The reason why Tian Shuangyou wanted to see Cai Jian was because she found out that Cai Jian was a well-informed figure in the sect, and that he was as mean as his appearance. He especially liked to inquire about the private affairs of men and women and make profits from it. . Because of this, Tian Shuangyou asked Shi Que to arrange a meeting with Cai Jian, hoping to get more information about Qian Chao from Cai Jian, especially about the two women around Qian Chao.
However, after saying this, Tian Shuangyou was a little disappointed. After a little more than half an hour, she was unwilling to continue the conversation. She signaled Shi Que to give a small bag of spiritual stones to Cai Jian, and then told Cai Jian that if he heard anything about the money in the future, He told her about Chao and sent him away.
Looking at Cai Jian's retreating figure in the air, Shi Que asked from the side:
"Are the things he... said very useful?"
"It's useless. This guy is very cunning. He has been talking here for so long, but what he said is what I already know. Either he really doesn't know much about Qian Chao, or...he and Qian Chao are not only We know each other and have a good friendship, why would you tell us about Qian Chao? Maybe the next step after leaving us is to go to Qian Chao to talk about it."
"What!" After hearing this, Shi Que immediately looked in the direction Cai Jian was leaving. The figure in the sky was getting further and further away. "Damn it, I'll chase him back!"
"Okay!" Tian Shuangyou said with some disdain, "It's just a little spirit stone, and you see it in your eyes? The Wuling Sect is so big, except for him, I don't believe that we can't get information from other people's mouths."
"That's right. I'll go and inquire more about it later and find more people to ask."
"Um……"
Tian Shuangyou was noncommittal about Shi Que's words. She now felt that instead of always asking some little people, it would be better to find people with status and background in the sect or who can make changes. Such people not only have more accurate sources of information, but also She also has some skills and abilities in doing things. She is new to the Five Spirits Sect. If she really wants to achieve what she wants here, it is impossible to do it alone. She must have a few reliable helpers or allies.
"Then where are we going next?" Shi Que asked again.
"Come with me, is there anyone waiting for us?" Tian Shuangyou said and flew up.
There were still people waiting. Shi Que was curious after hearing this. Tian Shuangyou only asked him to find Cai Jian. If there were others, who could they be?
Who helped her find those people?
It wasn't that far away, and the two of them soon arrived, still in a hidden place in the mountains.
The two people fell from the air onto the stone path halfway up the mountain. After walking a few steps on the moss on the stone path, someone appeared from the forest beside the road.
The first person bowed his hands and saluted, and said:
"Hou Bao, what do you want Miss Tian to do with me?"
…
Lu Pingchuan has returned to Houtu Temple from Qian Chao, but Qian Chao's place is even more lively now.
When night fell, Ma Hu first came to Qian Chao's residence. That day, he helped Qian Chao bring Chu Yuan here. When he left, he diligently thought about sending Yan Shuang back to Mu Xiufeng. However, he was killed by Lu Shuang first. He was pinched on the arm, and then Luo Ying pulled his ears and drove him away from Yan Shuang, making him very depressed.
Then he remembered that Qian Chao must have talked about something important with Chu Yuan that night, and he thought about finding Qian Chao to ask.
But not long after Ma Hu sat down, Cai Jian came to the door.
"Senior Brother Cai, please sit down."
After letting Cai Jian into the room, Qian Chao asked Cai Jian to sit down and poured tea for him.
"Hey, Cai Jian, what are you doing here?"
Cai Jian was still in awe of Ma Hu. He didn't know that it was Ma Hu's recommendation that Qian Chao went to him in the first place. When Ma Hu asked, he quickly said with a smile:
"Hehe, naturally I know something and tell Junior Brother Qian."
"What did Senior Brother Cai know?" Qian Chao asked.
"That's right, Junior Brother Qian, someone came to me today and asked me about you. Guess who it is..."
Ma Hu frowned and said:
"You need to change your habit of only saying the first half of a sentence and waiting for others to buy the second half!"
"Hehe, yes, uh, the woman named Tian Shuangyou who came from the Tian family today found me and asked me about Junior Brother Qian for a long time!"
"What..." Qian Chao frowned slightly after hearing this.
"Why did that woman ask about Junior Brother Qian?" Ma Hu asked.
"Haha, I don't know about this. She was found by a guy named Shi Que. She made an appointment to meet and talk today. She didn't say what they wanted to talk about at the time. Today I went to the appointment. After the meeting, the woman She started asking Junior Brother Qian all kinds of things, uh, she also asked a lot about Miss Tang and Miss Yan."
"Oh? Then what did you say?" Ma Hu asked again.
"Haha, how could I betray Junior Brother Qian? Uh... Besides, I really don't know much about Junior Brother Qian. I just mentioned some things that everyone knows in front of that woman. Then The woman didn't seem satisfied, so she sent me away early."
"If you lie to me, I can't forgive you!" Ma Hu said.
"Hey, Senior Brother Ma, I swear, what the woman said is what the disciples in the sect have said, and nothing more."
"I believe in Senior Brother Cai. Well, Senior Brother Cai, please tell us what happened today in detail." Qian Chao said.
"good."
So Cai Jian told Qian Chao and Ma Hu exactly what he had discussed with Tian Shuangyou today.
After listening, Ma Hu looked at Qian Chao and said:
"Junior Brother Qian, is that woman named Tian always holding a grudge because she was defeated by you in public? She first found out your details and then found a way to make you suffer a big loss?"
"It's hard to say. We just need to be more careful."
As he spoke, Qian Chao took out a small bag from his body, which naturally contained spiritual stones, and then pushed it in front of Cai Jian.
Cai Jian, who has always been greedy for wealth, somehow became coquettish and said evasively:
"Hey, how did this happen? Hey, Junior Brother Qian, we won't mention it in the past, but you did me a big favor a while ago. How can I collect your spirit stones for this matter this time?"
Qian Chao was a little confused. When he came into contact with Cai Jian, he never owed him spiritual stones, nor did he show any favors to him. They didn't owe each other anything. He didn't know why Cai Jian said this, so he asked:
"Oh? Senior Brother Cai, when have I ever helped you?"
"Hey, didn't Du Sha die in the hands of Junior Brother Qian?"
During the great tide in Cold Spring Valley, Du Sha, who had become an evil cultivator, did indeed die in the hands of Qian Chao. Many disciples in the sect knew this.
"Yes, Dusha was killed by me. He and Senior Brother Cai..."
"Hehe, I am also the person Dusha wants to get rid of quickly. It's not that I bullied him with others, but, hehe, someone asked me about Dusha's things in the past. I had done some shameful things that I didn't want people to know about, but that person's lax talk exposed me, so I was hated by Dusha. Later, Dusha lost his mind and was willing to I became an evil cultivator. I was so scared at the time. I was worried that I would be harmed by Du Sha. I hid in the sect without even daring to step out. Fortunately, Junior Brother Qian got rid of Du Sha, and I was relieved. Tone.”
I see.
Ma Hu's eyes lit up after hearing this and asked:
"Hey, what kind of shameful things did Dusha do..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Chao quickly dissuaded him and said:
"Brother Ma, Dusha is already dead, and you still ask about what those people are doing."
"Oh, yes, haha, okay, Cai Jian, tell me later..."
Qian Chao shook his head, pushed the small bag of spiritual stones to Cai Jian, and said:
"Senior Brother Cai, please take this. Not because of what you said today. Next, I want you to pay more attention to me about Tian Shuangyou and other people from the Tian family. I remember that one of them is named Tian. The person who was saved is the son of Tian Jiang, the current head of the Tian family. Those people are not easy to deal with. Senior Brother Cai does not need to deliberately inquire about it, but please listen to Senior Brother Cai more. As long as there is any news about them, please ask Senior Brother Cai to tell me. .”
"Well, yes, Junior Brother Qian is right. Those in the Tian family really need to pay attention to them. Cai Jian, don't shirk it. Since Junior Brother Qian sincerely asks you to do something, just accept it."
It was a good day for Cai Jian. He had two huge incomes. Hearing what Ma Hu said, Cai Jian happily took the small bag and said:
"Even so, I'm ashamed to accept it. Don't worry, but if there is any trouble with them, I will definitely inform Junior Brother Qian. Oh, by the way, Junior Brother Qian, the Shi Que who came to me first seems to be very fond of that Tian Shuangyou. Thoughts, hehe, I deliberately glanced at Na Tian Shuangyou a few times when we met next time, and he seemed a little jealous. I think he must be interested in Na Tian Shuangyou."
Cai Jian mentioned this person named Shi Que several times, and Qian Chao remembered that after he knocked Tian Shuangyou unconscious that day, a quick figure swooped over to carefully inspect her injuries. That person must be Shi Que. .
But after all, Cai Jian's methods were limited, so Qian Chao said again:
"As I said before, there is no need to deliberately inquire. Senior Brother Cai is familiar with everyone. Just listen attentively."
"Okay, don't worry."
…
After Cai Jian left, only Qian Chao and Ma Hu were left in the room.
"Junior brother Qian, what did Chu Yuan say that day?" Ma Hu asked.
"Chu Yuan did talk about a lot of things. He stayed here until late that night and didn't leave until late at night."
Qian Chao filled Ma Hu's tea cup again and continued:
"He said everything we didn't know before, about the Cold Pool and the most about torture..."
"Oh, tell me now!" Ma Hu suddenly became energetic.
…
Under the stars, in the darkness of night.
Outside the sect, in an extremely secret cave stone hall, a circle of long column candlesticks surrounded a stone bed. The lights on the candlesticks illuminated the face of the man lying on it, but the expression of fear and despair drove him away. The darkness within the entire stone hall does not dissipate.
It's Ge Chen.
At this time, Ge Chen was lying naked on the stone bed, and he could clearly feel the coldness coming from underneath him. What made him most uneasy was that there was a lingering and disgusting blood on the stone bed. The breath made it difficult for him not to guess what had happened on this stone bed!
But he couldn't escape. If he could escape, would he be willing to be put here like meat on the chopping board?
Ge Yan now regrets that he should not have begged Senior Brother Wen to let him stay. He thought he could survive by staying here, but he didn't expect that he was sent here and was found to have the intention of running away. Hands and feet were used on him to make him unable to move, and then all his clothes were taken off, and he was placed on the chopping board like a piece of raw meat to be cooked in the kitchen, waiting for someone to use a knife.
Just when Ge Tan was thinking wildly on the stone bed, outside the candlelight, two people walked over in the darkness that he couldn't see. He only recognized one. That person had white hair and a smiling face. Looking at Ge Chen, it was none other than Senior Brother Wen.
The other person, Ge Xuan, had never been seen before. He had an ordinary appearance and sinister eyes. When he looked up and down, his eyes were so picky that he was frightened.
"That's him?" the stranger said.
"Not bad, what do you think, Brother Xing?" Wen Liang said.
"Just give it a try, this kid's cultivation is just ordinary, and he has thin skin and white flesh. At first glance, he looks like a useless playboy. He can't bear hardships, and he is naturally very delicate. He is worse than the last one."
"Haha, no, no, brother Xing, you haven't heard of what he has done. This kid's ferocity is still useful. If you can keep him with that ferocity, then you can help him. My methods, this boy will definitely be useful."
"Oh? Then I want to see how far this kid can go."
As he said this, the man surnamed Xing came close to Ge Chen's face, looked at it, and said:
"Boy, be patient, it will hurt a lot, but this is also your fate. Thank me later!"
Not long after, a high-pitched scream suddenly came from the stone hall, and I trembled...
This place must have been manipulated. Even though there were screams in the stone hall, there was no sound in the night outside the cave hall, and there was silence...
