I shook my head and answered, "Is it useful?"
"Why not..."
The words cut off abruptly, the leader's gaze was sharp, and his eyes sparkled with intensity!
My heart suddenly skipped a beat. What does this gaze mean?
In the next second, the leader's face again revealed a sinister smile. He murmured, "At any time, refutation, however, does have some effect. The only situation where it has absolutely no effect is that it is false and untenable."
Or the thing spoken of is so shocking to the listener that it shatters their world view, even having a greater impact!"
"That really is both true and false, which can make people think you're lying, and even bring you greater danger!"
"It seems that this is the latter!"
"It's amazing, at the age of 19, you have such profound insight."
"You are so young but so wise."
After the leader finished his words, the driver, Yang Guan Shi, sweat beads as big as beans formed on his forehead. He looked startled at me and then glanced back at the leader.
"Take good care of the road on the mountainous road." The leader's voice was slightly cold and showed slight displeasure.
Suddenly, Yang Guan Shi slammed on the brakes, a loud friction sound erupted, and the car body shook violently.
My body was thrown about by the inertia, and I reached out to grab the handle on the car, only to see the front of the car brush past a Taoist.
That was a female Taoist!
She had long hair draped over her shoulders, with no makeup, but her appearance was breathtakingly beautiful.
And at the moment when the car brushed past her, she remained incredibly calm, not stepping back even an inch.
In the next second, the car shook and moved further away.
In my line of sight, the female Taoist also disappeared……
My heart was pounding.
I can't explain it, because it's due to the near-collision between Yang Guan Shi and the female Taoist, causing my heart to race.
Or because of the analysis the leader gave me, which almost directly points to my secret and anxiety from when I was nine years old.
At this moment, the leader's expression was as dark and somber as water.
"Yang Shan! What are you doing?"
"Either you almost hit a Taoist and killed him in the Supervision Temple, or you almost drove us off the mountain, causing the Shouci's manager and leader to die in a car accident and plummet down the mountain on the Supervision Temple!"
"Do you want to quit?!"
The leader's tone became even more stern and angry!
It can be seen that the leader is really angry, and he directly calls out his name.
Yang Guan Shi's goat-like face looked extremely deferential, as he kept apologizing, saying that he had been distracted earlier.
The leader's gaze was cold and stern, and he continued, "Stay focused, and listen carefully. If you don't get distracted, who will?"
"No……It's not…"
Yang Guan Shi slowed down his speed slightly and explained more uneasily, "When I turned back, I glanced at that female Taoist… and she looked at me as well…"
I was taken aback, then suddenly remembered that, indeed, when Yang Guan Shi glanced at me and the leader, the leader scolded him.
At that time, the car was steady, while Yang Guan Shi, who was driving normally and looking ahead, suddenly swayed the car.
The near accident was not because Yang Guan Shi was distracted, but because of the gaze of that female Taoist?
My heart was still pounding.
The chaotic feeling made me feel extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, another thought struck me.
My irregular heartbeat, is it really because the secret was almost revealed, or is it because we were on the edge of a car accident?
Or is it because I glanced at that female Taoist?
At this moment, my head feels empty, and I can't recall the appearance of the female Taoist at all.
Unknowingly, the car had driven down the mountain in the city and onto the road.
The road was full of cars and people, and the sky had already brightened.
The first rays of the sun shone into the car window, giving my face a warmth.
Practitioners at the Supervision Temple are mostly male Taoists, with only one female Taoist, who is the one on the mountain road.
Suddenly, I remembered again, is the jade hairpin given to me by Han Qiu hers?
The emptiness in my mind was immediately dispelled, and I closed my eyes.
Han Qiu's matters cannot be mentioned yet.
Instinctively, I felt that this was a talisman.
Otherwise, I might have been used by Sun Zhuo as a regulatory Taoist and manipulated to death.
Yang Guan Shi drove the car sincerely, and didn't speak again.
The leader's expression remained unpredictable, shifting between gloom and brightness.
My mood has also calmed down.
I also felt relieved that the leader didn't pursue the matter with the Sun family.
However, I had already developed a sense of caution and wariness within me.
This matter must never be revealed.
Because it also concerns the land qi on that day!
Instead of driving directly back to the Shouci, the car stopped at a narrow alley first, and Yang Guan Shi took us to eat something.
The steaming hot beef noodles soup made people sweat profusely and their bodies felt warm.
During this period, the leader did not mention the previous matters. He asked me if the bowl of noodles was enough and asked the owner to add more toppings.
It was clear that his attitude towards me had become more friendly.
My demeanor and appearance remained the same.
Later, when we returned to the Shouci, the leader told me to go upstairs and rest well, they would gather some people and set out when they would come to call me.
I nodded and left.
After returning to floor 33 and locking the door, I placed a talisman on the lock.
Although it is now bright outside, caution is still necessary to ensure a long and safe journey.
Returning to my room to rest, I slept until almost 3 in the afternoon.
When I woke up, I felt a lot better.
The injury on my right arm had healed much more, and it was mostly scabbed over.
I was about to check all the items on me. I had to face that old man in a suit; I couldn't rely on others entirely and needed to be well-prepared myself!
The mobile phone rang at just the right time.
The one who called me on the phone was Zhang Gu.
I took a deep breath and answered Zhang Gu's call.
"Luo brother, where are you right now!?", Zhang Gu's voice had a slight sense of seriousness.
"What's up, Zhang brother?" I squinted my eyes slightly and asked, "Have Luo Hu and Zhao Xi brothers come out?"
"Not yet..." Zhang Gu's voice was slightly bitter as he said, "For the past two or three days, there's basically no hope. The danger in Qi Village is indeed so severe; our organization has lost many people there. Now we're planning to withdraw, give up, and wait no longer."
My heart accelerated greatly, but my demeanor and tone were more composed.
"I console you."
Zhang Gu heaved a sigh of relief before saying, "However, the deaths of Luo Hu and Zhao Xi have also enabled us to explore many secrets of Qi Village. I will report this."
"Luo brother, I found you for another matter."
Zhang Gu steered the conversation back to the topic I had diverted.
Since I had obtained the information I wanted, I naturally did not continue to disrupt Zhang Gu.
Zhang Gu also paused for a moment before saying, "We received news that there will be significant movements in the Supervision and Huang Si temples. It seems they are planning to do something big. The higher-ups are concerned that this might be aimed at us, so they are organizing everyone to return and hide, you included? Let me come and pick you up?"
A chill ran through my heart at once.
The Ghost Altar organization's information is indeed keen.
However, their concerns are clearly in the wrong direction.
"Luo brother?" Zhang Gu asked again in question.
I composed my thoughts and then said in a low voice, "Brother Zhang, the actions of the Huang Si temple and the Supervision temple are not aimed at you."
