Chapter 192: Xia He: Even If You Don't Die, You'll Lose a Layer of Skin

"Hey, you lost!"

Chen Duo stood up abruptly, looking at Feng Baobao beside her.

Feng Baobao stared wide-eyed at her phone.

"Impossible, my phone lagged!"

Feng Baobao said.

The others watched the two women, who were clearly not in the right state of mind, and were all somewhat speechless.

"Chen Duo, the things on your body..."

Lao Meng wanted to ask, but then realized there were others present and immediately shut his mouth.

Chen Duo glanced at Lao Meng.

"They're gone. Someone helped me get all those things out."

After finishing her sentence, Chen Duo sat back down and started another round with Feng Baobao.

The two of them were having a great time playing puzzle games.

"Lao Meng, I've been wanting to ask, do you know this person?"

Wang Zhenqiu was fishing for information in almost every sentence.

"I suppose you could say I know her."

Lao Meng turned his head to look at Wang Zhenqiu, then sighed and didn't continue.

Wang Zhenqiu looked thoughtful.

Aside from the crackling sound of the fire burning, the factory fell into silence.

……

Yaoxing Society.

"You didn't bring her back? The person was snatched away?"

Qu Tong lay half-reclined on the soft sofa, her legs crossed, repeating Ma Xianhong's words from just a moment ago.

"Forget it, it's not like there's no other way."

Making deals with the All-Virtuous is fine, but Qu Tong didn't want to get too deeply involved with them.

To find the secret from back then, Ma Jinfeng and Xia Liuqing were both key points.

After all, these two veteran seniors of the All-Virtuous were both people who had stayed by the side of that original All-Virtuous Sect Leader.

Especially Jinfeng Popo.

If this side doesn't work, then there's the other side.

Thinking of this, Qu Tong raised her hand and gently turned the ring on her finger.

A bead on the ring lit up.

"The information I want."

A moment after Qu Tong finished speaking, Gong Qing's voice sounded.

"Fine, I will give it to you."

Then there was no more movement.

Qu Tong lowered her hand and pondered slightly.

This All-Virtuous Sect Leader is not someone easy to deal with; although he is not old, his shrewdness and courage are both quite impressive.

Not only did he break the deadlocked bet of the All-Virtuous this time, he even seized the initiative.

But this time, they have to act ahead of schedule.

The All-Virtuous side is likely eyeing that place as well.

However, as far as is currently known, only Ma Jinfeng probably knows; even Xia Liuqing might not.

Thinking of this, Qu Tong stood up directly and picked up an internal telephone.

"Jia Yi and Jia Er squads, await orders."

"Yes!"

A slightly aged voice came from the phone.

On the other side.

Gong Qing disconnected the Dharma Artifact call, revealing a slightly contemplative look.

"Lv Liang, I need you to do something for me."

"What?"

Lv Liang raised his head to look at Gong Qing.

"Extract someone's memory."

"Whose?"

"Jinfeng Popo's."

"Huh? Xia Liuqing will smash your dog head in."

Upon hearing this, Lv Liang's expression stiffened, and then he looked speechless.

As a century-old sycophant, Xia Liuqing's attitude toward Ma Jinfeng was known to everyone in the All-Virtuous.

Don't look at how old Ma Jinfeng is now; if anyone dares to stare at her, Xia Liuqing would truly take action and smash that person's head in.

That old man is reckless.

"I know."

Gong Qing waved his hand upon hearing this, his expression unchanged.

"Since you've said so, I can do it, but if Old Man Xia comes knocking later, you'll have to handle him."

Lv Liang said with a smile.

"Fine!"

After Gong Qing finished speaking, he stood up; seeing this, Lv Liang stood up, brushed the dust off his backside, and followed after him.

As soon as the two of them came out, two figures, one tall and one short, approached them.

"How exactly will you give me the Hundred Refinements of Divine Machinery? Are you really not afraid that I, Laozi, will finish you off?"

Yuan Tao's eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly at Gong Qing.

"If you have the guts."

Gong Qing glanced at Yuan Tao and said in a flat tone.

"You..."

Yuan Tao let out a cold snort, and then he saw Gong Qing pull a booklet out from his bosom.

"The item is right here; if you have the guts, come and take it."

Yuan Tao's eyes were fixed straight on the booklet in his hand.

"You little brat..."

Yuan Tao struggled to tear his eyes away from the booklet and let out a cold snort.

"I said it, work—only by working will it do; you have already seen the first part, and this alone is enough for you to do things for me for a long time."

"I, Laozi, know that!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tao took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around, and left.

Not far away, several other experts of the All-Nature Sect were quietly watching all of this.

"Contact Elder Xia; I have something to find him for."

Gong Qing turned his head to look at the few people in the distance and raised his voice to call out.

"You're crazy. You don't intend to do it here, do you? If you're discovered, even you won't be able to withstand it."

Lv Liang said in a lowered voice.

"I know what I'm doing."

Gong Qing glanced at Lv Liang.

"You guy really are crazy."

Upon hearing this, Lv Liang's expression was somewhat speechless.

"I'm not crazy; I'm very clear-headed. I know what I'm doing, and I know which people can be provoked and which cannot. Only in this way can one live longer."

"What do you mean by that? Yuan Tao can be provoked, and Xia Liuqing can also be provoked?"

Lv Liang looked at Gong Qing upon hearing this, but Gong Qing did not answer.

Footsteps sounded.

Lv Liang turned his head to look, his expression surprised.

"Sister Xia, you're back? You didn't go find that person? Didn't you already make up your mind?"

Lv Liang was somewhat surprised.

Gong Qing also looked at Xia He with curiosity.

"I don't want to die yet. I just feel that if I go, I'll lose a layer of skin even if I don't die."

Xia He shook her long pink hair as she spoke.

"Uh, Sister Xia, what you said makes sense."

Lv Liang nodded; he had never met Lin Xuan, but he had heard too much news about him.

Especially those who had encountered Lin Xuan before; they were all tight-lipped.

"That person doesn't even need to make a move. According to the True Person's innate ability, if you approach, you are also harboring ill intentions. Perhaps you wouldn't even be able to reach the other party before encountering disaster; it's not that there isn't a way, though."

Gong Qing suddenly said.

"What?"

Xia He was stunned upon hearing this, her eyes looking at Gong Qing with some surprise.

This guy was becoming more and more mysterious.

"Lv Liang can delete your memories. Do not resist; let him delete your memories from these years, and then you can go look for the other party. You can walk up to that person, but I cannot guarantee the outcome."

Gong Qing said.

Xia He's expression was strange upon hearing this, and she raised a finger to point at her own face.

"Acting Sect Leader, tell me, are you crazy or am I crazy?"

Naturally, Xia He would not do such a thing.

Doing so would be equivalent to completely handing her own life and death over to someone else.

"Then there's no help for it. After all, you are All-Nature Sect, and that person is a True Person of the Quanzhen Inner Elixir, and the only one at that. Their strength has reached an indescribable level. Although I didn't see that battle in the no-man's-land with my own eyes, the Company later mobilized a large number of personnel and machinery to enter the no-man's-land.

It seems the destruction caused by the two of them was great, requiring such a scale to be dispatched to cover the traces."

Gong Qing shook his head slightly after finishing.

"Ah?"

Xia He widened her eyes, and Lv Liang also wore a blank expression.

"You guys didn't think of this layer? I remember you knew this news."
