The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 67: A Confusing and Complicated Situation
Chapter 67: Chapter 67: A Confusing and Complicated Situation
Hmph!
At this moment, a cold snort suddenly came from the sky. Immediately, ripples appeared in the void as Gao Xuan walked out slowly from the opposite space with his hands behind his back.
He looked indifferently at those scarlet chains, slowly raised his hand, and a dazzling golden hand, as bright as the scorching sun, suddenly materialized from the void, covering the sky and slapping down directly.
The golden light was dazzling, illuminating the entire sky like the hand of heaven.
Those chains shattered instantly upon contact with the golden hand.
"Did I let you escape?" Gao Xuan spoke, his voice resonating like a great bell, reverberating through heaven and earth, filled with majesty and dominance.
As he closed his hand lightly, the golden hand instantly locked the entire void. Following that, a figure in a black robe struggled violently as he was forcibly pulled out.
Watching the scene unfold before them, Zhou and Yan Xiaohu were shocked.
Wait, what was happening now?
It wasn’t Gao Xuan who was trying to kill them; instead, he was the one rescuing them.
Shu-shu-shu! At this moment, Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang and Mo Xingjian, along with others, arrived swiftly.
"Are you alright?" Mo Xingjian immediately asked the two of them.
The two shook their heads, then looked up at Gao Xuan in the sky.
"Senior Brother, I’ll leave the interrogation to you!" Gao Xuan, holding the man in black, smiled at Cao Zhengyang.
Cao Zhengyang also looked at Gao Xuan, then nodded slightly. He flicked his finger, and the mask on the man in black fell off instantly.
Seeing his true face, Cao Zhengyang was immediately filled with rage.
"Cao Wei, Deputy Director of the Spirit Field Department, I didn’t expect it to be you. This truly disappoints me!" Cao Zhengyang roared with fury.
At this moment, Mo Xingjian quickly gave Zhou and Yan Xiaohu a look.
Realizing what was happening, the two immediately stepped forward and bowed to Gao Xuan.
"Thank you for saving our lives, Master!"
Gao Xuan looked at the two and smiled slightly, "No worries. Back in the Exchange Hall, I noticed someone was targeting you. But that person was cautious, and I couldn’t lock onto him right away."
"So I took you both around, timing it for the most relaxed part of the afternoon to give him a chance to act. Unexpectedly, he really took the bait."
Mo Xingjian showed gratitude, "Thank you so much, Senior Brother Gao."
"No need for such courtesy between us, brothers. Since I happened to be there, well then, now that the matter is resolved, I’ll be going first. The rest is up to you!"
Gao Xuan bowed to the two and then stepped into the void and left.
"Master, this—"
Zhou had just begun to speak when Mo Xingjian immediately made a silencing gesture and then looked at Cao Zhengyang.
Cao Zhengyang, holding the assailant, was also frowning, staring in the direction where Gao Xuan had left.
"Could it be... I guessed wrong?"
......
That afternoon, someone brought a Core Disciple token to Little Spirit Peak.
"Brother Zhou, Senior Sister Lu heard that you were attacked and was very worried. She wanted to come see you immediately, but the Sect Leader did not allow her to leave freely, so she sent me with this token, hoping to add you as a friend and chat."
Looking at the token being handed over, Zhou immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.
That girl was now the treasured little sister of Divine Peak’s few senior brothers. Especially since reaching Foundation Establishment, the Sect Leader seemed particularly concerned about her.
Even for small matters like entering a Pocket World, when Supreme Elder Duanmu Shu was present, they were not at ease and came personally to oversee.
Now, I am like a clay Buddha crossing a river, unable to protect myself, being watched openly and covertly by many.
Zhou could almost imagine the scene.
In the room, Lu Yaoyao holding the token, her slender fingers dancing quickly over it, sending him messages, looking lively and expectant.
If he replied, five muscular senior brothers behind the window would be cracking their knuckles in jealousy.
If he didn’t reply, she would look dejected, shedding a few tears, making those five muscular brothers even more intimidating.
What does this mean? Look down on our little sister?
She asks you are you there? Have you eaten? Are you sleeping? What are you doing?
Why aren’t you replying?
Don’t you know how sad it makes our sister?
Remember, even if you’re eating or sleeping, as long as she sends a message, you must reply immediately.
What? You really started chatting with her?
Not even you can see yourself in a mirror, how can a peeping maniac like you be worthy?
Thinking about this, Zhou shivered.
Despite their life-saving bond, better avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Tell Junior Sister Lu, I am socially anxious, timid, and don’t like adding friends. Also, I’m fine, she can rest assured... Third Senior Brother, there’s a toilet, can you stop peeing under my tree!"
Zhou shouted anxiously to Yan Xiaohu.
Yan Xiaohu shook himself off and awkwardly walked over.
"I was just checking if you were okay. You really won’t add her as a friend?" Yan Xiaohu asked, looking at the Divine Peak disciple leaving.
Zhou shook his head.
Yan Xiaohu didn’t say much, but his eyes lit up as he looked at the hen pecking at the ground.
"This hen you’ve raised isn’t bad, its feathers are shiny. How about not raising it anymore? We’ll stew it with ginger, pepper, aniseed, and fennel to calm our nerves!"
Yan Xiaohu licked his lips, looking at the hen.
Zhou instantly pushed him out.
"I’ll warn you, don’t get any ideas about it. Go back, it’s getting dark, and I don’t host guests!" Zhou said.
Yan Xiaohu clicked his tongue, "So stingy, it’s just a hen. Alright, you owe me ten meals at the Jade Dining Hall."
"When did I owe you?"
"You saved so much money this time, shouldn’t you treat? The Thunder-Invoking Talisman was my idea, and you kicked me on the thigh, it’s bruised purple now. Don’t believe me? I’ll pull my pants down and show you."
"Get lost!"
...
After sending off Yan Xiaohu, Zhou immediately activated the barrier.
After feeding the hen some spirit stone powder, he recalled the events of the afternoon, still feeling a bit apprehensive.
"The one who made the move wasn’t Master Gao Xuan, but a deputy director of the Spirit Field Department. Judging by his cultivation, he was at least in the Nascent Soul Realm. What I can’t understand is, why did he come to save me?"
Zhou could almost confirm that if they had waited a little longer, or with Gao Xuan’s ability, he could have silently locked down the area, watching as they were killed by the undercover agent.
After which, when the Sect Leader and others arrived, they could have caught him on the spot.
At that point, the two of them would be dead, and he wouldn’t have to expose himself.
It would have been a perfect plan.
But instead, Gao Xuan appeared in time and saved the two of them.
Why on earth?
Clearly, the note he left for me was still "Substitute Ghost."
Zhou’s head hurt from thinking. He took out a box and looked at the ten Thunder-Invoking Talismans inside, deep in thought.
The Talent Skill "Daily Reflection" hadn’t been used today. He had originally wanted to examine the broken sword brought from the Grotto Heaven Stone Mill, but current matters seemed more urgent.
Zhou immediately began the identification.
[Advanced Thunder-Invoking Talismans: These are ten high-quality Thunder-Invoking Talismans. By infusing them with spiritual power, they can attract the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth. The released power of thunder can cause great harm to enemies, whether in single or group attacks, they can exert excellent effects.]
Looking at the feedback information, Zhou felt even more puzzled.
These talismans had not been tampered with by Master Gao Xuan, and their quality was quite good. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"I can’t understand it, really can’t!" Zhou scratched his head, unable to figure it out.
