C202 An Open Path a Secret Path

After everyone left, only Lin Yuchen and Xu Zifann were left in the hall. Lin Yuchen was still kneeling on the ground while Xu Zifann was standing beside him. A long time passed just like that.

"Master, you should get up. " Xu Zifann squatted next to Lin Yuchen as he spoke. "I know you are feeling guilty and sad right now, but you have been tired for an entire day and night. Now that things have come to this, no matter how much you torture yourself, it will not help. "

"They have all left?" Lin Yuchen asked in a low voice.

"Yes!" Xu Zifann nodded. "Let me help you up. " Xu Zifann held Lin Yuchen's arm and helped him up.

He had experienced too many things on this day. Maybe he was too tired, or maybe he was too sad. As soon as Xu Zifann helped Lin Yuchen up, he saw Lin Yuchen close his eyes and fall forward.

Fortunately, Xu Zifann was quick to react and caught him in time. He pinched him again and again and repeatedly called out to him. After a long time, Lin Yuchen finally woke up again. However, after saying "I'm so tired," he closed his eyes again.

It was not easy for Xu Zifann to carry Lin Yuchen onto his back. He carried Xu Zifann and ran towards the back hall.

"Find a quiet place. The fewer people, the better. " Lin Yuchen said weakly.

"Oh. "

"No, go to Linger's room. "

"Ah? Oh. " Xu Zifann was shocked at first, but he still agreed. But after thinking for a moment, he felt that something was not right. "She might not have woken up yet. . . "

"I finally found you guys!" Before Xu Zifann could finish speaking, he heard a loud shout not far away. He looked towards the source of the sound. It was Ye Linger. Actually, Ye Linger did not get up early. She basically did not sleep for the whole night, but it was a woman. It was inconvenient to leave the room at night, so she stayed in the room. She told the maid to keep an eye on this side of the room at all times. Until this morning, he finally managed to close his eyes for a while. But what woke her up was such bad news.

Before she finished speaking, Ye Linger had already run to the side of the two people's voices. She looked at Lin Yuchen and asked, "What happened to him? Was he injured? Did you call a doctor? "

" No. " Xu Zifann replied, "Maybe I'm too tired. "

"Oh, I've heard about it. Is it really what they said?"

"En. " Xu Zifann nodded.

"This?" After a moment of hesitation, Ye Linger said, "It's not your fault. The situation was urgent. . . " Even though her voice had started to tremble!

"Linger, don't say anymore. " Xu Zifann quickly said, "Go to your room first. "

"Oh, okay, okay. "

Not long after, Xu Zifann carried Lin Yuchen to Ye Linger's room. Lin Yuchen was in a daze. He did not know what had happened, but there were tears on his face.

Ye Linger and Xu Zifann looked at him and did not feel good. They could only take care of Lin Yuchen and lie down. They covered him with the blanket and waited by the side.

"All of you can go out. " Suddenly, they heard Lin Yuchen say.

"Oh, then don't be too sad. " Ye Linger said and looked at Xu Zifann. Although she was unwilling, she still slowly stood up.

"Wait a minute. " Ye Linger and Xu Zifann had not even taken a few steps when they heard Lin Yuchen shouting again, "Linger, Zifan, you guys stay behind. The rest of you can withdraw. "

"Oh. " Ye Linger immediately dismissed everyone and then walked to Lin Yuchen's bed with Xu Zifann. She softly said, "Just say what you want to say. If you want to cry, just cry. It will be better this way. "

"Now is not the time to cry. " Lin Yuchen sat up and said, "If I only know how to cry now, then I will be very sorry to those brothers who have sacrificed themselves, as well as the grandmaster, Martial Uncle, and senior brother Fang who are now in prison. "

"What?" The two of them looked confused. "Didn't they die?"

"No, they're still alive. They were just taken away. "

"This? Are you saying that senior granduncle and senior granduncle Fang Martial Uncle are still alive?" Xu Zifann couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Lower your voice. "

"Oh, but I clearly saw their corpses. "

"Didn't their faces already be cut into pieces?"

"But their clothes were clearly worn before they left. And their ages and figures were very similar. Besides, didn't you already confirm it at that time? "

"You can take off your clothes and change into them, but their ages and figures are indeed very similar. But that's not it. " Lin Yuchen said, "My lord is seventy-nine years old this year, but that corpse is only seventy years old this year. Senior Brother Fang is thirty-five years old this year, but that corpse is only twenty-nine years old. Moreover, he has been dead for a day. As for Master Zhu. . . Although their ages were the same, that person's bones were limp. His muscles are loose. One look and you can tell that he has never practiced martial arts before. "

"This?" Lin Yuchen's words really stunned Xu Zifann and Ye Linger. "How did you know this, and you even know it so clearly?"

"You don't have to worry about that. " Lin Yuchen said, "Do you trust me?"

"Yes!" Xu Zifann and Ye Linger both nodded and said, "Yes. "

"That's right. " Lin Yuchen continued, "Think about it. Since they are already dead, why do you have to cut their faces? Even if there is a deep hatred between them, you shouldn't just cut their faces. "

"That's why they are trying to create an illusion. " Xu Zifann said.

"This is called 'there is no silver in this place'. "

"But if that's the case. . . " Xu Zifann thought for a moment and said, "Then they won't be able to hide it for long. As long as the sun rises, the people of Sword Sect will arrive at the scene. These senior uncles, senior granduncle, and senior granduncle have known each other for a long time. It's impossible for them to deceive them so easily. "

"So, I decided to play along with the plan. I will make them pay for their panic and destroy all traces of them. "

"Did you use the Decaying Corpse Powder to buy time for the patriarch and the others?" Xu Zifann suddenly realized what was going on.

"Those people took such a huge risk to abduct the two great hall masters of Sword Sect. They must be plotting something, so they won't kill them easily. However, if the Sword Sect finds out about this, they might have a guilty conscience and come here to kill them. It would be too late for them to destroy the evidence. "

"But if you do that, they will lower their guard. You are sacrificing soldiers to protect the carriage. "

"No, it is to sacrifice the carriage to protect the commander. If it wasn't for the fact that their lives were in danger and the Sword Sect's interests were involved, I wouldn't have done such a thing. Just like you said, it's outrageous. "

"This. . . I still misunderstood you. " Xu Zifann said, "Then why didn't you tell uncle and the others?"

"I just returned to Sword Sect. I don't know anything about them. "

"This? Sigh!" Xu Zifann could not help but sigh. "Indeed. One must always be wary of others. There was indeed something fishy about yesterday's incident. Do you know who was behind this incident?"

"I'm not too sure. What about you?"

"I think we're thinking the same thing. "

"I'm going to check it out tonight, but I have to act more like it now. "

"I know, then what can I do?"

"I have my own plans. I'll tell you later. "

"What are you guys talking about?" Ye Linger looked confused and could not help but ask, "Are they really still alive?"
