Chapter 497 Let's Go Back
"Qian'er, put down the sword!" he shouted urgently, pulling her behind him.
Jiang Liqian refused, no matter how much Chongdao tried to pull her, she wouldn't budge an inch.
Qingzhi raised his hand, stopping Zhongdao.
For some reason, Qingzhi did not blame Jiang Liqian, but instead said to Zhongdao, "Senior brother, you talk to her. I'll wait for you at Linglong Pavilion."
After saying that, his figure turned into light and disappeared.
Jiang Liqian bit her lower lip, coldly sheathed her sword, and then turned around and knelt down in front of Zhongdao with a "thump".
“Master, I went to the dungeon to look for my second senior brother. He said he was wronged and told me to come to you and stop you from leaving no matter what. I don’t know what you are going to do, Master. If I can help you, I will do my best even if it means dying for you.”
Chongdao felt both gratified and saddened.
He was also glad that Wen Nian was thinking of his junior sister and didn't want her to be in danger, so he didn't tell her the real reason. Otherwise, if he were to leave today, this foolish disciple would probably threaten to kill herself.
"Silly child, don't kneel down all the time. The ground is cold. Get up quickly." Chongdao stepped forward, wanting to help her up.
Jiang Liqian refused to move.
Chongdao sighed and told her, "The Golden Scale Key has been stolen, and the Demon Clan is stirring. Your master must work with the sect leader to protect the world. I was just about to go to him to discuss this when you came here. Qian'er, you're not a child anymore. Don't be willful, okay? Get up quickly, your master is leaving."
Jiang Liqian was stunned for a moment, then looked up in shock: "Golden Scale Key, Lianlian..."
Chongdao nodded solemnly: "We are currently investigating who the thief is. Your second senior brother had been near the Forbidden Tower, so he is temporarily detained. However, I believe in him, and the Discipline Hall will clear his name. He will be fine."
After saying that, Chongdao went to help her up again. This time, Jiang Liqian did not refuse and stood up with some doubt.
Her brain was buzzing.
Lianlian is gone!
So, is the stone's hesitation not that of the second senior brother, nor the master, but that of Lianlian?
who is it?
Who dares to touch her in the heavily guarded Forbidden Tower?
The cold light in Jiang Liqian's eyes gradually darkened.
She's going to find this person and tear him to pieces!
Chongdao bent down and patted the dust off Jiang Liqian's knees, saying earnestly, "You're not a child anymore. Don't be so reckless in the future. Go back to Zhenfeng first. I'll come back to see you after I've finished discussing things with the sect leader."
Jiang Li nodded slightly, put away her sword, and planned to go to the Forbidden Tower to look for clues.
She took several steps forward, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
She couldn't help but turn back to look at her master.
Under the sunlight, Chongdao wore a long, embroidered robe, a jade seal cinched at his waist, and a jade crown on his head. His sleeves were embroidered with floating clouds, and his jade pendants jingled. His gauze robe fluttered in the breeze. On his handsome, flawless face, a pair of deep eyes were as vast as the ocean.
A virtuous person is like jade, as fine as a gui or a zhang.
This was a master that Jiang Liqian had never seen before.
But she had heard of the "Number One Beauty Array in the World" in her previous life. The array cultivator was her master, and so were the beauties.
Therefore, when she sensed that familiar aura, she recognized him without hesitation as her master.
Seeing her turn around, Chongdao smiled kindly and waved his sleeve forward: "Go back."
Jiang Liqian bowed her head and said, "Master, I will assist the Discipline Hall in releasing Second Senior Brother."
Chongdao nodded.
Jiang Liqian bowed again, threw out a small boat, and quickly headed towards the Discipline Hall.
This was the last time she saw her master.
A day later, the sect leader summoned Jiang Liqian, Si Chuan, and Luo Qing, who had returned to Zhenfeng, to Linglong Pavilion. He informed them that True Person Chongdao needed to carry out a secret mission and would not be back for a while. He would temporarily take charge of Zhenfeng. If they had any difficulties, they could come to him. As for daily matters, Senior Brother Si Chuan would handle them.
Jiang Liqian was restless the whole time, especially after hearing that her master would not be returning to the peak for the time being. When she was sitting on her third senior sister's sword to return to the peak, she almost fell off in a daze, but her third senior sister was quick-witted and grabbed her.
"Little junior sister?"
Si Chuan looked over with concern: "Are you too tired? Is your body unable to take it?"
Jiang Liqian shook her head.
She just felt anxious, but she didn't know why she was anxious.
Senior Brother Ji has already told her that Second Senior Brother is doing well in the dungeon. As long as evidence is found as soon as possible to prove that the theft of the Golden Scale Key has nothing to do with him, he will be released immediately. Second Senior Brother is fine for the time being.
However, no one is allowed to approach the Forbidden Tower yet, so she plans to sneak in at night to check if there are any clues about the theft.
Everything was proceeding smoothly, so why did she suddenly feel flustered for no reason?
Could it be that she was just too tired and overwhelmed with worries?
"Junior Sister, are you thinking about Second Senior Brother?" After arriving at the peak and setting her down, Luo Qing'an asked.
Jiang Li nodded slightly, then shook her head hesitantly.
Si Chuan patted her shoulders twice and winked, saying, "You just want to sneak into the Forbidden Tower tonight, but you're afraid of being discovered, right? Leave it to your senior brother, me!"
"Senior Brother, how did you know me..."
Si Chuan tapped the table and laughed, "Don't I know you? Junior Sister."
Luo Qing'an, who was sitting next to her, suddenly said, "I'll go with you tonight."
Without a second thought, Jiang Liqian refused: "No, entering the Forbidden Tower without permission will result in being taken back to the Discipline Hall for punishment."
"It's alright, it's alright, I'll go with you too. After all, it's my second junior brother's business, I can't just sit idly by! Don't worry, with the eldest senior brother there, I guarantee no one will find out." Si Chuan gave Jiang Li a flirty wink and immediately went back to get his "treasure".
Jiang Liqian's mood improved considerably after being interrupted by her senior brother, and she subconsciously ignored the unease in her heart.
Since the eldest brother had already made his decision, they could just share the blame. So they discussed with the third sister the timing of their infiltration into the Forbidden Tower.
Since returning to report on the hiding place of the demons in Beizhou, Luo Qing'an has been forced to heal her wounds in her own courtyard and undergo a comprehensive examination to ensure that she has not been infected by demonic energy and has not suffered any serious injuries. She has not seen Fu Wennian yet.
"Second Senior Brother is alright. Although he's in a dungeon, it's different from other dungeons. Aside from not being able to come out freely, he's just recuperating in a different place. Senior Brothers from Dan Peak are taking care of him. Second Senior Brother's injuries are quite severe, and he definitely needs to rest." Jiang Liqian told Third Senior Sister everything she had seen when she went to look for Second Senior Brother.
She then pointed to the array in her third senior sister's room: "An identical healing array. Once we find the evidence, my second senior brother should be almost fully recovered."
Hearing her say that, Luo Qing'an felt a little relieved. Then she remembered something else and said to her, "Junior Sister, it's very dangerous outside right now. If you can contact Junior Brother, please tell him to come back to the sect as soon as possible and not leave the sect for a while."
