The "two" daren that Feng Lun spoke of were of course Lei Muyan and Eunuch Gao. Leng Shiqi had already expected that these two would be summoned.
After all, the collapse of the Minor Chaos Paradise was inextricably linked to him. Sooner or later, he would be called over for an explanation.
However, he was not too worried. After all, he could be considered to be riding on Eunuch Gao's ship. As long as his crime was not too serious, there was still a high chance that he could get away with it.
Leng Shiqi walked into the main hall of the City Lord's residence. Eunuch Gao and Lei Muyan were sitting at the top. As soon as he walked in, he saw Lei Muyan's frosty expression, and his heart immediately thumped.
"Liu Xingzhi." Lei Muyan's voice was as cold as ice.
"This lowly one is here." Leng Shiqi bowed and said honestly.
Lei Muyan was not angry, but she exuded the dignity of a superior. She said sternly, "Do you know your crime?!"
Leng Shiqi raised his head and glanced at her, his attitude neither servile nor overbearing. "What crime has this lowly one committed?"
"Hmph!
You dared to destroy the Minor Chaos Paradise. Do you know that this item is an important treasure of the Imperial Court? Even if you had ten lives, it would not be enough to compensate for it! "
"This, there's such a thing?" Leng Shiqi immediately revealed an innocent expression. "When did this lowly one destroy the Minor Chaos Paradise?
Besides, with this lowly one's insignificant cultivation base, how could this lowly one have the ability to do so? "
Lei Muyan narrowed her eyes. "According to common sense, you would indeed not be able to do so. So I really want to know what you did at the last moment of the Stairway to Heaven."
Hearing this, Leng Shiqi's heart moved. "So they don't know what happened at the end."
Since that was the case, he felt much more at ease.
"Perhaps the final black sphere was too powerful. The power of our all-out attack was too great, resulting in the collapse of the Minor Chaos Paradise," Leng Shiqi said casually.
"Nonsense!"
Lei Muyan's tone became even colder. "That black sphere only looked extremely powerful. In fact, it was just a test of your temperament. Even if it fell, you would not have suffered any injuries!
You'd better answer honestly, or else I'll use some tricks! "
Leng Shiqi paused, feeling as if he was holding back a mouthful of blood. He realized that the black sphere was just an empty shell.
Everyone thought that he was going to die. Otherwise, he would not have tried so hard to fuse the Great Radiance Fist and the Black Lotus Demonic Fist.
"In the end, you reap what you sow," Leng Shiqi said to himself.
However, he felt that something was amiss. If that black sphere was really just a facade, then his fused spiritual technique alone wouldn't be enough to destroy the Minor Chaotic Paradise.
Therefore, he really didn't know what was going on.
He answered truthfully, "I really don't know. At that time, everyone was fighting with their lives on the line and didn't pay too much attention to other things."
"Crackle!" The hall suddenly flashed with traces of lightning, causing sparks in the air.
Lei Muyan's eyes were also filled with lightning, as if she could turn the Leng Shiqi into ashes with just a blink of her eyes!
At this moment, Eunuch Gao's palm moved slightly, as if it came from the underworld, the cold air of hell rose up, instantly eliminating the lightning.
"Princess, there's no need to be angry. Attacking a junior is too beneath your status," Eunuch Gao said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
The lightning in Lei Muyan's eyes grew even more intense as she said, "Manager Gao, you and I saw it clearly back then. It was Liu Xingzhi who caused the collapse of the Minor Five Elements Chaos Paradise. Could it be that you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with him?"
"Perhaps it has something to do with him, or perhaps it doesn't. After all, the Minor Chaotic Paradise was originally a defective product. If the Five Elements were out of balance, it would only be a matter of time before it collapsed."
"You make it sound nice. In any case, it wasn't destroyed by your hands. Of course you don't care!" When Lei Muyan thought of the punishment she would receive when she returned, the anger in her heart could not be vented.
Eunuch Gao's lips moved slightly, but this time, he didn't make a sound. Instead, he transmitted his voice to Lei Muyan.
Leng Shiqi raised his head slightly. When Eunuch Gao opened his mouth, he knew that this matter would most likely be suppressed. He glanced at Lei Muyan's expression and discovered that she had heard something. Her expression had also calmed down.
Then, she gave Leng Shiqi a meaningful look, saying, "You brat, your fortune is not shallow. To be able to catch Manager Gao's eye, let's put this matter aside for now. We have plenty of time in the future."
After saying that, she got up and left with a flick of her sleeves.
"That's it?" Leng Shiqi thought to himself, "I wonder what benefits Eunuch Gao gave her?"
After Lei Muyan left, Eunuch Gao raised his hand and formed a soundproof barrier, saying, "Speak, how did you cause the Yin and Yang of the Minor Chaotic Paradise to be out of balance?"
Leng Shiqi took out a Jade Slip. Recorded within it was the Plucking Flower!
He said, "Shizun, at that time, disciple had no choice but to use the Black Lotus Demonic Fist and this Spiritual Skill. Later on, something seemed to have happened to the two Spiritual Skills. However, whether or not this was the cause of the Five Elements being out of balance, disciple does not know.
In addition, disciple tried again yesterday, but disciple was unable to use these two Spiritual Skills at the same time. "
Eunuch Gao hooked his finger, and the Jade Slip flew directly into his hand. He looked at the Plucking Flower chant, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
This was the first time he had seen a Spiritual Skill like the Plucking Flower, and he had never heard of it before.
"Plucking Flower, Black Lotus Demonic Fist?
Is there a connection between these two? "
Eunuch Gao thought to himself. He looked deeply at Leng Shiqi, his eyes without any color, as if he was looking at a stone.
Leng Shiqi knew that this was the most crucial moment. If Eunuch Gao believed him, then he would pass this test.
What he said was seventy percent true and thirty percent false. This kind of combination of truth and falsehood was the most difficult to distinguish.
"Haha."
Eunuch Gao suddenly laughed dryly, saying, "You don't know, but the Minor Chaotic Paradise's origin is extraordinary. Inside, you can be more in tune with Heaven and Earth. You may have comprehended something when you are between life and death, but it is not so easy in the outside world.
However, if you concentrate on comprehending it, you will be able to reach that step sooner or later. "
Eunuch Gao's words made Leng Shiqi relax. Eunuch Gao's explanation meant that he temporarily believed him, but as for whether he truly believed him, he did not know.
On the contrary, Eunuch Gao's words made him understand why he did not restore the Spiritual Skill to its original state. The original Minor Chaotic Paradise also had the wondrous effect of being closer to Heaven and Earth. He also remembered that the threads seen by his Nascent Spirit could not be seen in the outside world.
Thus, he even wanted to go in and stay for a while longer.
Eunuch Gao leaned back slightly, leaning against the back of his chair. "You have also obtained many Soul Stones in the Minor Chaotic Paradise, so passing the test should not be a problem. You will definitely go to the Imperial Capital, and at that time, you will have to help me do something."
Leng Shiqi knew that this was the price Eunuch Gao had to pay for helping him, so he immediately agreed without hesitation. However, he suddenly remembered that he had also promised Lian Ye to do something.
"Looks like the trip to the Imperial Capital will be quite troublesome." He smiled bitterly to himself.
