Chapter 14 Shocking News (Part 2)
"Who is that Xiao Wu? Why do you value him so much?" Yin He couldn't help asking Ji Honglian.
Ji Honglian said: "When you were with him in the inner ring, didn't you see anything wrong with him?"
Yin He thought about it and recalled all the details that the young man named "Xiao Wu" still remembered in his mind, and finally said: "I just remember that he was a young man with a round face, and there seemed to be nothing special about the others. But if you want to talk about some strange things, there is not nothing without..."
Ji Honglian's eyes lit up and she quickly asked, "What is it?"
Yin Hedao: "He is too young, and it is obvious that he has just entered the inner ring. That morning, I asked him specifically once, and he said he had only been in the inner ring for a month or two."
Ji Honglian frowned and said, "Is there anything wrong with this?"
Yin He explained to her: "The inner ring is very dangerous, but according to the degree of danger, it gradually increases from the outside to the inside. Therefore, newlyweds will usually be arranged to adapt to the outer edges such as the First and Second Qingyu Institute for a period of time, and then slowly distribute it to the depths of the inner ring according to the situation. When something happened that day, it was the territory of the Thirteen Four Qingyun Institute, and the place that was already the deepest into the inner ring. It can be said that it was extremely dangerous."
Speaking of this, he was silent for a moment, and then said to Ji Honglian: "Normal, Xiao Wu is obviously a newcomer, and it is impossible for him to be arranged to go to the same team as me."
Ji Honglian looked obviously nervous and asked in a low voice: "Are all the things you said true?"
"Of course it's true. What did I lie to you?" Yin He said, "Okay, you can tell me now, what is that Xiao Wu's identity?"
Ji Honglian hesitated for a moment, then looked back, and saw that there was no one at the gate, and the two original guards were still standing far outside the door. She then turned her head closer to Yin He, lowered her voice in a tiny voice that only Yin He could hear, and said softly: "He is the son of Elder Xiahou."
"What?"
Even though Yin He has always been calm and firm in his heart, he couldn't help but change his face when he suddenly heard this sentence.
※※※
The Holy City is the settlement of the human race, and the Presbyterian Church in the Holy City is a symbol of the highest power among all human races. The Presbyterian Church holds the highest power of the human race and determines everything about the human race.
There are not many members of the Presbyterian Church, with only three people in total. The three elders are Ji, Long and Xiahou. These three elders are highly respected among the human race, have their own Taoism and are extremely powerful. In the eyes of many ordinary people, they are almost like gods.
"But..." After the initial surprise, Yin He suddenly frowned, thought for a while and said to Ji Honglian, "Why do I seem to remember that Elder Xiahou Yuan seems to have no descendants?"
Ji Honglian said lightly: "The illegitimate son. The news that has only been spread in the circle of the nobles of the Holy City Family in recent years is unknown to anyone outside."
Yin He was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "No wonder, but in this way, wouldn't it be..."
He didn't say anything later, but his face suddenly became a little weird.
Ji Honglian was a smart woman. She suddenly understood the unfinished meaning of Yin He's words. She smiled faintly and said, "You are right. That Xiao Wu is actually the only descendant of Elder Xiahou."
Yin He was stunned for a while, then let out a long breath, but shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Why is this? Who is like their status... Well, I know, according to the rules, even the elders have no choice. But with the power of Elder Xiahou, why send his children to such a dangerous place as the inner ring?"
Ji Honglian snorted and said, "This matter shouldn't have been a problem. You know how safe the outermost part of Qingyu Institute is. Xiao Wu went there and should have stayed there forever, and there would be no accident at all. Then as long as he stayed for the first half of a year, he would naturally be recalled to the Holy City. Isn't this just a sufficient period of experience to show off?"
Yin He nodded slowly, suddenly looked at Ji Honglian with a look of surprise, and said, "Hey, you haven't seen each other for three years, why have you become so smart?"
Ji Honglian glared at him and said angrily: "Nonsense, I was so stupid back then."
Yin He smiled but didn't say anything, which seemed to have a bit of this meaning.
Ji Honglian was too lazy to argue with this man, so she continued to talk to herself, saying, "So, now you are under house arrest, probably want to ask about Xiao Wu. At least I think there is nothing wrong with what you said about the Black Demon Man. No matter what, Elder Xiahou is a member of the Presbyterian Church, and everyone always has to give him some face."
Yin He sighed and said, "It's so unlucky. I hope Elder Xiahou will not be knocked out by the pain of losing his son. He will vent his anger on me, an innocent person."
Ji Honglian said: "That probably won't be. Even I can see some suspicion about this matter, let alone the elders? The key to this matter must be someone who secretly transferred Xiao Wu from a safe area to a dangerous place on the front line. Unfortunately, the information from the inner ring and the Holy City are not allowed to be connected, and it is still a bit troublesome to check it out now."
Yin He's eyes flashed slightly, he picked up the wine pot in front of him and took a sip, saying, "If there is really this person, you dare to attack the descendants of a reigning elder. This courage and means are amazing..."
Ji Honglian sighed and said, "Who said no, so when my father told me about this yesterday, he also said that he was afraid that there would be storms in the Holy City again."
Yin He thought for a while, then suddenly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, those things have nothing to do with me. Anyway, you know that I am innocent, so wouldn't it be unfair to trap me here? So, go and notify my family quickly. After all, they are a famous holy city. Let them send people to pick them up. Even if they don't work once, I will go out."
Ji Honglian's face suddenly changed, and there seemed to be a faint pale flash, and she whispered: "That's it, then do you want me to go over and notify who will pick you up?"
"Old man, my old man." Yin He said casually, but then frowned, but shook his head, "Don't, I'd better not want him. When I left three years ago, he was fighting with the fox demon girl and gave birth to a son. I scolded him a few times. The fox spirit hated me so much that he was so angry that he was about to die. Now he went to look for him, but the woman found out that he would inevitably cause trouble again."
As he said that, he pondered for a moment and said to Ji Honglian: "Well, help me go to Yin's family and tell the old man about this, but when I find someone, you should go and find my elder brother." He laughed and said: "Although my elder brother has thought that I was useless since he was a child, and he always forced me to study and practice martial arts, but to be honest, after my mother passed away, he was the only one who would treat me well, after all, he was the brother of the relative. If he didn't protect me, his only brother, who else could he take care of, haha. It's him... Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Yin He showed a look of surprise on his face, looking at Ji Honglian, whose face suddenly turned pale in front of him, and looking at her bright and clear eyes suddenly seemed to lose its luster, and at the same time, an incredible look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Why... you, don't you know?" Ji Honglian looked at him in a daze, as if even the voice of her speech became dry.
Yin He suddenly felt his heart beating faster, as if he felt something was wrong, and even his breathing became a little nervous.
He laughed dryly, stared at Ji Honglian, trying to speak, but found that his voice suddenly became dry and hoarse, almost not like his accent, and even felt a little difficult to pronounce: "Hey, Xiao Honglian, don't act randomly, will it scare people know... "
