Chapter 184 (Confrontation on the Mountain)
Seeing this, Zhao Lingwei's heart suddenly cooled a little, this situation can only mean that no one has lived in this room for a long time, and no one has cleaned it, so it will look like this.
It has been less than two months since he went down the mountain, and he was able to accumulate so much dust, which means that not long after he went down the mountain, Zhao Lingyun and the others also went down the mountain.
Ling Xiao looked around the room, his fingers swiped across the tabletop, his brows furrowed, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the door.
Zhao Lingwei took the lead and walked out, and a person with a wide mouth and a square face and a cloak greeted him, although this person covered half of his face, he exuded an indescribable weird feeling.
But Zhao Lingwei still recognized this person at a glance, it was the senior brother Hou Wenyi, who had not seen him for a long time, and the reason why he covered half of his face was because his ears were cut off by Yue Hu's secret weapon. Just as Zhao Lingwei's eyes were staring at Hou Wenyi, he also saw Zhao Lingwei.
Hou Wenyi heard from his disciple that the little junior sister was back, full of disbelief, he thought that the little junior sister would come back sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, and he hurried over before he had time to clean up and dress up.
I really saw that the woman he missed day and night, the little junior sister was still so immortal, and she hadn't seen her for a few months, and she had a little more of a different charm.
At that moment, he couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Little junior sister, you're back, you're really back..."
And when he glanced at Ling Xiao, the strange man beside his junior sister, he was full of hostility and said: "Why is another man following the little junior sister?"
Zhao Lingwei took a few steps closer, frowned slightly and asked, "Senior brother, where did my father and mother go?"
Hou Wenyi seemed to have prepared his words, and said without thinking: "Master and Master have all gone down the mountain and have not returned, don't you know?"
Zhao Lingwei asked in a deep voice: "Where did they go?" Hou Wenyi said calmly: "Master and Master went to the Wudang Sect together."
Zhao Lingwei was angry, and shouted: "You are talking nonsense" While speaking, he suddenly drew his sword and rushed towards Hou Wenyi, and immediately pointed at Hou Wenyi's chest, and the disciple next to him was about to rush up when he saw this, but Zhao Lingwei did not go further.
Hou Wenyi waved his hand and motioned for everyone to retreat, Zhao Lingwei couldn't help but tremble when she saw this, and thought: "Could it be that Senior Brother Taishan is really controlled by Hou Wenyi as Uncle Yue said?"
Hou Wenyi let Zhao Lingwei's sword go, pointed at himself and said with a smile: "Little junior sister, what's wrong with you, what I'm telling is the truth"
Zhao Lingwei said coldly: "Senior brother, what have you done to my father?"
Hou Wenyi said: "The master and the master have indeed gone down the mountain, their two elders are as kind to me as a mountain, I am the master's eldest disciple, it is too late to repay, how can I do anything to be sorry for the master, these days I have been carefully following the master's orders, taking care of Mount Tai up and down, now the senior sister, you will come back, I will have a helper?" said and showed a happy look.
Zhao Lingwei was extremely disgusted when she saw this, and suddenly felt that Hou Wenyi's face was extremely hateful, and immediately shouted: "Hou Wenyi, you don't have to be pretty, I know what you do, hurry up and confess."
Hou Wenyi said with an aggrieved face: "Little junior sister, what have I done, what are you going to make me confess, is it that someone said something to you, instigating you to suddenly face me with a sword"
Zhao Lingwei thought about it, there is indeed nothing that can make Hou Wenyi confess, and he has no evidence, many things are still a mystery, if Hou Wenyi is forcibly killed, it may be difficult to convince the public.
Hou Wenyi saw Zhao Lingwei, his expression changed, and then said: "Little junior sister, you are still young, senior brother knows, martial arts has been extremely unquiet recently, all sects and factions are vying for fame and fortune, I have always been worried about your safety, junior sister, now seeing that senior sister came back safe and sound, senior brother is relieved."
He paused and continued: "Someone instigated you to attack your own people, you are young and ignorant, senior brother does not blame you, you wait on the mountain, I want the master to come back soon"
Zhao Lingwei calmed down, thought about what Hou Wenyi said in her heart, and felt that what he said was indeed seamless, but the more this happened, the more he felt that this person's words were suspicious, and with Yue Hu's experience of being poisoned and killed in Mount Tai and unsuccessfully, it made him dare not relax at all.
So he sneered and asked: "Senior brother, I went to the Wudang Sect, but I didn't see my father and them, do you say it's strange, where will they go?"
Hou Wenyi's pupils shrank, and then he said: "The little junior sister has been to Wudang Mountain, but I haven't seen the master, so where did the master go, but I think the master and the master are strong in martial arts, and they bring all the junior brothers, so there shouldn't be anything."
Hou Wenyi looked at Zhao Lingwei after speaking, but he seemed relatively calm at this time, the more Zhao Lingwei was like this, the more he seemed to be a little flustered for some reason.
Zhao Lingwei said: "I heard a junior brother say that Daddy and they went on a journey, didn't Daddy ever order anything to go down the mountain?"
Hou Wenyi secretly scolded the disciple for making a mistake, but he had already prepared a statement, so he was not afraid of Zhao Lingwei's question, and hurriedly said: "Little junior sister, you have been walking around the rivers and lakes recently, you should know that the rivers and lakes are extremely unpeaceful now, and all forces are fighting openly and secretly;
Zhao Lingwei listened to Hou Wenyi, and also settled down Yue Hu's matter, and said secretly: "I didn't expect Senior Brother Hou to become so cunning"
Zhao Lingwei thought for a moment, sighed in her heart, and said: "Yes, the rivers and lakes have indeed been surging recently, especially the Dongying people are rampant, and they dare to attack Shaolin and Wudang, our Taishan faction is only one of the five sword factions, and now that my grandfather is gone, my Taishan faction is also in danger."
Hou Wenyi said: "Yes" As soon as the words came out, he regretted it a little, and hurriedly made a look of surprise, and exclaimed: "What Dongying people?" Seeing Hou Wenyi's contrived reaction, Zhao Lingwei's heart couldn't help but sink, she had a glimmer of hope for Hou Wenyi, but now it seems that Hou Wenyi really has something to do with Dongying people.
Zhao Lingwei's sword shook, and she got a few inches closer, and she had already pasted Hou Wenyi's clothes, but Hou Wenyi was extremely deep, and he just pretended to be casual, and he didn't move.
Even Ling Xiao, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but admire him a little, Hou Wenyi smiled and said: "Senior sister, what are you doing, if you really provoke something junior sister, you are not happy, it is better to find me to be angry."
Zhao Lingwei said coldly: "Do you think I don't dare?" Hou Wenyi is actually gambling, at such a close distance, if Zhao Lingwei really makes any moves, he can't dodge, so his back is also sweating.
Hou Wenyi's heart moved and said: "By the way, junior sister, the master instructed me when he went down the mountain, if you come back, junior sister, let you cultivate well on the mountain, and wait for them to come back."
Zhao Lingwei said: "You have already said this just now, there is no need to pretend to act anymore, to be honest, you colluded with the Dongying people, what happened to my father and mother, if you don't explain honestly today, don't blame my sister for not thinking about the same family."
