Awaken Chapter 71

Xu Qingnian went upstairs.

Sheriff Chen followed him up.

Inside the guest room.

When Sheriff Chen closed the door behind him, Xu Qingnian took off her hat.

The conversation that followed would definitely involve the White Clothes Sect, so Xu Qingnian did not want to cover up, but instead revealed her identity so that Sheriff Chen could be put at ease.

Sure enough.

As he took the bucket hat off himself, Sheriff Chen’s face instantly became extremely wonderful.

“Xu Qingnian!”

“How is it you?”

“Impossible! How could it be you?”

Sheriff Chen’s eyes widened as he looked at Xu Qingnian unbelievably, he had never thought that the person he was meeting with would be Xu Qingnian.

This was completely unbelievable.

Shouldn’t Xu Qingnian be in the Southern Yu Province right now?

And how could he possibly be a disciple of the White Cloth Sect.

This was absolutely impossible.

It was absolutely, absolutely impossible.

“Why can’t it be me?”

Xu Qingnian was calm as he poured a cup of tea and handed it to the other party.

Constable Chen did not drink it.

Instead, he stared at Xu Qingnian incomparably serious and said.

“I’ve practically grown up watching you.”

“It can’t be you.”

“Did Wu Yan tell you?”

“No, even if Wu Yan had told you, there was no way he would have told you the secret code, which was updated at the beginning of the month.”

“At that time, there is absolutely no way Wu Yan would have received the notification.”

“You …… Who the hell is it?”

Sheriff Chen was incredulous, he subconsciously thought it was Wu Yan who told Xu Qingnian, but quickly dismissed it, because the secret code was updated once a month, and Wu Yan was still on the run at that time.

He might even be dead.

It was impossible to get a new code word, let alone tell Xu Qingnian, unless it was a dream.

But that was even more nonsense.

“Who am I? Are you still not clear?”

Xu Qingnian said very calmly.

Constable Chen was utterly and completely at a loss for what to say.

He sat there, somewhat in disbelief.

Xu Qingnian told him to slowly calm down, it was useless to say anything now, and it was better not to say anything than to say anything.

After a long while.

Constable Chen’s eyes suddenly revealed a brilliant light and looked deadly at Xu Qingnian, saying.

“I understand!”

“I understand completely!”

“You are that lord.”

“I finally understand, having been struck by the poison of the Underworld, but being able to dissolve it for no reason.”

“Even if it was dissolved, in just a month’s time, you were able to make a name for yourself in the Southern Yufu, first as a famous name for a thousand years.”

“And after that, a superb article, it was all arranged from above, all from above, and you are the lord in charge of us.”

At this moment.

Constable Chen had figured it out.

He understood everything completely.

Xu Qingnian looked like a very ordinary person in his eyes, growing up without a father or mother, and he had watched him grow up.

Everything seemed very mediocre, not to mention studying, and his martial arts skills were also mediocre to the extreme.

As a result, just a month ago, Xu Qingnian was struck by the Yin and Underworld Cold Poison and was sure to die, but Xu Qingnian had survived.

He was even a little curious as to how Xu Qingnian had survived.

Then Wu Yan died without handing over anything to himself, which made him feel even more strange, until the top handed over to him and told him something, that there was another big shot in Ping’an County.

It was the real big man of the White Cloth Sect that was hiding in Ping’an County.

That lord was in control of the situation, so he didn’t say anything more about it.

What kind of organisation is the White Clothes Sect?

What is the greatest fear of a rebellious organisation? It is not about being caught, but about being uprooted, so it is extremely troublesome for the White Clothes Clan to contact each other, except for the top bra*s who know each other, others simply do not know who is who.

They don’t know each other’s identities.

But now Xu Qingnian’s appearance made him feel incredible, yet when he thought about what had happened to Xu Qingnian during this period of time.

He completely figured it out.

A normal person, practicing martial arts can’t, reading can’t, don’t look at Ping An County various bragging Xu Qingnian is a piece of reading material since childhood.

But he knew that Xu Qingnian was not a reader at all.

However, within a month, Xu Qingnian completed the ultimate transformation, not only did he enter the grade, what is more surprising is that Xu Qingnian went to the South Yufu and made a thousand ancient famous words, this is not enough, the government test is even made a superb essay.

This is simply incredible.

He had been thinking about it all this time.

How could Xu Qingnian suddenly soar to great heights all of a sudden?

Up until just now, he couldn’t understand it, but in that very moment, he figured it all out.

If Xu Qingnian could be transformed and soar to great heights within a month, there must be someone behind him.

But what kind of person would put Xu Qingnian in Ping’an County for twenty years?

And then suddenly let Xu Qingnian soar to the heavens?

And what kind of person could make Xu Qingnian world famous overnight?

After thinking about it, there was only one possibility.

That was the White Cloth Sect!

Only the White Clothes Sect, could do this, no other organisation, no other power, including anyone, could do this.

So Sheriff Chen straight away thought that Xu Qingnian was the big shot hiding in Ping’an County.

As for hiding so deep?

Sheriff Chen did not question it at all.

The reason was simple, Xu Qingnian was hiding deep, did he, Chen, not hide deep?

Sheriff Chen’s brain was somewhat powerful.

But what Xu Qingnian had to say was that he had rounded it off perfectly, ah.

To be honest, Xu Qingnian couldn’t think of such a perfect answer for a while.

This was good, he didn’t even need to think of something to say himself, Sheriff Chen had already thought of it for himself.

But what did the big man mean?

Was there another disciple of the White Cloth Sect in Ping’an County?

And from what Sheriff Chen said, it seemed that he was not an ordinary disciple.

Although there were doubts in his heart, Xu Qingnian hid them all, while on the bright side Xu Qingnian looked calm and said.

“You can guess my identity, you are also considered smart.”

Xu Qingnian opened his mouth, his tone calm and a response of sorts.

“Please forgive me, Your Excellency, the door rules are strict and do not allow my subordinates to ask more questions, if not for Your Excellency’s appearance, it would indeed be difficult for my subordinates to guess.”

Sheriff Chen half-kneeled on the ground and said with immense respect towards Xu Qingnian.

“Alright, sit down.”

Xu Qingnian poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and spoke immediately afterwards.

“Do you know what I have come to see you about?”

Xu Qingnian spoke, in this way, to trick for information.

It wasn’t a very clever trick, but it worked.

Sheriff Chen frowned, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

“Your Excellency is naturally here to find my subordinate for the matter of the Martial Emperor’s legacy treasure.”

He opened his mouth and said so.

The Martial Emperor’s Relic Treasure?

For a moment, Xu Qingnian was a little surprised, not to mention that he really didn’t know what the Martial Emperor’s Legacy Treasure was.

But in just a moment, Xu Qingnian understood what Wu Yan had handed over to him.

Ping’an County really did have something hidden.

And it was still a Martial Emperor’s Relic.

The clues in the booklet pointed to Ping’an County.

And the Martial Emperor’s Relic Treasure was also hidden in Ping’an County.

“The light of the bright moon on the bright moon mountain, the fate is in the yin and yang.”

If nothing else, the meaning of this sentence is the exact location of the Martial Emperor’s Relic Treasure, and the method to open it.

What a guy.

He had really found an amazing clue.

No wonder Cheng Lidong was so excited.

I didn’t expect it to be a Martial Emperor’s Relic.

Martial Emperor?

It’s not right, Emperor Wu was the previous emperor, what kind of treasures did he have?

Even if he had a treasure, it couldn’t have been placed in Ping’an County.

The logic didn’t make sense.

But this was nothing for the moment, just like why the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique had appeared in Ping’an County.

It didn’t make sense logically either.

But after some investigation, it all made sense.

Thinking about it, it was like the novels of the previous world, even if they were white, there couldn’t be no ambiguity at all, right?

“En.”

“How is your investigation going?”

Xu Qingnian took another sip of tea and asked calmly.

“Back to Your Excellency, my subordinate has been carefully investigating for the past few decades and has indeed found a little clue.”

“There isn’t any mountain in Ping’an County called Ming Yue Mountain, but there is a mountain where all ten miles and eight villages around Ping’an County would often meet and use to enjoy the moon decades ago.”

“It’s called Mount Wangqiu, so my subordinate believes that this might be Mount Mingyue.”

Sheriff Chen said seriously, he had investigated for decades without finding anything about the whereabouts of Ming Yue Mountain, but had found a mountain that was dedicated to moon viewing.

Xu Qingnian nodded his head.

He had never heard of any Ming Yue Mountain either.

If he really had to look hard, he would definitely not be able to find it.

But it was really possible to think logically for a change.

“En, it sort of works somewhat.”

“By the way, when Wu Yan came to Ping’an County, why did you delay in handing over to him? It almost exposed my identity.”

The first half of Xu Qingnian’s sentence was still a compliment, but then the words instantly changed and he said with a sense of reproach.

In an instant, Sheriff Chen fell to his knees and said with some trepidation.

“Please forgive me, Your Excellency, it is not that my subordinates did not go to hand over, but there were eyes all around, furthermore Wu Yan was a bit reckless at that time, and his trail was discovered.”

“Later on, when the South Yufu came again, my subordinate did not dare to act rashly, my subordinate knows that it is my subordinate’s fault for not doing a good job in this matter, and I hope your lordship will be kind.”

Sheriff Chen was sincerely frightened, just a word of accountability, and he was scared to death.

It was obvious that this White Cloth Sect probably had strict rules, otherwise they wouldn’t be so panicked.

“All right, for the sake of your hard work without merit, this matter will be forgotten.”

“But deadly sins are escaped, but living sins are hard to escape, you are punished by copying the rules of the sect once, including your position and so on.”

“I want you to remember these rules at all times, if you break them next time, don’t blame my lord for not helping you.”

Xu Qingnian said in a cold voice, and then took out a pen and paper from inside the inn and asked Sheriff Chen to copy them down.

The new information was deceptively obtained.

“Thank you, my lord, for being so gracious.”

Sheriff Chen was a little excited and was overjoyed as he took the paper and pencil and directly started copying the door rules.

He didn’t think much about it.

Xu Qingnian didn’t say much either, but stood outside the window and began to think about other things.

There was still a dark son in Ping’an County.

This White Cloth Sect was truly remarkable.

For a small Ping’an County, it had taken so much effort to plant so many undercover agents.

But on second thought, there was nothing wrong with the Martial Emperor’s legacy.

Then there would be no problem.

“Bright moonlight on the Bright Moon Mountain.”

“Karma is self contained in yin and yang.”

Xu Qingnian pondered over it carefully.

He did not ask Sheriff Chen about the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique.

Basically, he could expect that the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique was given by the White Cloth Sect.

What was the purpose of giving it to Wu Yan?

The Karmic Law was self contained in Yin and Yang.

One yin.

One yang.

Without any ripples, Xu Qingnian had the answer in his mind.

The trick to unlocking the treasure.

The trick to unlocking the treasure was to practise both the yin and yang arts.

The answer was out.
