Sun Zhuo has never shown any issues with me on the surface.
Last time, even though Si Yan had set a trap for Sun Zhuo, it was also due to Zheng Ren's search of the entire Taoist temple that Sun Zhuo bore some resentment.
However, he is still a true disciple.
The most advantageous individual among the soon-to-begin ascension ceremony.
With the investigation matter lacking evidence and ultimately dropping off without a trace, it hadn't shaken Sun Zhuo's position.
Before we completely break our face, I can't act too boldly, or it might cause tongues among the other disciples and make He Youanding's task difficult.
In fact, a sliver of the restless mood has arisen in my heart.
Wondering what ripples Sun Zhuo can still stir up.
He Youanding has heard about the events at Tianshoudao, so it's certain that Sun Zhuo also knows.
Is it because of this matter?
Mid-thought, Sun Zhuo stopped in front of me.
"Xian Shen, how do you think about it? The master will be out of the cultivation hall in just one day." He said.
My face remained unchanged, I quietly watched him and replied: "If it is the Mingjing True Man who wants to ally me, you can go back and report that these things are impossible to make me waver."
"If, it's something you want to say or do, you might as well save your effort."
"…"
For a moment, Sun Zhuo appeared hesitant.
Then, his expression darkened before he said, "Let's talk alone. This has nothing to do with my master, you can be at ease. There won't be any danger on the Four Regulations Mountain."
In the past, the most that Sun Zhuo has revealed to me is that he never lies.
Regarding his identity, he shows no cracks at all!
At this moment, when he mentioned the word "danger," it was completely opposite from before!
My face was not daring, but my heart became more confident.
Sun Zhuo, scared?
He doesn't know about Zheng Ren's matter, and he is also unaware of He Youanding's actions.
However, he should know what happened at Tianshoudao.
Of course, he also doesn't know that I had infiltrated the observatory.
Of course, he is a clever man. Zheng Ren's series of anomalies and the setback at Tianshoudao Temple would definitely make him afraid!
"The Four Regulations Mountain, how could there be danger? Of course, there won't be."
"What do you want to talk to me about? I think we have nothing to talk about."
My voice was not loud, and this remark was deliberately meant to provoke Sun Zhuo.
Sun Zhuo's eyelids twitched, and he slowly clenched his fist before slowly releasing it.
"It's a secret... The secrets about those things that happened in the past... Perhaps, we have to be honest with each other, Xian Shen, you will definitely want to know."
"Why, why does my dad, an ordinary person, have those abilities?"
"Why, why does he choose to hurt you?"
Sun Zhuo leaned in close to my ear, his voice barely audible.
At this moment, a few more disciples approached from a distance. Sun Zhuo immediately straightened up, turned around, and walked off in a certain direction.
My pupil shrank slightly, and my breath became slightly more urgent.
Why harm me?
It's because I'm fated for it; it's because Sun Dahai colluded with the Ghost Nook, colluded with Tianshoudao Temple!
What could be so complicated about this thing?
But listening to Sun Zhuo's implication, there are still secrets hidden within!
I didn't move forward, and from afar, Sun Zhuo stopped walking, turning back to look at me.
My breath became heavy, and I wanted to take a step forward.
"Little Uncle?!" A somewhat familiar shout echoed from behind.
The next moment, a figure stood in front of me, it was Xiang Ke.
He is clad in a blue Taoist robe, young and refreshing.
"Greeting, Little Uncle!" Xiang Ke bowed to me.
Just at this critical moment, Sun Zhuo disappeared.
"There's no need for so much formality, in fact, we are peers." I helped Xiang Ke up.
"Little Uncle, you're too kind! Disciple is afraid he cannot bear it." Xiang Ke was startled and quickly turned his head to look around.
"Next time, Little Uncle, don't say that. If it gets into the Grand Elder's ears, I might get a whipping. By the way, a few days ago, some villagers came up the mountain to deliver a letter to you. Since you weren't around, I took it for you. Today is just coincidentally when I handed it to you."
As he spoke, Xiang Ke took out a letter paper from his chest and handed it to me.
The thin envelope, the sealing position, pressing a bamboo flower.
My heart jumped suddenly!
Han Qū?
The bamboo flower, the world in ruins.
Previously, Han Qū had wanted to use this to scatter his soul, but I had persuaded him.
This matter, Si Yan mentioned it a few times. I only know that Han Qū is not in that bamboo grove.
He is actually still near the Four Regulations Mountain?
Taking a deep breath, I opened the envelope, and there was only an address written on the paper.
"Thank you, Xiongshi." I answered sincerely.
"Oh my……Little Uncle……you……"
"Sigh……Grand Elder!"
Xiang Ke was startled, and he quickly retreated, taking small steps towards the distance.
I glanced back, only then I realized that further away in the direction, He Youanding was indeed walking towards this side.
Taking a deep breath, I didn't leave. I waited until He Youanding arrived beside me.
"Master Brother." I bowed.
"Hmm, why are you wandering around? You should have finished everything with Si Yan." He Youarding asked.
I nodded, saying yes.
Then, I told the truth. Sun Zhuo had come to find me again. Of course, I didn't say anything else, just talked about Sun Zhuo asking me if I had made up my mind.
He Youarding's face still had a smile on it, and he didn't say much.
After that, I said that I had received a letter and planned to go down the mountain for a while, and would be back soon.
Until now, He Youarding only slightly furrowed his brow.
"In five days, a grand ceremony will be held to inter the Master. This is a major event for the Four Regulations Mountain, and tomorrow Zheng Ren will come out of the cultivation hall and notify all disciples at the Lord God Hall. This trip down the mountain will take one day, and another day to return. Little Brother, you can't afford to miss it."
He Youanding's words were full of hidden meaning.
Five days later, the interment ceremony will not be a simple one!
Si Yan will return in five days, and Qin Yi will expose Sun Zhuo in public!
This is the plan!
The parties involved, Sun Zhuo and Zheng Ren, are still unaware of this plan.
However, five days may not be a short time. Han Qū's address I received is right down the mountain. Including the travel time, I will return in at most two and a half days.
Therefore, I said that I would be able to return at most in three days.
He Youanding nodded, saying, "Well, I will keep an eye on Zheng Ren. He won't have the chance to go down the mountain."
It is obvious that He Youarding doesn't trust Zheng Ren at all.
"Thank you, Master Brother." I felt touched in my heart.
"Hmm, going down the mountain, you still need to wear the robe I gave you and take off the mask. You don't need to wear a mask, your identity and tone are still not well grasped. After all, you will be a candidate for the succession of the Four Regulations Mountain!"
He Youarding reached out and heavily patted my shoulder.
I felt a slight pause in my heart. Though I knew about this matter, it was basically set in stone when He Youanding told me.
When I have no place in the Four Regulations Mountain, I feel that after completing the plan, I can leave.
At this moment, my heart was trembling.
This is not just about identity; it's also about responsibility.
Will I be able to handle it?
