However, at this moment, Wu Jitian shouted, "Have you gone to the place indicated on the map?"
Shi Ling heard this and paused for a moment. He did not turn his head and said, "If I have the time, I will go take a look."
Wu Jitian looked at Shi Ling's back as he left, and he could tell that Shi Ling was clearly angry, Wu Jitian also sighed helplessly towards this matter, and if it was anyone else, they would not feel any better, right? Wasn't that disgraceful son of his back then also a little too?
Wu Jitian had his hands behind his back, and when he looked up at the pitch black dungeon, he thought of a young man and shouted at him, "Even if I don't have the Buddhist Prison Heavy Mountain Palm, I can still become a powerful warrior, and bring my Everlasting School to glory!"
Thinking about this, Wu Jitian couldn't help but to smile. Luckily, that young man ran away from home and didn't get slaughtered, so he was able to keep a trace of his bloodline in the Everlasting School.
However, at this moment, Wu Jitian felt a lot of guilt. If possible, he really wished that he could look at him before he died and hear him call him "father". However, Wu Jitian knew it was impossible.
"..."
There were also sharp screams. Looking over, one would see a young man kneeling on the ground, his upper body bare, with two hands grabbing at his ears. Behind the young man was a beautiful woman, holding a leather whip in her hand, constantly whipping the young man's back.
Another light slap rang out, leaving a deep trail of blood on the young man's back. The young man cried out in pain, and at the same time, he told the girl, "Sister, stop hitting me, I know my wrongs!"
The woman was even angrier. She swung the whip over and said, "Now you know you're wrong. What are you doing? So many people died. If your family asks, I'll see how you explain it to your family."
As he said that, he lashed out at the young man with his whip as if he was disappointed in him. The young man roared in pain and scolded Shi Ling in his heart.
Who else could the young man kneeling on the ground be other than Zhang Yusheng? And the beautiful woman behind Zhang Yusheng, was the second young miss of Zhang Family, Zhang Yue.
Patriarch of Zhang Family, Zhang Wu Hao had a total of three sons and daughters, among them the eldest, Zhang Tianxiao, was already an inner sect core disciple of Spirit Sword Sect, and was even ranked seventh on the Heavenly Rankings. Not only did he gain the favor of many elders in the sect, his own talent was also exceptional, and he was modest and polite.
As for her second brother, Zhang Yue, even though she was only a woman, she was still exceptionally hardworking. In addition to her extraordinary talent and with the support of her family, she had now already become an official disciple of the outer sect, and was also a profound strength expert. She was an existence that was not weak even amongst disciples of the same level, and had even had the results of several battles which transcended levels.
It was one thing if Zhang Yusheng did not do his job all day long and always brought a lot of trouble to the family. Not long ago, he was punished by the sect for sullying a new female disciple who had just joined the school, and if it wasn't for Zhang Wu Hao protecting him, Zhang Yusheng's head would have long been lying on the ground.
This time, in order to deal with a mere servant, he had even sent out many experts from his Zhang Family. This was whatever, but the key thing was that none of these experts came back, and even Yan Wuping had lost contact with them. Without any reason or cause, there would be one less Sect Supervisor, and the Spirit Sword Sect would be investigated, and at that time, it would definitely be on Zhang Yusheng's head.
At that moment, Zhang Yue picked up a whip and whipped Zhang Yusheng, causing Zhang Yusheng to fall to the ground due to the pain. Zhang Yue wanted to whip him again, but he ran backwards and hid behind a tree.
Zhang Yue angrily said, "Come back here!"
However, Zhang Yusheng lost his temper and said: "Then put down the whip in your hand."
Seeing that this little brat actually dared to negotiate with her, Zhang Yue was so angry that her face turned red and her chest rose and fell. She suddenly slapped the whip on the stone table and said, "You're not coming over, right? Okay, when Big Bro comes back, let's see how he'll deal with you!" As he spoke, he sat down and took a cup of tea to drink.
When Zhang Yusheng heard about his big brother, he was dumbfounded. He didn't dare to hide anymore and walked out obediently. Then, he knelt in front of Zhang Yue and said, "Sister, I know I was wrong."
However, he was truly afraid of his big brother. In his memory, this big brother was even more ferocious than his father, and would not show any mercy when hitting him. He still remembered that his legs were broken by that big brother, so how could he not be afraid?
Zhang Yue calmed down at this moment, but her expression was still as ugly as ever. She shouted towards the door, "Zhang Cheng!"
At this moment, Zhang Cheng walked in and arrived in front of Zhang Yue. He cupped his fist and bowed while saying, "This old servant is here."
Zhang Yue put down the teacup in her hand and asked, "Have the people who lost contact been found yet?"
Zhang Cheng said, "Not yet, but our people have already cleared out that area. We should be able to find them very soon."
Zhang Yue said, "There's no need to search. Tell our people to come back. Those who lost contact with us must have been killed. Even if we do, I'm afraid they are already dead. There's no need to search any further."
Zhang Cheng nodded in agreement and immediately wanted to do it. Zhang Yue said, "Oh right, there's one more thing."
Zhang Cheng hurriedly walked back and bowed to Zhang Yue as he said, "Second Miss, do you have any other instructions?"
Zhang Yue said: "Go and list out the names of the people that you have lost this time. It should be done quickly, and it would be best if we can settle this matter before Spirit Sword Sect comes down to scold us."
Zhang Cheng nodded his head in agreement and then left. Zhang Yue stood up and walked back and forth with her hands behind her back. Zhang Yusheng, who was kneeling at the side, did not dare to say a single word.
Zhang Yusheng had sent out more than twenty experts, but all of them died on the outside. It had to be known that even if Zhang Family wanted to cultivate a master who was absolutely loyal to Zhang Family, it would still take a lot of manpower and resources, but Zhang Yusheng was the one who used up all of a sudden, and almost twenty people died in his hands. If the family asked, Zhang Yusheng would not only be trouble, he might even be beaten to death by his father and brother.
However, Zhang Yue naturally couldn't stand by and watch her own brother get beaten to death. Otherwise, how could she face her dead mother? Zhang Yue immediately sat back down and asked Zhang Yusheng, "Who were you going to deal with before?"
At this moment, Zhang Yusheng lowered his head even more and didn't dare to say anything. However, Zhang Yue slammed the table and said, "Hurry up and say it!"
Zhang Yusheng quickly answered, "It's a janitor, his name is Shi Ling!"
Zhang Yue was so angry that she almost fainted. "A mere servant is worth sending over twenty experts to assassinate him!"
Zhang Yusheng said subserviently: "In fact, it's not that complicated. It's because that bastard Shi Ling slapped me in front of everyone in the sky valley, and I couldn't hold back my anger, so I sent people to kill him, and then the people I sent disappeared all of a sudden. I thought he died together with Shi Ling, but then, Yan Wuping saw that he was still alive and had even went to the Garden Pavilion to take on a mission.
At this time, Zhang Yue felt that her brain was a bit off, and said: "That Yan Wuping should have at least the power of the early stage of Blood Coagulation, right? In addition to that, there are also more than a dozen experts accompanying us. We shouldn't have died outside. "
Zhang Yusheng was also confused and said, "I thought so too, but I don't know how they did it. They were actually killed by Shi Ling. Now that they are all dead, no one can ask what happened."
Zhang Yue bit her lips without saying anything. "You should have known that you had to stop after sending your first batch of experts to assassinate Shi Ling. How can you be so stubborn?"
Zhang Yusheng was scolded by his sister until he didn't have a temper, and didn't dare to say much. However, at this time, Zhang Cheng ran in hurriedly and said to Zhang Yue: "Second Miss, Qiu Family Manager, Qiu Liang is here."
Zhang Yue couldn't help but frown as she asked, "What are you doing here?"
Zhang Cheng said, "He said there were survivors from the assassination of Shi Ling!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue and Zhang Yusheng turned around abruptly. However, Zhang Yue looked at Zhang Yusheng and said, "How do the people from Qiu Family know about this?"
Zhang Yusheng lowered his head and said: "Before, just to be safe, I had Yan Wuping find Qiu Daozhuo to deal with Shi Ling, that's why I involved Qiu Family."
When Zhang Yue heard this, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. Immediately, she slapped Zhang Yusheng's face, causing him to retreat continuously. At this moment, Zhang Yue said to Zhang Cheng, "Let's go and take a look."
At this moment, Zhang Yusheng also quickly got up from the ground. He then tidied up his clothes and ran out, he also wanted to know what happened just now and why so many experts were sent to die at the hands of Wu Tie. There must be something amiss.
Soon, they arrived at a pavilion. An old man with white hair and beard was sitting in the pavilion, sipping a cup of tea. Qiu Daozhuo was sitting beside him with a wooden face, and behind him was a young man wearing a mask.
Zhang Yue then walked over to the old man, bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Butler Qiu. What are your orders today?"
Qiu Liang stood up from his seat with a smile and said to Zhang Yue, "I don't dare to accept your order, but this matter is still a bit important."
Zhang Yue glanced at the stiff Qiu Daozhuo. Then, she sat down and gestured Qiu Liang to take a seat as well.
At this moment, Zhang Yusheng also looked at Qiu Daozhuo and threw a look at him. He was asking him what was going on and why he couldn't even do that small thing properly, but Qiu Daozhuo ignored him, as if he didn't recognize him.
Qiu Liang sat down and said, "I assume that Housekeeper Zhang has already told Second Miss about the purpose of my visit, right?"
Zhang Yue chuckled and said, "I want to know who that witness is."
Qiu Liang waved at Qiu Daozhuo, who was standing beside him. Qiu Daozhuo stood up and cupped his fist and bowed to Zhang Yue. He said: "I am a concubine of Qiu Family. Qiu Daozhuo greets Second Miss."
When Zhang Yue heard this, she glanced at Qiu Daozhuo and said, "Could it be that you have witnessed everything before?"
Qiu Liang waved at Qiu Daozhuo, indicating for him to sit down again. Qiu Liang said, "That's right. Out of all the people Yan Wuping brought out earlier, he's the only one who survived."
Zhang Yue looked at Qiu Daozhuo with her bright eyes and said, "Then tell me what happened before."
Qiu Daozhuo lowered his head and said, "I don't remember."
Zhang Yue was a little surprised, Zhang Yusheng also looked at him blankly and said, "Everyone's dead, and only you survived through the gates of hell. You dare to say you don't remember anything?"
At this time, Zhang Yue glared at him, indicating that he didn't have the right to speak here. Zhang Yusheng didn't dare to say anything anymore, but at the same time, what Zhang Yusheng said was also what she wanted to ask, so he looked towards Qiu Daozhuo.
At this moment, Qiu Liang said, "You don't need to ask him anymore, he really doesn't remember anything."
Zhang Yue's eyes widened slightly as she asked, "How did this happen?"
Qiu Liang said, "I've already checked his body before. He must have suffered some kind of head impact that caused him to lose his memory. I tried to recover his memory, but he was in great pain."
Zhang Yue frowned slightly and said, "That is to say, he doesn't know anything now?"
Qiu Liang shook his head. "As long as we can find a way to recover his memories, everything that happened before will come to light."
Zhang Yue asked, "What does Butler Qiu mean?"
Qiu Liang said, "I have long heard that Zhang Family produces all kinds of spiritual herbs and medicines. One of the spiritual herbs, 'Illusory Dream', has a very good recovery effect on people who have lost their memories."
At this time, Zhang Yue's brows furrowed, and said: "Only Illusory Dream can gather less than a hundred every ten years, and every single one of them is extremely precious. Even our Zhang Family view them as treasures."
The meaning behind his words was that if you wanted to buy Illusory Dream, you could. However, the prerequisite was that you had to spend money to buy Illusory Dream.
Qiu Liang smiled, "Everyone understands the rules, but I don't have that much money on my behalf. I don't know if Second Miss can make any arrangements to heal my unfilial son first, but I'm worried that his memories will never recover after this period of time."
Zhang Yue said with a hint of displeasure, "Qiu, you're making things difficult for me."
Qiu Liang waved his hand and laughed, "Not at all, as long as you pay me back my Qiu Family in a few days, I will naturally compensate you. Also, don't you want to know how those experts your Zhang Family sent out died? I suspect that the kid called Shi Ling must have had the help of other experts. Otherwise, with just his little bit of strength, he would have had no chance of surviving against so many experts. "
Hearing this, Zhang Yue also hesitated, she also wanted to know what exactly had happened, but she was still a bit worried. At this time, Qiu Liang suddenly increased his fire and said: "Also, Spirit Sword Sect asked about Yan Wuping's death, I will help you guys suppress it, how about it?"
Zhang Yue's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She immediately looked at Qiu Daozhuo and walked over. She examined his brain for signs of amnesia before saying to Qiu Liang, "Deal."
Qiu Liang laughed and said, "That's right, I just like to make deals with straightforward people."
Then, he stood up and walked out, saying: "There is one more thing, as the saying goes, a family cannot be seen by the public. Tomorrow is the competition for the entrance examination, and that errand boy Shi Ling will definitely be there. When that time comes, I'm sure you don't need me to teach you what to do, right?"
With that, he left. Zhang Yue narrowed her eyes slightly and whispered, "Shi Ling!"
