Chapter 0737: Sorrow urges Old Zhou
Zhou Lao's attitude of coming and going as soon as he called, Qin Yi was somewhat unhappy. However, his arms couldn't reach his thighs, so Qin Yi still decided to endure it.
If there is a conflict at this time, don't say how strong this old man is, just with the fiercely guarded Tiger Army outside, one person and one knife, Qin Yi and Lu Yu can be chopped into meat sauce.
The two of them had their own thoughts and walked out of the courtyard.
Old Zhou's eyes were deep, staring at the direction in which Qin Yi and the others left.
After a long time, Zhou Lao finally spoke: "Fairy Xu, these two people, what do you think?"
For Xu Jing, Zhou Lao's attitude is obviously more polite, and he will ask her opinion no matter what.
Although the Luofu Sect to which Fang Lei belonged, who was sitting on the side, was the strongest force among the three sects, it was obvious from Zhou Lao's attitude that he admired Xu Jing more, thinking that Xu Jing's potential was much higher than Fang Lei's.
Seeing Zhou Lao asking, Xu Jing smiled and said, "One is mediocre, and the other is really an interesting guy." ”
Over the years, Xu Jing has long been accustomed to the fiery and crazy gaze of men. But in the face of her, Qin Yi was able to be so calm. This made Xu Jing quite surprised, and at the same time, he also had a faint interest in Qin Yi.
Between the words, Xu Jing had already gotten up, bowed to Zhou Laowei, and said in a calm voice: "The next thing, I still bother Zhou Laoduo." There are some things that the younger generation needs to leave first. ”
As soon as Zhou Lao saw that Xu Jing was leaving, he immediately stood up: "Fairy, this matter is very important. Why don't the fairies wait for clues to appear and then make a decision?"
This matter involves the interests of the three major sects. Zhou Lao understood the stakes, and he retained Xu Jing because he wanted Xu Jing to testify, so as not to attack him in the future.
When Xu Jing heard this, he smiled and said, "This matter is handed over to Elder Zhou, and the younger generation is indeed relieved." Even if there are no clues to be found in this matter, there are three cases that they bear by themselves. Boss Zhou can rest assured!"
In the Demon Spirit Island, Xu Jing and Gao Lin have already found out that the initiator of this disaster is Ding Hao.
This time he returned to Yunlan Island to interrogate the target of the trial, originally to find a scapegoat to bear the anger of the Luofu Sect and the Mirror Flower Palace, and to avoid the conflict between the two sects and the Abyss Sacred Valley.
In the final analysis, it is also necessary to maintain the balance between the three sects.
In Xu Jing's view, this is undoubtedly an act of shirking responsibility, and it is not glorious.
So there is not much interest in this matter. Sitting here, I also want to see if there is anything else involved.
Now, after seeing the trial and going to trial, there is no famous trial, so naturally I don't want to stay for a long time, and waste time in vain.
"Senior Brother Fang Lei. ”
Xu Jing suddenly smiled and greeted Fang Lei.
"I don't think you have any intention of being here, why don't you leave with me?"
Although Xu Jing did not deliberately observe Fang Lei, he had already found that Fang Lei was absent-minded. Now that he wants to leave, it is better to find a reason for Fang Lei to go with him by the way.
Fang Lei's mind was indeed not here, and after the trial, their actions would no longer be restricted. Thinking of Yunlan Island, there was also his sister Fang Yun, Fang Lei couldn't wait to go over to see him immediately.
But as soon as he landed on the island, he was regarded as the leader of the Luofu Sect and was invited here by Zhou Lao.
Now that Xu Jing has opened his mouth to break the siege, of course Fang Lei will not let go of this opportunity. hurriedly got up to say goodbye to Zhou Lao, and left with Xu Jing and the others.
Zhou Lao was suddenly the only one left in the room, sitting there with a bitter face, rubbing his forehead in embarrassment.
After a long time, he finally smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "It seems that this time, the old man is very much like the mouse in the bellows, and he is angry at both ends." At the moment, the attitude of these two people is resolute, and I am afraid that the Abyss Sacred Valley will not let me go. ”
Don't look at Zhou Lao's energy in Yunlan Island, and his status in the Yunhai Empire is also not low. But in the face of a behemoth like the three major sects, he also has no capital to compete.
During the trial of the sect's power, the sect cannot interfere. But every disciple in the great sect has a soul lamp.
The natal soul lamp can detect life and death, people are in the lamp, and people are dead.
Not long ago, the soul lamps of the disciples of the Luofu Sect and the Mirror Flower Palace were extinguished one after another. This made the two sects anxious, and they were already in a hurry to go to Yunlan Island to question Zhou Lao.
But because they couldn't interfere, they didn't deliberately make it difficult. After all, it is normal to have dead and injured during trials.
However, a few days ago, the soul lamps of Ding Hao and Gao Lin were extinguished one after another.
The Shura Sect and the Abyss Sacred Valley couldn't sit still at all, if the rules hadn't been set a long time ago, they would have ended the trial a long time ago.
Although the trial was not stopped, the high-level leaders of the three sects had already left their words. If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, Zhou Lao must be fully responsible for this matter!
Therefore, as soon as the trial was over, Zhou Lao invited Xu Jing and Fang Lei to ask about it.
Under this question, it made Zhou Lao break out in a cold sweat. The murderer was unexpected, it was actually Ding Hao, the dead genius of the Abyss Sacred Valley.
Not only did these two people say this, but all the rumors brought out by the people who left the island said that Ding Hao led the disciples of the Abyss Sacred Valley to slaughter other sect disciples in the Demon Spirit Island, causing panic and resentment.
This kind of truth, most of the sects of the Yunhai Empire agree. But only the Abyss Sacred Valley categorically refused to accept it, as long as the Abyss Sacred Valley did not accept it, Elder Zhou would also be in trouble.
So he thought of a way, in the name of catching the real murderer, to interrogate those trial targets who were tricked into Demon Spirit Island by him.
Once they are vague or say something wrong, they will take it down directly and punish them as the mastermind.
Zhou Lao originally planned to let Xu Jing and Fang Lei testify here, so that they could show their attitude of relieving their previous suspicions with the Abyss Sacred Valley and not caring about it.
It turned out that Zhou Lao was thinking too simply. He also underestimated Xu Jing's intelligence and adaptability, which led to the failure of his wishful thinking.
Xu Jing wants to leave, if Zhou Lao forcibly stops him, he will offend the two Wuding forces of Luofu Dazong and Jinghua Palace.
Let them go, and the Abyss Sacred Valley will not give up easily.
Moreover, Xu Jing's attitude has obviously told Zhou Lao that they don't agree with finding a scapegoat at random.
"Alas!" Old Man Zhou sighed and said with a wry smile on his face: "Right now, I can only hope that the Luofu Sect and the Mirror Flower Palace will not be too aggressive." ”
The greater the loss of the Abyss Sacred Valley, the more anger will burn against Zhou Lao, the person directly responsible!
Once the Abyss Sacred Valley suffers a big loss, let alone Zhou Lao, I am afraid that the entire Yunlan Island will suffer.
The development of the situation seems to have risen to a height that is difficult for Zhou Lao to deal with, but now, he is helpless.
As for the matter of interrogating the target of the trial, Zhou Lao still will not stop, hoping to find a clue from it and give an explanation to all parties.
In fact, what Zhou Lao suspected the most was Qin Yi and Lu Yu. Especially Qin Yi, even he can't see through it, obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp.
However, there is no evidence, and the information jade slip seems to be a record of elixir information, but in fact it has the intention of surveillance.
But the two of them are as clean as new, obviously by some means, blocking the surveillance.
No matter what means they used, without evidence, it would be difficult for Zhou Lao to move them easily.
