I Have Awakened The Deduction System

Chapter 423 Confusing Kidnapping

The Island Master of Floating Jade Island looked back at Gu Mingzhou, as if asking why he didn't take the opportunity to exploit Murong Fu.

Gu Mingzhou sensed Floating Jade Island Master's gaze and immediately shook his head silently, indicating for Floating Jade Island Master to stop.

After all, the main purpose of this trip was to rescue Zhao Gao, and it was not good to fall out with Murong Fu.

"Sect Master Murong is so busy every day, if we enter the main hall without any notice, wouldn't we be treated as traitors?" Floating Jade Island Master understood what he meant and nodded slightly. He turned to look into the depths of the hall again.

"Brother Liu, don't point at the mulberry tree and mock the locust. How about I drink three cups of wine as a punishment?" Murong Fu's voice was heard again.

A rainbow bridge suddenly appeared in the depths of the main hall and quickly spread to the front of Floating Jade Island Master and Gu Mingzhou.

The Floating Jade Island Master stepped onto the rainbow bridge.

Gu Mingzhou did not hesitate and followed the Island Master of Floating Jade Island onto the rainbow bridge.

"You may leave. In addition, inform the fifth elder and the first elder that we have an important guest." Murong Fu's voice came.

"Farewell, Sect Master!"

The hundreds of cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Sect who were left behind hurriedly cupped their hands and bowed towards the depths of the hall.

Murong Fu didn't reply.

Instead, as the hundreds of cultivators from the Heavenly Sword Sect kowtowed, the rainbow bridge under Gu Mingzhou and the Island Master of Floating Jade Island carried the two of them into the depths of the hall.

The rainbow bridge moved very quickly. What seemed to be a distance of several thousand meters was crossed in the blink of an eye.

It should be a disguised form of some kind of spell technique that could activate spiritual energy to form a rainbow bridge to transport the goods.

Although it looked simple, it actually required very strict control of spiritual energy. Even Gu Mingzhou could not guarantee that he could do it.

This showed Murong Fu's ability to control his spiritual energy.

In front of the side hall.

There was no sign hanging on it. The door of the hall was opened, and inside was a study room.

Gu Mingzhou followed behind the Island Master of Floating Jade Island and came down from the rainbow bridge. He saw a man in a luxurious robe sitting in front of a desk in the side hall and looking up.

He wasn't that old, and his sideburns were a little white. He was no different from an ordinary middle-aged man, but his eyes gave people the feeling that he had experienced many vicissitudes of life.

"Murong Fu?" Gu Mingzhou thought to himself.

"Brother Liu, Little Brother Gu, please come in!" Murong Fu said with a smile.

"Inform the dining room to prepare some wine and food. Today, this seat wants to drink to my heart's content with my old friend." Murong Fu ordered the female disciples behind him.

"Yes, Sect Master!" The female disciple hurriedly bowed and hurried out of the hall.

Gu Mingzhou followed behind the Island Master of Floating Jade Island and walked into the side hall.

The master of Floating Jade Island was as domineering as before. He directly sat down in front of the desk opposite Murong Fu.

Gu Mingzhou nodded slightly at Murong Fu.

"I've long heard of Little Brother Gu's great name, and you truly live up to your reputation! Please take a seat!" Murong Fu stretched out his hand and said.

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Gu Mingzhou sat down beside Floating Jade Island Master.

"I've long heard of Little Brother Gu's deeds. He failed to transcend the tribulation and re-cultivated. This Lord is truly shocked." Murong Fu waited for Gu Mingzhou to sit down before speaking again with a smile.

"I was just lucky." Gu Mingzhou said.

"If we're lucky enough to succeed, I wonder how many cultivators will ascend to the upper realm." Murong Fu said with a smile.

"It seems Murong Fu doesn't know I have reached the earth realm." Gu Mingzhou thought to himself.

First, Murong Yan used his relationship with Floating Jade Island Master to invite Gu Mingzhou to the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Then, he held Zhao Gao hostage and forced Gu Mingzhou to go to the Heavenly Sword Sect!

The two events that happened in succession were enough to prove Murong Fu's great determination to see Gu Mingzhou.

They had no contact with each other, even if they had nothing to do with the Heavenly Sword Sect.

From the beginning to the end, Gu Mingzhou had never interacted with the Heavenly Sword Sect, especially Murong Fu.

What was the reason for Murong Fu to notice him?

Not to mention that he had just returned to the great world, even if he had fought Xu Fengyu on the Floating Jade Island and were evenly matched with him ...

Many thoughts appeared in his mind, but he still couldn't figure out how he could attract Murong Fu's attention.

"Little Brother Gu, I'm afraid you've already broken through to the earth realm?" Murong Fu was obviously testing the waters. His words seemed to be a deduction, but in fact, he threw the question back.

A smile appeared on Gu Mingzhou's face. Just as he had guessed, Murong Fu didn't know he had advanced to the earth realm.

The reason why Murong Fu noticed him was not because of his cultivation!

"Sect Master Murong had gone through so much trouble to lure me and Brother Gu here. Could it be you only want to know Brother Gu's cultivation level?" Floating Jade Island Master suddenly interjected, interrupting their conversation.

"Brother Liu, aren't you too worried? I'm treating you guys to a drink, don't think too much!" Murong Fu laughed.

"If Sect Master Murong were to invite someone for a drink, who in this world would dare to not come? What do you mean by threatening me?" Floating Jade Island Master said disdainfully.

His words were full of blame.

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, who was sitting across from the Floating Jade Island Master, was stunned.

Other than the lawless Xu Fengyu and the Zhou Dynasty's He Chuan, no one else would dare to speak to Murong Fu like this.

"You can't say things like that. Although I've sent two of my elders to invite Brother Gu, it was a sincere invitation. How can you say that I'm threatening him? "

Murong Fu did not feel the slightest bit of displeasure at the Island Master of Floating Jade island's impolite question. Instead, he revealed a puzzled expression and said,

'It seems that your great elder has not returned to the Heavenly Sword Sect!' Gu Mingzhou thought to himself.

From the confusion on Murong Fu's face, it could be seen that he didn't know about Zhao Gao's kidnapping.

However, even if Gu Mingzhou thought so, the Floating Jade Island Master did not think so.

"Murong Fu, you're still pretending. Could it be that you weren't the one who ordered Sect Master Zhao Gao's kidnapping?" before Murong Fu could finish his sentence, Floating Jade Island Master snorted coldly.

"How is that possible? I heard that Little Brother Gu was trying to set up The Trap, so I sent the great elder to invite him. How could I let him kidnap Sect Master Zhao?" Murong Fu asked in surprise.

"You'll know when you call the great elder over!" Floating Jade Island Master said coldly.

Murong Fu's gaze shifted to Gu Mingzhou as if asking for his opinion.

"Island Master Liu is not lying. The first elder is indeed holding Sect Master Zhao hostage in Handan City." Gu Mingzhou immediately said.

"So that's the case. No wonder Brother Liu is so angry. Go and urge the first elder to come in as soon as possible!" Murong Fu said with sudden realization.

"Yes!" a response came from outside the side hall.

'It seems like he really doesn't know the great elder is acting on his own?' seeing that Murong Fu didn't know to hold Zhao Gao hostage, the anger in the master of Floating Jade island's heart dissipated a lot, and smile finally appeared on his face.

If Murong Fu didn't know about Zhao Gao's kidnapping, then the great elder acted on his own.

It looked like an accident, but in fact, he was looking down on the power of the Sect Master and ignoring Murong Fu's will.

Especially for a sect like the Heavenly Sword Sect, which had been around for a thousand years, it was extremely serious.

"Brother Liu, don't be in such a hurry to make a conclusion. We haven't found out anything yet. Let me call the first elder over and ask him." Murong Fu's face was a bit gloomy, but he forced a smile and said.

"Since it's not Sect Master Murong's order, we'll wait for the first elder to return before we talk." Gu Mingzhou said.

"That's the only way." The Floating Jade Island Master nodded.
