Chapter 168
Not many people paid attention to the look of the clerk opposite Wanjietong, only Mo Lou and the two people behind her saw it.
However, although they felt that the worried look was a little strange, they did not think much about it.
After all, they also have their own goals to achieve.
The young store manager being invited up by Han Jue actually facilitated their actions.
The three of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
The next second, a female cultivator who looked quite flamboyant came into the shop, with two bodyguards who looked like wood behind her. She immediately pointed to the current chief steward of Tianwen Pavilion.
Eleven naturally would not refuse the customer, so he took the customer and his companion behind him and walked towards the workshop.
She did not notice that two tiny magic weapons as small as insects were slowly floating up in the distance and heading towards Tianwen Pavilion.
She also asked caringly: "Are your two companions okay?"
Eleven looked at the two people who sat directly on the sofa as soon as they entered the room, looking dazed.
Mo Lou's heart subconsciously tightened, but then he still spoke with an impatient attitude.
"They just don't have the energy. They just spent the whole morning walking around the streets with me and they ended up like this."
Eleven immediately looked at the two people on the sofa with sympathy.
This is really suffering.
The two people who didn't know that they had become the objects of sympathy were controlling the magic weapon from a distance. Fortunately, they had practiced it before. They felt a little dizzy and even wanted to vomit at the beginning, but now they have become quite skilled in controlling the magic weapon.
"It's just a little expensive." Lin Zhu transmitted the message into the secret passage.
This kind of magic weapon that allows cultivators to attach their spiritual consciousness to it is really quite expensive. Moreover, these magic weapons can also break through some protective arrays, so the price is rising rapidly.
If they hadn't made some money from the events in Country A some time ago, they probably wouldn't even be able to afford it.
Lin Zhu sighed and thought.
"It's fine as long as it works. You know the protection of Tianwen Pavilion. That woman installed dozens of protective arrays in Tianwen Pavilion as if those protective arrays and alarm arrays were free. She was crazy."
Long Feng couldn't help but complain when he said this: "A small sect that has two or three sets is already a very powerful sect. She actually has dozens of sets."
'It's probably because Han Jue has some problems with his cultivation. He is only at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Stage. Although it seems sufficient, he is already two hundred years old.'
Lin Zhu stopped talking after he finished speaking. He and Long Feng had already arrived inside Tianwen Pavilion and quickly flew up the stairs that the young store manager and Seventeen had just walked up.
Fortunately, they were quick, and Tianwen Pavilion really liked to be mysterious, so they finally caught the moment when Seventeen opened the door for the young store manager.
They were about to rush forward, but looking at Seventeen in front of them, they hesitated.
They also knew Seventeen's strength, especially since he was now valued by Han Jue.
Although the impression Han Jue left on them has now hit rock bottom, they have to admit that Han Jue is really good at selecting people.
No matter whether it is Eleven or Seventeen, these two people are completely devoted to Han Jue.
Let’s not talk about Eleven. Without Tianwen Pavilion, Eleven would have died long ago.
Seventeen of them were almost snatched by Han Jue from the Kongtian Sect - at that time he was still called An Qi.
At that time, the Kongtian Sect originally planned to make full use of Seventeen's resources because Seventeen's strength had declined.
However, within one day, An Qi turned into Seventeen the next day.
The Kongtian Sect was naturally very angry after being slapped in the face and losing all its disciples, but Han Jue had a special status after all, so people from other realms also supported him.
In the end, Han Jue got the leader of the younger generation of the Kongtian Sect.
But they don’t know if it was their illusion, they always felt that the Seventeen on the opposite side looked even more powerful than before.
Just as they were hesitating whether to go forward or not, the young store manager suddenly turned around and glanced at Seventeen, blocking Seventeen's sight while attracting his attention.
Although it was only a moment, the two battle-hardened men immediately rushed into the room controlling their magic weapons.
They did not act rashly, but just huddled in the shadows near the door.
Long Feng tried hard to calm his breathing, but Lin Zhu seemed to be in a bad mood.
But Long Feng could also understand. After all, the enemy was right in front of him. It was simply a fantasy to ask Lin Zhu to control his emotions.
Fortunately, Lin Zhu calmed down quickly and his breathing became quite restrained.
If they went straight to Han Jue's table, they would be too conspicuous and the two magic weapons might be discovered.
After the young store manager came in, the two of them followed his back and began to control the magic weapons, sticking closely behind him.
However, following the shop manager's footsteps and after passing through one curtain after another, they finally saw Han Jue.
Han Jue looked even paler than when they had seen him at the previous conference.
Of course, the conversation between the two also fell into their ears.
"Nice to meet you, Pavilion Master Han. Just as the rumors say, your attire alone can make people recognize you as a hermit."
The young store manager flattered him rather halfheartedly, and Han Jue was of course still the same as before, wearing his black gauze eye mask, with only his light-colored lips showing.
This time, the eye mask is embroidered in the same color and bordered with gold, which looks mysterious and gorgeous.
And that snow-white hair was decorated with all kinds of hair accessories, which looked quite expensive.
This also made Lin Zhu jealous. He bought this magic weapon because he was really short of money, while the leader of Tianwen Pavilion looked quite wealthy.
The young store manager continued, "...Today is really my lucky day. I was saying a few days ago that I wanted to meet you to see if you could help me with my fortune telling. Now it seems that the Pavilion Master is destined to be with me."
The young store manager said this with a smile on his face, and wanted to move forward.
Unfortunately, Pavilion Master Han waved his sleeves and with very gentle force, pushed the young store manager onto a chair that was more than three meters away from the desk.
Han Jue also said: "Sit down, you are right."
It wasn't until the young store manager sat down that the two realized that Han Jue was right about it being fate.
After they came to their senses, the two noticed that the current situation between Han Jue and the young store manager looked like the Milky Way, which made the two people disguised as insects a little anxious.
Although Mo Lou was holding on, she could only delay for half an hour at most. Any longer would arouse suspicion. They had to stick the magic weapon under Han Jue's desk within this half hour.
But there was no point in them getting anxious now, they could only watch the young store manager talking with a grin on his face while Han Jue just fiddled with the immovable planetarium on his desk.
They had come and seen it when they were scouting the site before, and they roughly knew what the other things were used for, but the planetarium seemed to be welded and was fixed on that one constellation.
I originally thought that it was a bad one, but today it showed some signs of loosening.
However, the young store manager didn't seem to care much. He looked around curiously and even wanted to get down from his chair to look at other things because Han Jue couldn't see him.
"Mr. Sheng, please take a seat."
The two did not expect Han Jue to speak directly, but Mr. Sheng? Didn’t the young store manager say his last name was Wen?
It's really a fake name...
Long Feng and Lin Zhu thought about it.
However, the store manager's subsequent actions surprised them both.
After hearing the words "Mr. Sheng", the young store manager put away his smile and began to gather spiritual power in his hands, like a cat with its fur standing on end.
It was not until Han Jue "looked" at him again that the young store manager seemed to come back to his senses and looked at Han Jue with a playful smile again.
"Master, what are you talking about? Is there anyone here with the surname Sheng?"
The young store manager said this, but the two people who were close to him noticed that the young store manager had begun to tremble.
But Han Jue seemed not to have heard it and repeated again: "Mr. Sheng, please sit down."
They looked at the young store manager whose expression froze for a moment, then they sat down on the chairs.
After the young store manager sat down, he did not give up and said with a playful smile: "Master, although you called my name wrong, I don't blame you. Can you help me see my future career and financial luck?"
Han Jue didn't say anything immediately. He just gently fiddled with the planetarium in front of him.
What made Long Feng and Lin Zhu feel strange was that the planetarium was originally loose in Han Jue's hand. They didn't know whether Han Jue had touched some mechanism just now or something went wrong. In any case, the planetarium could now rotate smoothly.
After a long while, the Snow-haired Pavilion Master spoke softly in a low voice.
"If this mission is accomplished, then the achievements will be even greater..."
The young store manager immediately realized that his goal would definitely be achieved this time, and a smile appeared on his face.
But the Pavilion Master's second half of the sentence followed, causing the small shop owner to immediately lose the smile on his face.
"——After achieving fame, one will lose what is great."
The young store manager almost jumped up from his chair, his mouth opening and closing. From the perspective of Long Feng and Lin Zhu, he looked like he was going crazy.
Fortunately, this person managed to control his temper.
"——Master, can you explain this? How could I lose something important after I became successful?"
In the end, the tone of the young store manager was quite bad, but Han Jue on the opposite side was still not angry. He just looked at the young store manager deeply and then said.
"One general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of men."
The young store manager was really angry now, and looked at Han Jue with a rather unfriendly look.
"So if I want to be successful, I will cause the suffering of others?"
But the Snow Hair Pavilion Master shook his head: "It is inevitable that he will not be successful."
Now everyone could see that the young store manager was about to be driven crazy by the words of the Snow Hair Pavilion Master.
Even Long Feng and Lin Zhu were quite confused.
No matter how the young store manager asked, the Snow-haired Pavilion Master did not give any useful words. At most, he revealed that the young store manager would be very successful in the future.
This made the young store manager even more uncomfortable. What brilliance? He just wanted to know what he would lose.
“…This is a necessary price to pay.”
The Snow-haired Pavilion Master finally said this, but the young store manager didn't know what he was thinking of and his expression softened for a moment, then he returned to his playful look.
However, Long Feng and Lin Zhu felt that Han Jue was lying again.
Lin Zhu had been in a bad mood since he came in, and this time he accidentally revealed a little bit of his aura around the young store manager.
Fortunately, Lin Zhu quickly mediated the situation, but...
"Shua——" The Snow-haired Pavilion Master, who had been sitting in his seat and ignoring the young store manager's harassment, suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Long Feng and Lin Zhu.
He seemed to have sensed something, and then Long Feng and Lin Zhu felt a spiritual pressure spreading throughout the room.
Long Feng and Lin Zhu suddenly felt their heartbeats quicken.
They tried their best to hide behind the young store manager, trying to avoid the divine sense detection, but Han Jue did not give up, and his divine sense was getting closer and closer to them...
"Ah! Just tell me what the price is that I have to pay, or I won't be able to sleep tonight!"
A voice suddenly rang out in the room, causing Han Jue's consciousness to stop suddenly. He sat in his original position looking a little at a loss.
The shop manager who made the voice took a few steps forward and put his hands on Han Jue's desk.
Long Feng and Lin Zhu reacted as quickly as possible, followed immediately and came directly to the table.
They quickly put the magic weapon in the shadow corner.
And withdraw the spiritual consciousness as quickly as possible.
However, when Lin Zhu withdrew his spiritual sense, he looked at the shop manager behind him for some unknown reason.
——The young store manager had his hands behind his back, raising his thumbs.
It was a gesture of appreciation.
*
"Are you two fishing up there? If I hadn't pretended to be a naughty lady, you two fools would have been discovered long ago."
Mo Lou sat in the teahouse, gnashing his teeth and scolding the other two people.
God knows how embarrassed and nervous she was at that time. She had to pretend to be a brainless young lady in front of Eleven, while using her spiritual power to make the two of them move without being noticed.
I'm so busy.
However, these two people just went up to put up a magic weapon and it actually took half an hour.
This made Mo Lou grit his teeth even more.
After hearing what Mo Lou said, Long Feng and Lin Zhu also expressed their own difficulties.
After listening to this, Mo Lou said: "...You guys are just going to put up a magic weapon, why are you so nervous?"
Having said this, Mo Lou still stopped her previous complaints.
After all, it is really dangerous for these two people up there.
but……
“…The young store manager should have been helping us when we left.”
Mo Lou said, stroking his chin.
Long Feng thought it was just a coincidence, but Lin Zhu, who actually saw the gesture, nodded and said.
"He should be helping us. Once is a coincidence, but twice in such a short period of time, is it still a coincidence?"
Lin Zhu said seriously.
After hearing this, Long Feng also frowned.
They all had doubts in their hearts, but when they pretended to be normal customers and came to the store, they found that the young store manager who had returned was slumped on the sofa behind the counter as usual. He looked quite lazy.
This allowed the three of them to temporarily put aside their doubts. After all, they had not yet figured out why the young store manager wanted to help them.
Long Feng and Mo Lou gave up, only Lin Zhu felt that the identity of the young store manager must be extraordinary.
"Of course it's not easy. Have you ever seen anyone give out 100 mid-grade spirit stones as pocket money? Although this amount of money is nothing to Pavilion Master Han, I have only touched it once in my life, a few years ago."
Mo Lou said enviously.
But this is just a joke to liven up the atmosphere.
After several days, the spiritual power of the two magic weapons was almost exhausted. Mo Lou took the two magic weapons back immediately while Han Jue, Long Feng and Lin Zhu were out for a meeting.
——I just felt a little tired while flying, and a little dizzy and wanted to vomit.
However, this crooked route does fit the appearance of this magical insect, so it can be considered a blessing in disguise.
And today they came here just to hear what the two surveillance cameras recorded.
Yes, these two insect magic weapons are actually a monitor and a recorder. Although they can only record the perspective under the table, Han Jue's voice can still be heard.
Under the influence of spiritual power, the two insect magic weapons began to play what they had recorded in the past two days.
In the early stage, it was just a conversation between the shop manager and Han Jue, and it didn't sound like there was anything worth recording.
Only Lin Zhu felt that the conversation between the young store manager and Han Jue was full of profound meaning.
"No matter how deep the meaning is, it has nothing to do with us. What we are doing now is just to seek justice for ourselves. It is best not to involve others."
Mo Lou said with a frown.
After hearing what Mo Lou said, Long Feng and Lin Zhu nodded impatiently, and then began to use their spiritual power to drive the magic tools to quickly get through the meaningless conversation.
Soon, after a series of barely audible conversations, they used their spiritual power to jump to the next day, and finally they heard a different voice.
[“--Ajue, have you found that star?”]
*
"Stars? What stars?"
Mo Lou asked subconsciously, but soon realized that what they heard was just a recording, so he didn't say anything else. He just listened to the sound with a frown, but kept thinking in his heart.
The name Ajue is quite intimate. There is no one around Han Jue who can call him like that. Even the leader of the Huanhai Sect only calls Han Jue his son or nephew.
Han Jue seemed to nod, and the other person spoke again.
[“It’s good that you’ve found him. Are you not worried now? You even came down to earth to look for him. Now that you’ve found him, you can come back with peace of mind, right?”]
go back?
Could it be that Han Jue was going to abandon Feng Chao's affairs and hand over all the management to Bai Fenglin?
The fact that the leader of Tianwen Pavilion introduced a little emperor as his disciple to a mortal had long been spread throughout the entire cultivation world. Mo Lou naturally knew about it, but Mo Lou always felt that the person opposite him did not mean that.
——Her intuition told her that at least the place they were returning to was not their world of cultivation.
Mo Lou looked at Long Feng and Lin Zhu standing beside him. They both had the same suspicion in their eyes.
And this time Han Jue seemed to shake his head.
From their perspective, they could only see the area below Han Jue's waist and abdomen, and they could only judge Han Jue's actions by the sound of the friction between his clothes.
This time, Han Jue's shaking head seemed to anger the other person, and the other person's voice suddenly became angry.
[“Why are you still worried? The savior has been found, and you told him the prophecy. You can retire now. Don’t tell me you are still worried about the false prophecy you made before.”]
“!!!” The three people present opened their eyes wide instantly.
They really didn't expect to get the evidence so easily. They thought they would have to fight a protracted battle this time, but they successfully got the evidence the first time.
The recording continued to play, and the person on the other end spoke as if he was disappointed in his friend.
[“——That’s what the high-ranking officials in the cultivation world want to believe. You’ve already exposed your flaws to them clearly, but what can you do if they would rather believe you?”]
At this time, Han Jue spoke up for the first time: [“But they are almost reaching a consensus and may want to go to war with the mortal world.”]
This made Mo Lou frown again. She didn't know that their cultivation world was going to go to war with the mortal world. If this was true, then in the coming period of time, the prices in the cultivation world would definitely increase rapidly. Even if he had the Nushan Sect as his base, the sect would not have an easy time.
Thinking of this, Mo Lou couldn't help but look up at Lin Zhu and Long Feng. The two of them acted quite calmly, and it seemed that they had known about this for a long time.
But they have been together for half a month, why not inform her about this?
But then Mo Lou shook his head, thinking that it was wrong for him to do so. The other person was not related to her at all, so why must he inform her about this?
[“Let’s start a war! This prophecy itself is in their best interest. Didn’t you see that the disciples who came back from Country A didn’t say anything? According to what Sen Wan said, it’s still unclear whether you can sit here peacefully now.”]
[“They have clearly realized the capabilities of the mortal world. Given time, they could become a threat to the cultivation world. If it weren’t for the mortal world’s heavenly laws stopping them, they would have already sent out dozens of spirit transformation masters to turn the mortal world into their slave world.”]
The other person spoke as if he was trying to persuade Han Jue not to put too much psychological burden on himself, which made the people present look a little strange.
——It felt really strange to hear the guys whose lives were changed by a piece of criticism being advised by another person not to be soft-hearted.
Mo Lou's expression was even more strange. After all, judging from this conversation, it seemed that there were too many things she didn't know.
And after all, those powerful people are all righteous people. How could they do something that only evil cultivators would do?
Long Feng and Lin Zhu didn't react to the last sentence, they already knew it.
...After all, the talents in the mortal world are truly coveted.
Fortunately, they quickly adjusted their mentality and realized that the previous prophecy was not something Han Jue thought up by himself, but was directed by the person on the opposite side. Now the three people present frowned.
Unexpectedly, a third person appeared, and it seems that he is the mastermind behind the scenes...
Han Jue was silent for a long time before speaking again.
[“I… just want to make fate take the best path.”]
The person on the other side was silent for a long time and then said.
[“…But are you sure that the person whose fate you changed is really willing to thank you?”]
The three people present became more and more silent. This conversation contained too much information.
Han Jue seems to be able to really see the fate of others, but he will not tell the truth, but will change their fate at will.
All for the sake of a vague destiny and a better path.
For a moment they didn't know whether they should hate Han Jue, but in the end the pain they suffered in their childhood prevailed.
——Since this comment is false, they need to know what their original fate was.
But before they started discussing how to deal with Han Jue, they heard another person in the recording say something.
[“Okay, let’s not talk about this annoying thing. When will you come back? I’m still waiting for you to attend the wedding. By the way, I can celebrate my escape from the sea of suffering. I finally don’t have to worry about that psychopath entangled with me.”]
The man opposite said in a nonchalant manner.
But what he said the next second made the three people's eyes widen instantly.
[“——It’s a good time to take off your broken eye patch. No one here knows you, so you don’t have to pretend to be blind.”]
