After saying that, seemingly afraid that Zero and the others might misunderstand, he continued:
"I have no other intentions, nor do I mean to inquire about your origins. If you are from another dimension, then you should be more careful..."
Why is that?
Upon hearing this, Zero couldn't help but ask.
“Young friend Ling, you may not know... The Upper Realm has been quite turbulent lately, and every city is being extra cautious about any foreign forces or personnel.”
Ling was slightly surprised when she heard Mei Shiqi's words.
Mei Shiqi continued:
"Because Luoyun City is close to the border, it is an important city for investigation."
“Normally, even if you were allowed to enter the city, you would need to undergo a series of identity checks. However, because the city's guards had to leave today, the dispatched soldiers were prone to negligence, just like the one you encountered, who even tried to line his own pocket.”
"Everyone knows about their little tricks, but to avoid trouble, they all turn a blind eye."
Zero nodded knowingly, then, as if remembering something, asked:
"Young Master Mei, aren't you afraid we have ulterior motives for bringing us into the city like this?"
Upon hearing this, Mei Shiqi laughed heartily:
"If I couldn't see through your intentions to harm Luoyun City, then I, Mei Shiqi, would have lived these past twenty-odd years in vain..."
"Besides, I really don't think any person with ill intentions would be willing to take out spiritual medicine and even use it to enter the city."
"Furthermore, judging from your appearance, you must have come to the Upper Realm on important business, right? If you don't mind, you can tell me. I still have some influence in Luoyun City, and I might be able to help you out."
Mei Shiqi smiled kindly.
Ling originally wanted to ask Mei Shiqi about some information about the Upper Realm, but he didn't expect Mei Shiqi to tell him on his own initiative.
Thinking of this, Zero didn't hesitate and briefly mentioned her trip to the Upper Realm to find someone.
"Qianchen Pavilion... a branch of that ancient sect?"
"Ah... how splendid the original Thousand Dust Mystery was..."
Hearing Mei Shiqi's sighing tone, Ling's heart tightened, and she quickly asked:
"But what happened? I only heard that something happened to Xuanji Pavilion, could it be... that something happened to Qianchen Pavilion too!?"
Mei Shiqi nodded, and Ling's expression changed drastically.
So... the reason why Chen Xin hasn't returned for two years is because something happened at Qianchen Pavilion...?
Seeing that Ling looked dazed, Mei Shiqi quickly comforted her:
“Young friend Ling, please don’t be anxious. I’ve only heard about this from them. We’ll have to see for ourselves to know the truth. After all, it’s just hearsay…”
Even so, Zero was still very worried...
What did you hear about?
Even though she didn't know if it was true or not, Zero still wanted to find out what was going on.
Mei Shiqi nodded and slowly said:
"It is said that the Thousand Dust Pavilion has gone to war with the three upper sects..."
"War? How could this be..."
Zero clearly couldn't believe it.
Jiang Quan, who was standing to the side, also said:
"Weren't the three upper sects supposed to be on good terms with the two pavilions? How could they be at war...? Even if something happened to the Xuanji Pavilion, they shouldn't be fighting with the Qianchen Pavilion like this..."
Clearly, Jiang Quan also had some understanding of these super powers.
Upon hearing this, Mei Shiqi shook her head and said:
"That being said, who would have thought that the trouble at Xuanji Pavilion was actually the work of the three upper sects?"
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, not only Ling and Jiang Quan, but also a person lying on the eaves stared wide-eyed in surprise.
It was at this moment that his aura was slightly revealed.
"Who!? Who's there?"
Although what the three were talking about wasn't exactly a secret, the fact that someone was eavesdropping made everyone very unhappy.
Upon hearing this, the person on the rooftop acted decisively, flipping over and vaulting in through the window.
"Bi Hui!?"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Zero was the first to recognize his identity.
"Ah... it's Brother Zero, long time no see... I didn't expect to see you here."
As he spoke, he sat down next to Zero as if they were old friends.
"Young Master Mei, how have you been?"
He cupped his hands in greeting to Mei Shiqi, then turned to Ling and asked:
How did you end up here?
Before Ling could answer, Mei Shiqi, who was standing to the side, looked at Bi Hui cautiously and said to Ling:
"Young friend Ling, you don't know his identity yet... He..."
"It's from the Daoguang Sect, I know."
Ling smiled faintly, reached out and picked up the teapot on the table, and poured tea for everyone.
"Then why..."
Did he not explain himself clearly just now?
Is Zero completely indifferent to the war between the three upper sects and the Thousand Dust Pavilion?
Or is it that the people from Qianchen Pavilion are not actually his friends, but his enemies?
Thinking about it this way, Mei Shiqi could understand.
"Young Master Mei, didn't you say it was just hearsay? Well, there happens to be someone here who knows the truth. Why don't we just ask them?"
If Ling was indeed worried about Chen Xin at first, he knew there was something fishy about the matter after meeting Bi Hui.
Sure enough, upon hearing Zero's words, Bi Hui's expression immediately turned serious. He looked at Zero and asked:
"Brother Zero, are you willing to believe me?"
"What are you talking about? Aren't we friends? Speaking of which, I'm still keeping the Buddha Light Pagoda you gave me safe and sound."
Putting aside the fact that Bi Hui did not harm his family or do anything that would displease Ling, the Buddha Light Pagoda that nurtures the Golden Spirit alone is enough for Ling to regard him as a friend.
Although Bi Hui may not have known that the Golden Spirit, one of the Five Elements Spirits, resided in the Buddha Light Pagoda...
But since he took the initiative to befriend him, Zero naturally wouldn't go against his wishes.
The reason for mentioning the Buddha Light Pagoda is also to tell Bi Hui from another perspective that Ling has always remembered this friend.
Upon hearing this, Bi Hui smiled slightly and then said to Zero:
“Brother Ling, something has happened to the Daoguang Sect. My elder brother’s power has been completely undermined.”
"What??"
Hearing this, even Mei Shiqi, who was standing to the side, was slightly surprised, as if she had not expected such a situation to occur.
Bi Hui continued:
"Not only that, I suspect that the power of the other two of the three upper sects has also been undermined..."
"The reason I am not in Daoguang Sect is that my elder brother secretly sent me a message saying that there was an accident in Daoguang Sect and that he himself was under house arrest. He told me not to go back to Daoguang Sect."
"The Daoguang Sect of today is not the same as the Daoguang Sect of the past..."
"I see."
Upon hearing this, all three of them wore expressions of sudden realization.
"No wonder there are rumors that the three upper sects are at war with the Thousand Dust Pavilion... If that's the case, is it really just a rumor?"
Zero couldn't help but ask.
"No, it's true."
Bi Hui, who knew about the relationship between Ling and Chen Xin, the master of Qianchen Pavilion, shook his head and sighed.
Zero fell silent.
Jiang Quan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:
"Brother Ling, don't worry too much. Since there's a reason for this, there must be a solution!"
