Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1459

But now, seeing the attitude of this guy named Xiao Jinghai towards the man in black, Master Zheng was completely convinced.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the two, Master Bailian walked slowly step by step to Master Zheng.

As for Xiao Jinghai, who was kneeling on the ground beside him, Bai Lian Zhenren didn't even glance at him.

It's as if this person is just air, as if they don't exist at all.

Arriving before Master Zheng, Master Bailian looked down at him, paused for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"You wanted to see me, and now I'm here. What do you want to say?"

Master Zheng was also surprised that Master Bailian actually came, and for a moment he didn't know how to start the conversation.

Seeing that Master Zheng did not respond immediately, the White Lotus Taoist was not angry, but continued to speak:

"Since you won't say it, then I will. First of all, I must say that I am very satisfied with your performance today."

"To complete the task I assigned, you went to the Imperial Hospital twice without arousing the suspicion of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the secret agents. Very good."

As soon as the White Lotus Taoist finished speaking, Master Zheng's heart jumped into his throat, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Since yesterday, Xiao Jinghai has been with him the whole time, so there was no way he could have had time to spread the news.

This can be seen from Xiao Jinghai's attitude towards Bai Lian Zhenren; if the two had communicated, things wouldn't be like this.

This was precisely what Master Zheng feared: the two had never communicated, yet Master Bailian was able to recount everything that had happened that day.

In other words, both he and Xiao Jinghai were under the surveillance of Bai Lian Zhenren.

You must know that was the Imperial Hospital, the place where Wei Wu recuperated from his injuries. No one could say for sure how many Imperial Guards were around there, or how many secret sentries were hidden in the shadows.

Even a fool like Xiao Jinghai could sense that the Imperial Hospital was heavily guarded, and dared not show the slightest abnormality while waiting outside the door.

The White Lotus Taoist couldn't possibly be unaware, yet even so, he still knew what had happened in the Imperial Hospital.

Could it be that this White Lotus Taoist really knows immortal magic, allowing him to be invisible to others and freely enter and leave the Imperial Hospital?

The idea flashed through Master Zheng's mind, but he quickly rejected it, believing that there could be no such thing as magic in this world.

Otherwise, the White Lotus Taoist could easily kill Wei Wu himself, so why waste time having a cripple do the work?

In fact, it wasn't just Master Zheng who was nervous; even Shen Lin, who was eavesdropping from afar, was astonished upon hearing Bai Lian Dao Ren's words.

He couldn't wait to go back and report this to Wei Wu, but in the end he suppressed his impatience and continued to eavesdrop.

After all, he still had the task of protecting Master Zheng, and if he stayed here, he might be able to hear more information.

Meanwhile, just as Master Zheng was pondering silently, the voice of the White Lotus Taoist entered his ears once again.

"but……"

The "but" clearly follows up on what was left unsaid, and it's unlikely to be anything positive.

Sure enough, just as Master Zheng came to his senses and looked over, the White Lotus Taoist also said the following words.

“My requirement is that Wei Wu is dead. He is not dead yet, so you have not completed your mission and are not considered a member of the Holy Cult for the time being.”

Bai Lian Dao Ren's words were clearly meant to speak in favor of Xiao Jing Hai, but Master Zheng didn't care.

Anyway, he never thought about returning to the White Lotus Sect, and he didn't care whether the White Lotus Taoist helped him or not.

However, he outwardly appeared resentful, deliberately showing his emotions to the other party.

The White Lotus Taoist saw Master Zheng's reaction, but pretended not to notice and continued to speak up for Xiao Jinghai.

"The time before Wei Wu dies will be your trial period. The day Wei Wu dies will be the day you return to the Holy Church!"
