Just thinking about the result made Wang Jiahao shudder.

The long-term comfortable life finally paralyzed Wang Jiahao's mind, making his thinking slow and no longer as sharp as before.

"Thank you, Brother Xu, for reminding me."

Wang Jiahao clasped his fists seriously and said, "I remember this favor."

"That's enough small talk, let's talk about work."

Xu Feng nodded and looked around: "Where are the people from Wuji Sect?"

"Didn't they leave long ago?"

Wang Jiahao was stunned when he heard this.

"Most of the disciples left, but Xu Zhen and Xu Chun stayed. After all, what happened here is inseparable from the Wuji Sect."

Xu Feng's tone was understated: "How about we go meet those two people?"

"OK."

Wang Jiahao is a man of good deeds.

Soon, the two met the Xu brothers at the entrance of Yulouyuan.

Although Xu Feng and the Xu brothers both have the surname Xu, they have never interacted with each other before. Fortunately, Wang Jiahao acted as the mediator to prevent the atmosphere from being too stiff and cold.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Xu Zhen got straight to the point and asked: "According to the agreement between the leader of the inferior sect and leader Lin, what happened today will not be spread to outsiders. You two should know that, right?"

"Very clear."

Xu Feng said neither humble nor arrogantly: "It's just that people here have a lot of talk. If we want to block the news, the three of us must cooperate."

"Um...let me express my opinion first."

As a small shrimp sandwiched between the two behemoths of Wu Meng and Wuji Sect, Wang Jiahao still felt a lot of pressure even though he relied on the Baolin Sect.

He rubbed his hands and said carefully: "I will sternly warn all staff and ask them to sign a confidentiality agreement. They are all ordinary people and should not have the courage to spread it everywhere. What do you think of this handling method?"

"Okay." Xu Feng pondered for a moment and nodded.

Xu Zhen and Xu Chun exchanged glances and agreed with Wang Jiahao's approach.

"Not many people in the Martial Alliance know the specific situation. They are all members of the Guards Division. They have received professional confidentiality training for a long time. They are loyal and reliable. There is no need to worry at all."

Xu Feng looked directly at Xu Zhen's handsome face and said meaningfully: "Some of you in Wuji Sect may be very dissatisfied with the result."

Xu Zhen's eyes suddenly flashed with a haze.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that Xu Feng was right.

Gong Yuanlong died easily, but left a mess that was difficult to clean up.

As the powerful deputy sect leader, many disciples in the Wuji Sect have received guidance and favors from Gong Yuanlong.

Not to mention those elder cadres who were cultivated and promoted by Gong Yuanlong.

Perhaps intimidated by the prestige and power of the sect leader Chen Hanzhou, the elders and disciples did not dare to object openly, but it was inevitable to make some small moves in private.

No one dares to question Chen Hanzhou's authority, so Xu Zhen and Cheng Feng must bear the brunt.

Because they chose to stand by and watch when Gong Yuanlong needed help.

What worries Xu Zhen the most is the attitude of Peng Xiangyun, the other deputy sect leader.

If Peng Xiangyun also blames them for Gong Yuanlong's death, then unless Chen Hanzhou personally comes forward to clarify, they will never stand a chance.

However, Chen Hanzhou has a character that doesn't care about anything. He is obsessed with martial arts and has been in seclusion all year round.

So Xu Zhen can only rely on himself.

Moreover, Xu Zhen still has some selfish motives.

He hopes to fill the vacancy left by Gong Yuanlong.

The deputy sect leader with real power will arouse the jealousy of many people.

The road is bumpy and the challenges are daunting.

The only thing Xu Zhen can do now is to minimize the impact of the assassination on Wuji Sect, do a good job in the aftermath, and use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Peng Xiangyun and other elders.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhen took a deep breath and said half-heartedly: "Director Xu doesn't have to worry about the Wuji Sect. I will take care of it."

"I just want to remind you so that all your efforts will not be wasted in the end."

Xu Feng shrugged his shoulders: "Since you can handle it well, then just pretend I didn't say it."

****

A few hundred meters away from Yulouyuan, there is an old courtyard house.

In the courtyard, Wang Shuye, Yu Jin, and Yan Ling gathered together and looked out through the gap in the closed door, all with nervous expressions on their faces.

Behind the three people, Fu Qinghou stood with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the gloomy sky.

"It seems that Gong Yuanlong really failed."

Uncle Wang spoke coldly at night, with unconcealable disappointment in his tone.

"Yulouyuan was surrounded by people from the Guards. Fortunately, we didn't go."

Yu Jin looked a little lucky, and then turned to Fu Qinghou and said: "Master Fu, you have the foresight to save our lives again."

Fu Qinghou's face was calm, without any obvious emotion.

He smiled lightly: "In the future, please don't call me Master Fu. The Martial Alliance has become a thing of the past. If you are willing, you can call me Qing Hou."

The three people opposite looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After being silent for three or four seconds, Yan Ling covered her mouth and coughed a few times, then said seriously: "Brother Qinghou, I have two things that I don't understand. I hope you can clarify them for me."

"But it doesn't hurt to ask."

"How did you learn about Gong Yuanlong's plan, and why do you think he will fail?"

"I have my own source of information. In order to keep it confidential, it is not convenient for me to tell you for the time being. I hope you can forgive me for this. At the same time, it is also for your safety."

The smile on Fu Qinghou's lips remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "As for why he thinks Gong Yuanlong will fail, it's very simple. He is just a trapped beast still fighting, and a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry."

Yan Ling asked: "So you didn't think highly of him from the beginning?"

Fu Qinghou nodded: "That's right."

Yan Ling and Yu Jin looked at each other, their expressions were a bit off.

Because it was Fu Qinghou's suggestion when he went to Gong Yuanlong to cooperate.

Yu Jingcheng, who was deeper in the palace, did not immediately raise any questions. On the contrary, Yan Ling was straightforward and blurted out: "Since Brother Qinghou is not optimistic about Gong Yuanlong, why did he ask us to find him?"

"Of course I'm treating you as pawns to explore the path."

Fu Qinghou thought to himself.

However, he would definitely not say that.

After all, Yu Jin and Yan Ling are quite capable but stupid, and lack enough self-awareness. Where can they find such useful tools?

"I really really wanted to cooperate with Gong Yuanlong at that time."

Fu Qinghou's thoughts were spinning, but he put on a sincere look on his face: "Think about it, Gong Yuanlong is the deputy leader of Wuji, he has a high position, and he is at odds with Lin Zhong. Isn't he the best ally?"

"That makes sense."

Yan Ling nodded while listening.

"So, when did Brother Qinghou change his mind?" Wang Shuye asked, squinting his eyes.

"It was when I heard that he was planning to assassinate Lin Zhong."
