impersonating me."

Senior Sister Yuan suddenly sighed and said, "It's not easy for this person to meet you two."

On the side, Lin Bufan, Han Qi and the other two nodded silently.

"I discovered this problem two days ago." Zheng Fa frowned and said, "I gave another question yesterday."

"He used stupid methods again?"

"No, he seems to have improved a bit this time, and answered very seriously." Zheng Fa shook his head: "It's just... I gave this question to Senior Sister Zhang before. She probably won't bother to answer it again, and will even write back to scold me."

On the side, Lin Bufan looked very confused.

He looked at Han Qi standing aside.

Han Qi sighed and said, "Don't look at me. The average Nine Mountain Sect, oh no, Immortal Sect disciples, don't have such perverted hobbies."

…

"If the message sent back by Senior Sister Zhang is fake, but when she told me about the market or the General Affairs Office..." Senior Sister Yuan seemed a little confused: "There is no flaw."

"This is the problem..." Zheng Fa said in a deep voice: "This person knows our Jiushan Sect too well."

Senior Sister Yuan's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Are you saying that someone in our Jiushan Sect is a traitor?"
