"Senior Brother? What do you want to talk to me about?" Lin Zhuo answered the call, wondering what Cang Yunze wanted to talk to him about. Was it for the local specialties?
"..." Cang Yunze was silent and did not speak.
Lin Zhuo waited for a few minutes, but Cang Yunze still didn't speak, so Lin Zhuo started walking around the forbidden area. Wherever he went, there was no grass growing.
"Have you been kidnapped? Or has someone put a knife to your neck? Why aren't you talking?"
Lin Zhuo was really curious now. Why was Cang Yunze so embarrassed to speak up when he contacted him? Was it so difficult to speak up?
"If you have something to say, just tell me. You can't just do it to hear my voice?" Lin Zhuo asked again.
It has been less than a month since I came to the Demon Realm. Lu Mian should still be in the Songhua Secret Realm. Is there something he must contact me about?
"Are you okay?" Cang Yunze finally spoke.
"Brother, what you said is true. I am full of energy every day and I am doing fine." Lin Zhuo randomly found a tree and leaned against it.
"Then... have you met Xiaosu?" Cang Yunze spoke hesitantly and a little embarrassed.
"Su Ziqi? I haven't seen him yet, but he will be here soon." The army has arrived and the war will begin soon.
"..." Cang Yunze stopped talking again.
Lin Zhuo shook the communication stone, and indeed no sound came out. He wondered if there was such a thing as a bad signal in the world of cultivation?
Just as Lin Zhuo was about to hang up the call, Cang Yunze spoke again: "If, I mean if, can we spare his life..."
"..."
Now it was Lin Zhuo's turn to remain silent. It was not because Cang Yunze was pleading for Su Ziqi, but because he felt that Cang Yunze's words were so familiar.
So it's you who got the script of protecting the apprentice this week, my good senior brother!
"Are you serious?" Lin Zhuo sighed and replied.
Cang Yunze also knew that he should not say this. He had personally seen the scene recorded in the photo stone at that time. It was Su Ziqi who made the first move towards Lin Zhuo. It was really inhumane for him to say this now; but he had been struggling with it for so many days and still felt a little bit reluctant.
"Junior brother, I know I shouldn't say this. I just... just... don't want my disciple to die at the hands of his fellow disciples..." Cang Yunze stuttered, and his words were even a little incoherent.
Finally, Cang Yunze sighed deeply: "Just a glimmer of hope is enough, I don't ask for anything else!"
...
Lin Zhuo was walking on the streets of North City, holding some food in his hands, still thinking about Cang Yunze's communication just now.
Lin Zhuo never thought that Cang Yunze would plead for Su Ziqi. It seems that Cang Yunze cares a lot about this short period of master-disciple relationship.
"What a pity! No one will come to visit us anymore." Lin Zhuo muttered.
"Host, what are you saying?" 0617 only heard some noises from Lin Zhuo, but had no idea what he was saying.
"Nothing." Lin Zhuo shook his head.
While Lin Zhuo was humming a tune and wandering around the street, Su Ziqi's men, who were in charge of guarding the forbidden area, rushed into Su Ziqi's study.
