Chapter 74 Discussing Important Matters

Lengxue has thought many times about what the scene would be like when he meets the leader of the Salted Fish Sect.

According to the information revealed in the Wudu language, the image of the leader in Lengxue's mind is a strange person who is cold and strict and indifferent to his disciples.

But the leader in front of him is wearing a strange white smiling mask, the eyes hidden behind the black holes are blurry, and the voice is suppressed by the mask.

From head to toe, there is no place that can make people feel at ease.

Leader Bu felt that the two seemed to point their swords at his neck in the next second - could it be because his appearance was too cool?

In short, the reactions of the two were within the situation that Bu had preset in advance.

As the leader of the Salted Fish Sect, he was an elder anyway, so Leader Bu did not care about the obvious vigilance of the two people, but walked into the room and sat down on the stool in the middle very casually.

The leader stretched out his hand to support his cheek, his head tilted slightly, and the eyes behind the mask looked at the two people who were vigilant and defensive.

This kind of look without any emotion made Lengxue and Yidianhong feel very repulsive.

"I heard that according to your rules, you have to settle accounts with Wudu."

The leader spoke slowly, his voice was dull and distorted, and no emotion could be heard.

"Yes." Yidianhong answered without hesitation.

If this person intends to interfere in this matter... I am afraid I have no chance of winning.

Yidianhong thought to herself.

But the leader did not say anything after getting the answer, as if it was just a casual question.

Leng Xue stepped forward and asked, "How did you teach him that even if he wanted to make money and please you, he shouldn't kill people for a living."

The headmaster said, "Even if all the people he killed were bad guys."

Leng Xue's attitude was very tough: "Don't confuse me, the meaning is different."

The headmaster smiled, but it sounded like a cold snort to the people outside the mask: "There is no difference. He is my disciple, and you are nothing to him."

"Friend." Leng Xue said.

The headmaster didn't say anything, and the white mask laughed silently.

Leng Xue looked into the eyes behind the mask.

Wu Du, who came back with tea and snacks, broke the silence. He politely introduced Leng Xue and Yidianhong to the headmaster. The headmaster's voice was a little dull, and he replied very calmly, "I know." Wu Du showed a confused look on his face.

Leng Xue sat back in his original position without saying a word.

Wudu served the tea earnestly, and a sweet aroma filled the air. Yidianhong felt that the smell was familiar. When Wudu brought the tea closer, he realized that it was the tea that Wudu had invited him to drink in Songjiang Prefecture.

The place was the small courtyard where Chongming had stayed.

From Lengxue, Yidianhong learned a lot about the Salted Fish Sect, including that Chongming was the eldest disciple who rebelled against the sect.

The smiling mask of the sect leader faced Yidianhong and said in a leisurely voice: "How come you have drunk it?"

"...I have drunk it." Yidianhong glanced at Wudu.

Wu Du said softly, "When we were in Songjiang Prefecture, my senior brother stayed at his residence... I haven't seen him yet, I'm sorry, Master."

The second disciple wanted to be full of joy, but the Master was indifferent: "Whatever you want to do."

Wu Du lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Master..."

The Master said: "Have fun with your friends."

When saying this, the smiling mask slightly looked at the "friends".

Then the Master stood up, patted Wu Du's shoulder, and walked away.

"Master!"

Wu Du shouted, a trace of pain flashed in his round eyes, he seemed to choke, and in just this moment, the Master disappeared.

The Master didn't even pause.

Wu Du reached out to pull off his mask, but found nothing. He then put his hands behind his back and sat down next to Leng Xue.

Leng Xue asked, "Why did your senior brother... Chong Ming betray his master?"

Wu Du said, "He had a quarrel with his master."

Leng Xue was puzzled: "Quarrel"

Yidianhong also looked over.

"Quarrel" is a slightly neutral word, and it seems a bit subtle here. Family and friends quarrel, and strangers also quarrel. After a quarrel, there may be a cold war, a breakup, or reconciliation.

Wu Du's tone has a meaning of "sooner or later, they will reconcile."

"——They always quarrel." Wu Du lowered his eyes, revealing a hint of frustration, "It's just that this time the quarrel was fierce and lasted for a long time. So I want to find my brother back."

The conflict that made Chong Ming betray his master obviously cannot be summarized as a simple quarrel. It's not that Leng Xue and Yi Dian Hong, the parties involved, are unable to judge, but they all feel that it seems that only Wu Du is enthusiastic about finding Chong Ming.

Leng Xue looked at Wu Du for a while, then lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup at hand, took a sip, and slightly widened his eyes because of the sweet taste.

Wu Du silently raised the teapot, and Leng Xue subconsciously handed it to him.

After pouring it, he poured it for Yi Dian Hong, and he pushed the snacks in front of the two of them.

"I'll take you around tomorrow, and there will be snacks after you finish eating."

"Okay...thank you."

The next day, when Wudu took him to visit the interior of the Salted Fish Pie, Leng Xue discovered something very strange.

There were very few people in the Salted Fish Pie.

It's better to say that there were almost no people.

Even so, everything was still clean and tidy. There were some fallen leaves in the yard late last night, but when he woke up this morning, the fallen leaves disappeared. Whether it was Leng Xue or Yidianhong, they were so sensitive that they didn't notice any movement.

The railing at hand was as smooth as new. Leng Xue stretched out his finger and gently brushed it. His fingertips were clean and not stained with dust.

Looking up, everything he saw was brand new.

And while following Wu Du along the way, I didn't meet anyone else, even the unspeakable leader didn't show up.

This might be the internal rule of the Salted Fish Sect. Leng Xue thought about it and did not question it.

What Yidianhong did not tell Wudu was that he had to come to Wudu. The leader saw Wudu kill Wei Wuya and destroyed Wuya Sect effortlessly. For some reason, he was very anxious and hoped that Yidianhong could decide the winner with Wudu as soon as possible.

The pressure from the leader forced Yidianhong to speed up the task at hand and come to see Wudu.

The peace after seeing Wudu and his group made Yidianhong remain silent and did not speak unless necessary. He secretly enjoyed the leisurely feeling of the group walking through the tree-lined path, with birds flying overhead and the sun shining on their shoulders.

But after meeting the leader of the Salted Fish Sect, the matter came to an end. Yidianhong knew that she couldn't delay any longer.

So she walked across a stone bridge, retracted her gaze from the distant cliff, looked at Wudu, and asked: "How long are you going to stay here?"

Wudu said: "If you want, we can fight now - the venue is very large."

Lengxue said: "Do we have to fight?"

Wudu said seriously: "I respect his ideas."

Yidianhong was silent.

Lengxue asked: "What about you? What do you think?"

"I don't want to kill him." Wudu said frankly.

"Then say it." Lengxue suddenly got a little angry, "How can other people's ideas compare to your own wishes? Why don't you think carefully about what you really want?"

Wudu blinked: "But... respecting other people's ideas is also out of my own wishes."

Lengxue said: "That's different."

Wudu looked at Yidianhong.

Yidianhong felt that she was very similar to Wudu.

Lengxue could say this because he had a master and fellow apprentices who were willing to listen to his ideas. A harmonious master-disciple relationship is one of the foundations for the psychological health development of a disciple.

Yidianhong herself was also unwilling to fight with Wudu.

"I know what you mean."

After a long contemplation, Wudu said to Lengxue, "I'm glad you are willing to tell me this - so this is what being a friend is like? Thank you."

Lengxue's eyes widened slightly.

"No, nothing."

He was used to Wudu's frankness, but this was the first time Wudu admitted that they were friends. Lengxue had a vague feeling of being flattered.

"Yidianhong, you want to settle accounts with me because of 'that person', right?"

Wudu asked.

Yidianhong nodded silently.

He couldn't think of what to say now, and he didn't want to say anything.

"Then let's kill him."

Wudu said seriously.

Yidianhong: "............ Yeah."

Wudu's expression didn't seem to be joking, and that childish baby face was very serious.

Lengxue looked at this development in surprise and confusion. He noticed that there seemed to be a white smiley mask staring at this place under the shadow of the tree in the distance.

——That was not an illusion.

The mask of the head of the sect was smiling at Lengxue.

Wudu said: "Junior brother asked me to think about my own affairs, and Lengxue also said so, so I think about it. That person sent you to kill me and wanted my life. There is no reason for me not to seek revenge."

Lengxue withdrew his attention from the smiley mask. He remembered that Xiao Qingzhou did say such a thing.

That's probably why the junior fellow thought that Wudu was "meddling" by settling accounts with Wei Wuya on his behalf.

Lengxue connected the reactions of the Salted Fish Sect disciples and felt that it made sense.

This is exactly what Bu Zao wanted.

Facing Wudu's explanation, Yidianhong said lightly: "I can't kill him, he won't see you."

From this sentence, it can be seen that Yidianhong wants to get rid of the leader's control. In the 1.0 version of the simulated world, Yidianhong at this time is still a very repressed killer.

Bu Zao thought for a while and attributed the reason to the player's butterfly effect.

Wudu said: "It doesn't matter, we can go find him. I know his true face."

Yidianhong couldn't hide his surprise: "Do you know how you know?"

Wudu curled his eyes and smiled.

"My senior brother told me that although he refused to see me, he wrote me a letter when I asked him to investigate the target."

That is to say, even if Wu Du himself did not ask for it, Chong Ming still found out the true identity of the person who put Wu Du in danger seven years ago.

The two suddenly realized.

Leng Xue thought that Chong Ming's move should also be to make Wu Du think more about his own affairs.

Wu Du said to Yi Dian Hong: "It just so happens that we don't want to fight each other, so why not kill the person who made the rules. This way you won't have any pressure. What do you think?"

Although he was asking for Yi Dian Hong's opinion, Bu Zao was thinking about how to raid Xue Xiaoren's lair, and most importantly, how to divide the wealth.

Yidianhong was speechless for a long time, then nodded and said, "Very good."

Wudu: "Together"

Yidianhong: "Together."

Lengxue looked up into the distance.

The smiling mask in the shadow of the tree disappeared.
