Gu Xun left the small courtyard early, leaving Tianming to calm down alone.
But in fact he is not really the only one.
Bai Feng has been observing in secret.
Tianming is very strong now, and his perception ability is particularly good, but based on his emotional state at the time, unless Bai Feng stands in front of him, it will be all empty talk.
After Tianming left, Bai Feng kept monitoring from the air to make sure that he returned to the hiding place safely and was not discovered before returning to report to Gu Xun.
However, his series of actions were not instigated by Gu Xun. They were purely due to his own curiosity and wanting to join in the fun.
Before that, he didn't know about these past events - he basically knew everything about Jing Ke, but he didn't know that Tianming was Jing Ke's son.
Without Tianming, to Bai Feng, Jing Ke was just a stupid assassin who died at the hands of his own boss.
But with Tianming... Jingke's identity has not changed much, but Tianming's life is truly tragic.
Of course, some people may envy Tianming's life. After all, there are many mediocre mortals in the world who have both parents, but there are not many children of destiny who have both parents dead.
Gu Xun didn't care about Bai Feng's report. He sat down calmly and then said:
"You should deal with the matters at hand as soon as possible, hand over what needs to be handed over, and then you can return to the Northland."
"I think Han Fei needs you very much now."
The sudden order made Bai Feng stunned for a moment, but he was very curious and did not dare to ask more questions this time. He obeyed the order and said:
"My subordinates know."
Gu Xunyou said something like an explanation:
"The mirage is about to sail away. In the next period of time, there is no need for Quicksand to deploy any force outside the Northland."
"Go ahead."
"Yes." Bai Feng bowed. He didn't particularly understand what Gu Xun said, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he turned around and left quickly.
Gu Xun ignored Bai Feng's confusion and just sat leisurely.
To this day, I feel a rare sense of relief in Gu Xun.
No matter what the outcome is, at least you won’t have to worry about it in the future.
The arrow is already on the string, everything will develop step by step, and Gu Xun cannot stop at this time.
No matter what his outcome was or what his reputation was during and after his death, Gu Xun didn't even bother to think about it.
………………
It's night, inside Xuanwu, the agency.
Gao Jianli returned here after a busy day.
Snow Girl went out to contact Master Ben, and it would take at least a day or two before she could come back.
So when Gao Jianli came back, only the big hammer came up to meet him.
"How about it?"
Sledgehammer didn't talk nonsense and simply asked.
Gao Jianli shook his head, his expression serious but not too bad.
"The person was not found." Gao Jianli first told the result of his search for the person.
Sledgehammer's reaction to this was mediocre - even with his brain, he knew that if you were looking for someone in the current Songhai City, you would still try your best to hide yourself, and there would be something wrong if you could find him.
Gao Jianli then added the good news, "But there was news from the Renzong and the Xiang clan that Shao Yu and the Shushan girl named Shi Lan are in contact with them."
"The person is indeed hiding in Songhai City now."
Sledgehammer hurriedly asked, "What about the specific location?"
"Renzong has provided several possibilities, but does not recommend us to take too radical actions." Gao Jianli replied calmly.
If Tianming Shaoyu is determined not to come back, it won't make much sense for them to find him. They can't forcefully kidnap him back - regardless of the current strength of the two boys, Sanghai's situation alone doesn't allow for such an operation.
And it may also affect Shi Lan, who has little relationship with Gao Jianli and the others.
This is also the reason why the Renzong Association gives reminders.
Considering the relationship between the two parties and Tianming Shaoyu's special identity, they certainly couldn't hide the Mo family as an ally, but they couldn't let the Mo family act rashly and interfere with one of their own - that is, Shi Lan.
Sledgehammer doesn't quite understand the twists and turns, but he still respects the allies he sincerely recognizes, and his attitude is quite gentle:
"What are they going to do hiding in the city?"
"According to the information provided by Renzong and the Xiang clan, their target is undoubtedly the mirage - more precisely, they want to keep an eye on people who enter and leave the mirage in various ways."
The latter can be regarded as an extension of the former, but the latter is by no means equal to the former. It can even be said that the two are completely different when listed separately.
The former indicates that the two boys may plan to board the mirage to do something, and the latter indicates that the two boys may be eyeing someone who will enter and exit the mirage.
For Gao Jianli, the latter was significantly less dangerous than the former, so his mood was relatively stable and he was not in a hurry to get the person back.
"Then what are you going to do?" Sledgehammer asked Gao Jianli honestly and with some self-awareness.
"I'll go find them tomorrow and see what they want to do." Gao Jianli replied in a low tone.
"Tomorrow?" Sledgehammer put forward his own opinion, "The situation is so tense now, is it best to do it as soon as possible?"
"It's getting late, and it's difficult to move around at night, so I won't take the risk." Gao Jianli shook his head and rejected Sledgehammer's suggestion.
The movement was concealed at night, but it was inconvenient for him to go into the city to find someone.
It would be okay if it was just a little troublesome, but I was afraid that he would come to the door in the middle of the night and startle people, make a noise in the chaos, and alert the people in the court, which would be a lot of fun.
In addition, Renzong said that they would try to contact Shi Lan first, and if there was any result, they would notify the Mo family as soon as possible.
That's why Gao Jianli pushed it to tomorrow.
In any case, the current situation is gradually calming down, and drastic changes cannot occur in one night.
Sledgehammer shrugged his shoulders and said nothing more.
There really weren't many things he could take into consideration. Since Gao Jianli felt it was inappropriate, then it shouldn't be appropriate.
………………
The next day, Songhai's situation still did not improve, but it did not continue to worsen.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Tianming and the others.
The three of them are currently focusing on the mirage that no one cares about at the moment. The strange situation in the city will only interfere with their actions, but will not affect their purpose.
At dawn, as planned yesterday, he started to act alone early, taking the waterway and going straight to the mirage, leaving Shao Yu and Shi Lan temporarily in the safe house, waiting for news.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just at this time, Gao Jianli, who had received further information from Renzong, came over.
"who!"
Shao Yu and Shi Lan, who sensed someone approaching, reacted quickly. They immediately picked up their weapons and shouted at the same time to test the exact location of the person.
Gao Jianli, who had just stepped in, responded immediately, "It's me, don't be nervous."
Seeing clearly that the person coming was Gao Jianli, Shao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and put down the weapon in his hand.
Shi Lan was not familiar with Gao Jianli, but he also recognized that this was a member of the Mo family and no longer assumed an attacking posture.
"Mr. Xiao Gao... why are you here?" After the initial nervousness, Shao Yu immediately fell into embarrassment and confusion.
The embarrassment was because he and Tianming left without saying goodbye, and the confusion was because Gao Jianli actually knew their location.
Gao Jianli did not explain much, but simply replied, "You disappeared without saying a word. Of course I will come find you."
"Where's Tianming?"
"Tianming...uh..." Shaoyu was just thinking about how to avoid the topic of Tianming, but Gao Jianli had already taken the initiative to ask.
This made him dumbfounded and unable to answer.
Gao Jianli frowned and couldn't help but ask in a more serious tone, "Where are the others?"
Seeing this, Shi Lan took the initiative to take over the conversation and replied, "I'm going to the mirage at dawn."
You definitely can't hide something. If you want to prevaricate something, you can't do it. You have to either forcefully not answer, or just cooperate a little bit.
Shaoyu couldn't make up his mind for a moment, and Shi Lan simply helped him make a choice.
Hearing Shi Lan tell the truth directly, Shao Yu subconsciously felt that something bad was going to happen.
Gao Jianli is a kind of person with a tough personality and a serious personality. This kind of people definitely don't like Tianming Shaoyu's reckless character who always makes trouble.
Therefore, neither Shaoyu nor Tianming likes to contact Gao Jianli.
For this reason, Shao Yu was unwilling to tell Gao Jianli Tianming's whereabouts frankly.
His subconscious told him that this would probably make Gao Jianli angry, and then he and Tianming would be in trouble.
However, to Shao Yu's expectation, Gao Jianli did not get angry. Although his mood seemed to have obvious ups and downs, he at least remained calm.
"What did he want to do in the mirage?"
"this……"
This question made Gao Jianli hesitate again, and Shi Lan did not dare to speak.
Tianming's whereabouts are not important, it doesn't matter if you answer or not.
But Tianming's purpose of going here is related to their fundamental goal, and Gao Jianli's attitude is unclear. What if the other party doesn't approve and stops them?
Seeing that neither of them was willing to cooperate, Gao Jianli was not anxious and responded with a gentle attitude:
"No matter what you want to do, the target must be related to the mirage."
"But can you really achieve your goal with just the three of you?"
"I'm not here to stop you, I just don't want you to fall into unnecessary adventures."
Gao Jianli spoke very sincerely and there was nothing wrong with his attitude. Shao Yu relaxed a little. After hesitating for a while, he still did not answer directly, but said perfunctorily:
"Well... let him tell you when he comes back in the morning, Mr. Xiao Gao."
"He went to the mirage to get information."
Shaoyu revealed a little information, but did not completely let go.
After all, the plan was determined by the three of them together, so naturally the three of them should decide together whether to disclose it to Gao Jianli.
Gao Jianli was silent for a moment, and without pressing too much, asked, "How long does it take for him to come back? Does he need support?"
"It shouldn't take long." Shao Yu answered all these questions cooperatively, "No need for support, he will swim back directly by water."
"Okay, wait for him to come back." Gao Jianli nodded, agreeing with Shao Yu's previous answer.
Shao Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
Although they were powerful, he and Tianming still subconsciously treated themselves as children when facing these elders. They were not submissive, but they were still a little bit frightened.
If Gao Jianli intervened in their plan with a strong attitude, Shao Yu really didn't know how to respond.
………………
On the other side, Tianming has already climbed onto the mirage.
Although compared to the usual way of sneaking in, he was a little embarrassed when he swam in, soaked to the skin, and his clothes were all tightly clinging to his skin, looking like a skinned sheep.
Tian Ming didn't really care about this at all, he just felt that it would affect his actions.
While inciting his energy to bake his clothes, he followed his usual route straight to Toad Palace.
He still doesn't know Chitaki's location, but every time he enters or approaches the Toad Palace, he is pulled into that special space, so no matter what, he just goes to the Toad Palace first.
Tianming, who learned from Gu Xun that he now had 'privileges', acted somewhat unscrupulously on the mirage.
In the past, whether he was boarding the ship alone or with other friends, he would always pay attention to concealment and observe the environment to ensure that he was not discovered.
Now he almost doesn't care about concealment at all.
He will actively avoid people on the boat when he encounters them, but he will not engage in any additional concealment behavior and is not worried about being exposed.
Thanks to the large area per person on the mirage, Tianming saw few people along the way. His movement speed was more than twice as fast as before, and he soon reached the familiar position of the highest crown of the Fuso tree.
After arriving, he was not in a hurry to sneak into the Toad Palace.
Because he felt a strange feeling again.
It seems that because Tianming's strength has improved, he feels this strange and unreasonable feeling more clearly.
After Tianming thought about it, he did not rush into the Toad Palace and began to try to deeply feel this special feeling on the spot.
He didn't know what to do, so he could only calm down and carefully perceive everything around him.
After closing his eyes for a long time, Tianming finally felt the change, and a faint melody emerged in his mind.
Immediately afterwards, Tianming fell into a familiar trance. When he came back to his senses, he was indeed in that familiar special space again.
But what was different from before was that Chitaki didn't call his name immediately in her cute, girly voice.
Tianming entered here alone this time.
Before he could react to this, Chitaki's figure suddenly appeared.
As soon as she came in, she immediately said in a voice of surprise, "Tianming, you can actually enter the Phantom Sound Box on your own initiative!"
Seeing the familiar figure of the girl, Tianming smiled sincerely, but Gu Xun's words from yesterday came to mind, making his smile instantly become forced.
Although his mood was affected, Tianming had no intention of angering Qianlong and still stepped forward with a forced smile:
"Chitaki!"
"Tian Ming..." After seeing Tian Ming's expression clearly, Qiantaki, who was about to ask Tian Ming what happened to her, paused in her tone, and then changed her words and asked cautiously, "Tian Ming, what's wrong with you...?"
"It's okay." Tian Ming tried his best to keep his expression normal and replied with a shrug, pretending to be nonchalant, "Does something look wrong with me?"
"That's not right." The smile on Chitaki's face disappeared and she shook her head seriously, "You are not in the right state. Something must have happened to you?"
"Can't you tell me?"
Seeing Qiantaki's determined look, Tianming knew that he couldn't hide it, so he sighed and explained vaguely:
"I've recently... known some things, quite bad things, so I'm not in a good mood."
Chitaki was not fooled. He shook his head and questioned, "No, your personality is so optimistic. What can make you feel so depressed? And you have to hide it from me..."
Speaking of the latter part, Chitaki seemed to have thought of some possibility, and suddenly showed a clear look.
Tianming caught the change in Qiantaki's expression and asked subconsciously, "Qiantaki, do you know?"
