The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 194 Is this what you said you were afraid of?

  The two of them didn't talk much along the way, and soon arrived at the stronghold of the Four Elephant Sect in the city.

   This is not a branch of the Four Elephants Sect, and like Jianhu City, it is just a temporary residence, with a large house, mainly where Chi Chi's subordinate Qinglong Dharma Guardian Elder You and others are here.

  Seeing a woman in a winged fire snake mask and a Suzaku robe leading Zhao Changhe in, the eyeballs of Elder You and the others bulged.

   Suzaku glared at them, Elder You and the others were sweating profusely, bowing their heads and not daring to speak.

   Suzaku said: "Guardian You, are the Venerable and the Holy Maiden here?"

   "..." Elder You wiped his sweat: "The holy lady is out on business, your lord, your lord should be in the inner courtyard, right?"

Suzaku was very satisfied with Elder You's awakening, turned to Zhao Changhe and said, "Ask them about Cui Yuanyang's whereabouts, I'll go to the inner courtyard to report to His Holiness, see if she has anything to say to you, don't go away on your own, Disrespectful, it would not be nice for His Holiness to get angry at that time."

  Zhao Changhe said helplessly: "Do I look like such a rude person, you just go."

  Elder You and the others stared at each other, Suzaku hurried to the inner courtyard, put on the Suzaku mask, thought for a while, found another set of sacrificial robes with slightly different patterns, and looked at the bronze mirror.

  The Winged Fire Serpent mask covers the whole face, including the lips, so you can't see anything.

   Suzaku's own mask is a half face, the tip of the nose ends in the shape of a bird's beak, and the lower lip is greased.

   "Sexy lips... what a weird description." Suzaku whispered to himself strangely: "What does this word refer to?"

  No matter what it refers to, it is always right to say that it is good-looking anyway. If you can speak, say more.

   Suzaku admired it for a while before strolling out.

   Arriving in the hall, Zhao Changhe heard Zhao Changhe's amplified voice: "Going to kill Yang Yang?"

  Elder You said: "Uh, we are also worried about the saint, and want to talk to the venerable about canceling this mission. At this time, Cui Yuanyang is surrounded by experts, unless we go all out and fight hard... there is no need for this."

   "What?" Suzaku walked out coldly, her voice was lazier and seductive again, but it contained biting coldness: "Is it necessary? Is it up to Elder Ni You?"

   "Don't dare." Elder You and the others knelt down on the ground: "We are worried about the saint, even if this campaign is successful, it will be difficult for her to escape. If it must be carried out, I implore the venerable to go to support it."

  In the midst of kneeling down, Zhao Changhe standing there looked very eye-catching. Suzaku's eyes fell on him, but his calm attitude was a little strange: "You have nothing to say?"

  Zhao Changhe was taken aback before, but soon calmed down.

  How could Chichi really do it? Besides, this task is weird, and I suspect that Suzaku is not sincere at all, and there is a high probability that he is testing Chichi and his old relationship?

Hearing Suzaku's question, Zhao Changhe said: "I believe that your religion will not want their saintess to be a fool who knows she can't do it but wants to die. Based on my understanding of Chi Chi, if this task cannot be completed, I will naturally give up. On the contrary Don’t worry too much. If I have something to say to His Holiness, it’s something else.”

   Suzaku said coldly: "Say."

   "If Chichi and I have an old relationship, let the saint who has worked so hard to go to danger to die, so regardless of the severity... Then the pattern of the venerable will really disappoint me."

   Suzaku stared at him coldly, and Zhao Changhe also looked at him coldly.

   Suzaku suddenly wanted to go around behind him to see if he was sweating.

   Do you have heart palpitations?

  You said you were afraid of me... that's it?

  For the safety of the delay, scolding the person you fear most in your heart?

   "I have my own considerations, don't think everything is related to me, self-righteous." Suzaku finally said lightly: "Of course, just in case, this seat should also go to respond immediately. As for you..."

  She paused: "The Winged Fire Snake talked to me a little bit. If I have something to ask you, you can go with me and talk about it on the way. Let's go."

   After speaking, he waved his sleeves and went out first.

  Although the attitude was cold, the result was okay. Zhao Changhe really broke out in a cold sweat, and followed out honestly: "Where is the Winged Fire Snake?"

   "She's done her mission, so she's off to do other things. You ask her what she's doing?" Suzaku flew away, sneering, "Could it be that you fell in love with her?"

Zhao Changhe chased after him, very speechless: "I'm not sick, and I don't know what I look like. Who can fall in love with a snake? Let me say, my lord, I understand that the senior leaders of your sect can't just talk about feelings. I have been afraid of well ropes for ten years, but don't be nervous about anything, so it won't happen."

   Suzaku pretended not to hear what he was talking about, and continued to ask, "She said Wang Daozhong troubled her, but you stood in front of her and confronted Wang Daozhong, why?"

Zhao Changhe was very helpless: "She was just ordered to ask me a few questions. She didn't do anything wrong, so why did she call for beating and killing? Because of her identity as the Four Elephant Sect? I don't think there is anything wrong with her identity, at least Compared with the Wang family, the Four Elephant Sect is not necessarily a villain."

   Suzaku finally stopped talking, flitted coldly for a while, and suddenly became impatient: "You are too slow."

  Zhao Changhe: "..."

   Suzaku suddenly reached out and grabbed his back collar, Zhao Changhe was grabbed before he even raised the consciousness of resistance, and then disappeared outside the city in an instant.

   Suzaku's sneer faintly came from the wind: "If you are so weak, who gave you the confidence to talk eloquently in front of me!"

  Zhao Changhe was held by the back of Fate's neck, and he simply held his arms without struggling or refuting.

   It is true that she is more efficient, so she went to persuade the fight earlier, but don't really have an accident. At this moment, she doesn't care about her own face.

  The gap in practice is too big. Although the lightness kung fu taught by Tang Wanzhuang has made up for a lot of shortcomings in this area, but facing Suzaku, it is still not the same.

  Including her grabbing and mentioning, she really didn't even have the consciousness to dodge in time, it was too fast.

   As expected, he is the strongest and most feared person in his mind.

But this time we met, I was not as scared as I was before. I don’t know why... She is still very cold, but somehow she doesn’t seem to be looking down so much. In the past, her gaze was no different from looking at ants, but now she is not. Ants, like carrying a cat.

  Her attitude seems to be the same, with the same contempt, is the difference in my heart?

  Maybe it’s because I’m now famous? Or is it because of familiarity with Tang Wanzhuang? Tang Wanzhuang's ranking is actually one rank higher than Suzaku's, and he is sick, so once he recovers, he should be much better than Suzaku. After getting acquainted with her and looking at Suzaku again, will there be no fear of looking up at the mountain?

  But Suzaku suddenly said: "If I invite you to join the teaching and take the top spot, would you be willing?"

  Zhao Changhe came back to his senses, and wondered: "What kind of chair?"

   "There are still vacancies in the twenty-eight mansions. If you do the corresponding star constellations, you can learn related exercises. And the twenty-eight mansions are also high-level in the teaching, with great authority."

  For example, the Winged Hydra is vacant, and the mask has not been sent out.

   What Zhao Changhe thought of was Wan Dongliu's sudden stab like an underwater poisonous snake at the beginning, and his last slip like an earthworm. Both offensive and defensive ends seemed to be stronger than his water gang skills.

  But he still shook his head: "I have failed His Holiness' good intentions, and I will not join the religion."

  You can clearly feel the tightness of the hand holding the back of the neck, and the murderous intent coming from around you is real: "Why? Do you look down on me, Sixiang Sect?"

   "No, I have already told Winged Fire Serpent that I don't have any belief in gods. It stands to reason that His Holiness should not think that I am suitable for teaching."

   Suzaku fell silent.

  It is really inappropriate to talk about this point alone, but his other remarks are very appropriate, especially the long-term goal, which can be regarded as a reasonable person.

  As for beliefs that can be built up slowly, it is not a big problem.

   But since he has no faith, he naturally doesn't want to join the religion. Why should a well-known hero of the world bear the identity of a demon cult? This is normal.

  It is a question of what attitude to take towards him. It is absolutely inappropriate to force him into a religion, nor is it appropriate to lure him with a profit. If he can be lured by a profit, he is easy to betray, and those who are not Daoist, the Four Elephant Sect basically does not do this kind of thing.

  So the Four Elephant Sect would rather be short than excessive, and the number of people is much worse than that of the Maitreya Sect. Mainly in the form of subordinates and non-staff, like the Blood God Cult, to supplement the shortage of manpower, the core congregation has never been many. At the beginning, Zhao Changhe would not be casually brought into the Four Elephant Sect. The main reason was this, and it was not entirely because of contempt.

  This matter still needs to be considered.

   While thinking about it, smoke and dust appeared in front of him.

  Cui’s motorcade was there, and two girls could be seen from a distance, walking side by side, smiling.
