Chapter 360.1

Reasons (1)

Lei Guang’s words were sincere, and it really sounded like that was the case. Chu Qing didn’t doubt that he was like that, and said lightly, “To think that city lord Lei has such a heart, thank you in advance. But if you want to deal with Feng Shao and the Tiangang Sword Sect, you have to think long-term.”

At least he wasn’t too arrogant, knowing that Wuling City and Tiangang Sword Sect were not so easy to deal with. It’s just that in his heart, he still thinks that he has a good chance of winning.

At this time, Gu Sheng, who hadn’t opened her mouth all this time, suddenly asked, “City lord Lei, there is something in my heart that I want to ask, I don’t know if I should say it or not?”

Lei Guang nodded and said, “Miss Gu, no need to worry, it’s okay to say.”

Gu Sheng said in a deep voice, “The little girl heard that the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect were ambushed by the Tiangang Sword Sect at the foot of their mountains seven days ago, and suffered heavy losses. However, the little girl didn’t see it with her own eyes, so she can’t help but be skeptical. Since the city lord Lei used to be a disciple of the Xuanlei Sect, he may have a better understanding of this matter, and I hope that the city lord Lei can explain this matter in detail.”

Gu Sheng’s plan was to first estimate the strength of the Tiangang Sword Sect and whether the rumored Wuling City’s outrageous weapons had been equipped on a large scale by the Tiangang Sword Sect.

Therefore, she needs to know more accurate information so that she can make a more accurate judgment.

After pondering for a while, Lei Guang sighed, and said, “To be honest, this matter is indeed true. No one expected that the Tiangang Sword Sect would do such a thing. It is really hard to guard against. Now we are all in danger, even I’m afraid that one day the Tiangang Sword Sect will attack us.”

Lei Guang is also a person with a quick mind, so he naturally heard Gu Sheng’s intentions.

Therefore, in his answer, even if he replied, he didn’t say anything substantial.

After hearing this, Gu Sheng couldn’t help but frown.

After thinking for a while, she simply stopped going around in circles and asked, “I wonder if the disciples of the Tiangang Sword Sect used the evil weapons obtained from Wuling City?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“This…” Lei Guang looked embarrassed, “Miss Gu, I really don’t know how to answer your question. The people who participated in the battle that day were all disciples of the Chongyang Sword Sect and the Xuanlei Sect. Only they know about the situation. I am thousands of miles away, and although I have sent people to investigate after the incident, they have not found any results. So I truly don’t know anything about what is going on.”

Having said that, Lei Guang returned an apologetic look to Gu Sheng.

But in Gu Sheng’s heart, she didn’t really believe Lei Guang’s words. This old fox obviously didn’t want to talk about it. As for why he didn’t want to say it, she guessed a little bit in her heart.

If it was as she had guessed, maybe she could find out the real situation through other means.

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng didn’t ask any more questions but just nodded to show her thanks to Lei Guang.

At this time, Yang Youqing suddenly said with dissatisfaction, “They call him brother, but when brother Chu Qing needs big brother, he is completely useless. Our Chongyang Sword Sect is also a super-first-class sect of Beizhou, but is that event really true? Is my big brother really that afraid of the Tiangang Sword Sect?”

Both the Tiangang Sword Sect and the Chongyang Sword Sect have the words “Sword Sect” in their names, and they have always refused to accept each other.

In Yang Youqing’s mind, even if the Tiangang Sword Sect is stronger than her own sect, the difference can’t be that different.

If the Chongyang Sword Sect were to fight against the Tiangang Sword Sect at the foot of Chongyang Mountain, it would be unreasonable for them to lose to the Tiangang Sword Sect given the favorable location.

However, the Chongyang Sword Sect actually suffered a defeat.

So Yang Youqing felt that her brother was so incompetent that he was bullied at their door.

The reason why she didn’t say that the sect master is incompetent is because the sect master, Yang Shaoling, is her biological father. As a daughter, even if Yang Youqing is arrogant, she still could not blame and speak badly of her father.

Lei Guang said with a wry smile, “Miss Yang doesn’t know that although the Chongyang Sword Sect lost in this battle, it was not caused by a lack of strength. The reason is that the Tiangang Sword Sect is too shameless.

Your brother is a scholarly gentleman, naturally, it is difficult to see through such conspiracies and tricks. It is not surprising that the battle was lost.”

Yang Youqing sighed, and lamented, “Then what should we do now? Neither our sect nor the Xuanlei sect can make a move, so are we supposed to fight against the Tiangang Sword Sect by ourselves?”

Lei Guang said, “At this point, there is no way we can retreat. The only thing we can do is fight. Fortunately, we have brother Chu Qing. I believe that under the leadership of brother Chu Qing, we will definitely win the victory!”

Lei Guang’s gesture and praise made both Chu Qing and Yang Youqing smile. However, Gu Sheng deeply looked at Lei Guang, frowning.

After eating, Lei Guang arranged for Chu Qing and the others to go to their room to rest. But not long after, Gu Sheng asked Lei Guang for a private meeting.

Lei Guang agreed without much hesitation.
