Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Guanqi raised his hand and gathered the few scattered jade slips into his grasp.

With his hands behind his back, he started walking towards Yuan Hongyi's study upstairs.

But after taking only two steps, Li Guanqi stopped.

He turned back and smiled at Yuan Hongyi, saying, "Tower Master Yuan is busy with official duties, so I'll just take these things back to read."

Yuan Hongyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Li Guanqi was going to insist on reading those jade slips right there.

Hearing that Li Guanqi was going to take them back, he was immediately overjoyed.

"Haha, good, good, good! If you have any questions later, just ask me."

Yuan Hongyi just wanted to get rid of this troublesome guest as soon as possible, fearing that he would cause some trouble in his territory.

A strange smile appeared on Li Guanqi's lips, a smile that was particularly eerie in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I will definitely ask you if there's anything I don't understand."

After saying that, Li Guanqi flashed out of the Yellow Tower.

His movements were watched by many who were interested. Everyone had different thoughts about Li Guanqi coming out so quickly.

Moreover, Li Guanqi was followed by hundreds of densely packed jade slips!!

It looked as if Yuan Hongyi had prepared a lot of things for him.

In reality, Yuan Hongyi only gave him three. He himself took all the blank jade slips, various map jade slips, and even the communication jade slips of Lu Kangnian, Ye Feng, and others to make it look impressive.

Li Guanqi even muttered in distress, "Ah, when will I ever finish reading so many things? I'll have to call Lao Yuan over to have a good chat later..."

The muttering was not loud, but not soft either...

Just enough for the nearest few people to hear.

Immediately afterward, Li Guanqi's figure disappeared from the spot.

By the time Li Guanqi returned to the other courtyard, everything he had said and done had already reached the ears of others.

Yuan Hongyi was afraid that there were spies watching him, so he sealed the entire Yellow Tower within a barrier.

This also led to some people inside the Yellow Tower not being able to send out messages, and others not being able to send messages in...

At this time, Yuan Hongyi was sitting in his study, drinking spiritual tea in large gulps, his eyebrows furrowed.

Fatty was sitting on a chair with a frown, unable to figure out who could have known that his aura disappeared inside the Yellow Tower, and who told Li Guanqi.

However, while he was pondering, the jade slip that Jiang Yi used to send him messages was about to explode.

But outside the Yellow Tower, the barrier's light curtain flickered non-stop. Since Li Guanqi left, Jiang Yi had been unable to contact Yuan Hongyi.

Jiang Yi was so angry that he crushed Yuan Hongyi's communication jade slip on the spot and cursed loudly.

Li Guanqi took out the Pavilion Master's jade pendant and smiled, "Oh dear, Tower Master Yuan, the content in this jade slip is a bit too obscure. Why don't you come over and explain it to me?"

Buzz!!!

The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Master's jade pendant was not restricted by the Yellow Tower's barrier, and the voice directly rang in Yuan Hongyi's ears.

Yuan Hongyi's heart pounded when he heard Li Guanqi's voice. But he recalled that he had quickly agreed to help Li Guanqi with anything, and he wished he could slap himself twice.

In the end, he could only get up and disappear from his study, arriving outside the other courtyard's barrier and bowing respectfully.

"Yuan Hongyi greets Pavilion Master!"

Buzz!!

The barrier of the other courtyard opened, and Li Guanqi smiled, "Brother Yuan, come in quickly."

As he spoke, Li Guanqi had already arrived at Yuan Hongyi's side, reaching out to lead him into the other courtyard.

With a surge of divine sense, a trace of a cold smile appeared on Li Guanqi's face the moment he closed the barrier.

"Continue to monitor the others, and find me information on these people."

Whoosh!

A faint fluctuation flashed past, and Li Guanqi walked into the other courtyard without changing his expression.

Yuan Hongyi looked at the jade slips on the table with trepidation.

He knew exactly what was in these three jade slips...

They contained only a rough overview of the Yellow Tower, with almost no substantive information.

"Uh... Pavilion Master, feel free to ask any questions you have. Old Yuan, I will definitely tell you everything I know without holding back."

Li Guanqi smiled and directly put away the three jade slips, took out a jar of strong wine, and placed it on the table, smiling.

"Hey! What questions? There are no questions!"

"I'm just new here, and I'll need to rely on Brother Yuan a lot in the future."

"I didn't call you over for anything, mainly just wanted to have a drink with you and get closer."

Yuan Hongyi looked at Li Guanqi with suspicion, and when he saw that he was really just tasting the wine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was quite puzzled, he was happy to do so and simply opened up and drank.

He had already decided that if he got drunk, he wouldn't be able to ask him anything!

But what Yuan Hongyi didn't know was that when he left the Yellow Tower and entered Li Guanqi's other courtyard...

The other three tower masters were in an uproar.

Jiang Han slammed his fist on the table, causing all the teacups on the table to jump.

The man angrily shouted, "Hmph! I didn't expect that the traitor who appeared first was that old fellow Yuan Hongyi!"

"Hundreds of jade slips! Dad!"

"He's going to reveal all of the Yellow Tower's secrets! As if that's not enough, he's even blatantly chatting with Li Guanqi in secret!"

"It's been an hour and he still hasn't come out!"

In the antique hall, the old man sitting in the main seat had a gloomy face and didn't say a word!

Jiang Yi, with a gloomy expression, folded his hands in his sleeves, constantly calculating something in his mind.

The old man's eyes flickered with a sharp light, staring blankly at the white jade bricks not far away.

He didn't think Yuan Hongyi was that stupid...

But he couldn't contact him from the beginning, and still can't now...

"I thought Tu Yongsi was the guardian left by the old Pavilion Master."

"But that Li Guanqi suddenly appeared, and drank and chatted with Ji Yuchuan, sitting by his side."

"Now he's mixed up with Yuan Hongyi again!"

Speaking of this, the old man's voice gradually became extremely heavy.

"This Li Guanqi, perhaps, is smarter than any of us expected!"

The old man folded his hands in his sleeves, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and his face was cold.

He said indifferently, "Since that's the case... then I'll play with you."

"Let's see if you, the dragon crossing the river, are stronger, or if I, the local snake, am stronger!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man raised his hand and took out a silver-white scroll, writing down several orders on it.

Red Tower top floor.

Tu Yongsi sat at the table, looking at the jade slip in front of him, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, lowering his head so that people could not see his appearance, only hearing some whispers.

Ji Yuchuan, sitting cross-legged in the center of the great formation, slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said softly, "This game... everyone has entered the game!"

"Since that's the case, then I'll play too."

"Lao Yuan, ah, Lao Yuan... he's not just a show... he's not as easy to deal with as you think!"
