Chapter 112

Nangong Lie shivered as goose bumps covered his body. He coughed softly a few times. "Recently, there were a lot of people within the clan who defected. Their subordinates had subsequently been confused. Even though it's unlikely they'll go as far as to brazenly throw their life away in front of you, yet they are still watching you to see what in the world your situation is right now, and wait for an opportunity to make a move."

Baili Jia Jue calmly listened and didn't speak at all. As his long sleeves were floating, the side of his body seemed like it gave rise to a faintly discernible kind of overlapping image.

However, Nangong Lie seemed as if he'd seen something he shouldn't have seen. His pair of eyes opened wide as he moved backwards step by step in large strides...

"You..." It was clear and easy to see that Nangong Lie was stunned. His gaze slowly moved away from the overlapping image. After that, it rested on Baili Jia Jue's face. "Last night, the fire qilin did not come on its own accord. You summoned it?"

Baili Jia Jue faintly 'mm hm'd once, his fingertips propped up his forehead, and remained unmoving, yet his bearing was as graceful as a lord.

As Nangong Lie smiled, a devilishness was birthed. "You obviously disliked implicating other people the most, yet because of a girl, even the fire qilin was summoned back. Ah Jue, don't tell me that you only consider her to be your prey."

"And if not, then what?" Baili Jia Jue lifted his eyes, his voice cold. "You want to take out that same divining the future act to trick somebody again? Oh yeah, that Movement of the Red Phoenix Star and what not?"

Nangong Lie saw the unspoken expression in his eyes, smiled leisurely, and changed the subject. "I'm only worried about you playing too much and forgetting all about serious business. Since the fire qilin has returned, then isn't all of the qi in your body returning soon?"

Baili Jia Jue didn't pay attention to his topic of discussion, and only moved his left hand slightly. The long sleeves floated in the air in an extraordinary and gorgeous manner as the barrier disappeared. Eunuch Sun stood outside the palace hall, his face staring vacantly.

Baili Jia Jue swept a quick glance at him, a pair of eyes floating up then sinking down. "Invite Grandmaster Zi Zun over."

Huh? "Zi Zun, that old head is also here?" Nangong Lie turned around and muttered softly. "Hasn't he been busying himself with the martial qi competition that's coming up not long from now?" Reportedly, when anyone approached him, he would throw the words 'this old one is not available!' at them. Why would he show up now inside the palace?

This kind of question was just floating in Nangong Lie's mind as he was turning around, when he faced the sight of Grandmaster Zi Zun tied up like a roll of trussed meat roast.

"Haha, hahaha!" Nangong Lie was first stunned, then laughed loudly after that. He laughed so hard his tears almost flowed, one hand was pointing at Grandmaster Zi Zun, while the other hand encircled his own belly. "Old head, this, at which point did your body get taken advantage of. Aren't these clothes of yours....haha, also ripped just too characteristically, you know?"

The corners of Zi Zun's mouth twitched as he fiercely and coldly humphed!

Baili Jia Jue only seemed as if he hadn't seen this scene, as he politely and gracefully instructed Shadow by his side. "Unbind Grandmaster Zi Zun."

"Yes." Shadow respectfully lowered his head.

Zi Zun glared at them. It wasn't easy for him to regain his freedom and was just about to launch a tirade.

When Baili Jia Jue opened his mouth again. "Right now, my head hurts terribly. The imperial physician had just made a determination. I can't listen to loud noise."

After hearing this, Eunuch Sun nearly died from choking on his own saliva. When did the imperial physician ever visited Ghost Palace. Master, even if you tell lies, it should be based on at least some facts, goodness!

Baili Jia Jue's complexion didn't change color as he turned the ornamental jade ring on his finger. "If I hear too much noise, my temper will become very bad, very very bad. Therefore, Grandmaster had best first think clearly before speaking."

His voice was very bland, yet carried a sense of ice-coldness.

Zi Zun thought to himself, this d*mned guy was obviously threatening him, humph!

But dear mother, his scalp still felt numb! "There's nothing good for me to say." Zi Zun tossed his face and with a righteous attitude, continued. "I still only have that one sentence to say. I am not going to tell you my dear disciple's whereabouts."

Baili Jia Jue curved his thin lips into a smile that was not a smile. After that, he stood up from his seat neither urgently nor slowly and strolled to face Zi Zun. He patted Zi Zun's shoulders as if he was praising him. "How come I didn't discover previously that you had such a moral backbone."

"Humph, there are plenty of things you haven't discovered." Zi Zun coldly 'harrumphed' once again. "What? You've changed your mind now and want me to become your master? I'm telling you, there's already no such possibility. My current disciple is very good. I don't need you, understand? !"

At the same time, the old Eunuch Sun turned his body around as he perspired a burst of cold sweat. This Grandmaster Zi Zun was really courting death, sigh.

Because he couldn't see, Baili Jia Jue's gaze didn't even move in the slightest, and only stared at him, as the corners of his mouth curved with exceptionally dazzling charm. "I also don't need you. However, I've said just a moment ago that I don't want to hear any noisiness. Ah Lie."

"Here." Nangong Lie's body staggered and placed his hand on Zi Zun's shoulder while smiling wickedly. "Come, old head, let's have a discussion."

Grandmaster Zi Zun's eyes stared fiercely. "Lie young fellow, you dare! You dare to treat me...hey, uh, mm, z, zz, zzz∼"

No matter how ferociously Grandmaster Zi Zun tossed from side to side, he was still unable to resist the capital's number one priest's hypnotism technique.

Nangong Lie's pair of hands raised a crystal ball between the two of them and parted the very dense white fog. As his eyes shined, he looked up, turned towards Baili Jia Jue, and looked over. "Helian Wei Wei went to the armament convention..."

"Armament convention." Baili Jia Jue pondered as he repeated the two words. Within the depths of his eyes, the temperature seemed to have become colder little by little.

Yet Nangong Lie didn't become aware of it at all, as he haphazardly straightened his body and stepped back. "Did you know, that guy who is ranked as the second most handsome man within the capital, is the son of the armament convention's chairman. The armament convention this time is different from the previous ones. Previously, the armament convention merely evaluated whether someone have or didn't have the qualifications to become an armament master. This year, the Liancheng prestigious family's descendant, Wu Shuang, has made an extraordinary armament. This armament used the world's best materials, yet on account of its exterior appearance and functionality, it could only be used by females. That's why right now, all of those daughters from distinguished families within the entire capital are wishing that they can use some kind of opportunity to approach and connect with this Jing Wu Shuang. But what's interesting is that, that person is just like you. He's never taken the initiative to get in touch with anyone. Even the minister's invitations have all been beautifully and nicely rejected. This year's armament convention should be absolutely marvelous."

Boom!

Following Nangong Lie's words, a loud noise burst forth as the teacup in Baili Jia Jue's hand thoroughly broke into powdery bits. He very slowly opened his hand as those remnants fell bit by bit from his palm and dropped onto the floor.

All at once, the atmosphere within the main hall became extremely cold.

Even Nangong Lie had trouble understanding. Why was it that after Ah Jue found out that girl's whereabouts, he instead seemed to be...angry?

How could he have known that as soon as Baili Jia Jue heard the words 'armament convention', within the realm of his mind flashed the image of that horse carriage that was stopped early this morning before the city gate.

At that time, that girl was actually at that place.

Inside that horse carriage.

The reason why he didn't find her was because Jing Wu Shuang became a screen for her.

Good, that was good indeed!

He had actually forgotten, that 'little fox' may not have other abilities, but she certainly knew how to recruit bees and stir up butterflies!

"Qilin." Baili Jia Jue voice became colder.

The shadow of a beast appeared where there seemed to have been nothing and said with a respectful attitude. "Here."

"Get ready. We're going to Armament City." The voice that was the same as ice reverberated within the main hall, echoing wave after wave, and did not abate for a long time...
