Chapter 1427 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
There was nothing unusual around him, and he didn't find anyone.
But he always had a feeling that someone was watching him.
He asked the question simply to confirm something. Normally, if someone were hiding in the shadows and heard him say that, they would assume they had been discovered and would definitely show themselves.
However, after a dozen or so breaths, no one appeared.
Chao Xianxue frowned. Could it be that he was overthinking things?
"Host, I thought he had really found you, but this intuition is terrifying," 997 said.
If it were someone else, they might have actually been tricked into revealing their identity.
At this point, it's best not to show your face.
Even if she meant no harm, she and Chao Xianxue weren't very familiar with each other yet, and discovering so many of her secrets would definitely make her uneasy.
Therefore, Azhen left Xingyue Palace quietly.
After she left, Chao Xianxue suddenly calmed down, and even felt that the feeling she had before was just an illusion.
Azhen didn't actually go far. She went to the nearest city at the foot of the mountain, found an inn to stay in, and kept an eye on all kinds of news in the martial arts world.
Half a month later, Shen Linsu, Yan Rugo, and the woman from Xingyue Palace who was disguised as Chaoyue quietly left the area where Xingyue Palace was located and headed in an unknown direction.
Chao Xianxue appeared to stay at Xingyue Palace, but Azhen discovered that he had also disguised himself and followed Su Yinlan secretly, following her.
Not only that, he also sent the message of the Heavenly Questionnaire to many people in the martial arts world, and now many people have secretly followed him. However, because Chao Xianxue controlled the distance well, Shen Linsu and Yan Rugo, who were walking ahead, had no idea.
The fewer people who know about finding treasure, the better. There were only three of them, and they didn't even bring any of their loyal followers. They were afraid of something going wrong, so it was even less likely that anyone would help them find out information.
"The Palace Master has been quite mysterious these past few years. I wonder how much progress he has made in his divine skills?" Yan Rugo asked.
Su Yinlan said, "I didn't expect that the Yan family head would also be involved, and that he even has the Heavenly Questioning Gold Fragment. It's quite surprising."
"I've heard that the Yan family head and his wife are very loving. Aren't you afraid that Shen Miao will suspect something since you've been gone for so long?"
Yan Rugo wasn't angry and maintained her smile: "I'm just going treasure hunting, not doing anything shameful. It's just that things haven't come to a conclusion yet. Once there's a result, it won't matter if Miaomiao finds out."
“It’s quite difficult to see the Palace Master even once,” Shen Linsu interjected. “The Palace Master has been living a very comfortable life these past few years, but he has ruined me. Now I can’t even go home.”
"What are you?" Su Yinlan said bluntly. "What does it matter to me whether you're doing well or not? The Heavenly Questionnaire has always been awarded to the winner. If you didn't keep it safe, don't blame others for taking it away."
"It seems the rumors in the martial arts world are untrue. Everyone says that the Palace Master of the Dynasty was infatuated with my elder brother, and that they had a big argument about it back then," Yan Rugo said.
Su Yinlan sneered: "That was so many years ago. Besides, Shen Linsu was a scoundrel back then. You people have no idea that the reason I had a grudge against him wasn't just because he didn't agree to my request, but also because he took the opportunity to steal weapons from my Star Moon Palace."
Yan Rugo was genuinely stunned for a moment, staring at Shen Linsu for several seconds, even somewhat incredulous.
Shen Linsu, however, felt no discomfort whatsoever. What was wrong with using some tricks for the sake of the Heavenly Questionnaire? Unfortunately, that weapon did not contain any Heavenly Questionnaire gold pieces.
Once it is damaged beyond repair, it becomes completely useless.
Throughout the journey, neither Shen Linsu nor Yan Rugo doubted that the "Chaoyue" in front of them was an imposter.
After all, Su Yinlan's tone of voice, actions, and even some details of their acquaintance matched up, so they never thought she might be a fake.
The three of them were on guard, only taking out the gold pieces for comparison when searching for a way, and not giving anyone a chance to copy them.
Shen Linsu and Yan Rugo never imagined that their extreme caution, their fear of leaking information, would lead to many in the martial arts world receiving notifications about the Heavenly Questionnaire. Xu Shan, far away at the Xu family's residence, also received a notification one morning upon waking.
Upon seeing this, Xin Shun asked, "Would you like to go and take a look, sir?"
The Xu family possesses the Valley of Forgetfulness, and while the Heavenly Questioning of Treasures is certainly a possibility, the Master probably wouldn't care too much. However, it's human nature to join in the fun, and since Miss is currently out adventuring in the martial world, she might have received a similar prompt and might go to join the excitement.
Therefore, the master will likely go there, and perhaps see if he can run into the young lady.
As for concerns about the lady's safety?
Xin Shun just wanted to laugh. With the young lady's current martial arts skills, she could defeat him and the master with one hand. There was no need to worry at all. If anything really happened, they would be the ones to hold them back.
"Let's go check it out. I feel like it's going to be quite a spectacle this time. I've received the news, and I think a lot of people have too. Wouldn't it be a shame to miss out on such a lively event? Zhen'er will probably be there too." Xu Shan was quite excited, but not for the Tianweng treasure.
He felt that the Tianwen questionnaire matter should be nearing its end.
By then, the martial arts world will probably be quiet for a while, which would be great.
Shen Yue from Peach Blossom Manor also received the message from Tianwenjuan, and of course she wouldn't miss out on this exciting event.
She even revealed this information to Yi Xiaolan and Chu Yanzhi.
Seeing the surprise and eagerness on their faces, she knew they probably wanted to go too.
"The Heavenly Questionnaire has been rumored in the martial arts world for so many years. Now that I have this opportunity to witness it, I plan to go and see for myself."
"Let Yanzhi go with you. He can help if there's any danger." Yi Xiaolan also wanted to go, but she didn't know martial arts and knew that she couldn't do anything in such a chaotic situation, so it was better not to go.
Yanzhi has gone. Once she hears news of Shen Lang, she will definitely tell him.
Shen Yue did not refuse and went along with Yi Xiaolan's wishes. The next day, the two set off.
At the Yan family home, Shen Miao was packing her luggage.
"Mother, do you think Father will go to Tianwen?" Yan Qing asked.
Shen Miao said, "It should be. Now that I know everything, he must know too, probably even earlier than I did. The martial arts world is about to descend into chaos, and I'm a little worried. I'm going to go and take a look. I'll leave the household affairs to you."
"Okay." Yan Qing nodded, showing no intention of insisting on going along.
Shen Miao, who had just stepped out of her house and mounted her horse, did not look well.
She even suspected that Yan Rugo had long been involved in the Tianwenjuan matter, but she didn't know what he had done for it.
At this moment, she truly understood her niece's feelings.
Hopefully nothing bad will happen this time.
As the martial arts community followed the marks to Shen Linsu and his companions, the three of them arrived at an unfamiliar mountain ravine. According to the map on the Heavenly Questioning Gold Fragment, the treasure should be nearby.
They didn't dare ask for help, so they had to search on their own, comparing the terrain bit by bit to find possible traps and entrances.
Finally, after three days, they found the entrance. The three of them were wary of each other and of any traps that might appear, and cautiously made their way inside.
Shortly after they went inside, Azhen appeared, but instead of going in, she found a place to sit down. (End of Chapter)
