Chapter 1817 Don’t Trust Anyone
Xiao Yi got the Red Flame True Lotus as he wished. This was much smoother than he had imagined. Although he didn't "bleed", he still felt that this was a great favor.
"It seems like I've only owed people favors these past two days."
Xiao Yi muttered to himself and followed Pang Zhenglin back to the formation.
"Xiao Yi, then I won't keep you for now."
Pang Zhenglin said slowly.
"Okay, thank you, Master. Take care of yourself."
Xiao Yi bowed and thanked him again. He could also feel that Pang Zhenglin's condition did not seem to be so good.
"Ah."
Pang Zhenglin nodded. Just as he was about to go back, he stopped.
"Master, is there anything else?"
Xiao Yi saw something and asked.
"Although you are Boyuan's apprentice, you are an outsider in the matter of propaganda after all, so you will see it more clearly."
Pang Zhenglin spoke again.
“What I mean is, you don’t have to trust anyone except your master, even… the person who was with your master yesterday.
Anyway, when Wenxuan wakes up, tell me directly if you have any news, no need to go through anyone else, understand?"
"I see."
Xiao Yi nodded in response.
Looking at Pang Zhenglin again, he said nothing more and turned to enter the formation.
"Without the need for anyone else?"
Xiao Yi said to himself, could it be that this Pavilion Master Pang also has someone he suspects?
Could it be one of those Taoists who were with his master yesterday?
Then, he thought of what Wu Kun had warned his master yesterday, that he should tell the other party as soon as he had any news, because he was worried that Pang Zhenglin was not in good condition and could not bear some things.
Is there really something wrong here?
Wu Kun didn't seem to have any abnormalities, and the Purple Spirit Pill that Pang Zhenglin gave him had not been tampered with in any way. His master and several others had confirmed that there was indeed no problem with it.
"This……"
Xiao Yi became more and more confused.
As he was thinking, he returned to Taoist Wenxuan's room, but his master was not there. Instead, there was a Taoist he was familiar with, and two other disciples waiting for him.
He originally wanted to go directly to Taoist Boyuan, but after thinking it over, he decided to stay.
Afterwards, he checked on Taoist Wenxuan's condition, and it seemed that he had indeed improved a little.
"This person in the dark...isn't he in any hurry at all?"
Xiao Yi murmured in his heart.
On second thought, with such protection, the person in the dark probably wouldn't be able to do anything. However, it was impossible for him to really expose Taoist Wenxuan to danger in order to lure the other party out.
Therefore, there is no other way for now but to wait until Taoist Wenxuan wakes up completely.
As for acupuncture, it's not that he hasn't thought about it, but since Taoist Wenxuan has already taken the Purple Spirit Pill, he doesn't need to take any more risks and should just play it safe.
Before he could think about it, he suddenly noticed that the Taoist's expression had changed slightly.
Xiao Yi came back to his senses and quickly looked in the direction of the Taoist's gaze at the young disciple, who had already soaked a towel and came to the bedside.
He was about to reach out to wipe it when the Taoist priest stood behind him.
"Let me do it."
The Taoist took the towel as he spoke, and the disciple did not think much about it and stepped aside.
Xiao Yi watched from the side, feeling somewhat worried. He suddenly realized that just guarding like this would not ensure that nothing would go wrong.
In other words, if this happened in any other sect, he would definitely be able to keep an eye on it and find any problems immediately, but this is the Nine Star Pavilion, and there are too many ways to kill people secretly...
It was noon when Taoist Boyuan came back. He was a little surprised to learn that the Pavilion Master was so willing to give Xiao Yi the Red Flame True Lotus.
Soon, the Taoist and his two disciples all left.
"What else did he say to you, Pavilion Master?"
Taoist Boyuan asked.
"He said……"
Xiao Yi repeated Pang Zhenglin's last two sentences, but he still left out half of them.
According to Pang Zhenglin, he couldn't completely trust even the people around his master, but after thinking about it, he didn't say much to his master.
"It seems that the Pavilion Master also has doubts."
Taoist Boyuan frowned.
"So... could it be one of Wu Kun and the others?"
Xiao Yi asked doubtfully.
Taoist Boyuan seemed to be thinking about something and did not respond for a while.
"From now on, I'll stay until he wakes up."
After a while, Taoist Boyuan spoke again, his eyes falling on Taoist Wenxuan.
"Master, please...tell me more about him."
Xiao Yi thought of something and wanted to know more about Taoist Wenxuan.
"Well."
Taoist Boyuan nodded and started talking, including what he said with Taoist Wenxuan at the dinner table yesterday, which he also told Xiao Yi.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yi and Chu Zexuan, who had finished their training, returned to their residence together.
As soon as he sat down, several Taoists from outside followed him. They were the ones who followed Taoist Boyuan yesterday, and there were also several disciples of Taoist Wenxuan.
"My dear uncles and aunts."
Xiao Yi greeted them and was somewhat confused about the scene.
"Xiao Yi, we were all practicing last night, so we didn't come together until now."
A Taoist said slowly.
"We wanted to come and thank you."
Another Taoist explained, and everyone was about to kneel on the ground.
"Seniors, please don't do this. It's embarrassing for the younger generation."
Xiao Yi hurriedly helped several Taoists up, looking quite moved. The other disciples were already kneeling on the ground.
"Putting aside other things, you saved our lives, so we should kneel down and thank you."
A Taoist said seriously.
"You guys are too kind. We didn't do much. I just achieved my goal by making things worse, so you don't have to take it to heart."
Xiao Yi did not go into too much detail. After all, there were still several disciples of Taoist Wenxuan present, and they still did not know the truth.
"Mr. Xiao, Senior Sister Chu, thank you for saving our master."
Several disciples knelt on the ground and kowtowed, expressing their great gratitude.
"Okay, you all should get up too."
Xiao Yi glanced around, his expression somewhat complicated.
At present, he already had a relatively comprehensive understanding of Taoist Wenxuan. Especially after seeing this scene, it proved that he was quite qualified as a master.
Na Ruoyun noticed Xiao Yi's eyes and stepped forward to help them up. Even if Taoist Wenxuan was wrong, it didn't mean that these people were bad people.
"Xiao Yi, this is a small gift from us, you must accept it."
A Taoist handed a magic storage device to Xiao Yi.
"This……"
Xiao Yi wanted to refuse.
"Xiao Yi, keep it. It will also make us old guys feel better, hehe."
Several Taoists admired Xiao Yi from the bottom of their hearts.
"In that case, thank you all for your kindness."
Xiao Yi had no choice but to stop refusing.
Everyone chatted for a few more words and then dispersed.
"Sister..."
Xiao Yi looked at Chu Zexuan.
"I don't need it, and I can't use it."
Chu Zexuan shook her head, knowing what Xiao Yi wanted to say.
"Senior Sister, your aura..."
Na Ruoyun had already noticed something and her expression changed slightly.
"The ninth-rank martial saint... is right before our eyes!"
Chu Zexuan explained.
"I go?"
Xiao Yi was startled.
"If you have time now, you can help me protect the law."
Chu Zexuan said.
"I go!"
Xiao Yi said excitedly.
"Then aren't you worried that something might happen?"
"With Master and the others here, there won't be any delay. Right now, there is nothing more important than Senior Sister's breakthrough to the Ninth Rank Martial Saint!"
Chu Zexuan nodded, and the two of them went to the training area.
The two of them didn't know that Na Ruoyun in the room was feeling increasingly unwell...
