Chapter 1602: The news spread
A few days later, when they came to a town, as soon as they sat down in a restaurant, they heard the people in the restaurant talking about the Pill Sun Sect.
“Did you hear? The Pill Sun Sect’s sect master is dead.” A man whispered while eating shelled peanuts.
Several men at the same table were surprised. “He’s dead? Really? When did it happen? Why didn’t we know about it? ”
“It just spread yesterday. It’s said that the sect master of the Pill Sun Sect was missing from his main peak. He was found at the back mountain cliff. Some people said that he slipped and fell to death, while others said that he was killed secretly. In short, there are many things that happened recently in the Pill Sun Sect.”
“Isn’t the Pill Sun Sect in chaos then? If the sect master is dead, the people below will be thrown into disorder, right? I didn’t hear that some time ago. Who did they provoke? A peak master also died? Now that even the sect master is dead, the Pill Sun Sect is really unlucky this year!”
“It’s strange. It’s said that this matter was suppressed by the people above the Pill Sun Sect. It seems that they are going to stop investigating.”
“There are some secrets regarding this matter for sure. Otherwise, how could a sect master suddenly fall to his death? But since their sect is not going to investigate, there must be someone who can’t be offended. ”
“It’s truly a pity. That sect master was said to be a Saint ranked alchemist in pill refining, yet he died in this way. It’s really unexpected.”
While eating, Feng Jiu listened to the conversation of several people at the table over there. She was baffled. That Pill Sun Sect’s sect master fell to his death? It’s not in that pointless way, was it? No matter what, this sounded fishy. What’s more, he fell to his death at this time?
She looked at Xuanyuan Mo Ze who was eating leisurely and asked, “Do you know what’s going on?”
From his calm look, she had a hunch that he knew something.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze responded, “If I guess correctly, it should be done by your big brother.” Then he helped her to some food and motioned to her, “Eat quickly.”
“My big brother?” She was stunned. Didn’t her brother say he had business to attend to? How come…
“Mm, it should be him. He knew that those men in black were sent by that man to assassinate you. When he saw me by your side, knowing that you’ll be safe with me, he went and did it.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze put his chopsticks down and sipped some wine. He didn’t expect Guan Xilin’s action to be lightning quick.
It’s a great skill to sneak into the Pill Sun Sect from outside and assassinate the sect master without alerting others.
“He’s really reckless!” She frowned, her eyes full of worry.
“Don’t worry! He’s fine, and he’s gone to your mother.”
Feng Jiu was relieved to hear this. While eating the meal, she was thinking to meet them without delay.
Seeing her worry, Xuanyuan Mo Ze told her, “We’ll start on our journey after a rest. There’s nothing to delay us on the road. We can get there in a few days.”
Feng Jiu nodded, knowing that even in a hurry, she couldn’t get home for a while. After finishing the meal, it was already late in the day, so they stayed in the town and prepared to go on the road early tomorrow morning.
That night, Xuanyuan Mo Ze saw that there seemed to be a worry in Feng Jiu’s glabella and asked, “What’s the matter? Do you have something on your mind? ”
“Mm-hmm. I was thinking about what Old Man Tianji has said. Tell me, what do you think he meant?”
