Chapter 426 Fanning the flames
After catching the Mingjian Zhishi card, Huiyuan was clearly stunned.

He had seen the token clearly when it was in the air just now; now that he had the jade token in his hand, he was 100% sure that it was indeed the Mingjian Shizhi token.

More importantly, this sign is extra large and thick...

Then, the identity of the old man opposite who wielded the terrifying sword with his bare hands...is obvious.

Hui Yuan's expression instantly became extremely complicated, but he quickly suppressed it. He bowed slightly to Li Jingzhe, stretched out his hands forward, and the Mingjian Shizhi card flew back lightly.

At the same time, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Donor, is it Master Li Jingzhe?"

Li Jingzhe's face was as gloomy as water. He reached out to take the jade token and said, "Master, are you from Jinchan Temple?"

His words were equivalent to the answer to the previous question.

But Huiyuan did not answer.

His gaze swept across the four injured secret envoys and Li Jingzhe, and finally fell on "Wen Qingru" not far away.

"It's him……"

Fu Qingzhou pointed at Li Jingzhe and said, "That's him! He's the one who broke the illusion array a few days ago!"

Everyone present was shocked, and Huiyuan's gaze towards Li Jingzhe also changed slightly.

Li Jingzhe raised his eyebrows and looked over: "Who are you?"

"I……"

Fu Qingzhou wanted to say something but stopped himself. In the end, he just looked at Huiyuan with "resentment" and closed his mouth.

it is more than words.

Li Jingzhe seemed to understand something, and sneered at Hui Yuan: "Master, you are in a good mood... You have the cultivation level of Cave Heaven Realm, you are from Jinchan Temple, and your Buddhist words are so powerful. You are the elder who teaches the Dharma, Hui Yuan, right?"

"..."

Hui Yuan's expression changed several times in a very short period of time, and he finally said in a deep voice: "Master Li, I don't know why you broke into this place, but... there is nothing here that Ming Jian Pavilion wants. Can you please give Jin Chan Temple a favor and pretend that nothing happened?"

"Nothing happened?"

Li Jingzhe sneered and looked at the four injured secret agents who retreated behind him: "My men were injured and vomited blood, and you tell me that nothing happened?"

The muscles on Huiyuan's cheeks tightened slightly, as if he was gritting his teeth.

"but……"

At this moment, Li Jingzhe suddenly changed the subject: "Master Jinchan Temple is here, so it's not impossible for me to make special arrangements."

Huiyuan's eyes lit up slightly.

On Fu Qingzhou's side, Qiu Chan's hand tightened slightly, and the smoker also laughed in his mind: "Fu boy, things seem to be different from what you imagined."

"No rush...let's wait and see." Fu Qingzhou was still quite calm.

Apart from anything else, in some aspects, he still trusts Li Jingzhe more.

Although this guy has a high level of realm and a high position of power, he is actually arrogant and narrow-minded. Except when he is with Ning Wushu and acts like a doting elder, he does not seem to be a decent person at other times.

How could a man like this, who had lost face and was inexplicably framed by a woman and had doubts in his heart, just bow his head?
Sure enough, after Li Jingzhe finished saying "special matters should be handled specially", he said calmly: "Master, you can go first, but this woman insisted that I broke into the courtyard the other day, and there are many suspicious points here. She must go with me - if there is another case involving you, I will go to Jinchan Temple to ask for advice."

Huiyuan's pupils shrank slightly.

Fu Qingzhou acted out a state of fear at the right time, and "subconsciously" took several steps back, retreating to the edge of the wall with Qiu Chan.

"certainly……"

Li Jingzhe smiled coldly: "I know that you have pity for me and don't want to see this woman enter the prison of Mingjian Pavilion. Then please tell me why you are here and who is this woman?"

"Ugh……"

Hui Yuan sighed deeply: "Master Li, what do you want in exchange for letting this poor monk go, letting her go?"

Li Jingzhe did not answer immediately, but his eyes kept moving between the monk and Fu Qingzhou.

"What should we do now?"

At this moment, Qiu Chan's voice suddenly sounded in Fu Qingzhou's mind, scaring him.

"What's going on?" He quickly calmed down: "When did you learn this trick?" "The old ghost let it in for me."

Qiu Chan said softly, "He said you must have some tricks up your sleeve. We need to discuss it."

Fu Qingzhou: "Wow, old man, you have been a little more proactive recently?"

"I know you're a soft-hearted person." The smoker said leisurely, "You know what I want anyway. I've helped you so much this time. You'd be embarrassed to refuse, right?"

"Okay, let's discuss this later."

Fu Qingzhou instructed in his mind: "You don't have to do anything, just leave the rest to me."

"Oh?" Qiu Chan was surprised: "Do you have a way to persuade Li Jingzhe to leave?"

"Why did you persuade Li Jingzhe to leave?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled and replied, "Isn't our purpose to help Concubine Zi find out the details of Huiyuan and Concubine Jing's cooperation? This matter still depends on Li Jingzhe, otherwise why would I bring him here?"

Qiu Chan and Yan Gui were startled: "What did you say?"

But Fu Qingzhou had already ignored them. Taking advantage of the stalemate between Li Jingzhe and Huiyuan, he suddenly stepped forward and said, "Master Li!"

This shout broke the deadlock and everyone looked at him.

"Master Li."

Fu Qingzhou imitated Wen Qingru's demeanor and tone, and said softly: "I, you have a compromise."

"Common woman! Hahahaha!" In his mind, Qiu Chan and the Smoker were laughing together.

"A compromise?"

Li Jingzhe's expression did not change at all: "You say."

"I dare not ask about the affairs of Mingjian Pavilion, but... I know that Mingjian Pavilion must have its reasons for doing things... As for whether the person I saw the other day was Lord Li, there may be something strange going on."

Fu Qingzhou said slowly: "If Lord Li doesn't mind, you can... interrogate me here. I will definitely tell you everything I know. I'm sure that with Lord Li's methods, I won't dare to lie."

Huiyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, but Li Jingzhe smiled slightly.

"Here?" He said calmly, "It's not impossible."

"Master Li..." Hui Yuan seemed to want to say something, but Fu Qingzhou shook his head and said, "Master, it's okay. What Master Li wants to investigate may have nothing to do with you and me."

This sentence enlightened Hui Yuan. After a slight pause, he lowered his head, put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist mantra: "I understand...but please don't hurt this woman, Master Li."

"We are Mingjian Pavilion, not bandits."

Li Jingzhe said coldly: "If she is innocent, what is there to be afraid of? Humph...you guys, take her into the house."

"Yes."

The four secret envoys responded and walked towards Fu Qingzhou.

"please."

One of the female secret agents pointed to a nearby wing and asked, "What's its name?"

"I am Wen Qingru, a commoner." Fu Qingzhou said in a low voice.

"Okay." The female emissary nodded and said, "Follow us."

After following the four secret envoys into the wing room, Li Jingzhe quickly followed in and closed the door - of course, through the light and shadow from the window, he could still see Huiyuan standing in the yard, looking towards this place from afar.

"Go ahead." Li Jingzhe said calmly, "What do you have that you want to tell me?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled and lowered his voice: "Master Li, can you guarantee that Master Huiyuan will not hear a word we say next?"

Li Jingzhe's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "Interesting... Don't worry, there is no need to continue. When you enter this room, the outside world can no longer hear or see you."

"so……"

Fu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, came to the table and sat down, crossing his legs carelessly: "I am so tired, Lord Li, I am not Wen Qingru, I am Fu Qingzhou."

Li Jingzhe: “?”
