My enemies became my companions

Chapter 416 Chrysanthemum Tea

Yuanfeng Building.

The crowds of people surrounded Yuanfeng Tower in circles, and the signboard of Xi Que Pavilion swayed in the wind.

The lobby was in a mess, with tables and chairs toppled over. Wei Wuque picked up a broken porcelain bowl and looked around the messy Yuanfeng Building.

He waited patiently, tapping his fingertips on the table.

The tea table made of fine palm wood had a fine crack on it, which showed that he did not have much patience.

"I never thought that my Yuanfeng Tower would welcome the distinguished guest from the Heavenly Family today. I am sorry for not welcoming you, Master."

Huang Jing walked out slowly, his face as hard as steel.

Since the people from Xi Que Pavilion surrounded Yuan Feng Tower, it proved that... they knew that Yuan Feng Tower was searching for the daughter of the Chen family.

Luo Shuo took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "Master Huang is so bold. The government needs a warrant to search people, but you, Yuanfeng Tower, are bypassing the officials?"

Huang Jing responded: "A thousand miles away, the dialect is different; the mountains and the city are different. Moreover, he is just a small thief. Why should the government be bothered?"

Luo Shuo's eyes turned cold when he heard that, and he drew his sword immediately.

The cold and sharp blade flashed across Huang Jing's face, and the martial arts masters behind him drew their swords immediately. In an instant, the swords and sabers flashed, and the situation was tense.

At this moment, Wei Wuque suddenly smiled and said, "Master Huang, don't you know that you have been fooled?"

Huang Jing frowned slightly, seeming puzzled.

Wei Wuque said slowly: "The one who took Miss Donggong away was not a spy from the Western Jin Dynasty. His surname was Min and he was once a captain of the Western Factory."

Huang Jing's face stiffened slightly, and the martial arts masters behind him were also suddenly in an uproar.

After a while, Huang Jing came back to his senses and said with a fake smile: "How can the host be sure that he is not a spy?"

“Because he gave the man back.”

Wei Wuque said word by word.

Huang Jing's face finally turned pale at this moment, his Adam's apple rolled up and down for a while, and his hands pressing on the handrail of the stairs kept exerting force, causing several cracks to appear on the yellow wood.

Just as Luo Shuo was clenching the hilt of the knife, thinking he was about to explode, Huang Jing instead showed a simple smile, clasped his fists and said:

"In that case, it was indeed our fault for not considering the matter."

As he said this, he turned around and said to the group of martial arts masters:

"Put down your weapons, everyone. Those spies are outnumbered and want to draw us into a fight so that they can fish in troubled waters. We must not let them succeed today.

Ultimately, these spies are just too cunning."

Wei Wuque raised his hand to stop Luo Shuo, and the latter loosened his grip on the knife. Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Huang Jing was really a tough guy.

The moment Huang Jing knew that Miss Donggong was sent back to Cuifeng Courtyard, his expression changed instantly, and with just a few words he turned the tense mood into a gentle breeze and drizzle.

"Master Wei, is there anything else you want to tell me?" Huang Jing turned around and asked again, "Since you and I are both trying to track down the Lone Smoke Sword, in order to avoid any misunderstandings like today, I hope we can talk about some things that can be disclosed openly."

Wei Wuque glanced at the scene in Yuanfeng Tower.
There were not many places where the spies could hide, except Gaohai Martial Arts School, Yuanfeng Tower, Chongyang Temple, and Miaoshang Temple.

Now it seems that Yuanfenglou has been ruled out as a suspect.

He thought for a moment and said slowly, "Since Mr. Huang is sincere in asking for advice, then I can tell you. The leader of this group of spies is the third in command of the Western Jin Dynasty's Supervisory Office. I don't know his name, but I know he once had a nickname in the underworld - the Many-Faced Ghost."

When the voice was spoken, neither light nor heavy, the masters in Yuanfeng Tower changed color, and the old martial arts masters like Liuyang Zhaigong frowned tightly, as if they were wearing a thousand-pound chain.

The Many-Faced Ghost was a notorious villain in the martial arts world twenty years ago. He was a bandit leader on the border of Jin and Yu, famous for usurping the throne and assassinating people. He was also very skilled in swordsmanship, and his sword was a sharp crescent-shaped sword. He could kill people like a butcher cutting up an ox. Liuyang Zhaigong vowed to wipe out the bandits in the Three Mountains and Six Roads, but because of this man, he took the life of his junior brother. When Liuyang Zhaigong stepped into the fourth rank and ordered his closed disciples to take revenge, the Many-Faced Ghost had disappeared.

I thought the Many-Faced Ghost had become a passing cloud in the martial arts world, but today everyone heard this frightening name again, and everyone had an indescribable look on their faces. ……………

Xuanfu.

The sudden change in Yuanfeng Tower did not affect Yin Weiying and Lu Ying much.

They had almost nothing to do with the matter, and were also guests of Master Jiang Xin. When the chaos broke out, they were in the backstage of Yuanfeng Building, avoiding the chaos in the lobby and returning to Xuanfu safely.

But this also made the two girls look confused, and they had no idea what was going on in Yuanfeng Building.

And they didn't find Chen Yi either.

Lu Ying was fine. She had told fortunes and felt relieved to know that Chen Yi was fine. But Yin Weiying was different. Even though Master Jiang Xin had persuaded her to return to Xuan Mansion, she was still worried. She kept telling fortunes and walking around the yard countless times. She was even more nervous than when she caught someone cheating.

She didn't dare to imagine what she would do if Chen Yi died.

Yin Weiying walked around the yard many times, her clothes swaying through the fallen leaves. She still looked calm, but her hurried footsteps could not deceive anyone. Lu Ying couldn't help but wonder at this time, was Princess Jing deeply in love with Chen Yishi?
She couldn't help but ask, "Is Daoist Brother Yin worried about him?"

The nun paused and shook her head gently, saying, "Although I am worried, I am not really worried."

Lu Ying was puzzled and asked, "How do you understand this?"

"He loves me deeply, but I don't have much love for him." Yin Weiying paused, sighed and said, "I am not worried about his safety, but I am worried that he will fail to live up to his love."

After hearing this, Lu Ying felt that this was profound. It was like the deep affection between an old sword and an old friend, yet it did not make sense. It was truly profound.

Considering that she was only three or four years older than him, but her thoughts were already half immortal and half mysterious, Lu Ying felt a sense of inexplicable jealousy.

She looks much better than me.
Somehow, Lu Ying felt that it would be better if Chen Yi didn't come back.

But things didn't go as she wished.

Chen Yi is back.

Not long after the maid reported, the familiar figure slowly walked into the mansion.

Lu Ying was just getting up to meet him, but he saw a fairy figure blocking his way, like a floating cloud passing by, and already in front of Chen Yi.

Yin Weiying looked Chen Yi up and down, smelled a little blood, and kept saying:
"What... is going on?"

"It's a long story..." Chen Yi paused and said, "I haven't seen Donggong Rushu."

When Yin Weiying heard this familiar name, her expression changed slightly. After all, she was the one who had been married to Chen Yi in the past. The nun couldn't help but feel a lingering fear when she recalled the difficulties she had experienced during those days.

"What exactly happened?" Yin Weiying calmed down and asked.

Chen Yi glanced at her.

Yin Weiying felt a sudden panic for no reason.

"What happened? Now that the matter is over, I'm going to go wash up first. It won't be too late to talk to you later."

As he spoke, Chen Yi took out a banknote from his pocket.
"She gave me ninety taels of silver."

The snow-white silver bill fell into her long eyes. The figure of the nun in white suddenly stood up, her pupils gradually dilated, as if her three souls and seven spirits left her body and traveled far away.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind and her back stiffened.

There was a teasing laugh in my ear:

"After a fight, my Qi and blood are blocked. I need to activate them. Please make me a cup of... chrysanthemum tea first."
