"If I remember correctly, in the last mission, in addition to Nephew Lu, there was also a casual cultivator named Shen involved. It should be you, my dear Shen Luo, right?" The man with a sword on his back next to him suddenly spoke with a smile.
This man is tall and has a majestic appearance, but when he speaks, he gives people a very kind feeling.
"Senior Gong is knowledgeable and has a good memory. I did participate in this matter together with Fellow Daoist Lu on that day." Shen Luo hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Just now, Lu Huaming secretly sent a message and roughly introduced the names of the other people, focusing on the two people next to Master Huang Mu. The man with a sword on his back was named Gong Dian, and the young woman in a palace skirt next to him was named Yin Yixian. They were all worshippers of the Tang Dynasty government.
"Mr. Shen, do you have any idea about the escape of the ghost of the Jinghe Dragon King?" Gong Dian asked.
"I am also confused and really can't figure it out." Shen Luo shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Gong Dian looked at Shen Luo, a layer of strange light like water waves appeared in the depths of his eyes, rippling gently.
The young woman in palace skirt and Master Huangmu turned their heads slightly and looked over. Gong Dian shook his head imperceptibly.
"Forget it. It's meaningless to investigate how the Jinghe Dragon King escaped from the underworld. The most urgent task is how to deal with him." Master Huangmu waved his hand.
"Master is right." Gong Dian nodded.
"Seniors, although there is no place for me to speak here, I have a doubt in my mind, and I don't know whether I should say it or not." A voice suddenly sounded. It was the young man named Wu who was beside Fairy Qinghua who walked out and said respectfully.
When Shen Luo saw this person suddenly jump out, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"You are my nephew Wu Ming from Putuo Mountain, right? Feel free to say whatever you want to say." Gong Dian said with a smile.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that Fellow Daoist Shen participated in the underworld mission that day, and today he discovered the trace of the Jinghe Dragon King before everyone else. I feel that it is too much of a coincidence. What do you seniors think?" Wu Ming continued to maintain a respectful demeanor and spoke softly.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was slightly shocked and looked at Shen Luo with a hint of suspicion.
Shen Luo was shocked and looked at Wu Ming suddenly.
"I am only saying what is in my mind. I have absolutely no intention of slandering Fellow Daoist Shen. I hope Fellow Daoist Shen can forgive me." Wu Ming met Shen Luo's gaze without any fear, with a humble look on his face.
"Really? I thought that friend Wu Dao was holding a grudge against me for defeating him in Wanqiu City before, and was deliberately seeking revenge. I'm glad you have no selfish motives." Shen Luo said with a smile.
A trace of shock and anger appeared on Wu Ming's face, but he hid it the next moment.
Although the change in his expression was only fleeting, everyone present was a person of high cultivation, so how could they miss it? Their suspicion towards Shen Luo was slightly reduced, and their gaze towards Wu Ming was more meaningful.
"Okay, let's talk about this later. Let's go back to the Tang Dynasty government first. Fellow Daoist Qinghua, Fellow Daoist Mianyue, why don't you two go over there and discuss this matter?" Master Huangmu spoke with a hint of displeasure in his tone, especially when he looked at Wu Ming, he was even more dissatisfied.
As a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty government, what he least wanted to see was his subordinates being divided and scheming against each other.
"Yes, we will follow Senior Huangmu's arrangements." Fairy Qinghua and Mr. Mianyue noticed Senior Huangmu's displeasure and hurriedly agreed.
