Chapter 103 Complex Relationship
| Banxia Novel Exclusive |
*
After saying goodbye to Chongming, Yu Tianbao caught up with Wudu. During the time they were together, he had already experienced Wudu's cleanliness. In addition, Wudu was not in a good mood, so Yu Tianbao said nothing.
They quickly returned to the inn. While waiting for Wudu to change clothes, Yu Tianbao waited downstairs and teased the listless Wangcai with dogtail grass picked on the road.
"Little Wangcai, why are you unhappy?"
Yu Tianbao has always found it difficult to get used to Wangcai's spiritual performance. This dog really seems to be disappointed by the frozen relationship between his master and his brothers.
Wangcai ignored him, buried his head, his tail hanging on the ground, silently stretching out his claws to scratch the ground.
As the mascot of the Salted Fish Sect, Wangcai can also recover. In fact, due to his short physical strength, he recovers very quickly. Bu Zao was indeed a little tired at first, but after recovering, he simply didn't want to care about anyone.
Yu Tianbao reached out to pick up the red rope around Wangcai's neck. The bright golden fish-shaped pendant was very conspicuous.
Bu Zao did not hide it from him. When Yu Tianbao asked, he directly told him that this thing was the token of the Salted Fish Sect.
Yu Tianbao's timing of appearance was very coincidental. He didn't even need to guess after meeting various vests. Bu Zao didn't think he would think too much, so it was better to tell him directly.
At this moment, looking at the little goldfish in his palm, Yu Tianbao showed a strange look on his face.
"...A dog can have a token."
He murmured.
As the young master of Luosha Sect, Yu Tianbao did not have any tokens to prove his identity.
Wangcai's eyes reflected his appearance, and Bu Zao stared at him.
It seems that Yu Tianbao was not completely unaware that his position was a bit strange.
There were footsteps behind him, Yu Tianbao put down his hand, and the little goldfish slipped from his fingertips. He turned around and looked back, watching Wu Du squatting beside him, and first reached out to rub Wangcai's dog head.
Wu Du, who had a serious obsession with cleanliness, was always clean and tidy, and at this time he also exuded a faint pleasant fragrance.
And whenever he became the cleanest, Wu Du's temperament would be very gentle, and a comfortable feeling would be revealed from body to mind, making people around him feel peaceful.
But Yu Tianbao had seen him with blood stains on his collar when he raised his knife, which had nothing to do with peace.
"What should we do next?" Yu Tianbao asked excitedly.
He found that following Wu Du could see things that outsiders could not know up close, which gave Yu Tianbao a subtle sense of accomplishment.
Wu Du hesitated for a moment: "It depends on when the head master and the little junior brother can hear this news... Let's go find the little junior brother first."
Yu Tianbao blinked. He always felt that Wu Du seemed a little hesitant, as if he was not sure whether his plan would succeed.
"Then where is your little junior brother?"
Yu Tianbao asked.
After entering the Central Plains, he didn't seem to hear much about Xiao Qingzhou's whereabouts after he and the former young master of Wuzheng Mountain Villa went together.
And the leader of the Salted Fish Sect… disappeared again after taking away Huo Xiu’s property.
Yu Tianbao felt that the people in this sect seemed to particularly like playing hide-and-seek, and loved to hide and jump out unexpectedly to scare people.
Wu Du thought for a while and said, “I roughly know where he went, but I also need to confirm it.”

Salted Fish Sect.
Wu Qing has been here for a while, not a long time, but the things that have been reported in the martial arts world are too complicated to be done in just a few months.
The people in charge of the Salted Fish Sect now are the victims that Wu Du brought out from the Stone Forest Cave Mansion. They have no relatives and have been staying in the Salted Fish Sect since they were brought by Wu Du.
The leader of the Salted Fish Sect only showed up that one time, and he covered his face with banana leaves, looming and very mysterious. As the leader of a sect, he was just like a hands-off manager.
Jiang Zheng introduced the situation of the Salted Fish Sect to Wuqing. Including the people who came to seek refuge from the Toothless Sect and the Twelve Hands, there were a total of 25 people in the Salted Fish Sect at this time.
Yidianhong was not in the Salted Fish Sect at this time. Although Wudu did not make any requests, Yidianhong still hoped that he could do something for Wudu. In addition, as the number one killer in the killer organization, he knew the killer organization better.
——So Yidianhong accompanied his colleagues to familiarize themselves with the new work place, and then left to reunite with Lengxue.
The Salted Fish Sect, from top to bottom, was full of outsiders who came later, and the real master was not here.
Wuqing felt a little helpless about this situation. He really couldn't find the building in the mountains that his junior brother had been to, but this kind of laissez-faire way of recruiting believers seemed very casual.
After staying in the Salted Fish Sect for a while, Wuqing gradually understood what these people with a bad past were mainly doing.
Improving martial arts, learning knowledge, astronomy and geography, classics, history, and business, everything you can read, everything you can learn.
——"There are no illiterate people in the Salted Fish Sect."
This was said by the leader, Wu Du relayed it to them, and then passed it on to Wuqing through Jiang Zheng.
At that time, the leader of the Salted Fish Sect had not yet taken action against Huo Xiu, and Wuqing could only try to guess the other person's character based on the descriptions of others, but the more he guessed, the vaguer the image of the other person became.
The ancient books for study were all hand-copied, with handwriting sometimes neat and sometimes cursive, but after a careful reading, you can tell that there are four people writing, and on some pages you can even see ink-colored dog paw prints.
Wuqing could almost imagine the four masters and apprentices of the Salted Fish School copying books.
Perhaps to kill time, or perhaps to deepen their impressions, they copied books, and the dog Wangcai stayed obediently by their side, but sometimes he was naughty, and his paws were dipped in ink and pressed on the pages, leaving marks.
So it seems that they once had a harmonious and intimate moment.
There are also many ancient books in the Shenhou Mansion, but not as many as the variety of the Salted Fish Sect. There are even books that Wuqing has never seen before, which record things far away overseas, and there are also strange books with pictures of building machines. Wuqing read through all the books, but he only has a vague understanding of them.
This is also one of the reasons why he stayed here for a long time. If there is something wrong with the Six Gates, the documents will be sent here.
Because Wudu told Jiang Zheng that those who are allowed to come in can do whatever they want. When Wuqing lingered in front of those books, Jiang Zheng took the initiative to invite him to stay.
Jiang Zheng was somewhat selfish in his initiative. He knew that several people from the Salted Fish Sect were stirring up trouble in the underworld, and there was nothing wrong in building a good relationship with the chief constable Wuqing.
Shi Guanyin was a very picky person. The men she liked were not only good-looking, but also very capable, so all the affairs in the Salted Fish Sect were handed over to them.
Bu Zao could not control everything in his own hands. It was good enough for him to operate behind the scenes. If he really wanted him to do it himself, it would be like asking for the player's life.
Jiang Zheng was worthy of his trust, and his actions were completely in line with Bu Zao's expectations.
The news that the disciples of the Shenshui Palace brought back gifts to visit the Salted Fish Sect arrived earlier than the news that Wudu had captured the young master of the Demon Sect. As an eyewitness of the incident at that time, Wuqing did not expect that he would be able to witness the sequel.
Jellyfish Yin Ji actually... fulfilled the promise she made to Xiao Qingzhou.
"The Xiaogu Master has already seen the list, and Mr. Jiang can confirm it himself."
A disciple handed the list of gifts to Jiang Zheng, and there were two trucks behind them.
Jiang Zheng went with her to confirm the specific content, and completely confirmed her identity as a housekeeper.
Wuqing talked to another disciple and asked her about the situation of Shi Guanyin and others in the Shenshui Palace.
"The Xiaogu Master also asked..."
The disciple was a little hesitant, and Wuqing showed a look of curiosity. She thought of Wuqing's identity, thought about it, and briefly explained the situation to Wuqing.
This cannot be said that she can't control her mouth. Everyone has a gossipy heart. The shadow in the Shenshui Palace has been lingering in the disciple's heart for a long time, and she can't help but speak out.
Her narration was not exaggerated, and even simplified some of the content, but it still made Wuqing briefly confused for a moment, silently digesting the interpersonal relationships of the Lord of the Yin Palace.
The disciple of the Shenshui Palace hesitated to speak, and looked at Wuqing's frown, and sighed.
"Alas."
Thousands of words turned into a sigh. Hearing this sigh, Wuqing's mouth twitched, thought for a while, and said: "The martial arts of Shi Guanyin and others have been abolished. You don't have to worry about her attacking you... As for the Lord of the Yin Palace..."
The disciple of the Shenshui Palace whispered: "Thank you for your guidance, the chief constable, I know that the word love is the most difficult to understand... I know."
Her beautiful face showed a slightly mature and sad look.
Wuqing was speechless.
This time, the disciples of Shenshui Palace were not as unkind as he imagined...
Jiang Zheng wanted to invite the people of Shenshui Palace to sit in after counting the return gifts, but they did not agree. They drove away immediately after the cargo box on the car was unloaded.
Wuqing did not ask what the return gifts of Shenshui Palace were, but thought about the current situation of Shenshui Palace and fell into deep thought.
What will happen to Shenshui Palace if it continues like this?
After all, Jellyfish Yinji broke the rules she set, and it was difficult to convince people. It would be a long time before people felt dissatisfied and took action.
Not long after the disciples of Shenshui Palace came to visit, Wudu's actions in Luosha Sect were spread to Central Plains by people with good intentions, and spread throughout the Central Plains martial arts world at a rapid speed.
Not only did he rob people from the Luosha Sect, he also kidnapped the young master of the Luosha Sect and did not fulfill his promise to release the hostages. He was evaluated as a treacherous, thief and a bad guy.
At this time, the people in the Salted Fish Sect came here because of Wu Du. Most of them had come here with Wu Du and thought that such evaluations were not credible.
"It must be deliberately exaggerated somewhere."
Someone in the first batch of people brought by Wu Du said so.
"Yes, yes, Master Wu is so friendly, but he just does things in a big way."
The person who said this was the youngest boy among the former Wu Yamen death warriors.
The former twelve hands, who had never seen Wu Du in person but heard a series of good things about him from Yidianhong, remained silent.
Wuqing was going to leave the Salted Fish Sect. The people there always did things that made him wonder what expression to use.
Before Wuqing and the sword boy who followed him left, Jiang Zheng said to him, "Captain, Wudu... is not that kind of person. This time, he must have exaggerated the incident. Even if he didn't, there must be other reasons."
Soon after arriving at the Salted Fish Sect, Wuqing learned from them about the two strange people hidden in the Stone Forest Cave Mansion incident. The stories circulating in the martial arts world were not all true.
"I know."
Wuqing smiled lightly.
Wudu was Lengxue's friend. After learning in detail about what Wudu had done when he went down the mountain, Wuqing chose to trust him to a certain extent.
Not long after leaving the Salted Fish Sect, Wuqing heard about Wudu's new deeds.
——He kidnapped his senior brother who had betrayed his master and handed him over to an unknown employer, successfully completing the task of "capturing the owner of Wanwu Tower alive".
Wuqing: ...Hmm
Such a development was beyond many people's expectations. Anyone who had ever crossed paths with Wudu, heard his filtered views of his fellow disciples, and saw his warm and happy expression when he mentioned Chongming, found it hard to believe. Wuqing,
who was full of doubts, first met Sikong Zhaixing. This guy sneaked into the inn to work as an errand boy to find out the news. People around him were discussing this matter. He winked at Wuqing while serving dishes, and ran over to talk to Wuqing in the evening.
"Big Constable, the owner of Chongming Tower was captured by his junior brother."
Sikong Zhaixing was radiant and happy about the misfortune.
In the past, Sikong Zhaixing would never reveal his identity in front of the enemy Six Gates Constable, but this time was an exception.
Wuqing was a witness to him being a subordinate of Chongming against his will, but now he is a witness in another sense - Sikong Zhaixing just wants to find someone to mock Chongming together.
He has not forgotten the face of Chongming who insisted on him being a subordinate! He even forced himself to owe a favor!
Wuqing looked at him silently for a moment, and said faintly: "Why are you so happy? Could it be that the employer is you?"
Sikong Zhaixing widened his eyes: "How is it possible? I won't spend my own money to find a big boss."
Wuqing smiled, and Sikong Zhaixing seemed to have forgotten that he had always insisted that he had not suffered any loss under Chongming, but at this time he showed such a reaction, everyone could guess what must have happened at that time.
The King of Thieves must have suffered at the hands of the owner of Wanwu Building.
The ruthless smile made Sikong Zhaixing realize something. He changed the subject calmly and said with a smile: "Captain, do you want to save him?"
Wuqing said, "I have no relationship with him, why should I save him?"
Sikong Zhaixing said, "He is the owner of Wanwu Building, he must know many secrets. It will be very bad if he is forced to tell them."
Wuqing said indifferently, "He is the owner of Wanwu Building, and he must have someone to save him."
Sikong Zhaixing sighed, "Even Wudu has given up on him, his subordinates may be even more unreliable."
Wuqing paused, and asked with a strange look, "Do you really want to see Zhongming's jokes?"
"Yes, hahahaha."
Sikong Zhaixing laughed out loud, very happy.
Sima Zhao's intentions were obvious.
Wuqing's mouth twitched slightly, he shouldn't have let people into the house, and after thinking so, he immediately drove them away.
Sikong Zhaixing climbed up the window with a smile, turned around and asked: "Captain Wuqing, does the salted fish pie give you a headache?"
"You are giving me a headache now too."
Wuqing did not deny it.
"But they are very interesting, aren't they?"
Sikong Zhaixing said with a smile, and his tone suddenly became very serious for a moment.
After leaving such a sentence, Sikong Zhaixing jumped down the window neatly. There was a muffled sound from below, and then everything returned to silence.
Wuqing guessed that he was going to get involved in this matter, looking at the void outside the window, silently responded in his heart.
——It is indeed very interesting.
