The Apothecary still found a relatively nice house for Zhou Xuan and the rest to stay even though the Spirit Condensation Mountain Village was destroyed . He did not dare to neglect these disciples of the Xuanling Sect .
“We will go pack our luggage now and gather at the Level 1 hall later to discuss the clues we have found today . ” Zhou Xuan acted as a leader and gave out commands .
No one had any objections, and everyone returned to their respective rooms .
Zhou Xuan held his composure until the moment he closed his door . He quickly removed his shirt and washed his hands repeatedly with water .
The corpses of the Spirit Condensation Mountain Village were there for quite a long time . Though they were spread with powder, it could not slow down the speed of decay . Furthermore, the weather was not cold, and it was possible to have a plague outbreak . That was the reason why Zhou Xuan did not touch any single corpse today .
“Where does Ye Qingtang come from?” Zhou Xuan finally washed off the stink on his body and then remembered Ye Qingtang's behaviors today .
He intended to make things difficult for her by asking her to investigate the skulls . However, she was not scared at all and found out the only clue .
Zhou Xuan felt slightly embarrassed, but… he was not in a rush to eliminate her now .
Zhou Xuan clearly remembered the revenge for Zhou Qu and the orders from Senior Brother Ning Luo . However, he realized the value of Ye Qingtang today . If he could make use of her to find out the truth of the tragedy in Spirit Condensation Mountain Village, it would save a lot of troubles for himself . He could eliminate her afterward… Then, he could kill two birds with one stone .
Zhou Xuan was proud of himself for such brilliant plans . He sat lazily in his chair with his legs crossed . He leaned on the back of the chair, and his eyes were cunning .
“Ye Qingtang, you should treasure the time you have left with and use your brain to help me complete my mission . ”
While Zhou Xuan was scheming against Ye Qingtang, Ye Qingtang left her room after washing up .
When she reached the hall, there were no other disciples yet . There was only one tall and handsome young man standing in the hall .
Wu Zheng heard the footsteps and saw Ye Qingtang coming down . He withdrew his sight and lowered his head humbly .
“Lady Ye . ” Wu Zheng addressed her with respect .
Ye Qingtang smiled and walked downstairs . She sat on a random chair and used one of her hands to support her head and looked towards Wu Zheng .
Wu Zheng was very tall and had delicate features on his face . He was not that shockingly handsome, but his face was flawless when one observed closely .
“Don't be so polite, Young Sir . Just sit down and talk . ” Ye Qingtang smiled at him .
Wu Zheng hesitated for a while and eventually sat down .
“Since you are adopted by Wu Chengze, do you know who your real parents are?” Ye Qingtang pretended to be bored and threw out a random question .
“My parents are normal hunters . They were killed while hunting . Father adopted me when I was still young back then . ” Wu Zheng replied .
“Young Sir, the Village Master and the Junior Masters died during the tragedy . I'm afraid that you will be the heir of the Spirit Condensation Mountain Village in the future, right?” Ye Qingtang chuckled and asked .
