"Uncle Master, after returning to Mount Tai this time, we really won't come out again?"
After dinner, Lei Zhen was in the room and asked about Ling Xuzi.
"Hey, why are you still out here? Now that my senior brother is dead, our hearts should have calmed down."
Ling Xuzi sighed.
"Uncle Master, forgive my nephew for speaking frankly. After returning to the mountain, who should take the position of leader?"
Lei Zhen stared at Ling Xuzi, waiting for his answer.
"Haha, our Taishan sect has deep roots and there are always people with both ability and political integrity who can take on such a big responsibility!"
Ling Xuzi smiled.
This matter has actually been bothering him for several days. According to what the senior brother said at that time, he seemed to have the intention of letting him take charge of the master's sect. However, hearing Lei Zhen's tone, I'm afraid he was not convinced.
"Huh, Uncle Master, now that Master has passed away, who else among Taishan's disciples can be more noble than you? Could it be that they dig out our Master?"
Lei Zhen snorted coldly, with some anger in his words.
"Haha, nephew, uncle, I have always been lazy and of low ability. I don't dare to covet the position of head!"
After all, Ling Xuzi is the person in charge of the Taishan Reclining Buddha Tower, and he is better at observing words and expressions than ordinary people. Seeing Lei Zhen's unkind tone, he thought that he was injured, so how could he dare to confront him head-on?
"hey-hey!"
Yun Kai on the side suddenly smiled at this time.
Obviously, he didn't believe Ling Xuzi's words.
"Haha, what kind of care are we taking! Nephew, please rest first. We have to rush tomorrow!"
Seeing Yun Kai like this, Ling Xuzi reacted quickly and laughed twice, trying to ease the tension in the room.
"Haha, okay, rest first, rest first."
Lei Zhen said nothing more and turned around to sit on his couch.
For safety reasons, the three of them lived in the same house along the way so that they could take care of each other. However, after the conversation just now, everyone inevitably had their own hidden agendas and became wary.
…
The night gradually became deeper.
In the darkness, a figure flashed into the inn extremely quickly.
Meow--
A cat meow was heard immediately.
Inside the inn, it was still quiet, as if a cat meowing could not disturb anyone.
The door opened gently.
"who?"
The first person to notice someone entering the room was Lei Zhen.
So, without thinking, he jumped up and struck with a palm.
The room was very cramped, but the man's movement skills were truly extraordinary. Even in the darkness, he could still identify his position by listening to the wind, and cleverly avoided the lightning strike.
"Who are you?!"
Lei Zhen shouted angrily.
Just now he took out his palm and didn't even touch the person's hair. This shows that this person's kung fu is really very high.
His drink naturally woke up Yun Kai and Ling Xuzi. The two of them quickly sat up and crossed their palms. However, neither of them had recovered from their injuries, so it was probably just a show-off.
Hey!
At this time, a fire broke out in the dark. In the light of the fire, a familiar person closed the door with his backhand and showed a smile.
"Leader Liu!"
The three of them couldn't help but scream in unison.
"Shh-"
Liu Shaonan raised his index finger and put it to his mouth, signaling the three of them not to panic.
"Why did Leader Liu come to Jiangnan?"
Lei Zhen was especially surprised. Didn't Liu Shaonan go to Xiangyang to assassinate King Ping?
"There's no need to talk about this. I just want to ask, do the three of you still have the face to meet Prince Jing after being defeated in Jiangnan?"
Liu Shaonan's face turned cold and he asked sharply.
"this……"
Ling Xuzi hesitated first.
Lei Zhen and Yun Kai looked at each other in confusion. They both knew that Liu Shaonan was a popular figure around Prince Jing. Now that their master was gone, they felt somewhat weak.
"Ling Xuzi, do you still want to return to your chivalrous ways?"
Liu Shaonan stared at Ling Xuzi with a chill in his eyes.
This glare made Ling Xuzi feel hairy all over.
