Hidden moth

Chapter 115: Quietly Falling Like Thunder

Yang Lingxi was really shocked this time and didn't react for almost two seconds.

Because these two lines of poetry, or rather, jingles, are one of the standard cuts for the "Pan Dao" of the disciples of the magic school. The seven leaves of course refer to the seven branches of inheritance, and the meaning of "one flower show" is that all magicians in the world are one family, supporting each other and making common progress.

The Four Seas is similar to the Jianghu, referring to all kinds of encounters in the world. The Thousand Flows refers to the numerous disciples of the martial arts school, and also refers to the trajectories of their activities in the world.

Qian Guran's words imply that he is a formal disciple of the sect, and is asking if the other party is a fellow martial artist?
Although Qian had been a free-spirited traveler in the past and had rarely experienced such situations where he had to answer questions, his question, "What's the next sentence?" seemed redundant. Usually, he would just need to state the question.

If the other party is also a disciple of the magic sect, those with a sense of ritual can continue with a few sentences according to the situation. It is also okay not to recite poems, just say "Nice to meet you" and then introduce yourself.

As Lao Qian expected, Yang Lingxi did have a background in the magic sect, but she was not a formal disciple of the magic sect, and her knowledge of the situation was quite limited.

She could understand the jargon of the Shumen, but she didn't expect that Mr. Qian of the company was actually a formal disciple of the Shumen. The person who assigned her here never told her about this!

Two seconds later, she finally made a decision and tried to remain calm, saying, "Mr. Qian, you are truly knowledgeable and talented. I have never heard of these two lines of poetry before."

Someone had repeatedly told her that as long as she refused to admit certain things, no one could do anything to her. But invisibly, the nonchalant attitude she had just shown had disappeared without a trace, and only uneasiness remained in her heart.

If Qian was just Mr. Qian, Yang Lingxi would not be afraid of him at all and did not take him seriously just now.

Although there are cases in this world where "a common man's anger can cause blood to splatter five steps away", the vast majority of people are ordinary people, especially those working people like Qian Guran who have achieved some status and success in the workplace. They simply do not have the courage to fight to the death.

Even if Qian was upset and wanted to use violence, Yang Lingxi didn't care too much because she had practiced it after all.

But since Qian had the identity of a sorcerer, it was hard to say what would happen. The other party had many ways to deal with her, some even beyond her knowledge.

Qian Guran ignored what she said, but just took her reaction into consideration, and then said slowly: "Yang Lingxi, the person who gave you this name may know something, but he doesn't really understand it.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be allowed to directly use the Daoist lineage as your name. Only the founders of each sect can have such a respectful title!
Your father's generation was probably a Zhiyuanke, able to come into contact with disciples of the Shumen, and hoped that you could also become a disciple of the Shumen. So you are also a Zhiyuanke, knowing about the Shumen, its techniques, and the situation of Shu practitioners, and you also know such people.

This is your fate, but it may not be a good fate.

It is obvious that you have received special training. Most people do not have your psychological quality or your thickness!

You may have practiced a certain method, but haven't reached the entry level, at least not yet. However, any method, whether you have achieved the entry level or not, is not practiced in vain.

Besides that, someone taught you something else.

Let me introduce myself. I'm a Qi Wang sorcerer, at least level three. Qi Wang is adept at observing people. I can't tell whether every word you say is true or false, but I can at least tell—what is your attitude towards me?

From the moment you walked in, your attitude was completely abnormal, at least it didn't match your apparent identity.

You weren't panicked or nervous at all. In fact, you acted a bit superior in front of me, the vice president, as if the group leader was inspecting our work. The outward panic and grievance you seemed to be putting on was all an act.

You didn't take me seriously. When facing my questioning, you were well prepared. You seemed to be able to control the rhythm. You didn't feel guilty, but rather found it funny.

I didn't follow your lead, which surprised you, but that was all I was saying. Then you started threatening me—that was your true attitude.

Regardless of whether you really want to do that, the way you look at me is a bit like a cat looking at a mouse... What does this mean? It only means that you have another identity.

I advise you to leave, and you act like you're aggrieved, but in reality, you don't care at all. You don't care about this job, you don't care about me as your boss, you just resent my meddling in your business.

You thought you were here to do a simple task, but the people who assigned you didn't tell you anything more. They taught you how to dance on the edge of a knife, but didn't tell you how dangerous it was.

Excuse me, have you ever heard of the crypt moth?"

"What hidden moth? I've never heard of it. I really don't know what you are talking about!" Yang Lingxi answered subconsciously, and then became speechless.

Qian Guran: "It doesn't matter if you don't know. You have received an email in your mailbox. It not only tells you what happened to the hidden moth, but also tells you what happened in Qiyuan recently, including the latest actions of the Shumen Zongfa Hall.

It wasn't your work email, it was your personal contact email, the one on your resume. It wasn't sent from my email either, it was from an unfamiliar account. Even if you're not a good person, I still think you deserve to know the truth. Have you received the latest instructions in the past two days, telling you to continue your ruthless pursuit and change your tactics to deal with He Kao?
Otherwise, you wouldn't have reacted so quickly just now and threatened me in that way, because someone had already taught you that, you just temporarily changed the target to me.

But the people who teach you don’t tell you that this is really courting death. They don’t care whether you live or die, they only care about whether they can achieve their goal.

I don't know who ordered you, or what your relationship is with those people, but I know that they don't care about your life or death at all. You are just a trained tool.

The person who truly has the best intentions for you is He Kao, the person you've always wanted to frame. He's the only one who would ask you if you were coerced into doing this. He truly wants to pull you out of this mess!
I believe that after what happened today, he has no intention of helping you anymore. After all, the greatest kindness in the world is not to encourage evil!

Yang Lingxi just opened her phone to read an email, but found that she couldn't lower her head. She opened her mouth several times to speak, but no sound came out.

As Qian Guran spoke, he picked up a golden paperweight from the table with his right hand and clenched it tightly, his knuckles turning white. As he did so, the collar of Yang Lingxi's shirt tightened.

She was strangled to the point where she couldn't speak, but she didn't suffocate immediately. She just felt that she could no longer breathe, her face turned red, and a sense of fear arose in her heart.

Qian Kuran's words were not empty talk. He proved his identity as a sorcerer with actual actions, telling Yang Lingxi what kind of people she was provoking and how dangerous her situation was. At least it was easy to kill her.

Seeing that Yang Lingxi was out of breath, he loosened his collar a little, and then continued to tighten it.

Qian didn't make any other moves, nor did he declare that this was the magic he was performing. He continued to stare into Yang Lingxi's eyes and said, "You can tell the person who ordered you what happened today. I'm not afraid of my identity being exposed.

The wise thing to do is to tell them that you are scared and don't want to continue working here. Just like I suggested, leave here as soon as possible. This is He Kao's advice to you - don't get involved in this mess again.

Or you can make another choice and tell me everything, who sent you and how they taught you, and try to help me find those people and find out their identities and intentions."

Having said that, Qian Guran finally put down the paperweight in his hand.

Yang Lingxi felt her collar loosen, and she was finally able to breathe normally. She gasped for air like a fish coming ashore. Her eyes were filled with fear, and after a moment she said, "Mr. Qian, I really don't know what you're talking about. What kind of email is that?"

She still gritted her teeth and refused to admit it. She probably didn't dare to admit it, but she had completely lost her confidence when she spoke.

Qian Guran waved his hand: "Well, wait until you finish reading the email, don't read it here... Get lost!"

He finally said "get out" softly, and the office door opened automatically and silently.

After Yang Lingxi left, still in shock, President Qian went to preside over a company meeting. The meeting ended at noon, but he did not go to the company cafeteria. Instead, he met Yao Shaolan in a nearby teahouse.

The surveillance record of the meeting with Yang Lingxi in the morning was not only saved in the notebook, but also sent to the law firm at the same time. The two of them made an appointment to meet at noon.

Yao Shaolan sighed and said, "You're just alerting the enemy, okay?"

Qian Guran: "The reason why the other party did this is because they can't stand the light! Sending a girl who knows nothing to use the beauty trap to calculate He Kao, on the surface there really is no flaw at all.

If that girl hadn't been so aggressive, even I wouldn't have been able to catch her. But since she's exposed a flaw, I'll use it to uncover the truth. They absolutely won't dare show their faces, otherwise why bother?
If their identities were exposed, their fate would be certain death. Even the lightest punishment would be to have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from the sect. Would Yin Mo let them go at that point? That would be no different from death.

Don't worry, they don't dare to come and deal with me directly. Not to mention whether they can get away with it, if they are not careful, their identities will be exposed... By the way, is there any situation with Xiao Miao?"

Yao Shaolan: "I was just about to say that Xiao Miao herself is fine, but her father had an accident yesterday. It was said that he fell into a ditch while riding his electric scooter and was then taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Xiao Miao rushed home upon hearing the news, taking the high-speed train... I suspect someone might be trying to figure out her identity. If that's the case, then she should be ruled out as the Yin Moe.

Upon hearing this, Qian Guran jumped up, even knocking over his teacup, and blurted out, "It's broken!"

Seeing him lose his composure, Yao Shaolan asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Don't worry, it might just be an accident. Xiao Miao's father is fine, just a minor skin injury, but it looked quite scary at the time.

Xiao Miao is fine, I asked Qian Dali to follow her secretly..."

Qian Guran interrupted her and said, "You don't know, Huang Xiaopang's mother also had an accident last month, and the situation was almost exactly the same!"
