Chapter 61: Inextricably linked
Of course, if she hadn't chosen to come back, she wouldn't have found something interesting.
It's night, and it's silent.
The night gives a natural protective color.
When the people finally entered a state of rest after a day of partying, Chishui went out in a grand manner, and finally reached the destination - the highest treehouse.
Without letting her wait, the door opened silently and closed softly.
"You're here?" The patriarch sat quietly at the table, his head slightly tilted, without any hint of surprise.
Chi Shui also walked over to her and sat down again, complaining, "You're too tightly defended. ”
"Now, it seems that it is not tight enough." The clan elder said lightly.
Chi Shui smiled when he heard this, "I'll just take this as your compliment to me." ”
"Do you understand the problem that way?" The clan elder also asked in amazement, if so, then she could understand why he had chosen to act like that to disrupt her plans before.
Chi Shui avoided answering, and said meaningfully: "Then it depends on how you understand it." ”
The old clan's eyes flashed slightly, and he also smiled: "It seems that I underestimated you." ”
No one knew better than her how many secret hands she had placed around the treehouse, but all of this was useless in front of the person in front of her, and the other party came to the door generously without alerting any of the secret sentinels.
The clan elder was really surprised, it was very different from her assessment of Chishui.
However, if he didn't really have some ability, he wouldn't have chosen to wade into this troubled water.
"What do you want to know?"
Chi Shui pursed her lips and smiled, the clan elder deserved to be a clan elder, well versed in human nature, just a seemingly ordinary "I underestimated you", and easily erased her previous misjudgment, and then went straight to the point.
Is this going to be a city to be opened?
Chi Shui can also guess the other party's current state of mind, whether it is suspicion of her, whether it is watching her automatically send to the door, or thinking that she wants to fish in troubled water, the other party chooses to brake quietly.
If it were her, she would choose it that way.
Therefore, Chi Shui actually felt that she was very similar to the way of thinking of this clan elder, and she saw a trace of her future in this clan elder.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that they resonated with a knowing smile before.
It's just that they are different in one thing.
At this time, it was the clan elder who was in the game, and although Chi Shui also waded in, she could leave at any time, and she was better than the other party, even if she was slightly inferior in strategy, but she had more initiative and choices.
She wasn't in a hurry.
Moreover, she also expressed this point generously, first taking a sip of spiritual tea slowly, and then said slowly: "Then it depends on you, what do you want to tell me." ”
When the old man heard this, his face condensed slightly.
She showed a frank attitude because she was sure that Chishui didn't know the inside story, so she would definitely not be able to ask the key, which made it easier for her to control the right to speak, however, the other party avoided answering and kicked the ball back.
In other words, aren't you going to be honest? Then you can watch it first! I'm waiting?
Hehe!
The clan elder has not encountered such a difficult opponent for many years, should it be said that the future is terrifying?
"If I say it's okay now......"
"Then I'm not here." Chi Shui interrupted her, said directly, stood up, lifted his feet and left.
"Wait!" The old man's eyes glanced at him faintly, "Just say if, are you still serious?" ”
Chi Shui said a little helplessly: "It's not true, what are you talking about?" ”
Isn't this trying to test you?
Although both of them knew it, the clan elder still felt a little blocked, and finally gave up his previous plan, and said, "Before I make the situation clear, shouldn't you also be honest?" First of all, explain your intentions? ”
When Chi Shui heard this, he said very casually: "I didn't lie to you, I really traveled here, I accidentally met Yan Qi, saw his golden pupils, and became interested for a while, so I proposed to visit, and you know the back." ”
Isn't it that before we have time to elaborate, the accident has come?
To put it bluntly, she's actually a fungiper?
But he didn't want the old man of the clan to ask, "You don't want to beat my clan's golden pupils, right?" ”
"You're thinking too much." Chi Shui was not frightened at all, and added an extra label to this clan elder in his heart - wise and suspicious!
The old man smiled lightly, which was a tacit acquiescence.
It was just another temptation, and the ability shown by Chi Shui was enough to attract her attention, so she inevitably had to be more cautious.
"Well, if you can really get through the difficulties this time, I'll tell you everything you want to know about the golden pupil."
This clan elder is really a resolute person, and he also knows that Chishui has something to ask for, which is more beneficial to her.
Chishui nodded, not refusing.
She has decided to wade into this troubled water, and naturally she doesn't mind seeking a little more benefit for herself.
"Can you say it now?" To be honest, it's very tiring to fight each other like this, this time he asked Chishui.
The old man of the clan may have known that Chi Shui had something to ask for, and finally let down his guard, but he was not in a hurry, and said innocently: "Haven't you already found out?" Otherwise, you wouldn't have decided to stay, would you? ”
Chishui was also speechless.
Therefore, it is inevitable that two people who are also quick thinking and are still strangers will get together.
Who said you won't get tired when you deal with people who are equally smart?
"I want to know the whole truth." Chishui didn't accept this stubble at all, and directly put forward his own requirements.
Her tone was natural, flat and straightforward, without any emotion, but the old man of the clan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and seemed to finally begin to face up to the seemingly inconspicuous person in front of him, what was extraordinary about him?
There was no more unnecessary temptation, she said very succinctly: "This has to start with the disappearance of Yan Qi and his third uncle, because there is nothing abnormal about their soul cards, and we only thought that they had strayed into some secret realm or space at first, so we sent a large number of clansmen to investigate the place before their disappearance......
"The result?"
The clan elder smiled bitterly: "As a result, you have also seen, not only have people not been found, but the number of missing people has greatly increased. ”
"And then?"
"Then, of course, I realized that this was not an accident, but a conspiracy specifically against my clan, so I strengthened my vigilance and restrained my clan from staying in the clan's land......"
This makes sense, because they converge their wings in case of accidents, and those Xiaoxiao in the outside world will take advantage of the situation to surround them and look for opportunities?
Chi Shui suddenly asked, "Then how did Yan Qi run out?" ”
"Of course he sneaked out, he probably saw that I was annoyed, so he wanted to be a bait to lure out the people behind the scenes." Speaking of Yan Qi, the patriarch's face softened slightly.
Chishui: "......"
It's still a child, right?
“…… So, I'm throwing myself into the net? ”
Although she is also pushing the boat along the river, Yan Qi is worthy of being brought up by the person in front of her, and her acting is also very natural.
"Of course I know you're not behind the scenes." The clan elder said in an affirmative tone.
"Oh?" Chishui showed a slight look of doubt.
"There's no murderous aura in you." The patriarch said calmly.
Chi Shui asked rhetorically: "Aren't you afraid that I'm pretending?" ”
"Of course, it's not just about murder." The clan elder only shook his head and smiled: "However, I still looked away. ”
"Don't worry about the details." Chi Shui pulled back the topic that had gone astray, "Next is the point, right?" ”
"That's right!" The patriarch leaned lightly on the back of the chair, and said unhurriedly: "Just when I was about to use all the strength of the clan to fight against the water, Yan Qi, his third uncle, and all the missing people came back with all their tails. ”
"What did they say?"
"How else can I say it, just like we guessed before, I strayed into a secret place and was trapped for a long time before I found my way back."
Chi Shui didn't believe it, "Have you checked?" ”
"It's a real person, yes!" Speaking of this, the clan elder finally had a serious look, and said solemnly: "I have also interrogated them in detail, and also checked their bodies and souls, and even sent people to the so-called secret place to have a look, but they have not found anything abnormal. ”
"But you're still suspicious." Chishui sighed: "There is no doubt, it is the biggest suspicion!" ”
"That's right! That's what you say. "It was only with a wealth of experience and a strong intuition that the clan elder was sure that there was something wrong with this.
And Chishui, in a direct word, can be said to be quite incisive.
Moreover, she was the only one known to the clan elder who had also discovered the anomaly besides herself, so she had only asked Chishui before what she had discovered. Because she wanted to know.
It's just that Chishui didn't pick up the stubble, so she couldn't do it.
At this point, I can't help but ask again, "Now, it's time for you to say, what did you find?" ”
"Of course I found out—" Chi Shui paused slightly, and seeing that the clan elder was really interested, he said, "I'm sure and sure, they are under control." ”
The elder looked at her quietly, waiting for the following.
It wasn't surprising to come to this conclusion, what she really wanted to hear was evidence.
Chishui tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, and said with some hesitation: "I don't know if you have heard of the Tianyun Gate?" Or is it the Spirits? ”
If it was said that the Tianyun Gate, the clan elder was still vaguely at a loss, and when Chishui talked about the Yunling clan, the clan elder's entire complexion changed, she stood up and forced Chishui to say: "Is this true?" ”
"Believe it or not." If you say more, Chishui won't say much.
But just the massive amount of information contained in this sentence has surprised the clan elder inexplicably, and the amount of gain made her unable to maintain her calmness anymore, her face flickered and sunny, and she finally suddenly realized, "It turned out to be the remnants of the Yunling clan...... That's right...... And only they ......."
I have to say that whether it is the Crossing Continent or these continents, the Yunling clan is notorious and miserable.
Chishui sighed in his heart.
She also didn't expect that in this distant world, she could still be inextricably linked with this clan.
It can only be said that fate is also quite magical.
