Chapter 984: Open and Aboveboard

Yu Zecheng's heart sank slightly, because this also meant that the other party would be more difficult to deal with than expected. He Lingchuan looked curious: "How did Mr. Yu know?"

Pan Si Island is a forbidden area where no strangers are allowed, and only special ships carrying goods can approach. These Beijia people came directly to find He Lingchuan, which meant they had confirmed that Zhu Erniang was in the archipelago.

The water route is not easy to walk, so it must be the air route.

"Such a big spider demon, and it has so many offspring, where can it go without attracting attention?" Yu Zecheng said meaningfully, "It can't be hidden."

He Lingchuan gave an "Ah": "Mr. Yu is joking, the spider demon came to the island openly and lived openly, what is there to hide? Look at my Suoding Island, there are so many travelers landing and staying every day, how can it be said that people are being hidden?"

Zhu Erniang is on his island, and the produce of the burrow spider still has to be sold outside. This is a fact, and it will have to be admitted sooner or later.

Want to push it, can it be pushed away? Want to drag it, can it be dragged? Hearing the four words "open and aboveboard," Yu Zecheng's gaze condensed: "In other words, the spider demon coming to the island was permitted by Island Master He?"

The threatening meaning of this sentence was already very strong.

"Just as Mr. Yu said, such a big spider demon, so many offspring, if it lived on the island privately, how could I not know?" He Lingchuan smiled, "Besides, how could Zhu Erniang have such a big face, trespassing on the forbidden area without my permission as the Island Master?"

Who was he satirizing for trespassing on the forbidden area? The several Beijia people behind Yu Zecheng all changed their expressions.

Seeing that this kid was impervious to oil and salt, and still wanted to scold people while knowing the truth, Yu Zecheng put down the teacup: "Island Master He, let me be clear. Zhu Erniang is a wanted criminal with a bounty from Beijia, and is also a major criminal ranked second on the Heavenly List! We have been chasing it all the way, and it fled to your island."

The other party was not sensible, so his fighting style had to be rougher, directly revealing the cards.

He Lingchuan was greatly surprised: "Zhu Erniang, a wanted criminal? No way?!!"

He looked shocked, his body leaned forward: "What kind of monstrous crime did it commit to be ranked on the, the Heavenly List...?"

"Arson at the Star-Plucking Tower, stealing the secret treasure of the Tiangong." Yu Zecheng was very reluctant to say the crime, after all, it was a scar of Beijia.

"Arson? Stealing?" He Lingchuan pondered, "Does Zhu Erniang have such great ability? What kind of treasure did it steal?"

Yu Zecheng said lightly: "It is not enough to be told to outsiders."

He Lingchuan looked at the few people and suddenly asked: "Mr. Yu, do you have any tokens or official badges from Beijia?"

Yu Zecheng took out a black token from his arms and spread it out in front of him.

The token emitted a faint light, and the handwriting on it was clearly visible.

After verifying his identity, He Lingchuan showed hesitation and sighed: "Alas, this is difficult to handle."

"What difficulty does Island Master He have?"

"Zhu Erniang once saved my life, this kindness must be repaid, so I let it take refuge on my island." He Lingchuan shook his head, "It just moved over, and I also promised it that it could live and work in peace here. Now Mr. Yu says it is a fugitive and wants me to drive it out, this, it is really difficult for me."

Whether there was kindness between him and Zhu Erniang, Yu Zecheng could not verify and was not interested: "Island Master He, Zhu Erniang committed a crime in Lingxu City, and it has accomplices. If you harbor it like this, be careful of being regarded as an accomplice in disrupting Lingxu City, and attracting Beijia's dissatisfaction."

He Lingchuan hurriedly put down the teacup and waved his hands repeatedly: "Oh, I can't afford it, I can't afford it, this crime is too scary, I can't bear it."

He sighed: "I think there must be some misunderstanding in the middle. How about this, have Mr. Yu and Zhu Erniang ever talked properly?"

"What does Island Master He mean?"

"How about I act as a middleman and be a peacemaker?" He Lingchuan suggested, "Both sides meet and sit down to talk properly. If it's a misunderstanding, then it's fine if it can be talked out."

His face was full of sincerity, and Yu Zecheng couldn't judge whether he was true or false for a while.

"Where to talk?"

"If Mr. Yu agrees, I will go to consult Zhu Erniang's opinion." He Lingchuan said, "Then set an appropriate meeting place, how about it?"

Yu Zecheng looked at him steadily for a long time, thoughtful.

His gaze was like a blade; others would feel hairy when stared at by him like this, but the smile on He Lingchuan's face was full of sincerity, not discounted at all.

Finally, Yu Zecheng nodded slowly: "Okay."

He Lingchuan suddenly heaved a long sigh of relief and gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Yu is sensible!"

Yu Zecheng's interest had already shifted to He Lingchuan: "Has Island Master He ever been to Beijia?"

"I have been. That is a powerful country rare in the world, how can I not go to open my eyes?"

"What about Lingxu City?"

He Lingchuan smiled: "Beijia has been visited, can Lingxu City not be visited? If you want to travel to Beijia, you can't bypass Lingxu City."

Yu Zecheng also smiled: "When did you go?"

Wang Fubao felt that the smile of this person seemed to be poisoned, full of malice.

He Lingchuan seemed unaware and answered casually: "Last year."

"Oh, such a coincidence?" Yu Zecheng's gaze condensed, "Zhu Erniang also made a big scene in the Tiangong last year."

He Lingchuan hurriedly said: "Mr. Yu, don't say that, the one who can burn down the Tiangong is definitely not an ordinary person, it must have ability and deep hatred, right? I went to Lingxu City just to broaden my horizons and increase my knowledge. There are foreign travelers like me everywhere in Lingxu City, what kind of waves can we make?"

Neither having motivation nor strength, these two points were also his protective umbrellas.

He lowered his voice again: "Haven't the Heavenly Gods found this person yet?"

Yu Zecheng looked at his gossiping expression, smiling but not smiling: "Island Master He, when you were in Lingxu City, where did you live and where did you study?"

Ordinary people would be hairy in their hearts when interrogated by him like this.

He Lingchuan counted on his fingers: "First it was the post house in the south of the city, but the post house in the south of the city exploded, so I moved to the Pan Shan Residence; who knew that the Pan Shan Residence was also burned clean by a fire later, so I went to, went to..."

What was the name of that big and gorgeous villa with a small lake for boating?

The mirror in his arms reminded: "Pianxiang Shanzhuang!"

"Oh right, Pianxiang Shanzhuang!"

Yu Zecheng felt familiar when he heard "Pianxiang Shanzhuang," and couldn't remember where it was for a while. But the explosion of the post house in the south of the city last year was related to another major event: "When the Elixir of Immortality case happened, you also lived in the post house in the south of the city?"

"Yes, I was almost blown to death!" He Lingchuan had lingering fears, "Thanks to the fact that I hadn't entered the house at that time, otherwise I would be everywhere."

Yu Zecheng's gaze flashed: "Where is Pianxiang Shanzhuang...?"

"On Qilin Mountain, I heard it used to be the old residence of the criminal Chunyu family."

Qilin Mountain, that is the core area of the lower city of Lingxu. How could a mere foreign traveler afford to live in such a place? What is the background of this kid surnamed He? Yu Zecheng felt that this background seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
