Chapter 1584: Night Exploration (3)
Knock knock!
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a man asked outside the door, "Pavilion Master, are you okay?"
Ling Chen secretly complained to himself, but he was still a step slower. If someone outside notices something unusual in the room, they will definitely rush in. At that time, his plan will not only be ruined, but may also affect Song Ge.
Woowoo...... Su Mei shook her fist desperately, struggling while pounding Ling Chen's body.
"Miss Su, don't move. Ling Chen had no choice but to shout.
Hearing Ling Chen's voice, Su Mei was slightly stunned, and looked at Ling Chen in disbelief, "Are you ......?"
Ling Chen smiled bitterly and reached out to take off the mask on his face, revealing a helpless expression.
"Miss Su, it's me, I'm ......"
Before Ling Chen's words were finished, the knock on the door became louder and louder, and became more and more urgent, "Pavilion Master, please open the door and let us in." β
Su Mei looked at Ling Chen quietly, as if she hadn't heard the shouting outside the door. After a while, Su Mei patted Ling Chen's hand covering his mouth and motioned for him to take it away. Ling Chen sighed secretly, there was no other way but to do as he could. If Su Mei didn't say anything, those people outside would definitely break in.
If it were someone else, he could threaten him. However, in the face of Su Mei, a former friend, he was a little unable to do it.
At this moment, Su Mei sat up from the bed, looked at Ling Chen next to him, and glanced at him angrily. Then, she got up and walked to the living room, shouting at the people outside the door, "Don't knock, don't let people rest?"
"Pavilion Master, we just heard movement in the room, may I ask ......?"
"I'm fine, I don't have to worry about you. Su Mei said impatiently: "It's late, don't disturb my rest." β
"Yes. β
Listening to the conversation between Su Mei and the guards outside the door, Ling Chen couldn't help but be taken aback. He also thought that Su Mei would ask someone to catch him. Looking at Su Mei who returned to the bedroom, Ling Chen opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he heard Su Mei say: "No need to make a fuss, I am now a prisoner under house arrest, I have no power, there is no need to get along with you." After a pause, Su Mei asked, "Say, you ran to my room in the middle of the night, what do you want to do secretly?"
"I'm here looking for something. β
"Looking for what?"
Ling Chen hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Miss Su, don't ask, I don't know how to answer you." "He can't tell Su Mei that he wants to find evidence that is unfavorable to Tianji Pavilion. Su Mei is the pavilion master of Tianji Pavilion, and he will never allow outsiders to infringe on the interests of Tianji Pavilion.
However, as smart as Su Mei, how could he not guess Ling Chen's thoughts, "No matter what you are looking for, it will definitely be something that is not good for Tianji Pavilion." I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, though, I don't have anything here. β
"Miss Su, you are the pavilion master of Tianji Pavilion, why are you under house arrest?"
"It was my grandfather's decision. β
"Why did he do this? You are the master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, why is he putting you under house arrest?"
Su Mei sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "I have different ideas from my grandfather, so I was placed under house arrest by him." After the words fell, Su Mei looked at Ling Chen and said, "Can you talk to me?" These days, I have been locked in my room alone, I can't go anywhere, and I don't even have anyone to talk to. β
Ling Chen nodded, not refusing Su Mei's request.
At that moment, the two came to the living room, Su Mei made two cups of tea, sat next to Ling Chen, and said softly: "Ling Chen, do you think there is still a need for Tianji Pavilion to continue to exist?"
Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Su Mei to ask such a question.
"Miss Su, you are the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, this kind of thing shouldn't come out of your mouth. β
"There are no outsiders here, just me and you. Ling Chen, I don't have many friends, you are one of them, I can't find anyone else except to talk to you. β
Ling Chen sorted out his words and said, "Miss Su, since you want to talk to someone, then I might as well tell you the truth." The current Tianji Pavilion is different from the past, and the previous Tianji Pavilion existed for the peace of the martial arts. However, the current Tianji Pavilion has become a self-centered force, and everything it does is to consolidate its position. In order to achieve this goal, Tianji Pavilion can do whatever it takes. What do you think...... Is there still a reason for such a Heavenly Machine Pavilion to exist?"
"Tianji Pavilion......" Su Mei bit her thin lips lightly and said, "Grandpa is right, sometimes I'm too naΓ―ve. I always thought that I was the pavilion master of Tianji Pavilion, and everything was under my control. However, it wasn't until recently that I realized that I, the Pavilion Master, were nothing. The three major components of Tianji Pavilion, Tianji Pavilion, Yangxin Pavilion, and ...... Aquila Pavilion. As the Pavilion Master, the only thing I can really control is the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, and the people in the Heart Cultivation Pavilion don't take me very seriously, as for the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion, I only recently learned about its existence. For so many years, my grandfather never mentioned it to me. Only by taking over the Sky Eagle Pavilion can he truly grasp the real power. However, after my father passed on the position of Pavilion Master to me, he did not tell me anything about the Aquila Pavilion. Not only that, but Grandpa also took back control of the Sky Eagle Pavilion. β
"Miss Su, do you know what the Sky Eagle Pavilion specializes in?" Ling Chen asked.
"I've read some records that the main task of the Aquila Pavilion is to discover potential threats, monitor the target, and if necessary, take some necessary means to protect the interests of the Aquila Pavilion. β
Ling Chen smiled, "Miss Su, the record you saw was too subtle. To put it bluntly, the Sky Eagle Pavilion is a group of killers who specialize in helping the Sky Machine Pavilion eradicate dissidents. For so many years, why has the Heavenly Machine Pavilion been safe and sound, and no one has openly resisted the Heavenly Machine Pavilion? The reason is very simple, these people have all been killed by the people of the Heavenly Eagle Pavilion. β
Su Mei's face changed, and he shook his head and said, "Impossible." β
"Nothing is impossible, all the dirty things Tianji Pavilion has done, because of their existence, Tianji Pavilion can always maintain a positive image in front of the world. You must know what happened recently, and the struggle between the Tianji Pavilion and the Dragon and Tiger Guild Hall is about to break out. Just a few days ago, dozens of martial arts people who had formed an alliance with the Dragon and Tiger Guild Hall were brutally poisoned. Do you think these are all coincidences?"
"You have been locked in your room for the past few days and have not gone out, you may not know that there are many more unfamiliar faces in Tianji Pavilion, and those should be people from Tianji Pavilion. β
"It must have been Grandpa's order. β
Ling Chen nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Elder Su has already made a decision and is ready to wash the entire martial arts in blood." Only in this way can he ensure the interests of Tianji Pavilion and not let the status of Tianji Pavilion be affected. β
