Chapter 118 Victims Exchange Conference

The moon moves westward, the sky gradually brightens, and a new day begins.

Jishiditang, the exclusive residence of the hall master.

Lying on the bed, Liu Jingtian rubbed his forehead with his hand and felt a severe headache.

Before he could recover from his shock, there was a knock on the door.

"Master, are you getting up?"

"What's wrong?" Liu Jingtian asked.

As soon as he said this, he realized that his voice was very hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for several days.

"Master, the people from the company are leaving. Aren't you going to see them off?"

"Someone from the company?"

"Yes, the people from Nadutong Company, the competition is over, they naturally have to leave."

"Competition?" Liu Jingtian propped himself up and sat up, rubbing his forehead even harder.

His memory is a bit messy now, and he gets a headache whenever he thinks about it.

Seeing that the hall master had not come out yet, the disciples outside the door asked considerately:
"Master, is it inconvenient for you? If not, would you like me to talk to Junior Master and ask him to send it off?"

"No, I'll be right there."

Liu Jingtian said towards the door while standing up and tidying his clothes.

He remembered that he was going to hold a Qi needle competition and that he had invited people from the company, but his memory seemed to have lost track the day before the competition.

Besides, why did I hold the competition?

Many doubts popped up at once.

Liu Jingtian felt that it was very necessary for him to meet the people in the company.

……

living room.

After listening to Liu Jingtian's description, Lao Xu slammed the table.

"what?!"

Because he was too shocked, his eyes widened and the sparse hair on his head trembled.

"You don't remember what happened in the past few days?" he confirmed again.

Liu Jingtian nodded, "My most recent memory is what happened the day before the game."

As soon as these words were spoken, the reception room fell silent again. Everyone looked at each other and no one spoke for a while.

Liu Yanyan brought the zombies and sat not far from the door.

There was a glint of gossip in her eyes. She looked at Lao Xu's expression, then at Liu Jingtian's demeanor, and couldn't help muttering:

"Could it be that the hall master we have seen these days has always been a fake?"

Her mumbling was not quiet, and everyone present was an extraordinary person with excellent hearing, so they could naturally hear it.

Hearing these words, almost everyone's mouth corners couldn't help but twitch.

What a terrible guess.

Fortunately, Lao Xu quickly retorted: "Impossible."

He explained:

"On the first day, Hall Master Liu came back with us from the high-speed rail station, and the fake Hall Master also showed up."

"During the competition the next day, Hall Master Liu also signed the signature sheet. The spell was successful, indicating that his identity at the time was correct."

"On the third day, Liu——"

Lao Xu's voice stopped abruptly before he finished speaking, and his face became uglier than if he had swallowed a fly.

On the third day, which was yesterday, they did not use the "curse" or signature paper to verify the identity.

The reason that prompted him to do this was that yesterday morning, that "Liu Jingtian" took the initiative to find him and guided him to pay attention to the issue of zombies.

They shifted all their attention to the zombies and neglected to check on others.

Thinking of this, Lao Xu slapped his head in regret.

I recalled what the other party said yesterday and how he responded when I made my guess.

Lao Xu suddenly felt that it was understandable that the group of people from North China were deceived on Longhu Mountain.

With his acting skills, mentality, and brain...

Who wouldn't jump into the pit?

Lao Xu now feels that life is full of traps.

He looked at Liu Jingtian in front of him with some suspicion.

Could it be that this is also being performed?

Thinking of this, Lao Xu immediately waved his hand and called the action team member from the Fujiyama faction.

"Take out that piece of paper and have everyone present sign it."

"Okay, Brother Xu."

The paper coated with special "medicine" was handed to everyone and everyone signed one by one.

As Liu Jingtian signed, everyone's eyes were fixed on the paper, their hearts in their throats. Fortunately, no unusual light appeared, indicating that the name spell was working properly.

Liu Jingtian signed his real name.

The employee put away the paper and nodded slightly to Lao Xu.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Lao Xu finally adjusted his mentality and said his conclusion -

"The hall master from yesterday was a fake!"

"So, I suggest that we call in everyone in Jishitang who had contact with the 'fake leader' yesterday and question them."

"Let's see if Jishiditang has lost anything. Maybe that person's real purpose for coming to Jishiditang this time is hidden inside."

……

Lao Xu's suggestion was quickly responded to by Liu Jingtian and others.

Soon, several disciples who had had private contact with Lu Liang were called over.

First, it’s Lin Yin.

When they saw Lin Yin, everyone present had complicated expressions.

If nothing else, the rate of being deceived is indeed a bit high.

At this moment, Lin Yin was struck by lightning.

He looked at Liu Jingtian who was sitting in the middle with a dazed look.

"Master, weren't you the one who hosted the competition and taught me the secret techniques yesterday?"

Liu Jingtian shook his head. "I don't know either. However, according to Captain Xu and the others' analysis, it shouldn't be the case."

After hearing these words, the last bit of hope in Lin Yin's heart disappeared.

He pursed his lips tightly, clenched his hands in his sleeves, and his nails dug into his flesh.

Seeing this, Lao Xu spoke to comfort him, "Little friend Lin, you don't have to blame yourself too much."

"That person acted so well, not only you, but no one in the entire Jishidi Hall noticed it."

"Our top priority now is to find out what he did yesterday and what his purpose was."

Lin Yin nodded slightly, then he finally raised his head and said:

"Because the prize for winning the competition is to obtain a secret technique personally taught by the hall master."

"So, after the competition yesterday, the master...that person took me to the study and taught me the secret techniques."

Hearing this, Lao Xu and others immediately pricked up their ears.

It is not easy to forge a secret technique, especially the secret technique of the Xinglin lineage, which an outsider cannot even understand.

Moreover, Lin Yin's talent is already outstanding in Jishidiang, so it won't work to fool him with just a random skill.

How did the other party manage to avoid being exposed?
"Could it be that he didn't tell us that secret technique yesterday?" Lao Xu guessed.

Lin Yin had a complicated expression, "No, he really did teach me the secret technique..."

He quickly recounted what happened yesterday.

"That person first asked me to guess what the secret technique was. I guessed acupuncture, elixir recipes, moxibustion... but he rejected them all."

"He told me that for a doctor, while rare prescriptions and ingenious techniques are valuable, the ultimate skill is a sincere heart dedicated to saving lives."

"He also said that this is the most important skill passed down orally by successive masters of our Jishitang."

"No matter what your level of cultivation is, always maintain a sincere heart to save others. This is the best secret skill!"

After listening to Lin Yin's words, the reception room fell silent, and the expressions on everyone's faces became as complicated as Lin Yin's.

I have to say, this is really well said.

If you hear these words yourself, you will probably believe them.

As a result, everyone looked at Lin Yin with a little more understanding.

After a moment, Liu Jingtian sighed slightly and said:

"Although I don't remember what that secret technique is, that sentence is definitely not passed down orally by successive hall masters."

"However, this person is quite knowledgeable about our Xinglin lineage."

After expressing his emotion, Liu Jingtian waved his hand.

"Call the next disciple."

……

Soon, the next disciple who had had one-on-one contact with Lu Liang stood in the center of the reception room.

It was the disciple who was very capable yesterday and was in charge of guarding the medicine room.

At this moment, his neck shrank and he said weakly:

"Master, yesterday, you took a lot of pills from the medicine room, including Qi-Inducing Pills and Qi-Activating Pills... a total of 500 pills..."

"What did you say?!"

Liu Jingtian stood up suddenly.

 Thank you for the monthly ticket! ! Thank you! !
