Chapter 1267: The Direction of Fate?

The Direction of Fate?

Calm down, calm down...

The Silver King is right here. I absolutely cannot panic now. What I need to do is to leave as silently as possible... Right now, the Red King might be nearby; he will take care of the Silver King.

Pu Jianyue continuously took deep breaths. Now that the Silver King was looking down from above, he absolutely couldn't use Divine Path Skills to leave. The best method right now was to disguise himself as an Ordinary Person and blend into the crowd.

Pu Jianyue silently pulled his cloak tighter and walked with his head down along the Alleyway.

At the same time,

In mid-air, Pu the Sixth's gaze swept across his surroundings.

"He's not in this direction?" Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, a familiar figure in a distant Alleyway caught his eye.

That person was wearing a black cloak in broad daylight, shuttling alone in an empty Alleyway. Despite clearly being so conspicuous, he didn't even spare a glance over here... Most importantly, that person's figure was actually very similar to his son's.

Pu the Sixth hesitated for a moment but still planned to see if that was his son. But just as he flew a few meters toward the Alleyway, that black cloak frantically sprinted forward in terror!!

Oh no!!

The Silver King has discovered me!!

Pu Jianyue only felt his mind go blank, and without hesitation, he pushed his speed to the absolute limit!

"There's a problem??" Seeing this posture, Pu the Sixth's face instantly turned gloomy, and he immediately gave chase.

After all, Pu the Sixth was a Seventh-Tier expert. His speed was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two shortened, and one palm grabbed toward Pu Jianyue's hood...

Damn it!

Feeling a gust of strong wind rolling from behind, Pu Jianyue knew he definitely couldn't outrun the Silver King. At this boundary between life and death, the instinctual fear from deep within his heart overpowered the messy memories in his mind. He immediately shouted at the guest house that was close at hand:

"Red King, save me!! Senior Queen of Clubs, save me!!!"

Red King? Queen of Clubs?!

To think there are actually people from the Dusk Society ambushing here?!

Pu the Sixth's expression instantly changed drastically. Without hesitation, he stopped the palm grabbing for Pu Jianyue and stood outside the guest house as if facing a formidable enemy.

It was said that the J, Q, and K cards of the Dusk Society all possessed extremely extraordinary strength. Even Pu the Sixth didn't dare to underestimate them. Not to mention, that person had just shouted for the Red King... That was a Demigod!

Taking advantage of Pu the Sixth's vigilance, Pu Jianyue charged directly to the back of the guest house, dived headfirst into the sewer, and fled once again.

But at this time, inside the guest house, Little Peach and Little White's faces were incredibly ugly!

"Little Peach! What's the situation outside just now? Why did I hear someone shouting Queen of Clubs..." Little White asked in panic and uncertainty.

"It's that idiot Pu Jianyue!! He ratted us out!!"

Little Peach glanced at Pu the Sixth outside the curtain and immediately realized something, cursing loudly in anger.

"How could there be such a !! I'mtruly convinced!! Tell me, how exactly did his brain grow?? I*..."

The original plan was for Pu Jianyue to cause a huge ruckus at the Canal Gang, and then run if he could... Who knew that this guy would actually bring the enemy to their base??

Even if Little Peach wracked her brains, she couldn't figure out what happened midway. Right now wasn't the time to think. She put on her small yellow hat without hesitation:

"Little White, hide well. We absolutely cannot be exposed... Otherwise..."

"Surround this place, there are people from the Dusk Society here!"

Pu the Sixth's voice rang out from outside again. At the same time, quite a few figures immediately surrounded this place. It should have been that loud shout just now that drew the nearby Pu Family members over.

Little Peach's face instantly turned as pale as paper!

Outside the guest house.

Seeing more and more Pu Family members gathering here, Pu the Sixth felt much more confident. He waved his large hand at the guest house before him:

"Search!"

...

[Audience Expectation Value +3]

[Current Expectation Value: 57%]

When these two lines of characters floated up before Chen Ling's eyes, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Did something really happen?"

That's not right... Even if Pu Jianyue died, the Audience Expectation Value shouldn't increase. The fact that the Expectation Value could increase meant that the matter definitely had a close connection with him and would affect his future actions...

Could it be that Pu Jianyue's identity was exposed, and he was also discovered?

Chen Ling's brows furrowed tightly. He felt that he could no longer stay in the Pu Family. Almost without hesitation, he walked directly outside the Pu Family's gates.

"Cousin, where are you going?" Pu Shu followed behind him.

"I'm going out to find a few people, you don't need to follow."

Hearing Chen Ling say this, Pu Shu understood. He thought to himself that his cousin was indeed his cousin; right after speaking harsh words to Han Meng, he immediately went to use his connections... His cousin was truly good to him.

"Alright, Brother, I'll wait for you in the Pu Family."

"Mm."

Chen Ling swaggered out of the Pu Family's main gates just like that.

Pu Shu turned around. Just as he walked toward his own room for a while, a familiar black trench coat passed by him.

"Han Meng?" Pu Shu spoke coldly, "Where are you going?"

Han Meng didn't even spare him a glance and also walked toward the main gates.

Han Meng remembered where he had seen "Pu Jianyue" before... That night, looking at him from the outside with a complex and guilty gaze, that was "Pu Jianyue." At the time, Han Meng saw his departing back, which was exactly the same as just now.

If Pu Jianyue was just Pu Shu's protective umbrella, purely here to find trouble with him, then why would he have that kind of emotion?

This "Pu Jianyue" definitely had a problem.

"Han Meng, you are just a prisoner right now, you are..."

Before Pu Shu could finish his sentence, Han Meng stopped in his tracks and looked back coldly... In an instant, the Aura of a Seventh-Tier [Judgment] Pathway Chief rushed toward Pu Shu's mind like a rolling tide!

After so much time had passed, Pu Shu was still at the Fifth-Tier, his strength not having increased in the slightest. At this moment, feeling Han Meng's overwhelming Aura, his face instantly turned deathly pale, and he subconsciously took a half step back...

"If Pu Chunshu comes back, tell him I went out to help the Pu Family investigate the case and will be back soon."

After speaking, Han Meng retracted his Aura and walked out the gates without looking back.

Pu Shu didn't step forward again this time. He knew very well in his heart that Han Meng releasing his Aura just now was already a warning after losing his patience. If he stepped forward to block him again, he was afraid it wouldn't be as simple as a verbal warning... This was a ruthless character who even dared to judge the Alliance Council. Pu Shu believed he could do anything.

"I'll let you be arrogant for now... After a while, my cousin will teach you how to behave."

Only after Han Meng had walked far away did Pu Shu snort coldly through gritted teeth.

...

Outside the Pu Family's gates, the street.

Wearing a gray vest and rimless glasses, Chen Ling shuttled through the busy street, his brain operating at flying speed.

Although he still wasn't clear exactly what mishap had occurred, he had already left the Pu Family now, so at least the danger caused by his identity being exposed could be put aside... Then currently, the only ones in the entire South Sea Domain who had any interaction with him should be Little Peach and the others...

Chen Ling decided to go back to the guest house to take a look first.

Just at this moment, he seemed to sense something, and his footsteps slightly paused...

Chen Ling keenly perceived that in the rapid flow of people behind him, a gaze was constantly locked onto him.
