Chapter 127 Gong Qing: "What exactly is it?!"
Chapter 127 Gong Qing: "What exactly is it?!"
Just as Jiang Bailan and the Old Celestial Master reached a deal, the Quanxing sect was causing increasingly trouble on Longhu Mountain.
In a small courtyard of the Celestial Master's Mansion, Rong Shan, who had been assigned there by the Old Celestial Master, was meticulously guarding Tian Jinzhong's side.
Listening to the sounds coming from outside, the atmosphere inside the room became somewhat heavy.
Neither Tian Jinzhong nor Rong Shan expected that these Quanxing demons would dare to attack Longhu Mountain... They really don't take their Celestial Master's Mansion seriously!
Hearing the explosions and shouts not far away, Rong Shan wanted to go out and kill these Quanxing demons with his own hands several times, but after looking at Tian Jinzhong behind him, he suppressed the impulse in his heart.
Just then, Gong Qing, standing outside the door, felt that the time was almost up and it was time to reap the rewards of victory.
She pinched her thigh hard twice, then, displaying the peak acting skills she displayed when facing Jiang Bailan, rushed into the house with snot and tears streaming down her face.
"Master Jinzhong, something terrible has happened! The Quanxing heretics have already stormed the gates of the Celestial Master's Mansion!"
Perhaps feeling that the situation was not critical enough, Gong Qing disregarded the facts and began to fabricate stories in an attempt to send Rong Shan away.
He lay on the ground, continuing to speak with heartbreaking grief: "Not only have my fellow disciples from the Celestial Master's Mansion suffered heavy casualties, but even Senior Lu Jin and Grand Master are locked in a fierce battle..."
"Too many people from Quanxing have come..."
"Besides, the Grand Tutor is getting old. What if... what if..."
Gong Qing choked up and didn't continue, but Rong Shan and Tian Jinzhong could understand the meaning behind it. Coupled with the tense situation outside, they had no choice but to believe it.
Seeing this, Tian Jinzhong immediately asked Rong Shan to help the old Celestial Master and his fellow disciples.
Hearing Tian Jinzhong's words, Rong Shan really wanted to go, but he hesitated for a moment because he remembered his master's instructions.
"Go!"
"My place is so remote, no one will come here!"
What are you still hesitating for!
Faced with repeated shouts and hearing the increasingly loud commotion outside, Rong Shan could no longer contain his anger. He instructed Gong Qing and another young Taoist to take good care of Tian Jinzhong before hurriedly leaving.
As soon as Rong Shan left, Gong Qing slapped Xiao Qingzi, who was standing next to him, unconscious. Then he cupped his hands and bowed, saying, "Gong Qing, acting leader of Quanxing, greets Elder Tian."
"Xiaoyuzi, you..."
Even after Gong Qing introduced himself, Tian Jinzhong still looked incredulous. He couldn't believe that the young Taoist who had taken care of him for three years was actually the acting leader of Quanxing.
However, what Gong Qing said next made it impossible for Tian Jinzhong not to believe him.
"Old Tian, I have waited three long years for this day. I only hope that you can tell me the inside story of the Jia Shen Rebellion."
Seeing the changing expression on the other person's face, Gong Qing revealed a smug and excited look. He knew that his three years of hiding had not been in vain. His guess was correct. Tian Jinzhong really knew the inside story of the Jia Shen Rebellion.
Thinking about the hardships he had endured over the past three years, Gong Qing felt a sense of relief, as if the clouds had parted and the moon was shining through.
"I do not know."
Faced with Tian Jinzhong's stubborn denial, Gong Qing was not in a hurry. Instead, he began to recount how, during his three years of hiding in Longhu Mountain, he had used some clues to confirm that the other party knew the inside story of the Jia Shen Rebellion.
When he got excited, Gong Qing unconsciously raised his voice.
"Three years!"
"Do you know how I got through these past three years?!"
"As the dignified acting leader of Quanxing, I not only have to serve others like a grandson, but I also have to eat spicy lollipops and even suffer unexpected humiliation from being forced into a fight."
"Is it easy for me?"
"I've had such a tough time!"
Thinking of this, Gong Qing suddenly felt a surge of sorrow.
But it was all worth it, because he succeeded and he will soon get the information he wanted!
No, I didn't say anything, why is Xiaoyu acting like a madwoman?
Is this guy really the acting leader of Quanxing?
"You've really had a tough time!"
Just as Gong Qing was feeling happy and excited, a voice suddenly rang out.
"That's right, Mr. Tian, you think so too, don't you!"
But soon, Gong Qing realized something was wrong, because Tian Jinzhong in front of him didn't open his mouth at all, so how could he speak?
Gong Qing: "Old Tian, when did you learn ventriloquism?"
Tian Jinzhong: "??? Xiaoyuzi, is it possible that I didn't say that?"
Gong Qing: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There are only the two of us in this room, there's absolutely no third party!"
Jiang Bailan: "Are you saying I'm not human?"
Appearing in the room from who-knows-where, Jiang Bailan bent down, placed one hand on Gong Qing's shoulder, and spoke the fiercest words in the gentlest tone.
Did Gong Qing not know that Jiang Bailan had arrived?
How could I not know!
He'll never forget that guy's voice, even if he's a ghost!
The problem is, why is this guy here? Can anyone tell me why he's here?
Gong Qing: I'm so desperate!
"Jiang Bailan, why do you insist on going against me? We don't seem to have any grudges between us, right?"
Gong Qing couldn't understand why the other party always seemed to be causing him trouble, even though there was no grudge between them and this guy was clearly a lazy bum.
Eating a lollipop gets you a big beating!
Make him pay for everything you buy!
Now they're going to sabotage their plans again!
I had already given up on targeting him, and I was about to succeed, so why did this happen?
Gong Qing felt an unbearable weight on his life!
He really wanted to know why.
At least, let him understand the reasons for his failure before he dies...
However, seeing Gong Qing's utter despair, Jiang Bailan nodded gently and said, "We really have no grudges against each other."
"Then why do you still oppose me?"
"Why do you think I'm going against you? I'm a special envoy of the company, and you're a member of the Quanxing Demon Clan. Isn't it only natural for me to sabotage your plans?"
Gong Qing: "Someone like you, you actually talk about justice and evil?"
Jiang Bailan: "Otherwise what? Or are you not satisfied with this answer? Then I can make up one that you'll be satisfied with?"
Gong Qing: "..."
Gong Qing didn't ask any more questions because he knew there was no point in asking further, but he didn't want to give up the truth he had finally obtained.
So he made a final attempt, saying to Jiang Bailan beside him, "Jiang Bailan, do you know about the Eight Extraordinary Techniques? This person possesses the secrets of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. Don't you want to know?"
"Eight Extraordinary Skills? You mean something like the Heavenly Talisman that doesn't exist?"
Tongtianlu: Not long ago you were saying it was the best talisman, and now you're saying it's useless. Ha, men's mouths...
Upon hearing Jiang Bailan's words, Gong Qing felt he was humiliating himself, so he slammed his head against the wall and knocked himself unconscious, wanting to avoid seeing the truth.
Horse riding!
Listen to yourself, is that even human language you're speaking?!
