That night.
There was a cool breeze, and the whole small town was completely silent. There was not even a sound of a night watch, just like a silent dead city.
Since there have been many uninvited guests in the city in recent days who behave strangely and are obviously not easy to mess with, the people in the city rarely dare to go out after dark.
"Dong dong dong"
In the north of the city, inside a certain inn.
The candlestick in the corner was emitting a faint firelight. There was a gentle knock on the door. A man in black opened the door and walked in. He walked quickly behind the silent man standing by the window and knelt down on one knee.
"Sir, I apologize for my incompetence, but I still haven't found Wei Changtian's whereabouts."
"."
"knew."
Without turning around, Chu Xianping still looked at the bright moon in the sky and replied calmly.
"Son."
Behind him, the man in black hesitated and continued softly: "Although it has not been found out, in my humble opinion, Wei Changtian must have heard the news and came to Fangcun Mountain."
"He might even be in the city right now."
"Sir, there are still two days until February 2nd. Do you want to send someone to check carefully?"
"check?"
Chu Xian replied calmly: "If he wants to hide it, can you find it?"
"Subordinate."
The man in black paused, his expression instantly became embarrassed, and he did not dare to say anything more.
"Okay, since we haven't found anything, let's leave it at that."
Finally turning around, Chu Xianping's eyes looked a little eerie and unfamiliar in the candlelight.
"Even if he does come, he will be alone. At most, there will be a new empress, who will not pose a threat to me."
"Our only opponent now is Qin Zhengqiu."
"Remember to send more people to keep an eye on their movements and report any abnormalities at any time."
"My subordinate understands!"
"Well, you go out."
"yes!"
"."
The man in black stood up, lowered his head and slowly exited the room. Soon, Chu Xianping was the only one left in the room.
He slowly walked to the table and sat down, his expression unclear in the flickering firelight.
"Sir, actually I still hope you don't come."
"But if you're already here."
"I think you must be planning to wait to see Qin Zhengqiu and I break up."
"In that case, I will do as you wish."
"Sir, this may be the last thing I can do for you."
"."
On the other side, south of the city.
"Master Qin, since Wei Changtian has not shown up for a month, he must have come to Fangcun Mountain!"
"That Li Zimu had appeared in Lingmen Temple before. It must have been the bald donkey from Lingmen Temple who leaked the news!"
"That's right! The new empress Feng has also disappeared for half a month! I guess she came with Wei Changtian!"
"Master Qin, there are already Chu Xianping and others watching eagerly from the side. If Wei Changtian is added to the list, the variables will be too great!"
"It's better for us to strike first! Since Wei Changtian can't be found for the time being, let's kill Chu Xianping first! In this way, Wei Changtian won't be able to make any big waves!"
"Master Qin, don't forget to promise me to wait!"
"Yes! This opportunity is of great importance. Now that we are here, we must not let this opportunity fall into the hands of others!"
"Master Qin! Decide earlier!"
"."
The lights were brightly lit in the spacious room, and more than a dozen old men of different heights, fatness and thickness were noisy. Only Qin Zhengqiu, who was sitting at the head, had his eyes closed tightly and remained silent.
At first glance, the scene looked a bit chaotic, as if the dozen or so people talking were all grumpy old men.
But in fact, everyone sitting here at this moment is the sect leader or leader of a large sect, and the lowest level is in the middle stage of the second rank.
To be honest, even if we ignore the forces behind them, these dozen people alone are enough to wipe out and destroy most dynasties in the world.
It is precisely because of this that this group of people are not very respectful to Qin Zhengqiu, the "number one person in the world" at this moment.
After all, even Qin Zhengqiu cannot deal with so many second-level masters by himself.
What's more, the former still needs help from them.
"Everyone."
Slowly opening his eyes, his cloudy gaze finally caused the shouting in the room to gradually stop.
Everyone stared at Qin Zhengqiu closely, and their heartbeats became a little faster for some reason.
Although they didn't believe that the former would take action, everyone was still a little weaker in terms of momentum.
Qin Zhengqiu glanced around slowly and then said:
"What you all said is not unreasonable, but I also have my own plans."
"Although Chu Xianping has won over some people from Kuilong, it is still nothing to worry about for me."
"It is still unclear whether the Heavenly Secret to Immortality is true or not. If we fall out with them now, we may end up trying to draw water from a bamboo basket."
"So I think it's not too late to wait until February 2 to discuss everything."
"If the secret comes true and Chu Xianping really wants to compete with me for a chance, I will kill him."
"And Wei Changtian"
At this point, Qin Zhengqiu paused, and everyone's expressions became meaningful.
The relationship between the former and Wei Changtian is unknown to everyone in the world.
Although the two of them had already been at odds with each other, they almost had a fight in Daqian Capital.
But everyone here will inevitably worry that Qin Zhengqiu will be reluctant to kill his grandson, which will lead to some accidents.
After all, there is such a thing as blood and family ties
"Everyone, if Wei Changtian appears in Fangcun Mountain the day after tomorrow."
Closing his eyes, Qin Zhengqiu's tone was calm and indifferent.
His expression didn't change at all, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, he gave the answer calmly.
"I will kill him."
"Wei Changtian"
There were no lights in the guest room, and the moonlight filtered in and faintly fell on the side of Wei Changtian's face.
Xu Suisui was lying on the only bed, while Wei Changtian was sitting at the table.
Although no one in the city was searching for their traces at the moment, Wei Changtian certainly did not dare to take it lightly, so he decided not to sleep for the past two days, so as not to have no time to react if there was an emergency.
As a second-grade martial artist, going without sleep for several days is not a problem at all, so he is still in good spirits at the moment.
On the contrary, Xu Suisui tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
"What's wrong?"
Turning his head and glancing at Xu Suisui, who was staring at him, Wei Changtian frowned and said, "Hurry up and sleep."
"I can't sleep."
Xu Suisui put his hands together to cover the side of his face, and there seemed to be some yearning in his eyes: "Wei Changtian, do you think we can go back this time?"
"How would I know."
Wei Changtian curled his lips: "It's hard to say whether he will survive or not."
"Then do you think we can go back if we die?"
Xu Suisui seemed to suddenly think of something, and said with a smile: "After all, we traveled here because we died in our previous life."
"Maybe."
Wei Changtian was obviously too lazy to think about such meaningless questions and said casually: "You will know after you die."
"Is it."
For some reason, Xu Suisui's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of disappointment.
"Wei Changtian, are you afraid of death?"
"Okay."
Wei Changtian continued to be perfunctory: "Anyway, I have already died once."
"Well, I'm not afraid either."
Xu Suisui shrank his head: "But I'm afraid of pain."
"pain?"
Wei Changtian glanced at her and remembered the scene that happened two years ago when Xu Suisui found him.
"Is chemotherapy painful?"
".not bad."
Xu Suisui was obviously stunned for a moment, but quickly answered with a smile: "It doesn't hurt very much."
"oh."
Wei Changtian nodded: "Then you haven't thought about what to do if your illness still won't be cured even if you go back?"
"."
Xu Suisui's body stiffened suddenly, and then relaxed little by little.
She gently held the corners of the quilt and answered in a low voice that almost only she could hear:
"That's okay."
"I'm not afraid of death."
