Peerless Protégé [Rebirth]

The two squatted in front of the bone-changing spring for a while, Luo Jiening couldn't help but asked, "What did Tang Xuantong say?"

Only then did Zhong Zhili speak slowly: "They thought that if there was a traitor who poisoned him, it would be the last one left. So, they are waiting for the last survivor."

Luo Jiening smiled without image, and said: "Then, what if they all die?"

Zhong Zhili looked at him and said, "Then, he is a member of the sect."

Luo Jiening said: "So, he suspects that we have planted an undercover agent on their side? Or maybe among their disciples?" He smiled and said, "With all due respect, I don't think Nan Chengshu has that ability , and I don’t have that boldness.”

Zhong Zhili raised his head and asked him, "Then who do you think has the ability and courage?"

Luo Jiening smiled back and said, "Of course it's those people who are behind the scenes."

The two were silent for a moment, Luo Jiening said: "Go and see Nanwang."

Zhong Zhili nodded and was about to get up.Unexpectedly, just as he stood up, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he couldn't even stand up, and he fell straight into the spring.Even though Luo Jiening had sharp eyes and quick hands, when he reacted, Zhong Zhili had already fallen into it.

Luo Jiening was taken aback by him. In this weather, the spring water was icy cold, and he was afraid that he might get a cold.He immediately jumped down too, grabbed Zhong Zhili and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhong Zhili came back to his senses after being washed by the cold water, looked at Luo Jiening's overly anxious face, but smiled a little, pressed him and said, "I'm fine. It's just that I've been squatting for a long time."

Luo Jiening jumped down after him. He was worried about Zhong Zhili, but now he suddenly realized that the water in the spring was really piercing. Although he wore a lot of clothes, his whole body was soaked and shivering from the cold. Zhili tightened even more, and said straight: "It's so cold, so cold..."

Zhong Zhili followed him, and the two of them jumped up together. A gust of cold wind blew by, and Zhong Zhili also turned pale.Luo Jiening urged him, "Go back and change your clothes."

The two went back and changed their clothes before Zhong Zhili went to see Nanwang.Being awakened by Luo Jiening so quickly, I just don't know what Nan Wang will think.Luo Jiening, on the other hand, kowtowed melon seeds while chatting with Yang Tianming with a relaxed expression.

As soon as Nan Qingwen came in, he met the two of them and asked, "Why do you still have time to chat here?"

Luo Jiening chuckled and said, "I'm ashamed to say it, but I really have nothing to do."

Nan Qingwen asked: "Is that the end of Yanyan's matter?"

Luo Jiening supported his head and took a sip of tea before slowly saying: "If it's not like this, what else can we find?"

Only then did Yang Tianming come to his senses, and quickly asked: "What is the meaning of this? Could it be that there is no one who caused Yanyan to die? Also, you made it clear last time, why didn't you speak? When the old man who detoxified cannot be found."

Luo Jiening was not surprised that this person still remembered that incident until now, which can be regarded as distraction.Ji Nan Qingwen said: "If you keep being depressed like this, won't people treat us like persimmons?"

"Oh?" Luo Jiening was quite surprised, looked at him and asked, "You have to make it clear, who treats us like a persimmon? Do you mean Tang Xuantong, or do you mean something else?"

Nan Qingwen was at a loss for words, only Yang Tianming interrupted and said, "Why are we talking about Tang Xuantong again?"

Luo Jiening smiled and said, "It seems that you know a lot."

Yang Tianming was even more confused, and asked, "I don't know anything!"

"I didn't mention you." Luo Jiening glanced at him angrily, then turned to Nan Qingwen and said, "You also went to the meeting with the head of the sect, right? Wuchenxuan is waiting to catch the last person. If you can't wait, What do you think the result will be?"

Nan Qingwen pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked: "Isn't it our fault?"

Luo Jiening smiled meaningfully, and said: "It's our fault, that's what they thought at the beginning. Think about it, a small mountain town is full of people raised under Wuchenxuan's nose, What kind of undercover traitor can come out? I’m afraid I’m afraid, the whole thing is just framing.”

Nan Qingwen stood up abruptly and asked, "What does this mean?"

Luo Jiening said: "For the poisoning in Yuzhou, we didn't find out who poisoned it, but when Zhong Xiao and I went to Yanzhou, we happened to meet the old man who had detoxified it. As soon as we got the antidote, Wuchenxuan over there was poisoned. After that, Li Mingyan was killed. Shancheng Town is tightly controlled, but Jiuquan Town is full of fish and dragons. Think about it, isn't it a thief calling for a thief?"

Nan Qingwen frowned, and said angrily: "They are just for one crime, can't they even give up the people of a town?"

Luo Jiening laughed out loud: "There are so many people who died innocently in Jianghu, who has justified their names?"

Yang Tianming said on the side: "If this is the case, Wuchenxuan is too shameless!"

"Hey!" Luo Jiening waved his hand at him, and said, "Don't say that. Unscrupulous, sometimes it's a strategy."

Ji Nan Qingwen asked: "By the way, senior brother once said that those who chased and killed him all used knives. How do you explain this?"

Luo Jiening faintly felt something bad in his heart, he asked his two senior brothers to investigate this matter, but he didn't expect that Nan Qingwen knew the details, maybe he leaked the news.He only said: "The people who chased and killed Li Mingyan's father also used knives."

"No wonder!" Yang Tianming exhaled and said, "It seems that after they killed father, they didn't even spare their daughter!"

"It's too early to draw conclusions now." Luo Jiening knocked on the rim of the white porcelain cup, and said, "Li Mingyan's father also said that among those who poisoned him were people from Xuantianlou. Now make a set of martial arts clothes It was so easy."

"Our people?" Yang Tianming and Nan Qingwen asked in unison.

Luo Jiening raised an eyebrow at them and wanted to leave.Nan Qingwen asked from behind: "Junior brother, have you told the head of this?"

Luo Jiening looked back and smiled: "Of course I said it."

He walked slowly to Zhong Zhili's room, and before entering the room, he heard Zhong Zhili say inside: "We'll talk about it when Brother Luo comes."

Luo Jiening was rather curious, how could the two of them talk about him, so he immediately opened the door and entered the room, saying: "I'm coming."

When Nan Wang saw that it was him, he couldn't sit still for a while, and quickly said, "Brother is here."

Luo Jiening looked over, the tears on Nan Wang's face were still clearly visible, he had indeed cried a lot.Turning to look at Zhong Zhili, he saw that he was quite helpless, and said to him: "Nan Wangdao, I'm going to see the head."

Luo Jiening let out a sigh, and said with a smile: "Okay. But the head is not here now, and he won't be back until later."

He looked at Zhong Zhili, and said, "What are you discussing? It takes so long to discuss with a master?"

Seeing that he had no objection, Zhong Zhili felt relieved and said, "I listen to you."

Nan Wang rushed forward all of a sudden, looked up at him eagerly, and asked, "Will the head recognize me?"

Luo Jiening out of nowhere reached out his hand and touched the top of his head, and said: "Yes, we will have dinner first, and we will accompany you to meet the head."

"it is good."

Luo Jiening sat beside Zhong Zhili, and only glanced at him silently. The two of them had reached a consensus, and they also quietly had dinner with Nan Wang.Then Luo Jiening said: "Nan Wang, you also have a piece of jade around your neck, right?"

Nan Wang nodded obediently, and took out the jade engraved with twining plum blossoms from his collar.Luo Jiening took a closer look, the jade was different from the one on Li Mingyan, it was obvious that it was worth a lot.The tangled plum blossoms are not simply engraved on it, but a few drops of red ink are painted in the middle of the jade body, and there is a vague shadow of plum blossoms, which is surprisingly beautiful.

Luo Jiening nodded, and said: "Put it away, maybe the master still remembers this piece of jade."

Nan Wang carefully put it inside his collar.Luo Jiening turned to look at Zhong Zhili, the two looked at each other, but couldn't take their eyes away for a moment, Luo Jiening smiled at him.

At this time, Nan Wang whispered beside him: "Brother, you smile so softly at Brother Zhong. It's not like you at all."

Luo Jiening was almost told by him, but his face was a little blushing, and he said impatiently: "Nonsense."

"I……"

Nan Wang still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Luo Jiening: "The head should be back by now. Let's take him there."

Ever since he came to Mount Qitai, Nan Wang had an inexplicable sense of awe towards the head of the sect.Even if Li Mingyan went missing, and he came up to report the incident, he never saw Nan Chengshu directly.Only this time, he made up his mind.Since Nan Chengshu didn't even know that he had a son, then the recognition this time would probably be much simpler.

In Lan Mulin's memory, when Nan Wang was identified as Nan Chengshu's son, Nan Wang's grandfather had entrusted Nan Wang to Lan Mulin.But now, with Lan Mulin gone, Luo Jiening and Zhong Zhili are the people he can rely on.However, these two people were often absent, if one or two left, no one would be able to take care of him.Besides, those disciples only heard that Nan Wang was the clue person about the Yuzhou matter, and they took care of him just because they didn't want the clues to be cut off.

The three of them walked to Nan Chengshu's study room. At this time, he had indeed returned and was reading a book under the lamp.Zhong Zhili knocked on the door first, and after getting a response, the three finally entered the study.

When Nan Chengshu saw Nan Wang, he was slightly surprised, "He is Nan Wang, right?"

"Exactly." Zhong Zhili looked towards Nan Wang, who immediately said obediently: "I've met the head."

"Have you met me?" Nan Chengshu seemed a little surprised, turned to Zhong Zhili and asked, "Is it about Li Mingyan that you brought him to see me?"

Zhong Zhili shook his head and said, "It's not about Li Mingyan, it's about Nan Wang's background."

Nan Chengshu was slightly surprised: "Birth experience?"

Luo Jiening watched quietly from the side, looked at Nan Chengshu, and then at Nan Wang, and found that the two people were really similar in some ways, and the expressions on their eyebrows were somewhat familiar.He couldn't help but secretly thought in his heart, this Nan Wang might become the head's son in the future, even higher than them.

Zhong Zhili said eloquently: "We met Nanwang in Yuzhou, he was Lan Mulin's apprentice. According to Lan Mulin's recollection, this child had no father or mother. But later, they met a family by chance. People, that family said that this child was born to the daughter of the family and a swordsman."

"Oh?"

Nan Chengshu listened with some interest, but when Zhong Zhili asked Nan Wang to take out the piece of jade, he paused.

Zhong Zhili handed the jade to his eyes, and said, "This jade was left to him by Nan Wang's mother, and he always wears it on his body."

From Luo Jiening's angle, he happened to be able to see the panic flashing in Nan Chengshu's eyes.Just for a moment.

Nan Chengshu raised his eyes to look at Nan Wang, and asked, "Is this your mother's?"

Nan Wang hid behind Zhong Zhili timidly, and said softly, "Yes."

Zhong Zhili asked: "Master, what do you think of this piece of jade?"

Nan Chengshu turned to look at Zhong Zhili, and said sonorously, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhong Zhili got permission, and then said: "The family once said that Nan Wang's father was a famous swordsman at that time, and now he is even more famous."

Nan Chengshu squinted his eyes, looked at Zhong Zhili, and said with a teasing tone, "You don't think this child is mine, do you?"
