CHAPTER FORTY-THREE See you again, King Gen.
Lu Yi and Jin Jian were still using the previous time to advertise how they caught He Lan Wuque. They spread the word that He Lan Wuque had already escaped due to their unfavorable guarding.
As such, a huge uproar was once again stirred up in the martial arts world. However, there were also some people who believed that Lu Yi had been harassed by countless challenges and harassment for the past few days, which was the reason why they had sent out such a message. Therefore, there were still many people who came forward to probe, and even tried to seize the opportunity from the shadows.
As the sun was setting, while Jin Jian and Lu Yi were on their way, they suddenly felt hunger. They stopped the carriage and went to a guesthouse to sleep.
The two discussed at the table what to do about the prison cart.
Jin Jian said, "Having a leg strength is better than the two of us walking. I see that in the future, you can sit in the car while I drive."
Lu Yi said, "What are you sitting on? That's a prison cart. I'm not sitting on it, it's bad luck."
Jin Jian said, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Lu Yi said, "The vehicles and the Water Dividing Beasts are all sold. The two of us will walk to the Jellyfish clan."
Jin Jian said, "How slow is that?"
Lu Yi said, "You just have to slow down."
Jin Jian said, "Why?"
Lu Yi blushed as she said, "Fool, have you ever seen a man and a woman walking together? They seem to think they're too slow."
Jin Jian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Lu Yi, we're going to do some proper business. It's related to Senior Ying's death and He Lan Wuque's innocence. How could you think of those things?"
Lu Yi took a bite of the dish and chewed on it, but didn't say anything.
Jin Jian said, "Why don't you drive?"
Lu Yi said, "No, I'm not." My arms are sore. "
Jin Jian said, "Then what do we do?"
Lu Yi said, "Let's sell our cars and ride on the same water splitting beast."
Jin Jian said, "That water dividing beast has already pulled a cart for so many days. Can it really carry two of us all at once?"
Lu Yi said, "What a fool."
Jin Jian said, "Let's use that car to exchange for a new water beast."
Thus, the two ordered the shop owner to sell the carriage, change the money, and buy a new water dividing beast. The two of them had dinner at the inn, rested for the night, and got up early the next morning to travel.
The two of them had the Water Dividing Beast and their speed was fast. In just a few days, they had already arrived at the Jellyfish clan's territory.
The two of them asked several restaurants, all of them were already full, because the Jellyfish clan was the most noble clan in Zhong Hai, the death of their Patriarch was even more important, they sent out obituaries, all of the families came to offer their condolences, and with the addition of Helian Wuque and the mayfly clan coming out again, the various clan leaders all wanted to use this opportunity to gather their thoughts, exchange views, and formulate a plan to deal with Helian Wuque and the Mayfly clan.
Therefore, all the clan leaders brought the proud juniors from their clan with them and rushed over to Young Master Ying Kong. Because the date was still too early, they couldn't enter the Jellyfish clan to disturb them, so they stayed outside in the tavern.
After searching for half a day, Jin Jian and Lu Yi finally found a place to stay in a dilapidated abandoned store. The room was small and dimly lit, but it costed a hundred dollars to stay one night. After the two of them paid, Jin Jian went to the various inn to check if his master had arrived. Lu Yi was also persuaded to go find her father.
Lu Yi asked, "What if we find it?"
Jin Jian said, "Then we don't need to live in this place anymore. The house is not good, and the money is also expensive."
Lu Yi said, "Then where should we live?"
Jin Jian said, "It's fine wherever you live."
Lu Yi turned her head and said, "How did you know your master would give you an empty seat?"
Jin Jian was stunned. "What you said was really a problem."
Lu Yi said, "Besides, what if my father doesn't allow me to follow you?"
Jin Jian said, "But I have to report this information to my master as soon as possible. Why don't we go find my master and ignore your father? "
Lu Yi glared at him. "What do you mean? Are you saying you're going to find your master, not my father?"
Jin Jian said, "Aren't you afraid that your father won't let us be together?"
Lu Yi said, "I can see that your Master is quite helpless as well!"
Jin Jian said, "That won't be the case. My master is very open-minded, and has always wanted our two races to be on good terms with each other. Since he dotes on me so much, he won't disagree."
Lu Yi turned around and looked at him. "Tell me, what if your master disagrees with us being together?"
Jin Jian said, "My master will not disagree."
Lu Yi said, "What I meant was' just in case '!"
Jin Jian said, "If it's a case, then let's wait until it's a case."
Lu Yi panicked, "What do you mean by just waiting for what happens?" "Jin Jian, what exactly do you think of our relationship?"
Jin Jian said, "How, how do you want me to choose?"
Lu Yi said, "For you, I won't listen to my father. Can't you fight back against your master for me?"
Jin Jian said, "But, I, I, my master …"
Lu Yi snorted, "You don't care about me at all!"
Jin Jian hurriedly said, "I, why would I not care about you? I …"
Jin Jian was anxious to express his thoughts, but he was momentarily at a loss for words. Lu Yi was sulking and the two of them were depressed, so they didn't say anything for the whole night.
The next day, Jin Jian woke up early and strolled aimlessly. While he was walking, a voice suddenly called out from behind him. "Little Scissor!"
Jin Jian was stunned. "Senior Sister?" She hastily turned her head to look, only to see Ying Ju skipping over.
Jin Jian said, "Senior Sister."
Ying Duoduo glanced over his body, and after confirming that he was fine, he looked into his eyes and said: "How are you, are you hurt?"
Jin Jian said, "No, why?"
Ji Ying sighed, and said: "Ever since the news of Uncle Ying's death reached the Arctic Icecap, my father and mother were always worried about you. Even Uncle Ying's powerful martial arts had met with misfortune, not to mention you. Oh by the way, you were with Uncle Ying the whole time, why are you so fine after Uncle Ying died? "What about Green Yi from the Strigoi race?"
Jin Jian suddenly remembered that it was more important to inform his master of what he had seen. He hurriedly asked, "Master, are all of them here?"
Ju Dao Ying nodded and said, "That's right!"
Jin Jian asked, "Where do they live?"
Ji Dao Ying said: "It's at the east side of the city inn, not far from here."
Jin Jian said, "I have something important to report to Master. Take me to see Master first."
Ji Dao Ying responded, then took Jin Jian to the east side inn, where they met Ji Dao Gen.
Seeing that Jin Jian was safe and sound, King Zigong was finally able to relax and asked about the details of the death of Young Master Ying Kong.
Jin Jian said that he wanted to invite his master to a secret room for a detailed discussion.
The death of Ying Kong and the fact that he was involved with He Lan Wuque was probably something that Jin Jian should not be able to hear from too many people.
Thinking up to this point, Jidong King looked left and right to see his wife, Dash's daughter, Ying Ji, with a few trusted disciples by her side. He then had Ying Ji lead a few disciples out to the dining hall for dinner, leaving Dash to listen to Jin Jian's report together with him.
From the moment he had met Lu Yi, Jin Jian had accidentally fallen into the extremely deep cold, to what he had seen and heard in the border town of Extreme Chuan Ice Plains, to the mayfly tribe that he had broken into, to the place where Ying Kong had sealed off the mayfly tribe with him and Lu Yi. If he didn't encounter an ambush, Ying Kong would have died a violent death. However, the matter of hugging and warming up with Lu Yi under the extremely deep cold and then gradually becoming more and more intimate with each other as they traveled together was something that was akin to glue and was avoided from being discussed.
However, it was enough for someone with a high cultivation like Extreme Dao King Gen to be shocked to the core. Upon hearing the news of the Cherry Blossom Young Master's death, he nodded his head repeatedly, "So that's how it is. At that time, He Lan Wuque appeared at the scene of the crime. That's why I gave him the chance to be framed."
However, Jin Jian said, "Master, I heard that you and Senior He Lan Wuque are close friends?"
"At that time, his relationship with Princess Zhu Yi was plotted against by the Bead Wasteland Clan's leader. Later on, there was a tragic case of the Bead Wasteland Clan, and because the wound was so similar to a cut from a blade, countless people suspected that it was actually Helian Wuya's doing. "However, I am well aware of He Lan Wuque's character. I believe that he will not do that, so I advised him to retreat until I find out the evidence to wash off his grievances. Then, I will come out again."
Jin Jian replied, "But then, all the races decided to seal the Mayfly race's remains from the Pearl clan. Since the Pearl clan ruins were sealed, the extermination of the Pearl clan could not be investigated. Therefore, Helan's wrongdoings were never clarified."
Jadesky King said, "That's right. "You said that for many days, Lu Yi has been with you?"
Jin Jian said, "That's right."
"Then, what about the rumors about Lu Yi catching He Lan Wuque a few days ago?" asked the Zenith King.
Jin Jian smiled embarrassedly, "That's … your disciple's plan."
The Gen King frowned, "Your plan?"
Jin Jian said, "That's right, when Senior Ying died, Lu Yi and I were present. We all knew that Senior Ying died because her internal organs were shattered by someone else with a high inner force, and this was not a cut that was rumoured to be made. Furthermore, He Lan Wuque has visited us many times before. Firstly, we wanted to find out who killed Senior Ying, and secondly, we wanted to help He Lan Wuque get away with it. Thus, we came up with this idea. "
Dishi smirked at the side and said, "You want to lure the real killer or Hailan to find you. The reason why you want to lure the killer to show himself is understandable."
Jin Jian said, "Because there aren't many people who know about He Lan Wuque's reappearance from the martial arts world. We need to lure He Lan Wuque out and ask him who he has met since his reappearance. Then, the problem can be easily solved."
Dishi said, "When Hailan went to find your master, did you suspect him of being the murderer?"
Jin Jian said, "Mistress, you are joking again. Does Mistress even know about the matter between Master and Houlan? "
Dishi Cha glanced at the Duke of Jidao and said, "Of course I know. If it wasn't for that He Lan Wuque back then, your current mistress would have been the Pearl Princess."
The Zenith Clan King hurriedly replied, "Ah, Madame has almost reached a thousand years ago. Why are you still talking about this?"
Daisy said, "Why, don't you dare mention it!"
Extreme Dao Gen said, "Hmph, I wonder if you're jealous of Hillen or the Pearl Princess."
Dishi Cha immediately blushed and said, "You, you dare to say that again."
Jin Jian felt that the plot was rather complicated and tried to shift the topic to the current case. He said, "But Helian Wuya said that there is someone else who knows about him coming out of the martial arts world."
"Who is it?"
Jin Jian said, "Jellyfish clan elder, Cherry Blossom."
Jagged Jellyfish? He has a very high prestige in Zhong Hai. Logically speaking, there should be no reason for him to help the mayfly tribe. "
Daisy said, "As the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover. If there is a suspicion, why would he give up on it upon seeing it? "
"But when doing something, especially when thinking, such a risky thing like killing Young Master Ying Kong, there has to be a reason for it, right? Ying Zhongxue was an elder of the jellyfish clan and the elder of the young master Ying Kong. Although the young master was the clan leader, he had a carefree personality and ignored the clan politics. Thus, he was naturally the grand patriarch. As the jellyfish clan elder, he is the most prestigious person in the entire Zhong Hai, so how could he have nothing better to do to help the mayfly clan? Back then when he was fighting the mayfly clan, he was the main general sealing the mayfly clan, so wouldn't he be making himself uncomfortable by letting out the mayfly clan? "
Daisy said, "You're right."
Jin Jian said, "What He Lan Wuque is thinking is that someone might have used some other method to find out about the news of his return."
Dishi said, "Didn't that Lu Yi know about the incident with Haeru as well? Could it be that she secretly sent the news to Old Lord Green Fin without telling you? "
Jin Jian said, "But all the way here, Lu Yi has never left my disciple's side. Furthermore, if Lu Yi had been on the mayfly side, as long as I let go of this disciple, I would've been dead for sure. How could I have come here to inform Master and Mistress about these matters?" Furthermore, on the way here, she has also put in a lot of effort to investigate Senior Ying's death. Furthermore, we have always been inseparable, so I believe that Lu Yi will definitely not be able to participate. "
Daisy nodded.
The Zenith Clan's king raised an eyebrow and said, "Inseparable?"
Dash also laughed and said, "I was wondering why Jian'er's words seemed to be off. So it was this sentence."
Jin Jian said embarrassedly, "This …"
"This is no joke. Jian, didn't I tell you before that the trouble of a man needs to be solved by a man himself? The meaning is that you must cut down the mess quickly and never bring trouble back home."
Dash also realized the seriousness of the situation. He looked at Jin Jian and said, "Tell Mistress, are you serious about that Lu Yi …"
Jin Jian looked at the two of them and said, "Master, Mistress, Lu Yi is not a problem. She said that she will go against her father's wishes for my sake. She really isn't too trouble."
Upon hearing this, Jidao Gen said, "This is bad!"
"What a bad fate!"
Jin Jian said, "Master, mistress, you don't have this kind of look in your eyes, do you? Neither Young Master Ying Kong nor Senior He Lan Wuque have this kind of look …"
"That's because they're on different sides from us, and they don't understand the situation!"
King Zigong stopped Dash and said to Jin Jian, "Jian, you go down first and think about this problem. "Give me some time and your mistress some time to digest the information you have provided."
Jin Jian promised and left.
Ji Duo Gen glanced at Dashi and said, "If I hadn't stopped you, would you have revealed the matter of Jian'er's poisoning?"
"I wasn't afraid that he would actually be together with that little girl," she said.
"Then we should think about it carefully. Since Jian'er's poisoning is already something that cannot be changed, forcing him to reject our feelings is the best choice. In the end, it's better that he dies. It's better that he has a happy and unrepentant marriage."
Dishi snorted and said, "Also, it's a happy and happy marriage. The Ice Origin Race and the Blood Family will never be blessed by others no matter where they go."
Prince Jidao looked at her and said, "Just look at you. That's all you know."
Dishi said, "What, do you think of Princess Pearl again, and think it's a loss to you if you marry me?"
"Look at you," said Judong. "Where are they?"
Dishi stood up and said, "If you want to think about it, then slowly think about it. I'm not here to be with you."
Prince Jidong said, "You women are great. Think when you see a problem and throw it to a man when you don't want to think. Sigh, I really regret being born a male!"
"The older you get, the more contemptible you become!" He turned around and walked out.
Outside, he saw Ying Ying supporting his head with one hand and sitting on the table, so he asked: "Ying Ying, where have your senior brothers gone?"
Ying Yang pursed his lips and said: "Everyone is surrounding Little Scissor and listening to the story."
Dishi Cha's heart trembled, and said: "Listen, Ying Qi, you should also watch your junior brother Jin Jian closely. If you really can't do it, lock him in his room, and don't let him out again."
Ying Qi asked, "Why?"
Daisy said: "Why else? If you don't look after him well, he will be the son-in-law of Strigoi!"
Ying Yang opened his mouth wide: "Ah!"
Dishi said, "Right, has Jian'er told you anything about your eldest senior brother?"
Ying Yang said, "No, he didn't report to you?"
"Maybe it's because they were harassed by the mayfly tribe and couldn't find it."
Ying Yang said, "Hmph, lock him up and interrogate him properly!"
Daisy smiled and went out.
Ying Boye rested his chin on his hand, and hatefully scolded Jin Jian in his heart: "That scoundrel!"
