Martial Arts: I just want to lie flat, I make all bad friends

Chapter 148 The Ming Cult wants to steal the Holy Fire Order?Gongziyu returns home in vain
When Bai Xiuzhu made up his mind, he looked at Xiao Zhao.

I saw that she was sitting on the stool in a daze at the moment, and the two tears on her cheeks looked quite distressing.

Bai Xiuzhu spoke softly.

"Actually, Miss Xiao Zhao, you don't have to be like this."

When Xiao Zhao heard this, his eyes fell on Bai Xiuzhu, and Bai Xiuzhu continued to speak.

"Wu Hua or I, even though I'm lying to you, I haven't actually done any harm to you."

"But you know I was sent here by my mother, and you and they will go find her."

Xiao Zhao's voice was still filled with sobs, and even her lips were trembling.

It seems that she is afraid that her mother will be caught and tortured.
Bai Xiuzhu sighed: "Then what if I tell you that I won't tell them the news?"

Xiao Zhao was stunned again. She now felt that her IQ was completely insufficient.

"Why? Aren't you trying to retrieve the Holy Fire Token?"

"To explain this to you, I have to go back to the question you asked me at the beginning, 'How do I know about you and your mother?'"

Xiao Zhao's attention was suddenly attracted, and even the choke in his voice temporarily disappeared, and he asked in a curious tone.

"How did you know?"

Bai Xiuzhu smiled slightly and said: "When your mother committed the crime 16 years ago, she had an accomplice, and that accomplice, if nothing else, should be my father."

Xiao Zhao's eyes suddenly widened with an expression of disbelief.

"So you learned about us from your father?"

"Maybe, maybe not, who knows?"

Bai Xiuzhu did not answer her question directly. Even if his father really cooperated with the Purple Shirt Dragon King 16 years ago, how could he know about the other party's child?
But sometimes the answer to the question is not important. Xiao Zhao will make random guesses anyway.

Xiao Zhao thought about it in his mind for a long time.

Then he slapped her nose hard and wiped away the tears on her face.

"In other words, you and I have the same purpose?"

Bai Xiuzhu shook his head: "That's not true. I was indeed entrusted by Mr. Hua to guard the Holy Fire Order for him. After all, my father and he are also good friends."

Xiao Zhao, who felt like he had figured out everything just now, felt a little confused again when he heard this.

"Your father is good friends with Mr. Hua, and he wants to conspire with my mother to steal his Holy Fire Token. This..."

"It's hard to understand, isn't it?"

Xiao Zhao nodded slowly.

"Mr. Bai, can you tell me what happened from beginning to end?"

She felt like she needed to work through the whole thing to make sense of it all.

However, Bai Xiuzhu shook his head.

"Unfortunately, even I don't understand the ins and outs of the whole thing. If I want to know the truth, I'm afraid I have to find your mother."

"Then don't you still have to go find your mother?!"

Xiao Zhao was so anxious after hearing this that he almost cried again.

Bai Xiuzhu rubbed his temples. Sometimes a woman's tears can be very damaging to a man, especially when you really have thoughts about the woman.
He could only sigh when he saw this.

"Why are you crying again? I didn't say I wanted to figure out the whole thing!"

"what?!"

Bai Xiuzhu was afraid that Xiao Zhao would cry again, so he hurriedly explained to her.

"Since I told you that I won't tell them about your mother, it means that I don't care about it, right?"

Xiao Zhao's whole head felt like paste at this moment, and he had no idea what Bai Xiuzhu was going to do first.

"Well, you and I will deal with them first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

After Bai Xiuzhu said this, he was about to open the door, but when he did, he felt a little worried and gave her a warning.

"Forget it, you better not say anything when we go out later, I will explain."

Xiao Zhao, who was almost losing his ability to think independently by Bai Xiuzhu's previous words, could only nod his head at this moment.

"How about it?"

When she saw Bai Xiuzhu walking out of the room, Lu Xiaofeng rushed over.

"It's almost figured out."

"Come and listen!"

Lu Xiaofeng looked eager, and even Hua Manlou couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Bai Xiuzhu glanced at Xiao Zhao who was timidly following him and smiled.

"This girl was originally from the Yuan Dynasty. Someone seemed to be aware of her Persian ancestry and bribed her to steal the Holy Fire Token."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "Then what? Who wants her to come over and steal the Holy Fire Token?"

"Mingjiao!"

"Mingjiao?!"

In Hua Ruling's study.

At this time, Bai Xiuzhu, Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, Jin Jiuling and Wuhua were already gathered here.

Hearing Bai Xiuzhu's words.

Hua Ruling's eyes were a little surprised, but then they regained their composure.

"It turned out to be them"

"Master Hua doesn't seem particularly surprised?"

Jin Jiuling looked at Hua Ruling's expression and asked.

Hua Ruling nodded: "As I said before, the Ming Cult of the Yuan Dynasty came from Persia, so this Holy Fire Order can be regarded as their sacred object. If they want to find it, it makes sense. "

He smiled and explained to several people.

"Not only the Ming Cult, but also the Sun and Moon Cult were originally missionaries from Persia. Unfortunately, these teachings seemed to have undergone some changes after they arrived in the local area, so now they have almost evolved into three sects."

Jin Jiuling shook his head: "Even so, if it is the Ming Cult, how come it has been silent for more than ten years and then suddenly sends such a little girl here now?"

After Jin Jiuling finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Zhao again.

Xiao Zhao was very afraid of him and quickly shrank himself behind Bai Xiuzhu to avoid Jin Jiuling's gaze.

"You mean Mr. Bai is lying to you?"

Lu Xiaofeng stood up and confronted Jin Jiuling without saying a word. Although he also felt that Bai Xiuzhu's statement had many loopholes, since it was his side, he had to defend it first.

Jin Jiuling snorted softly when he saw Lu Xiaofeng's appearance.

"It's not impossible. After all, this female thief, Mr. Bai, protects her very well~"

Bai Xiuzhu patted Lu Xiaofeng's shoulder and motioned for him to do it by himself.

"It's not necessary for Mr. Jin to speak so eccentrically. I can tell you why the Mingjiao sent people here recently."

"why?"

Jin Jiuling stared at Bai Xiuzhu with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see some flaw in him.

"Because Mingjiao is now dead in name only!"

Jin Jiuling was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

Bai Xiuzhu smiled: "That's just the literal meaning. Since the mysterious death of the previous leader Yang Dingtian, the Ming Cult has now fallen into pieces. Five scattered people have left the religion, the four great Dharma Kings have left, and the two envoys of Guangming are the only ones left who are still teaching. Inside, the Mingjiao, which was once all-powerful in the Great Yuan Dynasty, is now only an empty shell."

"If that's the case, why would you send someone to steal the Holy Fire Token?"

Wuhua spoke up at this moment. He had been silent before and seemed to be looking for loopholes in Bai Xiuzhu's words.

"Because that Ambassador Yang is ambitious!"

Bai Xiuzhu explained: "Yang Xiao, the existing bright left envoy of the Ming Cult, can be said to be a dragon or a phoenix among people. He has always wanted to bring the Ming Cult to its peak again, but many people in the sect are dissatisfied with him. I am afraid that he also wants to use the Holy Fire Order as a sacred object. Gather everyone from the Ming Cult again!" Jin Jiuling and Wuhua looked at each other.

For a moment, they couldn't find the problem in Bai Xiuzhu's words.

In fact, not many people in the Ming Cult take the so-called sacred object of the Holy Fire Order seriously, otherwise it would not have been lost for so long and no one was looking for it.

But the key is, Jin Jiuling and the others don’t know!

They subconsciously believe that there are information barriers.

Since it is a sacred object, it should be natural for Mingjiao to care about it, right?

It seems reasonable for Yang Xiao to use this sacred object to gather Mingjiao believers.

Therefore, Bai Xiuzhu's words are quite convincing.

Hua Ruling was a little surprised at this time.

"I didn't expect you, Xiuzhu, to know so much about the Yuan Dynasty?"

Bai Xiuzhu smiled: "Actually, it's all thanks to Uncle Hua. After you told me about this that day, I asked someone to check Dayuan's situation."

Hua Ruling was silent after hearing this.

In his opinion, where did Bai Xiuzhu investigate Dayuan's situation?

It’s obviously Pang Ban’s situation!

The way that man showed off his power that night almost became a lifelong nightmare for him.
"Now that the matter has been investigated clearly, Xiuzhu, you should stop caring about Dayuan."

Hua Ruling seemed a little hesitant when she spoke.

"Uncle, don't worry, I am self-aware."

Seeing Bai Xiuzhu like this, Hua Ruling sighed and looked at Lu Xiaofeng and Jin Jiuling again.

"Now that the matter has been resolved, I'll leave it to you two to put the Holy Fire Order back to me. As for the four pieces of Mingjiao."

Hua Ruling sighed again as she spoke.

"If they want it, just give it to them. After all, it was originally given to them."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded after hearing this, took out the Holy Fire Token and gave it back to Hua Ruling.

Bai Xiuzhu originally thought that Jin Jiuling would not give up like this, but who knew that he actually took out the Holy Fire Token as if he didn't care.

Not only that, after he returned the Holy Fire Token, he cupped his fists and said to Hua Ruling.

"Master Hua, if that's the case, I'll take my leave first."

After Jin Jiuling finished speaking, he immediately left with Wuhua.

The free and easy look when he left made Bai Xiuzhu almost doubt himself. Did this guy really believe it so easily?
He has prepared a lot of excuses for this.
But what Bai Xiuzhu didn't know was.

A conversation that took place after the two went out.

After Wuhua left with Jin Jiuling, she asked him doubtfully.

"Captain Jin shouldn't believe Mr. Bai's words so easily, right? After all, this explanation is too far-fetched."

Jin Jiuling shook his head: "That's natural, but it's not important. In fact, I am happier that Mr. Hua took back the Holy Fire Token."

"Um?!"

Wuhua was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Indeed, getting the Holy Fire Token from Mr. Hua is not as difficult as getting the Holy Fire Token from Lu Xiaofeng. Now that I think about it, it saves us a lot of effort."

Jin Jiuling nodded and agreed with Wu Hua's words.

He had been having a headache before about how to get the Holy Fire Token from Lu Xiaofeng, but he didn't expect Hua Ruling to go back immediately.

Then Jin Jiuling chuckled again: "And we don't have to go get it ourselves. There is Master Murong anyway, right?"

Wuhua also laughed when he thought about Murong Fu.

That guy is so funny.

Yesterday, I even found the two of them after the banquet and asked them why they came to monitor them.

As everyone knows, they actually have no idea of ​​incorporating it into the Qinglong Club.

After all, his so-called restoration of the country is more like a slogan to them than a goal.

For such a big ambition, there is neither a detailed plan nor the appropriate strength.

The whole person is like a headless fly, walking here and scurrying there.

Wuhua couldn't help but sigh.

"Mr. Murong is really pitiful. Not only does he have to get the Holy Fire Token for us, but he also has to trouble him to go to Dayuan for us to check on the situation. The young monk is extremely curious about the so-called Holy Fire Token martial arts."

Jin Jiuling shook his head again.

"I'm also a little curious about the Holy Fire Order's martial arts, but I'm afraid we'll have to go there on our own for this Great Yuan."

Seeing that Wuhua was puzzled, Jin Jiuling said: "Da Longshou asked us to test the strength of a guy from Dayuan to see if he is qualified to join us."

Only then did Wuhua understand why they had to go to the Yuan Dynasty by themselves.

"Oh? Who made his heart beat again?"

Jin Jiuling laughed: "I heard it was called 'Baishi Taoist', but I don't know how powerful it is. I'll find out when I try it. By the way, I want to know about the so-called Mingjiao."

Wu Hua nodded: "Speaking of which, our big dragon head seems to have gone to Feixian Island, right?"

When Jin Jiuling heard the words "Flying Immortal Island", his face showed a trace of solemnity.

"That's right! I don't know if he can impress the 'Lord of Baiyun City'!"

Daming, South China Sea, Feixian Island.

Above the vast ocean, an isolated island stands.

Under the clear sky, white clouds surround the island, covering the highest peak on the island, making it look like a fairyland.

And this time.

A small boat suddenly sailed out of Feixian Island at an extremely fast speed, as if it was avoiding something.

Wearing a bronze mask on the boat, the white-haired Gong Ziyu spat out a mouthful of blood and looked back bitterly at the island that seemed to not exist in the human world.

"Ye Gucheng really has you"

In Feixian Island.

A man wearing a white robe and a jade crown was gently wiping his sword.

It was an extremely gorgeous sword.

The huge gem inlaid on the hilt is enough to blind the eyes of countless people and make people covet it, but if they see the blade like autumn frost, no matter how much greed they have, they will turn into nothingness.

"The green dragon has disappeared for so long, and the big dragon head is just a boy? It's boring."

Ye Gucheng sheathed his sword and stood up.

"Come on."

"City Lord."

A maid in white came in, knelt down in front of Ye Gucheng, and did not dare to say anything.

"Send this letter over."

Ye Gucheng took out something more like a note than a letter from his arms.

"Where to send it"

The maid in white looked a little cautious, fearing that she would offend the man in front of her if she asked.

Ye Gucheng slowly walked to the woman.

As soon as his hand loosened, the note slowly fell to the ground, and his voice appeared at the same time.

"Wanmei Villa!"
