C260 Calculate Surveillance Council

At this time, the three people in the room were busy with their own matters. Gongsun Zaitian was closing his eyes and meditating, Lan Er was drawing and writing on the book table, Leng Nuohan was still reading the small book with the name of the book blurring. She would finish reading through the rest of the pages in a short while.

"Oh right, Lan Er, how long has Third Uncle been gone for?" Gongsun Ztian suddenly asked.

"Eh, it's been almost an hour!" Lan Er stopped writing and replied after pondering for a while.

"Yes, it's about time. According to the speed of third uncle's troops, they should have just arrived at the commander's mansion not too long ago, or something really big will happen if we're late. Quickly go to mother's room and hand over this slip of paper. Mother will know what to do next!" Gongsun Ze Tian closed his eyes and calculated for a while, then he spoke to Lan Er, at the same time handing over a piece of paper that he had just written down.

"Yes, Young Master. I'll be going now!" Lan Er did not ask any further, he knew that his master had her own arrangements, she only needed to listen to his orders.

"Are you going to start scheming against the people of Surveillance Council again?" Leng Nuohan slowly put down the book and asked Gongsun Zaitian.

It can't be said that they ate at my house and lived at mine. How can they just eat and not work? This is bad for their health. Gongsun Zaitian spread out his hands and showed a helpless expression towards Leng Nuohan. Then, he explained to Leng Nuohan while "showing off her skills to the outside world".

"You, everything becomes natural in your mouth, as if the whole world owes you!" Leng Nuohan laughed, and replied indifferently.

"No, you don't owe me, but I feel that I owe you a lot!" Gongsun Ze Tian slowly said as he opened his eyes and looked at Leng Nuohan with a sun-like smile.

"Nonsense!" Leng Nuohan's face reddened slightly as she scolded with a smile to cover her embarrassment.

In Boxer Mansion's resting room.

Yan Luo watched the dejected figure return in surprise. While he was puzzled, he was also curious what had caused the hidden expert to behave like this.

However, seeing him in such a state, Yan Luo knew in his heart that the shadow probably did not detect any useful information, but he still subconsciously asked. "I say, shadow, what did you detect? "Why are you back so early?"

"Sniffing my ass, I was just shot in the heart!" Sure enough, the shadow began to curse.

"Discovered?" Yan Luo asked in shock.

Who was the shadow? He was an assassin that was well-known throughout the Honglong Empire and even the entire continent. If he were to establish a throne in the world of assassins, then he would be a shadow. The most powerful aspect of the silhouette wasn't his killing techniques, but his concealment techniques. As long as he concealed himself wholeheartedly, no one would be able to discover his existence.

This was because the shadow could merge breathing into nature, even to the point of not breathing. No matter how hard one's hearing was, it was impossible for one to distinguish his existence through sound. At the same time, he could also lower his body temperature to the same level as his surroundings. This was an extremely dangerous but also a very effective method for a hidden expert.

The human body's temperature and aura could affect the reaction of other living beings in the natural world. This was also the reason why wherever humans went, they would cause birds to startle and beasts to run. However, it was very difficult to adjust one's body temperature. Even if one's entire body was covered in mud, it would at most lower the temperature by a portion. It was impossible to completely hide it.

Besides, he was covered in mud. If he hid in the swamps, perhaps he would have thought that someone had ever seen mud lying on the ground amidst flowers and grass. Or maybe there was mud on someone's roof? Let's not talk about whether he would be exposed because of the splatter of mud, but if you looked at it from a distance, you would definitely see that it was the same as a pile of sh * t.

Therefore, the method the shadow used to adjust its own temperature was simply comparable to 'non-human' methods. Therefore, every time he tried to kill a target, he would be able to do it easily, because no one would be able to discover his existence beforehand. This was also the main reason why Yan Luo was so shocked. If even his shadow could be discovered, what kind of level would the opponent's cultivation reach?

"I don't know. I'm being very careful. The possibility of being found isn't high. It's probably just a coincidence!" Thus, the shadow gave a brief description of the eavesdropping, and also described in detail the conversation between Murong Fenghuang and her mother, as well as some of their emotional reactions.

"Hearing you say that, it is indeed a coincidence! "If she doesn't want you this time, you don't have to worry about it. You can go back tonight. With such a secret thing, she will probably choose to look for that person tonight!" After Yan Luo heard the shadow's narration, he pondered for a long time, and after pondering for a long time, he finally spoke to the shadow.

There were two reasons why Yan Luo was sure that this was all a coincidence. The first reason was that Murong Fenghuang's strongest ability was intelligence. His skills were average, and had not yet reached level 5, but they were not far from each other. At this level, it was impossible to find a shadow. The shadow's power was at the peak of the sixth rank, and if it wasn't at the peak of the eighth rank or higher, it would be impossible to discover him. I can only give you a few words, 'Stop dreaming'! As for the five-year-old child, it could only be said, 'Are you joking? How could a child have the ability to discover the existence of a shadow? ', so Gongsun Ze Tian was ignored.

The second reason was to add onto the first reason, because some talented children were indeed not ordinary, but it definitely did not include Gongsun Ze Tian himself. It was said that in the martial world, with the confirmation from the Chief of the Surveillance Council, Duanmu Weili, that this child was born with trash, and that he was a short-lived ghost. Anyone could possibly be entrusted by the dean, and only this child definitely could not. As for Murong Fenghuang? Please refer to the first reason.

Therefore, Yan Luo came up with this answer, which he believed to be a 100% possibility. Of course, the two of them still had not given up on finding the person entrusted with the task by the dean.

"I also thought the same, so I stepped back!" The silhouette's mood slightly eased up before nodding in agreement.

"Un, go to sleep first!" After coming to a conclusion, Yan Luo calmed himself down. For the matter at night, he urged the shadow to rest first and stand guard here. After all, it was not his own territory.

After the two of them had rested for almost an hour, a servant girl suddenly knocked on their door and timidly said: "Esteemed guests, my family's young mistress has invited you! She is already waiting for the two of you in the living room. This servant has come to report to the two esteemed guests and to lead the way! "

"Oh, thank you!" Yan Luo replied to the servant girl outside the door in a clear voice, and at the same time, looked at the shadow who had long woken up, and the two of them saw puzzlement and bewilderment in each other's eyes.

After walking left and right in Boxer Mansion for a while, the two of them arrived at the reception hall under the lead of the servant, and sure enough, Murong Fenghuang was already there waiting for the two.

After the branch host took her seat, Yan Luo asked first: "I wonder why Madam has called the two of us here?"

The reason why he opened his mouth first was to investigate the other side's purpose of coming here, and secondly, to see if the other side had learned of his probing actions.

"It's not a big deal. I've already met that person. He agreed to help the Principal. However, he needs to be honest with your abilities!" Murong Fenghuang laughed, while instructing the two to get tea, she slowly explained the reason for inviting the two here.

Hearing Murong Fenghuang's words, the two of them were shocked. It had not been long since Murong Fenghuang received the letter, and most of the time, it was being watched by the shadow. The only loophole was when he was whispering with her son, but the contents were normal. When did Murong Fenghuang deliver the letter? Could it be that the other party came without a trace?

"Oh? Madam is indeed capable, and in such a short period of time, you managed to complete the task the Headmaster had entrusted to you. Yan Luo hid the astonishment in his heart, and said those words with sarcasm. Although it seemed like he was praising her, in truth, it was not without sarcasm.

"How can that be? The Headmaster is an elder who has watched me grow up. As a junior, of course I can't be disrespectful to him!" Murong Fenghuang did not mind, and continued to speak with an amiable tone.

"Then, Madam, how would that person like to examine the abilities of us two brothers?" Seeing that the lady in front of him was unaffected by the water, and was not able to see through her, Yan Luo decided to cut off the topic. It seemed like if he wanted to find out who that person was, he would have to find out from other channels. However, since the dean had already spoken, he could only let the two of them listen to the other person's arrangements. Thus, they could only see what the other party wanted from the both of them.

"It's very simple. Regarding this question, the person entrusted to me to decide it, so I won't be polite." Murong Fenghuang replied indifferently, at the same time he made a "please" gesture, indicating that the two of them could taste the tea beside him.

"Please speak, Madam!" The two of them were obviously not in the mood to drink tea, Yan Luo stood up and cupped his fists, and said to Murong Fenghuang.

"I heard my brother-in-law took someone to challenge someone else. I'll have to trouble you two to personally make a trip. Don't let my brother-in-law suffer any losses!" Murong Fenghuang's smile grew wider as she slowly explained the contents of the 'exam'.

"Madam, may I ask, whose stage did Great General Situ go and kick?" Yan Luo was surprised, wasn't this woman floating in mid air with her brother-in-law exactly General Situ Qingyun? Thus, he asked in confusion.

"Oh, it seems to be the stage of the Fengyang City's Guard Army!" Murong Fenghuang said indifferently, as if it was an extremely simple matter, something that could be settled in minutes. As she spoke, she picked up the cup of tea beside him and took a sip.

"What!" The two directors of Surveillance Council stood up and shouted at the same time. After hearing this, the two of them could no longer sit still, they turned and rushed out of the residence as if their butts were on fire.

How could they not be anxious? Although Murong Fenghuang said it casually, to the two of them, this information was like 'thunder in the sky'. If the two sides were to fight openly, it would be a conflict that would go straight up to the level of a military. Just this matter alone was enough to pierce through the heavens. Furthermore, if the Principal knew that the two of them were currently in Fengyang City and something so huge was happening in the city, then he would probably personally come and spank them.

Yan Luo ran as he turned his head back, he looked at Murong Fenghuang who was still smiling faintly, this woman was truly poisonous, with Situ Qingyun's strength, and the elite soldiers under him, how could he be at a disadvantage? At that time, it was not certain who would suffer a loss!

Then, Yan Luo thought about something else as he angrily said, "Poor Commander Ni Qushi! Why the f * ck did you have nothing better to do? Why did you go and provoke Situ Qingyun!? Isn't this just asking for trouble? "
