Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

Now that Zhang Ning is missing and unable to speak out, the result is that as long as Zhang Ning is missing for one day, the other party, if they are thick-skinned enough, can use this to implicate Yun Huizhou.

Even if Yun Huizhou was not involved, his name would be mentioned repeatedly in the matter of Zhang Ning's disappearance.

Once a rumor starts, it is much more difficult to dispel it than to create it.

There is definitely something wrong with this Young Master Hou. When Lian Li realized that someone was trying to instigate a fight between the two sides, he thought it through. At least at this stage, Yun Huizhou and he would not take action against the people of Maple Leaf Valley for the time being.

So what is Mr. Hou's purpose in jumping out and continuing to dwell on this matter?

The only thing he could do was to continue to involve the two of them.

Mr. Hou's rank was much higher than the people in Maple Leaf Valley. He did not respond to Lian Li's words, but continued to flatter Lian Li and Yun Huizhou.

"It's not a clean-up. Before Miss Zhang disappeared, she was indeed tricked out by someone in the name of Hero Yun. Many people know about this. Therefore, I implore Hero Yun and Young Hero Lian to work together to find Miss Zhang. First, to clear Hero Yun of the suspicion of causing Miss Zhang's disappearance. Second, Zuimeng Island and Maple Leaf Valley are both famous and upright sects. In this turbulent time, we should help each other."

Lian Li felt a little unhappy after listening to him. No matter how nicely this man said, it could not hide his intention to let Yun Huizhou get involved in this matter.

Just as he was thinking about how to refuse, Yun Huizhou suddenly spoke up: "Since Master Hou said so, then I guess you have some idea about finding Zhang Ning?"

Lian Li didn't know how Yun Huizhou guessed from the other party's words that the other party had some ideas about finding Zhang Ning, but he also knew that now was not the time to ask.

The two of them were still close together, and under the cover of their bodies and sleeves, Lian Li gently squeezed Yun Huizhou's hand.

Yun Huizhou held Lian Li's hand and then gently stroked the back of his hand.

Lian Li was speechless for a moment, a little confused as to whether Yun Huizhou was flirting with him or comforting him. But no matter which one it was, it proved that Yun Huizhou must have a clear idea now, so he calmed down and waited to see the confrontation between Yun Huizhou and Mr. Hou.

However, before Mr. Hou could answer, the people from Maple Leaf Valley jumped up first.

Zhou Yu stared at Master Hou, his eyes showing an unclear emotion. He asked, "Master Hou, you said before that you would stay in Jiaopan City, but now you suddenly chased us out. Did you come here specially because you have news about Senior Sister?"

Lian Li saw that Mr. Hou's expression froze for a moment and then immediately returned to his elegant look.

Jiaopan City? Isn't that the city where the Jianghu people were hiding to guard the imperial tomb?

There was a hint of amusement in Lian Li's eyes. It was now said in the Central Plains that the most precious treasure would be unearthed in the imperial mausoleum.

Now that the time of his birth as rumored is not far away, this young master Hou actually gave up the most precious treasure in the imperial mausoleum and came all the way here to worry about Zhang Ning's disappearance.

This is really interesting. Either he is really a gentleman as he appears to be, and believes that human life is more important than that treasure.

Either he knew clearly that there was no possibility of any treasure in the imperial mausoleum, and it was fake news that deceived everyone in the world.

With such a brief contact, Lian Li could not directly judge what kind of person the other party was, but his intuition told him that this Young Master Hou was more likely the latter.

"I do have some ideas." After adjusting his expression, Master Hou began to reply to Zhou Yu's words: "After Miss Zhang disappeared, I was also very worried, so I asked the servants to pay more attention to her. A few days ago, I received news from the servants that they had seen a woman in Wulian City who looked and dressed very similar to Miss Zhang. And that time was exactly two days after Miss Zhang left Jiaopan City."

Yun Huizhou said something ambiguous: "Oh, that's been a long time. Even Master Hou has no clue. We just came back from the border and don't know anything about what's happening in the Central Plains. I'm afraid we can't help at all."

"How about this." Yun Huizhou paused, then said lazily: "Mr. Hou, please continue to pay attention. If there is any recent news, please inform us. To be honest, we have no clue at the moment, and we can't help."

His attitude was not very serious and attracted angry glares from several Maple Leaf Valley disciples.

Even Master Hou was confused by his unconventional words.

Obviously he didn't expect that Yun Huizhou would take advantage of the situation and push the blame onto him.

Yun Huizhou ignored Mr. Hou's confusion and looked at the Maple Leaf Valley disciples who were glaring at him.

After meeting his gaze for a while, those disciples turned their heads away, as if they did not dare to look at Yun Huizhou again.

However, some Maple Leaf Valley disciples looked disappointed after hearing what Master Hou said.

One of the disciples said, "It has been half a month since Senior Sister left. If we saw Senior Sister at that time, it must have been a long time."

Zhou Yu felt it was not good to hear a disciple say this, and immediately added: "But I still want to thank Master Hou for the news, but Senior Sister... eh..."

Lian Li saw that Yun Huizhou's mouth corners seemed to curl up, but when he looked carefully, he found that there was no change.

Just when he was wondering if he had seen it wrong, Yun Huizhou raised his hand to hold his shoulder and continued to say to Master Hou: "Since this is the case, let's disperse. You people in Maple Leaf Valley continue to look for news about your senior sister. Master Hou is so enthusiastic, so please continue to pay attention to Zhang Ning's affairs. Lian Li and I are alone, and Zuimeng Island doesn't have many people. We really can't help much. We can only wait for news from you. If there is news and we need to help, we will try not to refuse."

Lian Li: ...

Although I know that Yun Huizhou is a man of few words, when he really wants to choke someone, his words can be so irritating that they can kill you. But now, hearing him say such words in such a tone, and putting myself in the shoes of the people in Maple Leaf Valley and Young Master Hou, I feel really infuriated.

What does it mean to try not to refuse?

I also assigned tasks to them.

The most important thing is that just as Master Hou had praised them, Yun Huizhou turned around and gave them a compliment.

Besides, it was hard to say anything. They had promised to help, right? But they were really short of manpower, and they had just returned from the border, so they had no idea about the current situation and could not participate in the process of finding information.

But once you find out the news and ask them to help bring people back, they will try not to refuse.

Lian Li wanted to laugh now, but he knew he couldn't. It was really hard to hold it back.

He moved his steps slightly, letting Yun Huizhou block him so that the other party could not see his expression.
