Is Yu Aofeng conducting a careful investigation or is he already suspicious?
Shen Hao didn't know, but what he was sure of was that Yu Aofeng could not directly connect him and Yu Shengjue's death. Because the God-Gathering Realm killed the late Yuan Dan Realm? This is simply whimsical.
Therefore, Shen Hao felt that even if Yu Aofeng was suspicious, he would at most have doubts about some details at that time.
Shen Hao did not hesitate or avoid it. Over the past few days, he had already rehearsed the words he made up in the Sword Emperor's Tomb dozens of times in his mind, and he knew all the flaws in every detail.
"Okay, Elder Yu, I will tell you the situation at that time..."
What Shen Hao said next was basically the same story he told in the Sword Emperor Tomb, but there were differences in the language.
Even if the same thing is told twice by the same person, it is impossible to miss every word. It is normal to miss some words or add some extra words. It would be wrong if the two accounts were told verbatim.
Even in some places, Yu Aofeng deliberately interrupted and interrupted. Shen Hao also shook his head in some places to express that he couldn't remember, but in other places he insisted without any hesitation.
"But why did Zhang Lin say that in the tomb, the two people from Qinghuagu and Chiyan Sect said that you also shared Shengjue's storage bag? Well, you took a box of medium-grade spiritual stones?"
"Elder Yu, those two people were just framed up before they died, making people laugh." Shen Hao smiled contemptuously, not taking Yu Aofeng's words to heart at all.
"Oh? But if they are talking nonsense, how will they know your identity? After all, you were wearing the official robe of Xuan Qingwei in the Sword Emperor Tomb."
"Haha, Elder Yu was joking. Although I was wearing an official robe at that time, I also had this hanging on my waist." Shen Hao said and took off the silver gourd from his waist, which was his identity certificate. This is probably how the people of the Yan Sect identify my identity."
"What's your name?"
"This... the junior did not tell those two people their names, but... yes, it is possible that the two people in the Sword Emperor Tomb heard it from Senior Brother Nie. After all, it seems It's possible to find the gourd hanging on my waist, then enter the tomb and see Senior Brother Nie and ask. How about I call Senior Brother Nie and ask if this is the case?"
Yu Aofeng shook his head slightly. His eyes had not left Shen Hao's eyes since Shen Hao entered the pavilion, and even his perception had been closely surrounding Shen Hao. No matter it is the heartbeat, body temperature, or even the stability of the Qi in the body, nothing escapes his perception.
But Yu Aofeng was disappointed. He didn't find any panic or abnormal reaction from Shen Hao. Even those differences in language seemed normal to him. Being able to remember so many details showed that Shen Hao had a good memory.
Of course, Yu Aofeng did not stop there, but smiled and said: "This is possible, and there is no need to ask Deacon Nie. By the way, Deacon Nie has a good relationship with you, and he even gave you his identity as a registered disciple. Come on, I’ll bring you to Chang Baifeng this time, otherwise you won’t get the chance of enlightenment.”
"Yes, Brother Nie and I hit it off immediately, and he takes great care of the younger generation."
"But this time you caused such a big commotion in Changbaifeng. Guishan Monastery will definitely know the identity of the shield given to you by Nie Yun. You should know that your official position of Xuanqing Guard cannot be registered in Guishan Monastery. As a disciple, right?"
Shen Hao nodded and said: "Yes, this junior knows it well. Brother Nie also said that if you go back to the mountain for this, you may be scolded by Master Pingyang."
"Hahaha, Deacon Nie is a temperamental person. He forgot the rules of the sect when he became friends with you. This is excusable. I don't think Master Pingyang will blame him too much. But you should have seen the behavior of the sect monks these days. Days, opportunities, spells and techniques, there are even foundations and resources that you have not seen. These are not in proportion to the capabilities of a mere hundred households of Xuanqing Guards.
In the past, because of your average talent and your age, the sect was not interested in you, but now it is different after your enlightenment. I won't beat around the bush. As long as you are willing to resign and join my Tianchan Sect, I can promise you a set of high-quality magical tools, and you can join my lineage to practice. how? "
Shen Hao was slightly startled? He didn't expect that Yu Aofeng would actually try to win over him with good intentions? You must know that Yu Aofeng is not Xu Lingyan, he is the great elder of a first-class sect? Shen Hao was given enough face and attention.
But why do you feel something is wrong here?
Thoughts flashed through Shen Hao's mind. Then he refused with a smile: "Thank you, Elder Yu, for your love. However, this junior has complex thoughts and likes to wallow in the secular world and enjoy the happiness of the mortal world, but he has no idea of joining the sect. Please also ask Yu. Elder, forgive me."
"Haha? Everyone has his own ambitions? How can I blame you? Well, after all that, the banquet is about to start, so I won't keep you here."
"Then the junior will resign."
"Well, go ahead."
After hearing this, Shen Hao stood up and bowed again, then exited the pavilion and returned to the banquet in front. Zhang Lin, who was waiting outside the pavilion, turned back to Aofeng.
"Great Elder? Is there a problem with that boy?"
The smile on Yu Aofeng's face disappeared. He shook his head and looked at the retreating figure outside the pavilion. He said, "He has explanations for all the doubts, and it doesn't look like he has prepared excuses in advance."
"So he's fine?"
"Not necessarily. When I mentioned the crystal stone, his heartbeat was uneven for a moment. I don't know if it was caused by panic or surprise. You need to continue to read. However, my offer to recruit was rejected on the spot."
"Huh? This...could it be that there is something really wrong with that kid?"
"It's hard to say. I originally thought of incorporating him into the sect and then slowly investigating? But I didn't expect that in the face of temptation and my personal appearance, I refused the recruitment of Tianchan Sect. Or is it because you have something in your heart like you said? Damn it, or this guy really has no intention of cultivating.
Just do what I told you before when you get back. Report to me as soon as the news from Yueying Tower comes over. Understand? "
"Yes? Disciple understands."
Yu Aofeng also got up. The banquet was about to start outside. He had to go. However, Shen Hao's calm look always lingered in his mind. There was obviously nothing suspicious, but for some reason he felt that Shen Hao was covered in "thorns" and looked irritating.
Yu Aofeng also believed in his intuition, so even though he asked about the situation in person, he still did not dispel his doubts.
On the other side, Shen Hao, who returned to the table, breathed a long sigh of relief. Judging from Yu Aofeng's reaction, his performance just now did not give the other party any leverage. Instead, he made some improvements to the story he had hastily made up before. But he didn't know whether Yu Aofeng's suspicion of him would continue.
