Chapter 820 Lin Zhao Wants to Run

"My dear hall master! You let slip a huge fortune again!" Old Liu said as soon as Xie Sanbao left.

"Why do you only think about money?" I looked at Old Liu. "Is that kind of money easy to take? I want to give the ghosts and gods a chance to live, but whether they'll give it to me is another matter!"

"And don't tell me, 'If the people of Liangjie Hall can capture ghosts and gods alive, then take the job.' I don't want to stir up that trouble."

"What did you come in here to say?"

Old Liu was so angry that he puffed his beard. He calmed down only after downing half a pot of cold tea in front of me. "I want to ask you, what do you think about Jiang Junci's matter?"

"The moment I see him, I'll beat him up!" I sat up straight. "It's fake that he's making trouble for me, but it's definitely true that he wants to use me."

I said, "Jiang Junci's plan isn't full of holes, but it can't stand scrutiny."

"If he wants to use this method to infiltrate the Civil Official faction, then either he's an idiot, or the Civil Official faction is full of morons."

"I think Jiang Junci's arrangement this time isn't to infiltrate himself, but to cover for a real mole."

Old Liu tapped his fan against his hand. "That's what I think too."

"The Civil Official faction can plant a mole in the Coffin Gate, so why can't the Coffin Gate plant an informant on their side?"

"The Coffin Gate put on this show with Jiang Junci to protect that mole."

"That mole must be about to be exposed."

I said faintly, "You deliberately poisoned Wen Yile, but you also gave him a chance to live. Do you suspect that Wen Yile is the mole?"

"I have that suspicion," Old Liu said. "However, I didn't deliberately let Wen Yile go. I had Yun Shang give him real poison."

"Even if Wen Yile doesn't die, he'll lose a layer of skin."

"Whether it's true or false depends on Wen Yile's skill and good fortune."

Being a mole is a game of walking on the edge of life and death. If Wen Yile is really a mole of the Coffin Gate, this deadly poison will be a protective charm for him.

If not, he should have been left behind for provoking us twice.

I gently tapped the table. "Old Liu, what do you think the Coffin Gate is trying to do?"

Old Liu shook his head. "It's hard to say! I always feel that the Coffin Gate is playing a big game. This game might affect the entire art of the Dao!"

"I even have a feeling that Po Jun and Qi Sha are actually playing against Tan Lang."

I looked up. "What do you mean?"

Old Liu shook his head slightly. "It's better if you don't know right now. Before I'm completely sure, I can't make judgments on some things."

"By the way!" Old Liu said, "When are you going to resolve the Ye family's matter?"

I said in a deep voice, "The sooner, the better."

Old Liu thought for a moment. "Then let's set off in half a month! You also need some time to digest what you gained from this mission."

"Alright!" I also felt that we should settle down a bit.

I originally planned to temper my Di Sha Blood Qi, but I didn't expect that after only three days of peace, Lin Zhao rushed over anxiously. "Li Po, Li Po, this is bad… I need to hide out for a few days. Call me when you set off!"

I asked inexplicably, "What are you hiding from? Did creditors come knocking?"

"It's more serious than that…" Lin Zhao was sweating anxiously. "It's hard to explain in a few words. In short…"

"Come back here!" Feng Ruoxing appeared behind Lin Zhao like lightning, grabbing Lin Zhao's collar. "You abandoned me after messing around, and you still want to run?"

"What the hell?" I was immediately stunned. "Abandoned after messing around? With whom? You!"

"Are you trying to die!" Feng Ruoxing almost strangled me on the spot. I finally escaped from her grasp and also figured out what was going on.

It turned out that a young girl had traveled thousands of miles to find her husband, chasing him to Liangjie Hall. The person she was looking for was Lin Zhao.

Before Lin Zhao could explain, Ye Yang had acupunctured him, even sealing his dumb acupoint.

I carried Lin Zhao into the room and placed him on a chair. Ye Yang and I quietly sneaked to the door of the reception room and peeked inside, crouching down. Sure enough, we saw a young girl crying with a face full of tears.

The young girl wasn't very tall and had some naive innocence. She looked pitiful as she cried with grievance.

Feng Ruoxing quietly appeared behind us. "This girl is called Xiao Ying, the daughter of the Xiao family of cultivators. I don't know how she was tricked by Lin Zhao, but she chased him all the way here, wanting to find the head of Liangjie Hall to seek justice for her."

"I can seek justice for her too?" My eyes almost popped out, but I kept my voice very low.

"Of course!" Feng Ruoxing said, "According to martial world conventions, the leader of a sect is equivalent to the head of a family, and they have to take care of everything! There's nothing wrong with her coming to you!"

"What do you mean, there's nothing wrong with her coming to me!" I shook my head on the spot. "You two are also leaders, you two go!"

Feng Ruoxing and Ye Yang simultaneously looked at my face with murderous intent. I rolled my eyes and quickly surrendered. "Okay, Feng Ruoxing, you're a woman, so it's easier for you to communicate with young girls. You go and stabilize her first."

"Ye Yang and I will give Lin Zhao a severe interrogation right away! We'll definitely find out what's going on!"
