Chapter 535: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (137)
Bai Chao followed Jing Hengzhou alone into the gate of Lingyun Sword Sect.
As he had promised, the others stayed put.
Thanks to Jing Hengzhou, Bai Chao had a smooth journey.
Jing Hengzhou turned his head to glance at Bai Chao, who had a cold expression.
After he came out of Zhishuiyuan, he went directly to Jiang Yide's residence and indeed overheard Bai Chao's news.
When Jing Hengzhou learned that Bai Chao had brought people to his sect, he knew that the people from Jinghong Villa had ill intentions. He used all his lightness skills to travel quickly and finally stopped the people before Bai Chao could take action.
Bai Chao sighed softly, "What are you looking at?"
Jing Hengzhou shook his head: "Nothing."
He knew that if he didn't let Bai Chao join Lingyun Sword Sect, they would probably not let him go.
In this case, it is better to keep a close eye on the person.
A hint of tenderness appeared in Jing Hengzhou's eyes.
He didn't expect that before he brought this person back, this person would come here on his own.
Although it was a bit sudden, since this person had come to his place, he didn't want to let him go.
Bai Chao couldn't stand Jing Hengzhou's undisguised gaze and glared at him dissatisfiedly: "You..."
"Young Master, we're here." Jing Hengzhou said in a gentle voice.
Bai Chao curled his lips and looked at the building in front.
This is the meeting hall of Lingyun Sword Sect.
Jing Hengzhou secretly squeezed Bai Chao's hand and said, "After we finish discussing the Young Master's affairs, why don't you stay here for a few more days?"
"..."
Bai Chao put his hands behind his back, ignored him, and strode into the conference room.
There were already quite a few people sitting inside, and at the head of the table was an old man with white hair and a beard.
Bai Chao glanced around and looked at the old man sitting above him: "Where is your leader?"
A middle-aged man scolded: "How dare you, kid!"
"You are the one who is insolent!" Bai Chao turned around and stared coldly at the middle-aged man. "I am the young master of Jinghong Villa. I came here to discuss important matters, but first you blocked the door, and then the leader avoided me. You from the Lingyun Sword Sect really have no manners at all."
The middle-aged man's eyes widened in anger: "Who knows what evil intentions you have in coming here this time! Outside..."
The old man above raised his hand to suppress the middle-aged man. Although he looked angry, he still kept quiet.
The old man said, "The Sect Master is currently in seclusion cultivating, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient for him to come out and chat with you."
"I am the acting head of the Lingyun Sword Sect. If you have any important matters, please consult me."
Bai Chao looked at the old man for a moment before sitting down at the head of the table. "Where's the tea?"
The middle-aged man next to him was about to lose his temper again, and the acting leader coughed.
"Come here, serve tea to the young master."
"Yes."
A servant came over to pour tea.
Bai Chao picked up the teacup and took a sip, frowning: "Your sect has really fallen on hard times, actually using this kind of tea to entertain guests."
"..."
Everyone on the field looked unhappy.
Only the acting headmaster remained calm and said, "Young Master, let's get down to business."
Bai Chao put down his teacup and asked, "I wonder if the acting leader has heard the rumors about the secret treasure appearing in the martial arts world?"
The acting headmaster nodded: "I have heard a little bit."
"Did the previous generation's leader know that this secret treasure was stolen?"
"I don't know."
"The secret treasure was born in Jinghong Villa, so it belongs to Jinghong Villa. If someone stole something from our family, we naturally have to ask for it back. Do you think it makes sense, acting headmaster?"
"reasonable."
Bai Chao laughed and said, "That's easy."
"How about Acting Sect Leader, let me search your sword sect thoroughly to see where the secret treasure is hidden?"
The middle-aged man could no longer hold back and slammed the table and stood up: "Nonsense! Our sect doesn't have any secret treasures at all, stop slandering us!"
Bai Chao didn't even raise his eyelids: "That's the truth."
"What evidence do you have that it was someone from our sword sect who stole it?!"
"Of course there is. Someone happened to see that the thief is from the Lingyun Sword Sect. The moves they used during the confrontation were the sword techniques of your sect."
"Bad talk!"
The acting headmaster coughed again: "Pu Yuan."
The middle-aged man paused and said angrily, "Chief... Acting Chief, please don't believe this kid's lies. He is slandering us!"
The acting headmaster shook his head and said, "Young friend Jiang, since you said that the secret treasure of your villa was lost, could you describe its specific appearance?"
"..."
Bai Chao's eyes flickered a few times: "I can't describe the specific shape, but as long as I see it, I will know whether it is true or not."
"..."
