Qin Yi was somewhat dissatisfied with Mr. Zhou's attitude of coming and going as soon as he called. However, since his arms could not hold his thighs, Qin Yi decided to endure it.
If there is a conflict at this time, not to mention how powerful the old man is, the fierce tiger army guarding outside can chop Qin Yi and Lu Yu into pieces with one sword alone.
The two of them walked out of the yard with their own thoughts.
Mr. Zhou's eyes were deep and focused on the direction in which Qin and Yi were leaving.
After a long time, Mr. Zhou finally spoke: "Fairy Xu, what do you think of these two people?"
Mr. Zhou's attitude towards Xu Qing was obviously more polite and he would ask her opinion no matter what.
Although the Luofu Sect to which Fang Lei, who was sitting nearby, belonged, was the strongest force among the three sects, Mr. Zhou clearly admired Xu Qing more from his attitude and believed that Xu Qing's potential was much higher than that of Fang Lei.
When Mr. Zhou asked, Xu Qing smiled and said, "One is just ordinary, the other is really a very interesting guy."
Over the years, Xu Qing has long been accustomed to men's fiery and crazy eyes. But facing her, Qin Yi could be so calm. This surprised Xu Qing, and at the same time she also had a faint interest in Qin Yi.
While speaking, Xu Qing had already stood up, bowed slightly to Mr. Zhou, and said in a calm voice: "I'd like to trouble Mr. Zhou to worry about the next thing. This junior has something to do and needs to leave first."
When Mr. Zhou saw that Xu Qing was about to leave, he immediately stood up and said, "Fairy, this matter is of great importance. Fairy, why don't you wait for clues to appear before you make a fuss?"
This matter involved the interests of three major sects. Mr. Zhou understood the stakes. He retained Xu Qing because he wanted Xu Qing to be a witness, so that the three sects would not join forces to attack him in the future.
When Xu Qing heard this, he smiled and said: "Leave this matter to Mr. Zhou, I can rest assured. Even if no clues are found in this matter, the three sects will be responsible for it. Boss Zhou can rest assured!"
In Demon Spirit Island, Xu Qing and Gao Lin have found out that the initiator of this disaster is Ding Hao.
This time I returned to Yunlan Island to interrogate the trial target. I originally wanted to find a scapegoat to bear the wrath of the Luofu Sect and Jinghua Palace, so as to prevent the conflict between the two sects and the Holy Valley of the Abyss from increasing.
In the final analysis, it is also necessary to maintain a balance among the three sects.
In Xu Qing's view, this is undoubtedly an act of shirking responsibility and is not honorable.
So I don't have much interest in this matter. Sitting here, I also want to see if there is anything else involved.
Nowadays, the trials come and go, but nothing good can come out of them, so naturally they don't want to stay for a long time, which is a waste of time.
"Junior brother Fang Lei."
Xu Qing suddenly smiled brightly and greeted Fang Lei.
"I see you have no intention of being here, why don't you leave with me?"
Although Xu Qing did not deliberately observe Fang Lei, she had already discovered that Fang Lei was absent-minded. Now that she was leaving, she might as well find a reason for Fang Lei to let him go with her.
Fang Lei's mind was indeed not here. After the trial, their actions were no longer restricted. Thinking of his sister Fang Yun on Yunlan Island, Fang Lei couldn't wait to go there and meet her immediately.
But as soon as he landed on the island, he was regarded as the leader of the Luofu Sect and was invited here by Mr. Zhou.
Now that Xu Qing had opened his mouth to rescue him, Fang Lei certainly would not miss this opportunity. He quickly got up and said goodbye to Mr. Zhou, and left with Xu Qing.
Suddenly, only Mr. Zhou was left in the room, sitting there with a bitter look on his face, rubbing his forehead in embarrassment.
After a long time, he finally smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "It seems that this time, I am like the rat in the bellows, suffering from both sides. The attitude of these two people is resolute now, I am afraid that the Holy Valley of the Abyss will not let me go.
.”
Although Mr. Zhou has great power on Yunlan Island, his status in the Yunhai Empire is also not low. But facing behemoths like the three major sects, he also has no ability to compete.
During the sect power trial, the sect cannot interfere. However, every disciple in a major sect has a soul lamp.
The natal soul lamp can detect life and death. When a person is alive, the lamp remains, and when a person dies, the lamp breaks.
Not long ago, the soul lamps of the disciples of Luofu Sect and Jinghua Palace were extinguished one after another. This made both sects anxious, and they rushed to Yunlan Island to question Mr. Zhou.
But since they couldn't interfere, they didn't deliberately make things difficult. After all, casualties during the trial were normal.
However, a few days ago, the soul lamps of Ding Hao and Gao Lin were extinguished one after another.
The Shura Sect and the Holy Valley of the Abyss could no longer sit still. If the rules had not been set in advance, they would have terminated the trial long ago.
Although they did not stop the trial, the top leaders of the three sects have already left a message. If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, Mr. Zhou will be fully responsible for it!
Therefore, as soon as the trial was over, Mr. Zhou invited Xu Qing and Fang Lei to ask what happened.
This question made Mr. Zhou sweat again and again. Unexpectedly, the murderer turned out to be Ding Hao, the dead genius of the Holy Valley of the Abyss.
Not only these two people said this, but all the people who left the island brought rumors that Ding Hao led the disciples of the Holy Valley of the Abyss to massacre other sect disciples in the Demon Spirit Island, causing panic and resentment.
Most of the sects in the Yunhai Empire agreed with this truth. However, only Abyss Holy Valley categorically refused to accept it. As long as Abyss Holy Valley did not accept it, Mr. Zhou would also be in trouble.
So he thought of a way, in the name of catching the real murderer, to interrogate those trial targets who he had tricked into entering Demon Spirit Island.
Once they fail to explain clearly or what they say is wrong, they will be captured directly and punished as the mastermind.
Zhou Laoyuan planned to let Xu Qing and Fang Lei bear witness here, so that they could show their attitude towards settling their differences with the Holy Valley of the Abyss and not to care about it.
Facts have proved that Mr. Zhou thought too simplistically. He also underestimated Xu Qing's intelligence and adaptability, which caused his wishful thinking to fail.
If Xu Qing wants to leave, if Mr. Zhou forcefully stops him, he will offend the two Five Tripod forces, Luofu Dazong and Jinghua Palace.
Let them go, Abyss Holy Valley will not give up easily.
Moreover, Xu Qing's attitude has clearly told Mr. Zhou that they will not agree with just finding a scapegoat.
"Alas!" Mr. Zhou sighed and said with a wry smile on his face: "Right now, I can only hope that the Luofu Sect and Jinghua Palace will not be too aggressive."
The greater the losses Abyss Sacred Valley suffers, the more angry it will be towards the person directly responsible for it, Mr. Zhou!
Once the Sacred Valley of the Abyss suffers a big loss, not to mention Mr. Zhou, the entire Yunlan Island will suffer.
The development of the situation has risen to a level that is difficult for Mr. Zhou to deal with, but now, he is helpless.
As for the matter of interrogating the trial target, Mr. Zhou will not stop, hoping to find some clues and give an explanation to all parties.
In fact, Mr. Zhou was most suspicious of Qin Yi and Lu Yu. Especially Qin Yi, who even he couldn't see through. He was obviously not an economical person.
However, there is no evidence. The information jade slip seems to be recording information about the elixir, but it is actually intended for surveillance.
But the two jade slips were as clean as new, obviously they had shielded them from surveillance by some means.
No matter what methods they used, without evidence, it would be difficult for Mr. Zhou to touch them easily.
