Chapter 1666
Xu Clan
Behind the door was a winding and dignified path. The moment Zhuowen stepped onto the path, two figures slowly approached him.
"Miss Lei!"
Zhuowen's gaze landed on one of the figures as he cupped his hands together and greeted her politely.
Among the two figures, one of them was slender and elegant with peerless elegance. It was Lei Tingqin.
Beside Lei Tingqin was a tall and slender young man in a flowery gown with a refined smile on his face.
The two of them walked side by side. However, Zhuowen keenly noticed that Lei Tingqin's brows were slightly knitted together. Evidently, Lei Tingqin was not particularly interested in the young man beside her.
"Young master Zhuo is indeed a man of his word. You've accepted my invitation!" Lei Tingqin said with a smile.
Zhuowen nodded and handed the token to Lei Tingqin. "This is Miss Lei's token. I'll return it to its rightful owner."
Lei Tingqin kept the token and nodded. Just as she was about to speak, the young man beside her suddenly chuckled. "Sister Qin, is this person Zhuowen?"
Lei Tingqin's beautiful eyes turned cold as she nodded indifferently. However, the young man did not mind. He cupped his hands together towards Zhuowen and said, "Brother Zhuo, I am Feng Tianhan of the Wind Faction!"
Although Zhuowen's ability to observe people's expressions was not as good as some old fellows who had lived for thousands of years, his eyesight was not bad. He naturally saw the coldness in Lei Tingqin's eyes, but he did not dare to act out. It was obvious that Feng Tianhan's position in the Fenglei Clan was not low.
"Brother Zhuo, I'll bring you around first. Brother Tianhan, if there's nothing else, Tingqin will not disturb you!"
Lei Tingqin reached out and grabbed Zhuowen's right hand. After bidding farewell to Feng Tianhan, they hurriedly left the place.
The coldness in Feng Tianhan's eyes intensified as he watched the two figures leave. However, he quickly restrained it.
Lei Tingqin and Zhuowen walked side by side on the quiet path in the garden. The two of them were silent, but their clear footsteps echoed endlessly.
After walking for a long time, Lei Tingqin sighed softly and said, "Brother Zhuo, I think you should leave the Fenglei Clan as soon as possible. I'm afraid Jiang Binhan's matter can't be hidden for long."
Zhuo Wen was startled and asked in surprise, "The witnesses at the time shouldn't have been there. Only you and I know about this matter. The Ice and Fire Family couldn't have found us so quickly, right?"
Lei Tingqin's beautiful eyes were filled with helplessness. She said, "It's said that Jiang Zuomei went to the Prophet's clan and asked the goddess for a divination. I don't know what the result was, but after returning from the Prophet's clan, Jiang Zuomei began to warn the upper echelons of our clan to hand me over."
"Right now, the two families are in a deadlock. Fortunately, Jiang Zuomei didn't mention you, so you still have a chance to leave."
Hearing this, Zhuowen's face turned ugly. He frowned and said, "Is it the Prophet Clan's Goddess?
But the one who killed Jiang Binhan was the masked man. I think if the Goddess really has the ability to see the past, she should point her finger at the masked man. "
"I don't know. I only know that Jiang Zuomei has begun to target our clan. I've already prepared the Primal Chaos Shuttle for you. It's inside."
Lei Tingqin waved her hand and handed a spiritual ring to Zhuowen.
Zhuowen's gaze was complicated. He asked, "Miss Lei, what are you going to do next?"
Lei Tingqin shook her head and said, "Don't worry about this. I'm the successor of the Lightning Clan. The Fenglei Clan won't hand me over easily. I have my clan backing me, so I'm fine. But you're different. You're alone. Your situation is much more difficult than mine."
Zhuowen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I wonder if Miss Lei knows anything about the masked man?"
Lei Tingqin shook her head and said, "He's too mysterious. Even our clan's Intelligence Bureau couldn't find out the masked man's identity. It's as if he appeared out of nowhere. Now, our clan is negotiating with the Icefire Clan. If everything goes well, this matter might be suppressed."
"I'll remember Miss Lei's kindness today!" Zhuowen cupped his hands and said, "I have one more thing that I'd like to ask of Miss Lei."
"Say it. As long as I can help, I'll definitely help!" Lei Tingqin said.
"Miss Lei, can you help Zhuowen look into these two people? They're my friends. I heard that they appeared in the Xu Clan before!"
Zhuowen took out a jade slip and handed it to Lei Tingqin. It had the portraits of Lü Hantian and Wu Die.
Lei Tingqin checked it and nodded, "The Xu Clan is a subsidiary clan of the Windthunder Clan. I'll help you look into it. I should have an answer soon."
"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Zhuowen cupped his hands and said.
"Brother Zhuo, why don't you rest in my clan for a day or two? You can leave with your friends after you've found the person you're looking for. What do you think?" Lei Tingqin said with a sweet smile.
Zhuowen's eyes flickered and he said with a smile, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. I'll just find an inn in the Windthunder City to stay. When the time comes, Miss Lei can just send me a message."
"Alright, I'll send you out first. When there's news, I'll inform Brother Zhuo as soon as possible." Lei Tingqin said with a smile.
After sending Zhuowen away, Lei Tingqin stood at the gate for a while. Her beautiful eyes flickered. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Sister Qin, did you take a fancy to a strange man because you were so attentive to him?"
Feng Tianhan had unknowingly appeared behind Lei Tingqin. The corner of his mouth revealed a trace of evil intent.
"This person is my friend. Naturally, I can't be rude to a friend. If there's nothing else, Brother Tianhan, Tingqin will take her leave."
Lei Tingqin glanced at Feng Tianhan indifferently and then walked past him.
"Is it really just because of a friend?" Feng Tianhan murmured as a trace of profoundness gushed out from his eyes.
"There's something wrong with this Lei Tingqin. Her attitude towards me is too good. When she appeared in front of me at the beginning and blocked the attack for me with the Lightning Disc, I felt that it was a little strange."
"I'm not related to her. Why would she help me?
Now, she even handed the Primal Chaos Shuttle to me personally and promised to help me investigate someone. She didn't refuse any of my requests. It's really suspicious. "
After leaving the Windthunder Clan and walking on the road, Zhuowen narrowed his eyes. Lei Tingqin's attitude really made him feel suspicious.
"Whether Lei Tingqin is sincere or not, you'll know when you go back and check the Primal Chaos Shuttle in the Spiritual Ring." In his sea of consciousness, Xiao Hei said indifferently.
In the Windthunder City, Zhuowen found an inn and checked in.
In the dim room, Zhuowen set up layers of restrictions in the room. Then, with a flick of his finger, he took out the Primal Chaos Shuttle from the Spiritual Ring.
The Primal Chaos Shuttle could be big or small. Now that he took out the Primal Chaos Shuttle, Zhuowen naturally used his Saint Energy to shrink it by a dozen times. The room was just right for it to fit.
Zhuowen touched the surface of the Primal Chaos Shuttle with his right hand and began to carefully examine every corner of it. His face suddenly turned ugly. Then, with a pinch of his right hand, he took out a bit of black powder.
The black powder was very inconspicuous. When it was placed at the bottom of the Primal Chaos Shuttle, it was as if it was accidentally touched by dust.
If Zhuowen did not have any suspicions beforehand, he would not have noticed the black powder. However, since he had his suspicions, the powder at the bottom of the Primal Chaos Shuttle was the biggest suspicious point.
"This powder is …"
The coldness in Zhuowen's eyes became more intense. However, he did not crush the powder. Instead, he stuck it back on the Primal Chaos Shuttle.
"Lei Tingqin …"
Zhuowen took a deep breath and cursed in his heart. Previously, he had asked Lei Tingqin to investigate the whereabouts of Lü Hantian and Wudie. If Lü Hantian and Wudie were really in the Xu Family, then Lü Hantian and Wudie would be in a difficult situation.
"Looks like I'll have to make a trip to the Xu Family!"
After taking a deep breath, Zhuowen waved his sleeve and summoned his Spiritual Energy Doppelganger. He planned to let this doppelganger guard the Primal Chaos Shuttle and use it to confuse Lei Tingqin.
Zhuowen's appearance gradually changed into Xu Huan's appearance. His eyes were piercingly cold as he said coldly, "Why is Lei Tingqin doing this?
She should have come to me with some kind of goal in mind, right? "
Zhuowen quickly recalled the abnormality of Lei Sanyi in his body when Lei Tingqin took out the lightning disc. He thought to himself, "Could it be that Lei Tingqin has sensed something?
I'm afraid I can't stay here for long. However, before that, I have to make a trip to the Xu Family. "
With that, Zhuowen left the inn.
Although the Xu Family was also in the Windthunder City, the location of their residence was quite a distance away from the Windthunder Clan.
When Zhuowen took the form of Xu Huan and arrived at the Xu Family's residence, the two guards were pleasantly surprised. One of them said, "Young master!
You're finally back. Master has been looking for you all this time. "
Zhuowen nodded. With a flick of his finger, the images of Lü Hantian and Wudie appeared. He asked, "Do the two of you recognize these two?"
The two guards took a closer look and nodded repeatedly. They said, "Of course we do. Aren't these two guests of our Xu Family?"
"Then do you know where they are?" Zhuowen's eyes flickered as he asked.
"Some time ago, these two people seemed to have been sent out by the Master. As for where they went?
We don't know. "The guard shook his head.
Zhuowen frowned. He stood silently at the door.
The guard said cautiously, "Young master, master has been very worried about you. Now that you're back, should I inform master first?"
"There's no need. Just take me there!" Zhuo Wen said straightforwardly.
The guard did not doubt him. He nodded repeatedly and led Zhuowen towards the residence. Soon, he arrived in front of a rather luxurious pavilion.
In the hall of the pavilion, a dignified middle-aged man in embroidered clothes was pacing back and forth. At this moment, when he saw the guard walk in, a trace of displeasure appeared on his face.
However, when the middle-aged man saw the person behind the guard, his body shook. Then, his eyes revealed excitement. He took a step forward and walked in front of Zhuowen.
"Huan 'er, you're finally back. You've been out for so long. Why are you only back now?
Where's Xue 'er and Xu Lei? "The middle-aged man squeezed Zhuowen's shoulder excitedly.
