Chapter 699 You Say a Number

Not long after, Deacon Ding returned and reported to the Great Elder: "When the confiscated items were put into the warehouse, there was indeed a ninth-grade sword, but I don't know why it disappeared later..."

The Great Elder remained calm and asked: "Has anyone touched this Qiankun bag in the warehouse?"

"This..." Deacon Ding hesitated.

The elder frowned slightly: "What is there to hesitate about? Just tell me who it is..."

Deacon Ding lowered his head: "In addition to the normal official inspection, only Master Qing came to check this Qiankun bag two days ago..."

"Qing'er?"

The elder's face sank: "Where is this brat now? Call him over!"

At this time, another deacon next to him replied: "Elder, your son is not in Bohai Palace now. He left Bohai Palace two days ago and I don't know where he went..."

The elder's face was finally unbearable at this time, and he said angrily: "Check! Check for me quickly! This kid will definitely leave clues, find out his whereabouts for me quickly!"

Seeing that things suddenly turned out like this, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel depressed.

It sounds like the elder's son suddenly stole the Feihong Sword two days ago and took it out.

And two days ago, it happened to be when he was making a fuss in Chunyang Palace...

How could it be so coincidental? He had just made a big scene in Chunyang Palace, and the son of the great elder here left Bohai Palace with Feihong Sword?

For a moment, Lu Yu himself couldn't help but feel a little unsure. Was this a deliberate arrangement by the great elder to act in front of him, or was there another reason?

If this was really a play directed and acted by the other party, how did they know that there was something wrong with Feihong Sword?

"Who is this 'Qing'er'?"

Just as everyone in Bohai Palace was actively investigating the whereabouts of "Qing'er", Lu Yu asked Ling Yufei and others.

"This person's name is Hua Tianqing, the 36th son of the great elder..." Ling Yufei replied in a low voice.

"What?" Lu Yu stared in astonishment and interrupted, "Say it again, which one is it?"

"The thirty-sixth..."

Ling Yufei repeated it and looked at Lu Yu with understanding, "The elder does have many children. In fact, he has forty children so far, and I heard not long ago that his new concubine is pregnant. It seems that there are signs of further increase..."

Forty children!

Lu Yu couldn't help but stare with wide eyes, and turned his head involuntarily to look at the elder, but at this time, he always gave him a feeling of being unable to bear to look directly.

Even in the imperial family, there are few people with so many children, and cultivators are different from the imperial family. Cultivators need to spend a lot of time on cultivation, and they don't have so much energy to spend on matters between men and women. I really don't know how this elder allocates his time and finds a balance between children and cultivation.

In the Dali Sword Sect, there are also many real elders who have given birth to children, but most of them are not more than two digits. The Great Elder is simply unique.

"Although the Great Elder has many children, most of them are mediocre, and this Hua Tianqing is the most talented one among them. The Great Elder is particularly fond of him and regards him as the one who inherits his mantle."

"And because of the Great Elder's preference, he has been able to get whatever he wants in Bohai Palace since he was a child, and his reputation is at its peak... Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that he has developed a dictatorial character. Things like stealing treasures from the warehouse have happened more than once..."

Ling Yufei said, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, obviously thinking of how unfair fate was. Hua Tianqing had never been punished despite repeated admonitions, but she was wronged for no reason.

"Who told me to have a good father?"

At this time, Bi Qiushuang suddenly said: "In fact, the Palace Master had wanted to severely punish Hua Tianqing many times, but he was saved by the Great Elder. As a result, he became more unscrupulous and lawless..."

Lu Yu couldn't help but feel moved. Could this be the origin of the conflict between the Palace Master of Bohai and the Great Elder?

"However, this guy and Yu Qingya are a perfect match. It really fits the saying - bitch and dog!"

Bi Qiushuang didn't say the last four words out loud, but just gestured with her lips, but several people understood it and couldn't help laughing.

Lu Yu couldn't help wondering, "What does this have to do with Yu Qingya?"

"Brother Lu doesn't know yet, right?"

At this time, Yu Xiaoyu spoke up, "Yu Qingya is so powerful. After taking advantage of Su Jianqiu to get promoted, she immediately dumped him and turned to Hua Tianqing, who is even taller than her, and she wants to be the daughter-in-law of the great elder!"

"It's a pity that the situation changes. I didn't expect that Young Master Hua was just playing with her. After getting tired of her, he quickly turned his face and turned his back on her. Her dream of becoming the young lady of the Hua family is just wishful thinking..."

"Poor Su Jianqiu, he was played by her for no reason, and he has never recovered since then, even his cultivation level has fallen. He also ran to Sister Fei to cry and said that he wanted to change his past and reconcile with Sister Fei. Unfortunately, Sister Fei already had someone new in her heart and ignored him..."

Ling Yufei blushed and hit Yu Xiaoyu lightly to stop her from continuing: "Why are you saying this?"

While talking, she secretly glanced at Lu Yu, and saw that there was no unhappy expression on Lu Yu's face, so she was slightly relieved.

Bi Qiushuang also echoed: "That's right, the surname Su has brought this upon himself, and now he has ended up like this, so why do you say that!"

Lu Yu finally understood why he didn't see Su Jianqiu beside Yu Qingya when he saw her before.

He couldn't help but look at Yu Qingya on the side.

At this time, she was no longer kneeling on the ground. She had already been rescued by the steward of Bohai Palace. She was standing in the crowd, looking at him without blinking. When she saw Lu Yu's eyes, she immediately showed a frightened expression.

This woman was also very powerful. She made the entire Bohai Palace like a bloody third-rate drama.

However, Lu Yu couldn't help but think again: The reason why Yu Qingya was able to jump up and down might also involve the power struggle behind the scenes of Bohai Palace. Otherwise, how could she jump back and forth in front of people like the Great Elder and Palace Master Li with just her tricks?

Lu Yu shook his head and ignored these bloody plots in Bohai Palace. Instead, he asked: "Is this Hua Tianqing proficient in forging? Or did he originally have no weapons at hand, so he set his sights on the Feihong Sword?"

Ling Yufei and others gave negative answers to both questions.

Lu Yu was even more confused. If it wasn't for forging, nor because he was lacking a weapon, why did he steal the Feihong Sword for no reason?

At this time, the elder came over again.

After asking around, he finally gave up looking for his son's whereabouts and said to Lu Yu: "Mr. Lu, my son is naughty and took your weapon out of curiosity. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find it for the time being..."

"How about this, how much is this weapon worth? You tell me the number and I'll compensate you!"
