The man surnamed Lin walked in with his hands behind his back, glanced at Feng Jiu, then walked forward and sat down at the table in the courtyard.
"Senior Brother Lin, have some tea." The man named He poured him a cup and then sat down next to him.
Feng Jiu sighed inwardly, but smiled as she stepped forward and said, "Brother Lin, I met Sister Zhu when I just came back. She asked me to tell you that she will meet you in a couple of days."
"Did you really just meet her on the road?" The man surnamed Lin stared at Feng Jiu. Without waiting for Feng Jiu to speak, he said with a sullen face, "Or did you go there on purpose to wait for her?"
"Brother Lin, please don't misunderstand. It was really just a coincidence that we ran into each other. Junior Sister Lin just said a few words to me, and then asked me to pass on the message. That's really all."
She said this with an anxious look on her face, and then added: "Only Senior Brother Lin is worthy of a person like Junior Sister Lin. I know that I am not strong enough, so how dare I have such thoughts? I hope Senior Brother will not misunderstand me."
Finally, she finally managed to dispel the other party's suspicion and hostility with all her persuasion. After sending him away, she let out a sigh of relief. The man named He next to her saw this and chuckled.
"You usually seem quiet, but I didn't expect you to be so eloquent when you start talking."
Hearing this, Feng Jiu's eyes flickered slightly. This was the second person who said such a thing today. It seemed that she had unconsciously brought her own personality into this role.
If this continues, they will probably become suspicious. With today's warning, she will have to be more careful in the days ahead.
In the next two days, she sorted out some of the relationships and connections of the man surnamed Ruan, and also learned a piece of news from outside, that is, tonight, the leaders of the sect will discuss things in the side hall.
When she heard the news, she decided to find out the truth first.
That night, not long after she turned off the lights and rested, she changed into her nightgown and quietly left the courtyard, heading for the higher levels of the sect. She had gotten familiar with the routes here over the past two days, so she wasn't worried about getting lost.
With her strength, she moved in the night like a ghost, and no one could detect her. What's more, she concealed her aura and moved quietly. Besides, there were not many people hanging around in the sect at night, but they all returned to their respective courtyards to rest and practice.
Perhaps the people of this sect were too confident and thought that no one would sneak in, so the security inside was not very strict, which allowed Fengjiu to easily reach the side hall where meetings were held.
She quietly lay on the roof of the side hall and saw the scene below through the tiny crack in the roof.
I saw a dozen men and women sitting on both sides of the hall. Some of them were old, and some looked very young. Of course, their real age was definitely not equal to their appearance.
She noticed that there were three gorgeous women sitting below. They were wearing very revealing clothes, their beautiful eyes were faintly alluring, and their behavior was a little frivolous.
Sitting in the main seat, an old man in gray was holding a dragon-headed cane in his hand. It looked like it was made of wood, but also looked like it was carved from something.
She had been hanging around in this sect for three days, and had occasionally seen some people, including her so-called master. However, it was obvious that the person sitting here was the backbone of this sect.
