365: Chapter 365 True or False?

He definitely had to give Face to the Canghai Sword Pavilion.

Otherwise, he might not even be able to leave Dongchao City.

But now it was basically confirmed that the person they were looking for was inside the Huaqing Pavilion.

This time, they had to bring the person back no matter what.

The matter ended just like that.

This left the surrounding people feeling bored.

They all dispersed one by one.

At the same time,

inside the room where Lin Ming was staying.

The door was opened once again.

This time, the one opening the door wasn't Li Zhiting, but another beautiful woman.

She walked straight into the room.

"Madam Yi."

When Lan Qin saw Madam Yi, she also greeted her.

Madam Yi was the person with the most authority in the entire Huaqing Pavilion, second only to the Chief Manager.

"The boss likes to disturb others, and the employees are the same."

Seeing this, Lin Ming opened his eyes and complained.

Couldn't they let him enjoy himself for a bit?

"The Chief Manager's order is for me to deliver a letter to you."

Madam Yi took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Lin Ming.

"A letter? Are you sure it's for me?"

Lin Ming asked in return.

"That's right."

Madam Yi nodded.

"Where is your manager? If there's something to say, why can't she say it in person?"

Lin Ming continued to ask.

"The manager left the Huaqing Pavilion two days ago, and her whereabouts are unknown,"

Madam Yi said.

Two days ago, Li Zhiting had suddenly departed.

Madam Yi had only seen two letters.

One was for herself, and the other was for Lin Ming.

Seeing this, Lin Ming's Divine Thought poured into the Jade Slip.

Immediately after, Lin Ming's expression gradually became strange.

His gaze then fell upon Xiao Yun.

At this moment, Lin Ming realized that Xiao Yun was not human.

To be precise, Xiao Yun was of the Sea Race, and not just any ordinary member of the Sea Race.

Without Li Zhiting's reminder, Lin Ming wouldn't have bothered to investigate a little girl; there was no need for it.

Furthermore, Lin Ming discovered that this little girl had a special treasure on her person.

It was precisely this special treasure that concealed the little girl's identity.

A treasure sufficient to deceive those in the Other Shore Realm.

The contents of the letter were for Lin Ming to take Xiao Yun out of Dongchao City, bring her back to Yuanxu Mountain, and hand her over to his Revered Master.

As for the reason...

he would only know once he handed her over to Master Yun Hua.

This left Lin Ming completely baffled.

Inexplicably foisting a person on him to be handed over to his Revered Master.

There was nothing regarding Xiao Yun's identity.

However, Lin Ming saw through to Xiao Yun's true form—a fish.

A fish that looked a bit strange.

But Lin Ming wouldn't just bring this little girl back to the Sect like that.

Just because of a request from Li Zhiting?

Lin Ming didn't think he was that accommodating.

Unless Li Zhiting could tell him why—why he had to take this little girl away.

Perhaps then he would give it a small amount of consideration.

But not now, with only a so-called request.

"This is the token."

Madam Yi took out a medallion and placed it before Lin Ming.

On this medallion was written the character 'Yuan', the same 'Yuan' as in Yuanxu Mountain.

The holder of this medallion could request Yuanxu Mountain to do one thing for them.

It was actually not much different from the scales of the Merfolk Clan.

It seemed Li Zhiting had anticipated he would refuse and prepared this for him.

However, the number of these items ever issued was extremely small.

Lin Ming took the medallion.

It was the real deal.

This medallion was actually authentic.

Could it be that Li Zhiting and his Revered Master really had a very good relationship?

Regarding their relationship, it had only been Li Zhiting's one-sided account, and Lin Ming hadn't fully believed it.

But the appearance of this medallion caused Lin Ming's thoughts to change.

"I'll take it,"

Lin Ming said after thinking for a moment.

With the appearance of the medallion, Lin Ming accepted the task. He had to go back anyway, so he'd just consider it a detour.

"Xiao Yun, from today onwards, you are no longer a member of our Huaqing Pavilion,"

Madam Yi said to Xiao Yun at this time.

"What did Xiao Yun do wrong?"

Before Xiao Yun could speak, Lan Qin quickly asked.

This was her successor; how could she be removed from the rolls?

This child shouldn't have made any mistakes.

"Xiao Yun didn't do anything wrong; it's just that she isn't suited to stay in the Huaqing Pavilion. She should go to Yuanxu Mountain,"

Madam Yi said.

Regarding this, she didn't quite understand it either.

But she was just following orders.

"Yuanxu Mountain, I'll go,"

Xiao Yun said.

Yuanxu Mountain—she hadn't forgotten what her grandfather had told her.

Yuanxu Mountain was the only safe place.

That was why she immediately agreed as soon as she heard 'Yuanxu Mountain'.

"I understand."

Lan Qin was no fool.

She had perhaps realized something.

No wonder this child had been able to enter the Huaqing Pavilion so easily.

To this, she could only let out a sigh.

She would have to go and find a new successor again.

...

City Lord's Mansion

"The Huaqing Pavilion?"

True Monarch Lu Zhixing said in a deep voice.

All movements of the four clans were within his grasp.

Especially the Sea Demon Python Clan and the Phantom Nether Clan; as these two clans were currently at war, they were naturally the primary objects of his attention.

He naturally knew everything that had happened inside the Huaqing Pavilion with perfect clarity.

Now there were two questions.

One, who was the person the Sea Demon Python Clan wanted to capture?

They hadn't received even a shred of information.

Two, has that person really run into trouble?

If something really went wrong, it would be a bit troublesome.

"Senior Brother, I think you're just overthinking things."

Opposite Lu Zhixing sat a young woman, a trace of killing intent surfacing.

"If you ask me, it's simple: kill a bunch of them, and they'll settle down."

The young woman said.

In her view, the simplest way to deal with this Sea Race unrest was to kill a wave of them.

"Junior Sister, how could it be such a simple matter?"

Lu Zhixing shook his head.

Kill?

It wasn't that easy.

If it were just some weaker Sea Race members, killing them would be fine.

But the Sea Demon Python Clan was not a weak Sea Race.

"Then you just keep thinking about it, Senior Brother."

...

Phantom Nether Clan

"Those fellows—is it a lie, or is it true?"

A bald man said in a heavy voice.

Someone from their Phantom Nether Clan stole a precious treasure of the Sea Demon Python Clan?

Pure nonsense.

They didn't even know what the Sea Demon Python Clan's precious treasure was.

They certainly wouldn't accept such a baseless accusation.

Of course, even if they actually had stolen it, they wouldn't admit to it.

But the Sea Demon Python Clan was even willing to go to war with them over it.

This was a bit interesting.

The Sea Demon Python Clan must be plotting something.

And this manhunt was likely a part of their objective.

It was even possible that the person they were trying to catch didn't exist at all.

"Investigate..."

A person beside the bald man spoke up directly.

Regardless of what the Sea Demon Python Clan's goal was,

since they had already made a move against them, they certainly couldn't let their goal be achieved.

They were already on opposite sides.

This was also the order from their Old Ancestor.
