Chapter 171 The Deceived Fool
"You said you were introduced here, then why did you come all the way here?" The middle-aged man raised his lips slightly, revealing a half-smile. His deep and sharp eyes, like an eagle, stared at the three people in front of him, as if he wanted to see through their inner thoughts through their appearance.
Jiang Jiao lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "My brothers and I have no other choice. Our parents passed away in a terrible disaster, leaving the three of us to depend on each other. I still remember the flames in the sky and the desperate eyes of my parents..." Her voice choked and her body trembled slightly.
Leng Fengquan's eyes were dim, his face full of pain. He said slowly: "Little sister, we all know what a terrible memory that was. We wandered around, without a fixed place to live, and often had to spend the night in a dilapidated temple, exposed to the wind and rain."
Long Jingxing clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he said, "Those people always laugh at us for being orphans and treat us like beggars. I swore that I would make sure we could live a good life and never suffer such humiliation again!"
At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, as if reflecting their tragic life experience. Jiang Jiao raised her head, looked at her two brothers, and said firmly: "Brothers, it's all me who has dragged you down. No matter how difficult it is, we have to go on together. I believe that one day we will get rid of all this!"
"Yes, we certainly will! Since Uncle Chen said there is a way to cure you here, we will give it a try even if we have to go through fire and water." The two said in unison, their eyes filled with hope and determination for the future.
The middle-aged man looked at the young people hugging each other tightly and with deep affection in front of him, and he couldn't help but be deeply moved, and his eyes gradually became moist.
He said softly: "My dear children, I am very pleased to see your deep feelings and firm beliefs. Please believe me, after joining our big family, you will bid farewell to pain forever and usher in a future full of hope and beauty."
His voice revealed a sincere and warm power, as if it could dispel all the haze and worries. The two young men looked up, their eyes sparkling with expectations for the future.
The middle-aged man continued, "There is no bullying or oppression here, only mutual support and common growth; there is no endless suffering here, only happiness and satisfaction brought by hard work. Let us move forward hand in hand and create a better world together!"
After they exchanged pleasantries for a while, the middle-aged man said he would take them to meet their leader.
Under the cover of the dark night, Jiang Jiao, Leng Fengquan, and Long Jingxing followed the middle-aged man into a manor. In the gloomy woods, the branches and leaves swayed, making rustling sounds, as if countless invisible hands were pulling them.
They moved forward cautiously, passing through a dense bush, and came to the cult's lair. It was a mysterious manor with vines climbing up the mottled walls, exuding a decayed smell.
There was a layer of light mist around, making everything look hazy and weird. Jiang Jiao's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and she swallowed nervously, her heart filled with fear of the unknown. But she knew that she could not retreat.
Leng Fengquan gently held Jiang Jiao's hand, gave her a comforting look, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Jiang Jiao felt his warmth, and her heart calmed down a little. She gave him a grateful smile in return.
On the other side, Long Jingxing was walking in front, looking back from time to time to pay attention to their situation and ensure their safety.
When they arrived here, the middle-aged man asked them to change into clothes that matched the cult, and said, "Come with me to see the guardian later. You wait here. I will go and inform you."
There were guards watching around, so they decided to take the initiative and get some information.
Jiang Jiao pretended to be weak, her eyes revealing her piety and awe for this place, skillfully catering to their preferences.
Leng Fengquan also showed his enthusiasm for this place, talking to the guards and making them believe it. Long Jingxing also used his superb acting skills to avoid any flaws in his contacts with the guards and dealt with them skillfully.
Finally, they captured some key information, and found out that there was actually a mysterious forbidden area here.
After waiting for a long time, the middle-aged man appeared again and led them in.
After that, he said a few polite words and arranged them in a room, asked them to have a good rest, and reminded them to attend the morning meeting tomorrow.
After saying goodbye, the three decided to go out and investigate. With their cultivation, this was an easy task.
They walked through the gloomy corridors, taking every step carefully, fearing that they would trigger some mechanism. Jiang Jiao observed the surrounding environment keenly and found that a pattern on the wall was a little strange, so she sent a message to the two of them.
Leng Fengquan leaned in to take a closer look, gently touching the pattern with his fingers, trying to find the secret. Long Jingxing looked around vigilantly in case someone suddenly appeared.
At a corner, they found a closed door with strange symbols engraved on it. The three looked at each other and knew that there might be important secrets hidden behind this door.
Leng Fengquan took out a delicate magic weapon from his arms and began to carefully crack the magic circle on the door. Long Jingxing and Jiang Jiao held their weapons tightly, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.
Finally, the door slowly opened, and a pungent smell hit them. They walked into the room carefully, and saw all kinds of mysterious objects and strange instruments inside. The heroine and the two heroes carefully searched every corner, not missing any clues.
After a careful inspection, they left quietly like ghosts, without making any sound, and then hurried back to their rooms without stopping. The whole process was silent, as if nothing had happened.
