Chapter 188
The old man was very happy.
Lin Jinyan opened the note and glanced at it, her cold face instantly filled with shock.
Wu Gang looked at her with a smile and said, "I didn't make a mistake, this kid's talent is far more abnormal than I thought."
Lin Jinyan stared at the few short and sloppy lines of handwriting and nodded in agreement.
The content above is:
"The real culprit of the Juyanmen case is a magic ape from the Fantasy Realm, who has been killed. The missing team has been killed and no bones are left.
The body of the magic ape is in the outer area of the miasma forest. You find someone to bring it back. I still need to go deeper and sharpen myself."
Wu Gang said: "You don't have to worry about him now, right?"
Lin Jinyan said "hmm".
Seeing her absent-minded look, Wu Gang couldn't help laughing: "So, you admit that you were worried about his safety just now?"
Lin Jinyan realized that she was being tricked.
Facing Wu Gang's ridicule, she was too lazy to pay attention.
It's enough to know that Lu Ren is not in danger.
"Nothing, I'll go first."
"Wait a minute." Wu Gang stopped her.
Lin Jinyan looked at him with a puzzled look.
Wu Gang hesitated for a moment, but still said what he thought.
"You have seen Lu Ren's talent. I think this guy is no worse than that Sikong Luan, and you should have a good impression of him."
"I don't..."
Wu Gang raised his hand to stop him: "Don't rush to deny it. I have watched you grow up all the way. I can be regarded as half of your brother, right?"
Lin Jinyan nodded gently and agreed with this statement.
At the beginning, she insisted on joining the Demon Suppression Division, and almost no one was optimistic about her.
Only Wu Gang agreed to let her stay and become a formal Demon Suppression Guard against all odds.
During this period, Wu Gang also guided her several times.
Lin Jinyan was able to master the third-level swordsmanship in advance in the Kaimai realm, and Wu Gang accounted for at least half of the credit.
It was he who shared his personal experience of how to break through the realm and how to comprehend the third-level martial arts with Lin Jinyan.
The latter was originally a proud girl of heaven. With Wu Gang as a guide, she was like a fish in water and made rapid progress.
"Since you recognize me as your brother, I have the obligation to consider your lifelong affairs. Although you have never said it clearly, I know that you have never accepted this marriage with the Governor's Mansion.
You had no choice before, but now it is different. You have Lu Ren by your side.
I have only met him once and don't know much about him.
But I know you. You can come to me for his safety, which means you must care about him in your heart."
Lin Jinyan's eyes dodged and remained silent.
Wu Gang continued: "Lu Ren is just born in poverty. He has come to this point in a short time. I can say responsibly that he is the one with the highest ceiling among all the geniuses I have seen!
In time, he will surpass Sikong Luan and even surpass the Governor's Mansion.
He can be a good match."
Lin Jinyan still remained silent, her thin lips were tightly pursed, and they were a little pale, which showed how hard she was trying.
"I know you are worried about the engagement. You are afraid that the governor will punish your Lin family if you resist the engagement, right?"
Lin Jinyan's eyes moved slightly and she nodded gently.
Wu Gang pondered for a moment and said, "There is still time before the Tianjiao Hunting. It depends on how well Lu Ren has been through the trials during this period.
When he comes back, I will give him the position of Demon Suppression Envoy. With this status, he will be qualified to have a face-to-face conversation with Sikong Luan.
At that time, I will give him another spot to participate in the Tianjiao Hunting.
If he is competitive enough, he can at least show his talent in public, not to mention defeating Sikong Luan.
If you are favored by a Jindan strongman and accepted as a personal disciple, you two will have a backer who can compete with the Governor's Office.
No matter how domineering the Governor is, he still has to give face to the Jindan strongman, and your engagement with Sikong Luan will naturally be cancelled."
After listening to Wu Gang's analysis, Lin Jinyan's eyes flashed with a hint of expectation.
But she still looked calm and unperturbed.
"I still have a mission to perform, so I'm leaving."
Watching her turn and leave, Wu Gang couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"I didn't expect she would be shy sometimes..."
He put the note on the candle and burned it, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh: "Lu Ren is so lucky, if they can succeed in this in the future, I must sit at the head table."
Then, he called a group of people together,
Led by Lieutenant Guo Qi, a total of 20 to 30 people went to the place mentioned by Lu Ren to transport the corpse of the demon ape back.
His original intention was really just to let Lu Ren investigate the identity and whereabouts of the real murderer, and then he would take action himself after getting the news. Who would have thought that this kid would take care of the job alone...
..........
In the mountains, clouds and mists are shrouded, and the fairy air is curling.
The sun shines through the clouds and mists, shining on rows of exquisite and gorgeous buildings.
This is the Muyang Sect, one of the top sects in Tianchenzhou.
As a famous place for cultivation, the Muyang Sect is a place that countless martial artists from humble backgrounds dream of joining.
Up to now, the entire Muyang Sect, including registered disciples, has a scale of more than 10,000 people, comparable to a small city.
At this moment, in an elegant practice room, a handsome and extraordinary young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes is sitting cross-legged.
His name is Li Yan. He is one of the disciples taught by the sect master and the man Zhang Lanyue has been thinking about.
In order to become famous in the upcoming Tianjiao Hunting, he has been practicing hard in seclusion during this period, but his progress has been slow.
In the final analysis, it is difficult for his heart to remain absolutely calm, and there always seems to be some distracting thoughts disturbing him.
"Young Master?"
The vicissitudes of life voice of an old servant came from outside the door.
Li Yan opened his eyes and said expressionlessly: "What's the matter?"
The old servant stood respectfully at the door and whispered: "The news from the county city said that Miss Lan Yue was captured."
Li Yan's heart was slightly shaken, and he asked coldly: "Who is so bold?"
"It is said that he is from the Demon Suppression Division, and he is a six-star lieutenant."
Li Yan thought for a moment, and a name blurted out: "Yuan Shi?"
"Not Yuan Shi, but a newly promoted six-star lieutenant of the Demon Suppression Division. There are only a few pieces of information about this person. It seems that he was hidden very deeply by the Demon Suppression Division before, and only recently began to slowly emerge."
Li Yan pulled the corner of his mouth disdainfully.
"Didn't Lan Yue say she was going to hunt down a lotus demon last time she came back? How did she get caught by the people of the Demon Suppression Division?"
"Miss Lan Yue's crime is committing a crime in the street, intending to assassinate the young master of the Zhao family, one of the four major families."
Li Yan frowned: "Why did she kill the young master of the Zhao family? Did she make her unhappy?"
"Reporting to the young master, Miss Lan Yue did not kill anyone, but just used the young master of the Zhao family as a threat."
Li Yan's brows deepened: "Since she didn't kill anyone, wouldn't it be enough to let the Demon Suppression Division release her?"
"But... the attitude of the Demon Suppression Division is very firm. Our people have come forward to negotiate, and even the county governor has come forward in person, but they still refuse to release her."
"What about the crime? You can't be convicted based on the one just now."
"This old servant is not sure." The old servant paused for a while and suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, sir, Qin Zhen and several inner disciples went with Miss Lan Yue to hunt down the Lotus Monster."
"Where are they?"
The old servant said in a trembling voice: "They...are all missing."
Li Yan ended his retreat and pushed the door open, exuding a bone-chilling aura.
"You mean, Lan Yue's arrest is related to Qin Zhen's disappearance?"
"I dare not make any rash comments, but this matter is indeed strange. Qin Zhen's master, Elder Liu, has already gone to see the sect master."
"Heh, I didn't expect that old guy would still care about his own disciples."
"No, Elder Liu's magic mirror was borrowed by Qin Zhen. Now Qin Zhen is missing and the magic mirror is missing. Elder Liu is anxious about this matter."
Li Yan sneered: "I really didn't misjudge him. If the magic mirror was not missing, he probably wouldn't say a word."
"Sir, what should we do now?"
"Where is Lan Yue now?"
"Miss Lan Yue..."
"Just tell me."
"She is locked up in the prison of the Demon Suppression Division. No one is allowed to visit her."
Li Yan's pupils dilated slightly, and a burst of anger erupted from them.
"What qualifications does the Demon Suppression Department have to detain her? Humph, these guys think they can act tyrannically and lawlessly just because they are wearing official uniforms, right?"
Li Yan changed his clothes, picked up his sword, and rushed straight to his master's residence.
.........
In a courtyard, two middle-aged men sat in a clear hierarchy.
One of them had a ruddy and full face, and looked full of energy, giving people a sense of majesty without anger.
This person was Tian Kang, the leader of Muyang Sect.
The man opposite Tian Kang was thin and looked older.
He was Qin Zhen's master, Liu Mushen, one of the elders of Muyang Sect.
At this moment, Liu Mushen was anxiously saying to Tian Kang:
"Master, you know
, I have always treated Qin Zhen as my own son. Now that he is missing, I am afraid that no one in the world is more worried about his safety than me.
Qin Zhen is with Zhang Lanyue. That woman must know the inside story. Please help my poor Zhener, Sect Master!"
Liu Mushen said it with true feelings, but it was actually a disguise.
And Tian Kang was naturally very clear about this.
He smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, don't I know you? You are not begging me for Qin Zhen, but for your precious magic mirror!"
Seeing that his thoughts were exposed, Liu Mushen touched his beard and smiled awkwardly:
"Sect Master, you still understand me, but the magic mirror is important, Qin Zhen is also my disciple after all. If something happens to him, it will be a big loss for our Muyang Sect."
"I already know about this, but the people of the Demon Suppression Division are always difficult to talk to. The prefect of Huashui County came forward in person yesterday but it was useless. "
"Zhang Lanyue angered the Demon Suppression Division, that's her business, I won't interfere. The Demon Suppression Division can do whatever they want with her, I just want to see her and ask her to tell me the whereabouts of Qin Zhen and the magic mirror."
Tian Kang was silent for a while, and agreed to this matter: "Well, you can take my token and go there in person. It's just a branch of the Demon Suppression Division, so you still have to give this face."
Liu Mushen took the token engraved with the word "Tian" and thanked him with a smile.
Tian Kang reminded seriously: "Don't make a big deal. Without evidence, it's best not to tear your face with the people of the Demon Suppression Division."
"Don't worry, I know my limits."
Liu Mushen was about to leave with the token, and turned around and saw Li Yan coming.
"Li Yan, you came out of seclusion?"
Li Yan replied indifferently: "Just came out of seclusion."
"For Zhang Lanyue's matter? ”
“She is my fiancée after all.”
“Haha, that’s right. You two have always been the envy of everyone in our sect.”
Liu Mushen said with a fake smile.
He had always heard about the scandals of Zhang Lanyue behind her back.
It is rumored that there are at least two elders and disciples in the sect who have had affairs with this woman.
Tsk tsk... What a good woman!
Although he was quite disdainful of this couple in his heart, he couldn’t show it too obviously because Li Yan was Tian Kang’s direct disciple.
“Li Yan, I know why you came to me. I have already given the token to Elder Liu. If you are really worried, go with him.”
Li Yan and Liu Mushen looked at each other.
Since Tian Kang had spoken, they naturally dared not disobey.
When leaving the courtyard, a white-haired boy who was still childish stopped Li Yan’s way.
“Brother, can we move to talk alone? "
Liu Mushen glanced at the two brothers who were not in harmony with each other and walked away consciously.
Li Yan looked at the white-haired boy with a little dissatisfaction: "If you have something to say, please tell me quickly."
The white-haired boy smiled indifferently and said, "I got the news a few days ago that Zhang Lanyue went to Shanyang County privately, right?"
Li Yan raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised: "How did you know?"
Soon, he reacted: "Did you arrange the lotus monster that followed her?"
"This is not important. The important thing is what Zhang Lanyue did in Shanyang County. Do you want to hear it? "
Li Yan only knew that Zhang Lanyue went to Zhao Jiamu to ask for a place in the Tianjiao Hunting.
When he came back last time, the two chatted for a few words across the door, and he continued to retreat.
Zhang Lanyue claimed that the quota had been settled, but he didn't know the specific details.
However, Zhang Lanyue did not mention any conditions, from which he could already see a clue.
The quota for the Tianjiao Hunting is so precious, and Muyang Sect, as a top sect, only has one.
It was snatched away from him by the white-haired boy in front of him!
If this person hadn't suddenly appeared and become the master's most beloved little disciple, snatching the quota that should have belonged to him, Zhang Lanyue wouldn't have to rack her brains to help him get a new quota.
It's impossible that Zhao Jiamu could agree to this without any conditions.
Unless... Zhang Lanyue has already given it to him.
"Do you think you can threaten me with your one-sided words? "
The white-haired boy smiled and said, "Brother, I never thought that you would do anything to get a spot, even giving up your own woman to others to play with."
Li Yan said with a cold face, "You can't anger me."
"Oh? If I circulate this thing throughout the sect, can you still remain calm?"
As he spoke, a transparent crystal ball appeared in the white-haired boy's hand.
