Before the lackey finished his sentence, Lin Ao slapped him on the back of his head, causing the lackey to stagger.
"Brother Ao, why are you hitting again?"
Lin Ao looked at this lackey.
"Did I say it's not?"
"So, is it or not?"
Lin Ao squinted his eyes. Although he was a playboy, he wasn't stupid.
"The relationship between Lu Ziyue and Bai Yutang is very close, which is obvious to everyone. Now Lu Ziyue is said to be missing for the ti being, while Bai Yutang suddenly, within a few days, not only defeated my brother but also passed the Sword Wall, soaring up the ranks."
Lin Ao muttered to himself, sensing sothing unusual in both matters. Why did Lu Ziyue go missing, and why did Bai Yutang suddenly beco formidable?
One should know that Bai Yutang was previously seen as a sycophant in everyone's eyes, a pretty boy. If it weren't for Gao Yuanyuan and Lu Ziqi taking a liking to him and having a drama of two won competing for one man, Bai Yutang was a nobody in the Outer Sect, no one knew him.
Lu Ziyue covering for Bai Yutang likely has sothing to do with Lu Ziqi, after all, Lu Ziqi and Lu Ziyue are siblings.
But what's the connection here?
Lin Ao was puzzled, as it was difficult to link these two matters together. Besides, they didn't have any Absorption Star Technique type of Kung Fu to absorb one's inner strength.
Lin Ao was getting a headache.
"Got it."
The lackey lifted his eyes to look at Lin Ao: "Brother Ao, did you think of sothing?"
"Uh-huh, I thought of it."
"If Lu Ziyue is missing or not, what are we rushing for? Lu Ziyue is the Young Master of the Lu Family, the direct heir. If Lu Ziyue disappears, the Lu Family should be more anxious."
"That's true, but why is there no news from the Lu Family?" the lackey asked puzzledly.
"Uh-huh, it's simple. Because no one in the Lu Family is thinking this way. Not to ntion them, even you and I just realized Lu Ziyue is missing."
As one of the Ten Great Families of the Ancient Martial world, the Lin Family isn't just a re family; it's a faction.
Apart from the Divine Sword Manor on Sword Mountain, the Outer Sect at the foot of the mountain, and Dragon Gate Town, there are so other outposts nearby.
As the first significant external family beyond the Lin Family in Divine Sword Manor, the Lu Family has most of its mbers set up in Lu Family stronghold in a small valley upstream, except for a part residing in the Manor.
Social interactions in the Ancient Martial World are actually very limited, and most of the ti is spent on training. So people go into seclusion for three to five months in a secluded place without seeing anyone.
Naturally, no one cares whether a person around them is missing.
Even if Lu Ziyue is addicted to training, if he doesn't appear for a year and a half, Lin Ao wouldn't think he's in trouble. The point is, Lu Ziyue isn't one to embrace solitude.
Or else, he wouldn't have two opposing forces vying with each other in Dragon Gate Town.
"Yeah!"
The lackey nodded, right, if it weren't uncovered, who would think of it.
"Brother Ao, when you said you've got it, you an...!"
Lin Ao glanced at him.
"We can't be the ones to expose this matter. For one, whether Lu Ziyue is truly gone isn't completely confird. If it's a blunder, it'll be a big joke."
The lackey nodded, indeed that's the case, Lu Ziyue might be out of sight, but who knows, he might pop up any second.
"Lu Ziyue's n are looking for him, yet Lu Ziyue usually sticks with Bai Yutang like glue. Now Lu Ziyue suddenly vanished, and Bai Yutang suddenly becos impressive."
"Does Bai Yutang know sothing, or did Bai Yutang do sothing?"
The lackey seed ntally stretched.
"What what?"
Lin Ao slapped him: "What what, no need for you to know anything, just spread what I said around, as for what's involved or what happened, let those people think for themselves."
"Anyway, make sure these people link Lu Ziyue's disappearance to Bai Yutang."
Lin Ao spoke, a cold smile playing at his lips.
Bai Yutang slapped him in the face, made him lose face, then beat his brother Lin Xiong. Though his brother benefited from the misfortune, Bai Yutang still humiliated him.
He had long wanted to restore his dignity.
Just that his brother Lin Xiong wouldn't act, and he couldn't beat Bai Yutang, this was just perfect to cause so trouble for Bai Yutang.
No matter the outco, it has nothing to do with him, Lin Ao.
He'll just watch the show.
"Oh, oh, I understand."
"Really understand?"
Lin Ao looked at the lackey.
"Uh-huh, basically bla Bai Yutang for Lu Ziyue's affair."
"Uh-huh, don't say too much, just spread the two matters."
Lin Ao said.
"Spreading gossip, that's my expertise, Brother Ao, you can count on for this."
Li Feng and the bun-faced girl Xiaoman arrived at the street in Dragon Gate Town, bought so snacks to bribe her.
"Xiaoman, do you know the contents of this year's Outer Sect examination, did Senior Sister tell you?"
Xiaoman ate the snacks, snorting through her pretty nose.
"What else could it be, still the sa old three. The first is to traverse Dragon Gate Town, from the entrance of the town through Dragon Gate Town's street to the Outer Sect's small square."
"The second is intelligence testing, completing the written test."
"The third is testing martial prowess, our lady is one of the martial examiners."
Li Feng oh-ed and looked at the bun face.
"If Senior Sister is an examiner, then wouldn't no one pass?"
Xiaoman glanced at Li Feng and said, "Missy is cold, but not the wicked teacher. Besides, the third martial test is the easiest to pass of the three, it's not like those recorded disciples have to defeat Missy, they just need to show a remarkable performance to pass."
"It's the first traverse through Dragon Gate Town that's the real challenge, because this round allows the townspeople to participate. You really think Dragon Gate Town is easy to pass, co the ti, everyone from Dragon Gate Town, young and old, will join in to block and chase."
"The annual Outer Sect entrance examination is one of Dragon Gate Town's rare festive occasions, if you can hold soone down, you even get a reward from the Manor."
Li Feng heard the bun-faced girl say this, and slightly opened his mouth; no wonder he felt the atmosphere was a bit off walking on the street.
The shop owner who sold them snacks was hurrying to close, and previously he saw both sides of the street lively, but today hardly anyone had stalls set up.
The feeling is that the first round of the Outer Sect examination is to traverse Dragon Gate Town, and thousands of townspeople will participate in this blockade chase.
This is truly exhilarating.
Manor's people really ca up with such a thod.
Dong.
At this mont, a gong sounded from afar.
Xiaoman imdiately urged Li Feng: "Quickly go, we need to hurry to the town's entrance, or else when it gets chaotic later, we won't be able to get out."
Saying this, Xiaoman stretched her legs and ran towards the nearby town's entrance, with Li Feng following closely behind. The gong sounded every now and then, likely reminding the people in the town to prepare.
Upon arriving at the town's entrance.
Li Feng saw Huang Shuyao in the crowd at a glance. This ti, there were over a hundred participants in the entrance examination, all dressed in snug athletic attire, with distinct marks on them, very noticeable like logos on delivery guys.
Clearly, sneaking through wouldn't be possible.
Dong.
With another gong rang out.
"Examination officially begins. Within one hour, cross Dragon Gate Town and reach the Outer Sect's entrance to pass. Good luck."
