The only thing he said was the last sentence, "Okay, let's go back and report. That guy is hiding in the vast sea with a clear conscience after causing trouble, and he made us work so hard."
Seeing this, Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing looked at each other, and Lin Jinxing then asked: "Besides this, are there any other discoveries?"
Old Zhou nodded quickly, and the hatred in his eyes gradually intensified.
"Yes! I also found that although they were wearing casual clothes, they all had a jade pendant hanging around their waists. I didn't know what that jade pendant was before. Until one time when I was setting up a stall, a few young men with extraordinary demeanor passed by the street, and I saw jade pendants with the same pattern on them. From the customers passing by, I learned that they were disciples of Tianji Pavilion!"
Lin Hao said to his senior brother: "It seems that our thinking is correct. The problem is indeed with the Tianji Pavilion."
Lin Jinxing also nodded.
After the two learned what had happened, they planned to leave.
At this moment, Lao Zhou fell to his knees again with a plop.
"Please, my two benefactors, once you know who the murderer is, please let me know, so that the 482 lives lost in Zhoujia Village can be understood!"
After he finished speaking, he kowtowed three times.
Lin Hao asked: "Don't you want us to avenge you?"
Old Zhou raised his head, his eyes red as he said, "I can't drag you two into this. Even though I'm not a cultivator, I know how important the Tianji Pavilion is in the world of cultivation! You two have helped me a lot, and I don't want you to get into trouble with the Tianji Pavilion because of me."
"Then don't you want revenge?" Lin Jinxing used his spiritual energy to lift Lao Zhou up again, but this time Lao Zhou was unwilling to get up.
Lao Zhou struggled out of the spiritual energy and fell to his knees again.
"I want to! If it is possible, I would like to take revenge even if it costs my life! My two benefactors don't know that in the past three years, whenever the words on the cloth recording their conversation faded, I would re-paint them; and every time I re-painted them, my hatred would deepen a little!
But what's the use?
I know that even if I risk my life, I won't be able to touch a finger of the other person. How can an ant really shake a tree?
I am just an ordinary person, I can't do anything, I just want the truth! And it can only be the truth!
All I could do before was to live well, and wait until the day when I could tell the little clues I knew to someone worthy of trust.
I am very lucky that I have waited for you. I live in the hope that one day I will know the truth and report it to Cang Hai Wu Ya. Even if I lose my life or someone covers up for me, I want everyone to know the truth!"
Old Zhou kowtowed three times again.
Old Zhou continued, "I hope you two will tell me the truth after you learn it. I, Zhou Yongfeng, would like to thank you two!"
After Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing agreed and came out, they felt mixed emotions.
If it were Lin Hao himself, he would definitely seek revenge as soon as he knew who his enemy was. But for a mortal like Lao Zhou, it seemed reasonable. He did not have strong magical powers, so he naturally could not compete with the cultivators.
Just like what Lao Zhou said, how can a small ant really shake a big tree?
Lin Jinxing said: "If possible, let's tell the truth."
Lin Hao nodded, he knew what his senior brother meant.
If Lao Zhou went to file a complaint, the matter would most likely fall on deaf ears, and Lao Zhou might even lose his life because of it.
But if they said it, the impact would be much different.
The two went to the home of the official who had led the way before, and erased all his memories of leading the way to Lao Zhou before leaving the city.
After the two left, they still chose to wait in Zhoujia Village, even though they knew that the murderer was related to Tianji Pavilion and might even be a disciple of Tianji Pavilion.
But the two still wanted to go and find out if they could get some useful information.
For example, who massacred the village?
For example, in Zhoujia Village, what does Zhou Zijin’s last sentence, “I finally understand why I can’t pass the disciple-recruiting conference” mean?
For example, was this incident instigated by the Tianji Pavilion, or was it that person's own behavior? Was the Tianji Pavilion just trying to cover up the truth for that person?
Lin Hao looked at the piece of metal that Lao Zhou handed over and said, "Let's go find Jiaoyang later. He knows more about magic tools."
Although Lin Jinxing was unhappy, he didn't say anything.
I was just sulking by myself. I finally got rid of those guys, why are they following me again?
Because he was angry, even the speed of flying the sword slowed down a little.
Lin Hao noticed that his senior brother, who was originally walking side by side with him, slowed down a bit, so Lin Hao slowed down even more, wanting to wait for his senior brother.
But seeing that his junior fellow apprentice was slow, Lin Jinxing was even slower.
He was waiting, waiting for his junior brother to come closer and coax him, and then he would tell him about the next journey. He didn't want to bring Qian Duoduo and those guys with him.
Lin Hao glanced at his senior brother who had not caught up with him in confusion, flew to his side and asked, "Why are you flying so slowly? Is there something down there?"
When Lin Jinxing saw his junior brother flying over, his eyes lit up.
Hearing the question from his junior fellow apprentice, Lin Jinxing subconsciously replied, "No..."
Before Lin Jinxing could continue speaking, Lin Hao had already flown a few steps away and shouted loudly to Lin Jinxing behind him: "If there is no one, hurry up, Senior Brother! When we get there, the people from Tianji Pavilion will have already left!"
Lin Jinxing: “…”
Can't you ask a few more questions?
Seeing that his junior brother was flying farther and farther away and no longer paying any attention to him, Lin Jinxing had no choice but to follow him.
Forget it. It’s not like he doesn’t know his junior brother’s character. He has to endure having to kneel down when he chooses his Taoist partner.
Lin Hao's estimation was correct. Less than a day after the two of them arrived in Zhoujia Village, the people from Tianji Pavilion also arrived.
What disappointed Lin Hao was that he didn't hear any useful information.
When the man saw that Zhoujia Village had been purified, he left with a look of horror on his face.
After the disciples of Tianji Pavilion left, Lin Hao felt a little regretful. He had waited for so long, but in the end he heard a bunch of nonsense?
Lin Hao looked at the backs of the people walking away and asked Lin Jinxing, "Brother, do you think we should check the Tianji Pavilion first, or confirm the origin of this piece of metal first?"
Lin Jinxing replied: "Let's take advantage of the movement of Tianji Pavilion to check it out. There's no need to worry about the metal block. Lie Jiaoyang's people can't escape anyway."
"Okay." After hearing his senior brother's words, Lin Hao also felt that it made sense, so he and Lin Jinxing went to Tianji Pavilion to investigate.
"Ah!"
The scorching sun far in the north suddenly sneezed.
Seeing this, Qian Duoduo asked, "What's wrong? Don't tell me that your current level of cultivation will be frozen by this weather."
Lie Jiaoyang rubbed his nose. "What nonsense! I'm already in the Nascent Soul stage, how could I be frozen? If anyone is going to be frozen, it should be you who hasn't even reached the Nascent Soul stage yet."
Qian Duoduo: "..."
How did it escalate to personal attack?
