Chapter 115 Showing Uncle Zhong
Let her think about how to make this believable.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, actually I am..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhong Hanshang interrupted him.
"If it's still the same story as your parents, please have Fellow Daoist Gao carefully consider the details before speaking."
Although I've never left the sect for training, I'm not stupid.
Oh ho~ We've been found out!
After meeting with Gao Huohuo last time, Zhong Hanshang went back and carefully examined the situation, discovering several inconsistencies.
How did she manage to wield these two semi-divine artifacts when she was so young?
And the fact that she wanted to give him the divine artifacts was clearly a test; she had already made a contract with those two semi-divine artifacts.
The unusual activity he noticed earlier was probably because Gao Huohuo had used an invisibility talisman.
Upon hearing Zhong Hanshang's words, Gao Huohuo knew that the lie she had told last time had been discovered.
I thought he was an upright person, and I could easily move him with some pitiful stories, but I didn't expect him to actually use his brain when he went out.
“Fellow Daoist Zhong, I was wrong before. It was the first time I met you, and I didn’t know you well, so I wanted to test you.”
After spending time with you, I realized that you are indeed just like the legends say, a true beacon of righteousness.
But when I wanted to find you to explain, I couldn't find you at all.
"First time meeting him?" That's probably another lie.
Seeing that his expression did not change, Gao Huohuo quickly took out a supernatural power from his storage ring and handed it to him.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, with this item, communication will be much easier in the future."
This was made by my fourth senior brother, and I'm giving it to you for free as an apology.
This thing is called "Supernatural Power," and it's much more useful than a sound transmission talisman. I've already added my contact information to it.
After saying that, Gao Huohuo took out his supernatural power and demonstrated it to him.
Zhong Hanshang took a look and saw that it was indeed a good thing.
However, after Gao Huohuo finished demonstrating, Zhong Hanshang put the things away and continued to ask:
"Fellow Daoist Gao, now that you've finished explaining your supernatural abilities, shouldn't you continue to explain what happened to you today?"
This person is really not easy to fool. If it were someone like Ma Jian, he would have been obsessed with supernatural powers long ago.
Knowing that it was too late for her to make something up now, Gao Huohuo could only tell the truth and even took him with her.
Otherwise, if they lie to him again and he finds out, it might affect their ability to retrieve the treasure.
However, he took the opportunity to place a seven-step lock on him, in case he tried to steal the treasure, he would be trapped there.
Once Su Ruoyun has retrieved the treasure, then release him.
Zhong Hanshang smiled, pretending not to notice Gao Huohuo's little actions, and followed her to Su Ruoyun's place.
To avoid Su Ruoyun misunderstanding, Gao Huohuo quickly explained it to her using his supernatural powers.
When the two met Su Ruoyun, she simply nodded to Zhong Hanshang.
"Now you believe me, right? I didn't lie to you this time; everything I said is true."
Zhong Hanshang nodded and turned to leave, but was stopped by the two in unison.
"Don't leave!"
Gao Huohuo stepped forward and said, "Now that you know our secret, you can't go out. What if you attract other people here?"
Su Ruoyun nodded in agreement. If it weren't for Gao Huohuo vouching for her, she wouldn't have let anyone come.
"What if people outside come looking for me?"
Gao Huohuo blurted out, "You mean that saintess? Don't worry, with her strength, she can't get here."
"Fellow Daoist Su, wait here for me, I'll be right back."
After Gao Huohuo finished speaking, she turned and walked away, forgetting that Zhong Hanshang was still locked within seven steps of her.
They pulled Zhong Hanshang out directly, almost causing him to fall to the ground.
Su Ruoyun saw that Gao Huohuo's magic was indeed quite effective, as he was able to trap Zhong Hanshang, who was in the Nascent Soul stage.
"Fellow Daoist Gao, what have you done to me this time?"
No wonder I couldn't control my body from falling down when we first met.
I thought it was caused by a mutation in the multicolored light cluster at the bottom of the river.
Gao Huohuo smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhong, this is a spell I created myself—Seven-Step Lock, which can lock a person within seven steps of me."
Zhong Hanshang tried it out of desperation, and sure enough, he couldn't break free.
"When will you untie me?"
"Once we get the Chaos Pearl, we will naturally unlock it for you. Don't worry, I know you and that Holy Maiden are a couple, so I won't bother you."
Upon hearing this, the playful smile on Zhong Hanshang's face instantly turned into anger.
Somewhat displeased, he said, "I have nothing to do with the Holy Maiden, don't talk nonsense."
Okay, okay, if you say it's okay, then it's okay. Anyway, it has even less to do with Gao Huohuo.
When they reached a fork in the road, Gao Huohuo first set up a barrier inside, and then had Xiao Lingzi set up an illusion outside.
Anyone who comes here will find that there is no road and it is impassable.
Zhong Hanshang's eyes widened in surprise, and he blurted out, "You can actually create illusions?"
“I don’t know this trick, but my son Xiao Lingzi is an expert in it.”
Gao Huohuo responded calmly and unhurriedly.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Hanshang's expression of shock deepened, his mouth slightly agape as he asked incredulously:
"How old are you? How come you already have a son?"
Seeing his expression, Gao Huohuo wasn't annoyed. A slight smile played on her lips as she clapped her hands lightly and called out:
"Little Lingzi, come out and show yourself to Uncle Zhong."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black stone flashed out from the side.
Gao Huohuo introduced with a smile: "Hey, this is my son, Xiao Lingzi. He also has a younger brother, Xiao Yunzi, but his brother isn't with me right now."
Seeing that Gao Huohuo had no intention of hiding anything from him, he told her everything honestly.
The anger that Zhong Hanshang felt from being deceived by her subsided in an instant.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze inquisitive, and asked softly:
"Do you really trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I might do something to you?"
Gao Huohuo thought to herself: She couldn't be happier that he would make a move against her right now. As long as he wanted to kill her, she could easily control him and make him obediently submit.
However, she showed no sign of it on her face; her eyes were wide open, full of sincerity.
The look in his eyes as he gazed at Zhong Hanshang was sincere and passionate, revealing no trace of falsehood.
“Fellow Daoist Zhong, I know you are of upright character and reliable, and you would never stoop to such despicable acts.”
Gao Huohuo spoke slowly and deliberately, his words sincere.
In reality, she knew perfectly well that the foundation of this trust lay in the fact that Zhong Hanshang was now under her control.
Otherwise, how could she have dared to bring him here so rashly?
However, when Gao Huohuo's words reached Zhong Hanshang's ears, he interpreted them with a different meaning.
After Gao Huohuo finished creating the illusion, the two returned to Su Ruoyun's place.
With nothing else to do, Gao Huohuo asked the two about Luoxia City.
"Huo Huo, how do you know that city is called Sunset Glow City? I don't remember telling you!"
Upon hearing Su Ruoyun's question, Gao Huohuo, for some reason, lied to her.
"I saw some records about this city on that street. Fellow Daoist Su, do you know anything about Luoxia City?"
