Chapter 155 - Letter from the astrologer
The most important thing is, we've dragged this out for too long, and we can't help but consider if there are other eyes watching us around, which is why we have to leave quickly, and we absolutely can't start killing in that kind of uncertain situation. Don't feel that it's very troublesome to think about it, if we can avoid real trouble, then thinking about it more isn't considered as trouble at all. Ling Xiao glanced at Xiao Feng, and explained seriously.
"Sect Master Ling, you really think too much. If it was me, I definitely wouldn't have thought of these things." After Xiao Feng finished listening to him, he shook his head repeatedly. He felt admiration, but at the same time, felt helpless, thinking about how compared to Ling Xiao, he was much older, yet there was a huge gap in terms of experience between him and his.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao smiled: "Eldest Brother has been in the Jianghu for many years, if it's some small trick, it's definitely not a problem, it's just that right now we're facing an enemy that doesn't leave any traces, so it's not too much to think about it, it can only be said that Eldest Brother is still too naive."
Xiao Feng was helpless. One had to know that in his current state, even the horses were led by Ling Xiao, otherwise, he would be courting death if he were to ride a horse in his current state. He could not even stop to rest even if he wanted to.
However, because of this, the speed at which Ling Xiao and Yue Yang rushed back to Beggar Gangs became much slower, and they took twice as long to reach there.
Seeing Xiao Feng's hands wrapped in white gauze, the Beggar Gangs disciples who had come to lead their horses seemed to be extremely panicked. They had even thought that something serious had happened.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao immediately waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's just some small accidents, don't let me hear any gossip about you, if not, you'll be the first one to ask."
"Yes!" Sect Master Ling! " When the Beggar Gangs disciple heard this, she was scared out of her wits. She nodded her head in practice, and all her curiosity vanished in an instant.
After waiting for the Beggar Gangs disciple to lead the horse away, Ling Xiao glanced at Xiao Feng's hand and said: "For this period of time, you should just obediently stay in Beggar Gangs.
Xiao Feng knew that in his current state, he could only participate in the meetings of some gangs, and he couldn't even meet with representatives of other forces, much less fight or scare them, because this image was too terrible.
"Alright, I understand. I will take medicine and change them on time to recuperate. I will strive to recover as soon as possible." Xiao Feng looked at Ling Xiao and said seriously.
"Mm, then that's it for now. Let's go." Ling Xiao nodded, then turned and left.
"Oh right, Sect Master Ling, how do you explain Ah Zhu's situation, Miss Ah Zi and the others do not know yet." Xiao Feng suddenly asked.
After Ling Xiao heard this, he was silent for a moment before saying: "I will take care of this matter. You should first adjust yourself to the best of your abilities."
After that, Ling Xiao participated in a few urgent and serious meetings, and after taking care of the clan's backlog of matters, he went to Ah Zi's room, wanting to tell them about Ah Zhu.
Because Ah Zhu and Ah Zi had been relying on each other for so many years, Ling Xiao still had to consider carefully how to break the news to Ah Zi. If he were to go straight to the point, Ah Zi's fragile heart would not be able to handle it.
But when Ling Xiao arrived at Ah Zi's residence, he only saw the Beggar Gangs disciples who were previously sent to monitor them.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao's face immediately became unsightly. If nothing happened, then this person should be hiding in the shadows and monitoring them.
"What happened?" Ling Xiao asked with a cold face.
He did not dare look straight into her eyes, and said with a trembling voice: "Sect Master Ling, this subordinate is useless, but Miss Ah Zi deliberately tried to slip away, but Madam Ruan did not move from her original residence. I did not know who to pay attention to, so Miss Ah Zi found an opening."
After Ling Xiao heard this, he said angrily: "Could it be that I am not clear about what you have said? Take care of Miss Ah Zi, don't let Madam Ruan take her away. Your job is to look after Miss Ah Zi alone, who asked you to look after Madam Ruan? "
In regards to Ling Xiao's reprimand, that Beggar Gangs disciple naturally did not dare to retort in any way, and at the same time, lowered his head and trembled.
"Sect Master Ling, this subordinate knows his wrongs. I will definitely think of a way to bring Miss Ah Zi back." The Beggar Gangs disciple hoped to make up for her mistake.
Ling Xiao rubbed his head, then said: "If you can find it, then there is something wrong, following my orders, all the disciples of the information department who have not accepted missions, gather and let them all go find Miss Ah Zi, if there is any news, inform me immediately."
"Yes!" Sect Master Ling. " The Beggar Gangs disciple hurriedly replied.
Following that, Ling Xiao went over to Ruan Xingzhu's residence and forcefully opened the door. There was a loud clanging sound as Ruan Xingzhu, who was in the room, screamed out.
"Madam Ruan, do you know that Miss Ah Zi has disappeared?" Ling Xiao walked into the house, looked at the terrified Ruan Xingzhu, and said coldly.
Ling Xiao did not have a good impression of Ruan Xingzhu, but because they were Ah Zi's own mother, on account of Miss Ah Zi's face, they could barely tolerate Ruan Xingzhu coming to the Beggar Gangs. But now that such a thing had happened, Miss Ah Zi did not know where she was nor whether she was dead or alive, even with her temper, she felt that Ruan Xingzhu had gone too far.
"Sect Master Ling, I, I don't know, is Ah Zi gone?" Ruan Xingzhu trembled as he held onto the chair, forcing himself to stand up, and said.
"Looks like you know about this matter, I really don't understand what's going on in your mind. If something were to happen to Miss Ah Zi this time, I would definitely not let you off so easily." Ling Xiao said coldly.
Sensing Ruan Xingzhu's attitude, Ling Xiao knew that she did not care where Ah Zi had actually gone to, nor did he even care what she had done for his.
In the face of Ruan Xingzhu's face, Ling Xiao was beyond furious, how could she continue to stay?
However, when Ling Xiao returned to his room, a spy immediately came to report. Ling Xiao hoped that it was news about Ah Zi.
"Say it quickly, no need to be so courteous." Ling Xiao waved his hand at the scout who was about to greet him.
Hearing that, the spy cupped his fists and said: "Yes, back to Sect Master Ling, it was astrologer who delivered a letter filled with urgency, on the way here he met our people, and said that he must pass it to Sect Master Ling to have a look, it was about a girl called Ah Zi, and he hurriedly sent it back."
