Chapter 1876 [Shangxie] The Sect Master is Back
At this moment, the secret guards who were in charge of guarding during the day came to take over their shift.
They also brought a piece of news.
The leader has returned.
The secret guards in Fuyi Pavilion looked at each other, and saw their pale faces in each other's eyes.
·
The mighty mountain wind hit the twelve bronze pillars outside the central hall of the bluestone palace, and when the wind blew into the room, only a slightly cold aftertaste remained.
More than a dozen black-clad secret guards were kneeling in a row in the middle of the hall. The corners of their black clothes were blown up by the wind and then slowly fell down. Until the wind made everyone feel cold to the bone, there was still no sound in the entire hall.
It was as if a thick fog silently but heavily filled every corner of the hall, and the atmosphere made people afraid to even breathe.
Until there was a snap.
Someone's sweat flowed down his forehead and hit the ground, finally making a little sound in the suffocating air, and then a sound finally came from above his head.
A faint, smiling voice, yet it makes people feel that there is no smile at all.
"So, it means that all fifteen of you couldn't keep an eye on her, right?"
In the hall, the man in splendid clothes supported his chin and squinted his eyes leisurely, but his eyes were clearly filled with cold murderous intent.
"Why did Tianjimen keep you here?"
Zhan Luoying, who had been silent at the side, bowed low and said,
"Master, yesterday Linglong Pavilion suddenly caught fire, and they were afraid that the fire would spread to Jiange, so they temporarily left Fuyi Pavilion—"
"Did I ask you to speak?"
Zhan Luoying was interrupted by the man before she could even finish her sentence.
He glanced at him without any emotion, but his eyes were like a gust of wind blowing across the polar regions, so cold that Zhan Luoying shut her mouth instantly.
The man then turned his head and looked at the secret guard below, and said lightly,
"Did I ever tell you that except for the critical moment of the Tianji Sect's survival, you can leave at any other time?"
The leader of the secret guards lowered his head with cold sweat on his forehead and said solemnly,
"Master, please punish me."
The man was in no hurry to speak.
He supported his chin and glanced at the entire lobby indifferently, and his eyes finally fell on the woman in red beside him with an ambiguous look.
Then his voice suddenly softened,
"Yanshu, why did Linglong Pavilion suddenly catch fire last night?"
Xue Yanshu seemed to be in a daze before, but when he heard his name being called, he immediately raised his head with a start, and when he raised his head, he met the pair of eyes looking down at him.
Although he was looking down at her from a high place and the distance was a little blurry, the pair of deep and always charming eyes seemed to be full of affection and concern when they stared at her.
Xue Yanshu looked at those eyes, and in a trance she couldn't remember when she last saw such eyes. It was probably several years ago, when Xia Fuyi was still in Tianji Sect, and the sect leader always looked at her with such affectionate and smiling eyes. But she didn't know when it started, that kind of eyes suddenly disappeared, and turned into indifference that was completely different from the smile on the corners of his mouth, as if he was looking at a stone on the roadside.
Xue Yanshu choked up at the gaze that had been so familiar yet so strange for so long, and after a while, she almost choked with sobs and said,
"I don't know. It was a servant who accidentally started the fire. By the time I discovered it, it was already out of control."
The man nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then said,
"Has the servant been executed?"
Xue Yanshu was slightly startled. She looked up at the Sect Master, but the man looked down at her with a matter-of-fact look, even with a smile.
"Since he caused such a massive fire, not only did he cost me half of Linglong Pavilion, but he also cost me Xia Fuyi, whom I had finally found. You're not going to tell me that this culprit is still alive, are you?"
