Chapter 244: Exposed

Upon hearing this, the man raised his hand to signal Zhao to go in, but he turned around and walked out, which seemed to indicate that the matter had nothing to do with him and was hanging high.

Zhao took a look at the surrounding environment, exhaled, calmed his mind, and then walked inside.

It was different from what Zhao had imagined. The furnishings in the room were extremely simple. There was only a low table, a low bed, a screen, two or three pots of flowers, and two incense burners emitting faint smoke.

Beside the low table under the window, a person wearing an all-white mask and white gauze sat on the floor. Because he was wearing a mask and no headdress, it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

Seeing Zhao, he stayed where he was, blinking and looking around. The man knocked on the table and asked, "Have you seen enough? Tell me what you came for."

"Oh, oh." Zhao came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and asked: "I don't know which elder you are? I'm afraid that you alone won't be able to solve the problem..."

The man didn't speak for the first time, but looked at Zhao Jiu curiously. After a moment, he smiled disdainfully and said, "My codename is Wangshu. Don't worry, even though I'm the only one, I think I can still help."

After saying that, the man reached out and turned the lid of the incense burner, as if to kill boredom. The two fingers he stretched out were slender and neat, and as white as jade. Combined with the cold and delicate voice when she spoke just now, it seemed that she was a woman.

No wonder the codename is Wangshu. The moon is in line with his temperament. Zhao thought to himself, and immediately smiled and flattered him: "It turns out to be Elder Wangshu, so I'll be relieved."

After organizing his words in his mind, he said with a bit of panic: "Elder, someone has been following me these past few days. I suspect it is the Jin Yiwei."

"Just for this little thing?" Wang Shu was a little surprised and asked in a calm voice.

She really couldn't understand how a little Jin Yiwei, not a grand master, could frighten him so much that his tone of voice changed.

"Ouch." Zhao pretended to be anxious, took a few steps forward and said in a low voice: "Elder, I don't want to increase other people's ambitions and destroy my own prestige. That Jin Yiwei is not simple, even Elder Yu Heng died in into his hands."

"I...I am not as good as Elder Yuheng in cultivation, so there is no reason not to be afraid."

But Wangshu didn't seem to hear it and still turned the lid of the incense burner. After a moment, he asked thoughtfully: "When did you find out that you were being followed? And how did you find out that the person following you was the Jin Yiwei?"

Zhao was stunned. Although he had thought about asking this question, what he didn't expect was that after he said so much, she would actually be curious about it.

But after she asked the question, she couldn't help but answer it. I had no choice but to pretend to be frightened and said: "When I was eating two days ago, I accidentally discovered that someone had been staring at me. So after several tests, I found that I was indeed being stared at."

"I think the only person we have any contact with in Bianzhou is the Jin Yiwei, so..."

"So you just jumped to conclusions without verification?" Wang Shu couldn't wait for Zhao to finish his words and asked impatiently.

"This... this..." Zhao hesitated.

"Yes and no?"

Zhao simply sat down, sighed, and said helplessly: "This, with my level of cultivation... I can't verify it..."

After the words fell, the two people sitting opposite each other fell into silence. There is indeed nothing wrong with what Zhao said. His cultivation is not enough and he cannot even catch up. How can he verify it?

Wang Shu retracted his finger, stared straight at Zhao Jiu, and asked, "How sure are you that the person following you is the Jin Yiwei?"

"Fifty percent," Zhao said.

"What's the difference between saying it and not saying anything?"

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Zhao smiled awkwardly and explained: "I just looked back from a distance and was really unsure. However, I dare to pat my chest and guarantee that it is definitely not one of our own!"

Isn’t this still nonsense! Wangshu was a little worried. Who had recruited this guy in front of him? He was as timid as a mouse and couldn't provide any help at all.

What's the use of him?

She felt depressed and couldn't help but look at Zhao Jiu from head to toe. When his eyes fell on his fingers, his eyes flickered.

Interesting, really interesting. I didn’t expect someone to be so brave.

While he was thinking to himself, his thoughts were interrupted by Zhao Jiu's voice.

"Elder, you have to think of a way, otherwise, I'm afraid my life will be in danger!"

here we go again! Wangshu gritted his teeth and said, "Can you stop being so timid! I'm sitting across from you, what are you afraid of?"

Zhao smiled awkwardly, "I'm not afraid now, but I can't always be here, right? Besides, I'm not being cautious..."

“As the saying goes, you never go too far wrong with caution.”

Wang Shu sighed, waved his hand to interrupt Zhao Jiu who was chattering, and said angrily: "You are a high-ranking person after all, why don't you even have the confidence to test it? Can't you run away if you can't beat me?"

After deliberately hesitating for a moment, he smiled awkwardly and said, "You really can't run away."

"You can't run away, or you don't need to run?" Wang Shu's voice was still cold, but there was a hint of ridicule in it.

"Elder, what do you mean by this?" Zhao raised his head, his eyes widened, and looked at her in horror.

She didn't explain much, just stood up holding on to the low table. Looking at Zhao Jiu condescendingly, he smiled sarcastically and said, "What do you mean? Haha. To be honest, you are very courageous. Even if you kill my people, you dare to sneak in under your name."

"Elder, what nonsense are you talking about? I am the Ghost Golden Sheep! How can I pretend to be someone else?"

"Shut up! You are about to die, but you still dare to be stubborn!" Wangshu shouted.

He pointed his finger at Zhao Jue and laughed contemptuously, "Do you really think you have no flaws?"

At this time, Zhao Jue didn't know that he was exposed! But what he couldn't figure out was that there was nothing reasonable in his words, so how could he be exposed?

But since he was seen through, there was no need to hide it. At most, he was just a small master, and there was no one behind him.

He simply stood up leisurely and asked in confusion: "How did you see it?"

"I didn't see it." Wangshu laughed twice and teased: "I haven't confirmed that there is anything wrong with you. I just tricked you. I didn't expect you to take it seriously. It's really an unexpected gain."

Uh... Zhao Jue's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that he would be pecked in the eye by a sparrow after playing with eagles all day. Alas, miscalculated.

"Oh, I should have been stubborn if I had known."

Wangshu lowered his eyebrows and said calmly, "Any last words? If not..."

"You can die now."
