Chapter 365 Topology Bureau
Yun Qingqing took a few steps with the sword in hand, and the light in the corridor dimmed.
The originally long and straight corridor suddenly became blurred for a moment. When everything became clear again, there were several more forks in the road ahead.
Yun Qingqing stopped and slowly looked around, only to find that only the third elder was left behind her.
She didn't feel anything about it, so she withdrew her gaze and without hesitation chose a fork in the road and walked in.
The third elder quickly followed, looked at the little girl's back and hesitated for a moment before finally speaking:
"Miss Yun, what sect are you from? Who is your master?"
Yun Qingqing walked forward a few steps in silence. Just when the Third Elder thought she was not going to answer, she spoke in a calm voice:
"Tianyi Sect, my master is Zhang Yunqi."
The third elder was stunned for a moment, and said with a complicated expression:
"Miss Yun, please stop joking. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. Aren't you afraid that telling such a lie will affect your Dao heart?"
Yun Qingqing paused, turned around and raised an eyebrow to look at the Third Elder:
"What do you mean, Elder? Why do you think I'm lying?"
The third elder said speechlessly:
"We are all from the Xuanmen sect. Miss Yun must know that a small sect like Tianyi Sect is not even qualified to participate in the Xuanmen Conference, let alone give you so many spiritual weapons. Don't make fun of me."
Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly and asked softly:
"Are you saying that there really is a sect called Tianyi Sect?"
“…” The third elder gave her a speechless look.
He said that this girl was talking nonsense. Sure enough, she had never even heard of the inconspicuous little sect like Tianyi Sect. She simply made up the name of the sect!
He was just complaining in his heart about this little girl's deception when he suddenly saw Yun Qingqing turn around and stand still, asking seriously:
"Elder, do you know where Tianyi Sect is located?"
The Third Elder was stunned again, and while wondering why she asked this, he shook his head and said:
"I just happened to hear about this small sect that has no achievements, and I don't know where it is."
"...Oh." Yun Qingqing didn't ask any further questions. She turned around calmly and continued walking forward.
The Third Elder felt that she was being secretive and was talking nonsense because she didn't want to reveal her sect. He felt unhappy and simply stopped asking questions to avoid embarrassing himself.
He was behind Yun Qingqing and did not notice the subtle changes in her expression.
Yun Qingqing had chewed over the words "Tianyi Sect" in her mind many times. Her thoughts were churning, but she finally suppressed the distracting thoughts in her mind and focused her attention on the matter at hand.
Xiao Changheng was still waiting for her to beg him, so now was not the time to think so much.
She walked straight for a while, then suddenly stopped and turned to face the wall.
The third elder was stunned and immediately became alert.
He really wanted to ask what was wrong with the wall, but as an elder he couldn't see any problem at all, and he had to ask a little girl for help. It was really embarrassing, so he could only suppress the idea.
But Yun Qingqing raised his sword and chopped it straight towards the wall.
"Hey, you..." The third elder's eyelids twitched, and he quickly raised his hand to stop him, but it was too late.
There was a flash of sword light, and Yun Qingqing had already chopped several times horizontally and vertically at an extremely fast speed.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang, and although there was no damage to the wall in front of him, the entire space shook.
The third elder didn't feel that he blinked, but it really felt like a blink of an eye. Where there should have been a wall in front of him, there was actually a passage!
He looked at Yun Qingqing in shock, only to see that her expression remained calm as she strode into the new passage, sword in hand.
…
The First Elder and the Seventh Elder walked forward along the corridor for a while, and then stopped almost at the same time.
The Great Elder turned around and looked at his junior brother, his face solemn and said:
"Something's wrong here. We've been tricked."
The Seventh Elder nodded expressionlessly:
"Um."
"..." The Great Elder rubbed his forehead and decided not to beat around the bush with the Seventh Elder. He asked directly, "Kaiyang, you have done the most research on the ancient Qimen Dunjia games, but have you ever seen a game like this?"
The Seventh Elder nodded:
"Yes."
The Great Elder: “…”
I've seen you before, but what is it?
Talking to this junior fellow student really tests one's patience.
The Great Elder took a deep breath.
He exhaled again, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and asked:
"So, Junior Brother Kaiyang, please explain clearly, what is this situation? Can you solve it?"
"Topology Bureau." The Seventh Elder quickly said a name, but then hesitated in a rare moment.
He frowned and thought for a while before saying:
"I don't know how to solve it."
The Great Elder: “…”
He was speechless when he suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.
Although Seventh Junior Brother Kaiyang has some problems with his brain, his talent and attainments in Qimen Dunjia are undoubtedly the highest among the elders. Even he can only see what the current situation is but cannot solve it. This is a big problem.
I'm afraid only the head brother can find a solution, or the one who has come out of seclusion...
The Great Elder was thinking solemnly when he heard Elder Kaiyang say in a muffled voice:
"We can give it a try."
He came back to his senses, sighed and asked:
"How long will it take?"
Elder Kaiyang was silent again, and after a while he whispered:
"If everything goes well, ten days."
“…”
The corner of the Great Elder's mouth twitched.
"So...what if it doesn't go well?"
"One season at most will be enough." Kaiyang's voice was flat.
The Great Elder looked up at the sky in silence.
He also said, “One season, that’s all!” Does he understand the seriousness of the matter?
Let alone a season, according to the current situation, even if everything goes smoothly, it will take ten days to escape, and maybe something earth-shattering will have happened in the palace!
But when he looked at the Seventh Elder's face, which was calm and deep in thought, he knew that it was useless to tell him all this, as he was already immersed in deduction.
Maybe this junior brother is happy with his current situation.
The Great Elder took another deep breath, walked forward and patted his junior brother on the shoulder:
"Kaiyang, you work hard, the faster the better."
The Seventh Elder nodded seriously: "Yes."
He completely failed to notice the Great Elder's expression of despair.
In the current situation, Seventh Junior Brother cannot be relied upon, and the same is probably true for the other elders.
But just because he couldn't do anything didn't mean there was no hope.
There's also the head brother who's in seclusion in the tower, and the ancestor...
Although the old ancestor has not been out of seclusion for many years, no movement in the entire Seven Star Palace can be hidden from his eyes.
Right now, it would be best if the little girl made some big noise again. Tianxuan Peak would definitely attract his attention, and he would take action then.
As he thought of this, he felt a little relieved when he suddenly heard a loud noise.
The elder was startled:
"What's going on!"
The Seventh Elder, who was concentrating, suddenly changed his expression:
"Solved."
"...What?" The Great Elder didn't react.
The Seventh Elder emphasized again:
"Topology Bureau, solved."
