Chapter Twenty-Seven: Two Possibilities

tell my elder brother about the situation.""Brother Wang, have you heard about the rumors of a strange building appearing recently"Wang Yuanzhong said calmly, "Of course I've heard!""Then, if I were...In a matter of moments, Jiang Yun had descended from the hidden peak, but he stopped in his tracks. He saw a boy about half his size, dressed in gray, walking back and forth at the foot of the mountain, as if waiting for someone.

Ginger frowned slightly, recognizing the person.

This person is also a menial disciple of Baishou Peak, named Liu Xin. He is fifteen years old and joined Wendaozong three years ago. Although he is a bit cowardly in character, his heart is not bad. And because his residence is next to Lu Xiaoyu's, he has a pretty good relationship with Lu Xiaoyu. They have met several times and talked.

Just then, Liu Xin looked up and saw Jiang Yun. His face immediately lit up with joy, and he hurriedly greeted him, bowing and saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother Jiang."

Ginger Cloud returned the salute and said, "Junior Brother Liu, no need to be so polite. How did you come here Are you looking for me"

"Yes!" Liu Xin's expression of joy had vanished, replaced by anxiety. "Brother Jiang, something terrible has happened!"

This sentence caused a jolt in Ginger Cloud's heart, and a bad premonition arose.

Although Ginger Cloud and Liu Xin had spoken a few times, they were only acquaintances. Their relationship wasn't close enough for them to seek each other out when facing problems. Therefore, the only possibility was that it wasn't Liu Xin who was in trouble, but Lu Xiaoyu!

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yun spoke in a deep voice, "Is something wrong with Xiaoyuyu"

"Yes!" Liu Xin nodded. "This morning, Lu Shimei suddenly received a mission that requires her to leave the sect for a while."

"A mission" Jiang Yun frowned. "Only outer sect disciples are eligible to take missions. We're just handymen disciples, what mission would be assigned to us Where's Xiaoyu"

She's gone!

"What!" Ginger Cloud's face changed instantly. "How long has she been gone, where did she go What exactly is her mission"

"I don't know!" Liu Xin shook his head repeatedly. "She came to me and said that as long as she completed this mission and returned, she could immediately be promoted to an outer sect disciple. She also specifically told me that if you looked for her, I should keep it a secret from you, saying that it was going to be a surprise for you!"

"Hush!" Jiang Yun's voice suddenly turned severe. "Today is the day for the retest. According to the sect rules, if you are absent during the retest, you will be expelled directly from the sect. Let alone that she is not qualified to take missions, even if there were missions, she should at least avoid today."

"Yeah!" Seeing Jiang Yun angry, Liu Xin was also a little afraid, but he still mustered his courage and said: "I didn't think much of it at first, but after she left, the more I thought about it, the more something felt wrong, so I hurried over to find Senior Brother Jiang to see if you had any way to find her."

Ginger Cloud shook her head, not even knowing where Lu Xiaoyu had gone. What could she possibly do to find her

After a moment's thought, Jiang Yun asked again, "Who gave her the mission"

"I don't know, if she hadn't come to say goodbye to me, I wouldn't have known she had taken on the mission."

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yun forced himself to calm down. His mind quickly analyzed the situation, coming up with two possibilities. The first was that Lu Xiaoyu had indeed received the mission. That would be the best possible outcome.

The second possibility is that Lu Xiaoyu was simply deceived.

The person who deceived her was the one who framed her in the first place. As for their purpose, it's very simple: to drive Lu Xiaoyu out of the sect!

Even, once Lu Xiao Yu left the sect, she would no longer be under the sect's protection. If anyone wanted to harm her again, even killing her, no one would care anymore.

Ginger Cloud surmised that the second possibility was highly probable, because she had never heard of a re-examination day causing new disciples to be sent out on missions!

As soon as he had a thought, Jiang Yun's mind suddenly recalled a person. He immediately made a decision.

Then, Jiang Yun nodded towards Liu Xin and said: "Liu Junior Brother, thank you for coming to inform me. You don't need to worry about this matter, I will find a way."

Liu Xin worriedly said, "Senior Brother Jiang, why don't we report this to the sect They should be able to find Junior Sister Lu."

Jiang Yun shook his head. Not to mention the present, he couldn't even be sure which possibility was true. Even if Lu Xiaoyu was really framed, without any evidence, there was no point in reporting to anyone.

Needless to say, they were all just low-ranking disciples, their status humble and their voices insignificant. Even if they had evidence, the sect probably wouldn't pay any attention.

"Don't tell anyone about this, okay I promise, she's my sister, and I'm going to find her!"

Although Jiang Yun and Lu Xiaoyu only spent half a year together, the moment Lu Xiaoyu first called him "Yun Gege", Jiang Yun had already treated her as his younger sister.

Now that Lu Xiaoyu has left the sect on this day of retesting, no matter what the truth is, Jiang Yun can't possibly ignore it!

After sending Liu Xin away, Jiang Yun's gaze suddenly turned towards Baishou Peak, two fierce lights gradually brightening in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "If it's really the second possibility, if Xiaoyu is fine, that's all right. But once Xiaoyu truly has something happen, no matter who you are, I will make you pay the price!"

As soon as his words left his mouth, Jiang Yun's expressionless face moved towards the re-examination site.

The testing grounds were still located within the Question Dao Sect's mountain gate, on the same plaza. Along the way, countless figures could be seen. These people included newly inducted disciples, old disciples, and even quite a few outer sect disciples. From this, it was not difficult to see how much the Question Dao Sect valued this trial.

Ginger Cloud ignored everyone and simply pushed his speed to the limit. Although he hadn't specifically cultivated any speed-related techniques, he was naturally gifted with speed. Coupled with the abundant spiritual energy coursing through his body now, his movement was at least twice as fast as it was half a year ago.

Less than half an hour, and we had already arrived at the square.

At this moment, hundreds of people had gathered in the square. Among them, Jiang Yun also saw several familiar faces, such as Tang Yi, Huo Yuan, and the man in black whose figure was always as straight as a towering pine tree, as well as the young woman with a double channel body.

They were at best outer sect disciples. After entering the Wudao Sect, they were each taken away by people from the five peaks to cultivate wholeheartedly. Therefore, for half a year, Jiang Yun had never seen them.

Although it's not hard to see, these past six months have undoubtedly brought them substantial gains. The aura emanating from each person is noticeably stronger than before.

Though the crowd's personalities remained unchanged, especially Huo Yuan who continued to laugh and joke, occasionally teasing his fellow disciples with a condescending tone. He even spared none, not even Tang Yi, the burly man.

Compared to him, Tang Yi was much more honest. There was no way he could confront Huo Yuan like he used to; the difference in status between the inner and outer gates prevented it.

As for the people on the square, Jiang Yun only glanced at them before turning his gaze to the crowd watching from around the square. He kept moving back and forth, scrutinizing everyone until he spotted a short, stout man in gray.

"It's you!"

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes, his figure flickering as he squeezed into the crowd. He quickly arrived beside the short and stout man.

A short and stout man was squinting lecherously at several graceful female disciples on the square. Suddenly, he felt a slight tightening around his neck. He turned his head to look, and saw a handsome young man holding his nape with one hand.

"It's you!" the short and stout man exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Yun stared at the other person with a blank expression, his voice low: "Good, you still remember me, then you should know why I'm looking for you!"k together. You should be able to see my sincerity from this alone."Jiang Yun stared deeply at Huan Xu and said, "I'm sorry, I have no interest in you, nor will I cooperate with you. And judging by yo...
