Chapter 560 Pretending to be ignorant despite knowing the truth
Everyone is not stupid. Seeing this situation, whether it is Chen Baixing or Jiang Tai, or Qi Zhenzhen and Banqiu, all have stern faces.
Facing a table full of delicacies, no one picked up the chopsticks, and almost all the attention was on Su Lin.
But he didn't seem nervous at all?
What else can be done now? I can't admit it even if I'm beaten to death! If they really fight, Su Lin won't tolerate it. He doesn't have that much face with Jiang Tai.
What about Yunlan Sect? If he doesn't like it, he will destroy it.
So, Su Lin picked up the dishes and ate heartily. This scene stunned Chen Baixing and made the two Yunlan Sect disciples feel unhappy.
But without Jiang Tai's order, they didn't dare to do it.
"Haha, brother Su, you are really open-minded. I toast you a glass." Jiang Tai seemed to want to ease the atmosphere. After all, if this goes on, the end of fighting is inevitable.
After a glass of wine, he began to beat around the bush.
"What are you planning to do, little brother Su? Traveling around the North Country? I heard from my disciples before that I met you in Lanzhou City. I didn't expect that we have such a deep fate and now we meet again."
Su Lin certainly heard the danger in it, so he expressed his doubts: "Oh? Lanzhou, what is that place? I have never been there."
"Besides, there are probably not many people in Yunlan Sect who know me? Elder Jiang is getting old and confused!"
Hearing this, Jiang Tai's face suddenly changed and his brows furrowed.
He had long felt that Su Lin was a dragon among men, not simple. If it was so easy to get out of his mouth, he would not need to please him, but just take action.
Now, this made him even more panicked.
When Jiang Tai first met Su Lin in Tianguang City, he observed his cultivation. After all, for people of the same path, observing strength is the first point.
But what surprised him was that Su Lin was just like an ordinary person? No cultivation at all?
You know, when the two met for the first time not long ago, he was still a post-natal warrior. How could he lose all his cultivation in such a short time?
The only possibility is that Su Lin got some kind of opportunity and gained a powerful improvement.
"Yes, brother Su is right. My brain is too bad."
Jiang Tai said that he would punish himself with three cups, and then drank the wine in the cup. He was full of entanglement in his heart. What should he do?
From his point of view, he is now in a dilemma.
The treasure of the Seven-Colored Lotus is very important to the Yunlan Sect, especially in the territory of the Shenwu Sect. If this news spreads, I am afraid that the entire sect will be destroyed.
Compared with their strength, the gap is too big! The Yunlan Sect relies entirely on this treasure to support the scene.
But Su Lin is also not worthy of provoking. If he wants to take it for himself, he can do nothing.
So he sighed and wanted to tell Su Lin something from the bottom of his heart, "Brother Su, I won't hide it from you. In fact, we came here to investigate something."
"Oh?" Su Lin still pretended to be confused.
"Our Yunlan Sect has a treasure called the Seven-Colored Lotus. Not long ago, it was taken away by the outer disciple Shang Rushong, but he was killed in Lanzhou City, and the Seven-Colored Lotus was also robbed."
"I don't know if Brother Su knows about this?"
Su Lin immediately shook his head, looking indifferent, "What does this have to do with me? I don't have much to do with your Yunlan Sect."
Just as the two were talking about some confusing words, Chen Baixing's face was full of surprise.
He had also heard of the Seven-Colored Lotus. After all, it was very brilliant in the Northern Kingdom's border defense battle that year. Its terrifying strength made all warriors feel afraid.
But he had never really seen it!
But not long ago, it seemed that he had seen something in the hands of his eldest brother Su Lin. The lotus had colorful petals, which was very similar to the seven-color lotus in the rumors.
Could it be?
He suddenly thought that the purpose of Jiang Tai and others coming to his house today was to take back the treasure from his eldest brother!
So he immediately strengthened his defense and stared at the other two disciples of Yunlan Sect. Their strength was completely inferior to his. As long as they were solved, they could reduce a lot of pressure on Su Lin.
As for Jiang Tai, he was an existence that he could not catch up with.
"I say, Elder Jiang, what do you mean? Could it be that you doubt me?"
Su Lin's words made Jiang Tai speechless.
But at this time, the disciple behind him couldn't help it and drew his sword directly, "Third Elder, what are you waiting for?"
"It's him, Su Lin! Killing my brother and taking away the seven-color lotus, I saw it with my own eyes!"
In an instant, a murderous intent emerged from Su Lin's body, and his cold eyes directly focused on this person.
He does look a bit like Shang Rushong, but recalling it, he seems to have never seen him at that time.
Could it be that this is a provocation?
So Su Lin played along and slammed the table angrily, "Hmph, you Yunlan Sect are really going too far!"
"Why are you putting all the blame on me? Why should I steal your treasures? I have never been to Lanzhou. Is it possible that you, a famous sect, are just like this?"
Who would have thought that this would make the Yunlan Sect disciple even more excited.
At this moment, he wanted to take action immediately and kill Su Lin with his sword, but the sect's sacred object was more important. He still took the overall situation seriously?
Chen Baixing was not a pushover either. Seeing that his elder brother was threatened, he immediately kicked over the table.
The two Yunlan Sect disciples were thrown to the ground and were instantly at a disadvantage. Jiang Tai panicked and waved his hand to explain: "Misunderstanding, this must be a misunderstanding!"
After his introduction, everyone knew that this disciple was called Shang Ruzhu. Both his parents died. He was raised by Shang Rushong since he was a child, so his brother was equal to his parents.
That day, he was actually present in the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion, but he escaped because he went to the toilet.
When Su Lin and others left, he saw Su Lin's figure and guessed that he was the murderer of his brother, so he volunteered to follow Jiang Tai to find the murderer.
Hearing this, Su Lin frowned. He didn't expect that he would leave a hidden danger. It seems that he must be more meticulous in doing things in the future.
However, his words alone cannot be used as evidence.
"Humph, ridiculous! I have never been to Lanzhou, how could I see my figure, right, Baixing?"
Hearing this, Chen Baixing's somewhat stunned head actually came to his senses? He nodded immediately and patted his chest to say: "Yes! My eldest brother has always lived in my Yanyun Town, we can all testify!"
If Jiang Tai chooses to believe one person's words, then Su Lin's testimony is also reliable? This is relative.
They are in the wrong, Jiang Tai can only apologize.
"Ruzhu was too sad and lost her mind. Maybe the man's body shape is similar to Brother Su, so she admitted her mistake. Please forgive me."
