HPDBC 266. Chapter 266 Warning!
266. Chapter 266 Warning!
"Miss, that disciple servant doesn't seem like a good person!"
Leaving the book depository, Xi Liu furrowed her brows and whispered to herself:
"He has been deliberately trying to shift the suspicion of the attempted assassination of Second Master onto Wu Kai, as if he wants to use someone else's hand to commit murder!"
Tang Ziyan turned her head and glanced at the maid.
The meaning was self-evident.
Even a young maid like you can see the problem, do you think I, Miss, can't see it?
"A person who doesn't act for their own sake deserves to be condemned by heaven and earth."
"As Wu Xuan's former competitor, of course he would worry about being targeted by Wu Kai."
"After all, even my second uncle was silently assassinated by Wu Kai. It's only natural for a lowly disciple servant like him to be frightened."
"Now, because of me, Wu Kai is hiding in Autumn Maple Residence and doesn't dare to come out. He doesn't have the time to deal with or eliminate this little servant Liu Zimo."
"But what about the future?"
"A person without foresight will have immediate worries! I can only say that this little servant is somewhat clever, to think of using me to eliminate the threat!"
"Tsk tsk, I'm starting to appreciate him a bit. Now it seems that he can be recognized by the senior bookkeeper is not without reason!"
"Let's go, accompany me to Autumn Maple Residence. I want to confront Wu Kai face to face!"
Saying that, Tang Ziyan directly flew up and headed towards the direction of Autumn Maple Residence.
This matter has been dragging on for too long, she doesn't want to continue delaying endlessly like this.
As the chief true disciple of Qingyun Peak, she doesn't need to do any specific investigation or evidence gathering. As long as she has doubts in her heart, she has the qualifications and ability to confront Wu Kai face to face.
In fact, if it weren't for Wu Kai being too cunning and hiding in Autumn Maple Residence since leaving the Law Enforcement Hall, Tang Ziyan could have made Wu Kai die silently like Tang Dahai!
By then, there would be no need for questioning, a soul search would reveal everything.
"Miss! Miss!"
"Autumn Maple Residence is Elder Ji's residence, we can't be so reckless..."
While shouting loudly through voice transmission, Xi Liu hurriedly flew after her.
Seeing Miss's impulsive behavior, Xi Liu increasingly felt that this Liu Zimo had ill intentions.
Look, he has caused their Miss to become like this!
Originally, Miss didn't plan to directly cause trouble for Wu Kai at Autumn Maple Residence!
Now, it's become a direct confrontation with Elder Ji of Cui Zhu Peak, who knows how big of a storm it will cause!
"Where is Wu Kai? Come out and face death!"
After a moment, outside Autumn Maple Residence.
Tang Ziyan's voice was like thunder, resounding throughout Cui Zhu Peak.
Liu Zimo, who was reading in the book depository, naturally heard it clearly.
He put down the book in his hand and looked up towards the inner gate area halfway up the mountain, shaking his head and sighing:
"This girl, she's really brave, daring to forcefully intrude even into an elder's residence!"
"Truly worthy of being the chief true disciple of Qingyun Peak!"
"But on the other hand, Tang Ziyan is also at the Gold Core stage. If they really fight, Wu Kai's master might not necessarily be her opponent!"
After sighing twice, Liu Zimo withdrew his gaze and continued to read the book in his hand.
He knew that no matter how Tang Ziyin made a scene, it was destined to have no result, let alone a fight.
This is Cuizhu Peak. Whether it's the peak master or other true transmission elders, they will not sit idly by and let Tang Ziyin act recklessly on Cuizhu Peak.
Therefore, this conflict will soon come to an end.
And indeed, that was the case.
After Tang Ziyin let out that roar, her voice immediately fell silent, and for the next ten minutes, there was no further commotion.
Snap!
Liu Zimo closed the book "Little Thousand Worlds Ascension Record" in his hand.
He slowly stood up, putting the books back on the shelf, and then took another book called "Immortal Realm Jiuzhou Chronicles" to continue reading.
This is a book that records the geographical overview of the Transcendent realm and the distribution of immortal sects. Liu Zimo found it fascinating and quickly became immersed in it.
Soon.
The sun was setting, and it was time to get off work.
The bookkeepers had already started clearing people out, expelling all the disciples who were still lingering in the book depository.
Liu Zimo also wisely put down the book in his hand and began to tidy up the books and arrange the tables and chairs, doing the work that a menial disciple should do.
Just as he finished organizing and shelving the last book, his body suddenly shook, and a familiar prompt sounded in his ears:
[Your good sister Tang Ziyin has encountered an opportunity and entered a state of enlightenment. Her cultivation has soared, breaking through to the Gold Core Third Realm!
Triggering the 'Heaven Thief' innate talent, sharing half of the increase in cultivation, cultivation +50, spiritual awareness +30, soul origin +50, sea of consciousness space +500.]
Tang Ziyin actually made a breakthrough!
Was it because she was too stimulated on Cuizhu Peak during the day?
Truly worthy of being an unrivaled genius who can lock the light for a zhang, she can have a breakthrough with just a little stimulation!
Liu Zimo was pleasantly surprised by this unexpected turn of events.
The faster Tang Ziyin's cultivation progressed, the more benefits he could also gain from it.
A boost of fifty years of cultivation in the Immortal Dao, directly pushing his cultivation realm to the peak of Core Formation.
At this rate of development, it might only take a few days for him to break through and become a Gold Core expert.
Liu Zimo bent down, placing the messy tables and chairs in the book depository while silently operating his techniques, refining the sudden increase in his cultivation.
After a moment, all the tables and chairs were neatly arranged. Liu Zimo bowed to the void of the book depository, bidding farewell to the bookkeepers.
Then, he stood up and left the book depository, step by step, heading towards the menial disciples' hall in the back mountain.
"Is it Liu Zimo, Junior Brother Liu?"
Just as he stepped out of the courtyard gate of the book depository, Liu Zimo was stopped by a young man dressed in the attire of an inner disciple.
"Inner disciple Chu Suiyun, greetings to Junior Brother Liu!"
"The Elder has requested your presence. Please accompany me for a visit, Junior Brother Liu!"
Liu Zimo stopped his footsteps, inwardly knowing that the trouble he had been expecting had finally arrived.
He knew that the news of Tang Ziyin coming to the book depository to find him could not be concealed at all.
Moreover, Tang Ziyin went directly to Autumn Maple Residence to cause trouble after leaving the book depository.
As long as one wasn't a fool, it would be easy to associate the problem with him.
Now, trouble had come!
The elder mentioned by this inner disciple, apart from Ji Changming, there wouldn't be anyone else.
The fact that the other party could endure until he finished work in the book depository before coming to find trouble with him was already giving face to the bookkeeper.
"Thank you, Senior Chu, for showing the way!"
Liu Zimo didn't refuse, nor could he refuse.
Although Chu Suiyun appeared extremely polite, he couldn't hide the disdain and contempt in his eyes.
Liu Zimo had no doubt that if he showed the slightest unwillingness, the other party would immediately change his attitude and give him a punishment for refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!
Even though he had the Book Depository Gold Token on him, he was still just a miscellaneous disciple.
The other party might not dare to kill him at will, but if he violated the sect rules or offended the senior disciples, he would still inevitably be punished!
There was no other way, he could only follow Chu Suiyun slowly towards the inner sect area halfway up the mountain.
Because it was already evening, there were mostly miscellaneous disciples who were getting off work like him along the way, and there were hardly any outer or inner sect disciples to be seen.
Those miscellaneous disciples who were going down the mountain cast curious glances at Liu Zimo, who was going against the flow.
However, none of them dared to come up and greet or inquire, intimidated by Chu Suiyun, who was walking in front of them in his inner sect attire.
Liu Zimo remained silent and obediently followed behind Chu Suiyun.
Occasionally, he would look up and glance at the two-foot-long earth-yellow lock shadow above Chu Suiyun's head, with no desire to bind it.
However, he had great expectations for Ji Changming, the elder he was about to meet.
The other party was also a Gold Core realm elder, so his talent must not be far behind.
Moreover, it was said that Ji Changming had accepted several inner sect disciples with good aptitude. If he was lucky, he might be able to bind a few more.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased.
In front of a quiet courtyard filled with green bamboo, Chu Suiyun stopped his figure, turned his head to look at Liu Zimo, and said in a low voice:
"Wait here, I'll go in and report!"
Liu Zimo nodded respectfully and obediently stayed in place, watching Chu Suiyun enter the courtyard and disappear in the blink of an eye.
Swish!
At the same time Chu Suiyun entered the courtyard, Liu Zimo sensed at least three spiritual senses quietly scanning him.
Liu Zimo's expression remained unchanged, but he reached out his right hand and took down the Book Depository Gold Token that had been hanging around his waist, playing with it absentmindedly.
After seeing this Book Depository Gold Token, those three spiritual senses rapidly contracted as if they had touched a red-hot branding iron.
Seeing this, Liu Zimo felt slightly relieved.
There was no doubt that the token given by the bookkeeper was quite effective. Even if it was just a miscellaneous disciple token, it was enough to ensure his safety.
"Master, can't we just directly kill this useless trash?"
Inside Autumn Maple Residence, Wu Kai, whose face was swollen like a toad, spoke up and asked Ji Changming:
"Disciple encountered this disaster today, all because of this useless miscellaneous disciple spreading rumors. Disciple wishes to immediately crush him into pieces!"
Ji Changming glanced lightly at Wu Kai and shook his head slowly.
"If he were just an ordinary miscellaneous disciple, even if you directly slapped him to death, there wouldn't be any problem."
"But the problem now is that this Liu Zimo is not an ordinary miscellaneous disciple!"
Speaking up to this point, Ji Changming couldn't help but look up in the direction of the peak, and continued:
"First of all, he is Liu Yun's half-brother. Liu Yun is not only a true disciple, but also the direct disciple of the peak master. In name, she even has to call me senior uncle, so I can't ignore her face."
"You still don't know, in less than a month's time, Liu Yun, that girl, has already broken through to the peak of Foundation Building in the Water Spirit Secret Realm, only one step away from Core Formation!"
"Based on her cultivation progress, she is another Tang Ziyun, a true genius. Even as an inner sect elder like me, I have to give her some credit!"
Speaking of Tang Ziyun, Wu Kai couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his face.
During the day, the other party actually came directly to his door and slapped him three times in front of his master, without any mercy.
Such humiliation, Wu Kai would probably never forget in his lifetime.
What made him even more unbelievable was that his master had clearly tried to intervene, but failed to stop it!
This was the first time he had witnessed the power of the chief disciple.
Now, Liu Yun has also shown talent in cultivation that is not inferior to Tang Ziyun. Being valued by the peak master and the master is not surprising at all.
"Furthermore," Ji Changming spoke again, "this Liu Zimo has also gained the favor and recognition of the guardian of the library!"
"Just as you saw just now, the token he holds is the genuine golden token of the library, which can only be awarded by the guardian!"
"As for the origin of the guardian, you are not qualified to know with your current identity. You just need to know that he is a senior who even the head of Qingyun Sect must pay respects to as a junior!"
"In this situation, tell me, can you easily kill this Liu Zimo?"
"If you really make a move, Liu Zimo will undoubtedly die, but you, and even I, are afraid we will be implicated!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Kai's mind trembled slightly, and he quickly lowered his head to show that he would not dare to involve his benefactor.
Now, he relied entirely on the protection of his master to stay alive. If he offended even his master, what would killing Liu Zimo accomplish?
It's not worth it to sacrifice himself for a worthless mortal servant. He has already offended Tang Ziyun and is in danger himself.
If he offends the peak master's direct disciple and the even more powerful guardian because of a servant, then he will have no way out.
"Master." Wu Kai asked with some confusion, "Since this servant is so special, we can't kill him or punish him, why did you specifically bring him to Autumn Maple Residence?"
"Wrong!" Ji Changming said calmly, "No matter how special his identity is, he is just a servant disciple who cannot cultivate!"
"Even if we can't kill him or punish him, necessary warnings are still needed."
"Otherwise, if we let him spread rumors and cause trouble without any restraint, it won't just be Tang Ziyun who will come to trouble you next time!"
Obviously, even Ji Changming believed that Tang Ziyun's impulsive visit and slapping Wu Kai three times today must have something to do with Liu Zimo's nonsense.
"It's been long enough. Yun, go and bring him in!" Ji Changming instructed Chu Suiyun, who was standing at the door.
"Yes, Elder!" Chu Suiyun bowed and then turned to leave.
A moment later, Liu Zimo followed Chu Suiyun and walked slowly into the main hall of Autumn Maple Residence.
As soon as he entered, he saw three locks of different colors shining brightly in the hall.
Golden lock, water lock, wood lock!
The radiance emitted by each lock exceeded three feet!
Especially the middle-aged cultivator standing in the middle, the golden light on his head reached a distance of five feet!
Without any hesitation, Liu Zimo directly activated his divine sense and locked onto these three lock shadows! (End of this chapter)
