Wan Ge wasn't surprised by this answer; if the martial arts alliance leader had been captured so early, the plot would have developed in an even stranger way.
While I wouldn't say I had foreseen this outcome, it certainly wasn't surprising.
However, Wan Ge was certain of one thing: she glanced at the people investigating the truth with Ji Qingzhou, and it was highly likely that some of them were people affiliated with the leader of the martial arts alliance.
If it weren't for that, and they were so low-key, yet the leader of the martial arts alliance still found out, then he's really something else.
Ji Qingzhou and his team investigated the truth superficially, but their investigation into Liushan Manor was actually very secretive.
…
After Ji Kong was captured, he was taken directly to the leader of the martial arts alliance.
The martial arts alliance leader instantly appeared heartbroken, a look that no one could tell was feigned.
Ji Kong confessed to everyone that he had used the excuse of recuperating from his injuries to stay with the Martial Alliance and wait for an opportunity to seize the sword. He thought they would not suspect the Martial Alliance at all, but to his surprise, they still became suspicious.
They are in charge of investigating the truth, and we'll find out what kind of punishment Ji Kong will receive later.
But unexpectedly, just as they were about to leave, Ji Kong committed suicide on the spot, as if his reputation was completely ruined and there was no need for him to continue living.
Others expressed understanding, saying that it was normal for a highly respected person to not want to continue living after being caught stealing.
He could only deepen his suspicions by mentioning Ji Qingzhou, but after glancing at Wan Ge, he decided not to think about it anymore. Since everyone felt it was over, then it should be over.
…
The next morning, after watching the martial arts alliance leader place the Feixing Sword into the Hidden Sword Pavilion, everyone took their leave.
Everyone returned to their respective sects in different directions, but all of them had to pass through a forest before leaving Qingliu Manor. This was a place that everyone had to go through.
However, as soon as they stepped into the woods, fog rolled in. This fog was very strange, and everyone immediately became more vigilant.
A moment later, a sound came from not far away. For safety's sake, Ji Qingzhou went to check, while the others stayed where they were.
By the time Ji Qingzhou realized it was a diversionary tactic, it was too late to return to the original spot. Everyone else had fallen unconscious, and Wan Ge was nowhere to be found. At the same time, the smoke dissipated.
A mark was left on a tree not far away; it was a cult's label.
Ji Qingzhou's hands were clenched tightly. What did they want to do by grabbing Wan Ge?
Ji Qingzhou thought of Wan Ge's identity. She should also be one of their people. Was it just because of that? Or was it because of him?
Ji Qingzhou punched the tree, and instantly all the leaves fell off. When the wind blew, the tree turned into powder.
Ji Qingzhou went back and informed Qingliu Manor. Soon, everyone else returned to Qingliu Manor, but Ji Qingzhou left.
However, when the martial arts alliance leader asked where Wan Ge had gone, Ji Qingzhou's face darkened.
…
…
When Wan Ge groggily woke up, she saw a place that was both familiar and strange. And she was wearing clothes from the frontier again.
There were two maids guarding the bedside, and they went to her immediately after she woke up.
When the fog rolled in, Wan Ge realized that the male protagonist's master had appeared.
The male protagonist's master is the most mysterious and unpredictable figure in the entire plot, and also the one with the strongest martial arts skills.
To prevent Ji Qingzhou from getting hurt, Wan Ge inhaled a sleeping potion and fell unconscious along with them, her purpose being to see what he intended to do.
