146: Qinglong, Youji

Chapter 146: Qing Long, You Ji

Hearing Qing Long's words, the woman's delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"With Shang Zhengliang, Tianyun Daoren, and Master Uncle Zeng here, neither of us can make a move."

"Unless someone goes out alone or falls behind..."

Qing Long nodded upon hearing this. "It seems there's nothing we can do."

"After all, Master Uncle Zeng isn't a fool. He must know this and definitely won't allow Disciples to go out alone."

"And the Sect Master has given an order."

"Until the Ten Thousand Poison Sect is willing to pay a price to ask for help, our Ghost King Sect is not to interfere in the conflict between the Qingyun Sect and the Ten Thousand Poison Sect."

"Even if a Head Seat is following..."

"We need to finish quickly and hide our identities. This is almost impossible to succeed."

After all, Heyang City is only so big.

If they don't go all out, as long as a Head Seat can delay for a while, the Qingyun Sect's reinforcements will definitely arrive soon after.

You Ji nodded. "There really is no way..."

For a moment, the two looked at each other helplessly and stopped talking.

...

...

...

Meanwhile, in the private room where the Qingyun Sect Disciples were located.

Master Uncle Zeng pointed to a bowl of fish in front of him and introduced it to Su Han with a smile.

"This dish is the signature dish of Shanhai Courtyard, Stewed Meiyu Fish."

"The taste is beyond words. Want to try it?"

Su Han nodded. He was also very interested in this Stewed Meiyu Fish, which was highly praised by Zeng Shushu and Zhang Xiaofan in the original work.

He picked up a piece with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"It's sweet upon entering the mouth, without any hint of earthiness. The taste is indeed good."

"It's much better than the food on our Xiao Zhu Peak!"

Su Han praised slightly, then looked at Master Uncle Zeng with some curiosity and asked, "Master Uncle Zeng, how are you so familiar with this place?"

Master Uncle Zeng's face immediately stiffened upon hearing this, then he gave an awkward smile.

"Eat, eat. Why talk about this?"

At this moment, Shang Zhengliang, who was next to him, smiled at Su Han.

"Because in his earlier years, he would secretly sneak down the mountain when he had nothing to do. Naturally, he's very familiar with this Shanhai Courtyard."

"It's only now that he's become a Head Seat of a lineage that he's become a bit more honest."

"Old Shang, why are you revealing my shortcomings in front of the Disciples?"

Master Uncle Zeng looked at Shang Zhengliang upon hearing this, his eyes full of helplessness.

Then Master Uncle Zeng quickly waved his hand to explain to Su Han and the Disciples in the distance, "That's not true, that's not true..."

"Don't listen to your Shibo Shang talking nonsense. He's slandering my heroic image!"

And Su Han looked at the awkward Master Uncle Zeng and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

"I didn't expect Zeng Shushu's habit of secretly running down the mountain to be inherited..."

However, Su Han quickly stopped dwelling on it and picked up his chopsticks to start eating heartily.

It wasn't until everyone had finished the food that Master Uncle Zeng led them to the backyard of the Shanhai Courtyard.

After arranging rooms for the ordinary Disciples, only Master Uncle Zeng, Shang Zhengliang, Tianyun Daoren, and Su Han remained.

Master Uncle Zeng pointed to a single room not far away and said to Su Han, "Su Han, that's your room. Go and rest."

"However, when you're away from home, it's not like being in the Qingyun Sect."

"When we go down the mountain this time, there will definitely be many ill-intentioned people along the way monitoring and investigating our every move, so you need to be careful in everything."

"If there is anything unusual, notify us directly."

Tianyun Daoren also nodded.

"Although this Heyang City has always been peaceful, times have changed. Our Qingyun Sect and Ten Thousand Poison Sect are currently fighting fiercely..."

Su Han slightly cupped his hands. "Thank you for your concern, Shibo, but don't worry, I will be careful."

"However..."

Speaking of this, Su Han turned to Master Uncle Zeng and said, "Master Uncle Zeng, I still have something to do and plan to go and see the place where I used to live."

"So I'll be back later."

Upon hearing Su Han's words, Shang Zhengliang and Tianyun Daoren instinctively frowned and wanted to stop him.

After all, leaving alone now was too dangerous.

But Master Uncle Zeng thought about it and didn't stop him.

After all, he knew Su Han's cultivation. Although he had just entered the Shangqing Realm, they, as Shangqing Realm cultivators, could sense any fluctuation in Heyang City, no matter how slight.

Master Uncle Zeng didn't believe that anyone could subdue Su Han in an instant, so he wasn't too worried.

Instead, he smiled at Su Han and said, "Since that's the case, Su Han, go quickly and come back quickly."

And upon hearing that Master Uncle Zeng actually agreed, Tianyun Daoren and Shang Zhengliang quickly spoke up to stop him.

"How can this..."

But before they could finish their words, Master Uncle Zeng had already smiled and shaken his head. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Let's all go back to our rooms to rest."

Looking at Master Uncle Zeng, Shang Zhengliang and Tianyun Daoren were filled with confusion for a moment.

They didn't understand why this Disciple named Su Han would receive such preferential treatment from Master Uncle Zeng.

Along the way, Master Uncle Zeng didn't treat him as a Junior at all, but rather as an equal...

However, they couldn't say anything, after all, Master Uncle Zeng was the leader of this trip.

Therefore, the two could only nod helplessly.

"Alright then."

Soon, the three left separately.

And looking at their backs, Su Han shook his head. "What a pity..."

"I didn't see Bi Yao."

Then Su Han directly rode his sword towards the Slum in the northwest direction of Heyang City.

"I wonder if that old swindler is still there?"

"If he is, I'll leave him some silver, which can be considered repaying the kindness from back then."

And just as Su Han was leaving.

Inside the Shanhai Courtyard, on the second floor.

Qing Long and You Ji looked at Su Han's departing figure, their eyes full of surprise.

"If I'm not mistaken."

"The one who went out..."

"Isn't one of Master Uncle Zeng, Tianyun Daoren, or Shang Zhengliang, right?"

Hearing Qing Long's words, You Ji nodded.

"Master Uncle Zeng would actually send a Disciple out alone?"

"Is he too confident?"

"Or is this Disciple a bait?"

"A bait?"

Qing Long thought for a moment and sneered, "Even if it's a bait, we are confident that we can make him confess clearly before the three of them arrive."

Saying that.

Qing Long said to You Ji, "Like this."

"I'll stay here and guard. If Master Uncle Zeng and the other two make any move, I'll intercept them and delay for time."

"At the same time, I'll send you a message directly."

"And that Disciple is in your hands."

"Use your charm technique to make him confess if there were other purposes for coming down the mountain this time, and everything he knows."

Saying that, Qing Long specifically reminded.

"But be careful."

"If you can avoid harming his life, try your best not to. After all, it's not the time to form a grudge with the Qingyun Sect yet."

You Ji heard Qing Long's instructions and nodded slightly. "Don't worry, leave it to me."

After all, in their eyes, Su Han was just an ordinary Disciple of the Qingyun Sect, and You Ji was very confident.

With that said.

You Ji transformed into a black shadow and silently disappeared within the Shanhai Courtyard.

Following Su Han all the way...

Heading towards the Slum in the northwest direction of Heyang City.
