Evil Master and Disciple

Ye Feng dragged Fu Jinghong to his room and asked San Zhier to stand guard at the door and not let anyone get close.

It was already dark at this moment, and after closing the door, the visibility inside the room was even lower.

Ye Feng pushed Fu Jinghong to sit on the chair, and then he sat next to him.

Fu Jinghong looked at Ye Feng's eyes that glowed like a night owl in the dark, and he felt a little creepy.

"I say...it's getting dark, could you light a candle? Even if you're poor, you can't afford a candle, right?"

Ye Feng put his finger to his lips and said, "We're discussing confidential matters, so we can't light candles! Not only will it make others think no one is in the room, but it will also add to the atmosphere. Have you ever seen an underground party meeting with bright lights?"

"What does this have to do with the underground party? You can't see anything without turning on the light."

"Old Fu, they say they're discussing confidential matters. What are they talking about? They're talking. Just listen with your ears. Your eyes won't be of much use."

Fu Jinghong smiled bitterly. It seemed that he had thought too much. This kid did not decipher the digital code on the parchment.

Come to think of it, I am such a smart person, but I still have no clue after trying for several months. How could this kid, who has lost his memory, crack that weird digital code in just two days?

"Old Ye, why are you being so mysterious?"

"Old Fu, do you still remember the anonymous travelogue you lent me?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"Last night, Chu Liunian from the Jade Maiden Sect came to me privately and borrowed me an identical book."

"Huh? Is there still such a thing?"

"Yes, I found that this Chu Liunian is very strange. Last night in the Xianling Valley shop, he kept asking me about poetry. I suspect that this little girl Chu is not a good person. Maybe she is also our old lover?"

"Old Chu? Little girl? Old lover?"

"My fellow countryman...slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue...but she's pretty. If we could develop into a long-term lover, that would be pretty good too."

"You little bastard, you're dreaming. You already have a fiancée, yet you're still flirting with other women? Be careful or the God of Heaven will spank you!"

"You still have Sister An Nian. When you see a long-legged beauty with an amazing figure, don't you still peek at her? I've caught you doing this several times!"

"Old Ye, you're slandering me! When did I ever watch secretly? I was clearly...clearly admiring it openly, okay?"

"Appreciate? You're so shameless! Last time I was in the square, I saw you peeking at Senior Sister Yi Xiaofu's butt!"

"You're no better than me. Every time you look at Junior Sister Shangguan Lan, you wish you could shove your head into her chest, not afraid of suffocating yourself to death... Be careful, Junior Brother Qin will break your legs!"

In the dim room, two guys sat across a table, heads pressed together, discussing [confidential matters] in low voices.

It just seems a bit off topic.

Originally, Ye Feng wanted to talk to Fu Jinghong about Chu Liunian, but just as he started, the two of them started talking about beautiful women.

Which fairy has long legs, which fairy has big breasts, which fairy has fair skin, which fairy has smooth skin...

The obscene laughter made the little green-haired boy who was guarding the door twitch his mouth.

I don’t know why these two men locked themselves in the room without turning on the lights.

Fortunately, Ye Feng discovered in time that the topic of discussion had deviated.

He said, "Old Master, now is not the time to discuss which fairy sister in our Yunhai Sect is delicate and easy to attack. We should discuss Chu Liunian from the Yunu Sect."

Fu Jinghong nodded slowly and said, "Chu Liunian is beautiful and has a great figure, but she's too proud, so it's hard to take advantage of her."

"Old Fu, this isn't a matter of whether it's easy or not. I called you here to ask if you know Chu Liunian's secret. I think there must be a deep secret hidden in her body."

"Then you're asking the wrong person. I haven't done anything to Chu Liunian, so I don't know how deep her body is."

"Uh? Are we talking about the same thing? Why do I feel like we're not on the same page?"

"Poor Taoist? You want to become a Taoist monk? It's too early. You're only sixteen years old. Your best years have just begun, but if you tie your hair and become a Taoist monk, wouldn't that be a waste of your beautiful fiancée, the most beautiful woman in the Yunhai Sect?"

Ye Feng tilted his head back and looked at Fu Jinghong in front of him.

No matter how stupid he was, he understood it.

Fu Jinghong was talking to him about all sorts of things, trying to change the subject deliberately.

Ye Feng said: "Old Fu, you seem reluctant to talk about Chu Liunian's identity. Have you known about it for a long time?"

Fu Jinghong smiled bitterly and said, "I told you last time that you will know all the secrets of that world within six months. Before you know all the secrets, I refuse to answer any of your questions about that world, including any people or events that may be related to that world."

Ye Feng was surprised.

Judging from Fu Jinghong's answer, this guy obviously knows some details about Chu Liunian.

But why doesn't he want to talk about it?

"Old Fu, I feel like something's wrong with you. If Chu Liunian is really like us, from the same place, wouldn't it be nice for everyone to get to know each other and sit down and chat? It would also help alleviate some of the homesickness."

"Homesickness? Old Ye, have you heard of the Law of the Forest for Time Travelers?"

"Uh, the law of the jungle for travelers? The universe is a vast forest, and every traveler is a hunter with a gun? To survive, these travelers are always vigilant, hiding themselves as much as possible to avoid being discovered by their own kind? If they discover the existence of another first, they will shoot them without hesitation."

"You understand that quite well, don't you?"

Ye Feng's expression gradually became silent.

He recalled the story of the two time travelers that Old Man Qingyun had told him in the ancestral hall a few days ago.

Ye Feng's heart moved, and he said, "Old Fu, is there a force in this world that is hunting down time travelers like you and me? Is Chu Liunian part of that force?"

Fu Jinghong said, "As I said earlier, I have no comment to make regarding these matters. Furthermore, I told you the other day that a senior has already gone to handle this matter and that there will be a result within six months. Therefore, during this time, you just need to remain vigilant."

Fu Jinghong's tone changed from being vulgar just now to being very serious.

Ye Feng looked into Fu Jinghong's eyes in the darkness, then nodded slowly.

He was sure that Fu Jinghong must know something about Chu Liunian's matter.

It’s just that Fu Jinghong didn’t want to say it, and he couldn’t force Fu Jinghong.

Deep down in his heart, he still believed in Fu Jinghong very much.

In addition to the feeling from deep in his heart that made Ye Feng feel that Fu Jinghong was a trustworthy person, there was another important reason, that is, they both came from the same place.

At least Ye Feng firmly believed that they were from the same hometown.

After Ye Feng pondered for a moment, he did not continue the topic of Chu Liunian.

Since Fu Jinghong said that a senior was handling the matter, Ye Feng only needed to wait for the results.

Through the shadow's previous attack, which instantly killed Fu Jinghong, who had a higher cultivation level than himself, Ye Feng finally realized one thing: with his current cultivation level, he could only compete with young opponents in the ring. When faced with a real life-and-death battle, he was not good enough at all.

The level of cultivation in this world is like the academic qualifications in the previous life.

I have just entered the third grade of elementary school, but my opponent is a graduate student.

I can handle the research papers of a third-grade primary school student, but I can't even understand the papers of a graduate student.

The same thing happens every time.

All he could do now was wait.

Ye Feng said, "Old Master, you've borrowed my jade cicada for several days. Please return it to me as soon as you're done using it! It's our engagement token. Why would it matter to you, an outsider?"

Seeing Ye Feng change the subject, Fu Jinghong smiled and said, "I'm not going to use your engagement token to snatch your woman away. Why are you so anxious? What you should be thinking about now is how to resolve the trouble you caused in the square this morning."

You don't think what I said to you in the yard just now was false, do you? Quite a few of my uncles and aunts were really angered by what you said this morning.

If it was just one or two uncles and aunts, Sixth Uncle could still suppress it, but now so many uncles and aunts are trying to trouble you. This matter is much more difficult to deal with than the dispute over the Dao name between Junior Sister Ling'er and Junior Sister Miao."

Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "I was eager to make this a big deal, and now it just happened to be what I wanted."

Fu Jinghong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Old Ye, it seems my guess is correct. You really did it on purpose today. We are in the same boat. You can trust me completely. If there is anything I can do for you, I can help you."

Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then said, "Old Master, it's a good idea for you to get involved in the matter I'm dealing with. Aren't you competing with Changkong for the throne? If you can handle this matter well, I believe your status in the heart of the head master will be greatly improved."

"Oh, what's the matter? Tell me!"

"I was stabbed today...twice."

"Ahem...what did you say? Who did it?"

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know. One was in the woods east of the zoo this morning, and the other was shortly after you arrived. The killer disguised himself as you. Fortunately, he was discovered. Otherwise, when you opened the door tonight, you would have seen my corpse."

"You...you're not kidding?"

"Old Fu, look at my serious expression now. Do you think I'm joking? The killer who pretended to be you at dusk had his arm cut off by the shadow and taken away. I was the one who washed up the blood on the ground at the door..."

Ye Feng finally told Fu Jinghong everything he was doing.

Including the existence of the third force, the truth behind the attack on Jinhe, the two contacts with that gang today, Xu Kai's confession, etc.

When hearing other things, Fu Jinghong's expression remained calm.

However, when he heard that it was a mysterious shadow master who killed the guy who pretended to be him, Fu Jinghong's expression changed obviously.

He asked, "What did the shadow that attacked look like? Have you seen it before?"

Ye Feng shook his head and said, "He was wearing a long green robe and a very wide hat on his head. I could only vaguely see his eyes through the crack in the door. Those eyes were very scary, like the eyes of a dead person without emotion or life.

From his voice, I can tell that he's quite old, probably an elder who's several hundred years old."

"Old Ye, are you sure he didn't kill the person pretending to be me?"

"No, he just cut off the man's arm and took him away. I guess the head master wanted to keep him alive, so he didn't kill him on the spot."

Fu Jinghong touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

He thought Ye Feng had been fighting with Dugu Changkong, but he didn't expect things to be so complicated.

There is also a group of people doing things in secret.

Fu Jinghong said, "I don't think I can help you with this matter."

"Why? If you can make a big splash in this matter, you will definitely be recognized by the head master, which will be very beneficial for you to compete with the eldest brother for the throne in the future."

"Since this group of people were able to place Lin Yi next to Senior Brother, then they must have people around me as well. We can't act rashly now.

But don't worry, since Master has already taken action, these people won't be able to cause any trouble."

"Old Fu, didn't you notice these people before? If you didn't notice anything, why did you let An Nian go to the back mountain to protect me that day?"

Ye Feng asked the question in his mind.

Fu Jinghong said: "Although I was aware of it, I thought it was Senior Brother who was going to attack you. I asked An Nian to protect me privately because I was worried that Senior Brother would notice. Because Senior Brother has indeed been monitoring my every move. It would be convenient for me to act since An Nian is not on Xingluo Peak. I didn't expect that there was still a group of people in Yunhai Sect causing trouble.

Although I cannot participate in this matter, it is still very beneficial for me to know about it in advance."

"Old Fu, what do you think I should do?"

"You are the bait thrown out by Master and Sixth Uncle to lure these people out..."

You should eat, drink, and go for a walk when you have nothing to do. You can rest assured that Shadow is protecting you in the dark, so you will be absolutely safe."
