Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 254 Confidence

Everyone's eyes moved towards Wudong.

"It's surprising, but it's just speculation without sufficient evidence - you should be able to see that the situation in Huansilou is very uncomfortable."

Pei Ye was stunned.

what?

No one in the room seemed to have the same doubts as him, but fortunately Wudong continued to speak: "Of the ten soul beads, three were lost in Xilong and one was lost here. The thing that Hushan wanted to get was not achieved, and the pursuit was met by swallowing the sun. ——Based on Qijiao’s oral confession, it is speculated that Bowang’s incident may have been his decisive battle.”

"The sword stolen by the soul-stealer is of different quality. Since there are 'fruits', the 'fruit' must be the superior one and the other inferior ones. 'Yang Hu' will definitely want to pick this fruit that day. I think it is because he wants to die. There is a certain amount of 'fruit' required to carry out the work, and the Xilong side is no longer able to collect it."

Wudong paused for a moment, then said: "But he still lost."

The room was quiet for a moment.

Pei Ye suddenly realized this time - if Huansi Tower succeeds, he will probably come again!

Now that Tianshan and Immortal Terrace have arrived, the power of the Huanshu Tower is of course likely to have gathered nearby.

"This is the reason why I asked Mr. Sui to stay for now." Wudong continued, "They may still have many soul-stealing beads, but the "Jade Jade Sword" that was ranked first in thirteen states back then is not everywhere. All.”

Anzang tilted his head slightly: "But now that we are in Bowang, how can we come to Huanshi Tower?"

"For a grandmaster, there are always gaps." Wudong Pingding said, "If the ripe and suitable fruits were so easy to find, why did they have to take risks in Bowang City in the first place? Looking for a new target now is no better than It’s easier to keep staring at this place. Moreover, attacking in such a dangerous situation is a clever move. As long as they believe that we are really unprepared.”

Anzang was silent for a while, then nodded softly: "You can give it a try."

Of course, Huansilou may not necessarily believe it, and they cannot make Huansilou believe it, but no one can deny that it is indeed possible.

To prepare for this possibility, maybe we can skip the two complicated and slow roads ahead and directly grasp the tightrope of Huanshui Building that is unable to advance or retreat.

Wudong then continued: "We laid an ambush and waited for it for three days. Mr. Sui left Bowang today, and then secretly returned to Yin to monitor. Mr. An and I each perform our duties, and we can listen to Mr. Sui's signal for support at any time."

Anzang and Sui Zaihua each nodded.

"Then it's settled."

A killing plot was planned so simply.

Only Pei Ye is still a little confused - why has it been decided? What does Mr. Sui want to monitor again?

Until the three masters glanced at him almost at the same time.

"." Pei Ye was speechless.

——Now the whole of Bowang knows that you, Pei Shaoxia, have amazing swordsmanship and unique skills. If this "fruit" is not you, who else could it be?

Anzang suddenly frowned again: "I wonder if Mr. Sui is familiar with these things, otherwise Wu Hejian will personally monitor it?"

But Wudong said calmly: "Master An takes people with official positions - Master Sui is more familiar with Huansheng Tower than I am."

Anzang looked at him in surprise, Sui Zaihua smiled faintly, and his glance was as sharp as a sword in an instant.

At this point, the room was quiet for a moment, Wudong said: "As mentioned above, you guys still have some undesired comments."

No one spoke.

"In that case, that's it for today."

Everyone nodded slightly.

Only Pei Ye was stunned again.

Why is it over?

"After An Sifeng returns, please understand the case as soon as possible. Taichung sent me to cooperate. You and I will work together to investigate the Shaolong case. I hope it can go smoothly - it's a pity that Mr. Sui is busy with official duties, otherwise things would be much easier."

Sui Zaihua smiled lightly: "Let me take a look first."

"Okay, then let's not go through it. The day after tomorrow, when the two right paths are clear, we will have another meeting--"

"No, no sir." The boy in the corner suddenly raised his hand.

Several grandmasters looked over, and Pei Ye hesitated and said, "Have you finished discussing the previous matters?"

"."

Of course, Pei Ye didn't think the discussion was over - the adults had made things clear, but half of the purpose of his coming here was still in the fog.

To know the purpose of the soul-stealing sword in the Huansi Tower, chasing "Bengxue" and investigating "Xinbo" are certainly the only way to go, but why is the most core thing only mentioned?

Pei Ye then looked at the three of them and said cautiously: "Sir, don't we have to find out what the 'ancient legend' is? Where should we start with this matter?"

silence.

Quiet.

No one spoke.

So in this silent atmosphere, Pei Ye suddenly realized that he had asked a stupid question.

Of course the three adults knew that the "ancient object" was the central link of the entire spreading case, and they also knew that finding out what this object was was the most important thing.

But it is definitely not something that has prerequisites for cooperation.

Tianshan, Fuya, and Immortal Terrace.

Especially Tianshan and Xianrentai.

They do not stand together on everything. There has always been a subtle pull between the sect and the court.

They all want to know what it is, but they will only search and verify it through their own channels. The Huansi Tower has worked so hard to obtain this item, and the lower limit of this thing has been guaranteed. So after the failure of the Huansi Tower, whose hands will it fall into? Whose hands should it fall into?

The interests are so naked and clear.

Therefore, until such a sensitive thing was ready to be brought to the negotiating table, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it.

Only Pei Ye didn't understand it at all, and he was really in a hurry - everyone was hiding it, so how could I know what it was?

But then he reacted and fell silent.

"This requires the cooperation of Xilong Road, and we can't do much for the time being."

Fortunately, the masters didn't take it seriously. Anzang's smile gave him a real enough reason, and the meeting ended peacefully.
-

When I walked out of the building, drizzle began to fall outside the door again.

Li Weiru and Anzang were chatting in front, and Pei Ye followed behind, still thinking about the jade pendant.

Everyone was investigating secretly, so how was he, a seventeen-year-old child with no official position and a lonely life, supposed to catch clues?

Even if the jade pendant is opened by then, I'm afraid I can only stare in a daze.

"Mr. Pei didn't speak for the entire scene. So it turns out that he actually has something he cares about?"

Pei Ye suddenly felt the coolness of the rain disappear. When he turned around, he saw a stone hairpin and snow-white coat fluttering over. His true energy opened up an invisible barrier around him.

"Isn't Miss Shi not talking the whole time?" Pei Ye reached out and touched the empty space with some magic.

"I am a disciple of Tianshan, so naturally I follow Uncle An, but Mr. Pei is on my own side."

"So I have one last thing to say." Pei Ye smiled.

".good."

"After all, it belongs to Yang Yan's sect. If the case is finally settled, this thing will have to be returned to Hushan Jianmen, right?" Pei Ye turned his head and looked at Shi Hanxue.

The woman still has a snow-like grace, and at first glance she seems to have a temperament that is indifferent to all kinds of worldly affairs. However, she shares this responsibility with Gu Yunfu, and just now assisted Anzang, which actually shows that she has a delicate heart. "Not necessarily." The woman shook her head gently, "As usual, if this thing falls on the bright side, it must first be inspected by the Immortal Platform. If the Immortal Platform does not confiscate it, it can be returned to the world."

"Isn't this it?" Pei Ye stared, knowing exactly where he was and did not utter the words.

Shi Hanxue smiled slightly: "It sounds true, but I would like to say two things that are fair to Xianrentai - Xianrentai is the agent of Wulin, and he will have his eyes and ears on all the strange objects in the rivers and lakes. After distinguishing them, they usually do 'release', There are three types of processing, 'collection' and 'destroy', but the ratio of the three is about one hundred, one, one."

"."

"Immortal Terrace has issued an order that all rare objects in the Tang Dynasty must be inspected by them, but in fact, they can be counted on what they have actually confiscated. Generally, there are only two types, one is a purely evil and poisonous martial arts weapon, and the other is It’s what Xianrentai wants.”

Pei Ye slowly tilted his head: "?"

Shi Hanxue smiled: "But this kind of thing is actually very rare - I have seen it with my own eyes. The ancestral treasure of a sect was taken away by the Immortal Platform two years ago. That thing is quite evil and extremely rare. , Xianrentai had every reason to confiscate it, and the sect owner was already heartbroken. But three days later, after Xianrentai finished recording the book, it was really returned."

".oh."

So Pei Ye understood that as long as the Immortal Terrace sees this thing, it can collect it according to the rules; but if Tianshan wants this thing, the thing must not show up at all.

The premise is that this thing is indeed precious enough.

If the Immortal Terrace is not confiscated, of course this "ancient artifact" will still belong to the Hushan Sword Sect, but by then the master has passed away, who will the Hushan Sword Sect belong to?

Pei Ye became much smarter at this time and didn't say any more. The rain became a little tighter, and the two masters in front turned to the side pavilion. Pei Ye and Shi Hanxue continued to move forward, and in the slow ticking, they were out of the room. The thick and mysterious gate of Immortal Terrace.

It has been raining for a while. The streets are as wet as oil, the cold trees are cold and green, and there is a mist in the distance, which is the wide and flat surface of Zhuyue Lake.

Pei Ye nodded slowly: "Then what does Xianrentai want?"

Shi Haoxue chuckled: "How can we know this?"

Pei Ye rolled his eyes: "What if I join Tianshan?"

"Mr. Pei is joking, what does this have to do with whether you join or not?"

"I want to join, and I want to be your true successor."

Shi Hanxue couldn't help but smile: "Okay, in that case, Tianshan might know a little bit."

"Oh." Pei Ye nodded and said nothing.

"." Shi Hanxue looked at him and couldn't help but said, "Then Mr. Pei wants to enter Tianshan Mountain?"

Pei Ye shook his head: "No."

"." Shi Hanxue smiled slightly.

Pei Ye couldn't help but laugh too.

The woman was noble and beautiful. She was the proud son of Tianshan. Her status and accomplishments far surpassed that of the young man who had just won the title of Qiukui from Pianzhou. She was smiling and angry, but Pei Ye secretly felt a childish and subtle pride in her heart.

But soon, this somewhat familiar feeling aroused something in his heart again, and Pei Ye paused and fell silent.

It was at this moment that his eyes froze, and he saw a girl in a green dress holding a board over her head under the willow tree in front of her, looking over quietly.

Pei Ye's steps immediately froze.

After being stunned for a moment, he raised his hand and waved twice.

The girl immediately trotted over and stood in front of the boy. She was still holding the board, half of her fair forearms were exposed, and her delicate green skirt was already wet in some places, losing the luster she had seen before.

Shi Hanxue became angry and took her in. Li Mingqing put down the board, raised her head and gave the woman a forced smile.

"Your dress is wet, why are you holding up a board so foolishly?" Pei Ye was silent for a moment and smiled at the girl.

Li Mingqing looked at him a little downcast and said nothing.

Shi Hanxue smiled softly from the side and said, "Young Master doesn't want your hair to get wet and messed up."

".oh!"

The woman moved away with a smile: "Then I won't bother you. I'll invite Mr. Pei to have a chat next time."

After saying that, he gathered his true energy, gathered his sleeves and headed north.

Only the two quiet people were left.

Li Mingqing looked at the woman's leaving back in a daze, and whispered: "She is so beautiful."

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Pei Ye gently.

"Yeah, it's okay." Pei Ye didn't know how to answer for a while.

Li Mingqing was also a little silent.

In fact, the girl was very happy when she came to the Immortal Terrace. Of course, she had no such experience. She was confused and stupid about the sudden emotions like all young people who fall in love for the first time. But after all, her clever and keen intuition still played a role. The prospect of one's own behavior subconsciously has good expectations that I don't know why.

——When Pei Ye went out, he would never have imagined that he was waiting for him, and it was just a surprise for him; not far away was Zhuoyue Lake, and misty raindrops were falling from the sky. When rowing on the lake, there would be a quiet fog around him, as if there was only one thing left in the world. She left the two of them; she had also prepared interesting topics, and she had five ways of talking about how to naturally switch to topics that would make people blush and heartbeat.

Then Pei Ye came out and chatted and joked harmoniously with this cold and aloof Tianshan woman.

When this picture fell into her eyes, the girl's mood suddenly dropped.

Some emotions that had been buried for a long time popped out of my heart.

Especially when she walked over and Pei Ye said, "Your dress is already wet, why are you holding up a board so stupidly?", which made her mood drop even more.

She knew this was their normal joke. He loved teasing her like this, but she would always retort anyway.

But now in front of this woman, the other party's white clothes are better than snow, the autumn rain and cold leaves are spotless, and her bright face is like a fairy. The dress she carefully selected was already in a mess, and she only held up the board to protect her hair that had been tied up in a bun all morning. She looked exactly like a mortal in front of the fairy.

Pei Ye and Shi Hanxue stood together, and the words they left behind really hurt her.

However, the girl was used to adjusting her mood. She raised her head and rolled her eyes at him gently: "Your hair falls into a mess when it rains. Are you stupid?"

Pei Ye's package, which had lost its true energy, trembled and asked a somewhat silly question: "Um, are you cold?"

It was the first time he encountered the cold rain, but how could a young girl be afraid of this coldness.

Li Mingqing was about to laugh when she suddenly remembered Senior Sister Shen's teachings. She paused and said softly: "Yeah, a little bit."

He glanced at the haori he was wearing.

Pei Ye was surprised: "Huh? Then, let's go back quickly."

"..." Li Qingqing really felt that it was like shooting herself in the foot. She quickly changed the topic, "Actually, it's not bad - Pei Ye, I remembered something. You said you gave me a gift after the competition. Woolen cloth?"

"what?"

　Alas, I am such a waste of coding.
