Chapter 121 Saying One Thing and Meaning Another

| Banxia Novel Exclusive |

*

There is a sense of tit-for-tat between Chongming and Xiaoqingzhou.

Lu Xiaofeng had met them once before and was quite calm. Yidianhong hesitated to speak, Yu Tianbao shrank aside as if he did not exist, and carefully looked at the famous owner of Wanwu Tower.

Wudu inserted himself between the two, and his tall figure perfectly blocked each other's line of sight.

Quarrels should be stopped in moderation. Quarrelling right after arriving will obviously not make people have a good impression of Salted Fish Pie.

There are so many aliases, only Wangcai and Wudu can barely earn some favorability, and Wudu is only a half-baked one due to his bad reputation.

Wu Du's obstruction made the stalemate between Chong Ming and Xiao Qing Zhou disappear without a trace, and the two looked away.

Lu Xiao Feng stroked his beard.

The matter seemed to be over, but Xiao Qing Zhou seemed determined not to let Chong Ming get what he wanted. Whenever Lu Xiao Feng or Yi Dian Hong wanted to speak, he would smile and look at them. He didn't say anything, but his meaning was very clear.

Lu Xiao Feng and Yi Dian Hong were speechless.

Yu Tian Bao was happy to be a bystander, not in a hurry. Seeing Wu Du's distressed look, he said happily: "Wouldn't it be better to wait until Xiao Gu Master calms down?"

Wu Du lowered his eyes and said sadly: "I want to confirm the identity of the head master as soon as possible."

What master would let his disciples spend so much time to confirm the identity?

Yu Tianbao always thought this was incredible. He complained about it in his heart but didn't speak.

Even if he spoke, Wudu would not understand anything. Wudu was attached to the Salted Fish Sect. He looked at everyone with a soft light. Even the smallest flaws could be covered by a pile of flowers.

The day after meeting Chongming, Chongming and Xiaoqingzhou began to "spar".

It was not so much a sparring as a fight without trying their best. The figures of one black and one pink intertwined in the open space, like a gust of wind. The branches and leaves on the edge trembled in the wind and waves raised by the momentum. Broken branches and leaves fell all over the ground, and the sound of breaking through the air was endless.

"Brother, Xiaozhou, stop fighting!"

Wudu's tone was much higher than before, with a little urgency and a bit of melancholy in his eyes.

No one paid any attention to him.

The senior brother and junior brother of the Salted Fish Sect were fighting passionately.

Yidianhong touched the hilt of the sword and couldn't help but glance at Wudu.

Wudu once said that "they always quarrel", but based on Yidianhong's experience of watching many times, this is not a quarrel. It's a fight.

No one had a chance to persuade Wudu, he sat down on a low stool beside him in frustration, watching the two fellow disciples fight silently.

Lu Xiaofeng changed his mindset, began to show a spirit of learning, and admired every move of the two.

This competition ended with Chongming losing. Xiao Qingzhou did not hold back. Chongming's mouth was bloody and his cheeks were swollen. He was very calm and stroking the wounds on his face.

Xiao Qingzhou smiled and said, "You can't beat me."

Chongming said coldly, "I knew this a long time ago."

Although he hit hard, it was surprising that the mask Chongming wore seemed to be glued to his face without any signs of loosening.

Speaking of which, why did Chongming wear a mask?

The half of his face that was exposed was fair and handsome, with straight eyebrows and eyes, sword eyebrows and star eyes. Apart from the gloomy feeling brought by his temperament, it was clearly a face without flaws.

Yu Tianbao recalled the time when Chongming and Wudu fought and his mask was blown off by the force, and he could see the mottled scars between Chongming's fingers.

And the gloomy and suppressed eyes between his fingers, full of forbearance.

Even though Yu Tianbao was so domineering and self-centered, he didn't dare to ask why Chongming had to wear a mask when he was alone with Wudu later.

Xiao Qingzhou could have easily taken off Chongming's mask, but he didn't take it off, which was also like another kind of care in a sense.

Yu Tianbao thought he understood everything, and looked at the two of them with complicated eyes.

Lu Xiaofeng is a very likable guy. He privately avoids the two disciples of the Salted Fish Sect. Yu Tianbao said with great emotion: "The bad relationship between the disciples is all because the leader is not a good person. He is not a master at all."

Yidianhong deeply agrees.

Wu Du often looks very happy when he talks about his days in the Salted Fish Sect, but if he is really happy, how could he quarrel with his senior and junior brothers and sisters to such a situation now?

It is obvious that the leader of the Salted Fish Sect has not fulfilled his responsibilities as the leader.

The two of them fell into deep thought.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly said: "Bu Zao doesn't look like that kind of person."

Yidianhong nodded silently.

——So the identity of the leader is even more confusing.

Yu Tianbao has never seen Bu Zao, scratching his head and saying nothing.

Too many coincidences cannot be considered coincidences, they are evidence.

Therefore, Yu Tianbao had long determined that Bu Zao, who had many skills, was the leader of the Salted Fish Sect.

After Chongming and Xiao Qingzhou had a sparring match, Xiao Qingzhou no longer stopped Lu Xiaofeng and others from revealing clues about the leader to Chongming, as if the reason he had stopped them before was just to have a fight with Chongming.

A rather complicated relationship between fellow disciples.

Wu Du called Lu Xiaofeng and Yidianhong gloomily to explain to Chongming the clues he had shared.

Xiao Qingzhou sat silently at the door and did not speak.

When Lu Xiaofeng mentioned Bu Zao's characteristics, a flash of surprise flashed across Chongming's face.

The scarlet wooden hairpin, amber eyes, and bright personality, the characteristics are very obvious, so it is not surprising that Chongming immediately thought of the background board he had met before.

Wu Du hesitated: "Senior Brother..."

Chongming's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not respond, just let Lu Xiaofeng continue.

Lu Xiaofeng's heart sank, Chongming's reaction was very strange, maybe Chongming had met Bu Zao before.

He continued to speak a little bit awkwardly, supplemented by Yidianhong, and told Chongming about the many encounters with Bu Zao, the fight in Huo Xiu's mansion, and the many times he had encountered Lengxue and Wuqing who were not present.

"..."

Chongming remained silent, and clenched his fists after a moment.

"Master Chongming, have you already met Bu Zao?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked frankly, staring at Chongming.

He inexplicably hoped that Chongming would give him a negative answer.

Xiao Qingzhou turned his head and looked at Chongming.

"Whether he has met him or not, what does it have to do with me?" Chongming said coldly.

"Senior Brother!" Wu Du raised his voice and called him.

Xiao Qingzhou's eyes were cold, he glanced at Wu Du, then looked at Chongming, and said slowly: "You have done so many things, isn't it just to make him recognize your ability? Why, now you are afraid to go see him?"

"Xiao Zhou!" Wu Du shouted in a deep voice, his eyes were sad and puzzled, "Don't say that kind of thing..."

Xiao Qingzhou stopped talking and retracted his gaze.

Chongming was silent for a moment, and said, "I did see a man named Bu Zao. He was hired by your employer as a cook."

Lu Xiaofeng cast a questioning look: Employer

Wu Du said, "Your employer was commissioned to capture him alive."

Chongming nodded silently, and then said, "After I left, he was hired as a cook. He was very famous on that street. I saw him several times... He saw him when he was fighting with someone."

"——Did he say anything to you, brother?"

Wu Du's eyes were anxious.

"Nothing." Chongming said coldly, "He is a very cheerful person, not like that person at all."

Without waiting for Wu Du to ask again, Chongming directly said, "The cook was taken away by the employer. If you want to find him, you need to go to sea."

"Bu Zao went to sea"

Lu Xiaofeng was a little surprised.

Chongming said, "He volunteered."

Wudu made a prompt decision, "Go out to sea to meet him."

He had to meet Bu Zao himself and find out the truth.

Wudu was very active and decided to set off tomorrow, and begged Chongming to go with them.

Chongming did not refuse, but emphasized, "I couldn't find out his background, I just went with you because of curiosity."

Xiao Qingzhou sneered.

Lu Xiaofeng and others: "..."

So I really don't understand you, the Salted Fish Sect.

When Lu Xiaofeng was free in private, he showed his wooden fish to Chongming. After realizing that the person who gave Lu Xiaofeng the wooden fish might be the leader of the Salted Fish Sect, his expression became more complicated than before.

Chongming held the wooden fish in his palm, stroking it gently with his thumb, his expression was obscure and hard to discern.

Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Master Chongming, why did you betray your master?"

And how did you cause such a scene with your two junior brothers, especially Xiao Qingzhou?

Chongming remained silent.

Lu Xiaofeng brought up Wudu: "Every time you mention the Salted Fish Sect, Wudu always looks happy and sad..."

Chongming said lightly, "He is the most obedient, so the master likes him the most, and Xiaozhou and I can't dislike him."

Lu Xiaofeng listened quietly.

Chongming looked at the small wooden fish in his palm, his expression stunned: "I don't know why we have become like this...Master, the master is very powerful, so I want to prove that I will not lose to him. ... I want to be a disciple that he will praise."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became.

Lu Xiaofeng was speechless.

Although Chongming betrayed his master, his purpose was only to prove himself to the master. He had heard Chongming say this.

At that time, Chongming seemed stubborn and obstinate, but now Chongming was a little confused.

Maybe it was because he had met Bu Zao before - Lu Xiaofeng himself could not connect the cheerful Bu Zao with the weird master whom he had met once, let alone the master's disciple.

"Thank you." Chongming returned the wooden fish to Lu Xiaofeng. After meeting several times, he was particularly friendly to Lu Xiaofeng.

Considering Chongming's way of dealing with people, a calm conversation was considered a kind of friendship.

At the same time, Yidianhong was also talking to Wudu. The purpose and result of the conversation were no different from those between Lu Xiaofeng and Chongming.

Bu Zao was a dedicated player who respected the character setting and the script. Wudu mainly expressed his stubborn determination to reunite the sect.

"If Bu Zao - although I have never met him, from what you said, he has always appeared beside several of our disciples."

Wudu said firmly, with a hint of melancholy between his brows.

"I must meet him."

Yidianhong had a complicated mood. She hoped that Bu Zao was the leader of the Salted Fish Sect, but she also hoped that he was not. All kinds of emotions intertwined and turned into encouragement.

No matter what, Yidianhong hoped that Wu Du could get what she wanted.

Xiao Qingzhou was accompanied by Yu Tianbao only.

When Yu Tianbao found that the two pairs in front were having a deep conversation, he walked away quite tactfully.

But the courtyard was not big, and the place where he could be dazed and confused could only be shared with Xiao Qingzhou.

Xiao Qingzhou stood at the door with his arms folded, and his eyes passed lightly over Yu Tianbao.

Yu Tianbao could not be proud only in front of him - anyone who had seen Xiao Qingzhou teaching his men would probably find it difficult to face him normally.

Even though Xiao Qingzhou has delicate eyebrows and a light smile that makes people feel close to him, it doesn't work.

Xiao Qingzhou asked: "Are you afraid of me?"

Yu Tianbao shook his head: "No. I just think you can only watch from afar, and have no other intentions!"

Bu Zao thought, it would be great if Master Yu could use this caution in dealing with things around him.
