Chapter 140 The Truth

The Sword Demon's sudden action caused a high degree of attention, and everyone admired him very much. Especially You-ge. He had been ashamed to eavesdrop on the couple's conversation in front of everyone just now, but look at the Sword Demon. As expected of the big shot who dominated the world back then leading the Heaven-Defying guild, he did things in such an informal way. He was really awesome. Look, he actually opened the door directly! You-ge thought.

Uh? Directly opened the door? You-ge muttered to himself again, and began to exchange glances with the people in the room. These passersby A, B, C, and D simply couldn't understand the inner world of the Sword Demon at this moment, and their thinking naturally couldn't keep up with the Sword Demon's actions.

The Sword Demon, who went out, looked left and right and saw Shui Shen and Lu Ke standing under the eaves next to the door. Both of them had dark faces, and it was obvious that the conversation was not pleasant at all.

This was of course expected. The Sword Demon was wondering how to open his mouth when Shui Shen had already seen him. He didn't show any expression, but just turned his head to the side.

"Hmph, I will continue to prove it to you!" Lu Ke said loudly, turned his head and left, saw the Sword Demon and roared at him, "What are you doing out here? Come in and continue the meeting!"

Words were never the Sword Demon's strong suit, especially at this chaotic and extremely subtle moment. He wanted to say something, but he really couldn't think of the words for a while. By the time he thought of the words, Lu Ke had already entered the house, and Shui Shen had already turned his head and left. The Sword Demon shook his head and sighed as he entered the house.

"Where's Qian Li? Why isn't she here yet?" Lu Ke asked in the room.

No one made a sound. The mercenary group members were frantically calling in the channel, "Why isn't she here yet? Hurry up!!"

Anyone could see that Lu Ke had gone berserk after going out and coming back.

"What did she say to Shui Shen?" Everyone was very curious, but no one dared to ask. Everyone looked at the Sword Demon, because everyone remembered that the Sword Demon had said, "Lu Ke will know when she comes back and asks." Of course, he was the one to ask.

"Ahem!" The Sword Demon coughed and finally opened his mouth under everyone's expectations: "Why isn't Qian Li here yet..."

"Damn it!!" Everyone thought, "The Sword Demon also has dishonest moments!!!!"

There was a knock on the door. The Sword Demon, who was close to the door, quickly opened it. This time it was finally Gu Fei. He was quite energetic. He came in and greeted everyone, "There are so many people!"

"Why are you so slow!!!" Lu Ke reprimanded. Everyone was silent, recalling that Lu Ke had explained for Gu Fei at the beginning, saying that the wanted mission office he teleported to was far away from here. How long had it been? Was this the legendary fickleness of women?

"Hehe, I ran into your husband and chatted for a few words," Gu Fei said.

"What did you say?" Everyone's eyes widened.

"What are you looking at? Looking for a beating!!" Gu Fei said fiercely.

"And then?" Everyone opened their mouths wide.

"He just lowered his head and walked away!" Gu Fei said.

"What are you doing! What are you doing! Who told you to bully him?" Lu Ke rushed up to fight Gu Fei, looking like she was about to cry.

"I was just kidding..." Lu Ke's intense reaction startled Gu Fei, and he quickly explained. Lu Ke was stunned.

"Can't you tell it's a joke?" Gu Fei asked everyone.

Everyone shook their heads. Yu Tian Shen Ming and Zhan Wu Shang raised their middle fingers at Gu Fei. Gu Fei took out his sword. The two of them put their middle fingers in their nostrils, looked to the left, and looked to the right.

"How annoying! You don't even choose the time, place, or occasion to joke," Lu Ke said.

"What happened?" Gu Fei was confused, but he also felt that something was wrong.

"Shui Shen was just here!" the Sword Demon said.

"Really? Why did he come too?" Gu Fei asked in surprise, "Wasn't it a failure?"

"Of course he didn't come to watch the shadow play," Xi Xiao Tian said. "Also, why would he come?"

Xi Xiao Tian asked a question, not directed at anyone, but this question could only be answered by one person, and it happened to be someone everyone cared about, but didn't dare to ask for the time being.

"He came to find me." Lu Ke seemed a little calmer.

Everyone remained silent, expecting what she would say next.

"Let's watch the scroll image!" Lu Ke said.

Everyone was going crazy, yelling in their hearts that this was not what they wanted to know right now, but there was no help for it. Lu Ke had already taken out the scroll. Everyone quickly gathered around. This thing was not a home theater that could play, stop, loop, fast forward, and rewind... there was only this one chance to watch it.

"Everyone, pay attention." Xi Xiao Tian said again before Lu Ke opened the scroll, "Because we can only watch it once, everyone must pay attention to all the details inside."

"Definitely, definitely!" Zhan Wu Shang and Yu Tian Shen Ming were always very active in expressing their opinions on the beauty's request.

"It's to pay attention to Duan Shui Jian, not me..." Xi Xiao Tian had to remind these two guys.

"Of course, of course." The two responded.

"It's starting," Lu Ke announced, and the scroll opened.

"Can you adjust the volume..." Yu Tian Shen Ming interjected, and his words overlapped with Xi Xiao Tian's words in the image, and he was immediately gagged, knocked down, and trampled on the ground by everyone. Everyone held their breath and stared intently. The scene of Xi Xiao Tian and Duan Shui Jian's conversation was watched by everyone without any difference. The scene continued until Duan Shui Jian waved and left, and Xi Xiao Tian sat there in a daze. Finally, the light and shadow disappeared in a flash, and the scroll disappeared along with it.

Xi Xiao Tian looked at everyone. On the way here, she had repeatedly pondered the exchange between the two of them. She had no new discoveries. At this time, after reviewing it again from the perspective of an outsider, her views remained the same as at the beginning. She just didn't know what other things others could see from it.

"Who has any discoveries? While the memory is fresh, speak up!" Lu Ke asked.

The five members of the Young Master Elite Group looked at Han Jia Gong Zi. This was a habit. If it were you, would you rather be despised by him after you finish speaking, or just wait for him to speak first?

Han Jia Gong Zi also opened his mouth without any politeness: "There are several places worth noting."

"Duan Shui Jian said that he was not interested in the studio, of course, also meaning that he is not a member of the studio, but when mentioning 'plan' and the like, he did not express any denial," Han Jia Gong Zi said.

"Didn't deny it? I remember he said there was some misunderstanding about this plan." Yu Tian Shen Ming, who had gotten up, quickly showed that his existence was valuable.

"Which word in here expresses denial? Point it out to me!" He was immediately ruthlessly despised.

Xi Xiao Tian nodded aside and said, "This kind of wording can't be said to be a denial, and it can be said that he recognizes the existence of this 'plan' to some extent."

Han Jia Gong Zi also nodded: "But he denies that he is a member of the studio, but at the same time he recognizes the existence of the plan, which is very strange."

"Does the plan have to be a studio? One person can also have a plan!" Zhan Wu Shang said.

"Didn't you hear her repeatedly use the word 'you' in the previous terminology? Duan Shui Jian did not have any evasive reaction to this," Han Jia Gong Zi said.

"This can be regarded as a default," Xi Xiao Tian added.

"It's a group, but not a studio, is it a spy sent by another guild?" You-ge asked.

Han Jia Gong Zi and Xi Xiao Tian did not respond to his speculation.

"Then his explanation of this misunderstanding is equivalent to pushing you to a dead end. It will be difficult to continue next, right?" Han Jia Gong Zi said.

"I almost couldn't continue," Xi Xiao Tian said.

"Then you said Duan Shui Jian's plan, which is what you inferred, of course not naively thinking that if you said what was on the other person's mind, the other person would panic and immediately confess," Han Jia Gong Zi said.

"Of course not. Saying this is just to make him realize, or rather, to emphasize his value. When a person realizes his value, the next step is often to try to obtain benefits from it," Xi Xiao Tian said.

"So you first put forward his value, and then offer a price for his value," Han Jia Gong Zi said.

Xi Xiao Tian said.

"What if he agrees?" Han Jia Gong Zi asked with great interest.

"That goes without saying, you can get any evidence you want," Xi Xiao Tian said.

"That is to say, even if Duan Shui Jian was originally a good kid, he was lured by you to go astray, and then you provide evidence of the crime to knock him down," Han Jia Gong Zi said.

"That's right," Xi Xiao Tian admitted.

"That's really despicable," Han Jia Gong Zi said.

"Of course, liars and these adjectives are inseparable," Xi Xiao Tian said.

"But he didn't take the bait in the end," Han Jia Gong Zi said.

"That's right. It seems that the conclusion you came to should be the same as mine," Xi Xiao Tian said.

Han Jia Gong Zi nodded.

"You... what is the conclusion?" You-ge asked.

"Duan Shui Jian is telling the truth, and you..." Han Jia Gong Zi pointed at Gu Fei, Jian Gui, and Lu Ke one by one: "You misunderstood him."

The Sword Demon did not speak, and Lu Ke did not speak either. Only Gu Fei was still confused: "Are you sure?"

"Didn't you say that Yu Tian made a mistake from the beginning? Maybe Duan Shui Jian noticed it, so he was deliberately acting," You-ge said.

"I also thought about this possibility, but after thinking about it carefully, if he was deliberately acting, and could do it to this extent, he could have handled the tentative keywords such as 'plan' and 'you' more beautifully, without leaving any doubts. But now? Although I said that you are wrong in your judgment of Duan Shui Jian, I also think that he joined your guild and did these things for some other reason. It's not as simple as a player joining a guild," Xi Xiao Tian said.

"In this case, Shui Shen came here, of course it wasn't any hint that Duan Shui Jian gave him?" You-ge said.

"This, you can actually ask Shui Shen," Xi Xiao Tian looked at Lu Ke, "And about the previous incident of being discovered while tracking, whether Shui Shen was deliberately brought there by Duan Shui Jian, you can actually ask him! You don't seem to have asked, right?"

"This..." Lu Ke recalled that she felt a little impulsive. She believed that Shui Shen would not hide anything from her. If she asked to the bottom of it, it would be easy to know whether Duan Shui Jian deliberately brought Shui Shen there, but she chose to immediately avoid Shui Shen, and played dark psychological riddles with those two people.

"It's all you two!" Lu Ke said angrily.

The Sword Demon was very ashamed, but Xi Xiao Tian already said, "The Sword Demon doesn't look like someone who is so nosy!"

Gu Fei looked at Xi Xiao Tian deeply: "I said... you're not colluding with Duan Shui Jian to play us, are you?"
