Chapter 235 Taking advantage of each other
With the entire villa watching, Tong Zhan forcibly took away Spring Snow of the Crow from Yin Tianxue's hands and agreed to meet again tomorrow night.

"Second Master, do you want to send someone to follow?"

A guard came to Yin Zhong to ask for instructions.

Yin Zhong waved his hand and ordered, "No need, you all go down."

"Yes!"

After a large group of Iron Armored Guards retreated, Yin Zhong walked alone towards the pavilion in front. Seeing his appearance, Lu Ping knew that the other party was planning to have a private chat, so he followed him.

The night was bright and the breeze was cool.

Because the pavilion is next to the pool, the beautiful scenery is clearly visible through the rippling water on the pool surface.

When there was no one around, Lu Ping finally walked out from the darkness.

"It's a shame to visit you at night. Please forgive me, Master Yin Er."

Yin Zhong was unsure of Lu Ping's intention, and was afraid of his martial arts that could defeat the Flame Demon, so he did not dare to be careless. Therefore, even though he was right at the moment, he showed a "gentle" smile on his face.

"But I don't know why Young Master Lu broke into Yujian Villa at night?"

"And what is the relationship with that young master surnamed Tong?"

The two questions seemed casual, but there was a hint of hostility in the voice.

Lu Ping understood that Yin Zhong acted like this because he followed Tong Zhan and thought he had a connection with the Tong family.

"The young man surnamed Tong is the one just now, right?"

Lu Ping laughed and said, "Master Yin Er has misunderstood. I have nothing to do with that brother."

"I just happened to see him breaking into Yu Jian Villa at night, and I didn't hear any movement inside the villa. I was worried that he might be a thief, so I followed him to take a look."

"I think you also know that the Southern Wulin is plagued by natural disasters and man-made disasters. The court is in turmoil, and there are many bandits in the martial arts world. People are in a panic and it is not peaceful."

Yin Zhong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a calm smile: "I see, thank you for your concern, Young Master Lu."

"However, under the jurisdiction of Yu Jian Villa, we have not heard of any thieves or bandits causing chaos or the people suffering from disasters."

Lu Ping took over the conversation and said, "I have heard a lot about your good reputation along the way. Everyone says that Yu Jian Villa is well governed and can protect the peace of this area."

"For such a peaceful scene, Yu Jian Villa has made great contributions!"

This was half polite flattery, half sincere praise, and Yin Zhong accepted it calmly: "Hahaha... Young Master Lu, thank you for your compliment."

Lu Ping smiled politely, turned to look at Yin Tianxue's courtyard, and continued gossiping.

"It seems that I have misunderstood."

"The brother just now doesn't seem to be a villain, but a young man who admires young love, so he sent flowers late at night. And it seems that there are quite a few people in your village who know about this?"

How come you, a little kid who hasn't even grown all your hair, speaks more maturely than me?
Yin Zhong glanced at him and quickly reached out to stop Lu Ping from speaking: "Young Master Lu, please take back what you said. And please pretend that you didn't see what happened tonight."

"Otherwise, if this gets out, it will be bad for the reputation of Yu Jian Villa and my niece!"

Lu Ping nodded: "Although I am still young, I know the pros and cons of this, so I will keep my mouth shut!"

The two of them sat down while talking politely.

After they sat down, Yin Zhong asked again, "I wonder why you came here, young man?"

"Even if you have something important to trouble you with, you should have paid a formal visit tomorrow and informed my eldest brother."

Lu Ping nodded: "I saved it."

"But now that you're here, why not just let me tell you all at once?"

Yin Zhong had no objection, so he said, "In that case, I would like to hear the details!"

Lu Ping nodded: "To be honest, I came here to solve the current problem in the Southern Wulin. I have something to ask Master Yin Er, the details..."

Then, he repeated what Zhu Wusi had said today about the 'Spirit of the Vermillion Bird', and specifically mentioned the key words 'Water Moon Cave Heaven' and 'Tong Family'.

"...I wonder if Manor Master Yin II knows anything about this place and this clan?"

Do you understand anything?

Then you have asked the right person, I know them too well!!
Hearing those familiar terms, Yin Zhong's heart burned with hatred, and his eyes unconsciously became sharp and fierce. When he realized that there was a Lu Ping in front of him, he quickly restrained his expression and started to think carefully again.

The essence of Vermillion Bird?

A place filled with fire and magma?

This must be Hell Rock. It turns out that it was evolved from the essence of the Vermillion Bird?!
It seems that if what is recorded in the book and what Yan Tuolong said are correct, there must be something wrong with Hell Rock... No, there must be something wrong with the entire Shuiyue Cave!
No wonder, no wonder the Tong family reappeared after five hundred years!

Yin Zhong finally figured out all the clues that had been bothering him recently, but he was still confused. He looked at Lu Ping and asked, "In such a big world, why would Young Master Lu think of asking me first?"

Of course it’s because I have a God’s perspective!

Lu Ping thought to himself, but on the surface he turned the tables and looked at Yin Zhong strangely. "Except for Senior Yan Tuolong, who I just met briefly at the Hundred Martial Arts Conference today, Master Yin is the only person I know who can use magic, so of course I would think of you first!"

"And according to the records in Strange Stories, the sacred beast Suzaku sacrificed himself to maintain the connection between Southern Wulin and the Shenzhou Continent, so its fallen body should naturally be at the border between Southern Wulin and the Central Plains."

"Yujian Villa is the manager of this area of ​​hundreds of miles, and the second owner of the villa is the real power and decision-maker of Yujian Villa. If I don't come to you, who else should I go to?"

The words were well-reasoned and convincing, and Yin Zhong could not find any point to refute.

Lu Ping paused, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise, slammed the table and stood up.

"Wait, Manor Master Yin just said that the man who broke into the manor tonight was named 'Tong'?"

Yin Zhong's heart skipped a beat.

Lu Ping pretended to think for a while, then said, "Thinking carefully, the way that brother is dressed seems to be quite different from the people around here."

"Could it be that he is from Shuiyue Cave Heaven?"

What a coincidence, it’s just as I thought!
Yin Zhong secretly admired Yu Luping's intelligence and quick thinking, but his face showed confusion, surprise and surprise.

"In fact, Yu Jian Villa has not yet investigated the origins of that young master. Perhaps, as the young man said, they are from that strange 'Water Moon Cave'?"

At this time, Yin Zhong had an idea in his mind.

Why not let this kid take the lead and help me figure out the purpose of those Tong family members. It would be best if he could find out the location and current situation of Shuiyue Cave. Then I can follow him in the name of "caring about Southern Martial Arts and worrying about the spirit of Vermillion Bird". Wouldn't it be easier this way?

Having made up his mind, Yin Zhong felt more and more that he was very clever and resourceful. He couldn't help but feel secretly proud of himself, and the smile on his face became even more intense.

"This matter is so important, Yin will definitely stand up and help!"

"That Master Tong will visit again tomorrow night. Then Young Master Lu can meet him and ask him about his background in detail."

“If they are really from the Tong family of Shuiyue Cave Heaven, guarding the essence of the Vermillion Bird, and if something unexpected really happens in the family, Yujian Villa will definitely not stand idly by!”

Yin Zhong said this with great righteousness, and there did not seem to be a trace of hypocrisy on his face.

Seeing this, Lu Ping sighed inwardly: It turns out that age is always more valuable!

There is such a big difference in attitude before and after. This guy Yin Zhong must be thinking about how to use me to get close to the Tong family, right?

With this acting skill, how many young handsome guys can he beat?
However, no matter how well-intentioned it is, since the other party is willing to cooperate, it will always facilitate one's actions.

Yin Zhong got the upper hand and finally remembered that he was still the owner of this place. He looked at Lu Ping with concern and said, "Young Master Lu, you have traveled all the way here, so I guess you haven't had dinner yet, right?"

Lu Ping nodded: "Indeed..."

Yin Zhong smiled gently: "I will ask the servants to prepare some food and send it to the guest room. I will also boil some hot water for Young Master Lu to wash up. How about you stay at Yu Jian Villa tonight?"

I still need this kid's help to explore the situation of Shuiyue Cave, so I must be careless in entertaining him.

There is food, drink, water to bathe, and a place to sleep...

This kind of treat is really hard to refuse!

Lu Ping was not polite and immediately agreed: "Then I'll trouble Master Yin Er!"

……

The next day.

Lu Ping got up, washed up, and was about to go out to find something to eat. Unexpectedly, when he walked to the water pavilion, he saw Yin Tianqi and Yin Tianxue, a brother and sister, who were having fun and watching them.

"Mr. Lu? Why are you in my house?"

Yin Tianqi knew Lu Ping because he had followed the Yu Jian Villa group to Tian Yun Mountain to watch the fight between Yin Zhong and Yan Mo.

Moreover, as the young master of the manor, he also needs to receive all kinds of news in the martial arts world from time to time. In recent times, he naturally also heard about Lu Ping's feat of defeating the Flame Demon and expelling the Western Sword School.

"So you are the young master and the eldest lady. I came to visit the second master of Yin Manor yesterday. As it was late at night, the second master kindly invited me to stay for one night."

When Yin Tianqi heard that Lu Ping was Yin Zhong's guest, he didn't think it was a big deal.

Yin Tianxue, who was standing by, was visibly panicking. Her pupils were trembling, her hair was standing on end, her hands and feet were cold, and her heartbeat was involuntarily speeding up.

Of course she knew who this young Master Lu was.

A month ago, in the woods north of Fengyun City, Yin Tianxue and Yin Tianchou, brother and sister, recognized each other. They also learned from each other that Lu Ping was right next to them at the time and may have witnessed the entire process of Yin Zhong absorbing people's essence. He might have also discovered his secret.

So it is reasonable for Lu Ping to know himself.

But from that time on, Yin Tianxue had closely tied the name Lu Ping together with Yin Zhong in her heart, and regarded him as an extremely dangerous person.

Later, when I heard that Lu Ping defeated the Flame Demon, I became even more certain of this idea.

Just ask yourself, how could an ordinary sixteen-year-old boy possibly deal with that kind of enemy?

You know, that’s an opponent that even his mysterious second uncle can’t beat!
What does such a dangerous person want to do by coming to my house openly?
