Junior Disciple C

Feng Ye had left, but Hao Chen hadn't.

Although it was an excuse for him to tell Feng Ye that he still had something to do, it was only after he left that he realized that something was really up to him.

Hao Chen came to a lake in the back mountain. The lake is not big, but because of the strong aura of the place, the surface of the lake is quite clear.

There are also a few docile herbivorous low-level monsters drinking water with their necks down by the lake.

Hao Chen looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he suddenly opened his fan, and with a slight swing to his side, an invisible barrier opened around him.

This enchantment can isolate spiritual energy and sound, so Hao Chen continued to move with confidence. He tapped the lake surface with the handle of the fan.

The center of the calm lake seemed to be tapped by something invisible, and the ripples spread outward from that point, circle after circle.

And as the ripples spread outward, there was also a frighteningly powerful and cold aura.

Because of the sudden drop in temperature, a little bit of frost climbed up the grass and trees by the river.

The herbivorous monsters drinking water by the lake raised their heads in horror. They didn't know why, but this did not prevent them from realizing the strength of the monster in front of them. They immediately ran away from the lake like crazy.

Hao Chen didn't care about the group of low-level monsters, he waited quietly, and within a few breaths, the circles of ripples on the lake returned to calm.

But the lake is no longer clear water, but the phantom of a palace.

The palace is not an ordinary human palace, but more similar to the dragon palace in the legend of gods and monsters.The decorations in this palace are full of expensive pearls and corals, the smallest pearls are as big as a fist, they are priceless treasures in the world, but they are placed here very casually.

And judging from the shoals of shrimps, crabs and fish walking through the video, the palace was probably built underwater, even if it wasn't the Dragon Palace, it was better than the Dragon Palace.

A hunchbacked old man in a long robe slowly came to the center of the image, and then slowly saluted Hao Chen who was on the other side of the lake.

This set of movements was like pressing the slow play button. Hao Chen watched the old man move inch by inch, and he really didn't have the patience to wait for the other party to perform a complete set of etiquette.

He directly raised his fan and signaled: "Prime Minister Gui, you don't need to be polite."

The prime minister tortoise, which is standard in Dragon Palace, stopped moving.

That guy Feng Ye is probably still not far away. Although Hao Chen feels that his enchantment is very solid, he doesn't want to take any risks. The sooner this conversation ends, the better.

So he went straight to the point and said, "What can I do to contact you?"

Prime Minister Gui thought for a while and said, "My lord, we have counted all the warehouses this month, and finally found out that the thief stole..."

Prime Minister Gui moved slowly, but his speech was not slow, but at this moment, he slowed down again for no reason, revealing hesitation...or disbelief.

Hao Chen frowned, and said impatiently, "What did you steal?"

Prime Minister Gui then gave the unbelievable answer: "A drop of water."

Surprise appeared on Hao Chen's face, and he repeated: "A drop of water?"

That thief came all the way from the human world to Beiming, leaving so many rare and precious treasures behind him, only stole a drop of water?

"A drop of water from the abyss of the extreme north, the most cloudy and cold water." Prime Minister Gui added: "Bei Ming is too dark and cold, especially the abyss of the extreme north, and humans cannot set foot in it. He caught a hundred-year-old cultivator." The octopus spirit helped him do this."

If the octopus spirit didn't take the initiative to confess afterwards, they wouldn't even know that someone had stolen something as small as a drop of water.

Their one-month investigation was mainly to confirm whether the thief really only stole that drop of water, and so far, it was indeed the case.

It's just that this is even more unbelievable. Let's not talk about how difficult it is to come to Beiming from the human world. Let's talk about Beiming's extremely unsuitable environment for human survival. The thief will die at any time under the cold air of Beiming risks of.

He risked so much and only stole a drop of water, what was he trying to do?

Hao Chen was also unbelievable. He had lived for so long, but it was the first time he encountered such a strange thing.

He pressed the fan handle against his chin, trying to sort out the matter from the beginning.

It all started more than a month ago, Hao Chen was floating quietly on the sea like most of the time, or fell asleep.

I turned over when I was tired from sleeping, so that I could evenly bask in the thin sunlight of the North Sea.

Unexpectedly, the always quiet Beihai suddenly became noisy, a large number of fish were dispatched, and shrimps and crabs lined up neatly to march.

Hao Chen tried to ignore it, and continued to sleep on his own way, but he couldn't ignore such a big movement after all, with a trace of anger for being woken up, he swung his tail and knocked over a row of shrimp soldiers swimming past him.

It doesn't matter if you get up angry or flick your tail, but you can't stand it, he is too big, such a big black fish like a small island flicks its tail, directly setting off a hundred-meter-high waves,

Beihai was silent for a brief moment, and then became more noisy.

Because, the real master of Beihai finally woke up.

After venting his anger, Hao Chen sat in the hall and listened to Prime Minister Gui's brief account of the cause and effect of the sudden riot in Beihai.

An octopus spirit came to the hall to report that humans had come here to steal, and forced it to do some petty theft. While talking, he wiped his tears with his broken tentacles.

If it weren't for its special race, and its severed limbs would not be fatal, it would have been directly silenced by the ruthless thief.

Is this still great? !

In this place of Beihai, how can a human being be so rampant? !

Although Hao Chen hadn't woken up at the time, Prime Minister Gui also made a decisive decision and ordered all troops to be dispatched to search for the thieves.

Unexpectedly, the noise of the search was so loud that it woke Hao Chen up.

Now that Hao Chen is awake, it is of course up to him to decide what to do next.

Hao Chen sat on his coral throne, propped his chin and thought for a while, and felt that staying in Beihai all the time was really boring, otherwise he wouldn't have been sleeping all the time.

Anyway, he is already awake, so why not use the excuse of catching a thief and take the opportunity to wander around the world.

Prime Minister Gui didn't find the thief in such a big battle. There is only one possibility, the thief has fled back to the world.

So Hao Chen came to the world just over a month ago.

For the convenience of doing things, he resorted to some tricks to obtain the identity of Tiangong Pavilion disciple, and because of some unspeakable reasons, Feng Ye called it stinky, and Hao Chen insisted on using his original appearance, even if it might make him He reveals his identity.

No one has ever seen the thief. The only thing that has been seen is an octopus. However, the octopus thinks that all human beings look exactly the same, so its description does not have much reference value. The only clue it gives is that the left side of the thief's face It has wrinkled skin like a sea eggplant.

The translation is that the thief was injured on the left side of his face, leaving a scar, which looks obvious.But in fact, it is useless. Appearance is the easiest thing to disguise. Besides, although the human world is not as vast as the heavens, it is not small. With such a feature, where can I find it?

But Hao Chen has other tracking methods. Since the thief has been to Beiming, he must be exposed to the unique coldness of Beiming, which cannot be eliminated in a short time.

He chased after the cold all the way, with an extremely dishonest attitude.

He said he was here to catch a thief, but Hao Chen came to hang out for more significance. No matter what the thief stole, he didn't feel too sorry for him. He was rich in Beihai, and he was a real rich man. The main purpose of this trip was to find some fun.

Moreover, he accidentally passed by the scene of a murder and treasure hunt, and saw a corpse that he didn't care about at the time.

He just chased him passively for more than a month, following the thief's course of action all the way, and finally came to Lingxiao Sword Sect.

This was the place where the cold air finally disappeared. Only then did Hao Chen realize that he had slackened his work for too long, and the cold air that had dragged onto the thief was completely gone.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, he didn't care too much about catching thieves at first, so he made up a very careless excuse with the mentality of looking for it casually, and planned to sneak into the Lingxiao Sword Sect to find out if there was one. Clues left by thieves.

Unexpectedly, she met Feng Ye.

Hao Chen suspected at first that this was the thief, but later he found out that it was wrong, the time was wrong.

For a month, that thief didn't know what he was doing, wandering around in the world, he was very busy, and left footprints in many places. Hao Chen regarded him as his tour guide in the world, and followed the thief's footsteps all the way for sightseeing.

And Feng Ye has been staying at Lingxiao Sword Sect for a month. Although his identity is questionable, he should not be the thief.

But this didn't affect Hao Chen's interest in Feng Ye. It was rare for him to meet such an interesting person in his tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, he very irresponsibly put aside the matter of catching the thief, and instead entangled Feng Ye, vowing to take off the other party's vest.

However, Feng Ye impersonated him a month ago, and similarly, the thief went to the North Pirates to get a drop of water more than a month ago, and they also came to the Lingxiao Sword Sect. Are these two things not related at all?

not necessarily.

This timing is too coincidental, and the location is too coincidental. If there are too many coincidences, it is inevitable.

Therefore, based on emotion and reason, Hao Chen found an excuse for himself to stay.

Hao Chen was sorting out his thoughts and didn't speak for a while.

Gui Cheng waited for a moment, and couldn't help but ask about the matter he cared about: "My lord, the thief...has he been caught?"

Compared to Hao Chen, the real owner of Beihai who was extremely irresponsible and felt that the matter of catching the thief was irrelevant, Prime Minister Gui had a great sense of collective honor. He was very angry with this daring thief and vowed to arrest him.

Hao Chen's hand holding the fan couldn't help but paused. The thief... lost him because he was traveling all the way.

However, as a creature that can survive in the North Sea, the first condition is thick skin. Without thick skin and fat layer, it is impossible to maintain body temperature in the sub-zero environment of Beiming.

Therefore, Hao Chen's face was extraordinarily thick, and Feng Ye had a great say in this matter.

Hao Chen said to Prime Minister Gui without changing his expression: "The thief is too cunning, I lost him."

Prime Minister Gui was shocked when he heard the words: "Even you..."

Hao Chen nodded solemnly.

Prime Minister Turtle panicked: "Who the hell is he? You are already the top powerhouse in the world, who can escape your pursuit?"

"It's broken." Prime Minister Gui's thinking was very divergent, and he instantly made up a series of terrifying ideas: "Could it be that Yinglong from the South China Sea? I have long heard that he is cruel and warlike, and has the ambition to dominate the world. Several sea masters are worried that he will come to our North Sea..."

"Prime Minister Turtle." Hao Chen couldn't help interrupting Prime Minister Turtle's outrageous guess that the thief was just an ordinary human being with a multi-infant cultivation.He didn't catch up because he dawdled, not because the opponent was too strong.

But if Hao Chen wanted to explain and not expose the previous lie, he would have to tell another lie.It seems that human beings are right, telling a lie requires countless lies to cover up.

But it doesn't matter, he is the boss, he doesn't need to explain to his subordinates.

Hao Chen just frowned, Prime Minister Gui did not dare to speak anymore.

Hao Chen was about to end the conversation, but before he ended, he suddenly asked, "Is there anyone named Feng Ye in the heavens?"

He sleeps most of the time, and the stranger to the heavens is not much better than the world.

Prime Minister Gui, who has been helping him with government affairs, has a lot of knowledge. After thinking for a while, Prime Minister Gui replied: "Among the famous gods, there seems to be no one with this name. But what I know is only our Beihai side or There are areas that come and go nearby, but it’s too far away, and I don’t know if there is a god with this name.”

"Go and check, and contact me when you find the result." Hao Chen ordered.

"No." Gui Cheng said in response, and bowed at the same time.

Another slow motion.

Hao Chen didn't wait for Prime Minister Gui to finish his ceremony, he waved his fan and ended the call.

As the surface of the lake returned to normal, the enchantment he set up around it also dissipated at the same time.

Hao Chen closed his fan, stood where he was thinking for a while, and decided to go down the mountain to find Feng Ye.

The heaven is too big, thousands of times vaster than this world, Prime Minister Gui probably will take a long time to find this name.

What Hao Chen likes the most is time. Unlike human beings with a short lifespan, his sleep is the change of several generations in the world.

But at this moment, he was too curious about Feng Ye's identity. For tens of thousands of years, there were very few people who could arouse his interest.

So Hao Chen couldn't wait for Prime Minister Gui to search slowly, and he himself wanted to find clues from Feng Ye.

Furthermore, there is an [-]% chance that Feng Ye's name is fake, Prime Minister Gui may not be able to find out the result, so he has to be prepared.

Thinking this way, Hao Chen slowly walked down the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, he ran into Feng Ye who should have left long ago.

Hao Chen: "..."

Feng Ye: "..."

This meeting was caught off guard, and neither side was prepared.

After a while, Hao Chen asked, "Friend Feng Ye... why are you here?" Didn't you go down the mountain a long time ago?

Feng Ye recognized the questioning in Hao Chen's words, he was speechless for a moment, and then said vaguely: "I... went the wrong way, and I took a detour before getting off."

After answering, he asked back, "Why is fellow Taoist Hao Chen here?"

It was Hao Chen's turn to be speechless, he paused for a moment, and then said imitatively: "I also went on the wrong road, so I made a detour."

"Haha, what a coincidence." Feng Ye laughed dryly, not going into the matter of Hao Chen plagiarizing himself again.

"Yes, what a coincidence, my fate with fellow Taoist Feng Ye is really destined." Hao Chen also smirked.

Then the two talked about this topic tacitly, and walked side by side on the way back, feeling uneasy all the way, thinking that what they did would not be discovered by the other party, right?

Shouldn't be... right?
