Hidden moth

Chapter 74 You're here too early

The clan's latest decision, which won't be announced until tomorrow at noon, was already causing a stir yesterday. It's like when the government releases a new policy, even before the official document is released, the grassroots are already buzzing with rumors.

After seeing off Senior Lin Qingshuang, He Kao went to the Construction Bank and then rushed to the hospital. He was delivering the property deed to Yao Shaolan. He had just contacted her, and Miao Shaolan had told him to take it directly.

What was the relationship between Miao Shaolan and Qian Guran? He Kao, Gao Xue'e, and Huang Xiaopang were all curious, but they also consciously refrained from asking. What happened between them was their freedom, so there was no need to ask too much.

However, He Kao had doubts about Lao Qian's "illness" and Lawyer Yao's identity, especially what Lawyer Yao said before they left, which was obviously problematic.

She said the doctor had instructed that Qian Guran needed to rest in his current condition and asked colleagues not to disturb him too much. Even when He Kao offered to take turns accompanying him, Yao Shaolan politely but firmly refused.

With He Kao's limited common sense, he also knows that in cases like Qian Gu Ran, it usually requires familiar people to talk to him more often every day and apply various external stimuli to wake him up as soon as possible.

Therefore, Lao Qian's condition should be a little special, and Yao Shaolan's identity should also be a sorcerer. When I met Lin Qingshuang at lunch, I found out that it was indeed the case.

Yao Shaolan was also a disciple of the Wangqi Sect, and her current cultivation level was probably that of a second-level broker. She was called Qian Guran's junior sister, but in reality, she was Qian Guran's disciple. As for the relationship between the two of them, it was a pure... relationship between a man and a woman.

This wasn't He Kao's gossip, but Lin Qingshuang brought it up on her own initiative, and then he asked a few more questions.

As a sorcerer, Qian Guran naturally wanted those close to him to learn the art, so he taught Yao Shaolan privately. Yao Shaolan happened to have the aptitude and actually got started.

There are established rules for the inheritance of martial arts between masters and apprentices, which require that the age difference between the master and the apprentice be more than 20 years. Lao Qian is only six years older than Yao Shaolan, which is obviously inappropriate.

Usually this situation is easy to deal with. You can find your master to accept you as a disciple, which is equivalent to having a younger sister as your apprentice.

But Qian Guran's master was no longer alive, so he found his uncle master and gave him a generous gift, and Yao Shaolan became his uncle master's disciple.

The master uncle was very old and passed away soon after. He did not have time to teach Yao Shaolan anything, so all of Yao Shaolan's skills were taught to him personally by Qian Guran.

He Kao brought his things to the hospital again in the afternoon. Everything was normal at the gate and in the inpatient department, and no one blocked his way. He was a little puzzled, how did Lin Qingshuang get stopped?
It is true that the elders of the clan law hall have ordered that disciples of various sects are not allowed to touch money, but it seems that no one is watching here. And even if someone is watching, how can they tell who is a disciple of a sect?

The doubt only flashed through his mind, and it was none of his business... Old Qian in the ward was still the same. He Kao took out the house deed and handed it to Yao Shaolan, and then took out the pair of gold paperweights.

Yao Shaolan was surprised and said, "Just give me the property deed. I don't need this thing."

He Kao explained, "It's like this. Please help me convert this pair of gold paperweights into cash, and all the handling fees will be paid from it.

Also, I don’t know when Lao Qian will wake up. I think the fees here are quite expensive. If there is any emergency need, I can also help.

When Lao Qian wakes up and is discharged from the hospital, you can give me whatever is left after deducting various expenses."

Yao Shaolan was surprised and said, "This is an heirloom. You are so willing to give it away!"

He Kao sighed. "It's not really an heirloom. I've never even seen it since I was a child. It's just a relic. Anything should be useful. If it's just hidden in a safe, it's as good as nonexistent."

After the recent misfortune, He Kao had a sudden realization, and he had become more open-minded. He had obtained the relics from the safe, and then he had nearly lost his life... If he was also dead, what was the point of keeping the relics?

He also felt guilty towards Lao Qian, as well as towards Xiao Pang and Gao Xue'e. But after all, Xiao Pang and Gao Xue'e seemed fine now, but Lao Qian was lying here.

Before Old Qian's accident, he hadn't forgotten to ask his junior sister to help him deal with the house issue. If he didn't do something, He Kao really couldn't get over the psychological barrier, and the most useful thing he could come up with was this pair of gold paperweights.

Yao Shaolan looked at Qian Guran on the bed, then looked at He Kao, her expression somewhat meaningful: "This morning, your company's senior leader came and gave me a 10,000 yuan red envelope as a token of consolation.

You're so good, you took out millions right away. Your friend, the money he gave you was really worth it, and it's worth all the suffering he endured. I appreciate the kindness, but I really don't need such a valuable thing..."

Having said that, it was obvious that she was going to decline. But just at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out in Yao Shaolan's mind: "This guy is very nice, very rare! Just keep the things, I like them very much."

Yao Shaolan immediately changed her tone and said, "If you trust me, just leave it here for now. I'll return it to you after I've dealt with these things. If you still want to convert it into cash by then, I can help you."

In the office on the top floor, Gu Chun asked, "Why are you so attracted to those paperweights?"

Wild Phoenix: "What a wonderful thing, especially the engraved plum branch pattern, it's so beautiful, I love it as soon as I see it."

Gu Chun jokingly said, "You really have your eye on that handsome guy. You want him and his money too?"

Wild Phoenix: "Am I the kind of person who takes advantage? If he wants to sell those paperweights, I'm willing to pay double the gold price, even if it's just for the two plum blossoms on them!" Gu Chun: "So generous! Are you willing to let him take advantage of you?"

Wild Phoenix puffed out his chest and raised his head, saying, "I'm willing to do anything worth a fortune! Seeing that he's both talented and handsome, and has excellent character, I'm willing to be taken advantage of. Don't you agree?"

At this moment, Gu Chun suddenly frowned, stood up, walked around the desk to the window, lowered his head and said, "Wan Zhongle!" Then he turned around and looked into the room, and Ye Fenghuang had already gone out.

Wan Zhongle is in his fifties, but looks like he is less than 40 years old. He has a square face, tall stature and handsome appearance. In short, he has a very good image.

He is the deacon with real power in Danding Sect. He is smart and capable. He is responsible for many affairs of the sect on weekdays, especially the management of cultivation resources such as Peiyuan Dan. Therefore, he is flattered by many people, but also envied and targeted by even more people.

Wan Zhongle knew that he was being watched by many people, and many people were waiting to find fault with him, especially at this sensitive time, but he still walked into the hospital with his head held high, and even every strand of his hair looked energetic.

As Wan Zhongle walked to the parking lot in front of the outpatient building, he was stopped by a hot woman.

Ye Fenghuang scolded, "Wan Zhongle, why are you here? I clearly sent a message that all disciples of the martial arts sects are not allowed to approach Qian Guran, and are not allowed to enter this hospital!"

Wan Zhongle was furious: "I'm here to ask for money! Since the clan law hall won't let me see you, then I'll come and ask the two elders.

My disciple Liang Kai disappeared in Qiyuan and his whereabouts remain unknown. He entered Qiyuan without permission and had no right to commit any evil, even plotting to murder Lin Hualei. I am deeply ashamed of my poor teaching.

But I sent my personal disciple, Zhao Huanzhen, to Qiyuan to investigate. Just when we had a glimmer of hope, he suddenly vanished as well. I also heard that there were many other disciples of the Shu Sect who disappeared at the same time as him in Qiyuan.

May I ask what fault Zhao Huanzhen has committed? Has the clan law hall established any solid evidence? I heard the latest decision states that if a missing disciple doesn't return within a month, their membership will be temporarily revoked. Is this fair to him?
He hadn't infiltrated Qiyuan without permission; he was carrying out a sect mission, and somehow lost contact. A disciple's whereabouts were unknown while carrying out a sect mission, and the sect's legal hall didn't even care about his life or death, and even expelled him from the sect. How could this be justified?

Of all the Shumen disciples who disappeared in Qiyuan, only Qian Guran had drifted down the river to Jinshan Temple and been rescued. But what about the others, including Zhao Huanzhen? Had they perished in the river, with no trace left?
What happened to them, and who did it, is probably the only one who knows. Of course, I want to find him and ask him for clarification. Since I'm not allowed to meet him, I'll trouble the two elders to investigate thoroughly.

If Zhao Zhenzhen died while carrying out a mission for the sect, please make a fair judgment in the sect's law hall and don't let the disciples feel disappointed!
I also know that the clan law hall has ordered that disciples of the magic sect are not allowed to enter this hospital. Now that I have entered, I am ready to be punished. I would rather be punished by the clan law hall than say this! "

Wan Zhongle stiffened his neck and spoke with awe-inspiring force. More importantly, every word he said made sense! This was probably also the sentiment of many disciples of the Shu Sect, and Deacon Wan had become their mouthpiece.

Elder Ye put his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly, "Deacon Wan may have made some mistakes, or the rumors he heard may be wrong.

When has the Zongfa Hall ever disregarded the lives of its disciples? Nor has it ever stopped everyone from investigating the whereabouts of missing disciples. The truth is exactly the opposite of what you say. Our latest decision is to urge everyone to clarify the current situation of all disciples.

Some disciples of the magic sects don’t even know where they are and what they do on a daily basis, even the sect’s stewards, their own elders, and fellow disciples. They don’t even know whether they are dead or alive!
If it weren't for the decision of the clan hall this time, who would have thought that so many disciples would be missing, with no way of knowing their situation, and even their direct lineage elders were kept in the dark!
Wan Zhongle, as far as I know, you weren't the one who reported Zhao Huanzhen's disappearance to the clan law hall, right? It was the clan law hall who notified you!

He's missing. Did the clan hall hide him? Whose responsibility is it to investigate his whereabouts? You sent him, so you should investigate thoroughly and give the clan hall an explanation.

You're the one who embarrassed yourself, yet you come to me and act like a jerk. Am I supposed to be your babysitter?"

The last sentence is in the standard style of Elder Ye that everyone is familiar with, but her words are also impeccable. Regardless of fists, only the truth is considered, and the truth seems to be greater.

Wan Zhongle obviously wasn't here to debate with her. He immediately lowered his head and said, "I was inconsiderate. If I've offended you, I'm willing to accept the punishment. But what I just said was from the bottom of my heart, and I couldn't help but say it!"

Wild Phoenix: "There's something wrong with what you said. You didn't offend me, but you violated the order of the clan law hall and misinterpreted its meaning!
I was already giving you face by letting you stand and finish what you just said. After all, both of your disciples are missing, and as their master, I have to investigate. There must be a reason for this.

But there is another thing, Deacon Wan may have forgotten, what level of cultivation are you at now?"

Wan Zhongle was stunned: "He is still a fifth-level herbalist and has not yet broken through to the sixth level."

"On behalf of the Clan Law Hall, I hereby order that all fourth-rank or higher sorcerers from all schools are prohibited from setting foot in Qiyuan in the near future. If it is absolutely necessary for them to come, they must state the reason and report it to the Clan Law Hall.

Excuse me, Deacon Wan, did you apply to the clan law hall for permission to come to Qiyuan this time? How come I didn't know about it?" As he spoke, Elder Gu Chun also came over, holding a crutch in his hand.

Wan Zhongle was startled again: "Elder Gu, that was just a temporary order. Once the clan law hall issues the latest order, there will be no such restrictions. Have you forgotten?"

The ban on fourth-rank warlocks and above from entering the Qiyuan was indeed only temporary; it didn't make sense for it to remain so forever. After the clan's latest order was announced, the previous ban was naturally lifted; otherwise, some matters would have been difficult to investigate.

Ye Fenghuang said coldly, "Deacon Wan, you're here too early, aren't you? The latest order from the Zongfa Hall hasn't been announced yet. Even if it is to be announced, it will be tomorrow!"
