Chapter 948: Chapter 195: Do You Know It _2
How could he not know that Jiang Wang had already completed the cleansing of his crimes?
Granny Bizhu had long since died! She must have died at the hands of Jiang Wang, how could he not know?
It could be said that his attention to Jiang Wang’s and Granny Bizhu’s trip to the Lost World was no less than that of Chongxuan Sheng and his group.
A single Granny Bizhu spoiled a significant plan, her death is not regrettable. However, her death swept the face of Gu Huaixin’s entire faction! Not to mention competing for third or second place in the Sea Tower, if they’re not careful, they might have to cut a few large chunks of flesh out in the current situation!
As Gu Huaixin’s most valued direct disciple, he could reap significant benefits during Gu Huaixin’s rise to power. Should Gu Huaixin fail, his loss would also be at the forefront!
What was once a great opportunity to stand out among his peers was now at a standstill or even regressing.
How could he not hate Jiang Wang, how could he not hate that traitor Zhu Bijing?
Chongxuan Sheng looked at him and slowly said, "It’s only right for you to want to confirm the cleansing results. The Sea Tower’s concern for its disciples and your strict attitude in handling official duties is truly admirable."
Ji Shaoqing seemed to be completely oblivious to the sarcasm in those words, simply responding, "Brother Chongxuan is too kind, I’m merely dutiful. Mutual understanding is key."
"So how do you wish to confirm it? If you need to return to the Sect’s headquarters to check the maritime list, please feel free to do so." Chongxuan Sheng made a gesture of deference, "If you need to verify with someone, feel free to mention it. Among us here, we all have some friends, maybe they can help you get in touch sooner."
Ji Shaoqing paused for a moment, suddenly at a loss for words. He had been deliberately stalling for time, creating difficulties for these people. It’d be better if they caused a scene. On Huai Island, he had no reason to fear anyone.
He hadn’t expected this fat man to let it be.
Only then did he realize the difficulty of the situation.
If he left the End of the World Platform now, those Black Armor Warriors might not be able to withstand the pressure from these people. And which name could he mention that would know to help him stall for time without any prior agreement?
"Life and death are of utmost importance, Brother Ji, please make a decision soon." Li Longchuan immediately pressed, "Being dutiful does not mean deliberately delaying. Or are you actually planning to watch Zhu Bijing slowly die? No matter her faults, she was once your fellow sect member!"
"How could that be!" Ji Shaoqing, of course, refused to acknowledge such an infamous reputation, immediately saying, "Brother Li, please do not misunderstand. Ah, this is such a mess. I too hope little Zhu is well..."
As he explained, his eyes darted around, suddenly exclaiming, "Disciple Xu! Please come over for a chat!"
Just then, a cultivator happened to fly by not far from the End of the World Platform. Hearing the call, he stopped, hesitated for a while, but still flew over.
When the man flew closer, Ji Shaoqing smiled and said, "Disciple Xu, here’s the situation. As your senior, I am responsible for guarding the End of the World Platform and detaining the criminal, and I cannot leave. Could you help me check the maritime list at the Sect’s headquarters to see if Jiang Wang has indeed completed the cleansing?"
For the elite disciples of the Diao Hai Building, having access to copies of the maritime list is not unusual. Ji Shaoqing intentionally mentioned the maritime list at the headquarters of the Diao Hai Building. That part, being one of the three segments of the maritime list, is naturally more detailed and reliable, but the main purpose was to clearly make the person go the extra mile.
But in fact, Ji Shaoqing’s choice had a deeper layer.
The newcomer was named Xu Yuan, the biological son of Xu Xiangwan, the third elder of the Diao Hai Building!
Given the competitive relationship between Gu Huaixin and Xu Xiangwan, especially after nearly coming to blows at the End of the World Platform, his relationship with Xu Yuan was naturally not good either.
He was sure that given Xu Yuan’s personality, he might not refuse in front of others, but once he turned around, he might not give him the time of day.
This would effectively delay the situation. Chongxuan Sheng and the others could not blame him. If they had to blame someone, they would have to blame Xu Yuan. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Xu Yuan gave Jiang Wuyou and the others a glance, nodded, and was about to leave.
"Brother Xu, hold on a moment!" Yan Fu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "How can we trouble you with such effort? I have a copy of the maritime list here, which I will give to you as a token of friendship. Whatever you need to verify, just look for yourself."
A copy of the maritime list, as a part duplicated from the maritime list, was not very rare. But obtaining the qualifications to possess it was not easy.
These copies also came in various grades.
Like the one Jiang Wang took with him to the Lost World, which only recorded his personal achievements and would be taken back after leaving the Lost World.
The copy that Yan Fu was now offering Xu Yuan could reflect the information of many cultivators in the Lost World and belonged to the hard-to-obtain grade. Its value, indeed, could be considered substantial.
Yan Fu was known for being calm, speaking little, and having a gentle and reserved manner. But whenever he spoke, he usually hit the nail on the head, with an unstoppable air of generosity.
It was either buying or gifting.
Ji Shaoqing naturally did not welcome this, hastily intervening, "It’s still better to check at the Sect’s headquarters. I don’t mean to say your copy is fake, but it’s hard to distinguish true from false. I have stated beforehand that we must be cautious..."
"This is real."
Xu Yuan took the copy of the maritime list in his hands and abruptly interrupted Ji Shaoqing, saying very seriously, "This maritime list is real, I can tell."
Ji Shaoqing pursed his lips but said nothing in the end.
"Then please take a look, has Jiang Wang completed the cleansing?" Chongxuan Sheng asked with a smile.
He actually opened the maritime list and began to look through it.
