Chapter 596: Third Senior Brother
There was an eerie silence in the room.
I don't know how long it took for Shui Xun'er to raise her hand, and said weakly, "That's it, what do you care, tell me about your intentions." β
The disciple pursed his lips and reported, "Wei Qian's soul lamp... extinguished. β
Shui Yu'er wanted to hold up the teacup to moisten her lips, but after hearing this, the cup cracked into several petals with a "pop".
But after all, it was a Yuanying monk, and after hearing the news, she quickly calmed down again, she sighed secretly, and there was a cold light in her eyes, which was floating in it, and for a while it was impossible to see what Shui Xuan'er was thinking.
"Where's Wei Xin?"
The disciple felt the coercion from the Yuanying Cultivator, and at this time, he was even more cold sweating.
He always felt that the next sentence was not good, and he was afraid that he would be killed under the palm of his master, but he hated his senior brothers and sisters, knowing that his master's temper was becoming more and more eccentric, and let him come...
But in the face of Master's question, he didn't dare not answer, but said slightly vaguely, "Wei Xin's soul lamp is still on." β
It's just that the water pods are so easy to fool.
"You think that's what I want to hear?"
The disciple knew that he probably wouldn't be able to escape this catastrophe, so he simply closed his eyes and said bluntly, "After Wei Xin left the secret realm, he lost his trace. β
"Is Su Jiu still alive?"
The disciple gritted his teeth and continued, "Still alive. β
"Then it seems that the rest of the people who followed secretly have also been wiped out. β
What Shui Xian'er said was very casual, but the disciple didn't dare to listen so casually.
"Who's in charge this time?"
There was a trace of hatred in the disciple's eyes: "It's the third senior brother." β
Shui Xing'er chuckled, "You answered this question quickly." β
The man lowered his head, could he not be happy, this was the person he hated the most, if it weren't for him, how could he be forced to join this mission.
Now that the mission has failed, the third senior brother asked him to report, isn't it just the idea of using him as cannon fodder?
When the time came, the master took the lead in punishing him, so that most of her anger dissipated, and the third senior brother came to ask for his guilt again, and the master said that it was impossible to ask for his life again.
It's really a good calculation.
It's a pity that he is soft-spoken in the sect, and he has no capital to resist if he wants to resist.
The transmission note in Shui Xuan'er's hand flashed away, and after a while, a fat man walked in.
He has always been smiling, as if there is nothing to worry about, it is difficult for strangers to be hostile to such a person who is born with a smiling face, and even his defense will unconsciously relax a little.
But it was this fat man, who seemed gentle and didn't have any lethal power, that drew him into this mission.
The cause is ridiculous, but more than ten years ago, he bought a bottle of the pill he needed at the auction, and the companions around the fat man hinted to him many times openly and secretly to let him give up the pill, but he also happened to be injured at that time, where was he willing to give up the pill he had finally obtained to others.
In order to avoid future troubles, he went into retreat on the same day, and while healing his injuries while cultivating, he would have to run out of pills when he left the retreat.
At the beginning, there were still many people from the third senior brother who were looking for trouble with him, until one day, the third senior brother happened to encounter this scene when he passed by, and he not only rescued him from these people, but also reprimanded those people.
At that time, he really thought that the third senior brother was a good person.
In the nearly ten years since then, he has almost always responded to this senior brother's needs. The third senior brother would occasionally take him out with him to experience and gain knowledge.
However, the good times don't last long, and what is pretended can only be pretended.
His mask, he still noticed it in the end.
That night, he had just obtained a new magic weapon, which was called "Wenyuan".
As the name suggests, this is a magic weapon related to hearing, and as long as he locks in one direction, he can eavesdrop on sounds far away, even farther than the range of his divine consciousness at the time.
Of course, it was also this magic weapon that allowed him to hear certain truths.
For example, the bottle of elixir was wanted by the third senior brother at the beginning, not those people who wanted him to hand it over.
For another example, that life-saving grace was arranged in advance by the third senior brother.
After that, he spent several days in a daze, and he began to think back to the ten years in which what he had given was not at all proportional to what he had received.
After thinking about it carefully, he knew the purpose of the third senior brother, this person was afraid that he would want to enslave him like this for the rest of his life.
He originally wanted to stay away from the Third Senior Brother from now on, because he felt that this person was too terrifying, but how could the Third Senior Brother let him go like this.
When the Third Senior Brother and the people around him noticed that he was starting to reject them, they also reacted that he wanted to get out of their control.
As a result, these people began to spread rumors wantonly in the sect, he was ungrateful, but it was not entirely rumor-mongering, after all, the drama they deliberately played in the early years was also true.
Not surprisingly, his reputation is notorious, and even if most people are reluctant to pay attention to the affairs of outsiders, there are some nosy people who give him so-called "good-natured" advice.
At this time, he finally realized how terrible this third senior brother was, even if his mask failed to deceive everyone, there were many people who believed in him more.
He thought that it would be good if his reputation stinked like this, at least he finally got rid of these people.
But the facts tell him that he is still too naΓ―ve.
This senior brother's favorite thing is probably righteous words and moral kidnapping.
For example, this mission, who is going to the secret realm to get the Death Bracelet this time?
Naturally, it was the Master.
Since he is a master, then as a disciple, he has the responsibility to help the master obtain this bracelet of rebirth.
At first, he thought that with the grudge of the third senior brother, he would definitely let him go to the secret realm in person, after all, the secret realm was the most dangerous place, and it was also the most suitable place to take his life.
But he was wrong, and after the mission began, almost everyone seemed to forget about his existence.
This also caused him to be a little confused for a while, just when he thought it was all over.
Bad news came from outside the sect, the mission failed, and the rebirth bracelet returned to the Zenyin Temple.
And it was at this time that everyone suddenly remembered him as a person.
Even now, he still remembers the disgusting face of the third senior brother, "Ah Yan, you are really lazy this time, in this way, I will give you a chance to make meritorious service for the crime, and you will report the situation to the master, and the master also knows in his heart that you are involved." β
After all, at this time in time, no one wants to go to the master to report, because seeing the master will bear the anger from the master, and he really has never done anything, so it is not surprising that he got the unanimous consent.
It's kind of being driven to the shelves.
It was also at this time that he finally realized what the third senior brother was calculating.
If the bracelet is successfully retrieved, all this credit has nothing to do with him, after all, although he hung up a task, he did not touch the slightest task-related matters, if he forcibly greedy for merit, maybe he will be ridiculed.
As for whether he can get the bracelet back, it is what he looks like now, and he bears all the anger of the master.
Therefore, from the very beginning of the matter, his senior brother calculated everything clearly.
