Chapter 542 Something Happened
In the living room, there is a table for four people.
"What? Is this an order from the island owner?" Zhao Yue sat in the east and asked in surprise.
"That's right." Wu Cheng, who was sitting on the west side, nodded and replied.
"Did the island owner say how many people went there?" Zhao Yue pondered for a while, then asked again.
"Yes, there are four people in total, me, you, Wan Lao, and the newcomer Hong Yi under Wan Lao's command." Wu Cheng replied indifferently.
"Hong Yi?" Hearing this, Zhao Yue's beautiful eyes moved, and then she suddenly guessed: "Could it be that this trip was proposed by Wan Lao?"
"Huh? How do you know?" Wu Cheng was taken aback, as if he had grasped something important, he asked directly.
"Of course I guessed. After all, this task is still somewhat difficult. If we are unlucky, failure is not impossible. In this case, Wan Lao will actually bring a newcomer to perform it, saying that There is no problem in it, so there is something wrong?" Zhao Yue said with a thought.
As for the intruders, except for the four people on the island who were fully informed, the others were still kept in the dark, so Wu Cheng naturally didn't know the true meaning of what Zhao Yue said.
It's just that Wu Cheng is not a fool. After careful observation, he also found some abnormalities in Zhao Yue, but he also understood that there are some things that the other party doesn't want to say, so there are naturally reasons why she doesn't want to say it, so he doesn't Without further questioning, he just praised softly: "So that's the case! Miss Zhao is indeed a smart person."
"Smart people don't dare to be smart, it's just some facts, but I would like to know why Brother Wu, who completed this task early, chose to go together?" Zheng Xie seemed to change the subject on purpose, and asked.
"Of course it's because of some reasons, so I'm sorry I can't say more about it." Wu Cheng said without changing his expression.
"Can't you say it? Hehe! No problem." Zhao Yue replied.
"Then we'll be here first. At noon tomorrow, we'll meet at the west pier." Wu Cheng said bluntly, and then slowly stood up.
"Okay!" Zhao Yue responded.
Afterwards, Wu Cheng left the compound, but before he left, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zheng Xie who was sitting in the south, and an inexplicable emotion seemed to flash across.
And Zheng Xie was slightly taken aback. Although he and Mao Xiaoyun, who was sitting in the north, hadn't spoken to each other, he kept looking at Wu Cheng, like a real newcomer.
It wasn't until Wu Cheng was completely gone that he eased his expression and turned his gaze to Zhao Yue.
But before they could say more about him, Mao Xiaoyun who was on the side suddenly said: "Tsk! I really envy that Hong Yi, who can act together with so many seniors. Why don't I have such a good opportunity?" ?”
"Opportunity? Hmph, do you think this is an opportunity?" Zheng Xie asked with a pretended mysterious smile.
"Of course it's an opportunity!" Mao Xiaoyun replied without hesitation: "With seniors around, basically there is no danger, and it can also increase knowledge and experience, and learn from seniors' handling methods when performing tasks. In short, there are such a series of benefits, so this kind of thing is naturally an opportunity for a newcomer!"
"Really? It seems that your chance is really cheap!" Zheng Xie shook his head inexplicably.
"Eh? Brother, what do you mean by that?" Mao Xiaoyun didn't understand.
"What do you mean? Don't you really know that this is not just an opportunity, but also an invisible test?" Zheng Xie asked again.
"Test?" Mao Xiaoyun frowned, more confused.
"That's right, it's an invisible test. You have to know that when newcomers perform missions with seniors, if they can't play any role, and when the mission is in danger, guess what those seniors will do. ?”
"Eh? This?" Mao Xiaoyun was speechless.
"Hehe! Most likely they will choose to abandon the newcomer!" Zheng Xie said truthfully.
"But the mission doesn't have to be dangerous! What if tomorrow is an easy mission?" Mao Xiaoyun retorted.
"Simple task? Huh!" Zheng Xie said with a little disdain: "Mao Xiaoyun, Mao Xiaoyun! Your hearing is too bad! Do you really think that a simple task will make two life-striking realms complete, and one Will the people in the early stages of the life-determination stage carry out it?"
"Eh?" Mao Xiaoyun raised her brows again, her eyes opened slightly, and she seemed to finally understand what Zheng Xie said.
"Hmph! Did you think of it? This is an invisible test! You must know that for newcomers, it is not suitable to go through this level of tasks so quickly, because the probability of accidents is too high, but Wan Lao can't do it. I want to take Hong Yi with me, this can only explain two things..."
"Either Hongyi's talent is high, and in less than ten days, he has reached the level of being able to see difficult tasks, or there is some other reason for the old man who brought him, otherwise, a newcomer , A cultivator who has just started, what qualifications does he have to squeeze in among a lot of people at the final stage?" Zheng Xie's tone seemed to have a touch of determination as he said.
"This? I..." At this moment, when Zheng Xie said this, Mao Xiaoyun immediately doubted his own understanding.
"Think about it! Think about whether this is an opportunity."
After finishing speaking, Zheng Xie stopped talking, slowly got up, and walked out of the living room, and with him, of course, was his mentor - Zhao Yue.
Both of them didn't pay attention to Mao Xiaoyun who was stunned in place, they just went to a very secret place one by one, as if they were deliberately avoiding Mao Xiaoyun, which seemed a little strange.
"Isn't it a little bad for you to lie to this little girl like this?" Zhao Yue, who had watched the whole play just now, looked at Zheng Xie in front of her with beautiful eyes, and said softly.
"What's wrong? What I said is the truth! Besides, can you guarantee that Wan Lao won't do anything to Hongyi in this mission? I think this should be impossible!" Zheng Xie said seriously .
"Okay! It's true that I can't deny it, so what do you think Elder Wan should do? Find a chance to kill Hong Yi?" Zhao Yue asked.
"Killing requires evidence, especially on Haidong Island, where rules are paramount, so I don't think Wan Lao will be so stupid!" Zheng Xie rubbed his chin and guessed.
"Then what if there is an accident?" Zhao Yue asked again.
"This is a method. If Hong Yi is allowed to die perfectly in an accident, then even if Wan Tianxing himself interrogates Wan Lao, he can't do anything to Wan Lao. But if Wan Lao really intends to do this, then why bother?" Let you go with him? Assassinate a person, shouldn't the less irrelevant people the better?" Zheng Xiesi thought.
But Zhao Yueyou couldn't figure it out, she hesitated for a while, and then said: "This is not true, that is not true, what is Wan Lao's goal?"
"It should be proof!" At this moment, Zheng Xie's eyes lit up, and he said.
"Proof?" Hearing this, Zhao Yuexiu raised her eyebrows, and her confusion deepened, but she was also a smart woman, and after careful consideration, she soon understood.
"Could it be that he wants to use this mission to prove that Hong Yi is the invader?" Zhao Yue whispered.
"It should be like this! After all, someone used to play cards to test me, so it is not impossible for Wan Lao to use a mission to make the intruder show his fox tail." Zheng Xie said softly.
"It feels...it seems a bit dangerous to say." Zhao Yue said again.
"It's very dangerous. After all, that guy is a cultivator of the sky-gazing realm. Even if you put together, he probably won't be his opponent. So I think, Wan Lao will only try it out secretly! As for The action after confirming the answer may still be on Haidong Island!" Zheng Xie speculated.
"Going to test it secretly? It's quite in line with his approach." Zhao Yue said.
"That's why! Your action this time is definitely extremely dangerous, because that person is a sick person! If he is really taken away from the island, then he will probably attack everyone directly. After all, you and I We all know that his purpose is to kill the people around Wan Tianxing, that is, you cultivators who have completed the final stage of life." Zheng Xie said.
"Hey! Hearing what you said, why do I feel that I am doomed this time!" Zhao Yue said a little worriedly.
"What is doomed? Isn't it okay if you don't go?" Zheng Xie said disapprovingly.
"Not going? How is it possible?" Zhao Yue shook her head.
"Why is it impossible?" Zheng Xie asked back: "I believe that as long as you say that relatives are here and it is not convenient to go out, Wan Lao and the island owner will understand."
"Relatives? I have been with my brother since I was a child, so I don't have any relatives!" Zhao Yue asked doubtfully.
"Tsk! You're mistaken. The relative I'm talking about is not the relative you think. Don't you know? There is a kind of relative that is shared by all women, so women should understand it. After all, men understand it. Ah!" Zheng Xie coughed dryly twice, and said somewhat unnaturally.
"What do you understand? I don't know what you are talking about at all. After all, you are not from the Emperor Demon Realm. There must be some differences between you and me, so you should be normal!" Zhao Yue said.
"Okay, okay! I really don't know what to say, I don't even know my relatives." Zheng Xie shrugged helplessly, and then motioned for Zhao Yue to approach him.
Zhao Yue was slightly suspicious, but out of trust in Zheng Xie, she still came to his side, and then Zheng Xie spoke the true meaning of the words "relatives" into Zhao Yue's ear.
It's just that just after Zheng Xie finished speaking, Zhao Yue's face immediately turned red, and her delicate body was also in an inexplicable panic, and she couldn't help taking a few steps back. Xie's words seem to be at a loss, which is really a bit embarrassing.
"You...you..." Zhao Yue looked at Zheng Xie, not knowing what to say.
"Oh! What are you! Aren't you a relative? It makes it seem like you don't have one, so ah! You women are troublesome!" Zheng Xie suddenly said something masculine.
But Zhao Yue was a little dissatisfied when she heard this sentence, she pouted for the first time, and said a little angrily: "Women are embarrassed to talk about this matter! What's more, I... …I……"
"What? Make it clear!" Zheng Xie looked at Zhao Yue, puzzled.
"Actually... Actually... Actually, you don't know that after a woman has profound strength, she can freely adjust some of her body's conditions, so I..." Zhao Yue said more and more embarrassed.
But even if Zhao Yue didn't say the last words, Zheng Xie had vaguely guessed some of the follow-up, he was slightly startled, his eyes were slightly surprised, and then he asked tentatively: "Could it be that ...You really haven't visited your relatives for a long time?"
Zhao Yue didn't reply, just nodded lightly amid shortness of breath.
"Oh! This is really troublesome!" Zheng Xie frowned subconsciously.
As a "gentleman of integrity", Zheng Xie didn't care about those things that shouldn't be cared about. Anyway, he didn't know much about those things within relatives.
At the same time, Zhao Yue also sighed, and after calming down the inexplicable feelings in his heart, he continued: "Actually, I have thought of a way myself, mainly depending on whether you are willing or not."
"Huh? What way?" Zheng Xie asked in confusion.
