Chapter 644 - 641: Lure the Snake out of the Hole (1)
"No problem." Despite saying this, Ling Chen still obediently lay on the bed and asked Zhou Jun and his companion, "How did you guys get here? Didn’t Elder Zhou restrict you from visiting me?"
Zhou Jun opened the prison door and followed Song Ge inside, saying, "It’s already been two days. Song Ge and I have begged many times, but the old man flatly refused us. Today, I got the idea to say that your wound needed changing, so he finally let us come to see you. Hey, don’t move, let Song Ge check your injury."
Ling Chen nodded. Resting his head on his hands, he asked, "How has Miss Su reacted?"
"I’m not sure. I haven’t seen the Pavilion Master in a few days; everyone has been busy searching for something."
Hearing this, Ling Chen asked with a puzzled expression, "Searching for something?"
"Yes. They suspect you stole something very important from the Yangxin Pavilion, but you had nothing on you and never left the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. So, the Pavilion Master and others speculate you must have hidden it somewhere. These last two days, every corner of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has been searched, but nothing has been found. Well, just between us, can you tell me where you hid it?"
Ling Chen replied helplessly, "Asking me is no use, I truly don’t know. Besides, do I look like the type who would do something and not admit it? Hey, tell me, what exactly did the Yangxin Pavilion lose?"
Song Ge and Zhou Jun looked at each other and both shook their heads, saying, "We don’t know. It must be very important to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. I’ve tried to indirectly ask Elder Zhou, although he never said directly, from his few words, I suspect it’s an old artifact from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, possibly hundreds of years old. There’s been a lot of rumors these days about it. Some say it’s related to the survival of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, but that seems exaggerated; there aren’t many reliable sources."
After thinking for a while, Ling Chen said, "Could you two do me a favor and tell Miss Su that I really didn’t steal anything from the Yangxin Pavilion, it must have been someone else who framed me?"
"That... Alright, I’ll pass the message, but whether the Pavilion Master believes it or not is up to her; I can’t guarantee anything," Zhou Jun replied.
Night fell.
The gloomy cell was silent, all the prisoners were in deep sleep.
