After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 509 A Hidden Case

"What dangerous thing are you talking about? Is it related to Ji Ling Shuang?" Guan Bi asked.

"Don't ask any more questions. If possible, it's best to leave Hundred Flowers City as soon as possible."

Shen Xu did not believe that the Sword Alliance could send a Venerable based on his one-sided account, even if the messenger was Bai Lu.

Moreover, if the person behind the scenes is constantly monitoring him, Bai Lu and Guan Bi may be in danger.

Shen Xu was suddenly stunned when he thought of this.

The witch said she wouldn't let him go out for the next few days, perhaps because she didn't want him to ruin their plans.

“We are members of the judging panel, and we will not leave Hundred Flowers City until the Hundred Flowers Festival ends. Don’t even think about getting rid of us this time.” Bai Lu’s expression was unusually firm.

Seeing Bai Lu's serious expression, Shen Xu smiled and said, "Alright! You guys do me a favor."

I suspect that the Crimson Origin Sect colluded with the Blood Fiend Palace to plot against us at the Hundred Flowers Festival. Qingyun's whereabouts are currently unknown, and it is very likely that they are behind this.

The Song family values ​​their marriage to the Ji family highly, and I suspect Ji Ling Shuang will be a key figure in this. Therefore, you should try to minimize Ji Ling Shuang's contact with Song Han, and if possible, it would be best to prevent Ji Ling Shuang from attending the Hundred Flowers Festival.

Just do your best, don't force it. Even if it doesn't work out for you, I have a backup plan.

"This...how is this possible! There's no reason for it!" Bai Lu's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"I'm just guessing, I can't be sure yet, and I hope my guess is wrong."

But it's always good to be safe than sorry. Once the grand flower festival is safely underway, everything will become clear.

"Have you talked to Senior Lü about this?" Guan Bi suddenly asked.

“I don’t trust him. You can also ask Yuan Wuwei for help, but don’t tell him any useful information. He’s not someone who can keep secrets.”

“You didn’t agree to come to Hundred Flowers City with Qingyun just to attend the Hundred Flowers Festival; you had been planning this for a long time!” Guan Bi looked at him with a deep gaze.

"Guanbi, you are indeed very perceptive, but I cannot tell you what I am going to do."

And there's something I want to ask you. If I'm not mistaken, the Guan family should be your mother's family.

I want to know what exactly happened to your parents back then?

Hearing this, Guan Bi's expression darkened. "I'm sorry, I was very young when my father passed away, and I know almost nothing about what happened back then."

“I know!” Bai Lu suddenly exclaimed.

"Before I came to Baihua City, Aunt Lan asked me to apologize to you, Shen Xu, on her behalf, and told you about what happened to Uncle Ling back then."

"Miss, why didn't you tell me!" Guan Bi looked puzzled.

“I thought you knew!” Bai Lu looked at Guan Bi.

"The matter is actually not complicated. Simply put, Uncle Ling stole the Hundred Flowers Girl, also known as Aunt Guan, at the Hundred Flowers Festival twenty years ago."

At that time, the Chiyuan Sect even sent people to Tianhe to demand her return, but Aunt Guan said she was willing to follow Uncle Ling and no longer wanted to be the Daughter of a Hundred Flowers. The Chiyuan Sect had no way to deal with Uncle Ling, and the matter was left unresolved.

Later, the Guan family took the initiative to sever ties with Aunt Guan, stating that they no longer had this daughter, and Aunt Guan also disappeared without a trace after Uncle Ling disappeared in Tianhe.

That's why I wanted you to bring Guanbi to Hundred Flowers City, Shen Xu; maybe we could find traces of Aunt Guan here.

Shen Xu was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that his simple question would uncover so many secrets.

“My mother is the daughter of a hundred flowers!” Guan Bi murmured.

“Based on what I’ve learned these past few days, the Daughter of a Hundred Flowers is related to the revival of the Goddess. Perhaps the Goddess knows your mother’s whereabouts,” Shen Xu said.

"Is this really true?" Guan Bi immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Of course. Legend has it that when all the flowers bloom on Goddess Peak, it is the time when the Goddess returns. If I'm not mistaken, this year's Hundred Flowers Festival is the day when all the flowers are gathered."

"The premise is that the returning goddess is conscious." Shen Xu sighed inwardly.

"Then what about the Crimson Origin Sect and the Blood Fiend Palace..." Guan Bi frowned.

“That’s right. I suspect their goal is the goddess, so I need Guanbi to do me a favor.”

"What's the deal?"

"The four major families seem to have completely sided with the Crimson Origin Sect, but I believe there must be some among them who oppose them."

"I hope you can use your position and Qingyun's name to find out exactly what the four major families are cooperating with the Crimson Origin Sect on, and how they plan to bring back the Goddess."

“Okay, I promise you,” Guan Bi said in a deep voice.

"But you must promise me you won't take any more risks. Nothing is more important than your life." Guan Bi looked at him with eyes full of worry.

Shen Xu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Don't worry, I told you before, I'm a person who values ​​my life very much."

"I don't believe it! What exactly did you encounter in the Thunder Pool Secret Realm? Why were your star lines broken and intermittent? It scared me half to death," Bai Lu asked, leaning closer to him.

"Stargazing! Bai Lu, you truly possess extraordinary talent in stargazing," Shen Xu couldn't help but exclaim.

He remembered the half-baked stargazer he met in his previous life. He had spent most of his life looking at stars, but he could barely see the existence of star lines before he died. Even so, he was still a long way from being a true stargazer.

Being a stargazer is a profession that requires even more talent than being an alchemist; if you're not blessed with natural talent, you basically have no chance of even getting started.

"Of course!" Bai Lu said with an air of pride.

"Don't interrupt, what exactly happened to you?" Bai Lu asked very seriously.

"Do you still remember the Nine-Turn Dragon Body? I found it among the things left behind by Senior Ling."

"And then you practiced it! Xiao Yi already said that practicing that kind of technique is a matter of life and death, you're courting death!" Bai Lu's voice rose involuntarily.

"Do you think I wanted to?! How could I get out without practicing!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu immediately deflated, "I'm sorry!"

"No wonder Ling Hai said he was waiting for a madman; it turns out he left behind the Nine-Turn Dragon Body."

"Old Lei, do you also know about this movement technique?"

"Of course, in a small place like Ningzhou, probably not many people know about this movement technique."

However, this movement technique is hailed as one of the most advanced movement techniques in the entire void. It is not known for its speed, but it is virtually invincible within a small space.

But its drawbacks are, as you have said, absolutely fatal!

It is said that one needs to dodge fatal attacks far exceeding one's reaction speed to even have a sliver of a chance to master the skill.

The skull looked at Shen Xu with a hint of admiration, and at the same time understood why Ling Hai had left the Wandering Thunder Spirit in the Thunder Pool Secret Realm.

"No matter what, you shouldn't practice this dangerous movement technique. You were able to get out of here alive this time, but you might not be able to next time."

"The Nine Steps of Lightning is enough to keep you from falling behind others in terms of movement techniques," Guan Bi couldn't help but remind him.

Shen Xu looked at Guan Bi and couldn't help but sigh. He really couldn't guarantee that. Wuji Sect was definitely not a charity organization.
