Chapter 20: Confrontation in the Dark
As everyone knows, the reason why Miao Yinghan was able to let Empress Miao accept him as a male disciple was not only because this person was extremely talented, but also because his style of acting was impeccable.
After Zhao Feikong saw this person, he couldn't help but secretly say, "That's really the case."
Miao Yinghan is tall and handsome, and he is born with a very infectious temperament: "It's been a long time since Miao Village has had a distinguished guest like the director!"
"You're polite, the scenery of Miao Village also amazes me. What's more, it was also an honor for me to be able to participate in the 'Post-Seedling Conference' in person. β
Miao Yinghan saw that Zhao Feikong said about the "Seedling Conference", and immediately continued this topic: "What does Director Wang think about this Miao Hou re-election?"
Zhao Fei pretended to be confused: "Opinion, I don't understand what you mean." β
"Director Wang must be surprised, why did I want to come to see you tonight. Miao Yinghan said directly and honestly.
His calmness really made people feel good, Zhao Feikong said: "Yes, I would like to hear it in detail." β
Miao Yinghan smiled again, as if she was in a happy mood. But it doesn't seem frivolous, but it makes people feel that this is a tacit understanding when the two are in the same camp.
This is a degree that is difficult for many people to deliberately woo.
"Master gave us an exam question. He blinked, leaned closer and said, "She plans to let the four of us, each of whom put Gu on the body of the director of the association, and can successfully remove the Gu worms planted by the other three." Whoever can survive to the end will inherit the position of the queen seedling. β
Empress Miao's exam questions were indeed unexpected, she didn't take the lives of Zhao Feikong and the others into account at all, and actually used their bodies as a competition arena, which showed the strangeness of the Miao Gu faction.
Zhao Feikong admired Miao Yinghan's courage a little, and he was able to tell himself such an important secret so easily, but he didn't know what he was trying to do.
"But there are two of us, how do you choose?" Zhao Feikong asked with a worried look.
Miao Yinghan saw that Zhao Feikong was not angry, but looked worried and afraid, and hurriedly replied: "In the end, Miao Hou confirmed Director Zhang Zhou as the object of this exam. β
This completely touched Zhao Feikong's scales, although he was indifferent on the outside, it was only for outsiders. For those close to you, they are not allowed to be hurt in the slightest. Since the death of his master, although he has met friends like Fu Fengyu and respected elders like Master Tai, the only thing that can really make him feel like a relative when he gets along with him is the ignorant and naΓ―ve Mingyu, who has always taken care of Mingyu as his own brother.
His tone cooled: "Is this a provocation to the association?"
Miao Yinghan was not worried about Zhao Feikong's anger: "Master's temperament has become more and more weird in the past few years, maybe she just changed her mind on a whim and changed her mind in a few days." Hehe, she's probably sick and confused. β
He gently teased Empress Miao between his words, which attracted Zhao Feikong's attention.
Seeing that Zhao Feikong was deep in thought, he said, "Don't worry, director. Miao Village used to have traffic blockage and backward life, so it was conservative. But after so many years of development, people have gradually stopped clinging to the rules as before.
"The new idea, the new order, has taken root in people's hearts little by little. Although Miao Hou has a high status, she can no longer cover the sky with one hand.
"The association has been in charge of the warlock world for many years, and the results achieved are obvious to all. Now that the association happened to be at such a critical moment, it sent two high-ranking members of the board of directors to Miao Village, so they must have their own plans, right? Don't you want to cooperate with a Miao Gu faction that is more open-minded and flexible?"
Miao Yinghan is a competent negotiator, and the people Zhao Feikong has met before are all exaggerated compared to him.
But what Zhao Feikong wanted was more practical: "But we can't even guarantee the safety in front of us." β
"That's what I'm here for, and that's what I promise. β
"What about Empress Miao and the other three disciples?"
"That's right, that's the crux of the matter. His tone seemed as if the two had formed an alliance: "The Miao Gu faction never condescends to others, this is the unanimous opinion of the three of the Miao Empress and my fellow disciples. If the Miao Gu Sect is allowed to develop like this, then there will inevitably be an inevitable dispute between the Association and the Miao Gu Sect. Only by cutting off the possibility of this at the root can the association rest easy. β
Zhao Feikong felt that his position was almost shaken, he had never seen such a convincing person. I have to admit that with Zhao Feikong's investigation, Miao Yinghan's words are very sincere and there is no false element.
Zhao Feikong said: "But this is just a hypothesis. β
"The battle for the future is still far away, but the current crisis is imminent. I think that even if Director Wang hasn't figured out the position of the association, he should always care about the safety of the two of them, right?"
Zhao Feikong didn't plan to give an answer so early, but he should give a little affirmation and assurance to Miao Yinghan's enthusiastic suggestion: "You want us to help you get that position?"
"Giving is always reciprocal. Of course the help is mutual, isn't it?"
Zhao Feikong still didn't plan to let go: "How are you going to deal with the other three Miao Hou disciples?"
"If you don't want to sit still, you have to start first. On the surface they are in the dark, but you are in the light. But our cooperation has turned things around, and it is we who really take the initiative. β
The word "active" suddenly reminded Zhao Feikong, and he became vigilant. Miao Yinghan's seemingly frank conversation was actually full of coercion and temptation, as well as a hint of suspicion.
Is Miao Yinghan's real purpose just that?
Zhao Feikong knew that he had already entered a battlefield and could be sacrificed as a stepping stone at any time.
Miao Yinghan has been describing an uneasy future and a dangerous present, but he has never given the real price.
Zhao Feikong needed something more substantial, and he immediately showed a little cowardice: "I have to think about this again." I don't have the authority to make such a big decision for the association. β
"What are you hesitating about!" Miao Yinghan's face flashed with a hint of fierceness, but he immediately changed his tone: "It's because I'm too anxious, the two directors just arrived today, and they should have a good rest first." Then I won't bother anymore today, and you can think about it. β
"Where, thanks for the reminder. I will discuss it with Director Zhang again, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. β
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it. Miao Yinghan showed her signature hearty laugh.
After Zhao Feikong sent Miao Yinghan away, he fell into deep contemplation.
This Miao Gu Sect was much more complicated than he had imagined, and just seeing a Miao Yinghan today had already made him almost overwhelmed.
I don't know what else awaits him behind him.
Strange, why is it that the delusion that has never stopped, but there is no sound at this time?
Zhao Feikong opened the door of Mingyu's room and saw that he had already slept, so he relieved himself and quietly closed the door.
Wrong!
He pushed open the door again and walked in, and Master Tai's voice followed: "He has been deceived!"
"Is it Miao Yinghan?"
"Not necessarily. Many of the Gu of the Miao Gu Sect can be played without the presence of the Gu Master himself. β
"Is he in any danger?"
"It doesn't look like it will be for the time being, but we have to find the person who caused the Gu as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. β
Unexpectedly, on the first day they entered Miao Village, things had already developed in an uncontrollable direction.
