Chapter 213

Several people quickly entered the sect gate and separated.

Kong Yu listened with a smile on his face; if Shi Yong and others took him on a few more missions, he would be able to obtain enough contribution points to exchange for Gang Qi martial arts.

"I wonder if Senior Brother Ji Jincheng has refined Qi into Gang Qi."

Thinking of Ji Jincheng's happy appearance when he knew his harvest this time, Kong Yu couldn't help but quicken his pace and walk toward the courtyard where he lived.

Just as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Li Xu with a sorrowful appearance. Kong Yu's heart sank, and all joy disappeared instantly.

"Senior Brother Li, what happened?" Kong Yu said in a deep voice.

Looking around, he found that he didn't see Ji Jincheng.

Li Xu said sorrowfully: "Junior Brother Ji Jincheng and Han Xing have met with trouble, and their life or death is unknown."

In a place like the Profound Heaven Sect, so-called life or death unknown means that the person is already dead, but even the body cannot be found.

Kong Yu only felt that the world went black before his eyes, his body swayed, and he almost couldn't stand still.

The three senior brothers who were as close as brothers to him, Zhu Yang, Jiang Yi, and Ji Jincheng, had actually left him one after another. Ji Jincheng and Jiang Yi were even more so—neither seen in life nor their bodies in death.

And Ji Jincheng was still the own nephew of Master Ji Yun. When he left Qingyuan County, Master also told him to take good care of him. He didn't expect that after he went out for a trip and returned, what he heard was the bad news of Ji Jincheng.

"How did they meet with trouble?" Kong Yu gritted his teeth and said.

Li Xu shook his head: "I don't know, and I still can't find anyone. We only know that they never returned after leaving the sect gate. The brothers of the Young Eagle Society found the foot of the mountain and discovered a place where they fought, guessing that it might be the place where Junior Brother Ji Jincheng and Han Xing were killed."

Facing the morning sun, after ending a night of garrison duty, after another shift of disciples came to take over, Xu Yang and the three of Lu Ren walked out of the Hundred Herbs Hall.

In their line of sight, a man and a woman walked past the entrance of the Hundred Herbs Hall.

The woman had a tall figure, dressed in sportswear, with long and rounded legs, a protruding front and a curved back, and her face was also considered exquisite. The most conspicuous thing was a long sword embedded with gems hanging from her waist, emitting colorful light in the sun.

The man was half a step behind her, bending his waist slightly, holding some food in his hand, like a follower following behind, his face full of fawning.

"This sword, just the value of the scabbard is over a thousand taels." Lu Ren showed a look of envy.

Just the scabbard is worth a thousand taels; how much is the sword worth?

If he had such a family background, why would he need to be a beast of burden for others? Cultivation resources would be as much as he wanted.

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense." Gu Haoming roared in a low voice.

People who can afford such a precious sword must have a very great background, perhaps the descendants of some high-level sect.

Xu Yang's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't know this woman, and his attention was not on the sword, but on the man with a fawning expression, because this man was none other than Xiao Chen, the son of Xiao Hua.

Xiao Chen obviously also noticed Xu Yang and the others, immediately turning his head back without a trace, looking directly at Xu Yang with sharp eyes, the warning meaning self-evident.

"What are you doing?" Su Man noticed Xiao Chen's small movements and immediately showed an unhappy expression.

Xiao Chen hurriedly turned his head back and laughed: "I saw a few Outer Sect junior brothers and greeted them."

Su Man turned back and saw Xu Yang and the others dressed in the sportswear of Outer Sect disciples, and only then did her expression become better: "Don't mix with these mud-legged people."

"I understand!" Xiao Chen responded and followed the woman away.

Xu Yang had no waves in his heart; he didn't know how many people had said this, and he was already used to it.

It was just that this young master Gu Haoming couldn't stand it. As a dignified young master of the Gu family, he was actually called a mud-legged person.

Although he felt that the three words "mud-legged person" could be said to Xu Yang or Lu Ren, it obviously also included him.

He wanted to follow up and argue, but was pressed on his shoulder by a big hand.

"Don't be foolish. Compared to Miss Su, we are indeed mud-legged people." Hu Fengyi said in a low voice.

Gu Haoming had just joined the Profound Heaven Sect and didn't know Su Man's identity, but he did.

Not to mention Gu Haoming, even people like Cao Rong couldn't afford to provoke her. Didn't he see that the son of the Outer Sect deacon Xiao Hua followed behind like a dog to fawn?

"What is her identity?" Gu Haoming broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that he had almost caused a great disaster.

He hadn't seen Xiao Chen, but he knew Xiao Hua's weight in the Profound Heaven Sect.

Hu Fengyi said: "Her father is an Inner Sect deacon, and the Su family is also a martial arts family that has been passed down for a hundred years in Qingyun City. You tell me what identity she has."

Gu Haoming's back was soaked in a layer of cold sweat, and he hurriedly arched his hands: "Thank you, Senior Brother Hu, for saving me."

He had already imagined the end if he had rushed over to argue. Although he wouldn't die on the spot, the end wouldn't be good either, and the Dawn Society wouldn't care about his life or death.

"Senior Brother Hu, what is the relationship between Xiao Chen and this Su Man?" Lu Ren said.

If he remembered correctly, Xiao Chen seemed to have an unclear relationship with Lin Wei, and he had bumped into it once. Why did it look like the relationship between Xiao Chen and Su Man was also unusual today?

Hu Fengyi laughed: "Wanting to eat soft rice and climb a high branch. But looking at this appearance, this soft rice is not easy to eat; Su Man doesn't look down on him."

Lu Ren had a sneer on his face; Lin Wei thought she had hugged the thighs of the Xiao family father and son, but people were just playing with her.

Thinking of the senior sister in the Wei Yuan Hall who was full of spirit, her personality changed greatly when she arrived at the Profound Heaven Sect, rushing to stick to others, he couldn't help but show a look of contempt.

It turned out that it wasn't that the senior sister was obsessed with martial arts, but that she didn't look down on the junior brothers.

He said in a low voice: "If you don't want to cause trouble, it's best to let what you saw today rot in your stomach."

Xu Yang knew that this was said to him.

Xiao Chen and Lin Wei were unclear, and he wanted to climb up to the Su family. If Lin Wei knew about this and made a fuss, ruining Xiao Chen's plan, the Xiao family father and son would definitely retaliate.

He didn't intend to manage this nosy business. After all, he had no friendship with Lin Wei, and Lin Cheng had never taken care of him. He didn't want to offend the Xiao family father and son because of this, and perhaps even the Su family.

The only one who might say it was Xu Yang. After all, everyone knew that Lin Cheng funded Xu Yang to practice martial arts.

He didn't remind him because he was worried that Xu Yang would cause trouble, but because several people bumped into what happened today. If it spread, who knew whether it was Xu Yang who spread it or they spread it. At that time, the Xiao family father and son could only retaliate against everyone.

"No need for you to remind me."

Xu Yang said, and quickly separated from the three.
