Chapter 1856: Chapter 1883: Beat Him Up First, Talk Later
After a cup of tea.
Yu Huan Shui and Li Xiaobai stood outside the Yumi Academy.
After a lot of pulling and dragging, he eventually came, the biggest reason being that he couldn’t find a way to restore his cultivation level, and perhaps he could discover something in the organization during this opportunity.
“Do you think it’s possible that Chen Qingquan has reached some kind of agreement with the organization, and this is actually a trap?”
Li Xiaobai asked.
“No, there’s no Law’s aura on the paper, it’s just ordinary paper and ink. If it’s a trap, the letter writer wouldn’t need to go through such pains to narrate secrets only known to you, to lure you over.”
“Moreover, Chen Qingquan, though decent, is far from the level of being able to liaise with the organization. Most likely, it’s the organization’s leader inviting you.”
Yu Huan Shui looked at the splendidly magnificent academy and felt a lot of emotions. This was no longer his academy; how could it accommodate scholars after being ruined like this?
Chen Qingquan and those old stubborn folks still understand nothing in the end.
Li Xiaobai: “Then let’s go in.”
The two entered the academy, which, though splendidly magnificent, hadn’t changed much in layout, with the main hall still situated at the center of the academy.
Not a single shadow of a person was seen along the way; Yumi Academy truly became a solitary place.
Inside the main hall.
The highest throne had vanished, and in its place was a large coffin. Chen Qingquan and a group of elders sat around the coffin, cross-legged, with their hands clasped, muttering under their breath. Tiny green lights, like fireflies, were stripped from their bodies and flew into the coffin.
No one noticed the inexplicable addition of two people inside the hall.
“Soon, it’ll be restored soon…”
“Just a bit more, give me a bit more life energy!”
A sinister, hoarse voice came from within the coffin.
This voice sounded somewhat familiar. Li Xiaobai and Yu Huan Shui approached to check, circling around the coffin.
Li Xiaobai: “Weren’t we told someone was here to meet us? Could it be this thing in the coffin?”
Yu Huan Shui: “This voice sounds a bit familiar.”
“Doesn’t seem like a good thing, your precious disciple’s life is about to be drained dry by this thing.”
The two exchanged a few simple words, but Chen Qingquan and the others did not awaken. They had already lost consciousness, retaining only the instinct to transfer life energy to the coffin.
The voice inside the coffin abruptly ceased. The person inside realized outsiders had intruded.
“Out there, are you the organization’s specially invited new members?”
After a long time, the person inside the coffin spoke.
“It’s me. Open the coffin lid, and let’s meet frankly.”
Li Xiaobai knocked on the coffin and said.
“You’re early. Wait another two hours, once I’ve drained these people, I’ll come out by myself.”
The person inside the coffin said dryly.
Li Xiaobai: “Is your health not good?”
Coffin: “Not optimal.”
“Not optimal? Just right, lend a hand, let’s lift his coffin lid, he dares to face us in an unoptimal state, this guy is quite bold!”
Li Xiaobai got excited and called Yu Huan Shui to lift the coffin lid together.
Since this person was in a weakened state, they held the upper hand, so of course, they couldn’t let him recover freely. The situation was unclear; they better drag him out for a beating first.
“No, no, no…”
“Don’t touch my coffin…”
“You all…”
The person inside the coffin panicked, but unfortunately, Li Xiaobai didn’t give him any breathing space. In an instant, the coffin lid flew out, and the three of them were face to face.
For a moment, they all froze.
The person inside the coffin was indeed an acquaintance, none other than Da Jianbi, whom they had dealt with.
The owner of the Labyrinth of Lies!
Da Jianbi was also dumbfounded. He had indeed received a message from the organization, asking him to stay here and await the new member’s arrival. Monk Changsheng had died, and the organization found a new supervisor to replace him.
But he never dreamed it would be these two death bringers!
A breath later.
The air solidified, the temperature plummeted, and terrifying killing intent pierced the sky, as Yu Huan Shui kicked the coffin flying away.
“Gate of Destiny!”
[From now on, hear nothing!]
A line of small letters quickly printed on the faces of him and Li Xiaobai.
“Well played, Da Jianbi, I’ve become quite appreciative of you now, bringing me was indeed Brother Li’s wisest choice, otherwise, he would have been tricked!”
Yu Huan Shui sneered coldly.
“No wonder you didn’t let me bring Mr. Yu, turns out you intended to kill me alone, you orchestrated that letter, and you’re not dead yet!”
“Truly a scourge lasting a thousand years, but how did you know about my past, that needs further investigation!”
Li Xiaobai’s face turned gloomy, and murderous intent surged.
They were well aware of the abilities within the Labyrinth of Lies, as long as they couldn’t hear what the other person was saying, Da Jianbi’s power wouldn’t even reach fifty percent.
The two of them slowly approached the coffin that had flown out, cautiously peering inside.
Yu Huan Shui remarked in surprise: “Wow, your body has almost recovered, such an astounding ability, when clearly all your bones were shattered.”
Li Xiaobai gestured and pointed to Da Jianbi’s left leg: “There’s still one left leg that hasn’t recovered.”
Yu Huan Shui spread out his hands, meaning: “What should we do?”
Li Xiaobai clenched his fist: “Hit first, talk later!”
Inside the coffin, Da Jianbi struggled frantically, his mouth kept moving, continuously yelling, but unfortunately, Yu Huan Shui and Li Xiaobai’s hearing had been blocked, so they had no idea what he was saying.
Da Jianbi despaired, he was truly wronged, he hadn’t done anything!
It was really the organization asking him to wait here, he wanted to explain, but as soon as these two arrived, they erased their hearing, completely clueless about his words.
Watching as the two massive fists rapidly enlarged, he became disheartened and gave up resisting.
A ten-minute-long pummeling.
The coffin shattered into pieces, cutting off the life energy transmission channel between Chen Qingquan and Da Jianbi.
The painstakingly restored bones broke again, although not as shattered as the last fight, he definitely couldn’t stand up.
“Whew, satisfying!”
“Damn it, I felt uneasy in the castle, didn’t expect another chance to beat you up.”
“What are you saying? Could it be you still want to use lies to confuse us?”
“Too bad, now we no longer need to ask anything from your mouth.”
Li Xiaobai sneered coldly, mercilessly mocking, and pointed to Da Jianbi’s face at Yu Huan Shui, who understood immediately.
“Gate of Destiny!”
Da Jianbi’s face revealed a page that opened up, with a line of words written: [Do not move, do not attack Yu Huan Shui and Li Xiaobai.]
After finishing all this, he restored their hearing.
“This time we struck first, didn’t give him a chance, now he’s become a book, let me see what kind of tricks he’s up to,” Yu Huan Shui said, flipping through the pages on Da Jianbi’s face for a close read.
Page by page, his expression also gradually became odd.
“What does it say?”
Li Xiaobai curiously asked.
“Seems to be a misunderstanding. That letter really was from the organization, and he was the one to meet us.”
“To fill the void left by Monk Changsheng, they especially invited Li Xiaobai to become the new supervisor, to join Jiang Que’s team. They’re talking about the monk from Yue Xing Bilian Village.”
Yu Huan Shui closed the pages and allowed Da Jianbi to move again.
Li Xiaobai stepped forward and patted his face, swollen like a pig’s: “Brother, sorry, it was a misunderstanding, but don’t take it to heart, us beating you at first sight shows respect for your Law of Power.”
