Chapter 172: Jianghu Dispute, the Chief is Not Obedient 16
For Leng Nuan, she still likes the simple and rough, force-first style of the Holy Moon Sect. She played with the palm-sized reddish-brown "Holy Moon Order" in her hand, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise when she thought of the scene that day.
"This is the holy token of my sect. Seeing the token is like seeing the leader." After listening to Leng Nuan's general plan, Qin Shuangjiang directly gave Leng Nuan a token and went to the forbidden area in the back mountain to recuperate. In addition, she also specifically ordered her left and right guardians to help her, and she didn't seem to worry at all whether this person had ulterior motives.
"How can the leader trust Leng Nuan so much?" Lan Fengping asked her companions as she walked to report to Leng Nuan after finishing her work today. Even if Leng Nuan had saved their leader several times, she shouldn't have done it to this extent, right?
Xingzhou corrected him sternly while holding a long tray piled with files: "You should call her the deputy leader."
Lan Fengping turned her head and secretly licked her lips in dissatisfaction. It wasn't that she had any prejudice against that person, but Leng Nuan was not the same kind of person as them after all. Could she really trust her? After a little hesitation, she decided to put aside this unusual situation for the time being. Oh, forget it. The leader must have her own plan. Besides, as long as the person is in their hands, they are not afraid of anything she can do.
Noticing that the person next to him had changed her worried look, Xing Zhou glanced at her and said, "You can worry about anything, but you don't have to worry about the deputy leader hurting the leader."
"How did you know that?" Lan Fengping looked at him in surprise. Oh, this cold plate can actually read people's expressions? !
"I knew it." He was too dumb to explain, but he knew it. Anyone could hurt the leader, except this person.
"Hey, Xingzhou, please slow down. Do you know something? Tell me about it!"
The wide desk was filled with piles of files like mountains, and the newly added low tables on the left and right sides were gradually filled with thick account books.
In addition to the defense deployment map and elite forces of the sect, everything from the historical data to the information of the disciples was brought out without reservation. Even though they had confirmed these things with their own leader, the two guardians of the Holy Moon Sect took a deep breath in their hearts. Only Xingzhou was busying around respectfully.
"Deputy Leader, do you need anything else?" Xingle thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
"That's enough, thank you." Leng Nuan looked up from the file, smiled at him and thanked him, then buried her head in the things in her hands, as if she was immersed in something.
"Then we will take our leave first." Xingle and Lan Fengping looked at each other and bowed to take their leave.
"Is this really okay?" Lan Fengping frowned and couldn't help but worry.
"Alas," Lian Xingle couldn't help but sigh this time. "Let's take it one step at a time. The leader is not a person without sense of propriety."
"This is the only way." Lan Fengping looked back at the Star Pavilion behind her as she walked, with a complicated expression.
"Greetings to the two protectors." Xing Lan and the other man, who were about to return to their respective homes, were stopped by their subordinates who came rushing over.
"what's up?"
The subordinate who was half-kneeling on the ground and clasping his fists quickly responded: "Miss Xu is outside the door asking to see you."
"What is she doing here at this time?" Xingle was a little surprised. According to the deputy leader's instructions, no one would know that their leader was already quietly retreating in the sect.
"Please ask her to go back first." Now is a time of trouble, Lan Fengping thought it was better to have less trouble than more. "By the way, remember to secretly send someone to escort her back." Recalling their investigation, this young lady had defended her own leader that day, and just for this reason, they had to take good care of her safety.
"I obey my orders."
"Wait..." Xingle, who had been thinking for a while, called out to his subordinate who had already walked two or three steps away.
That day, Li Youan came back with a distraught look on her face and said that after Qin Shuangjiang fell off the cliff, she didn't believe a single word of it.
"It's so severe, nothing will happen. Maybe, maybe she has already come back." Xu Qingluo looked at the towering stone door in front of her anxiously, repeating it over and over again in her heart as if to convince herself. Until she saw the huge stone door being moved away little by little, the tears in her eyes fell along with the stone door opening.
"Frost!" Xu Qingluo followed the guards to a courtyard she had never been to, feeling uneasy. At this moment, she didn't care about these details. When she saw the white figure facing the window in the room, she excitedly quickened her pace and rushed over. However, when she was about to raise her hand to hug the other person, the person reached out and put his hand on her shoulder to stop her action.
"Why is it you!" After seeing who was in the room, Xu Qingluo was horrified.
Oh no~ It's that unlucky kid. Leng Nuan just reacted reflexively, but now he can see clearly this reckless person.
"You, you, you, why are you here!" Xu Qingluo took several steps back cautiously. It is impossible for anyone to not be on guard when seeing someone who once appeared in front of you suddenly disappear.
"Why did you suddenly disappear that day?" Xu Qingluo, who had completely forgotten what he was doing here, huddled behind the pillar of the room, and asked with only a little fear and curiosity. The deliberately loud voice seemed to be cheering him up.
"No, you remembered it wrong." Leng Nuan looked at her and answered seriously.
"what?"
"I jumped out of the window and left, I didn't disappear."
"No, that's not right. I just blinked and you disappeared..." Xu Qingluo was stunned by Leng Nuan's decisive tone. She continued to argue with a little bit of lack of confidence.
"No, you remembered it wrongly. When you turned around to open the door, I jumped out of the window." Leng Nuan walked a few steps towards her, looked at her straight with his bright eyes and said again.
"Is that so?" She looked at the other person's dark eyes, which were full of determination. The thoughts in her heart wavered even more. Xu Qingluo lowered her head and began to recall that day. She wanted to ask Leng Nuan if she had told them about her, and she said no. So after getting the answer, did she turn around and open the door?
"That's right. How can a person suddenly disappear? This isn't a ghost story."
"You're right." Xu Qingluo nodded, agreeing with Leng Nuan's explanation. "Then why were you in such a hurry to leave that day?"
Thinking about how he had been scared by this incident for so long, Xu Qingluo pouted and complained quietly: "It's great that you are good at Qinggong, but are you as scary as you~"
"Sorry." Seeing that the other party no longer doubted the matter, Leng Nuan changed the subject and said gently: "Miss Xu, I have a business that I want to discuss with you. Why don't you sit down and learn more about it first?"
Eh? Talking about business! What business? No, isn't she here to see Shuangjiang? Xu Qingluo couldn't help but shudder as he looked at the harmless person opposite him.
I wonder if it’s too late for her to leave now?
