Chapter 1 Justification!

"Makes sense!" Hong Ji-ge was the first to agree with Sun Miaomiao's guess, "I also think that in this painting, Huo Zhengkui cherished it so much, the Holy Disc fragment must be in it."

Tianxia Guihuo nodded, "Hong Ji-ge is right, it seems the Holy Disc fragment is not in the painting."

Zhao Chenghuang agreed, "Not in the painting."

Sun Miaomiao was originally very confident, but seeing Hong Ji-ge so sure, she pursed her lips. If Hong Ji-ge could see it, then it meant the fragment wasn't in the painting.

Zhang Yuanqing said, "Since Hong Ji-ge has spoken, we can eliminate the painting!"

Hong Ji-ge stood there blankly, like a child abandoned by the whole world!

Guan Ya looked at Hong Ji-ge with pity and amusement, finally mentioning, "It's time for me to shine. With the Knight's item as proof, Ms. Jojo shouldn't be lying. Since Ms. Jojo doesn't know about the Holy Disc fragment, then it means Mr. Huo wants to test us!"

"If it's a test, Mr. Huo must have left us clues."

"First of all, he wouldn't leave the Holy Disc fragment in such an obvious place, so we can exclude the painting. We can search the house. Um, Ms. Jojo, did Mr. Huo like to write a diary?"

People of that era liked to write essays and diaries, and even liked to use newspapers as message boards to argue with each other!

The calico cat shook its head, "Mr. Huo didn't like to write a diary!" Zhang Yuanqing was about to say, "Who writes a diary these days?" when he heard the calico cat change its tone, "My master liked to write a diary!"

Zhang Yuanqing also changed his tone, "Writing a diary is good, decent people like to write a diary. But there's no need to look for the diary, I have another Holy Disc fragment. The fragments can sense each other, as long as I hold it, I can definitely find that fragment." As he said this, he took out a fan-shaped copper piece covered in patterns!

Based on Fu Qingyang's experience last time, the Holy Disc fragments could sense each other. Therefore, before exploring the maze, he had already asked Fu Qingyang for the fragment that released the seal!

Although the single pass Knight also had that fragment, the four fragments were in a sealed state, and they wouldn't sense each other until the seal was released!

Fu Qingyang only sensed the Holy Disc fragment sealed inside Zhou Ji Fengniao Zun after breaking the fragment's seal!

And Zhang Yuanqing was sure that the fragment in Yao Cai's hand hadn't been unsealed! Seeing the gang leader take out the Holy Disc fragment, Hong Ji-ge beamed with joy, as if relieved of a heavy burden, "Great, now I don't have to use my brain!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief! Zhang Yuanqing held the Holy Disc fragment and walked around the first-floor hall, constantly touching the objects in the hall, the table corners, sofas, hanging paintings, potted plants, and ornaments!

Touching them one by one! It seems the Holy Disc fragment isn't on the first floor. "Ms. Jojo, is it convenient for us to go upstairs?" Zhang Yuanqing asked with a smile!

The calico cat nodded. The group went upstairs excitedly. The second floor was the master's bedroom, with a study, a tea room, a room full of flowers and grass, and two antique rooms!

One room contained Chinese antiques, and the other contained European antiques! No props or materials were seen!

Zhang Yuanqing, like a feng shui master, walked around the second floor holding the fan-shaped copper piece, but didn't sense the fragment. His expression suddenly became a little awkward, "It seems it's not on the second floor either?"

"Ms. Jojo, can we go to the third floor?" The graceful calico cat tilted its head! The group hurriedly ran to the third floor and explored it, but still didn't find the Holy Disc fragment! Hong Ji-ge spoke bluntly, "Is your fragment fake? Is it going to work or not?"

Although the others weren't as tactless as the Fire Master, their gazes towards Zhang Yuanqing were already filled with suspicion!

"Should we go to the two adjacent auxiliary buildings to take a look?"

Zhang Yuanqing's face was very awkward! The calico cat shook its head, "Those two chimney buildings are warehouses where old Berent stored materials and props. There are no things belonging to the master and Mr. Huo!"

"Moreover, the main building and the two auxiliary buildings are not connected. You can only go out to get there."

"But Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao won't listen to me. Their duty is to kill anyone who breaks in here. Only the awakened old Berent is recognized by Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao!"

"Then, then let's look at the diary!" Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, "It doesn't make sense. Fu Qingyang personally tested it. If the Holy Disc fragments are close to each other, they will produce a reaction!"

Could it be that Huo Zhengkui, the old gentleman, specially applied a second layer of sealing to the fragments in the manor in order to test future generations, so the fragments couldn't sense each other?

If that's the case, then it's meaningless to let Little Doubi search for treasure. He will most likely climb directly to old Berent's collection!

The calico cat turned around and walked towards the stairs, "Come with me, the master's notes are in the bedroom!"

The group followed the calico cat back to the second floor and entered a room filled with the atmosphere of the Republic of China era. The calico cat jumped onto the red lacquer dressing table and patted the tabletop, "The notes are in the drawer!"

Zhang Yuanqing then walked to the dressing table and opened the drawer. Sure enough, he saw a black-covered notebook!

The notebook hadn't been touched for many years and had accumulated a layer of shallow dust!

"Has old Berent not read the notes?" Good, Zhang Yuanqing blew off the dust on it!

The calico cat said lightly, "I don't let him see it, and old Berent is a Thunder mage, an upright Thunder mage..."

Guan Ya, Zhao Chenghuang, Sun Miaomiao, and Tianxia Guihuo swarmed over. Hong Ji-ge, knowing that reading and deciphering wasn't his area of expertise, went to the antique room in a carefree manner!

"Don't steal anything inside." Tianxia Guihuo warned, "If you anger the calico cat, none of us will have a good time!"

"I know what I'm doing," Hong Ji-ge retorted unhappily! "Are you really treating me like an idiot? Can an idiot be promoted to Saint?" Zhang Yuanqing opened the notebook and began to read the diary.

"March 16, 1927, I was arrested during a student parade, and Mr. Huo saved me, but I am not grateful to him."

"Because he is a running dog of the Freedom Federation, representing the president to fund Chiang Kai-shek! China wants to be independent and autonomous, not a running dog of anyone or any country. China needs a revolution. Chiang Kai-shek wants to slaughter the revolutionary masses. He is a traitor and sinner of the revolution. Unfortunately, there are too many experts around him, I can't get close, let alone assassinate him!"

"There are too few Night Watchers!"

"20th, the students went on strike, nothing happened today, I idled in the teahouse."

"I ran into Mr. Huo by chance. I asked him why he saved me. He said I looked a lot like his deceased wife!"

"Tch, shameless lecher, I got up and left, ignoring him completely. Silence is the highest contempt."

"April 8th, Mr. Huo is really an amazing man. The stories about him would make most women in the world fascinated, and I am no exception!" "Lecher" on the previous page, "amazing man" on the next page?

"Could it be that he looks like your deceased husband too!" Zhang Yuanqing complained in his heart! Considering that Lu Yueshuang, who died at that time, was young and still a student, while Huo Zhengkui's wife had already passed away, she must have been quite old. It's only natural that a young girl would be manipulated by an old man!

"April 10th, Mr. Huo's mission to China is over. He told me that he would return to the Freedom Federation at the end of the month. He invited me to go with him. I don't want to leave my homeland, even though it is already riddled with holes by the war. But Mr. Huo said that going to the Freedom Federation would allow me to better complete my studies, learn more advanced knowledge and ideas, and only then could I accomplish something and save the country!"

"Moreover, the whole world is in turmoil, and the Freedom Federation is a rare pure land. At the same time, the Freedom Federation's attitude can influence the world's格局. If I really want to save my country, going to the Freedom Federation is a good choice!"

"He convinced me. I want to bring Little Li with me!" The calico cat jumped onto Zhang Yuanqing's back at some point. "It's me, I'm the one who came from the Freedom Federation with my master!"

After that, there were some anecdotes and feelings on the ship!

"May 7th, I finally arrived in New York County. I set foot on this beautiful country. I was arranged in a manor in Queens District! Ah! It turns out that Mr. Huo is the head of the largest gang in Chinatown, a funder of the president. He has been actively lobbying, hoping that the Freedom Federation government can support China with guns, cannons, and airplanes to help China resist Japan!"

"I always thought he was a running dog working for the Freedom Federation government. I wronged Mr. Huo!"

"He doesn't want me to stay by his side because the Heavenly Punishment and some anti-China财団 see him as an enemy, and he is afraid of implicating me!"

"May 18th, he arranged for me to enter New York County University, a world-renowned institution. I want to study for the rise of my country." The following content is Lu Yueshuang's study experience in the Freedom Federation. She actively gave speeches in the school, denouncing the atrocities of the island country, but the effect was not ideal.

The arrogant white chocolates didn't care about China's plight, their moonlight was always focused on the European continent!

They would be indignant about the massacre of wandering nations, but they felt that the island country's army's massacre in China was just part of the war!

Lu Yueshuang's enthusiasm gradually cooled down in the face of reality, but she didn't give up. Instead, she continued to unite the Chinese to march and denounce the island country's atrocities!

In secret, she had to prepare for the once-a-month Lingjing instance. Huo Zhengkui used his connections to collect a lot of Wood Demon instance guides for her. In addition, Lu Yueshuang was intelligent and extremely talented, and upgraded in an orderly manner!

Every weekend, Huo Zhengkui would come to the manor to find Lu Yueshuang. Some people discussed war, debated how to save the country, and sometimes had big arguments and broke up unhappily!

Every time they finished arguing, Huo Zhengkui would bring flowers and gifts the following weekend, and Lu Yueshuang would make her signature snacks and play guessing games!

Everything, big and small, was recorded in the notes!

Similar arguments were Huo Zhengkui's proposal to control the president to save the country. In Huo Zhengkui's plan, he would try every means to pull the Freedom Federation into the war, change the world pattern, and save the country through a roundabout way!

Moreover, Huo Zhengkui believed that this was in line with the general trend and had a high success rate!

Years later, the little boy was sent to the island country, World War II ended, and the Chinese civil war, the Red Tide swept across the land of China, unsealed the country and brought light, and established a new regime!

Lu Yueshuang and Huo Zhengkui lived a stable life for a while. After the new regime was stable, Huo Zhengkui actively contacted the Chinese government, wanting to establish an official organization belonging to the Chinese!

But he was politely rejected by the authorities. At that time, the government did not trust Huo Zhengkui and was wary of him. Although this Chinese American had contributed to China during the Second World War, it was the Blue Sky and White Sun who were in power at that time!

Huo Zhengkui did not give up. Lu Yueshuang's notes recorded Huo Zhengkui's three arguments to China, hoping to establish an official organization as soon as possible, incorporate and control the growing number of Lingjing Xingzhe!

Perhaps the social drawbacks after the increase in Lingjing Xingzhe gradually became apparent. After three rejections, the Chinese government invited Huo Zhengkui to China to help form an official organization!

At that time, Huo Zhengkui was an eighth-level Dominator, one of the top ten experts in the country. He had many soldiers and was widely experienced. In addition, he had connections with the Freedom Federation and could effectively deter the domestic Lingjing Xingzhe. He was the best candidate to form an official organization.

However, Huo Zhengkui excitedly prepared to go to China, but what awaited him was an assassination attempt that almost cost him his life!

Then the Freedom Federation government recalled Huo Zhengkui, refused to recognize the Chinese government, and relations between the two countries completely broke down.

Huo Zhengkui returned to the Freedom Federation in despair and died in the Lingjing instance in 1960. After Huo Zhengkui's death, Lu Yueshuang rarely wrote in her notebook. The following year, she also returned to the Lingjing!

The past events of two Dominators are attached to it, a lifetime of honor and disgrace, but only a few thousand words!

Regarding the assassination of Huo Zhengkui, Lu Yuefu left a sentence in the notes: "Suspected to be done by the Tongzhou Association!"

"Tongzhou Association?" Zhang Yuanqing said in astonishment, "Why haven't I heard of this organization!"

Huo Zhengkui was already a Dominator at that time. Being able to assassinate an eighth-level Dominator, and almost succeeding, shows that there are multiple Dominators within the Tongzhou Association!

He had never heard of such an organization. After the founding of the new China, the second district Lingjing Xingzhe did not experience any world-shattering battles. Even the extermination of the Chu family twenty-one years ago was the biggest conflict in the evil and orderly camp.

An organization like the Tongzhou Association couldn't possibly be destroyed!

"Have you guys heard of it?" He looked at his teammates. As a Night Watcher who had been practicing for half a year, he might have seen something. But these teammates were all experienced. Guan Ya and others shook their heads, saying they had never heard of the Tongzhou Association.

"Then that's even stranger!" Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself!

"Cough, cough." Tianxia Guihuo coughed, "The Tongzhou Association can be put aside for now, we're here to find the Holy Disc fragment."

He looked at Guan Ya.

Guan Ya said without hesitation, "Among the items that Senior Lu spent ink describing in the notes, the ones in the manor are porcelain, music boxes, tulips, badges, agarwood, and dried tangerine peel."

So everyone found the porcelain, music boxes, tulips from the antique room, as well as a jar of rotten dried tangerine peel and a jar of fragrant agarwood shavings!

Guan Ya took out the bronze sword and, under everyone's gaze, condensed sword energy and slashed at the edge of the porcelain!

Didn't hit!

She took a deep breath, concentrated, and slashed out a second sword! The porcelain still didn't react!

Guan Ya immediately said, "I can guarantee that the sword energy hit it."

"It did hit, look, it scratched the paint off!" Sun Miaomiao said.

The glaze on the edge of the porcelain showed white spots. It was accidentally added just now. Not every swordsman is called Fu Qingyang!

The calico cat didn't express its opinion and watched silently. Guan Ya then slashed the other porcelain pieces in the same way, but none of them reacted!

She then tried the music box, the jars containing dried tangerine peel and agarwood shavings, and the tulip badge using the same method, but to no avail!

"It seems like none of them." Hong Ji-ge was a little anxious, "Your reasoning isn't working, Guan Ya."

The calico cat seemed even more anxious, "Should we think of another way?"

Guan Ya frowned and pondered. She picked up the notes again and quickly flipped through them. She revealed a determined look, "I know! The bronze sparrow terrace is deeply locked with Er Qiao!"

"The words 'Bronze Sparrow Terrace is deeply locked with Er Qiao' appeared four times in Senior Lu's notes, one of which was after Mr. Huo returned to the Lingjing!"

Self-deprecation when she was young was understandable, but at that time, there was no need for her to say similar things, unless she was deliberately leaving information!

"The two Wood Demons outside are Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao." Hong Ji-ge was rarely quick-witted!

Tianxia Guihuo suddenly realized, "No wonder the fragments can't form a sense of connection, they're not in the courtyard! In that case, a big battle is inevitable!"

Everyone was worried and happy. They were happy that they finally knew where the fragments were, but worried that the two Wood Demons outside were too powerful, and were Dominator-level cultivated by Lu Yueshuang.

This should be Huo Zhengkui's final test for future generations!

Zhao Chenghuang immediately said, "Wake up Mr. Knight, prepare for battle."

"Wait!" Zhang Yuanqing stopped them, frowning and saying, "I think something is wrong!"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Chenghuang asked.

Zhang Yuanqing pondered, "Senior Lu is a literary youth who likes to guess riddles. The Wood Demons in the yard are called Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. Is it too simple and obvious for her to directly hint at the Bronze Sparrow Terrace being deeply locked with Er Qiao in her notes!"

"Then what's your opinion?" Guan Ya asked back!

From the perspective of the characters, Yuan Shi was right, but her limited knowledge of ancient Chinese told her that Er Qiao and Da Qiao Xiao Qiao corresponded to each other!

"Let's look at it from the perspective of guessing riddles," Zhang Yuanqing said, "Bronze Sparrow Terrace is deeply locked with Er Qiao, Bronze Sparrow refers to the Bronze Sparrow Terrace built by Cao Thief, so the focus of this sentence should be Qiao and the Bronze Sparrow Terrace! If Er Qiao refers to two Wood Demons, then what does the Bronze Sparrow Terrace refer to?"

"This manor!" Hong Ji-ge said.

"Isn't that nonsense? Everyone knows the fragments are in the manor, is there any need to solve the riddle?" Zhang Yuanqing rolled his eyes.

At this time, he looked at the calico cat who was listening intently and with relish, and a thought flashed in his mind. He said, "The transliteration of Ms. Jojo's name is Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao is Er Qiao, then what does the Bronze Palm Terrace refer to? Ms. Jojo's cat nest."

The calico cat's expression was like this (00!^) when it was listening with relish, but when it heard this guy point the finger at its cat nest, its expression immediately became like this. (*￣︿￣)

"Ms. Jojo, do you have a cat nest!" Zhang Yuanqing asked excitedly!

"Yes, I do, but I don't want to take you there." The calico cat coughed and walked to the bedroom door with its tail lowered, "Come with me."

The group followed it out of the second floor and up the stairs to the third floor!

The calico cat pointed to a square grid on the ceiling, "My cat nest is in the attic. I don't like living with Mr. Huo and the master, it's too noisy. I prefer to bask in the sun lazily by myself."

"Why didn't you take us up there earlier!" Zhang Yuanqing complained!

"Who would have thought that the master sealed the fragment in my bed?" The calico cat leaped up and slapped Zhang Yuanqing, "Don't break it!"

The calico cat is just so irritable!

Zhang Yuanqing felt his face was hit by a truck, burning with pain. He turned to look at his teammates, "If the fragment is in Ms. Jojo's bed, then there's no need to trouble Guan Ya, I can use the fragment's sense of connection to take it out!"

As he spoke, the calico cat leaped lightly, knocked open the grid, and entered the attic!

Zhang Yuanqing jumped up and grabbed the edge of the ceiling grid and crawled in!

The attic was about one and a half meters high, very spacious, and the floor was clean, with no dust. The top was a triangular roof, with a small window. A retro wooden canopy bed stood by the window. The canopy bed was one meter long and half a meter high. It was very petite, and even had a mosquito net hanging and a soft cushion spread out!

This is Jojo's private space!

As a calico cat with a strong sense of territory and a love for solitude, it stared unblinkingly at Zhang Yuanqing as soon as it came in, "Hurry up and leave my room."

Zhang Yuanqing bent down and came to the canopy bed, then took out the fragment!

This time, the canopy bed shook violently, and the fragment inside produced a sense of connection with the fragment in his hand!

It's really here!

Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed and immediately took out the Purple Thunder Hammer. Under Ms. Jojo's suddenly vigilant gaze, he used the triangular awl at the end of the handle to slash hard on the bed frame!

The triangular awl has the function of breaking evil!

A deep cut was immediately made in the bed frame, and the seal was broken, and a little bit of light escaped, and then gathered to form a fan-shaped copper piece!

Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed, "Found it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a murderous aura coming from behind. He turned his head and saw Ms. Jojo leaping up and slapping him in the face, "This is the bed that my master made for me by hand."
