Chapter 166 Fellow Countryman
Chapter 166 Fellow Countryman
Hearing this, the figure stopped smiling, pinched his chin in confusion, and muttered to himself, "How does he know the fate of the country? This shouldn't be possible!"
"Remember...Liu Yuntian whom I told you about before?"
"Him? He's still alive?"
Wuji had no expression and stared at the other person without saying a word.
"Haha, don't be impatient, Wuji, it seems that I was wrong, he may not be an ordinary cannon fodder..."
At this point, he gestured seriously and exaggeratedly, "Maybe he's a very powerful... villain!"
The man spoke in a casual and half-joking manner.
Seeing Wuji's somewhat impatient expression, the man also felt bored. He curled his lips, took out a palm-sized red gem from his arms and placed it on the table.
"Hey! Do you want to say hello to him? He's a big villain! I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my chest!"
Wuji looked down, glanced at the red gem, and looked at the other party again, "Do you think Ye Ling was killed by him?"
"Hehehe, of course, the person holding the sound transmission stone now... must be him!"
Wuji frowned, "He is very dangerous... If he knows of your existence, it will alert the enemy."
The man didn't pay attention to Wuji's words. He spread his hands and said indifferently, "The villains are all ruthless people who will survive to the end! Besides..."
Before he finished speaking, the man tilted his head, grinned, revealing a row of sharp teeth, and said in a weird smile, "Maybe he has guessed my existence~"
"He can guess you just by looking at Ye Ling? You think too highly of him."
"No, no, no... and... at the Hundred Sects Conference, we underestimated the enemy and revealed many flaws. If he was smart enough, he would have realized that there was a broker interfering!"
Wuji was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and touched the gem on the table, "Then give it a try."
After taking the gem, Wuji thought for a while, then injected his spiritual power into the sound stone.
But the next moment, the man stretched out his hand and interrupted Wuji.
Wuji stopped what he was doing and looked at the other party in confusion, "Why? You want to come in person? Don't you plan to continue hiding?"
"No——" He denied Wuji with a long tone.
Then he said with a smile, "Hehehe, I have a little guess and I need you to help me confirm it."
"What guess?"
"Your first words...must be: Hello?"
......
Northern border, the capital of Liang State.
Liu Yuntian sat on the armchair in the center hall of the Liu Mansion.
There were no candles burning in the room.
In the darkness, there was only the faint sound of Liu Yuntian's breathing.
He placed one hand on the armrest of the armchair, and with the other hand, he played with the red sound transmission stone that he had taken from Ye Ling.
Keep throwing it up, catching it, and throwing it up again...
At this time, the red gem began to flash continuously, and the mother stone of sound transmission sent a connection request.
Liu Yuntian's hand suddenly froze, and after hesitating for a moment, he poured spiritual power into it.
The next second, a familiar voice came from the sound transmission stone, "Hello?"
Hearing this greeting, Liu Yuntian's hands couldn't help but tremble, but soon stabilized.
He didn't say anything, but listened silently, holding his breath, hoping that he could get some useful information from the other party's language.
"I am Wuji, I know it's you...Liu Yuntian."
Liu Yuntian held the sound transmission stone and slowly raised it, then put it to his lips and smiled, "It turns out to be Lord Saint. I haven't seen you for a while, and I miss you very much."
"Ye Ling is dead?"
"died."
"It seems like you win this time."
"Thanks to the Lord Saint for showing mercy, Liu... was just lucky."
"..." At this time, no sound came from the other side.
Liu Yuntian looked down at the sound transmission stone in his hand in confusion.
It was still flashing, and after confirming that the other party had not hung up, it continued, "Saint Lord...who is the person next to you?"
"Gudong."
Liu Yuntian clearly heard the sound of Wuji swallowing his saliva, and then he said jokingly, "Have I met him before?"
"What do you think?" Wuji replied coldly.
Liu Yuntian chuckled, "That should be because he has never seen it. I always walk in the sun, never go into the gutter... and never come into contact with rats."
“Puff—hehehehehehe!”
As soon as Liu Yuntian finished speaking, the sound transmission stone emitted a shrill laugh, and then a crazy voice came from the other end, "I'm a mouse! Wuji, did you hear that? He said I'm a mouse! Hehehehehe!"
Then, the light of the sound stone quickly dimmed, and then gradually faded until it turned into a colorless stone.
It wasn't that the other party hung up the call, but that they directly destroyed the mother stone for transmitting sound.
This also resulted in the stone in Liu Yuntian's hand turning directly into a useless stone.
He held the sound transmission stone in his hand and gently crushed it twice.
The powder slowly flowed down through the cracks in his hands.
"A time traveler..." Liu Yuntian muttered, then smiled bitterly, "Things are becoming more and more interesting. I hope he is not the son of destiny... Otherwise, I will have to go through the genealogy of the Heavenly Dao and greet everyone one by one!"
At this time, a light flashed between Liu Yuntian's eyebrows, and the shadow of the traveler emerged from it. "Boy, what do you mean by a time traveler? And what does Wuji's first sentence mean?"
Liu Yuntian sneered and shook his head, "That was just a test to make sure the other party could hear it."
"Probing?" The traveler scratched his head. "The other party can only connect to the mother and child stones by continuously infusing spiritual power. After the connection is successful, he will definitely be able to hear it. Why is he testing this?"
However, Liu Yuntian had no intention of explaining this to the traveler.
He rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, "Since there is a fellow villager...why didn't he steal the poem? Or make salt and sugar, but kept it for himself?"
“Are you a latecomer?”
"No!" Liu Yuntian firmly rejected it. "Anyone who can work with Wuji on an equal footing is definitely not someone who would take shortcuts to rise to the top..."
"Oh, ha ha ha, I see... Keep it to lure fellow villagers... What a wretched and shady rat!"
Liu Yuntian laughed unconsciously, "Wang Shu, Wang Shu... this move of yours is going to become my magic move!"
