Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Chapter 148 Continue to deceive

After entering the gate, Lu Xunhuan and Yun Zhongzi, led by the woman, went to the reception room.

In the hall stood a man in his forties.

The man saluted the two and said, "Master Lu, Great Elder."

Lu Xunhuan took a quick look around the living room and said to Yun Zhongzi, "Grand Elder, please go and take a look at other places in the mansion."

Yun Zhongzi nodded: "Okay."

After Yun Zhongzi left, the man said to the woman, "Why are you still standing there? Serve tea to Lord Lu."

Lu Xun Huan went to sit in the guest seat and said, "Someone reported that you are undercover agents from another country. Please explain this to me."

The man sat down in the host's seat. "I used my ancestors' wealth to buy a house in Baocheng. I just wanted to live a quiet life, but I didn't expect to attract criticism. What a mouth this world has..."

Lu Xun Huan smiled slightly. "Rumors are terrible, but once they're clarified, everything will be fine. Could you please explain where your ancestors came from, and whether they are truly from the Southern Liang Kingdom?"

The man replied, "My ancestors originally lived in Yingzhou City. But Yingzhou, to be frank, is a place where there are many disputes under the feet of the royal family. I don't want to get involved in those boring disputes, so I left for Baocheng."

Lu Xun Huan pondered for a moment and said, "But are you truly a hermit? If so, why would you buy such a shameful thing?"

The man's expression became slightly complicated. "Master Lu, I don't understand. Please explain."

Lu Xun Huan shook his head. "Why are you pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth? I know exactly whether the auction house returned Yun Zhongzi's bone to him. I also know exactly where the bone went."

The man was silent for a moment, then said, "As an auction house, they should have at least some professional ethics. How could they disclose a client's secrets?"

At this time, the woman came in holding tea.

She first went to Lu Xunhuan, put down the tea tray, took out a teacup, and poured a cup of tea for Lu Xunhuan: "Master Lu, please have some tea."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Sir, a bone suddenly appeared and was called a dragon bone by the auction house. Don't you think this is strange?"

Lu Xunhuan said this not only for the man to hear, but also intentionally for the woman to hear.

Sure enough, the woman was not that cunning. Her hand holding the tea tray trembled slightly.

Lu Xunhuan noticed her performance, he picked up the teacup and blew on it.

The man asked, "Could this be a trap set by Lord Lu to lure me into it?"

At this time, the woman walked up to the man again, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for the man.

Lu Xun Huan stared at her hand and replied to the man, "Yes, this is exactly what I set up."

After he finished speaking, he saw the woman's hand tremble slightly again.

The man suddenly laughed. "Haha, Lord Lu, that's interesting. You took a piece of bone you don't know what it is, called it a dragon bone, and even had it auctioned off publicly at an auction house. Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will punish you if he finds out?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "My work is flawless. Have you seen His Majesty punish me?"

The man raised his teacup and said, "Lord Lu is very wise, but why did you bring me into this?"

Lu Xun Huan took a sip of tea and said, "I sent Great Elder Yun Zhongzi away because I naturally had something to say that I didn't want him to hear."

He put down his teacup and lowered his voice, "There are some secrets that outsiders cannot possibly know. Even Yun Zhongzi, one of the most powerful figures in the immortal world, doesn't know them, but I do. Why do you think so?"

The man also took a sip of tea: "Lord Lu is a disciple of the sage, so he naturally knows more than the average person."

Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "No, it's both wrong and right."

As he spoke, he looked at the woman.

The expression on the woman's face was very nervous.

Li Xun Huan said to her, "Relax a little, don't be so nervous. Go and see where Yun Zhongzi has gone. If he gets close to us, you must signal us immediately."

The woman saluted: "Yes, sir."

Then she looked at the man again, turned and left.

The man pondered for a moment and asked, "From what Lord Lu said, does that mean you and I are one?"

Lu Xunhuan stood up, pretending to be worried, and paced back and forth.

"Yao Xue, you should know her, right?"

At this point, the man's hand holding the teacup finally trembled slightly.

He whispered, "Lord Lu, please tell us your purpose directly. Guessing around will only lead to misunderstandings."

Lu Xun Huan stopped pacing, walked up to him, and said, "I didn't want to disturb you unless it was absolutely necessary, but right now, it's very disadvantageous to me. If Your Majesty is suspicious, you can arrest me at any time."

The man asked, "Are you talking about those rumors about you?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "The Pavilion Master sent me as a special envoy to search for the divine bone. I found one in Zhou Kingdom, so I changed my name and came to Nanliang Kingdom to continue searching."

He pretended to be extremely serious. "At this point, I no longer need to hide my identity. I need the Shenlong Pavilion's Baocheng branch to cover me and cooperate with me to overcome the current crisis."

The man was so shocked that he was temporarily speechless.

He never dreamed that the governor of Baocheng Prefecture would be a member of the Shenlong Pavilion.

The key point is that he never knew that there was a special envoy under the Pavilion Master.

But the information Lu Xunhuan said made him believe it.

The top secret of Shenlong Pavilion is to find the divine bones.

If Lord Lu was not from the Shenlong Pavilion, it would be almost impossible for him to know this top secret.

Also, the leader of the Zhongzhou branch of Shenlong Pavilion is Yaoxue. This is also an internal secret of Shenlong Pavilion, because the names of the leaders of branches in various places are all secrets.

If Lord Lu was not from the Shenlong Pavilion, how could he even know Yaoxue?

What shocked him even more was that Lord Lu claimed to have found a piece of divine bone in Zhou Kingdom.

The leaders of the Shenlong Pavilion's branches have been working hard for the past two years, but it seems that no one has found it.

How could he not be shocked when he suddenly heard Lu Xunhuan say that he had found a piece?

After being shocked for a moment, he asked Lu Xunhuan, "So, the rumors are no longer rumors, but are true?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Whether it's true or not, you can judge for yourself. I'm going to tell you the biggest secret of the Shenlong Pavilion. Do you know who the Pavilion Master is?"

The man opened his eyes wide: "Could it be the sage Liang Jizi?"

Lu Xunhuan didn't answer him. He walked to the window, opened it, looked out, and closed it again.

Then, he paced back and said, "The dragon roared angrily in the sky, ready to fight to the death with the enemy. However, the difference in strength was too great. The opponent shattered the dragon with just one blow of his club..."

"The enormous dragon's body was broken into millions of pieces, scattered across the human world. Therefore, there are many dragon bones in the human world. However, among these many dragon bones, only six can be considered divine bones."

"I came to Nanliang and went to Baocheng first. If I couldn't find the bones in Baocheng, I would go to Yingzhou City and even more Nanliang cities. But at this time, rumors spread. If I was arrested, my mission would fail."

Seeing that he knew so much information about the Shenlong Pavilion and also knew Yaoxue, and everything he said sounded reasonable, the man had to believe it even if he didn't want to.

He asked, "So, having Yun Zhongzi by your side can both protect you and capture you."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "That's right."

The man asked, "What do you want us to do?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "When the Pavilion Master sent me as a special envoy, he didn't tell me the names of the branch leaders. I know it's Yao Xue from Zhongzhou City, but what about you?"

The man replied, "Meng Tianfang."

Lu Xunhuan chuckled, "Meng Tianfang? What a good name. Where's Meng Tian?"

The man said, "Meng Tian, ​​she's my younger sister."

Lu Xun Huan walked to the window again, pondered for a while, and said, "I'll let you know when I need your cooperation."

Yun Zhongzi had secretly followed and eavesdropped on this mansion several times, so Lu Xunhuan knew a month ago that this was the secret base of the Shenlong Pavilion's Baocheng branch, but he just didn't say anything.

Lu Xunhuan came here and fooled a lot of people. His real purpose was to get the clue of the divine bone.

But since this was his first meeting with Meng Tianfang, it was obviously not appropriate for them to have such an in-depth conversation right away. He just asked Meng Tianfang to wait for further notification and then left.

We’ll talk about the clues to the divine bones next time.
