Chapter 23 June 19
The 19th day of the sixth lunar month.
Suitable for burial.
Avoid traveling.
On this day, in the Zhenbao Pavilion in the capital.
This place was originally the location of the mysterious Tsing Yi Building in the capital city. However, after Lu Xiaofeng solved the Jinpeng Dynasty case, Huo Xiu, the boss of the Tsing Yi Building, died, and the place fell into the hands of others.
Although Tsing Yi Tower has lost its original fame and majesty, it is still a place with a rich history.
This place is now converted into a restaurant.
But today, there are not many idle guests here.
The people here, without exception, are all men of martial arts armed with swords.
There are a total of two floors in the small building, and there are one hundred and eighty people seated in it, all of whom are well-known figures in the world.
And in front of an Eight Immortals table on the second floor, there were several people who could shake up the world with just a finger.
These are the representatives sent by several famous sects in the world today.
There are Master Bitter Melon of Shaolin Temple, Elder Mu Taoist of Wudang Sect, Taoist Gu of Bashan Sword Sect, an elder of Qibao of Beggar Clan, Mrs. Tang of Tang Sect, and the world-famous Guanzhong heroes Shan Xiyan and Dian Cangjian.
The leader of the faction.
Only these people are qualified to sit on the second floor.
Although the people in the world on the first floor are all somewhat famous, they are not even the slightest bit inferior to those in these heavyweight categories.
But the fact that they can come here shows that they are already much stronger than most people.
Outside the Treasure Pavilion, there are hundreds of people from the world, but they are not even qualified to come in here.
Although they couldn't get in, they couldn't bear to be curious and watch the excitement, so they waited outside the building.
The embroidery theft case is likely to be solved today!
Almost half of the world's well-known experts have gathered here. For such a grand event, even if you can't enter and participate, just watching from the sidelines is something to be proud of and worth bragging about.
At this moment, the crowd outside Zhenbao Pavilion suddenly dispersed, making way for a path.
"It's Lu Xiaofeng, Huamanlou, Honest Monk and Sikong Zhaixing." Someone said.
Lu Xiaofeng bowed her hands to everyone with a calm expression, and then walked into the building.
Next to him, there was a gentle and jade-like young man. Although his face was handsome, it was obvious that his eyes were lifeless and he was blind.
Hua Manlou is a blind man.
Generally speaking, an invisible person will have a certain temperament of sadness and loneliness.
However, there is only tenderness and sunshine in Hua Manlou.
He is a person who always treats the world with kindness.
Hua Manlou seems to perfectly interpret that sentence.
The world kissed me with pain, but I responded with songs.
In Lu Xiaofeng's world, Hua Manlou's martial arts may not be the strongest, but his realm must be among those with the highest level.
Next up were Lao Shi Monk and Sikong Zhaixing. Everyone knew the relationship between these three people and Lu Xiaofeng, so they didn't feel too surprised when they appeared at the same time.
After Lu Xiaofeng and the other four entered, not long after, a group of police officers dressed as imperial officials arrived.
"He is the best catcher of Jin Jiuling in the world."
"By the way, this embroidery thief case is the case that the top master of the six sects entrusted to Lu Xiaofeng to investigate. The true identity of the embroidery thief is going to be revealed today. How could he not come in person?"
Jin Jiuling slightly arched his hands to the people outside the door, and then said to the men beside him: "You guys wait for me outside."
With that said, he walked towards the building.
People outside the arena consciously made way for him.
In the small building of Zhenbao Pavilion.
Following the arrival of Lu Xiaofeng and the other four, Jin Jiuling's arrival has raised the atmosphere here to the highest point.
Now in this small building, except for the Emei Sect, Ximen Chuixue, and Ye Gucheng, who have not sent anyone, almost 90% of the top forces in the world are here.
"Cousin, you're here too." After Jin Jiuling went up to the second floor, he immediately saw Master Balsam Pear with his eyes closed in his seat.
Master Kugua opened his eyes and nodded, then continued to chant sutras.
Jin Jiuling then looked at Lu Xiaofeng, his eyes moved slightly: "Brother Lu, you have indeed found out."
When Lu Xiaofeng heard this, her heart moved, then she touched her nose and said, "Brother Jin, you misunderstood. I did not invite everyone to this meeting today."
Jin Jiuling was suddenly a little surprised: "Apart from you, Lu Xiaofeng, who else can have such a big reputation to invite so many celebrities to attend the meeting? Even if the embroidery theft case shocked the world, it is expected that these martial arts sects will not all be so concerned.
Let’s take this case.”
Lu Xiaofeng said helplessly: "You can only ask people from the major sects."
Jin Jiuling looked at the senior martial arts figures in front of the Eight Immortals table on the second floor.
Both Wudang Elder Mu Taoist and his cousin Master Balsam Pear have a good relationship with him.
At this moment, seeing Jin Jiuling's gaze, Master Balsam Gua just sat upright and chanted sutras, seemingly speechless.
But Mu Taoist sighed: "The case of the embroidery thief was entrusted to Lu Xiaofeng by you in the Zen room of Shaolin Temple in front of us. With Lu Xiaofeng investigating, we can rest assured that we will not pay any more attention to this matter."
"But unexpectedly, seven days ago, someone sent a letter to various sects, inviting us to come to this Treasure Pavilion to gather together, to reveal the identity of the embroidery robber and kill the embroidery thief."
Jin Jiuling was a little surprised: "This man has such a great reputation, who is he?"
Mu Taoren was silent for a while and said: "Pindao believes that no one in the world has heard of his name at least more than a month ago, so he does not have the 'face' that makes everyone respect him."
"Then... why is this?"
Jin Jiuling is amazing. He doesn't have enough prestige, but he can invite half of the world here?
The Mu Taoist sighed, and then took out a piece of paper from his arms, with a smooth piece of wood on it.
"When the man sent the letter, he also included this wood chip. Finally, there was a message at the end of the letter. If you can't come as promised, don't blame him for visiting the various sects in person."
Jin Jiuling was shocked and looked at the piece of wood. It could make a master like Wudang Shaolin have to be under threat. What was so strange about this piece of wood?
Immediately, he saw the clue, it was a sword mark!
Be a swordsman!
What kind of swordsman can make even giant sects like Shaolin Wudang have to come?
Could it be Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng?
It seemed that he understood what Jin Jiuling was thinking.
Mu Taoren shook his head: "They are not the two people you thought of..."
"In addition to Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, there is someone who can threaten Shaolin Wudang and many other martial arts sects to participate in this meeting with just a sword mark! Who is this person!"
Jin Jiuling asked.
"You must have heard of his name in the past month..." Mu Taoren looked at Jin Jiuling and said.
Jin Jiuling instantly flashed a name in his mind.
Zhou Yi!
"Since this is the person who invited people from various sects to come, where is he now?" Jin Jiuling asked with a flash of his eyes.
"Already here."
Chapter completed!
