Chapter 0736: Xu Jing is suspicious
"Good. ”
Old Zhou quickly agreed with Qin Yi's statement, he didn't dwell on his previous words, but continued to say indifferently: "Old man, for the time being, I believe what you said before, it's all true. Last question, in Demon Spirit Island, have you ever killed the disciples of the three major sects?"
Qin Yi had already heard a faint chill from the other party's words, and it was obvious that the answer to this last question would be directly related to the life and death of him and Lu Yu.
However, Qin Yi had already had a plan in his heart, and said lightly: "In Demon Spirit Island, once you encounter an opponent, the juniors never ask about their identity, and they fight desperately. Either you die or I live. Asking questions and asking only adds to the trouble. ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Zhou Lao, but even Xu Jing looked directly at Qin Yi. Between his eyebrows, a cold chill flickered.
Qin Yi said, although there is nothing wrong with it. But it also couldn't prove that Qin Yi hadn't killed a disciple of any of their three sects.
However, this also does not prove that Qin Yi must have killed the disciples of the three sects.
From the beginning to the present, Qin Yi's answer is between the two. It depends on how you understand it.
"In this case, the old man has a way to confirm this matter. ”
Old Zhou suddenly spoke, and said with a calm smile: "You two, return the jade slip that your old husband gave before you entered the island." ”
Zhou Lao's words with a hint of command made Qin Yi and the others very unhappy, but they had to do it.
At that time, jade slips were distributed, and Zhou Lao told everyone to carry them with them. Qin Yi immediately felt tired from it, and he and Lu Yu put it in the deepest part of the storage ring and sealed it.
It wasn't until he left the island that Qin Yi remembered this matter and took out the things to carry with him.
Now seeing that the other party asked for it, the two naturally took it out happily and returned it to Zhou Lao.
After getting the information, Zhou Lao immediately called his subordinates. handed over the jade slip to his subordinates, carefully admonished a few times, and the subordinate left directly.
Obviously, this is to take the information jade slip for identification. At the beginning, Qin Yi suspected that there were ghosts in it, but now this move has strengthened Qin Yi's speculation.
It's just that the effect of this jade slip made Qin Yi unexpected. He originally thought that this jade slip was to facilitate the hunting of the sect disciples and lock the position.
But now it seems that it may be more than that.
As for whether it will work if it is sealed in the storage ring, Qin Yi is not 100% sure. Although the storage ring is a space that is completely blocked from contact with the outside world, the person who made this information jade must have thought of this, and it is very likely that there will be corresponding countermeasures.
"Nothing to do, sitting idle and boring. I wonder if you would be interested in answering one or two questions for me?"
Xu Jing smiled and looked at Qin Yi, with a hint in his eyes that Qin Yi could not refuse.
Qin Yi chuckled lightly and said lightly: "This girl looks like a fairy, if Qin can help if there is anything, it is also my honor." ”
Although Qin Yi praised Xu Jing a little in his words, the coldness in his tone was obviously not as polite and courteous as what he said.
Xu Jing, who was extremely confident in his appearance and temperament, saw Qin Yi like this, and felt a faint sense of frustration in his heart.
However, Xu Jing was obviously not a person who was entangled in these small details, and he was quickly freed from this emotion, and his opinion of Qin Yi in his heart had improved by one level.
"Little sister wants to ask, I wonder if you have ever seen a cripple in the Demon Spirit Island?"
Xu Jing's words are quite meaningful. She suddenly had an inexplicable intuition in her heart, that the lame man who suddenly appeared might have a faint connection with the young man in front of her.
Qin Yi replied quietly: "The girl's words are embarrassing. For a month on Demon Spirit Island, my two brothers walked on thin ice every day. Always be on the lookout for movement around you. Although I have seen many people, I have never seen the lame person in the girl's mouth. Besides, the seniors strictly controlled this trial, and the crippled should not be put on the island, right?"
Between the words, Qin Yi had already dissociated himself from the lame man and threw the problem to Zhou Lao.
The task of tracing the identity of the cripple naturally fell back to Zhou Lao.
Old Zhou frowned, and after a while, he replied: "Although the old man is responsible for the trial target of entering the island. But most people are not looking for old men. As for whether it is the lame man mentioned in Fairy Xu's mouth, I think it must be verified by the old man before he can give the fairy an answer. ”
Xu Jing didn't delve into this issue, she had already seen that the young man in front of her had been calm from beginning to end, if this matter was really related to him, this person must have already had a way to deal with it, and it would be difficult to gain anything if she continued to ask.
At that moment, she didn't say anything anymore, but her eyes never left Qin Yi. A pair of wonderful eyes wandered on Qin Yi's body and observed something, as if he wanted to see through Qin Yi.
Qin Yi was also calm, although he sensed Fairy Xu's gaze, his expression remained the same. This kind of reaction naturally made Xu Jing depressed.
After a long time, the subordinate who had left with the information jade slip finally returned.
He knelt down on one knee and said in a rather respectful tone: "Elder Zhou, there is nothing abnormal about Yu Jian. ”
Old Zhou's brows tightened, and the wrinkles on his face deepened a little: "Can you check carefully?"
"In order to avoid omissions, the subordinates have checked it several times. ”
"Good. Stand down!"
Boss Zhou raised his hand, and the subordinates left with interest.
Then, Old Zhou looked at Qin Yi deeply, and after a long time, he finally spoke: "You two can leave." You have completed this mission very well, if you want to stay on Yunlan Island, the old man can call the shots, give you the right to live for a long time, and even give you an errand. If you want to go to the Yunhai Empire Continent, the old man can also arrange it for you. ”
These conditions were all promised by Zhou Lao and Qin Yi before, so it is naturally impossible to go back.
But soon, Old Zhou's words changed sharply, and he said in a calm tone: "However, you can't leave Yunlan Island for half a step in the past few days. The old man may come to you at any time for something, and he must be on call. If you can't do it, you can't say it, and the old man will also take some tough measures. ”
Obviously, Zhou Lao has no evidence now, and he holds his own identity, so he won't do anything to Qin Yi and them. But he still had a trace of suspicion about Qin Yi, and these words obviously warned Qin Yi that he could only enjoy limited freedom. You still have to be checked at any time.
Of course, Qin Yi would not be stupid enough to argue with Zhou Lao at this time, and said with a chuckle: "The environment of this Yunlan Island is not bad, stay a few more days, and the juniors don't mind." However, I also ask Zhou Lao Neng to keep his promise and prepare for the two of us to go to the empire. ”
Old Zhou's face sank, and he said: "The old man is full of words, and what he says will naturally count." ”
