After getting in the car, Elder Luo cleared his throat and took the initiative to start a conversation.
"Both of you, I won't sell you the case anymore. Based on the information I have, that young man is most likely not a member of Wudang Sect. However, he has an irreplaceable influence in the martial arts world. I only hope that even if he really isn't a member of Wudang Sect, both of you can at least save some face …"
"Huh?" Hearing this request, Third Elder and Fifth Elder couldn't help but be stunned.
Before they could say anything, the young man at the side was a little unhappy. "Elder Luo, it's not that I want to say this, but you're the one who asked us to come and now you're the one pleading for leniency. What do you mean by this?"
Qiu Zhichen was an outstanding talent of the younger generation of Wudang Sect, and because he had stayed in Wudang Sect for a long time, he was naturally arrogant and condescending. After coming to the secular world, not only did he not restrain himself, he even showed signs of becoming more and more aggressive.
"Zhi Chen, if you continue to be so impudent, then get lost!"
The Fifth Elder was obviously a little annoyed. If the old man in front of him was just a mayor or a provincial governor, it wouldn't matter if he was a little arrogant. However, he was the second-in-command of Hua Xia. Even if the Sect Leader was here, he wouldn't speak in such a tone. He was really arrogant and didn't know what was good for him.
Seeing his master so angry, Qiu Zhichen smiled awkwardly.
"Apologize immediately," the Fifth Elder said in a low voice. Although he was not very willing, Qiu Zhichen did as he was told.
"I'm sorry, Elder Luo. It's my fault for being rude."
Elder Luo smiled. "It's alright, it's alright."
In fact, from Qiu Zhichen's point of view, rather than Elder Luo personally receiving him at the airport, it would be better to send some beautiful women. After all, most of the WuTang Sect disciples were male. Qiu Zhichen had tagged along mainly because he wanted to get some fresh air and take a look at the girls in the city. If possible, it would be best if he could find an opportunity to indulge himself.
Although he was one of the best of the big martial arts sects, he also had some unspeakable difficulties. Although Wudang was not as strict as Shaolin, under normal circumstances, they still did not allow their disciples to go out as they pleased. The more outstanding the disciple, the more rules and regulations they had to follow. This was the exact opposite of the Jianghu.
Just as they were leaving for Zhongnanhai, someone from the guard station came to pick me up.
Perhaps it was because they knew of my deeds in the capital, but they were clearly afraid of me.
"Don't be nervous, we are from the Dragon Group." They showed a sign with the word "dragon" engraved on it.
"Cough, cough. It seems that you are the ones who are nervous." I noticed that the two of them had stiff expressions and were maintaining a safe distance from me.
"Hmph, kid, I'm warning you first. Don't you dare try anything funny. Otherwise, you'll be even more guilty. I'll warn you first. Even if you're powerful, you won't be able to escape from our Dragon Group's pursuit!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with you." I revealed a smile.
Very soon, the two of them handcuffed me. Although they were specially made, they couldn't restrain me. To put it bluntly, it was just a formality.
Presently I followed them out of the house.
As for the two idiots, I knocked them out and stuffed them under the bed. Although I didn't get any useful information from them, at least I knew that the Japanese wanted to kill me.
Of course, I still felt that there were spies from the Japanese in the upper class of the capital. This didn't seem to have much of an effect, but at a critical moment, it could be a severe blow.
If possible, I'd like to have Minister Wu investigate it. But then again, I'm a suspect now. Before I clear my name, I'm no longer that glorious genius martial artist. I'm very clear about this in my heart.
Maybe after I was in trouble, those fellows who were on good terms with me might even step on me in order to eliminate the suspicion of being an accomplice.
Of course, these were things that could not be avoided. The simplest example would be a person who held great power. When he was proud of his success, he would definitely be surrounded by praises. When he fell into the abyss, he would have to face a completely different situation.
Sigh, I didn't dare to think about the worst. If I was locked up for ten days to half a month, the border would definitely not be able to hold on. My promise to Pavilion Master Sui to represent the True Martial Hall in the promotion competition would also become a bubble.
The most frightening thing was that the Blood Demon could grow unscrupulously. With the current martial arts environment, it was unrealistic to want to eliminate the Blood Demon who possessed the Hellfire Mirror. If things went wrong, blood would flow like a river and corpses would be everywhere.
To be honest, I didn't dare to think about it too deeply. If I had come to the capital and confessed earlier, instead of waiting for the Dragon Group to find out, the situation might have been different. At this point, I basically couldn't explain myself. I also didn't know why they came to find me today.
I got into the car and went to Zhongnanhai under the custody of the Dragon Group.
As soon as I crossed the bridge, I felt the mixed aura of many strong masters. There was also a trace of familiarity.
After a few turns, I arrived at the courtyard again. It turned out to be Grandmaster Chen and Pavilion Master Sui. No wonder I felt familiar.
They weren't the only ones here. Elder Xu, Elder Li, Elder Peng, and Department Head Wu were all here. From their concerned gazes, I could tell that they didn't have any intention of hitting me while I was down. I was slightly surprised. Then, I realized that they were here to protect me.
As the saying went, strength in numbers. They all had high status in the capital. However, this matter was of great importance. If one of them spoke for me alone, they would be easily accused. Coming together would make them more influential.
They were originally chatting with Instructor Jiang, but the atmosphere became strange when they saw me.
I didn't take the initiative to greet Elder Pei. I had a feeling that he was prejudiced against me.
"Young man, the people from the Wudang Sect are already on their way. If you have anything to say, you'd better say it now. Otherwise, you'll be exposed later. That would be awkward," Elder Pei said to me.
