When he asked this, Qin Huaiyu's gaze trembled slightly, and Yang Yan's face already showed a slightly doubtful expression.
"On that day, she repelled a few thousand of us. After killing nearly a thousand of us, none of us dared to approach her. Subsequently, she vanished without a trace. None of us dared to chase after her." Yang Yan explained. After which, he looked at Yang Dingtian and asked, "Young Lord Wu Ming, why did you mention her?"
Yang Yan had already expressed his doubts in the latter half of the sentence.
If Yang Dingtian could not justify himself, then the situation would become dangerous again.
"Sister Ningning has already run away?
Is this Yang Yan lying? "
Yang Dingtian thought to himself. Then, he adjusted his emotions and said calmly to them, "Do you know why she could kill nearly a thousand of you?"
Yang Yan said, "Please enlighten me, Young Master Wu Ming."
"Because of the Deep Sea Xuan Poison," Yang Dingtian said calmly.
"Deep Sea Xuan Poison?" Yang Yan said in shock.
As for everyone present, their expressions changed.
Deep Sea Xuan Poison, the world's number one poison, Naga's last life-saving item.
If Ximen Ningning used Deep Sea Xuan Poison to kill them, then the whole thing would be troublesome and complicated.
"It's good that she ran away," Yang Dingtian sighed. "Her identity is too complicated, and her background is too big.
Even if she was captured, we really don't know what to do.
Before we figure out her identity, we can't kill her, let her go, or even lock her up.
She ran away herself, this is the best case scenario. "
"Then, then what is her background?" Yang Yan said with a trembling voice.
Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet, but her background is very big, maybe even bigger than mine."
Then, Yang Dingtian stood up and said, "Okay, anyway, don't talk about this woman in the future, just treat her as a taboo.
My elders have not made a final decision on how to treat this woman.
Let's wait until the sect confirms her true identity and makes a final decision about her. "
"Yes!" Yang Yan and the others said.
"Alright, that's all for today. Find me a room. I'll stay in Cloud Sky City for one night," Yang Dingtian said.
"Cloud Sky City is truly honored. Young Master Wu Ming, please wait for a moment. We will prepare the biggest banquet in history for you," Yang Yan said.
"No need."
Yang Dingtian said resolutely and decisively, "I don't want to see anyone. I'll just find a room and stay there for the night. I'll leave tomorrow.
The investigation into the disappearance of the Maori Barbarians is very urgent. I cannot delay it. "
"Yes!" Yang Yan and the others bowed.
Then, Yang Dingtian walked out.
When he reached the door, Yang Dingtian suddenly turned around and asked, "Elder Yang Dingtian, you still haven't answered me about the matter of Yang Dingtian participating in the martial arts contest for the castellan's position next year and handing over Black Blood Castle."
Yang Yan's expression changed slightly. He lowered his head and said, "Young Master Wu Ming, you also said that this is Cloud Sky City's internal affairs.
So, please give me one night and I'll give you a reply tomorrow. How about that? "
Yang Dingtian's heart suddenly jumped.
If he was the successor of the Hidden Sect, then Yang Yan's actions would be considered very rude.
Making himself qualified to participate in the martial arts contest for the castellan's position next year was only the first thing Yang Dingtian did when he came to Cloud Sky City.
Next, there were two other things. One was to see the thousand-year Black Fox Demon and ask about the Foxman Race's language.
Another thing was to obtain the third stage of the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship.
Furthermore, obtaining the third stage of the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship was the most important thing.
But now, he couldn't even complete the first thing.
…
Yang Yan personally brought Yang Dingtian to Tianbin Pavilion to rest.
"Young Master Wu Ming, have a good rest. I'll take my leave first," Yang Yan said. He looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.
Yang Dingtian said plainly, "There's only the two of us here. You can say whatever you want."
Yang Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Then forgive me for being presumptuous."
"Speak," Yang Dingtian said.
"Young Master Wu Ming knows Yang Dingtian?" Yang Yan asked.
Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, "I've heard of him, but I've never seen him before."
"Then why would Young Master Wu Ming protect him time and time again?"
Yang Yan said, "First, you rejected the decision to capture him. Then, you want him to participate in the martial arts contest for the castellan's position next year.
If you say it's for no reason, it's really hard to believe.
If not for your unique skills, to be honest, I can't help but suspect that you're Yang Dingtian. "
Once these words came out, Yang Dingtian's heart suddenly jumped.
Yang Yan's words were already very rude.
Yang Dingtian looked at him plainly and said, "That's right. There's indeed a reason."
"Then, may I be so bold as to ask, what's the reason?" Yang Yan stared at Yang Dingtian's face closely.
"Because the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship has a great relationship with the Hidden Sect. It might even be left behind by the seniors of the Hidden Sect," Yang Dingtian said plainly.
"What?" Yang Yan cried out in surprise, his face revealing an expression of disbelief.
"Actually, I came out this time for another important mission, which is to bring the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship back to the Hidden Sect."
Yang Dingtian stared at Yang Yan and said slowly, "This is a powerful and mysterious swordsmanship. I believe you've already felt its prowess, so it can't be left behind in the outside world."
Of course, Yang Yan felt it. Yang Dingtian learned the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship.
That kind of terrifying cultivation speed could be said to have overturned all of his knowledge, breaking the historical record that had never been seen in thousands of years.
Otherwise, why would they be so impatient and shameless to want to kill Yang Dingtian? It was because Yang Dingtian's cultivation speed was too shocking.
Yang Yan calmed down his astonished emotions, took a deep breath, and asked, "Then may I ask, what's your sect's attitude towards Yang Dingtian?"
"I can't tell you."
Yang Dingtian said coldly, "But there are two points. The swordsmanship that Yang Dingtian learned is related to our Hidden Sect, so he definitely can't be associated with Evil ways. The Hidden Sect will never allow such a thing to happen."
Yang Dingtian's meaning was very clear. Since Yang Dingtian couldn't be associated with Evil ways, then Cloud Sky City naturally didn't have the right to disqualify him from participating in next year's City Lord martial arts contest.
Yang Yan suddenly revealed a slightly strange smile and said, "You just said that you want to bring the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship back to the Hidden Sect. What if Yang Dingtian wants to learn the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship?"
Yang Dingtian, who was disguised as John Doe, turned around and said calmly, "That has nothing to do with us. What I'm concerned about is that Yang Dingtian can't be associated with Evil ways no matter what. We don't care about anything else.
Furthermore, if it's a swordsmanship left behind by the Hidden Sect, outsiders don't have the right to learn it. "
"Understood."
Yang Yan's eyes immediately revealed a trace of a smile as he asked, "What if Yang Dingtian is truly related to the Evil Dao?"
"There's no such possibility," Yang Dingtian said firmly, "Even if he's dead, there's no such possibility."
"I understand," Yang Yan said, "I'll give you a reply tomorrow."
"Okay!" Yang Dingtian said calmly with his back facing Yang Yan, "And the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship."
Yang Yan said, "I'll give you a reply tomorrow for the Pig Slaying Swordsmanship."
"Be quick," Yang Dingtian said calmly, "You have to know that we're very generous.
If you make things easy for us, I just have to move my mouth and Cloud Sky City will enjoy it endlessly. "
Yang Yan's face lit up and he nodded. "Yes, yes!
I'll take my leave! "
Then, Yang Yan bowed and left.
Obviously, the Northwest Qin Family had the final say in Cloud Sky City, so Yang Yan couldn't agree to Yang Dingtian's request directly.
***
The next morning, Yang Dingtian woke up early.
The beautiful maidservant had already delivered an exquisite and sumptuous breakfast, but Yang Yan, Tang Bozhao, and the others didn't appear.
Yang Dingtian suddenly felt a slight uneasiness in his heart. His current identity was Wu Ming, the successor of the Hidden Sect. The people of Cloud Sky City couldn't wait to curry favor with him, so it was inevitable for him to go to the Hidden Sect in the morning and evening.
Now that he had woken up at dawn, none of the important figures of Cloud Sky City had appeared.
This was a little abnormal.
Could it be that they had doubts about his identity?
Today, Yang Dingtian had another important matter, which was to meet the 1,000-year Black Fox enchanting and ask her about the Foxman Race's language.
However, as a disciple of the Hidden Sect, it was unreasonable for him to ask to meet a 1,000-year Black Fox.
Moreover, the existence of the enchanting was considered a secret even in Cloud Sky City. As an outsider, how could he know about the existence of the enchanting?
Therefore, he had to find a convincing reason.
Before coming to Cloud Sky City, Yang Dingtian had already thought of several reasons.
But now the situation had changed. Things didn't go as smoothly as he had imagined, so those reasons weren't sufficient.
Therefore, Yang Dingtian racked his brains to think of a reason to meet the enchanting naturally.
It was obviously impossible to sneak in without being discovered. There were countless pairs of eyes staring at the small building where he lived.
"Qin Huaiyu of the Northwest Qin Family is here to visit." At this moment, Qin Huaiyu's gentle and elegant voice came from outside.
Yang Dingtian's expression changed slightly, and his heart skipped a beat.
Qin Huaiyu … Since Yang Dingtian appeared as Wu Ming yesterday, he hadn't said a word.
Today, when the sun had just risen, he had actually come to visit. Why was that?
Did he discover something?
No matter what, Qin Huaiyu was undoubtedly the most dangerous person.
"Come in," Yang Dingtian said lightly.
This was the most dangerous person. He had to be 120% alert to deal with him.
…
"Qin Huaiyu greets Young Master Wu Ming." After entering, Qin Huaiyu bowed. His attitude was neither servile nor overbearing.
Yang Dingtian returned the bow and said lightly, "Young Master Qin, is there anything I can help you with?"
Yang Dingtian's character, Wu Ming, was an arrogant and indifferent person. Therefore, he didn't need to be so polite to Qin Huaiyu.
"I do have something to ask."
Qin Huaiyu also said directly, "I heard that the disciples of the Hidden Sect are all knowledgeable people. There is nothing in the world that they don't know and do. Therefore, I have something that I don't understand.
This was a test!
The hair on Yang Dingtian's back suddenly stood up!
The dangerous moment had arrived. Qin Huaiyu was going to test him.
Once Yang Dingtian answered incorrectly, he would most likely be exposed and put himself in a life-threatening situation.
Although his heart was tightly clenched, Yang Dingtian still had to play the role of Wu Ming very realistically.
He frowned slightly and said, "Speak."
Qin Huaiyu took out a white handkerchief and opened it gently on the table. "I obtained this by chance. It doesn't have much value.
However, I have always been interested in words. I know most of the words in the world. However, I don't know any of the words on this white handkerchief.
The disciples of the Hidden Sect are knowledgeable people. Can you solve my confusion? "
Yang Dingtian took a step forward and saw that there were indeed dozens of words on the white handkerchief.
Suddenly!
Yang Dingtian's heart skipped a beat!
Coincidence?!
Or was there some other reason?
Because the words on the white handkerchief were exactly the same as the words on Yang Dingtian's Earth Obsidian Flame map.
Although Yang Dingtian didn't know these words, he could tell at a glance that they were the same kind of words.
From the structure of the words, the style, and other aspects, he could tell at a glance.
Immediately after, Yang Dingtian also realized.
There were at least dozens of words on the handkerchief, and they were the same as the words on Yang Dingtian's Earth Obsidian Flame map.
Instantly, Yang Dingtian's heart skipped a beat.
He used all his strength to suppress his breathing and emotions so that Qin Huaiyu wouldn't be able to see any flaws.
Then, one thing could be proven now!
The other half of the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame map was in the hands of the Northwest Qin Family and Qin Huaiyu.
Yang Dingtian's half of the Obsidian Flame map was obtained by Ning Rou 'er from Li Tianxiao.
If the other half of the map was in Qin Huaiyu's hands, did that mean that the damned man who molested Ning Rou 'er and gave birth to little Ningning was the Qin Family's Young Lord, Qin Huaiyu?
