Cranes and Blazing Sun - C77
Lei Zhaoting was about to turn around and call for Zhang Qingyun. Just as he turned around, he saw Zhang Qingyun and the other two had already arrived behind him. Someone suddenly flew out from the back of Zhang Qingyun’s hall. Seeing his strange movement technique, this man’s attacks were both fast and stable. This man’s martial arts was strong, and Tingting was not his opponent. She was afraid that he would hurt Tingting, so she had long since arrived behind him.
Protector Lin saw that Zhang Qingyun was moving like the clouds, and in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of him. He couldn’t help but admire him in his heart as he cupped his hands and smiled, “Sect Leader Zhang is polite,” Zhang Qingyun also smiled and said, “Sir, you do not need to be so polite, may I ask what your name is?”
Protector Lin said, “I am a nameless nobody from the Cold Ice Sect, and my name is Lin Baichu. I am here on Elder Hua’s orders to welcome you, Sect Leader Zhang.” Zhang Qingyun said, “I have long heard of the head of the Six Protectors of the Ice Cult, Lin Baichu. It is truly my greatest fortune to meet you today.” Lin Baichu was overjoyed, he did not expect his reputation to be so resounding. A kid who had just started his career had even heard of his name. “I am also honored to know you, Sect Leader Zhang. You are able to bring glory to my shop and bring honor to my humble dwelling. I am also deeply honored. We have long welcomed you on your bed. Sect Leader Zhang, please follow me. ”
Zhang Qingyun smiled. This person was extremely tactful with his words. He was a tough opponent to deal with. He was tall and muscular, and his skills in the outer sect had reached a certain level. Despite knowing that we didn’t come with good intentions, he still said that he was very skilled at showing off. Smiling, he said, “Protector Lin, this humble one is overwhelmed by your courtesy. Please lead the way.”
Miao Rufei covered her mouth and chuckled, “The two of them were rivals in life, yet they were like good friends meeting. Although she said it beautifully, her heart was filled with killing intent. To think that they could even say such words out loud. How hilarious.” Mu Zi Jun replied, “The Cold Ice Sect welcomes you with respect. How could my Cang Sect not show our respect? The Sect Leader is young, but he is very old. His heart is always with the Cang sect, and he admires it.”
Although Lin Baichu had heard their conversation, he pretended not to have heard it. In his heart, he admired Zhang Qingyun even more for hiding his strength even though he was in danger. He was treated with even more respect. He stood to the side with his arms stretched out in front of him, appearing very respectful and humble. “Sect Leader Zhang, after you.”
Zhang Qingyun didn’t pay any attention to his words. He smiled at Lin Baichu and said, “Protector Lin, after you.” He was the sect head of a faction, and he was only a protector of the Cold Ice Sect. He was on equal footing with their sect master, and in terms of status, he was inferior by half. Lin Baichu followed behind, guiding the way. As the five of them reached the second floor, Lin Baichu took out a key and opened up a room. “Sect Leader Zhang, please come here first and try to sleep for a night.” Sect Leader Zhang, please try to stay a night.
Zhang Qingyun stepped into the room. The room was meticulously decorated and it was very comfortable and fragrant. Even the most picky person could not find anything wrong with it. There was a soft bed and a flowery window, as well as a red table and wooden chairs. There was a smile on his face as he said, “Not bad, I’ll just have to stay for the night.”
Lin Baichu laughed, “Ladies, please follow me here. We have specially prepared a large room for you. ” Lin Baichu took out the key and opened the door. The room was roughly the same as the one he had just entered, except that it was a bit large, with three soft beds in it. It seemed like it really was prepared for his group.
“The three ladies in this room are quite satisfied.” The three faces all revealed looks of surprise. This was simply like a chamber in their dreams, they were extremely satisfied. Zhang Qingyun coughed loudly, and the sound was so loud that it shook the three of them. The three of them immediately regained their composure. Mu Zijun said, “This room can be considered to be pretty good. Compared to my Cang Sect’s room, it’s still lacking a bit. It’ll barely last one night, so it’s still okay.” Lin Baichu’s expression changed. You actually dare to say that my Cold Ice Sect is inferior to yours. Tomorrow, when the High Priestess comes in person, you’ll have the best of it. At the moment, he did not reveal any emotion and said, “If this room catches my eye, then let me hold off for the night. I still have some matters to attend to and will not accompany you any longer. I will take my leave first.” Call me if you need anything. ”
Zhang Qingyun said, “Temporary cleaning is considered not bad. If Protector Lin has any matters to attend to, please go and do it.” Lei Yuting said in surprise, “Tell us what you want, Quan. With his temper, who can touch him? It would be good if he doesn’t,” Lin Baichu said, “Miss, it was just a misunderstanding just now. I apologize for Quan Quan’s recklessness.”
Lei Qiuting said, “No need, I’m not that petty.” Lin Baichu said, “I promise to help Miss with her lesson. Ah, I promise to be completely obedient. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first.” He turned around and walked downstairs.
The four of them entered a room together, looking at the exquisite decorations in the room, it was not something that could be put on for a short period of time. Miao Rufei said, “Which show are they playing?” Could it be that they already knew that we would be resting here? ” Lei Qiuting said, “Yes, there are three beds. It looks like they were specially prepared for us.”
Zhang Qingyun said, “This is a little strange.” We have been schemed against by Hua Ruyan along the way. Could it be that she has really long planned for us to rest in her shop? They had already arranged the room. In order to guard against her tricks, they had to check the room thoroughly. See if there are traps in the room. ” The four of them immediately checked the interior and exterior of the room. He did not notice that there was a mechanism laid out in the room.
Miao Rufei said, “There’s nothing, I don’t understand.” Zhang Qingyun smiled, “Hua Ruyan is meticulous.” It’s hard for us to read her mind. ” “Sect Leader, then what should we do?” Zhang Qingyun still smiled and said, “I usually don’t think about things that I can’t figure out. Perhaps she didn’t have any bad intentions, and she felt that it wasn’t possible to lock us up in the cellar and help us prepare these two rooms.”
Lei Zhaoting touched Zhang Qingyun’s forehead, and Zhang Qingyun said, “Tingting, what are you doing?” Lei Qiuting said, “I thought you were very sick. Touching your forehead, you don’t have a fever. Why are you spouting nonsense?” Does Hua Ruyan have such a heart? ”
Zhang Qingyun grimaced, “You’re the one with the fever. It’s more comfortable thinking about it like this. I can’t guess what she’s thinking, so tell me what to do. I might as well accept it and go to sleep. I’ll understand the mystery by tomorrow morning, “Lei Qiuting continued,” I’m afraid that by the time we know, it’ll be too late and we’ll already be in someone else’s trap.
After Zhang Qingyun finished speaking, he walked out of his room and went back to his room to rest. He saw Hua Ruyan coming up the stairs with all her support. Hua Ruyan covered her stomach with her hands. There was no need to talk about the painful expression on his face. It was simply too miserable. Lei Qiuting followed him into the room. Seeing Hua Ruyan, she burst out laughing and covered her mouth in a hurry. Hua Ruyan looked weak and weak, as if she was exhausted. He could not help but want to laugh. He thought to himself, “She really went to eat laxatives and almost collapsed. She is really stupid, she was the Poison King for nothing.” He whispered into Zhang Qingyun’s ear, “Brother Yun, look at how good you are at being a human. Not only do you not want me to eat mouse poop, you even want me to eat laxatives myself. You can even think of such a ruthless method. ”
Zhang Qingyun said, “She will hear about your snacks.” Lei Zhaoting kept laughing nonstop, and Zhang Qingyun hurriedly added, “Tingting, be more serious. Even Elder Hua is in this state, yet you are still laughing. You are truly inhumane.” “No sympathy at all.” When he said this, Lei Qiuting was even more amused. “I have no humanity, so I won’t let anyone eat mouse poop. You have humanity and compassion, so tell them to take the laxatives themselves.” Zhang Qingyun also could not help but want to laugh. He tried his best to not laugh out loud. When she saw Hua Ruyan laughing at her, her expression became extremely ugly. Thinking that she had prepared such a good room, she walked over and asked, “Elder Hua, how’s the poison preparation? It’s much better.”
Are you here to make fun of me?” Hua Ruyan asked angrily. Zhang Qingyun hurriedly said, “Of course not, I am truly concerned about that. I am here to thank the Elder for specially preparing these two rooms for us. ” Hua Ruyan gave a cold humph and said, “Thank you for your concern, Sect Leader Zhang. Without your wish, I will not die.” Ah Quan supported her and limped up the corridor. He headed deeper into the corridor.
Zhang Qingyun said, “Please take care, Elder Hua. Take care of yourself.” Hua Ruyan suddenly turned around and said, “Flower, you will never know about poison. I don’t dare to say that I have a deep understanding of it, but I do know a little bit about it. I’ve never heard of such a special antidote. “Sect Leader Zhang, can you tell us what poison it is?”
“Big Brother Yun, your poison is really mysterious. It doesn’t even know the famous Poison King.” Hua Ruyan knew that she was laughing at the fact that she wasn’t worthy of the Poison King’s name, so she turned around and left angrily. Lei Zhaoting added, “Why are you so angry? I’m afraid your heart won’t be able to take the poison even if you know what kind of poison it is.” Hua Ruyan turned around and said, “I’ve spent so much time on this. What have I not seen before?” How could a mere poison name be scary? Tell me about it. ” Lei Qiuting laughed, “I’m not going to fall for your trick. I’m only telling you that this poison is very special, but it’s also very common. You guys have a place here where you can grab a bunch of it.”
Hua Ruyan said, “Grabbing handfuls and handfuls of poison, what kind of strange poison would it be? Why would they need such a strange antidote?” Zhang Qingyun said, “There are some ordinary parts to this poison.” But some places are more expensive than gold. If you have money, you can’t buy it even if you wanted to. ” He was afraid that Lei Zhaoting would slip up, but he was also afraid that Hua Ruyan would become suspicious and make the poison sound as expensive as gold.
Hua Ruyan was confused by their words, not knowing which one of them was the real one. Both of them said that it was unrealistic. One said that it was very rare and expensive, while the other said that it was very rare and expensive. How could the money not be able to buy the world’s poison? Therefore, neither of them spoke the truth. Hua Ruyan said, “How can there be such a strange poison in this world? Isn’t this just fooling little kids? It’s fine if you guys don’t want to say it, but I didn’t think of the Cang Wu Art, but since poison is a unique skill in martial arts, I admire it. Ah Quan, let’s go. ” She turned down the corridor.
Actually, Zhang Qingyun wasn’t lying to her. In the Hundred Family, wasn’t he just tricking her? However, in the rooms of those rich young mistresses, how could there possibly be such a thing? It was not something that could be bought with a thousand gold coins.
They chatted as they walked along the corridor. Miao Rufei had long since walked out and watched Hua Ruyan turn the corner, saying, “This Hua Ruyan ate herself like this while taking laxatives.” and you actually believe that you’ve been poisoned. ” Zhang Qingyun said, “This can only be because she has poisoned many people and caused her death by poisoning. Because she has seen too many tragedies, she unconsciously developed a fear of being poisoned and thus believed that she was poisoned. If she found out the truth, she might not even know how angry she would become. ” “That’s why we can’t let her know the truth. The people from the Dian Cang sect are still in her hands. Don’t look at how exhausted she is and be angry. We don’t know what unexpected things she will do.”
Zhang Qingyun said, “If we don’t tell her, she will not know. Go and rest. No one knows what danger is waiting for us tomorrow. ” Ye Zichen walked back to his room.
The next day. Not long after dawn, all four of them knocked on the door to invite them to the back room. Fortunately, the four of them got up early, and last night, they didn’t sleep too much, to prevent them from plotting in the middle of the night. They didn’t have to delay for long before all four of them left the room. They arrived at the back of the hall, which was very large. It looked like it was the place the Sparrow Temple normally used. There were two large chairs at the front and a coffee table between the two chairs. There was a small porcelain bottle on the tea table. Hua Ruyan was sitting on a chair to her left. Her face was glowing. Yesterday’s sickness had been swept away. The two sides of the hall were lined with wooden chairs. The wooden chairs were actually filled with people. Jun Mo Xie was the first to arrive in the main hall as he exclaimed: “So it’s all you guys!” He walked to the first seat on the left and sat down. There was a middle-aged man in his thirties sitting on the chair. He looked delicate and handsome, but there was a sickly look on his face and his eyes were lifeless. He didn’t have the strength nor the strength to sit.
Mu Zidao said, “Senior brother Lin, what do you think? Hua Ruyan didn’t do anything to you, right?” Senior brother Lin and Mu Zi Jun’s masters were all Huang Rong Hua. Senior Apprentice Brother Lin had always treated Mu Zi Jun as his little sister. The two of them had a very deep relationship. Thus, Mu Zi Jun came over to his side.
Senior Martial Brother Lin seemed to have lost all of his strength as he gasped for breath and said, “Not bad.” Son, it’s fine, they’re still human. Three meals a day. Is the Sect Leader here yet? ” Mu Zijun said, “I am relieved. Look, I’ve invited the Sect Leader over.” He pointed to the door.
Everyone’s face lit up when they heard the Sect Leader had arrived. They all looked towards the door. Zhang Qingyun walked in with square steps. It was very much like the grandeur of a sect leader. When everyone saw Zhang Qingyun enter, they all wanted to leave their seats and pay their respects, but there was nothing they could do. He could not get up no matter how hard he tried. He could only move around in his seat.
Seeing that, Zhang Qing knew that they had all been poisoned and could not stand up. “Everyone, sit down. There’s no need to get up.” Hua Ruyan stood up and smiled, “Sect Leader Zhang, you had a good rest last night.” When Zhang Qingyun saw her first sentence asking him if he had rested well, he quickly understood why she would prepare such a good room. So she was purposely making things difficult for him. He knew that we would be suspicious as to why she had prepared two rooms like that which made us want to sleep but not dare to. This woman’s heart was heavy as she said in a suspicious tone: “Thank you elder for your concern. We had a good rest last night.”
