Chapter 338: Futile Effort
Chapter 238
"Mr. Mo, Daddy is back!"
Mo Lidao was in a hurry to walk back and forth in the main hall of the Nanhu Courtyard at this time, and when he suddenly heard Nie Yao's shout, his expression immediately perked up, and he hurriedly walked out.
Since the two of them brought the antidote back to the Nanhu Courtyard, Mo Lidao and Nie Zaizhi immediately went their separate ways, searching for any news about the Shadow Gate on the rivers and lakes.
However, now that four days have passed, Mo Lidao has never found anything, and he has no choice but to return to Nanhu Courtyard.
It can be said that at this time, Mo Lidao is already poor in donkey skills, and he only hopes that Nie Zaizhi can bring back good news and hope to go to rescue Deng Si'er as soon as possible.
"Again, how? Do you have any news? ”
As soon as Mo Lidao stepped out of the door, he saw Nie Yao and Yu Yingran walking towards Nie Zaizhi, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Seeing Nie Zaizhi frowning and sighing, he shook his head without any words.
"How...... How can you, too? Seeing this, Mo Lidao said in disbelief, with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Let's go in first." Nie Zaizhi saw Mo Lidao's expression like this, and knew that he needed to calm down, so he comforted him.
Mo Lidao nodded, and followed Nie Zaizhi into the main hall without saying a word.
After sitting down, Nie Zaizhi spoke:
"In the past four days, I have asked many friends, many of whom are highly respected and experienced, but they all don't know much about the Shadow Gate, and it can be said that they are very few. In this way, from the second day onwards, I stopped looking for my old friends, but ...... Went to what you were talking about. On that day, the other gangs led by Shadow Gate wanted to besiege the Nanhu Annex. ”
"Can't ask the same?" Yu Yingran said in surprise on the side.
Nie Zaizhi nodded lightly when he heard this, looked at the three people in the room, and said in a deep voice:
"That's right. I exhausted all means, as without any useful news. ”
"How so? This Shadow Gate...... What the hell is ......" Nie Yao had never seen his adoptive father show such a lost expression, and he was even more incredulous that the shadow gate was so mysterious.
On the rivers and lakes, how can there be a sect that is not known to the world while becoming a giant in the rivers and lakes?
How exactly do they move?
It was not only Nie Yao who was present. After Nie Zaizhi and Mo Lidao searched for the past few days, the shock in their hearts continued to expand, and they were almost numb.
"It seems. This shadow gate, as early as more than ten years ago, had an extraordinary purpose. Nie Zaizhi was silent for a long time, and then suddenly spoke.
The three people in the room were stunned when they heard this. Immediately, they all looked up at Nie Zaizhi in confusion.
I saw Nie Zaizhi frowning. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"In my life, I've never seen a sect that behaves like the Shadow Gate. Although they do it casually, most of them are maintaining the justice of the rivers and lakes, but according to the previous siege of the Nanhu Courtyard, it is really incomprehensible, so it is both good and evil, but it has a supreme position in the rivers and lakes. It's already an unshakable existence without the power of thunder, but it's ......"
Nie Zaizhi said this. After a pause, he said in a deep voice:
"However, how can no one know where the shadow gate is?"
"Yes, leading the crowd to besiege my Nanhu Courtyard, the momentum of the rivers and lakes has become so big, but why, no one knows where the shadow gate is?"
When Mo Lidao heard this, he remembered that he had heard countless people talk about the little news they knew about the Shadow Gate in the past few days, and he nodded with some feelings.
Nie Yao saw that Nie Zaizhi and Mo Lidao became silent after they finished speaking, lowered their heads and fell into deep thought, and also glanced at Yu Yingran sitting next to him in a panic, and said:
"What now? What should Deng Si'er do? Ten days, in case Deng Si'er ......"
Yu Yingran also sighed helplessly when he heard this, and turned his head away.
Seeing this, Nie Yao couldn't help but be even more disheartened, looked down at his wrung hands, and said in a somewhat unsteady voice:
"We can't find out where Yingmen is, and we don't know who to ask, even Brother Zuo, who has the best relationship with Deng Si'er, has been staying in the guest room since the day Daddy and Mr. Mo came back, practicing swords every day, and not saying a word to anyone...... Deng Si'er...... It's been so long, and there's no news at all, will it be ......"
"Yao'er, don't think about it, we will always have a way, Deng Si'er...... It's going to be fine. Yu Yingran sat beside Nie Yao, and couldn't help but comfort when he heard the words.
"Really?" Nie Yao looked up at Yu Yingran and asked, his eyes glistening with water.
Yu Yingran was stunned when he saw this, he didn't expect the relationship between Nie Yao and Deng Si'er to be so good, so he couldn't help but nod and said:
"Yao'er, although I have known Deng Si'er for a short time, I rarely see each other, but although Deng Si'er is still young, he has different ideas from ordinary people, you have to believe him, since he made this decision, although he does not say that he has a complete grasp of getting out, but I know that Deng Si'er must also know in his heart."
"That's right, Deng Si'er's kid, if you want him to die, where is it so easy." Mo Lidao also nodded at this time and interjected.
Even if he is helpless now, Mo Lidao is very convinced in his heart that Deng Si'er will definitely come back safe and sound.
Nie Yao saw that Yu Yingran and Mo Lidao both said this, so he couldn't help but believe it a little, and his heart eased a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Nie Yao thought about it, suddenly stood up, and said:
"I know that Brother Zuo must have a way to save Deng Si'er, I'll go find him again!"
But as soon as Nie Yao turned around and walked to the door of the main hall, he was blocked by the two oncoming people.
"Xiao Yao'er, why are you here?"
A familiar voice with the vicissitudes of time came into Nie Yao's ears, and when Nie Yao saw the visitor, he suddenly felt extremely depressed in his heart, and he couldn't speak.
The three people sitting in the main hall all stood up when they saw this, but the two people who looked at the dust outside the door were just standing behind Nie Yao, the same silence.
That's right, the person who came was Wu Jue and Yu Yingran's master, Mr. Ogata.
Wu Jue saw that there was no one sitting in the room, and said hello or concern to the two of them who finally came back on time, and couldn't help frowning, looked at Nie Yao and said:
"I said, Miss Nie, Mr. Ogata and I came back ahead of schedule, why don't you even have a surprised expression? You know, there are still five days left before the January period of the leftist poison! ”
But he never thought that as soon as Wu Jue's voice fell, whether it was Nie Yao standing in front of him or the other three people standing behind him, they all looked strange, and the atmosphere here immediately became inexplicably weird.
"You...... You guys...... This is ......" Wu Jue couldn't help but chuckle in his heart when he saw this, it couldn't be that the left idiot had been poisoned, and they came back late, right?
Wu Jue thought of this, and immediately looked back at Mr. Ogata, and saw that Mr. Ogata was also at a loss and puzzled, so he turned his head to look at everyone in front of him, not knowing what to say.
Finally, Nie Zaizhi stepped forward, patted his friend Mr. Ogata on the shoulder, sighed and said:
"Ogata, it's already ...... No need. (To be continued.) )
