Chapter 414: The Tide of the World Flows Southeast
Regarding the thunderstorm, there was originally no point of reference for it at all.
On the night Han Xin obtained the treasure, what the celestial phenomena were actually like — looking at it now, Mr. Wei clearly concealed the truth.
Although history does indeed record that it was Xiao He who chased Han Xin under the moonlight.
Whether any abnormal celestial phenomena occurred that night, no one knows at all!
But everything has its coincidences — when the Xisha archaeological team discovered that ship of stones, a thunderstorm also happened to appear!
And the thunderclouds gathered only above the great treasure ship!
When Tianzhen and the others braved the risk and finished moving the stones away, the thunderclouds vanished along with the great treasure ship!
This thunderstorm came in a strange way, and it also planted a seed of doubt in everyone's heart.
Now Mr. Wei points to the sky and says everything he has told was something he heard, and it really does seem to direct every key point toward Lei Sheng!
At this moment, in the second-floor Baoxiang Sect, Old Lady Huo said with astonishment: "Secrets contained within Lei Sheng? That's a novel claim!"
"This old woman has lived most of her life, and it's the first time I've heard of such a thing."
"Chang San, do you think Zhang Dafo Ye's guess is correct?"
"Everything Mr. Wei knows is hidden within Lei Sheng?"
Hearing Old Lady Huo's question, the corner of Chang San's mouth twitched involuntarily.
He looked at Zhang Lin on the stage, his eyes practically spewing fire, as if a killing intent he could not contain was about to erupt — but then he quickly reined in his emotions.
He answered Old Lady Huo's question respectfully: "This is the first I've heard of such a claim either; it's quite inconceivable."
"I even find it somewhat absurd — let's just see how this storyteller explains it."
Old Lady Huo nodded and, greatly intrigued, continued to stare at Zhang Lin.
Now many people, just like her, following the progress of Zhang Dafo Ye's story, felt not the slightest bit of fatigue, but rather a sense of unfinished pleasure.
They couldn't even tell where the low point was in Zhang Qishan's story of entering the concentration camp.
It seemed every place, every turn of the story, every appearance of a character was crucial.
The audience's minds were all on Zhang Lin, knowing that at this point every word heard was one word less they'd get to hear.
Because some had already seen the emcee reminding Zhang Lin again that business hours were up.
Normal people were all focused on the story's progress, but Zhang Lin, without changing expression, glanced at Old Lady Huo's Baoxiang Sect.
Although the killing intent Chang San had revealed lasted only a few short seconds, Zhang Lin's keen perception caught it.
When he looked up and saw the killing intent came from Old Lady Huo's Baoxiang Sect, doubt arose in his heart.
Zhang Lin had crossed hands with the old lady before and knew she would not hold such great hostility toward him now.
So this killing intent must have come from someone else in Old Lady Huo's Baoxiang Sect!
Zhang Lin moved his lips and, in a voice no one could hear, said: "Sheng Sheng, go take a look at who's in the Huo family's Baoxiang Sect."
Sheng Sheng Man had been pacing back and forth on patrol in the second-floor Baoxiang Sect, when suddenly her body stiffened — she had clearly heard Zhang Lin's instruction.
She called over a waiter and asked about the situation in the Huo family's Baoxiang Sect.
Upon learning that Old Lady Huo had ordered another pot of tea, Sheng Sheng Man said: "Give it to me, I'll deliver it."
The waiter didn't ask further and immediately handed the tea to her.
Sheng Sheng Man, carrying the tray, knocked on the Huo family's Baoxiang Sect door, then pushed it open and walked in.
Old Lady Huo had her back to the door and didn't notice the person entering.
Sheng Sheng Man spoke first: "Old lady, I heard from the waiter this is the third pot of tea you've ordered today — it's late, you should take care of your health."
Hearing the voice, Old Lady Huo finally turned around.
Seeing it was Sheng Sheng Man, her expression softened and she said: "Many thanks to you for making the trip to deliver it."
Sheng Sheng Man, eyes fixed straight ahead, set down the tea, turned around, and withdrew.
Chang San watched Sheng Sheng Man leave, frowned, and caught an unusual scent in the air.
