Chapter 328 Lost and Found
On the way back, Han Xu kept thinking about how Chu Ziyan could see through his disguise.
Thousand Faces is a genuine spiritual object. The spiritual object is born from the spiritual power of heaven and earth and has many magical effects.
After using Qianmian for so long, Han Xu has basically figured out Qianmian's ultimate ability. As long as he is not a master who is a level higher than him, it is almost impossible to see through Qianmian's disguise.
But Chu Ziyan's realm was clearly extraordinary, and it should be impossible to see through it, but he saw through it.
Han Xu was wondering if Chu Ziyan also had a spiritual object that could see through the fog.
The reason for this inference is that Han Xu still remembers one thing. Chu Ziyan repeatedly mentioned that even if he puts the branches of the Indus Sacred Tree into the storage space, he can still steal them.
To do this, he must be able to see the situation in the storage space through the storage ring and control the movement of things inside through the space barrier.
"It's getting more and more interesting, Chu Ziyan, I must let you follow me."
Just like this, Han Xu slowly walked back to Zhong Mansion with doubts and curiosity.
As soon as he entered, he felt a solemn atmosphere in the air.
No need to think about it, you already know the reason.
In the hall, Zhong Yi sat dejectedly on a chair. The tea cup beside the table was filled with tea, but it was a full cup of cold tea without taking a sip.
Zhong Guhe's expression was equally ugly, he lowered his head and sighed uncontrollably.
Zhong Wei and Zhong Fu were also there. It seemed that they knew what happened and sat down without saying a word.
At this time, Zhong Yi's second brother Zhong Zheng hurried over and said at the top of his voice as soon as he entered the door: "Brother, how could this happen?"
"This is our Zhong family's savings in the past ten years!"
Zhong Zheng is specifically responsible for the Zhong family's property, or in layman's terms, responsible for making money, so this loss can be said to be the biggest blow to him.
"Second brother, the responsibility this time lies entirely with me." Zhong Yi said dejectedly.
"Zhong Yi, now is not the time to talk about responsibilities. This time we lost my wife and lost our troops. The Wang family and Zhang family will definitely not miss this great opportunity to attack us. We have to cheer up and plan the next countermeasures. ." Zhong Guhe said.
"Although the elder's words are good, what capital do we have now to compete with the Wang and Zhang families?" Zhong Yi said, "Even if Han Xu helped us get the right to mine the Xuanjing Fruit in the competition between the three clans, it would still be very difficult. It is difficult to make up for this loss in a short time.”
Zhong Zheng slammed the table and said, "The worst we can do is fight with them. If they want to swallow up our Zhong family, they will have to pay a heavy price no matter what."
Zhong Yi said: "Don't be impulsive. It's not time to fight them yet. In my opinion, they won't be hard on us. On the contrary, they will definitely take advantage of our weakness to gradually annex our industry. Eat away at our power and replace us step by step.”
"This is killing with a soft knife."
Just when everyone was dejected, Han Xu walked in with vigorous steps and asked, "What's wrong with everyone?"
Seeing Han Xu, even Zhong Fu, who always liked to pester him, didn't know what to say.
In the end, it was Zhong Yi who simply told Han Xu the whole story.
As expected by Han Xu, Zhong Yi found out that the secret book of Xiaoyue Scimitar was stolen after he returned home. He didn't even know when and where it was stolen.
Seeing that Han Xu still had a smile on his lips, Zhong Wei suddenly became angry. He pointed at Han Xu and said, "Han Xu, our Zhong family has suffered a great disaster. Are you happy?"
"I have known for a long time that you are not well-intentioned, and now it seems that is indeed the case."
Han Xu didn't bother to pay attention to this second-generation ancestor who had neither strength nor brains. He said to Zhong Yi: "I thought it was a big deal. Can you see if this is what I lost?"
After saying that, Han Xu threw the jade slip that recorded Xiao Yue's scimitar skills over, and Zhong Yi took it into his hand. The expression that was still crying just now soon turned into one of ecstasy.
"Yes, yes, that's it, that's this jade slip!" He said excitedly, and Zhong Guhe quickly understood. He looked at the jade slip in Zhong Yi's hand in disbelief and asked, "Is it really true?"
Zhong Yi said: "Yes, it really is."
Zhong Zheng didn't understand what happened, so he asked: "Brother, what's wrong?"
"This jade slip is the ultimate extraordinary skill I photographed, the Shaoyue Scimitar."
Zhong Yi stepped forward, pulled Han Xu and said, "Han Xu, thank you so much. You know, you saved our entire Zhong family!"
Hearing this, Zhong Wei and Zhong Fu also understood what happened, and Han Xu chased back the stolen Scimitar of the Moon.
Especially Zhong Wei, he now feels ashamed. He misunderstood Han Xu time and time again. Although Han Xu didn't care, he was severely slapped in the face every time.
Now, he could only resolve his embarrassment by remaining silent and hoping that others would not notice him.
Zhong Fu was wiping her tears silently just now, but now she was smiling and looking at Han Xu with a complicated expression.
Han Xu first saved her life, and now he became the benefactor of the entire Zhong family. How should she repay this?
After the excitement of finding it had subsided, Zhong Yi asked Han Xu: "Han Xu, how did you get this jade slip back?"
After being excited, Zhong Yi had a lot of doubts in his heart. Han Xu didn't follow him to the auction, so he probably didn't know what happened, so how did he get the jade slip back.
Han Xu said: "I happened to meet a little thief outside who was boasting about stealing something from the Zhong family. After I heard it, I snatched it back."
"Little thief?" Zhong Yi knew that Han Xu was not telling the truth completely. Who could steal things from him without anyone noticing, could he be a little thief?
But Han Xu didn't want to say it, and Zhong Yi wouldn't ask. In any case, the jade slip was back, and that was fine.
But he didn't ask, but Han Xu saw some clues from Zhong Yi's expression, and asked: "Does Uncle Zhong know this little thief?"
"Have you ever fought against him?"
"After two moves, his strength may be so-so, but there is no problem in defeating Wang Jin."
Zhong Wei on the side heard this and lowered his head even lower. His ability to beat Wang Jin was only so-so, so what does his ability to beat Wang Jin mean? He was not as good as a pig or a dog?
"Have you seen the characteristics of his skills?" Zhong Yi asked again.
Han Xu said: "His skills are mainly body skills, he is very fast, and he is very good at hiding his aura. I estimate that even a monk higher than him would have a hard time detecting his aura."
"Moreover, he seems to have a special ability to see through disguises." Han Xu thought for a while and added. Judging from Zhong Yi's reaction, he should know something.
Han Xu was also very curious about Chu Ziyan's identity. Judging from his actions, he should have an extraordinary background.
Sure enough, after listening to Han Xu's description, Zhong Yi's expression became very serious. He said: "If my guess is correct, he should be the world leader of the Yinmen generation."
