Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air
Chapter 357 Race against time
Charles's body has been found and his identity has been confirmed.
Wu Qinan only needs to produce the letters that Charles "sent back" in recent years to clear his name of suspicion.
In this way, the Wu family can be extricated from the matter.
However, the identity of the mole remains unknown, and there are still hundreds of miners in the mine who urgently need to be rescued.
"I believe that as long as you can find the traitor, Xue Qinghe will give the Wu family a break."
"As for everything you saw today, just forget about it. The Wu family might have a chance to survive. But if you go around spreading rumors, the Wu family might not have any reason to exist."
Wu Qinan was not a fool; he possessed considerable political skill.
Wu Qi's association with the Spirit Hall suggests either that he joined the Spirit Hall after the Soul Master Competition, or that he was originally a member of the Spirit Hall.
By targeting the Xinshan Sect, the Häagen-Dazs royal family and the regent Xue Qinghe will undoubtedly benefit.
Regardless of which of these two parties colludes with the Spirit Hall, the future situation on the continent will inevitably undergo drastic changes.
Wu Qinan knew that even if the Wu family survived this calamity, they would never be able to remain in the imperial court. So what did the changing situation on the continent have to do with him?
Wu Qinan cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you for the pointers, I'll go back and find the mole right away!"
Wu Qi added, "Take Charles's body with you; it's crucial evidence. Then, find the mole as soon as possible. Because we're going to take action against the Xinshan Sect next."
“With our master facing calamity, the traitors will certainly be restless. This is your only chance. If you fail to seize it, no one can guarantee that the Wu family will not be implicated.”
Wu Qinan thanked him, activated his Martial Soul, and flew towards Tiandou City.
Wu Qilai said that the next step was to race against time and arrange manpower to rescue the miners.
He paused for a moment, then asked, "He Niannian, do you know the deployment of the Xinshan Sect disciples on the mine?"
He Niannian did not live in the mine for a long time, and only knew a part of the deployment of sentry posts in the mine.
However, according to her, more miners should return to the mine in the next couple of days.
They only need to lie in wait nearby and take away a senior miner to get a general idea of what's going on.
To avoid alerting the enemy, they couldn't conduct a large-scale search; everything depended on luck.
……
During the search, Wu Qi also arranged follow-up work.
"Chang Kong, after you've figured out the situation, find a way to get into the mine as a relative."
"Of course, I'm not actually sending you to mine, but rather to infiltrate the mines and wait for the right opportunity to strike."
The vast sky seemed somewhat unwilling.
After all, those lunatics from the New Mountain Sect could blow up the mine at any time.
Going in there is just asking to be buried, isn't it?
He pointed at Wu Qi and Chen Ping and said, "Why don't you two sneak in too?"
Putting aside the possibility that bringing so many people in at once might arouse suspicion from the Xinshan Sect, there's no reason for these two to be allowed inside based solely on their appearance.
Wu Qi, needless to say, has a handsome and refined appearance due to his martial spirit, and he doesn't look like the type of person who is suited for physical labor.
If he weren't a Soul Master, many people would think he was a gigolo.
Anyone with a brain would know there's something wrong with sending someone like that to work in a mine, right?
Chen Ping looks honest and kind. Why would someone like that choose to work in a mine?
"Qian Gu Chang Kong" is the kind of person with an outlandish appearance who looks like a thug at first glance.
If someone like that were sent to a mine to temper his character, no one would doubt the sincerity of the offer.
He Niannian chuckled, "Indeed, if Brother Qiangu were out in the world, people would think he was a hooligan."
"If you add a tattoo and dye your hair, it will look even more like it." Qian Gu Chang Kong looked embarrassed, pouted, and couldn't find a way to refute it.
Wu Qi patted his shoulder lightly and laughed heartily, "I think He Niannian is right. I'll arrange for someone to do your thug makeup later to make you look more realistic."
This is just a preliminary plan; if no passing miners are found, the arrangements will have to be changed.
……
A day later, the four of them were listless.
They waited outside the city for a long time, but never saw any passing miners.
Just as Wu Qi was about to make arrangements for his backup plan, He Niannian exclaimed, "That's Uncle Chen! Brother Wu, hurry up and follow us!"
Looking around, there was a man carrying a bundle not far away.
The man was not young; his back was hunched, and his beard was already gray, sparsely arranged on his cheeks.
His thin linen clothes made him shiver in the cold wind.
Upon seeing He Niannian leading three people towards him, Chen San subconsciously took a step back.
There's no other reason than that Qian Gu Chang Kong, one of the three, looks no different from a street thug.
As an honest person, it's perfectly normal to be afraid of these thugs.
Seeing that the other person was shivering from the cold, Wu Qi took out a long robe from his soul tool and draped it over the other person's shoulders.
He Niannian hurriedly said, "Uncle Chen, Brother Wu and the others are not bad people. We have something important to discuss with you."
Chen San was flattered and overwhelmed.
The cloak draped over him was made of smooth, silky fabric. His dry, cracked fingers left a smear of black ash with just a slight touch.
Nervous, he instinctively wanted to kneel down and admit his mistake, but Wu Qi pulled him back.
“Sir, it’s alright. Please come with me to the city to rest. The lives of hundreds of miners on the mine are at stake. I hope you will tell me everything you know.”
Qian Gu Chang Kong muttered to himself, "This is a robe of offering, Angkor, you are really generous."
With their talents, Wu Qi and Qian Gu Chang Kong are destined to break through to the Super Douluo level in the future.
Therefore, the temple issued these robes to them in advance.
Of course, they wouldn't normally wear them in public; they would only wear them for large-scale events of the Spirit Hall.
Wu Qi didn't have any other cotton-padded clothes, so it wasn't a big deal for Chen San to wear one.
"Young man, what is the offering robe?" Chen San asked tremblingly.
Qian Gu Chang Kong casually remarked, "In the Spirit Hall, only the most outstanding Title Douluos are qualified to wear it. This robe is just one part of it; there are also some linings and such."
Chen San might not know about Super Douluo, but he knew about Title Douluo.
Only the best among the titled Douluo can wear it, but now it is on his body. What an honor!
Of course, he felt more worried and confused.
……
Upon entering the room, the warmth emanating from the fireplace instantly dispelled the chill.
Chen San hurriedly hung the robe on the coat rack in the entryway and carefully used a clean white cloth from his pocket to wipe away the dirt on the robe.
At Wu Qi's arrangement, he sat by the fireplace.
He Niannian asked, "Uncle Chen, you and my father were among the first batch of laborers to enter the mine. You should know about the supervisory arrangements, right?"
Chen San dared not speak, his body hunched over, yet he looked up at the crowd. (End of Chapter)
