Chapter 49: Cunning as a Ghost

  In the long river of time, many secrets are always hidden, and most people only see the surface, while the secrets buried behind events are forever in the hands of a few.

  Knowing too many secrets is often not a good thing, so in the future if you encounter any strange secrets, before confirming that they are really beneficial to you, the best approach is to run away as far as possible!

  The old man's teachings appeared in his ear at the right time.

  Luofu has many secrets, of course, some can't even be called secrets, they're just not well-known and haven't been widely spread.

  How many second-generation disciples does Lu Fu have?

  Yes, how many second-generation disciples does Luo Fu have?

  This is a problem.

  Most people only know about the five swords of Luo Fu with Lingguang Shangren as the leader.

  Kong Zhan knew one more thing, that was his master, Drunken Sword Mo Xiu. As for the other second-generation disciples, even if they were people from the same sect, he only felt familiar with their faces.

  Apart from a few truly outstanding individuals, there aren't many people who pay attention to them.

  But now, these invisible-like existences have caught Kong Yan's attention.

  How many then?

  No one can tell clearly.

  Look at the third generation of disciples now, outer door disciples, inner door disciples, personal disciples, core inner door disciples, adding up from top to bottom, there are no less than 8,000 or 10,000.

  Of course, the majority of them were still outer sect disciples.

  How many outer disciples spend their entire lives with the greatest wish of becoming inner disciples, yet this desire is often difficult to fulfill.

  However, Kong Zhuo's goal was not the outer sect disciples, at least such a possibility is very small, but even so, wanting to truly understand each person, or even just knowing their names, is almost an impossible task.

  Kong Rong did not like to challenge and would not think of finding suspicious people from that long list, which is a foolish thing to do.

  Of course, if Li Yuanhua knew about this idea, he would definitely be scolded severely, because that's exactly what he did before.

  "Alright, I don't know what you're secretly cultivating Xiao Bai for, but now that the foolish kid has left Luo Fu, shouldn't you be looking for a pawn of equivalent status?"

  Sitting in front of the wooden table, a sword manual was placed on it with an air of pretence. Kong Zhuo's face revealed a sinister smile, "You want a chess piece? Well, I'll give you one!"

  ……………

  …………

  Rufu's dusk is beautiful

  Kong Zuo likes to sit on the rocks of Qing Song Ping and watch the sunset, looking at the evening glow and the clouds on fire.

  These days have been quite relaxing lately.

  All his closest junior brothers and sisters have encountered troubles, so he has to deal with the barbecue alone, eating by himself.

  The other fellow disciples didn't have much interaction with him, recently he and Chang Yue got a bit closer, but this closeness was only because both of their strengths were obviously higher than the other three second-generation disciples by a big margin, naturally producing a sense of being on the same level, apart from that, there wasn't any particularly deep relationship.

  Yu Xuanji treated him as usual, as if he owed him a few hundred taels of silver. But thinking about it, last time he beat him half to death, his anger hadn't been vented elsewhere, so naturally he would hate himself to death. However, he had also done it for his own good, to make him understand his own strength and teach him a lesson, which was better than being taught a lesson by others after going down the mountain.

  As for Lin Yufeng, the relationship between them became somewhat subtle. The two had a general relationship with no grudges, but later due to Fang Shaobai's affairs, some conflicts arose. Later on, Lin Yufeng and Zhou Xue got married, leading to a series of events. Now, Lin Yufeng is deeply affected, although he is the second-ranked core disciple of Luo Fu, he has become a laughing stock in the entire cultivation world because of Zhou Xue's affairs. This made Kong Zhong feel sympathetic. Anyone who encounters such things can't help but feel disheartened for a while. In his heart, he sincerely hoped that Lin Yufeng would get out of this low point.

  Of course, whether such hope is sincere or just a pretence, nobody knows.

  As for the other inner door core disciples, except for the remaining three and some intersections, others are not very familiar with them. Those who have just joined the new mountain gate conference and been taken as formal disciples by his several masters, Kong Zhuo really hasn't seen a few of them.

  These people's faces flashed through Kong Yan's mind again and again.

  "So who should I choose?" Kong Zhan thought to himself, looking somewhat worried.

  This chess piece must be at least equivalent to Fang Shaobai's identity, so it can only be the core disciple of the inner door. After thinking about it, he is the most suitable one, but Kong Zhong doesn't have that kind of "I won't go to hell, who will" awareness. He originally intended to use Xuanji, but thinking again, no, he has to stand from the perspective of the layout rather than his own perspective.

  Among all the inner door core disciples, Yu Xuanji was one of the worst. His temper was extremely bad and his talent was average. Even Kong Zhong could see that this kid wouldn't amount to much, let alone be a mastermind. So, Kong Zhong somewhat regretfully struck him off the list.

  "But who else is there? No, it's no use thinking like this. I have to get in touch with them properly!" Kong Zhan thought to himself.

  At this time, the sun in the sky had slowly fallen down, the afterglow under the sky also disappeared, and the sky gradually darkened.

  "Hmm, how can there be someone on Qing Song Ping at this time?"

  It's worth noting that since Zhou Xue and Fang Shaobai had an accident, Qing Songping has almost become a forbidden place for the three generations of Luo Fu's disciples. No matter who comes here, whether it's Chang Yue or Kong Zhuo, they won't get a good reception. Now, someone is rushing over here in a hurry, and judging by Kong Zhuo's standards, this person's strength is quite lacking, only at the level of a third-generation disciple, which surprises him.

  "Big Brother Five, Big Brother Five......!"

  The soft and delicate voice made Kong Zhan's heart move, almost thinking it was Zhou Xue coming down from Suo Tianting. Turning his head to look back, he saw a pink-clothed girl displaying her agility as she came up from the stone platform below.

  Some look familiar, but can't think of where I've seen them before.

  "Mu Wan has seen the Fifth Master!" The little girl came to the edge of the cliff, lightly made a courtesy, her breathing was slightly heavy, and fine sweat beads seeped out on her face. Her originally pale face had become red all over due to the previous sprint, like a ripe apple. Her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting, which also caused Kong Zhong's heart to flutter.

  Mù Wǎn ah!

  He remembered that this was one of the newly promoted inner door core disciples from the last opening of the mountain gate, one of Luo Fu's five swords, Yue Hua Sword Wei Qingqing's disciple, and he was only 15 years old. Calculating it out, among all the inner door disciples, he was also the youngest, no wonder his cultivation was so poor!

  Kong Zhan's face showed a hint of a smile, "So it's Little Martial Sister, I didn't know you came to Qing Song Ping to find me, what's the matter?"

  Mu Wan saw Kong Yan's smile, her face turned even redder, and her voice unconsciously lowered, "Uh, that... Master asked me to come invite... invite Fifth Brother to go to Xiao Qing Peak to see her!"

  "Xiao Qingfeng?!?" Kong Zhuo's eyebrows twitched. This Xiao Qingfeng was the place where Yuehua Sword Sect's Qingqing cultivated, and also the gathering place for female disciples of the sect. Generally speaking, except for Ling Jia Shangren, other men were extremely unwelcome there. Wei Qingqing had never invited any man to Xiao Qingfeng before, so why did he invite himself today? This was a bit strange, wasn't it?

  However, looking at this little girl's appearance, she wouldn't come and lie to him, so he said, "In that case, please trouble my junior sister to lead the way!"

  Mù Wǎn's face turned red again, she nodded and said in a low voice, "Please follow me, Shī Xiōng!"

  Regardless of whether Kong Zhuan heard or not, he turned around and took Kong Zhuan towards the direction of that small Qingfeng.

  "That's not right!"

  Having walked about half of the way, Kong Zhuo suddenly thought of something and his heart skipped a beat, unknowingly stopping in his tracks.

  "Big brother, what's wrong?!" Seeing Kong Zhuo suddenly stop, Mu Wan also stopped in surprise and asked.

  "Sister, did Master really ask you to bring me to Xiao Qing Peak?"

  "Huh? What's going on?" Mu Wan replied, completely perplexed.

  "Are you sure? It was Master Shu who said it himself, telling me to go to Xiao Qing Peak?"

  Kong Zhuo's words left Mu Wan somewhat perplexed, she looked at Kong Zhuo's serious face, for a moment she didn't know what had happened, and became somewhat flustered, unable to speak.

  "Don't panic, think about it, what were Master Shu's exact words?"

  "What was that?! Mu Wan frowned and tilted her head, thinking for a moment, "Master told me to say... oh, I remember! She said, go bring your fifth senior brother to see me! That's right, she said exactly that!"

  "That is to say, she just let you come and take me to see her, but didn't say for me to go to Xiao Qingfeng to see her, right?"

  "But Master is right at Xiao Qingfeng now!" Mu Wan had already been completely confused by Kong Zhan.

  "That's not necessarily true!" Kong Zuo said, his smile becoming even more bizarre.
