Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills
Chapter 211 Old things
Ying took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. The slightly chilly atmosphere in the Soul Locking Prison made her feel uncomfortable.
"It seems that we need to help you find the prisoner first, so that you can spare some time to help us?" Ying asked helplessly. She did not feel dissatisfied, but just felt a little frustrated.
"This is my job, so I don't dare to bother you anymore." Po Zhen waved his hands again and again, "I just hope you can wait a little longer. Of course, I will also try to contact Dong Ye."
At this time, Luo Shan and Ni Hui also came out from the depths of the Soul Locking Prison. Their eyes fell on Ying. Ni Hui realized that this person was the strong man who had solved the attack on the Soul Locking Prison before. He immediately stepped forward and laughed at Ying:
"This must be Fellow Daoist Ying. I was really grateful for your help during the previous attack by the demon cultivator. Otherwise, the Mountain-Breaking Sword would have fallen into the hands of the demon cultivator for nothing."
"No, no, it's what I should do." Ying remained modest, yet felt that there seemed to be some kind of discord in the words of the man in front of her.
Looking at Luo Shan behind Po Zhen, Ying seemed to realize that they could not be called friends.
"Ahem!" Ying coughed twice, turned his gaze away from the two men, and continued to speak to Pozhen:
"I'm free anyway, so why not help you find it?"
"That's not necessary, Fellow Daoist Ying. You just need to wait for a few more days. As for Dong Ye, I will let the other people in Lan Palace inform him first." Po Zhen shook his head and signaled Ying with his eyes to leave.
These are all internal affairs of Lan Palace, and are also his personal troubles. He does not intend to trouble Ying now.
"Okay, thank you in advance."
Ying and Wenlan both noticed that the atmosphere here was not right. They looked at each other and left the Soul Locking Prison with Guiyan.
"What's wrong? I feel like you left in a hurry." Gui Yan was young and inexperienced, and didn't understand what was going on, but he could see a clue.
"Nothing, I just saw that they are busy breaking the formation, so it's inconvenient for us to continue disturbing them." Ying habitually made an excuse, which was also a white lie, but just as she said it, she realized that Gui Yan was not Paimeng. After hesitating for a while, she was about to tell the real situation, but was interrupted by a figure that suddenly appeared.
That person turned out to be Ni Hui, the Ni Hui they had just met in the Soul Locking Prison.
When Ying saw the other person, she felt confused and alert, but she didn't know how to address the other person, so she had to smile and greet him as kindly as possible.
"Haha, I've heard that a distinguished guest has come to Fengyang City today. Seeing him today, I find that he is indeed extraordinary." Ni Hui started with flattery, appearing extremely enthusiastic. Ying glanced at him warily and responded indifferently:
"You are the one who was next to Pozhen just now, do you have something to do with us?"
"I just want to meet the legendary traveler, and by the way, express my gratitude for helping our Lan Palace resolve the crisis of the Soul Locking Prison." Ni Hui cupped his hands, still smiling on his face, but as soon as he finished speaking, a hint of gloom appeared in his eyes.
"Come to think of it, when Lan Palace was attacked, Po Zhen happened to be there to guard it. I guess Fellow Daoist Ying and Po Zhen knew each other at that time, right?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"I think he is the mortal enemy of Po Zhen, and I want to take this opportunity to tell you not to help Po Zhen." Wen Lan said "Hey" and looked at Ni Hui with a little contempt in his eyes.
There are quite a few people like this in the gathering place. They have no strong abilities and no hope of entering the city, but they are self-important. In the end, they pretend to be decent people in front of others, but secretly, they even do small things like stealing and doing bad things.
Wen Lan had met quite a few people, and although she didn't know what had happened in the Lan Palace and the Soul Locking Prison, she had guessed most of it based on the information she had heard and her own life experiences. She also guessed Ni Hui's plan.
Unexpectedly, Ni Hui's idea was exposed, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. The smile on his face just froze a little, and then he continued to say to Ying without changing his expression:
"Yes, I do want to break the formation and take the position of the elder."
"Fellow Daoist Ying, do you know how the elder who broke the formation got his position?"
"I don't know." Ying shook her head. She wanted to say "I don't care".
“Back then, Tiangong Ridge colluded with the Ye family and spread the blood of immortals everywhere, causing a disaster. At that time, under the instructions of Wanxian Pavilion, our Lan Palace participated in the encirclement and suppression of Tiangong Ridge. The battle that ultimately destroyed Tiangong Ridge was led by our Lan Palace.” When mentioning this, Ni Hui showed a hint of pride on his face, as if that was the period when Lan Palace was at its most powerful.
"Back then, Po Zhen was just like me and Luo Shan, just a sect steward. Although he has a higher level of cultivation, if we really talk about it, it is not his turn to be an elder."
"He is now the elder because he killed the demon cultivator Zhou Ping with his own hands."
"But do you know how he killed Zhou Ping?" Ni Hui suddenly clenched his hands. He finally got to the key point, but Ying still said coldly:
"Speak the key."
"Uh... cough, it seems that Fellow Daoist Ying is a man of swift and decisive actions. I overlooked this. Ah, that, the reason why Po Zhen was able to kill Zhou Ping was because he used a trick to capture Zhou Ping's first wife and used her as a threat, and was finally able to get rid of Zhou Ping."
"You have to know that Zhou Ping's first wife is just an ordinary person..." Ni Hui said this but did not continue, as if he wanted Ying to figure out the true meaning behind all this in his own mind. However, the guiding meaning in his words was already very obvious.
He wanted Ying to doubt Po Zhen, and wanted Ying to think that Po Zhen was a person who would do anything to achieve his goals, so as to discourage Ying from wanting to help Po Zhen.
but……
"But this has nothing to do with me, right?" Ying frowned slightly, not wanting to get involved in the internal disputes of the other sect. Her purpose was very simple -
"I don't care whether what you said is right or not. I need his help now anyway. Even if you want me to stay away from him, I'm afraid you can only ask me to give up what I want to do."
"That's true, but I'd like to ask Brother Daoist Ying to reconsider this."
Seeing that he had been talking for a long time without achieving the desired effect, Ni Hui seemed a little discouraged, but he quickly controlled his expression, smiled politely at Ying and others, and did not waste any more time.
Seeing Ni Hui leave, Ying turned around and looked at Gui Yan beside him, or to be precise, at Ling Yue.
"It seems that we are facing more and more troubles."
