In the room, Qian Lin had taken off the veil covering her face, revealing her peerless beauty that could make fish sink to the bottom of water, geese drop to the ground, and the moon hide in shame on flowers. The little girl couldn't help but widen her eyes, completely forgetting that she was pretending to be faint just now.
"What's your name?"
"Qian Qianqian..." The little girl named Qian Qianqian answered softly as she carefully sat up from the cushion.
"Nice name." After taking a sip of the medicine, Qian Lin nodded slightly, then pointed around and said to Qian Qianqian, "You can stay here for the next few days. I will let you go back when this is over."
An expression of fear suddenly appeared on Qian Qianqian's face. She had seen this kind of situation many times in storybooks. No one who heard such words ever returned alive!
In all likelihood, they were silenced!
"Well, I will never tell anyone about you, Miss, so can you just let me go?"
"No, the Fire Lotus Sect already knows that you have been captured. If you suddenly go back at this time, it will definitely attract their attention, and then you will most likely be captured by them." Qian Lin paused, giving Qian Qianqian some time to think.
Should he be captured by the Fire Lotus Sect and questioned, or should he stay here and live a peaceful life with good food and drink for a few days?
This doesn't seem to be a difficult choice for Qian Qianqian.
Of course I chose to go back...
"And I don't really trust your ability to keep secrets. After all, you saw some things you shouldn't have seen. To be on the safe side, you should stay at my place for a few days."
Gulp! Qian Qianqian shivered in fear at Qian Lin's words. Although Qian Lin's tone was very kind when he spoke, she heard the hidden murderous intent in these soft words.
What a typical smiling face with a dagger hidden in the heart! This young lady is just like what is written in the storybook, two-faced, eating children and not spitting out bones!
"I'll let you go when this is over, but you should stay here honestly for the next few days. Don't wander around. I live next door, so don't think about doing anything." Qian Lin pointed to an area blocked by a screen not far away. "Don't be surprised if you hear any strange noises. Everything is normal."
Strange noises?
Qian Qianqian was just about to ask Qian Lin to explain what constituted a strange noise when she heard the faint sounds of whipping and begging for mercy.
It seems like someone is being tortured!
Is this the strange noise you mentioned, young lady? This is a bit too hardcore!
"Don't worry, it will be over soon. This is the only time our place is a little lively." Qian Lin's smile was still so kind, and his fingers were rubbing on the cup, but there was a hint of coldness in his voice, "If it's lively for a while longer, then I can only do it myself."
Shivering violently, Qian Qianqian suddenly felt that it might be better for her to continue lying down and pretending to be dead. The white-haired lady in front of her was simply a ferocious beast. Even the big villains in the storybooks did not bring as much pressure as she did!
"Miss, there is progress!" A voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"explain."
Wow!
The tightly closed door was opened, and a masked man in black, who gave off an aura of someone who was not to be trifled with, stood respectfully in front of the door. There was a little blood on the whip in his hand, which made Qian Qianqian feel terrified.
"That guy confessed." The man in black reported concisely. After saying this, his eyes fell on Qian Qianqian again, "Does this little guy need me to take care of him?"
Qian Qianqian turned on the vibration mode again.
Fortunately, the next moment, Qian Lin rejected the black-clothed man's opinion, "No, this Miss Qian is my guest, don't be rude."
Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately looked away.
Qian Lin had already stood up and rubbed Qian Qianqian's head with his hand, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."
There is such a group of vicious men who kidnap people in broad daylight. Do you call them good people? Qian Qianqian bit her lip tightly, her big watery eyes full of suspicion and disbelief.
But looking at Qian Lin's pair of crystal clear blue eyes, and feeling the chill rising involuntarily in her heart, Qian Qianqian nodded stiffly.
Miss, whatever you say is what I will just nod.
Well, not bad, this little guy is quite cooperative. Qian Lin nodded with satisfaction, "Stay here, I'll be back soon."
After saying this, she walked out of the room, closed the door, and followed the man in black to the execution hall not far away.
The envoy of the Nan family who was captured not long ago was subjected to harsh treatment by Hehuan Valley here. Now, it seems that he can't hold on any longer.
Originally, Qian Lin was planning to search the soul himself, but Mr. Undercover felt that it was not decent to let Qian Lin do such a small thing, so he suggested that the elites of Hehuan Valley give it a try first to see if they could use physical means to pry open the mouth of the Nan family envoy.
It turns out that these elite troops from Hehuan Valley are still somewhat useful when dealing with weaklings.
Entering the eerie and terrifying punishment hall, Qian Lin saw at a glance a bloody man who had been beaten to a pulp, while the undercover agent was standing aside, writing something in a small notebook with a serious expression.
Hearing Qian Lin's footsteps, the undercover agent immediately put away his notebook and greeted Qian Lin respectfully.
"This man has confessed everything. Just as you expected, he accepted the order from the Nan family's patriarch and deliberately let things slide during the negotiations."
"He didn't lie?" Qian Lin frowned as he looked at the miserable appearance of this Nan family member. These people in Hehuan Valley were too disgraceful in their behavior. They had to change their ways in the future.
"I'm sure of that, I'm not lying." The undercover agent nodded seriously. It was impossible for this cultivator, who had barely reached the Body Tempering Stage, to lie in front of a master like him. Moreover, there was no contradiction in what he said. It was impossible for him to make up a lie with such perfect logic.
The fact is that the Patriarch of the Nan family is the biggest traitor. All the competitions and being forced were just a show staged between him and the Huolian Sect!
The purpose is to sell the Nan family for a good price!
"How many people in the Nan family know about this? Do all the Nan family members know about it, or is this just the personal behavior of the Nan family head?"
"Only the Patriarch of the Nan family and his cronies know about this. No other member of the Nan family knows about it." The undercover agent shook his head. The Patriarch of the Nan family did not have complete control over the Nan family and it was impossible for him to tie the entire Nan family to his chariot.
For example, Miss Nan Xiao from the Nan family knew nothing about this matter.
"In this way, we have some room for maneuver..." Qian Lin narrowed her eyes, and a plan slowly took shape in her mind. "Since one family head is unwilling to cooperate, let him step down and replace him with a family head who is willing to cooperate with us."
……
"Junior Sister Ye, your torture technique is quite proficient..."
"Thank you for your praise, Senior Sister. I still have a lot to improve on."
"You two stop bragging. What are you going to do with this guy? Just leave him in the wilderness?" Senior Sister Xiaosi asked in a dissatisfied tone while carrying a large sack containing the person.
Ye Qiuhan nodded quickly. This guy from the Fire Lotus Sect had already told them everything he knew. It was impossible for them to take him back to their residence now. So the only way was to let him sleep well here for a few days.
"Well, I hope this unlucky guy doesn't get eaten as a snack by some spiritual beasts in the southern border. He hasn't received a formal trial yet." Xiaosi clapped her hands and said with a relieved look on her face after raising the sack with both hands and throwing it into the nearby dense forest.
Although this Fire Lotus Sect monk did not know that the person he was collaborating with was a monk of the Demonic Path, in fact he still became a person who colluded with the Demonic Path. Although his crime was not punishable by death, he could not escape the punishment of being alive.
This time, suffering is considered a punishment.
"But the young master of the Fire Lotus Sect actually didn't collude with the demon sect. Then how dare he fight with the Sword Sect's sister Ye?"
Hearing Senior Sister Xiaosi's question, Ye Qiuhan shrugged. Perhaps it was because the Young Master of the Fire Lotus Sect did not collude with the evil sect that he dared to fight with Ye Xin.
Apart from the fact that the Fire Lotus Sect used its power to suppress others, which was a bit unkind, there seemed to be no problems in other areas.
In fact, using power to suppress others is not a big problem. This is a struggle between two forces in the southern border, not a game of house.
"Maybe he really thinks Ye Xin is slandering him, but he doesn't know that his men have been bribed by Hehuan Valley. In fact, there is nothing wrong on both sides." Ye Qiuhan sighed. If both sides were a little more restrained, this fight would not have happened.
But if you expect a sword sect cultivator to restrain himself when encountering a demon... well, you might as well hope that a thunderbolt will suddenly fall from the sky and strike the demon to death.
However, the fact that the young master of Huo Lian Sect is fine does not mean that the entire Huo Lian Sect is fine. It is recognized by the world that the speed at which He Huan Valley corrupts people is fast. Even the confidants of the young master of Huo Lian Sect have been bought by He Huan Valley. Is it possible that the other cultivators of Huo Lian Sect are all innocent?
A little thought will reveal the answer.
I'm afraid that all the people in the Fire Lotus Sect are traitors from the Hehuan Valley.
"According to what this guy said, Hehuan Valley seems to be very concerned about this matter. There are several masters on standby nearby. Even the Hehuan Valley cultivator who contacted him revealed that Hehuan Valley has arranged a Venerable here." Senior Sister An frowned. She smelled a storm coming. This battle for the treasure is definitely not as simple as it seems.
"When communicating with the Nan family before, the Grand Master of Hehuan Valley also said that they have a venerable who can support the Nan family. This should not be a lie."
"Senior Sister An, how many venerables are there in Hehuan Valley?" Ye Qiuhan's focus was not on any conspiracy or intrigue. What she cared more about was who the venerable of Hehuan Valley was.
This question stumped Senior Sister An. After thinking for a long time, she gave an answer that she was not quite sure of.
"If we count the leader of Hehuan Valley who was killed by Venerable Bi Bo three years ago, there should be three Venerables in Hehuan Valley, right?"
In Hehuan Valley, the sect master and the great elder are in competition with each other. Both of them are venerables, but Venerable Huanyue has never been famous for well-known reasons.
In fact, most people don’t even know this venerable, let alone classify him as part of the Hehuan Valley camp.
"Then there are only two now..." Ye Qiuhan's eyes brightened. The great elder of Hehuan Valley is now in the northern border and it is impossible for him to appear here. Then, there is only one Hehuan Valley Venerable who may appear in the southern border, right?
Isn’t Qian Lin’s sister Yue Huai the venerable of Hehuan Valley?
Moreover, she did bring Qian Lin to the Southern Territory three years ago. Now this venerable is secretly interfering in the affairs of the Fire Lotus Sect and the Nan Family. Does this mean that Qian Lin is actually nearby?
"As long as I can find Yue Huai, I can find Qian Lin!" Ye Qiuhan has already established an equation in her mind. She feels that she is only one step away from finding Qian Lin!
...Speaking of which, if I spread the news of my presence here and let the people of Hehuan Valley know, with my special identity, this news will definitely reach the ears of Yue Huai very quickly. With my relationship with Qian Lin, maybe that venerable will take the initiative to come to me? As his thoughts opened up, Ye Qiuhan immediately had a good idea.
It is very troublesome to go find Qian Lin by yourself, but it is not a troublesome thing to let Qian Lin find you on his own initiative.
"Senior Sister An, Senior Sister Si, I have an idea!" Ye Qiuhan suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly.
"Oh? What's the idea?" Senior Sister An was frightened by Ye Qiuhan's suddenly louder voice.
"We will go directly to the Fire Lotus Sect tomorrow and tell them what we have discovered, so that they know we have been targeting them!" Ye Qiuhan expressed all his thoughts. "As for whether they believe it or not, that is their business."
"Won't this alert the enemy?" After hearing Ye Qiuhan's idea, Senior Sister An disagreed. Wouldn't it make the traitor in Hehuan Valley hidden in the Fire Lotus Sect alert if they visited him openly like this?
What we want is to alert the enemy, Senior Sister. Ye Qiuhan wanted to say so, but she couldn't say that she just wanted to lure the Venerable from Hehuan Valley over, right?
So, it needs some minor modifications.
"The three of us alone cannot deal with the Hehuan Valley hidden in the dark, so we have to put things out in the open and let the Fire Lotus Sect join in dealing with the Demon Sect. After all, they don't dare to collude with the Demon Sect in public, right?" Ye Qiuhan's eyes rolled and he gave the reason he had just prepared, "The Hehuan Valley hidden in the dark is difficult to deal with, and our goal is to drag it into the sunlight!"
298. Acute Perception
"Ah, yeah, I get it. There is actually such a thing..." The Fire Lotus Sect's young master, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, kept nodding his head like a little chick, which was in sharp contrast to his arrogant appearance a few days ago.
The number of grandmasters accompanying him has changed from one to two. The grandmaster genius from the Fire Lotus Sect has already arrived here and is ready to participate in the next competition.
This time, the visit of the three Yao Chi people also reminded the young master of the tragedy a few days ago. At that time, he thought that the visitor was only a half-step master and there was nothing to be afraid of, so his attitude was a little arrogant.
As a result, he was almost chopped to death by someone's sword.
Every failure makes one wiser. At least in the next few days, this young master will not dare to act so arrogantly. Before, a half-step grandmaster could beat him half to death. Now there are three grandmasters visiting him. If he continues to seek death, he will really die.
After hearing Ye Qiuhan's words, the young sect master's expression changed slightly. He did not suspect that the three Yao Chi cultivators were deceiving him. After fighting with the sword cultivator a few days ago, he had some doubts in his heart.
Logically speaking, a sword cultivator wouldn't do something like framing someone, right? Could it be that there was something wrong with his subordinate?
As a result, before he had investigated thoroughly, several girls from Yao Chi took the initiative and laid all the facts in front of him. Now he had no way to refute and could only stand at attention and take the beating.
"That scum who colluded with the evil sect proved your innocence, so we came to find you." Ye Qiuhan took off his disguise and looked at the young master. The expression on his face was probably relief?
Hearing this, the young master's expression became even more strange. He didn't know whether Ye Qiuhan was scolding him or praising him.
His trusted subordinate betrayed him and colluded with the evil sect, but he was completely unaware of it and got into a conflict with the monks of the Sword Sect in order to protect this traitor. He was almost killed by a single sword. This deal was really too much of a loss.
Damn it, don't let me find that bastard! The young master had a grin on his face, and he had already thought of a hundred ways to kill that traitor.
This traitor is a bastard. If we don't kill him to set an example, where will the prestige of the Fire Lotus Sect be? Where will my own prestige be!
"We have found a person who was bribed by Hehuan Valley, which means that there must be more such people on your side. This is your internal affair, and it is not convenient for us to interfere. Therefore, you, the young master, need to pay more attention to this matter and don't let things develop to an irreversible point."
What this means is that this matter is still relatively small right now, and I'm giving you, the Fire Lotus Sect, a chance to clean up the internal situation yourselves. If you can't clean it up, then Yao Chi doesn't mind doing it for you.
The young master quickly responded: "Okay, I will send someone to check immediately and make sure all those termites are caught!"
At this time he could only answer like this. There were three masters standing here, and they would only say this to give him face.
If I were to be shameless, the outcome would probably not be as simple as being stabbed by a sword.
"With the Young Sect Master's assurance, we will wait for good news." Ye Qiuhan nodded slightly, revealing a satisfied expression. "We are now living in this place. After you catch the scum who colluded with the Demonic Path, you can come here to contact us. When it comes to dealing with the Demonic Path, you people in the Southern Territory may not have enough experience."
The young master nodded repeatedly, as docile as a big yellow dog.
After explaining this matter, the three girls from Yao Chi did not stay at the Huo Lian Sect for long. They left the Huo Lian Sect’s base directly without saying another word.
After watching the three Yao Chi masters who came with ill intentions leave, the young sect leader finally breathed a sigh of relief. He almost thought that he was going to die in this place.
"Young Master, these three monks from the holy land are very powerful. We cannot go against them." The Grand Master who had been accompanying the Young Master bowed his head and whispered to him.
This time he expressed his attitude clearly and rarely, and was also telling the young master that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.
The Fire Lotus Sect is, after all, just a local tyrant, just one of many local tyrants. When facing a behemoth like the Yao Chi, it is lucky that they can barely save face.
"I know, I know. Did our Fire Lotus Sect treat these bastards unfairly? They actually sold our Fire Lotus Sect to the Demonic Path." The young sect leader took a deep breath and growled through gritted teeth, "Investigate them one by one and find all those traitors!"
"it is good!"
……
The news that the Fire Lotus Sect had begun to investigate the traitors who were colluding with the Demonic Path took a whole day to reach the ears of Hehuan Valley, and one detail in the news immediately caught Qian Lin's attention.
A very beautiful Yao Chi master named Ye?
Hiss... Could it be Ye Qiuhan? Why is she here?
