Chapter 367 Qiao Rong and Qiao Lao
The gambling house was noisy. The people here were all cultivators, with cultivation levels ranging from the body-building realm to the Xuandan realm.
Their bets were all spirit stones, and the gambling tools here were all special and could not be interfered with or detected by magic, so there was no possibility of cheating.
Qiao Rong took Xiao Fan up to the second floor and walked into a secret room.
This secret room was also specially built, and outsiders could not detect what was happening inside.
After entering the secret room, Xiao Fan was startled because he saw a white-haired old man in the secret room.
"Mr. Qiao?" Xiao Fan was startled. He didn't expect to see Qiao Yuanzhou, the North Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion, here.
Qiao Yuanzhou smiled and said kindly: "I'm here."
Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Fan determined the other party's identity and bowed respectfully.
In Jingchuan, when Xiao Fan was insignificant, the other party protected him many times. Xiao Fan always remembered this favor.
"Sit down, you're welcome." Qiao Yuanzhou smiled and motioned Xiao Fan to sit opposite him.
Xiao Fan nodded and walked over, his face full of confusion. He was really confused this time.
Qiao Rong asked him to come, but he actually met Qiao Yuanzhou here.
Both of them have the surname Qiao, they are not from the same family... Xiao Fan quickly calculated the relationship between the two.
"Brother Xiao, why do you have this expression?" Qiao Rong looked at Xiao Fan with a smile, her eyes narrowed into a slit.
Xiao Fan: ".....Why do I have this expression, don't you know?"
He really couldn't help complaining, Qiao Rong obviously knew everything.
Qiao Yuanzhou smiled, and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Qiao Rong covered her mouth and smiled, and sat next to Xiao Fan.
"Okay, Rong'er, explain to Xiao Fan." Qiao Yuanzhou smiled.
Xiao Fan didn't say anything, intending to listen to what they said.
"Well... Actually I didn't intend to hide anything from you." Qiao Rong stuck out her tongue and pointed at Qiao Yuanzhou; "This is my grandfather, I'm sure you can see that."
"You are disrespectful." Old Qiao smiled bitterly.
Xiao Fan nodded, but still said nothing.
"I entered Jixian Sect to carry out a mission, to put it bluntly, I was a spy, but I had no ill will towards Jixian Sect. After they found out, they didn't punish me, but just kicked me out, but it was done quietly. I wanted to contact you at that time, but it happened too suddenly..."
Qiao Rong was helpless and continued: "Also, in the secret realm... I originally planned to keep a low profile and barely get enough victory points, and then enter the inner gate, but I relied on Cui Lang before, and that person was scared away by you..."
"Then I met you, and I heard my grandfather mention you before, saying that you are a very interesting person, so I wanted to stay with you... and then that's what happened afterwards."
Qiao Rong told everything that happened in one go.
Xiao Fan recalled carefully, and it seemed that their encounter was exactly as the other party said.
It was indeed that he accidentally ran into the man named Cui Lang and Qiao Rong on the road.
Then he took action, so Qiao Rong was stunned on the spot, directly betrayed the address of Yi Liangping's group, and then followed Xiao Fan.
In this way, Xiao Fan finally thought about the matter clearly.
But he still had a question.
"When did you enter the outer gate of Jixian Sect? Why didn't they deal with you?" Xiao Fan asked.
In fact, his question was a bit secretive. First, he wanted to know when Qiao Rong joined Jixian Sect.
Second, he wanted to know what kind of power was behind Qiao Rong.
Qiao Lao represented the Treasure Pavilion, and the Treasure Pavilion was suspected to be behind the Wuhuang Dynasty.
"I have been in Jixian Sect for about two years. I have been there all the time. I only contact the outside world when I go out on missions occasionally." Qiao Rong said with a smile, looking at Xiao Fan with a smile:
"As for the power behind me, I think you have guessed something."
Xiao Fan: ".....Just tell me."
Although he and Qiao Rong have not been in contact for a long time, they are quite familiar with each other.
"Let's not talk about the Treasure Pavilion. You know this. What you want to ask is whether the Treasure Pavilion is a subordinate of the Wuhuang Dynasty." Qiao Rong said: "Then I can tell you now that the rumors outside are correct, and what you think is also correct. The Treasure Pavilion does belong to the Wuhuang Dynasty."
Qiao Rong did not hide anything and admitted it openly. ..
Xiao Fan exhaled, which was consistent with his guess.
The Treasure Pavilion is indeed a subordinate force of the Wuhuang Dynasty.
And Qiao Yuanzhou and Qiao Rong are also people of the Wuhuang Dynasty.
In this way, he has figured out everything.
Jixianzong found out Qiao Rong's identity, but because she was a member of the Wuhuang Dynasty, she did not do anything to harm Jixianzong, so she was expelled and not punished.
On the other hand, it is probably related to Qiao Rong's identity. After all, Qiao Rong is the granddaughter of Qiao Yuanzhou.
If Qiao Rong is really killed, there will undoubtedly be subsequent troubles.
Even at this moment, Xiao Fan was wondering if the Wuhuang Dynasty thought of this, so they sent Qiao Rong there.
At the same time, he also lamented the complexity of these major forces.
"Okay, I called you here for no other reason than to see you." Qiao Rong said with a smile, "If you hadn't fought with those people from the Thunder Fire Sect yesterday, I wouldn't have known you were here."
