Volume 1: Wrath of the West Chapter 21 Chen Yulou
Seeing that no one else joined, it was time for roll call again, so Master Chen took out the roll call book.
"Wang Gui."
"arrive."
"Liu Tiezhu."
"arrive."
"Xie Changfeng."
There was silence for a long while.
"Xie Changfeng?"
After three calls without any response, Master Chen frowned and some discussions began to arise in the crowd.
Bai Jiang gave a look, and Wang Fang understood and spoke loudly.
"Teacher, Xie Changfeng is missing. We couldn't find him all morning."
Master Chen's face changed.
"Come out and explain the matter in detail."
After responding, Wang Fang hurriedly stepped out of the crowd.
"Everyone knows that Li Lin, Xie Changfeng and I are very close. We spend most of our time together except when we sleep. But this morning, when we went to wake him up, we found that his door was open but he was not in the room."
" ...We thought he had gone to the martial arts training grounds ahead of time, but we searched the entire yard, including the toilet, and still couldn't find any trace of him."
"Are you telling the truth?" Master Chen said seriously.
"Every word is true. Li Lin can testify for me."
Li Lin nodded quickly.
"Everyone stay here. No one can leave without me."
After saying that, he flew away.
The crowd lost control and the noise suddenly became louder.
Everyone knew that things had gotten out of hand.
Xu Rui also felt that more and more people were looking at him, intentionally or unintentionally.
Not long after, several figures came hurriedly.
Except Master Chen and Miss Hong.
There was also a young man with a fair complexion, wearing a green silk gown, white socks and black shoes, and round-framed gold-rimmed glasses.
Behind him was a giant who was over two meters tall and had a strong physique.
Even from a distance of seven or eight feet, Xu Rui could clearly sense the powerful strength contained in that huge body.
"I guess he is Kunlun Moler. He is indeed powerful." Xu Rui was secretly shocked.
But what concerned him more was Chen Yulou.
He looked ordinary , and his aura wasn't as overbearing as Kunlun's, but Xu Rui felt an inexplicable aura from him, which was extremely powerful.
Chen Yulou had a smile on his face and his eyes slowly swept over everyone.
"I just heard from Master Chen that a man named 'Xie Changfeng' has gone missing here. Who among you last saw him?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long while, Li Lin said fearfully, "Wang Fang and I left Xie Changfeng's room at 15:30 last night. As for whether we were the last people to see him, we don't know."
Wang Fang quickly nodded in agreement.
"It's three quarters past midnight. Why are you running into each other's room instead of resting in your own room?"
Looking at the deep eyes staring at him, as if they were those of a poisonous dragon or python, Li Lin felt a chill in his heart and began to tremble unconsciously.
"Yesterday...Yesterday, Xie Changfeng wanted to compete with Xu Rui but failed, and was scolded by Master Chen. He was unhappy and came to talk to us, so he stayed in his room."
Chen Yulou glanced at Master Chen, who nodded and raised his voice.
"Who is Xu Rui?"
"I am."
Facing everyone's gazes, he strode out.
Look him up and down for a moment.
"He's a strong man."
A height of 1.83 meters was indeed considered majestic in the Republic of China era.
"Thank you for the compliment, young master."
Xu Rui was neither humble nor arrogant, and his tone was calm.
"you know me?"
"I heard Shi Hushi, the leader of the Shidu helm, mention it when I was in Xiangyin."
After nodding slightly.
"Why does Xie Changfeng want to compete with you in martial arts?"
" I don't know either."
"you do not know?"
"I don't know him, and I haven't had any conflict with him since I came here. But yesterday in the cafeteria, this person suddenly came up to me and said he wanted to fight me. I was very surprised by this."
After looking at him deeply, Chen Yulou changed the subject.
"As far as I know, during the selection at the Xiangyin mass grave three months ago, you killed a man and escaped from the Li Family Tomb. Then you were chased by an old ghost holding a pipe in one hand. How did you survive?"
My heart moved, and I thought to myself, "It's finally here."
When the old ghost was chasing him, although Tu Feng and others who were immersed in the illusion might not have seen it, those ghosts who were not deceived by the illusion and used the illusion to test them must have seen it.
And with so many ghosts missing, it would be impossible to hide it.
But he didn't expect that Chen Yulou and the others would only come to him to ask questions now.
"That old ghost was very powerful and caught me very quickly. In a hurry, I bit my tongue and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then I got free. I ran out desperately, and then I felt a pain in my left leg, and a coldness flew into my body, and then I lost consciousness."
"…When I opened my eyes again, the fog covering the entire mass grave had disappeared. I didn't dare to stay any longer and walked out with my injured leg. Later, after I recovered from my injury, I was sent here."
Xu Rui spoke sincerely, and when he mentioned the old ghost, fear appeared on his face and his tone fluctuated.
Of course, it was all deliberate.
He didn't know if he could hide it from the other party.
Chen Yulou walked down from the stage and came to his side, raised his head slightly, and looked straight into his eyes.
"Are you telling the truth?"
The ethereal voice and deep eyes seemed to have turned into two bottomless pools, which made people unable to help but immerse themselves in them, and their originally clear minds became dull and drowsy.
Suddenly, the vast white ball of light as big as the sun in the depths of his sea of consciousness flashed, and Xu Rui's heart was shocked, and he woke up instantly.
Looking at Chen Yulou who was so close, he nodded quickly.
"The truth."
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, he smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and turned back to the ring.
Looking at his back and thinking about his previous strange behavior, Xu Rui felt a chill in his heart.
If it weren't for the golden finger's help at the critical moment, I would have been exposed.
"What kind of magic is this that can actually captivate the mind?"
"Does anyone else know any clues about Xie Changfeng ?"
Chen Yulou's voice was clearly heard by everyone.
Everyone looked at each other, and they all remained silent for fear of getting into trouble.
Bai Jiang didn't mind taking advantage of someone's misfortune, but the incident happened suddenly and he couldn't think of any good idea that would both frame Xu Rui and clear himself.
Seeing no one responded, Chen Yulou turned around.
"Master Chen, do you know where Xie Changfeng lives?"
"Know."
"Take me there, please."
After nodding, he said, "Please give me your head."
"Kunlun, you stay and watch them."
The giant nodded and stayed in the ring.
The three of them walked down the ring and headed for the room on the left, and soon found Xie Changfeng's residence. The strong smell of sweat inside made Miss Hong frown and not go in.
Chen Yulou walked around inside and then came out.
