Not to mention the captured woman, even the people from Hanxi Sect who already knew about their arrival were also shocked when they saw the woman coming back.
The leaders of the spiritual and evil ways joined forces, and with so many masters dispatched at the same time, when they came back, each of them stepped on a flying sword or a flying knife, and their momentum almost overwhelmed the disciples of the Hanxi Sect present and they dared not look directly at them. Even the Hanxi Sect's leader, who was standing in front, was vaguely wondering if he had made a mistake, or that the person they caught was not the contact person of a spiritual item trafficking organization, but the evil leader who would threaten the safety of the entire Xuanqing Continent.
Seeing everyone coming, the leader of Hanxi Sect hurriedly came to greet them, and very tactfully found the person who had the most say among the group, and said to Fang Wei: "Senior, the dungeon has been cleaned up, do you want to bring the people over immediately?"
Fang Wei nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
Seeing that the leader of Hanxi Sect ordered people to take the woman to the dungeon, Fang Wei said to Hua Shi: "Let's go too."
Hua Shi acted as Fang Wei's "mount" all the way. Although Fang Wei said that he could walk on his own despite this appearance, Hua Shi insisted that it was not convenient for him to move in this appearance, and he did not have enough spiritual power to fly with a sword, so in the end he let him sit on Hua Shi's shoulder to continue on his journey.
What Hua Shi was concerned about was that Fang Wei always leaned on his shoulder habitually, but never on Lu Yao, Ji Yuan and others. This made Hua Shi feel more certain that he was still a little different from Ji Yuan and Lu Yao in his attitude towards Fang Wei.
And perhaps inadvertently, the distinction is widening.
He did not ignore the looks that Ji Yuan and Lu Yao cast at him along the way, but he was good at pretending to be blind and never asked what their looks meant, let alone had any intention of letting Fang Wei go.
Hearing that Fang Wei was going to the dungeon, Hua Shi immediately nodded and was about to take people there.
Before he could move, Jiang Tingwan said, "I'm going too."
At this time, Wen Zhong also said, "I'll go too. I'm more familiar with the dungeon here."
There was no hidden meaning in his words, but after he said it, everyone else turned their eyes to him, all filled with strangeness.
Wen Zhong: “…”
Wen Zhong's identity has been known to everyone since the battle with Huo Yuan a hundred years ago. Although the grudge between Wen Zhong and Hanxi Sect has not been completely resolved, it has been mostly revealed. This is because after Hua Shi and Ji Yuan's reinvestigation, they discovered that the former leader of Hanxi Sect actually had a close connection with Huo Yuan's Black Snake.
The reason why he planned to let Fang Wei enter the abyss of disaster was to lead to the events that followed.
Now that the truth was out, Wen Zhong was cleared of the charge of bloodlust. Even though he still couldn't get along harmoniously with the people of Hanxi Sect, no one dared to say anything more to Wen Zhong. The two sides had reached this point, and when Wen Zhong said this, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
However, Wen Zhong didn't seem to be referring to anything else. He just said, "What's wrong? Aren't we going to the dungeon to interrogate that woman just now?"
Fang Wei was the first to look away and nodded, "Not bad."
Hua Shi also said: "Let's go then."
At this time, Bai Heng, who was always with Wen Zhong, also said, "I'll accompany you."
Fang Wei glanced at Bai Heng, and then saw Yi Zhan who was behind Bai Heng also walked out: "Me too..."
Several other people spoke at the same time. Fang Wei interrupted them with amusement and took the initiative to say, "You all want to go, right? Then let's go together."
Everyone responded immediately, and many of them seemed to relax, as if they were afraid of being left behind. Fang Wei suddenly felt that the group of people he was leading were not masters of the spiritual and evil ways at all, but a group of extremely childish little ghosts.
The group of people returned to Hanxi Sect in a mighty manner, and then entered the dungeon in a mighty manner under the leadership of Wen Zhong. After entering the dungeon, Wen Zhong proved that he was indeed very familiar with this dungeon where they had lived for a thousand years. He even knew the structure of the dungeon cells and the daily shift schedules of the guards in the prison.
After the captured woman was placed in the cell, everyone began to interrogate her. The woman's identity in the organization she belonged to was obviously much more important than the spiritual object dealers they had captured before. At the same time, she was much more tight-lipped. No matter how they threatened or tempted her, she refused to tell the truth.
Until the end, Fang Wei taught Hua Shi some magic on the spot.
A magic technique that allows him to invade the opponent's consciousness when his will is weak. Although the opponent was on guard and promptly excluded Hua Shi's consciousness from his mind, this short period of time was enough for Hua Shi to sort out the information he saw.
After leaving the dungeon, Hua Shi told Fang Wei and the others what he had seen: "The people she serves are definitely not lower in cultivation than Senior Ji Yuan and I, and this organization has not only existed for the past hundred years, it seems to have existed for a long time, but what they did at that time was not selling spiritual objects."
"So the organization's trafficking of spiritual objects may not be their most important purpose." Fang Wei said, "It's just that what they want to do requires this method."
Hua Shi nodded and said, "I guess that's the case, and if that's the case, I think maybe..."
Seeing that he was about to speak but hesitated, Fang Wei took the initiative to ask after a moment of silence: "Do you think this organization is related to the original disaster abyss beast and the group of black snakes?"
Hua Shi spread his hands and said, "Although I know that everything involving these things may be too sensitive, but I think this organization is not simple. Maybe there really is a connection. I always have this guess in my mind."
Fang Wei remained silent. Seeing him like this, Hua Shi immediately asked anxiously, "Did I say something wrong?"
It was only then that Fang Wei shook her head and said, "No, your consideration is not impossible. I just think that you have really changed a lot from before."
Hua Shi quickly asked: "Has it changed for the better or for the worse? Do you like it better before or now?"
"I have become much calmer." Fang Wei said, "I don't dislike it whether it was before or now."
Hua Shi's heart was slightly moved when he heard this: "So that means you like me?"
Fang Wei: “…”
He looked at Hua Shi helplessly. Hua Shi was just trying to get an advantage with his words. He was about to return to the topic, but he saw Fang Wei nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
Hua Shi's heart suddenly started beating wildly: "You just..."
But before he could continue to ask, Ji Yuan and Lu Yao on the other end suddenly urged him, "What do you want to say?"
"So this is all you see about that woman and that organization?"
"What are your plans for the future?"
"Where are the clues? Where is that organization and who is its leader?"
So many questions were thrown at Hua Shi. Hua Shi wanted to continue asking questions from before, but now he had completely lost the opportunity. With the important matters at hand, he had to distract himself to deal with other people's questions.
Hua Shi actually couldn't answer too many of the questions. The only information that Hua Shi could see was what he said, and they had to guess the rest. But Hua Shi soon thought of a way to investigate, which was to use the power of Huiguangzhu to go to the pavilion outside the town where the woman had met someone before, and replay the scene of the woman there, so that he might be able to see something through the scene.
After suggesting this, Hua Shi did just that. Unfortunately, the Huiguangzhu didn't work well this time. Hua Shi led everyone to use the Huiguangzhu to watch in the pavilion for a long time. In the end, they only saw that the woman sat down in the pavilion when there was no one around, took out makeup and powder, and painted on her face for five minutes, and finally drew a plum blossom mark.
Everyone: “…”
The Huiguang Pearl was not able to find anything, and the group had no other way to continue the investigation, so they could only stay in the Hanxi Sect, planning to wait for the Huiguang Pearl to recover its energy and then find a way to check again. During this waiting time, the group did not rest, and continued to try to find out something from the woman.
The waiting time after using the Huiguang Pearl is twenty-four hours. After returning to the room arranged in advance by Hanxi Sect, Fang Wei saw that everyone was still following him and was about to follow him into Hua Shi's room. Finally, he couldn't help but stop everyone and asked them to go back to their respective rooms to rest.
Xuan Shuzhi was busy all day and was tired. Knowing Hua Shi's feelings towards Fang Wei, he stopped disturbing them. He told Hua Shi to take good care of Fang Wei and left.
Yi Zhan naturally followed Xuan Shuzhi, and after they left, Wen Zhong, Bai Heng and Ji Yan also left one after another.
The next person to leave was Jiang Tingwan. He stared at Fang Wei for a long while, but finally turned around and left the courtyard without saying anything.
In the end, only Ji Yuan and Lu Yao were still holding on here.
It was not until Fang Wei took the initiative to persuade them to go to rest that they finally relaxed a little, but Ji Yuan still seemed unwilling: "Do you really want to sleep with this kid?" He said this while pointing at Hua Shi.
Although he knew that the meaning of these words was very straightforward, Hua Shi still couldn't help but let his mind wander when he heard this. He couldn't help but think about it, and he blushed and his heart started beating fast.
Lu Yao also said: "Palace Master, I can also take good care of you."
Hua Shi: "No, I..."
Fang Wei looked at the three of them fighting over the baby, and suddenly felt as if they were fighting for custody of the child, which made him feel both amused and helpless.
He stopped the three people's argument, and of course he chose Hua Shi in the end.
The reason is simple, it's just because Hua Shi has the Yunxiu Pen on him, and he needs to enter the Yunxiu Pen space to practice.
Fang Wei thought so, but he couldn't ignore it. After hearing that he had made such a choice, Hua Shi beside him seemed to be so happy that his whole heart floated up, and even his smile became brighter.
