Chapter 32 Chapter 32
The two finally decided on the disguise, and Shen Yebai continued to lead the way.
The house doesn't look big from the outside, but the secret passage is winding. Shen Yebai explained the reason to Qin Moyu: "We didn't really enter the secret passage. In fact, it is a formation. We can only follow a fixed route." Go in and find the real Yunqi Tower."
"But this is too troublesome. If someone hadn't led the way, we wouldn't have been able to find it." Qin Moyu followed Shen Yebai around and was confused. To a certain extent, Yun Qilou was also in business and wanted to do something big. The more customers the better, why do you seem to be eager for others to come over?
"Because this is Dongzhou." Shen Yebai said, "Yunqi Tower is still afraid of the influence of several major families and sects, and does not dare to be too showy. If it were replaced by the two southwest continents, Yunqi Tower would be the same as Tengwang Pavilion. Put it out there openly."
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. It is normal to keep a low profile in Dongzhou Yunqi Tower. Qin Moyu expressed his understanding.
But what Qin Moyu didn't know was that Shen Yebai also concealed other things.
For example, although you can enter Yunqi Building here, the passage he takes Qin Moyu in now is not facing "customers" at all, but an internal passage facing "own people", so it is more complicated.
As I walked, my eyes suddenly opened up, and I saw a busy hall with disguised people coming and going.
This hall is divided into three parts. On the far left is a door with a curtain, and the door is guarded by people wearing bamboo hats. In the middle is a place similar to the front desk that occupies the largest area and has the largest number of people gathering. There are also signs on the wall. There is a reward notice; on the right is a passage that seems to lead to another room, with angry curses and cheers coming from time to time.
"On the far left is the underground auction house. There are many shady things there." Shen Yebai stood next to Qin Moyu, lowered his head slightly and introduced it in Qin Moyu's ear.
"The middle is the place where missions are received and assigned - Yunqi Tower can be so powerful because of this method. As long as there are people here to send out tasks and receive tasks, Yunqi Tower will remain standing."
"On the right is the Colosseum, but it's actually where people risk their lives. Yunqi Tower is where the casino is for people to have fun."
Qin Moyu looked at everything in front of him, and the sense of sight came back again.
The underground auction house, the release mission, the bloody casino Colosseum...these extremely familiar settings are as if someone has brought the novel to reality.
If it were before, Qin Moyu might have wanted to go to the underground auction house and the Colosseum to see what he had learned, but now he was not in that mood and only wanted to find Fen Gong.
"I'm going to find out the news." Shen Yebai whispered.
Qin Moyu nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for you in front."
There were people coming and going all around. Qin Moyu standing there alone would be too conspicuous, so he might as well squeeze to the front desk with others, pretending to watch the mission, and hide in the city.
Shen Yebai also understood this truth, said hello and left.
Qin Moyu followed the crowd to the front desk. There were all kinds of rewards on the wall, ranging from finding objects and adventures to as big as murder and revenge.
Wait...this is...
Qin Moyu suddenly saw a familiar name among the rewards—Yu Lin.
The reward amount is still very high, and the person in the corner who posted the mission is none other than Mo Yuan.
Mo Yuan actually kept thinking about him.
Qin Moyu was a little surprised. It seemed that the box was indeed very important to the villain, and he might also covet the inheritance of his predecessors.
But because Qin Moyu has not used the Red Lotus Karma Fire since he came out of Tengwang Pavilion, Yu Lin is equivalent to missing, and the reward has been hanging.
Qin Moyu suddenly thought that that night, not only Fen Gong but also Mo Yuan came. So was he related to the death of his master?
After all, to a certain extent, Fen Gong was Mo Yuan's subordinate.
But after all, this was just Qin Moyu's guess, and Mo Yuan saved himself that day. If Mo Yuan didn't know that he was Yu Lin, then he would have no position to come to him. Mo Yuan should not be as petty as Fen Gong.
Qin Moyu thought this way, but once the seeds of doubt are planted, they are not so easy to eliminate.
…
Shen Yebai went to the underground auction house on the far left, and was stopped as soon as he reached the door.
"Now is not the time for the auction house to be open." The man wearing a hat took a step forward and blocked the door.
"It's me." Shen Yebai raised his head, revealing Mo Yuan's face.
The guard was surprised when he saw him and quickly stepped aside: "I'm sorry, I don't know..."
Shen Yebai stretched out his hand to stop his apology and said in a deep voice, "Where are Yue Wen Fu and Fen Gong?"
Yue Wenfu is the man in a hat with a hoarse voice and a vicissitude of life, but his exposed hands are very young.
"Master Yue is leading the people out, Mr. Fen... I'm not sure about this, it seems he went to Xizhou."
"Xizhou? Why are you going there?" Shen Yebai frowned, waved away the guards and entered the auction house.
Because it was not the right time, there was no one in the auction house, but Shen Yebai knew that Zuo Shu was here.
Sure enough, Shen Yebai saw Zuo Shu in the box where she usually stayed.
The left girl is wearing a long aqua dress, her long hair is pulled up, her eyebrows are gentle, and she is making tea in the box.
Seeing Shen Yebai coming, she put down the tea set in her hand and saluted: "Why are you here, Master?"
"I came to ask you something."
"You should tell me everything you know." Zuo Mei smiled slightly. Although she did not have the appearance of a country, she had unparalleled elegance.
Shen Yebai didn't waste much time and asked Zuo Mei directly: "Where is Fen An?"
"Master Fen has been ordered to go to Xizhou."
"An order? Whose order?" Shen Yebai frowned.
Zuo Mei pondered for a moment: "It seems to be an order from the Fen family."
The Fen family...does that have anything to do with him?
Shen Yebai remained calm on the surface, but he was wary in his heart: "Does he know about this?"
It's self-evident who he is.
Zuo Mei smiled softly: "The Emperor knew this and asked his subordinates to send a message to the young master. The subordinates are just trying to contact the young master."
"...What's the matter with him?" Ever since Shen Yebai understood his intentions, he felt agitated whenever he thought about his identity, and became unhappy with the things he would do as a matter of course.
"The Emperor said that this matter can only be discussed clearly in person." Zuo Mei said slowly.
Shen Yebai's hands hidden under his sleeves clenched unconsciously, and his lips pursed into a thin line, obviously resisting the meeting.
But Zuo Mei was just passing the message on behalf of that person. If that person wanted to contact Shen Yebai, the decision-making power was never on Shen Yebai's side.
The box was not big, but there was a huge boulder placed there. Zuo Shu saw that Shen Yebai was in a bad mood, so she didn't say anything more, she just raised her hand and erected a water curtain against the boulder.
The water curtain flows slowly, but what is reflected is not the two people, but another figure.
Shen Yebai took a deep breath, and the scene on the water screen finally settled on a cave, and there was a person sitting cross-legged in the cave, who had eight levels of facial features similar to his own.
Zuo Mei bowed to the people in the water curtain, quietly left the box, closed the door, and gave the space to the two of them.
"...What do you want from me?" Shen Yebai was the first to break the silence.
"I should be the one asking you what happened over there." The person in the water curtain chuckled, but his eyes were indifferent.
He put his face on his hands and asked casually: "According to the plan, you should check the box in Xizhou at this time."
"I'm delayed." What Shen Yebai hates most is this man's aloof appearance, as if he is constantly reminded of his identity.
"Whether it's because of things or because of people, I think you know better than me." The man raised his eyebrows and sneered.
"You know!?" Shen Yebai's voice rose unconsciously, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
"I know, and I also know his name is Qin Moyu."
The man's expression became strange, with a hint of disbelief in his tone, "At first I thought you were just interested in his identity - he is Honglian Yehuo after all - but I didn't expect you to actually like him, which is really surprising. .
"And -" the man raised his chin slightly and smiled mockingly, "You actually hid the news about Honglian Yehuo for him. He wrote back and told me that the box was not on Yu Lin and he wanted to take it out. I didn't expect you to be so infatuated. Ah, Shen Yebai."
When he mentioned the words Shen Yebai, he was clearly smiling, but his eyes were only cold.
If someone else were standing here, that person's momentum alone would be enough to overwhelm him by three points, not to mention that person's strength during the tribulation period would make it impossible for anyone to resist. However, Shen Yebai stood here without fear and faced him. Confrontation.
"So what?" Shen Ye's white and black eyes met his, with fierce anger in them, and asked him, "What else do you know? What on earth did you do to me?!"
Unexpectedly, the man facing Shen Yebai's question burst into laughter.
"Shen Yebai, you seem to have made a mistake—"
The man suddenly stood up and walked slowly to the water curtain on his side. He felt the ups and downs of emotions coming from Shen Yebai's side and found it extremely funny.
"I didn't do anything, don't you understand yet?"
The man's slender fingers touched his forehead, and his dark eyes were exactly the same as Shen Yebai's, but compared to Shen Yebai, he still had the depth and indifference of years of immersion: "You are me."
"I separated you. Although you have another name and another body, we are the same person from beginning to end——"
The man, no, it should be said that Shen Mo put his hand on his heart and smiled softly: "I don't need to do anything at all, because you are me."
"You are Shen Mo. From beginning to end, there is no such person as Shen Yebai in the world."
——Shen Mo.
Shen Yebai's clenched fists were so hard that his nails dug deeply into his flesh, and even traces of blood oozed out, but he seemed unaware.
If a person is separated from the soul of another person from birth in order to complete a plan, has no past, no future, and does not even have his own name, then can he still be considered a person?
Shen Yebai couldn't help but laugh at himself when he thought of this, with infinite sadness in his eyes.
Shen Mo was right, Shen Yebai had never existed in this world.
