Chapter 337 Forget all that, just do it!
"Young lady, you need to think this through. Even if you are safe today, it doesn't mean you'll have a peaceful life in the future."
The senior members gathered around and asked the questions they most wanted to know.
"Wugensheng, where has he gone hiding?"
However, when questioned by the elders, Feng Baobao, whose body was bound like a rice dumpling, first twisted her body, then blinked her eyes, and answered somewhat blankly.
"Wugensheng? I don't know him. Are you old men mistaken?"
Upon hearing the answer, the elderly people ignored Feng Baobao's subsequent words and turned to look at an old man holding a compass and calculating with his eyes closed.
She wasn't lying.
A moment later, the old man holding the compass opened his eyes, frowned, and answered the silent questions of the elders.
This senior is the leader of the Shuzi Sect, a mixed group of people, including families and factions. It is a place where sorcerers from all walks of life in the world of supernatural beings band together for mutual support.
As the leader, the old sorcerer's skills were naturally profound. When he entered the inner realm, he only asked a simple question—did Feng Baobao lie?
Asking questions within the inner realm to obtain answers and glimpse the secrets of the heavens is a specialty of sorcerers.
Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The [Inner View] will not allow sorcerers to spy without restraint, and there are many taboos surrounding it.
The more extensive and far-reaching the questions asked by a warlock, the more difficult it will be to obtain answers, and may even overwhelm the warlock who asked the question.
Moreover, sorcerers who frequently peek into the inner realm will be punished, some severely, some with loss of cultivation, and others with loss of spirit and even death.
Wang also calculated the cause and effect of Lü Qian and the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony in the inner realm. Even though he possessed the Feng Hou Qi Men, he still risked half his life and almost died in the inner realm.
This shows the influence of the sorcerer's inquiries into the inner landscape; however, rules are rigid, but people are flexible!
Sorcerers are a group of quick-witted and resourceful people. If they can't get an answer by directly asking questions, they will try to find a roundabout way to solve the problem from another angle.
The secrets related to Wugensheng, and the complexities involved, are so obvious that even a child could understand them; they are simply not something an ordinary person could bear.
Furthermore, during the Jia Shen Rebellion, various factions gathered at the Wang family to interrogate Feng Tianyang, each employing their own methods: the Gu poison of Qinghe Village, the talismans of the Talisman Sect, and the Yin Spirit possession of the Yin Spirit Sect...
They exhausted all these methods but couldn't get any information out of him. Even the Yin God Sect's old leader, whose Yin God had cultivated for a lifetime, had his body shattered by the unknown restrictions on Feng Tianyang's body.
The old leader of the Yin Shen Sect almost died on the spot because his Yin Shen was damaged.
Having learned from the experience of their predecessors, the elders became more cautious in interrogating Feng Baobao this time, choosing the simplest and most credible method.
The inner questioning doesn't directly ask whether Feng Baobao's statement is correct; instead, it asks whether Feng Baobao is lying, thus finding the answer in reverse.
In this way, all parties can get a definite answer from Zhang Zhiwei and Lü Qian, and the accident of that year will not happen again.
The old sorcerer's answer did not disappoint the elders, who then continued to ask questions.
"Young lady, what is your relationship with Wugensheng?"
"I don't know. I have no memories of my past, not even my family. Zhang Chulan and the others say I have amnesia, and they're the ones helping me regain my memories."
After answering, the old men looked at the old sorcerer as always, only to see him open his eyes and shake his head.
It's clear that Feng Baobao wasn't lying after all.
Feng Baobao rummaged twice on the ground, then sat up. In the moonlight, her expression was blank yet sincere, her pupils reflecting the figures of the elderly people. She then turned around and asked a question.
"What's wrong, old man? Do you know my family? Can you tell me?"
This performance made many of the elderly people frown. They looked at Feng Baobao and saw that her madness and stupidity did not seem to be faked, and pondered for a moment.
"Is this girl really a fool?"
"I'm not stupid. I know a lot of things, and I'm quite clever."
Feng Baobao earnestly refuted the seniors' evaluation of her. She tried to stand up a few times, but lost her balance due to the restraints and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
This performance confirmed the suspicions of many senior figures: Feng Baobao was probably mentally unstable.
"This is troublesome."
The elders, some rubbing their fingers, others stroking their beards, all glanced behind them, where two Taoist priests stood with their backs to them.
With these two present, and Lu Jin from the Lu family not far away, these three would not allow them to use any special means to bully the weak.
In that case, our original goal for tonight might not come to fruition.
What they didn't know was that Feng Baobao hadn't told the whole story either. This seemingly dull girl cleverly concealed some information—information that no one had ever confirmed for her.
For example, whether she is Wugensheng's daughter or not is an answer that Feng Baobao herself doesn't know, so it can't be considered a lie.
"Hey, you from Qinghe Village, why don't you try some Gu poison? Let's see if you can cure this little girl's brain?"
"Get lost! You think poison is like chives in the ground, something you can just harvest whenever you want?"
An elderly woman, bathed in moonlight and dressed in distinctive clothing, tapped the ground with her cane.
"Forget about treating this silly girl's brain with the right medicine; even the love potion used for interrogation takes at least three days to concoct. Who can give us three days right now?"
The old woman tapped her cane, glanced anxiously behind her, then snorted coldly into the distance, speaking with a hint of sarcasm.
"This Chairman Zhao is truly generous in his dealings. He's already sent people right to our doorstep, what's a few more steps?"
The veteran employees paid no attention to the company staff who appeared in the distance. To them, those nearly one hundred employees in uniforms were just another group of young people.
If only two or three peers had gathered, they would naturally have backed down. But now that nearly twenty peers were working together, they were confident that they could conquer the entire South China region.
This is why Su, the chairman of Nadutong, was so nervous when he heard that these senior figures had gathered together.
They are all men with their heads buried in the yellow earth, their cultivation and skills are all perfected. If they suddenly had an idea, the companies in South China wouldn't be enough for them to dismantle.
For these elderly superhumans, it was nothing unusual for them to be subservient and obedient as juniors when they were young.
But now that they are all leaders, it would be unreasonable to be subservient to them!
If they can't stand up straight and speak with confidence after accumulating a century of cultivation and honing their skills, then all their hard work has been in vain.
So, who cares about all that, just do it!
