Hidden moth

Chapter 150 Let’s talk about sincerity and ask about fortune and disaster

He Kao tried to contact Wu Yanjun again, but the message he sent fell on deaf ears.

Jiang Daozhen’s phone was also unreachable, so He Kao had to leave him a message, but there was no reply.

Why can't I contact him? He Kao secretly guessed that the old man might be in a place with no signal, or he might be practicing in seclusion...

He guessed correctly that Elder Jiang was currently in Jinghua Cave Heaven. If anyone else had an urgent matter, they could contact the on-duty personnel at the Zongfa Hall. If necessary, the Zongfa Hall would send someone to Jinghua Cave Heaven to notify Elder Jiang.

But He Kao couldn't do that, whether as a so-called secret disciple or as a hidden moth, it was inappropriate.

Old Qian was reliable. He managed to contact Wu Yanjun's uncle Ye Hui, asked him roughly what had happened, and then quickly told He Kao.

Wu Yanjun returned to his hometown of Nanhua for the Lunar New Year, and didn't return to Taigu until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Junior apprentice Ye Yuxuan was clamoring to go to Acheng. She'd watched a lot of short videos online during the Lunar New Year holiday and heard it was quite fun there in the winter.

But no one around her was willing to go with her and endure the cold, and since the Lunar New Year had just passed and everyone was busy with things, she decided to go alone. Xiao Wu was worried and went along too.

Ye Yuxuan is said to be a second-level Mo Ke in Ruweimen, and she has practiced before. Ordinary people are no match for her. What is there to worry about?
Wu Yanjun might be worried that his junior sister is too naive. People around her always coax her into doing things, and if she goes out alone, she might be cheated by bad people... On the other hand, he also wants to find an opportunity to be alone with his junior sister.

They played in Acheng for two days, and then went to a place called Ice and Snow Village in the mountains near Yimei, which is a tourist attraction developed in a forest farm.

Ye Yuxuan wanted to experience a farmhouse homestay, ride a horse-drawn sleigh, and then wander around the snowy forest.

It was while touring the Ice and Snow Village that Wu Yanjun had a conflict with other tourists... Unexpectedly, the other party's family members were also disciples of the Shumen, but Wu Yanjun was not aware of this in advance.

He is a sports student with a bad temper. He has even been in jail before. He might have injured or scared someone. In short, it was a misunderstanding... Ye Hui has already arrived in Acheng and is trying his best to negotiate with the other party.

Why was the negotiation held in Acheng? Because both parties involved in the conflict had already returned from Bingxue Village. The other party was negotiating with Ye Hui, trying to see how much "sincerity" Ye Hui could show to "settle the matter."

As for Wu Yanjun, perhaps he was scared after getting into trouble, so he went into hiding. Maybe he wanted to wait until his uncle settled the matter before showing up again.

Anyway, that's all Old Qian had learned. Ye Hui was a bit vague about the details. If Qian Guran hadn't specifically asked him about it, Ye Hui probably wouldn't even bother to mention it...

Ye Hui also told Qian Guran not to publicize the matter. He was currently negotiating with the other party to resolve the issue. It was just a conflict caused by a misunderstanding, and he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, otherwise it would not be good for Wu Yanjun.

After hearing the news about Qian Guran, He Kao asked, "Old Qian, what do you think?"

Qian Guran pondered and said, "Something must have happened to Xiao Wu! I think he and his junior sister were set up, and even Ye Hui was deceived. The other party came for Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu ran away and has not been found yet.

So the other party was deliberately negotiating with Ye Hui, with the purpose of stalling for time to catch Xiao Wu and not wanting to spread the news for the time being. Ye Hui was probably also being manipulated by the other party..."

He Kao: "You didn't mention what I saw?"

Qian Guran: "Of course I didn't mention it! You saw someone trying to arrest Xiao Wu, and said that Xiao Wu had violated the Communist Party's order to kill him. I guess that's how Ye Hui was caught.

If Xiao Wu really violated the communist order, and the matter became public, he would be dead! Ye Hui's daughter was also present, and she might be implicated as well.

So before he figured things out, or reached an agreement with the other party, Ye Hui had no idea what was going on, and he wouldn't say anything to an outsider like me.

He Kao: "Who did Xiao Wu have a conflict with?"

Qian Guran: "Ye Hui didn't tell me."

He Kao: "Didn't Ye Hui think that there was something wrong with the other party?"

Qian Guran: "So what if he could have thought of it? Now it seems that he is in the wrong, because it was Xiao Wu who caused the trouble and he even ran away!
Besides, the sorcerers of the Ruwei Sect deal more with things than with people, so when it comes to calculations, they are not as good as other sorcerers! Ye Hui obviously didn't want to talk about this matter, and it was impossible for him to tell me the truth.

If I hadn't broken through to the fourth level and become a high-level sorcerer, and if I hadn't met several elders from the Ruwei Sect at the Zongfa Hall and contacted Ye Hui through them, I guess he wouldn't want to bother with me. "

He Kao: "The disciples of Ruwei Sect don't scheme? That's not necessarily true. The Huiming Shi family is not a good family!"

Qian Guran: "Those are two different things, and we can't generalize them...Isn't that the point?"

He Kao: "What do you think is the key point?"

Qian Guran: "Of course the truth is the most important thing! The most urgent thing is to find Wu Yanjun and find out what happened."

He Kao: "What else?"

Qian Guran: "And Ye Yuxuan, she should also be present at the scene, so the situation she knows is very important. Ye Huifei went to the Northeast, probably to protect his daughter first."

He Kao: "I see. Since I've already encountered someone chasing Xiao Wu, it means Xiao Wu should be nearby. I should try to find him first."

Qian Guran: "This is not right, please don't force it!"

He Kao: "Don't worry, I won't force you. Do what you can."

Qian Guran: "Let's contact Elder Jiang first!"

He Kao: "I have sent him a message, but he hasn't replied yet."

Qian Guran: "Where exactly are you? Do you want me to come over and help you?" He Kao: "Just your words are enough! There's no need for you to come over. Even if you rush over here, it's too late. I can find someone to help me in Acheng..."

After hanging up the phone, He Kao didn't want to just wait there. After thinking for a long time, he finally dialed Xiao Guangnian's number.

He told the second uncle that he had gone into the mountains to camp and ski yesterday. He didn't know how far he had skied, but he found two suspicious people.

He suspected they were poachers, so he crept over and overheard a conversation...

This statement gave a seemingly reasonable explanation for the incident, because the second uncle did not know that he was a hidden moth. He also told the second uncle that Xiao Wu was his friend and relayed the information that Qian Guran had found out.

He Kao didn't want to trouble Xiao Guangnian, so he hesitated for a long time before making the call. Ye Hui and others happened to be in Acheng, and he also wanted to ask his second uncle to help him find out the details.

Although they are both fourth-level sorcerers, Xiao Guangnian's qualifications, seniority and background in the sorcery are much better than Qian's. With him stepping forward to intervene, those people will probably not dare to act rashly.

On the other hand, Xiao Guangnian is a fourth-level charlatan, so he should be able to tell fortunes. Based on the known information, He Kao also wants to ask him for help in analysis.

"Your friend, Mr. Qian, makes a reasonable analysis. There's definitely something fishy going on here.

Let's first assume that the Xiao Wu you mentioned really violated the common order to punish him, but both parties in the conflict hid it. Not only did they not report it to the clan hall, but they also didn't tell anyone. This is a problem.

The first possibility is that the other party uses this as a threat to demand enough benefits from Ye Hui.

The second possibility is that Ye Hui used threats and bribes to coerce the other party into keeping the secret and not telling anyone else.

There is a third possibility: both Wu Yanjun and his junior sister violated the joint execution order, or perhaps it was his junior sister who violated the joint execution order. To protect his daughter, Ye Hui wanted to use Wu Yanjun as the scapegoat, and the two sides were negotiating terms.

This was Xiao Guangnian's analysis. He Kao shook his head and said, "I think these three possibilities are unlikely. But the two people I met in the mountains are very problematic!"

Xiao Guangnian: "The premise of my analysis just now is that someone has truly violated the Communist Party's order to punish them."

He Kao: "I don't think Xiao Wu would violate the Communist Party's order to kill him. He must have been set up by someone."

Xiao Guangnian: "Do you not believe it, or do you not want to believe it?"

He Kao: "I neither believe it nor want to believe it."

Xiao Guangnian: "What do you want me to do for you?"

He Kao: "I want to find out what happened. Please help me analyze it. Ye Hui and his daughter are currently in Acheng. They are said to be negotiating with the other party. If possible, I would like to ask you about the situation."

Xiao Guangnian: "Anything else?"

He Kao: "I can't get through to Uncle Jiang, and I didn't get a reply to my messages. Is there any way you can contact him? If you can't reach Uncle Jiang, it would be fine if you could contact Elder Li of Xingshen Sect and tell him about this."

Xiao Guangnian: "I can help inquire and contact you, but have you thought it through?

Xiao Wu is your friend. If he really violated the Communist Party's order to kill him, and then fled in fear, his uncle-master tried to save his life and is negotiating with the other party, hoping to negotiate a condition in exchange for not pursuing the case.

But if you do this, the truth might be revealed, and Ye Hui won't be able to save him...Are you sure you still want to do this?"

He Kao was silent for a moment before answering, "I'm sure! My purpose isn't to shield anyone. I want to live with understanding, and I want to die with understanding. And I prefer to believe Xiao Wu."

Xiao Guangnian: "What if he really violated the Communist Party's order to execute him?"

He Kao gritted his teeth and said, "Then punish him however he should be. But we must find out the truth first, and then the clan law hall will issue an order to execute him!"

Xiao Guangnian seemed to let out a long sigh and said only one word: "Okay!" Then he asked, "Things haven't been figured out yet, but you seem very confident in Xiao Wu?"

He Kao: "The two people I met in the mountains are the real problem. One of the sorcerers accepted a foreign disciple, but he kept it a secret and deceived the clan law hall.

And from what they said, it was obvious that they were using the Communist order as a cover... They had no intention of letting Xiao Wu go. The reason they wanted to capture him alive was because they wanted to ask him something and then silence him.

Do you want me to trust such a person instead of Xiao Wu?"

Xiao Guangnian pondered, "That makes sense... If someone deliberately set this up just to target a Level 2 Mo Ke with no background, why would they go to such great lengths to do so?"

He Kao: "I want to know why too."

Xiao Guangnian: "How did you and Xiao Wu meet? What do you know about him? Tell me everything."

Despite his anxiety, He Kao patiently explained how he and Xiao Wu met. He relayed to Xiao Guangnian all the stories Xiao Wu had shared with him, especially his encounter with his master, Zhang Yanfei, in the detention center.

Xiao Guangnian remained silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking or calculating. Finally, he sighed and said, "His meeting Zhang Yanfei was both good fortune and misfortune; his confession to you about my junior sister's theft of the pendant was both a blessing and a good fate.

Whether he survives this disaster safely depends on you. Do whatever you want to do!

These words sounded profound and mysterious, but Xiao Guangnian's expression was very solemn. After ending the call with He Kao, he immediately picked up the phone and started calling people.
