Chapter 1439 Chu Xiao, Honest and Honest?

The next moment, it was dawn.

The dawn light dissipated the female ghost inch by inch. She was like the white snow under the spring sky, quickly becoming invisible...

Chu Xiao knew very well that it was not that the female ghost was killed, but that her existence during the day was sealed and she could only reappear at night...

Including Yin Ling and others from before, they all fell into a deep sleep, and then as a breeze passed by, a glimmering light appeared around them, and they returned to various places with the wind.

"Well, I found out a lot of secrets this night..."

Chu Xiao's eyes wandered, and then he thought about it and ran towards Yin Ling's door.

Boom, boom, boom!

There was a knock on the door, and the girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "What, what are you doing, this early in the morning... Huh? Is this you, little brother?"

After seeing Xiao clearly, she yawned, looking innocent and innocent, completely different from the queenly posture she had last night!

Chu Xiao observed it carefully for a while, and tried some words to test it, and found that this girl really didn't have any disguise at all!

Obviously, she was not lying about one thing, that is, she was really "being a human during the day and a ghost at night"!

"I guess I can't get any more information from here."

After Chu Xiao probed for a while, he understood Yin Ling's situation. Then he found an excuse to leave, and then went straight to the great elder's residence!

At this time, the great elder was reviewing official documents all night long. He looked very much like a diligent and selfless leader, but Chu Xiao's eyes when he looked at him had changed from looking at his senior to one of vigilance and solemnity.

This person hides very deeply.

Not to mention that it is comparable to thousands of people and thousands of faces, but it can definitely be regarded as a very powerful city! Even if he didn't use his supreme consciousness, he couldn't discover that this person had such a far-reaching plan!

But then again.

Chu Xiao had already seen that this guy was anything but simple, but he didn't expect that this old man would actually have such a heavy "dig into the plot"!

And now, he is ready to continue digging deeper, because even the words of the two women cannot completely convince him!

"Hello, senior."

Chu Xiao stepped forward, cupped his fists and saluted.

Naturally, he would not go straight to the point and tell the great elder everything.

"Oh, it's you."

The Great Elder glanced at Chu Xiao and nodded slowly, "What important matter did you come to see me for?"

This attitude is neither salty nor bland.

Obviously, people who "don't know the forbidden land" have little value in his eyes!

The female ghost did not lie on this point.

Chu Xiao's mind turned and he said: "It's nothing important. I just want to apologize to the great elder for one thing."

"Oh? Please excuse me?"

The great elder became interested now, raised his head slightly and said, "What are you asking for? Are you kidding me?"

Chu Xiao did not be polite to him, and said directly: "It happened when I came to this room last time, when I accidentally touched a mechanism... and then... I found some lights inside! "

Speaking of this, Chu Xiao stared at the Great Elder and said, "And those lamps are exactly the same as the lamps I saw at the inn. I don't know if the Great Elder will blame me for this, so I carefully concealed it..."

At this point, the atmosphere in the venue changed instantly.

The great elder's eyes were deep, and there seemed to be a killing intent in the air!

He seemed ready to take action.

But, there is a trace of hesitation!

After all, he has always been a suspicious person. He was very suspicious that Chu Xiao dared to come to him and openly explain the matter, so he was not inclined to take action directly!

After a while, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Those are just some old things that I made when I had nothing to do. My little friend took a look and looked at them. It's nothing."

"call!"

When Chu Xiao heard this, he deliberately made a relieved expression and said, "That's good. I was worried that the elder would suspect me of stealing a lamp. After all, there was one less lamp in there..."

"What did you say!?"

The great elder's pupils shrank wildly, and he shouted violently, then he ignored Chu Xiao and rushed directly into the secret passage. Chu Xiao remained motionless, just looking at the guy's back with a smile...

When he came back, his face was so gloomy that he looked like he was about to drip water. He turned around and said to Chu Xiao: "My friend, are you sure that one lamp was missing when you saw it yesterday?"

The implication is that Chu Xiao is suspected of stealing!

Chu Xiaoxin said that it was true, but she showed a look of sincerity and fear on her face, clasping her fists and saying: "Senior, forgive me, I did see that the lamps did not have all the holes, and there was only one left! That's why I I dare not say more, lest the seniors think of me as a thief!"

"Then why did my little friend come here to tell you directly now?"

The great elder narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Xiao suspiciously.

Chu Xiao's lips twitched slightly and he said, "If I tell you, the Great Elder must not laugh at me."

"Um?"

The great elder was stunned when he heard this, then waved his hand and said, "Of course I won't laugh at you, just tell me!"

Chu Xiao took a deep breath when he heard the sound, and then said: "The reason is very simple... because I have been honest since I was a child, and I will get anxious when lying or hiding the truth, so I didn't sleep well last night and I really couldn't bear it. I’m here to confess to you, Great Elder!”

Once we had a phone call, what we said was sincerity.

The elders were all confused: Is there such an honest child?

Subconsciously he felt that Chu Xiao was lying.

But in the blink of an eye, if I was really lying, why did I make up such a lame excuse? No cunning person would do this, right?

The Great Elder couldn't help but turn his eyes again, staring deeply at Chu Xiao, looking at his innocent face...

There is no doubt that Chu Xiao's acting skills are even better than those of the Great Elder!

It’s just that the great elder has no idea what level of opponent he is facing!

This is a guy who has been deceived by countless powerful enemies!

I believe no one can believe this guy’s innocence!

However……

After all, there are no powerful enemies from Chu Xiao's past who have come forward to remind the elder.

Therefore, after the Great Elder pondered for a moment, he slowly nodded to Chu Xiao.

"Well, it seems that you are not lying, so I won't hide it from you. In fact... those lamps are things I refined. They can keep this place running. Without them, maybe this place will not last long. It will collapse!"

The great elder said solemnly.

Chu Xiao secretly curled his lips when he heard the sound, thinking to himself, are you coaxing ghosts? If this thing is really like that, why was there no movement at all yesterday? Not to mention, this is clearly the beginning of an excuse to ask others to help you find something...

as expected.

The great elder said the next moment: "Therefore, this thing must be recovered! Can you help me, little friend?"

"this……"

When Chu Xiao heard this, he looked a little hesitant, and the great elder immediately said: "Of course, I won't give you any reward! If you want to know anything, you can just ask me!"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant, senior! What I mean is that since I saw one of the lamps missing with my own eyes, but didn't tell the great elder directly, then I am also responsible for this matter, so naturally I want to help. Yes! It’s just that I’m afraid that if I don’t have enough skills, I’ll let you, Great Elder, take care of me..."

Chu Xiao whispered.

After listening, the great elders fell silent.

This, what a good child...
