"???"
"!!!"
"..."
Upon hearing his words, Jin Xiuxian and the other two jolted in their seats.
The next second, Abbot Hui Guang sprang to his feet and exclaimed, "The token is yours! How do you have their token?"
Yu Tongbao took out the white token from his embrace and deliberately played with it in his hand.
Abbot Hui Guang, Jin Xiuxian, and Mao Xiang stared intently at the token in his hand, their pupils filled with shock and disbelief.
Luo You had gone with the token to invite Abbot Hui Guang. As soon as he returned, Yu Tongbao had pocketed the token.
Before Yu Tongbao could answer Abbot Hui Guang, Jin Xiuxian also stood up and asked, "What is your relationship with them?"
Yu Tongbao smiled mysteriously and replied, "I am one of them!"
Hearing this, the three were once again jolted and exchanged glances.
They had initially not believed Yu Tongbao's words, but the token in his hand forced them to.
Mao Xiang's gaze returned to Yu Tongbao, and he asked, "Pavilion Master Yu, what is the reason you have called us all here today?"
Yu Tongbao put away the token and said, "I have called you all here today mainly to ask for your help, to help our Miaobao Pavilion..."
"Recently, our Miaobao Pavilion has offended the Order Hall. The Order Hall might make a move against us! I need you all to work with me to deal with the Order Hall!"
"How did you offend the Order Hall?" Mao Xiang asked.
Yu Tongbao scanned the three of them and, without any concealment, truthfully replied, "We killed people from the Order Hall!"
This time, even Mao Xiang couldn't sit still. He stood up and blurted out, "Could it be that the attack on the Order Hall last night, where several people were killed and injured, was done by your Miaobao Pavilion???"
The Golden Saber Gate, Miao Village, and Lingyun Temple were all not weak forces. They all possessed relatively strong intelligence-gathering capabilities.
Last night, eight members of the Order Hall were attacked, with two dead and three injured. Early this morning, some of the weaker members of the Order Hall who were outside the capital were urgently recalled.
Such a major event, Mao Xiang and the others had naturally received news of it!
Therefore, not only Mao Xiang looked at Yu Tongbao in astonishment, but Jin Xiuxian and Abbot Hui Guang stared at Yu Tongbao, so shocked that their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.
Besides shock, the three also felt a hint of fear!
Attacking the Order Hall, had Miaobao Pavilion gone mad or become emboldened?
Instantly, Mao Xiang exclaimed loudly, "Yu Tongbao, are you crazy? You dare to oppose the Order Hall! Does your Miaobao Pavilion think its life is too long?"
"And you ask us to help you deal with the Order Hall? You must be dreaming! You might be crazy, but we are not. Why should we get involved in this mess with you!"
With that, Mao Xiang picked up the saber placed beside his seat and made a move as if to leave.
Jin Xiuxian and Abbot Hui Guang also prepared to leave.
Before they had taken a few steps, Yu Tongbao rose from his seat and said, "Sect Leader Mao, King Miao, Abbot Hui Guang, as long as you stand with our Miaobao Pavilion this time, once this crisis passes, I, Yu, will certainly repay you generously!"
"I can also recommend to the three of you, allowing you all to join the Divine Gate..."
Mao Xiang and the other two showed no reaction to the first half of his words and did not stop their steps towards the exit.
However, when the latter half of his sentence was spoken, the three of them stopped their steps in unison.
Seeing this, Yu Tongbao's lips pulled into a smile, and he continued, "I believe you are all very clear about what the Divine Gate represents, and there is no need for me to explain further!"
"Moreover, I won't hide it from the three of you, I am very familiar with Young Master Long of the Divine Gate! Young Master Long is also very supportive of this attack on the Order Hall!"
Jin Xiuxian turned his head and asked doubtfully, "Young Master Long? Who do you mean by Young Master Long?"
Yu Tongbao did not elaborate, merely saying indifferently, "Young Master Long's father is the Vice Leader of the Divine Gate!"
After several hours, Qin Yi and Xue Qiaoer arrived at Miaobao Pavilion headquarters from Haicheng.
The two got out of the car outside the Miaobao Pavilion headquarters. Just as Xue Qiaoer was about to ask Qin Yi if they should go in directly or what, a black car pulled up beside them.
The car door opened, and Li Changsheng, Fang Zheng'ao, and two other members of the Order Hall got out.
Xue Qiaoer was first surprised when she saw them, and then quickly walked up and called out, "Deputy Hall Master, Squad Leader Fang..."
Qin Yi also stepped forward.
Li Changsheng and the other three were also somewhat surprised to see Xue Qiaoer and Qin Yi.
Fang Zheng'ao asked, "Qin Yi, Squad Leader Xue, why are you here?"
Xue Qiaoer subconsciously glanced at Qin Yi and replied, "He suddenly wanted to come!"
At once, the four turned their gaze to Qin Yi, their expressions filled with confusion.
Qin Yi sensed it but showed no intention of answering, changing the subject to ask, "Squad Leader Fang, are you here at Miaobao Pavilion to seek revenge?"
Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to answer, but he didn't know how to!
The reason he was here today was entirely because Lan Baizhi had suddenly told him to come! He himself was still a bit dazed, not knowing what Lan Baizhi wanted him to do here!
Fang Zheng'ao nodded and looked towards the buildings of the Miaobao Pavilion headquarters, squinting his eyes and saying, "That's right!"
Subsequently, since Qin Yi had only met Fang Zheng'ao and not the other three, Li Changsheng, Xue Qiaoer introduced them to him.
Qin Yi learned that Li Changsheng was the Deputy Hall Master of the Order Hall, and the other two, one named Huo Qiyang and the other Qin Qiong, were both squad leaders of the Order Hall!
As for Li Changsheng, Huo Qiyang, and Qin Qiong, upon seeing Qin Yi, their eyes continuously scrutinized him.
They looked as if they wanted to see through him.
"Cough cough..."
Qin Yi felt it and coughed, about to say something.
But before he could utter a word, two people from Miaobao Pavilion noticed them and walked over.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
Instantly, Li Changsheng and the others withdrew their gaze from Qin Yi and turned to the two Miaobao Pavilion disciples.
Li Changsheng said in a deep voice, "Is Yu Tongbao home? Hurry inside and tell Yu Tongbao that Li Changsheng of the Order Hall is here to see him!"
"What???"
"You are the Deputy Hall Master of the Order Hall, Li Changsheng..."
The two Miaobao Pavilion disciples were greatly startled by this.
Immediately, one gave the other a look, and the latter immediately turned and ran into Miaobao Pavilion to report.
Regarding the situation, Xue Qiaoer said, "Deputy Hall Master, why are you being polite to them? They attacked us for no reason and even killed two of our brothers. We should just go in directly, apprehend Yu Tongbao, and hold him accountable!"
Xue Qiaoer detested Miaobao Pavilion to the extreme!
Not to mention the previous incident where Ming Xuanyuan and the others robbed ordinary people, and Miaobao Pavilion attacked members of the Order Hall, just today, the Great Protector of Miaobao Pavilion, along with two experts, went to deal with her. If not for Qin Yi, she didn't know what the outcome would have been!
