Chapter Eighty-Five: Night Detective
Back in the room, Aotian lay on the bed, carefully recalled the words of the female disciple just now, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.
In fact, this Sunu Villa, which has never allowed men to enter, suddenly held a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, which already made Aotian feel a little strange.
Now I heard that Ziyun is still in retreat and cultivating.
It stands to reason that her most proud disciple wants to hold a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, and she, as a master, must preside over the overall situation and arrange many matters for the martial arts competition and recruitment conference in a few days, but at this time, she still has the mind to retreat, which is really strange.
So Aotian thought about it and seemed to think that there was something hidden in it, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
"It's not good to stay here for a long time, it seems that I have to find a way to get the Golden Scale Grass out of here as soon as possible, since I can't ask for it openly, I can only take it secretly, for the sake of my father, this Golden Scale Grass must be obtained no matter what!" Aotian sat up from the bed again, and said secretly with a solemn face.
Immediately, he looked out the window slightly, the sky that had gradually darkened, and said secretly in his heart: "Without further ado, I will visit this plain girl villa at night tonight!"
Night covered the entire Sunu Villa, and after dinner, Aotian began to practice alone in his room, which did not end until late at night.
Pushing open the window and looking at the sky outside, Aotian felt that the time was almost up, so he quietly left the room through the window, and then quietly left the courtyard by taking advantage of the night, and ran into a bamboo forest.
According to the previous conversation between Na Hu Bo and the female disciple who led the way, Aotian could be sure that it was very likely that Dongzhuang and Beizhuang were living in the upper echelons such as Na Ziyun and his personal disciples.
And the place where the golden scale grass is planted is also likely to be in Dongzhuang or Beizhuang.
Therefore, after Aotian sneaked into the bamboo forest, he quickly left Nanzhuang and sneaked towards Dongzhuang.
Since it was late at night, there were very few female disciples walking around the villa, only some female disciples patrolling and keeping vigil occasionally passed by, but with his excellent spiritual power, Aotian could find those female disciples who were patrolling in time and avoid them smoothly.
Sneaking all the way, Aotian finally came to Dongzhuang smoothly.
Dongzhuang is very large, the scattered pavilions and pavilions almost from the lake, all the way to the east of the mountainside, there are countless large and small buildings in it, criss-crossing corridors, alleys are also like a labyrinth.
Therefore, it took Aotian a few hours to reluctantly go around the entire Dongzhuang, but because there were female disciples of the night vigil around many buildings. Therefore, Aotian could not get close, so he could only hide in the distance, using the light of the lanterns hanging around the building to observe the situation around the buildings.
But after some inspection, Aotian did not find a place that looked like a place to plant goldenrod. And according to the sun-loving habit of goldenrod, it is absolutely impossible for the planting land to be in the building.
"It seems that it is likely to be in Beizhuang!" Aotian secretly guessed in his heart, and immediately looked at the sky, feeling that the sky seemed to be about to brighten, so he immediately left Dongzhuang quietly and returned to Nanzhuang's room.
Late the next night, Aotian visited Beizhuang again at night, but like the night before, it was still fruitless, and he had no choice but to give up.
"Strange, could it be that the information given to me by the Sendong family is wrong?, or is the planting place too secret for me to find?"
In two nights, he almost searched Beizhuang and Dongzhuang, although he couldn't say that he didn't drop an inch, but there was basically nothing missing, but despite this, Aotian still didn't find the place where the golden scale grass was planted.
"Alas—I knew that I had brought Ling'er with Ling'er, so that she could help me sense the location of the Golden Scale Grass, so it would be easy!" Aotian suddenly remembered Mu Ling'er, but she was now far away in the northern part of the empire, and even if Aotian could fly, it would be too late to find her.
"I can only wait until tomorrow night to search again!" sighed helplessly, Aotian came to the bed and gradually fell asleep.
In the following two nights, Aotian carefully searched Dongzhuang and Beizhuang, but still did not find a place to plant the golden scale grass.
At this point, Aotian was a little disheartened, and even almost desperate.
Back in the room, Aotian lay on the bed but couldn't sleep, constantly speculating in his mind where the golden scale grass would be, remembering if he had missed something.
After thinking about it for a while, Aotian suddenly thought of something, couldn't help but sit up suddenly, and said secretly with a solemn face: "By the way, Xizhuang, could it be that the planting place will be in Xizhuang?"
Aotian felt that he had searched both Dongzhuang and Beizhuang, but Xizhuang ignored that although it was a place where ordinary disciples lived, perhaps the most unlikely place was the most probable.
"I'll go to Xizhuang tomorrow night to have a look!" Aotian lay down again, and his heart was much calmer, so he quickly fell asleep.
The next day, as soon as the sun showed a ray of brilliance, many people in the courtyard began to exercise in the morning, but most of these ** were escorts brought by various sons.
As early as the second day after Aotian and their arrival here, there were several other families and powerful sons and brothers, who came to Sunu Villa with their escorts and lived in this courtyard.
Therefore, in the past few days, the courtyard has been extremely lively, and the sons of various families are idle and boring to talk with each other, talking and laughing, or there are people like Hu Bo, hooking up with female disciples of the villa everywhere.
But there are also a few and two sons who think very highly of themselves, and they are not very willing to get along with other people, so they are alone in Nanzhuang and wander around.
However, in the past few days, there is one person who has become the focus of everyone, and that is the fake royal swordsmith who pretends to be Aotian.
After all, it hasn't been too long since the end of the Sword Forging Master Competition, and the craze set off by the name of Aotian has not faded, so these people have great admiration for Aotian who has created one miracle after another in the Sword Forging Master Competition, and they all want to try their best to please and befriend this peerless genius who is likely to become another Sword Forging Grandmaster in the empire in the future.
And the impostor was indeed a guy with a cheek comparable to the city wall, and in the face of the eager flattery and beautiful words of the children of the various families, he replied with a humble smile.
In the face of some generous gifts from the son-in-law brothers, he also accepted them all gladly, and casually promised those son-in-law brothers that he would come to help them refine the sword in the future.
In this regard, Aotian also saw it, he knew very well that this person was here to cheat money, and he accepted gifts and made promises, but he would never fulfill them, which would definitely damage his reputation.
Although Aotian was very angry in his heart, in order to get the Golden Scale Grass, he had to keep a low profile now, and he must not let himself become the focus of attention and be entangled by those sons.
So he can only indulge the imposter for the time being, and wait until the end of this martial arts competition to teach this bastard a good lesson.
The sun is on, and Aotian still hasn't woken up from his sleep, and today's courtyard is not as lively as before.
Because the day of the martial arts competition is approaching, the sons and brothers of each family also began to sharpen their guns, but in order not to reveal their hole cards, these sons and brothers are each looking for a secluded place in this Nanzhuang to practice martial arts.
After a long time, Hu Bo, who was sweating profusely, returned to the courtyard, and then sat down at the stone table under the willow tree to rest, and asked the female disciples in the courtyard to bring him a pot of tea and pour himself a drink.
"Brother Hu Bo has come back?" Hu Bo had just drunk a cup of tea when he heard Tian Lin's voice coming, and when he looked around, he saw Tian Lin also sweating profusely and coming over.
"I just came back, too!" said Hu Bo with a smile as he put down his teacup.
Tian Lin sat down at the stone table, drank a few cups of tea, and chatted with Hu Bo.
Then, the two of them just saw Aotian come out of the room, stood at the door and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, and stretched their waists.
"Brother Ao really likes to sleep lazily this day, since he came here, he basically gets up at this point every day, I really wonder if he secretly hooked up with a female disciple to bed, and overindulged in lust every night!" Hu Bo glanced at Aotian and said jokingly.
"You are the one who is the other, although the people get up late, but at a glance they know that the Dao is not overindulgent, I guess he is too hard to cultivate in the Bingxin Sect, and he finally went down the mountain to relax! By the way, did you kid hook up with a female disciple these nights, I seem to have heard movement in your room at night?" Tian Lin said with a wicked smile on his face.
"Tsk, don't talk nonsense, I want to maintain a good image in front of Miss Menghan, although these female disciples are not bad, but where can they compare to that Menghan!" said Hu Bo with a serious look.
"You really think that Menghan is your person, don't forget that there are other people like you, waiting to hold Menghan!"
"Hey, as long as that pervert of Wanji doesn't participate, I'm absolutely confident that I will win the first place!" Hu Bo patted his chest and said slowly.
"Do you think he's going to come and go, don't forget, that guy is notoriously!"
"But he's married, so he shouldn't be eligible to participate, right?"
"Please post it, but it's not allowed to be written!"
"Don't worry, even if he comes, I'm sure Meng Han won't choose him when he sees that guy's disgusting appearance!"
"Well, if you look at it, it's ...... so."
While Hu Bo and Tian Lin were chatting, several other sons and brothers also came back one after another, and then several of them also gathered under the willow tree and chatted with each other.
"See Second Senior Sister!" With a few respectful voices sounding in unison, I saw a few graceful figures walking into the courtyard, led by a beautiful woman in a snow-white dress.
Although this woman is very beautiful, there is a slight hint of meanness on her face, and her gaze also gives people a sense of coldness.
Behind him were veiled women in green clothes.
