Chapter 258 Lots of doubts Zhou Ling was puzzled. How many plays had she seen since she entered the jurisdiction of Xihai Sect? To be honest, she felt that something was fishy since her master had been going around in circles and was reluctant to come. As a result, after arriving at the destination, the strangeness did not decrease, but instead gradually magnified with every event they experienced. Being able to replicate a lifelike identity card and successfully sneak in might really be due to the master’s skills being as good as they were in the past. However, the murder scene, which was full of traces of performance, was too weird. The seeds of doubt began to sprout from that moment. until now. The Treasure Pavilion was in need of a little water delivery boy like her. The master and that senior were able to sneak in openly as guests. She was able to quickly and successfully get to the compartment that her master had designated to inquire about in such a short time. The timing was just right for all of this. Wasn't it too smooth? All these examples made Zhou Ling doubt the two people in front of him.
But now, she was in a situation where she had no chance of winning. She couldn't act rashly and could only go with the flow. "If we can meet with your master alone, do you think your role as the water boy will still exist?" The handsome middle-aged man asked back so confidently that Zhou Ling almost laughed out of anger. After losing the invisible control, Zhou Ling stood in place, his body straight, head slightly raised, he couldn't lose the pride of being Long Aotian's disciple. "What does it matter whether this effect exists or not? It doesn't matter if it doesn't exist. I don't have to run errands anymore!" The child was filled with grievances and just shouted them out. Everyone present understood what she was saying. Looking at her attire and the complicated and tedious staircase outside the window, although she had never run there herself, she must not have been able to use her spiritual power, and it must have been tiring for her to run back and forth for so long with her own body. "Cough cough..." The handsome middle-aged uncle coughed unnaturally and cleared his throat. Maybe he realized that his attitude just now was wrong, so he corrected himself in time. "It's like this. You've been running up and down for so long. You must have worked hard. Here's one for you. It's a top-grade spiritual tonic pill. It has zero poison and is very effective. It can help you get rid of your fatigue and be yourself again." As the handsome middle-aged man spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, dragged it with his spiritual power, and handed it to Zhou Ling. Zhou Ling raised her eyebrows. Actually... she didn't really want to answer it. First of all, as the only descendant of Zhijian Peak, when has she ever been short of this kind of top-grade elixir? Secondly, the uncle's speech was a bit strange. Why did it sound so familiar? It felt like a line from an advertisement. "The king of heaven overshadows the tigers of the earth?" "what?" "Oh, it's okay. I just said it casually. Thank you for the pill. I will accept it." Although there was no shortage of stairs, the signal was not right, so she had to take the stairs that could allow her to come down the fastest. He took the pill with both hands and bowed respectfully to express his gratitude. "I don't know what you want me to say. I don't want to stay here too long. Please tell me in time so that I can bring the message back as soon as possible." It was just a tip-off, so she took the job! She wanted to see whether the doubts she had deduced and found would be confirmed or overturned in the end.
"There is no such guarantee when delivering a message. You take it. Don't put it in the storage tool box, just put it under the tray and give it to him. If he writes back, you can bring the letter over. If he doesn't write back, it may mean he refuses. In that case, you don't need to come over. Just stand by the window of your compartment and gently shake your head three times. We will see what you mean and leave." "No problem, it's just a small matter, we can definitely handle it, please rest assured, seniors." "Oh, there is one more thing. If your master agrees, when you bring his letter back, can you let us see your true face in the private room?" Zhou Ling never expected that he would stop her at the end just to ask this question. "Isn't it necessary?" Zhou Ling was originally trying to maintain a polite smile, but later on, he couldn't keep it up any longer and turned into a fake smiler, his smile made his teeth hurt. "Why not? You are Zhou Ling. Wandao Sect and the West Sea are thousands of miles apart, thousands of miles away from each other. It's rare for us to see you. If what we see this time is not your true appearance, then wouldn't we, wouldn't we..." This time, it was not the middle-aged man who was speaking, but the young boy. "Isn't it nothing?" Zhou Ling tilted her head in confusion, watching the other person's cheeks gradually turn pink. It's so strange, why is he so shy every day? "What he meant was that he would be a little disappointed if he couldn't see your true face. After all, you may not know that your sudden enlightenment to the Way of Heaven is also widely known in Xihai Sect. Moreover, due to the distance, no one in our sect could have the opportunity to have your sudden enlightenment that time, which is a pity. But this does not prevent us from speculating that you have such a great opportunity to suddenly realize the Way of Heaven. Maybe, your future achievements will be unmatched. In layman's terms, you may be the one who can successfully ascend to the upper realm." The handsome middle-aged uncle obviously couldn't stand his own little nephew, who was so thin-skinned at such a young age. Seeing that the little fellow's face was getting redder and redder, his mouth slightly opened, and he was stammering and could hardly utter complete words, he quickly spoke up to complete his meaning. "I see. In that case, it's fine. If Master writes back, I will go and show you my disguised appearance." Zhou Ling had an expression of understanding on her face, but in her heart, the fake-smiling boy had reappeared. Okay, you want to know her true appearance, right? But forget about Master's reply! Safety comes first. Nothing is more important than safety. Even though the two people in front of him behaved too naturally, Zhou Ling could not trust them completely. After all, strange things have happened one after another recently. If she hadn't been prepared, she would have been swallowed up by this cruel era without leaving any bones behind. In any case, after Zhou Ling agreed, she finally got out of the door smoothly. She didn't dare to panic or get confused. Although her heart was half relieved when she stepped out of the door, she didn't go far and could still be caught back at any time. It was an agonizing journey, during which she even tried to control her heartbeat so that it did not fluctuate too quickly. It was not until I walked further and further, entered the crowd, stepped onto the complicated and tedious stairs, and found myself in a lively environment that my heart finally settled down. At least in this environment, it is impossible to be caught again. If you want to go to the master's compartment, you can't go there directly. If you want to go smoothly, you can only pass by the door of the master's compartment first, take down the sign that he puts at the door asking for tea, and then you can come over to give him tea. The process is cumbersome, but safe and secure. (End of this chapter)
