Chapter 179: Searching for People (6)
Seeing Tao Zi remained silent, Liu Yue boldly continued, "Ever since Senior Sister's story got out, Liu Yue has been imitating Senior Sister's tone, asking Mother Su to hold back."
"Well done. Fortunately, I handed over Zhaoyue Tower to you at that time."
Liu Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Sister, Liu Yue didn't save Zhaoyue Tower. It's in a mess now. The only reliable ones are the sisters who left earlier."
"It's okay, take your time." Tao Zi slowed down her voice. "Keep an eye on Mother Su. If she makes any unusual movements, deal with them immediately."
"yes."
"Also, you can't stop your training. Find an excuse to get away with it from the City Lord. If that doesn't work, then escape with your life."
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. The City Lord is very supportive of Liu Yue's cultivation and even helps her find various resources."
Tao Zi asked a lot of questions and Liu Yue answered them one by one. It can be seen that she has not stopped collecting information in the past three years.
At midnight, everything that needed to be explained had been explained one by one, and Tao Zi was ready to leave.
When she stood up, Liu Yue suddenly called her, "Senior Sister."
"What's wrong?"
"Some people have guessed my identity and are planning to betray me. Liu Yue has already dealt with them. However, I can't contact Wu Yue, and the people in the teahouse are worried. If I want to contact them, I hope I can be cautious."
"rest assured."
Liu Yue, Xing Zhan and Wu Yue were the three managers she picked a hundred years ago. One was in charge of the brothel, one was in charge of the torture hall, and the other was in charge of the teahouse.
These three people all have their own sources of information and are aware of each other's existence, but they do not contact each other. It is only because of the special nature of the Xingtang that Xing Zhan can also use the information channels of the other two.
More than ten years ago, Wu Yue's cultivation reached a bottleneck, so she asked him to put aside the affairs of the teahouse and focus on cultivation. He is probably still in seclusion now.
Now, Xu Qianjia is in charge of the Punishment Hall. People's hearts are always unpredictable. She can take the risk to contact Liu Yue and Wu Yue, but Xing Zhan... let's postpone it. There are probably a lot of people watching him.
She sighed secretly. Among the three people, she trusted Xing Zhan the most, and Xing Zhan knew the most things, but she couldn't contact him now.
The inner demon's voice emerged at this moment: "Aren't you afraid that Liu Yue will reveal your information?"
"She won't."
"Are you so sure? Aren't you afraid of something going wrong?"
"Everything involves risk. If I were afraid of this or that, I wouldn't have to find out the truth. It would have been better to just hide."
Tao Zi walked towards the inn. The inner demon was still whispering in her ears, but she walked indifferently.
She suddenly whispered to herself, "What exactly does Xu Qianjia want to do?"
On Xingfeng Peak, Xing Zhan also said the same thing: "Xu Qianjia, what exactly do you want to do?"
Xu Qianjia stood in front of him and repeated his question: "Don't worry about me. Let me ask you, those people would rather lose their arms than leave. What are you going to do?"
Xing Zhan said nonchalantly, "You killed Senior Sister, and you still ask us what we want to do. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Xu Qianjia's expression suddenly turned cold: "I didn't. I wanted to save her too. You know that very well."
He looked at the senior sister's junior brother with a sarcastic expression and said, "Your way of saving her is to spread the news before the matter is settled and preemptively convict the senior sister of a crime?"
Xu Qianjia avoided the question and pressed the issue, "Those people would rather lose their arms to avoid Minglan Sect's surveillance. What exactly do they want to do? Also, did Senior Sister leave anything for you?"
Xing Zhan laughed, his eyes growing colder. "Since the incident, Senior Sister has been under your surveillance. What do you think Senior Sister has been able to give me in time?"
Xu Qianjia was speechless.
He added, "If you insist on asking me the reason, then I'll be frank. They cut off their arms just to avoid helping you. Is that clear enough?"
Xu Qianjia looked at him and couldn't find any suspicious points, but still felt something was wrong.
According to his understanding of the Punishment Hall, they should have taken crazy revenge, but apart from attacking Lian Qingzhou before, they had never done anything similar. Instead, they took great pains to leave Minglan Sect.
What exactly is Xing Tang doing? What is Xing Zhan hiding from him?
Before leaving, he said, "Next time, the tracker will be placed near their heart, not on their hands or feet. If you want to leave Minglan Sect, you have to commit suicide."
Xing Zhan remained indifferent and even smiled as he saw him off.
After he left, he stood up and walked towards the prison.
When he walked to the innermost part, he took a look and saw that there was no one there. There was only old blood that had merged with the ground. It was the blood of his senior sister.
He only took a quick glance before looking away, turning to a nearby cell and walking in.
Looking at the man covered in blood, he said directly: "Wu Yue, are you happy here?"
Wu Yue looked at him expressionlessly and said, "You betrayed Senior Sister."
Xing Zhan smiled and said, "I didn't. You were the one who betrayed me."
Wu Yue stared at him intently: "Why didn't you save Senior Sister back then?"
Xing Zhan was silent for a moment, then said, "I can't save him. Someone is watching him."
Wu Yue sneered repeatedly, obviously not believing what he said.
He sighed, without explaining, and he couldn't explain.
Now, Xu Qianjia's men were watching him. He had no way of telling Wu Yue that his senior sister was controlled by someone, nor could he reveal those things. He could only hope that Liu Yue would stay calm, not expose herself, and not send anyone to rush up.
Wu Yue asked again: "What is the truth of three years ago?"
"I don't know." Xing Zhan said, "Don't ask me, I really don't know."
Wu Yue looked at him distrustfully and said, "Senior Sister trusts you the most, and you've been by her side the longest. If you don't know, who else would know?"
No one knows, including his senior sister. He thought so in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
Xing Zhan sighed and turned to leave.
Shortly after he left, someone came in. It was a disciple who had been in the torture hall not long ago.
He smiled broadly, looked at Wu Yue, and said, "Senior Brother, I heard that you used to be a subordinate of Yue Qiran. Why don't you submit to the Young Sect Master? The Young Sect Master can give you much more than she can."
Wu Yue said one word expressionlessly: "Get lost."
He was not angry. He picked up the whip beside him and swung it. Wu Yue was already used to it.
At this moment, the man stepped forward, pointed at his chest and said, "Look at this wound, it's so ugly."
As he spoke, he plunged his hand into the wound, stirred it, and then left with satisfaction.
Wu Yue's expression remained indifferent, he just looked at the wound a few more times.
This person just said something jokingly in his ear, and the words were what Liu Yue mentioned when he sent him a message.
"Senior sister is dead, be cautious."
"Yue Qiran is dead, be careful."
Is it a coincidence?
