Chapter 259 Outrageous Rumors
After finally completing the process and entering the cubicle with tea, his originally polite and smiling face instantly turned aggrieved.
"Master, tell me the truth. Did you do this on purpose by asking me to serve tea and water here?!"
The meaning of that person's words was true and false. Zhou Ling could only confirm with his master before drawing a conclusion.
"Yes."
Faced with his disciple who was so angry that he jumped up and down, Long Aotian calmly picked up the new tea, took a sip, frowned in disgust, put the teacup on the table and pushed it away.
Although I had guessed the answer long ago, the shock was still different when I heard it from my master's mouth.
"Don't be quick to lose your temper. Children should be patient. Tell me what they want you to say first, and I will explain to you later why you must do this job of serving tea and water."
It is true that Long Aotian was not good at coaxing children at the beginning, but after spending a long time with his disciples, he was able to appease irritable children with ease.
"I didn't tell you to pass on a message. You just gave me something. I haven't opened it yet. Please read it yourself, Master."
Zhou Ling handed a small jade slip to his master.
"Oh my god, how many layers of encryption are there?"
As soon as he got it, he found out it was encrypted. Long Aotian didn't take it seriously and cracked it casually. But after cracking it, hey, it was still encrypted!
OK, I understand, double protection.
However, the encryption method used is completely different from the previous one, and the style is varied, and it does not seem to be the work of one person.
Long Aotian found it interesting, but didn’t find it difficult, so he solved it easily anyway.
But when he saw that after the two layers of encryption were cracked, what was revealed was not the main content of the queen, but another layer of encryption, the decent smile on his face gradually froze on the spot.
One of them couldn't help but complain.
"Where are you going?"
Sheng Yuan, who was sitting opposite him, didn't react. When he heard him say he was going but didn't say where to go, he also asked subconsciously.
"I want to go to the cubicle across the street and give them both a beating."
Long Aotian answered with gritted teeth.
This broken thing in my hand is just like a Russian nesting doll. Take one layer away, and there is another layer. Take one layer away, and there is another layer...
"Ling'er, come here and practice."
His patience was gradually exhausted, and Long Aotian suddenly smiled kindly. While gritting his teeth, he suppressed the irritation in his heart. Before he smashed the jade slip, he quickly asked his disciple to take over.
"But if I peel off the last layer, I will see what's inside."
Zhou Ling waved his hands, indicating that he didn't want to take on this trouble.
"It's okay. Senior Sheng has been sitting here all the time. Why shouldn't you read the contents? With Master backing you up, feel free to read it. I don't think those old bastards can do anything to you."
He didn't say who the encryption was designed to protect against, but everyone knew it.
Although Zhou Ling was hesitant, she saw that her master had made his attitude clear. If she didn't accept it, wouldn't she be letting him down?
And in her eyes, this is just a small toy for practicing, she loves to play with it!
Take it happily.
In a few seconds, another layer of tedious encryption was cracked, but what came into view was not the next layer of encryption, but the real content engraved on the jade slip... "There is something wrong with the disciple beside you, it may be fake, keep a close eye on it and control it in time."
A short sentence flashed through his mind quickly, and then the jade slip entered self-destruct mode. The next moment, it turned into powder in Zhou Ling's hands and fell all over the ground.
"What does it say?"
Long Aotian was so angry that he laughed. If the encryption had a hundred layers, he would have already applied to the ninety-ninth layer. However, he became impatient and gave up on the last layer. As soon as he handed it to his disciple, the encryption was unlocked.
The moment a jade slip with so many layers of encryption was unlocked and people could see the contents clearly, it would enter self-destruct mode. This was also within his imagination, so it was not surprising.
What surprised him was his disciple's face, which turned blue and white, as if he had been insulted and was very angry.
"It says there's something wrong with your apprentice. He might be fake. Keep a close eye on him and take control of him in time."
She recognized every word, but when they were put together, Zhou Ling was puzzled at first, wondering what it meant? She was the only disciple around the master, so what did she mean by "different"?
But after she came to her senses, she suddenly realized that this might be a plot by the two to sow discord.
His expression changed constantly, he was indeed angry.
She was angry at the two men for treating her like a fool, and she was even angrier at them. Under such circumstances, why were they so determined to drag both her and her master down with them?
After hearing this answer, Long Aotian and Sheng Yuan were both silent, frowning in thought, no one knew what they were thinking about.
"You don't really believe it, do you? How could I be different? How could I be false?"
It was really hard to break down. Seeing how seriously her master was thinking, Zhou Ling always had a feeling that her master was going to sell her out next!
"Don't worry, sit down and calm down. There is something you may not know yet."
Long Aotian waved his hand, motioning her to sit on the nearest stool.
"This matter is only circulated among a very small number of people. Some people say that some time before the former leader of Xihai Sect was possessed by the devil, they saw him having close contact with Zhou Ling of Wandao Sect. Not long after that, the leader was possessed by the devil as well. Xihai Sect was leaderless and in chaos for a while."
"What! This is simply alarmist!"
Zhou Ling thought it was just a rumor, but she didn't expect it to be so outrageous.
"What's even more outrageous is yet to come. Some people say that you are actually the illegitimate daughter of the former head of the Xihai Sect and a demon."
"puff……"
As soon as Long Aotian finished speaking, Sheng Yuan, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.
Even though the spiritual power shield was activated in time, there were still some splashes on the clothes.
Pursing his lips, Long Aotian gave him a murderous look.
"I'm really sorry. I was choked. Such a rumor is so outrageous. How could anyone believe it? Not to mention that it is well known that the demon who invaded our world is a male. Just look at the face of the former leader of Xihaidong. How could such a rough man give birth to a child as beautiful as Zhou Ling?"
He put down the teacup, took out a handkerchief and touched the corners of his mouth elegantly. All these actions did not affect Sheng Yuan's efforts to prove and defend Zhou Ling.
Feeling the kindness extended by this senior, Zhou Ling nodded approvingly and gave him a thumbs up to show his approval.
"Although the rumors are outrageous, they are not groundless. Ling'er, have you ever thought that maybe someone is impersonating you here?"
