Chapter 2616 Seven Leaves
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but glance at Spider: So your stuttering is random?
However, this statement does make sense; the probability that the True Lord can perceive the cause and effect on the spider is not low.
There are more than one human True Lord who went to another world. If someone dared to attack the human-faced bee, who attacked the spider?
"That's..." Han Li said thoughtfully, "He's worried that if you stay too long, the 'powerful being' behind you will come looking for you?"
“That’s quite a possibility,” Qu Jianlei nodded. “But at his age, would he be afraid of a powerful being?”
“That’s not necessarily true,” Han Li had already sorted out his thoughts. “It’s hard to say if he’s gone mad, and the one who broke through the barrier has a huge amount of karma.”
"I hope so," Qu Jianlei said, too lazy to think about it any further. "Anyway, once I'm distracted, he'll probably..."
After being persuaded by Han Li, his mindset calmed down considerably. He shook his head and asked, "Have you investigated the cultivators of the Three Realms during this period?"
"I've investigated," Han Li answered decisively. "The Grand Lord of Lingyun should have already made his move, but there's no relevant information."
When a True Lord investigates something, there are usually no warning signs. He usually just sweeps through with his divine sense and then offers no explanation afterward.
“No news…” Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, which meant that no findings had been made.
Otherwise, significant actions will inevitably follow.
“It’s not what you think,” Han Li shook his head, revealing his true colors as a master of courting death, “The Great Lord is not omnipotent.”
Even if something is found to be questionable, it doesn't necessarily mean that one will take direct action... Everyone has some pride, right?
"When a king faces another king, if you are not absolutely certain of victory, it is best to avoid a confrontation to prevent yourself from losing face!"
Qu Jianlei understood upon hearing this, and then asked, "So, the suspicion of cultivators from the Three Realms is still very high?"
“That’s for sure,” Han Li answered without hesitation, “Right now, those who are most concerned about virtue are the cultivators of the Three Realms…”
"The Great Lord who attacked you might be Xiao You's... Never mind, I can't say that, but they are highly suspicious anyway."
In his words, even if Lord Lingyun might have scanned it with his divine sense, Lingyun still sent out an investigation team.
The suspicion against the Three Realms is too strong, so regardless of whether it is true or not, we must investigate thoroughly!
This not only sets a presupposition, but also represents a silent warning.
From a manager's perspective, this kind of operation is necessary.
But the onlookers were even more confused: just how suspicious were these cultivators from the Three Realms?
In fact, the investigation into cultivators in the Three Realms is still ongoing.
The Baiyou Business Alliance, on the other hand, faced much less targeting because Lingyun believed that a small business alliance like the Baiyou Business Alliance couldn't possibly be so audacious.
Ling Yun's reaction was almost at the level of sounding a boundary alarm, which meant that the size of the Hundred Friends Merchant Alliance was really not enough.
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but snort coldly, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Perhaps Ling Yun is still counting on me to be at the forefront."
Although he resolved his feud with Baiyou Business Alliance, were both sides truly at peace with each other?
It's nothing more than agreeing to turn the page and let bygones be bygones, but as human beings, who isn't an emotional being?
But at this moment, the spider opportunely interjected, "But they... can't be sure you'll survive, so how can they use you?"
That's absolutely right, just a bit too blunt.
Qu Jianlei touched his forehead helplessly: Which side are you on?
Fortunately, Han Li spoke up in time, "Qu Zhenzun's safety has been calculated by at least two Great Lords, and they both believe that there will be no real danger."
"At least in the short term, there is no danger to their lives."
"Two Great Kings?" Qu Jianlei glanced at him sideways, thinking to himself, "Your information network is quite impressive, but I wonder which two they are."
Han Li pretended not to see that glance and spoke to herself, "The Merchant Alliance's desire to prove itself is also very strong."
"Never mind," Qu Jianlei said, feeling a bit disheartened. "I'll just rest for now."
However, it was not easy for him to rest. Three days later, Jin Ge knocked on the door outside Jiuyou Island.
He brought the latest news from Lingyun Sect: the sect's Grand Master believes that Qu Zhenzun's physical injuries upon his return are not significant.
Developing on the mystical side, some things are really hard to control.
Qu Jianlei had no idea that someone was divining about him and was hiding on Jiuyou Island. He never expected that a great lord could actually determine his condition.
Regardless of the circumstances, the sect has made its decision, so Jin Ge has to come and make the trip.
His task was twofold. The first was to thoroughly understand what had happened to Qu Jianlei.
Jin Ge couldn't contact the sect's Grand Lord, but he could roughly guess that the Grand Lord couldn't possibly have too much information.
The matter is obvious. The person on the other side was distracted. How could they not have the corresponding means to openly make a move outside the dojo?
However, a sect leader would not say these things voluntarily; he was ordered to come and find out the situation.
However, at the same time, Jin Ge also revealed that Ling Yun seemed to have vaguely identified the suspect.
This was something he wasn't qualified to know, but there were indeed such rumors circulating among the sect's higher-ups.
Qu Jianlei remained silent, but Han Li could no longer sit still. "Then have Qingkong come over. I don't believe he doesn't know."
"Why bother?" Ever since he quietly admitted that he dared not rashly attack the distracted, Jin Ge had become much more composed.
He said casually, "Even if he knew, would he dare to say it? I have my guesses, but I really wouldn't dare to mention it."
A sect leader can identify a suspect, but what right does a true master have to gossip behind their back?
The cause and effect between True Lords is measured on another level, and cultivators of lower dimensions are not qualified to intervene in it.
“Hey,” Qu Jianlei shook his head helplessly. He could really understand Jin Ge’s fear.
If the Sage touches this line and causes trouble, even a True Monarch of Lingyun might not be willing to intervene.
However, upon further reflection on his communication with that True Lord, he couldn't help but sigh, "It seems I'm not so timid after all."
"Who said you're a coward?" Han Li glared at him, then glanced at Jin Ge, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
Qu Jianlei recounted the events again, but not in as much detail as before.
He had nothing to hide from Han Li, but there was no need to expose too much of his privacy when providing information to Ling Yun.
Jin Ge's expression changed upon hearing this, and he finally sighed, "It's all thanks to Master Qu's calm and composed mind; I might not be able to do that myself."
Qu Jianlei also believes that the key to his lucky escape was that he did not show any fear or irritability.
As for his little personal temper, it can be considered a "genuine expression of feelings" and should be a plus.
Han Li glanced at Jin Ge suspiciously, "You don't need to say it, everyone knows... Why do I feel like you're trying to hide something?"
Jin Ge pondered for a moment before replying, "I find the characteristic of 'approaching the end of one's lifespan' a bit unexpected."
“I can’t hold back any longer,” the handsome young man said, his face darkening. “Tell me who you’re guessing, or our friendship ends here.”
“Yes, I think so too,” the spider interjected again. “Don’t worry, perception, I can conceal myself, just a little bit!”
Jin Ge was used to its intermittent divine sense being blocked or open. After a moment's thought, he cupped his hands towards the spider and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Great Lord."
Then he raised his hand and grabbed a branch from a tree not far away.
Then he plucked leaves from the branches and placed them on the table, one, two, three... until seven.
"It's him?" Han Li was stunned. Seven Leaf True Venerable was one of Houde's legendary figures.
When this person left his body, he was ambushed, and the guardian he invited was also injured. He broke free and fought a great battle, and then pursued his opponent for over a thousand years.
This person possesses astonishing combat power and remarkable resilience, and is widely recognized as one of the strongest True Venerables in Houde over the past 20,000 years.
If Qiye were alive now, he would be over six thousand years old, but he disappeared when he was over two thousand years old.
Han Li, of course, knew this person as well. He frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The True Venerable is old, and the Great Lord... is still young."
This age is completely incompatible!
However, he couldn't doubt Qu Jianlei's perception, as Qu Jianlei's perception had become comparable to his own after undergoing the tempering of his body.
Qu Jianlei also knew this person. Upon hearing this, he blinked twice and said, "But... that shouldn't be the case. The aura is correct."
“That might be… my guess is wrong,” Jin Ge said thoughtfully. “This person and Ling Yun don’t get along very well.”
Seven Leaves True Venerable is stubborn and acts in his own way, so his relationship with Ling Yun is naturally not good.
When Qu Jianlei was breaking through to the Out-of-Body stage, Qingkong Zhenzun compared him to Qiye and felt that the two were quite similar.
However, Qu Zhenzun later received support from Ling Yun, and their relationship became slightly better than the former.
Han Li's thoughts, however, jumped around again. "How could you think he has already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage?"
"Well... it's just a gut feeling," Jin Ge replied vaguely, implying that there was something he couldn't say.
"This is so boring," Han Li muttered sullenly, but didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Jin Ge didn't want to continue the topic, so he brought up his second purpose for coming here.
Ling Yun wanted to know what kind of structure Qu Zhenzun planned for his next discussion.
Qu Jianlei understood, of course, that with such a grand publicity campaign in the early stages, a discussion was inevitable.
Putting aside the sensitivity of the new path to spiritual transformation, just the fact that so many True Venerables have come here, many of whom have returned specifically from other worlds.
If Qu Jianlei were to actually cancel the Daoist discussion... he himself dared not even imagine the consequences.
"I will definitely take care of you as promised," he said in a deep voice. "I'll do it in a while, but I won't go to Taiyuanhai anymore. I can't afford to lose money."
Jin Ge remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "...The Taiyuan Sea Dojo is currently still open."
Even if a shard-level dojo is not currently in use, the daily cost of just maintaining it is astronomical.
However, Qu Zhenzun did not respond, but Han Li suggested, "Why don't we wait until your fifth-order spiritual veins are back in place and then discuss the Dao at home?"
