Chapter 430 Dark under the lamp
"Third Uncle, you!"
Chu Yan'er had just recovered from her shock and looked at Chu San in disbelief.
The latter looked disheveled, his eyes darting around wildly, and finally couldn't help but turn and run away.
But the next second, the Cloud-Catching Hand, which had shrunk in size, was released, and Chu San's entire body was pulled back, slamming heavily onto the reef once again.
"Damn it! What does this have to do with you! Why are you clinging to me like this!"
Chu San knew he was no match for Ye Kang, and looked at him with immense resentment, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
Ye Kang smiled and said, "Miss Yan'er is so beautiful, how could I bear to see her sad?"
With that, he held an ordinary knife to Chu San's neck: "Tell me, I'm not joking with you."
The blade sliced through, leaving a trail of blood.
Chu San trembled and hurriedly said, "I admit it! I was Steward Hou's inside man, informing him of Miss's whereabouts in advance, but the assassination of the head of the family really has nothing to do with me!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan'er's face turned pale instantly.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she said with a bitter smile, "Why? You're my third uncle!"
Chu San's expression was sinister, and he dared not look at her. He just said in a low voice, "What Third Uncle? In the end, he is just a servant. But I am clearly a member of the Chu family. Why can I only be a servant for the rest of my life? Steward Hou promised me that as long as I help them, he will make me the head of the Chu family later."
"What you say is understandable, but unfortunately I'm not on your side."
Ye Kang shook his head, activated the Entangling Moon Silk, and bound Chu San's hands.
He wasn't interested in playing the hero and rescuing the damsel in distress; he only saved Chu Yan'er to find Chu Dayou.
"Miss Yan'er, let me take you home."
"Why did you help me..."
Chu Yan'er was puzzled. Why would someone help when they had only met once?
Ye Kang transmitted his voice: "Miss Chu, to tell you the truth, I came to Red Island to find the assassins of the Mad Wave Society. I must find your father to lure out the assassins. You help me and I help you. It's fair and reasonable."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan'er's eyes widened in surprise.
Sure enough, this guy had ulterior motives from the very beginning!
She also transmitted her voice, saying, "I don't know where my father is."
"I am a disciple of the Tyrant Whale Sect, is that enough?"
Ye Kang stared intently at Chu Yan'er, revealing his true identity.
Sure enough, the latter looked excited, but dared not believe it easily, and could only say, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Liu to take me home."
Ye Kang smiled, picked up Chu San, knocked out the remaining two rogue cultivators, and then followed Chu Yan'er all the way to the Chu family.
The three major families control Hongdao, but they do not reside in Hongdao Port; instead, each owns a piece of land.
The Chu family was located on a plain with many buildings, but at this moment the entire family was shrouded in a faint shadow.
Without the protection of a Grandmaster of the Divine Sea Realm, the future prospects of the family are bleak.
Without alerting anyone else, Chu Yan'er led Ye Kang straight to the Chu family ancestral hall.
After entering, Chu Yan'er closed the door and said cautiously, "Mr. Liu, are you sure you're not lying to me? Are you really a disciple of the Tyrant Whale Sect?"
"nature."
Ye Kang smiled slightly, and the disciple's robe of the Tyrant Whale Sect appeared on his body, along with an identity jade token.
"This jade token can prove my identity, Miss Yan'er. I have shown my utmost sincerity and told you frankly that I have a grudge against Kuanglan Society. If I can capture one of them alive, it will be of great help to me. I hope you understand."
Chu Yan'er pondered for a moment, then stared into Ye Kang's eyes: "What do you know?"
"Although Miss Yan'er went out to search for someone with Xu Xun, you weren't surprised that the Xu and Hou families were involved in the murder of your father. This proves that you already knew about this, am I right?"
"Yes, I know."
“That’s right. Although you are young, you are quite shrewd. It’s understandable that you pretend not to know. But it’s unreasonable that you’re still at home. If I were you, I would already be on my way to ask for help. If I remember correctly, Red Island should be an affiliated force of the Tyrant Whale Sect, right?”
Hongdao is not neutral; in fact, there are no neutral islands in the entire Coral Islands.
Ye Kang had seen it on the Tyrant Whale Sect's sea charts; the color used to mark Red Island was an accessory color of the Tyrant Whale Sect.
They're just a little far apart.
"No matter what, since you are so shrewd, you can't possibly be completely oblivious. If Chu Dayou really has disappeared, you will definitely try your best to send a message to the Tyrant Whale Sect and ask for justice. Unless, someone is preventing you from going."
Ye Kang's gaze sharpened as he voiced his conjecture.
Chu Yan'er frowned, not expecting that this guy could see through so much just from one expression.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Father said that the disciples of the Tyrant Whale Sect may seem reckless, but they are actually shrewd beneath their rough exterior. That's certainly true, but I still can't completely trust your identity."
Boom!
Ye Kang suddenly gathered a layer of fist energy and swung his fist fiercely, causing a giant whale phantom to roar violently.
At this moment, Chu Yan'er's expression was blank, and she no longer had any doubts.
It's impossible to learn the Tyrant Whale Divine Fist without being a disciple of the Tyrant Whale Sect.
She immediately cupped her hands in greeting: "Greetings, Your Excellency. I have been very rude. Please forgive me."
Ye Kang simply put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Take me to see your father."
"No need, you can see it right here."
Chu Yan'er shook her head, then with a surge of true energy, a beast-head statue behind the ancestral hall suddenly began to rotate, revealing a dark opening.
Ye Kang's pupils contracted, his heart filled with shock.
What a brilliant concealment technique! His own nascent divine sense didn't detect it at all. Those Grandmasters of the Divine Sea Realm probably searched this place countless times, but they didn't find anything amiss.
Chu Dayou did not disappear at all; he had been hiding in his own home!
"What a perfect example of 'blind spot under the lamp'!"
"Please forgive me, my father was seriously injured and had no choice but to recuperate here. Only because he is missing will those people temporarily refrain from attacking the Chu family."
"That's true."
Ye Kang followed him into the cave entrance.
It turns out that there was a basement hidden beneath the ancestral hall, but the entire structure was made of special materials and even had a layer of array to block it, making it extremely cleverly hidden.
Ye Kang glanced around. Setting up the formation wasn't difficult, but he had never seen these materials before.
Soon, a stone gate appeared ahead.
Chu Yan'er said, "This is a secret chamber that my father built many years ago. Even a grandmaster cannot find it. But my father cannot come out either, or he will be exposed."
After saying that, the stone door opened.
The two stepped inside, and the stone door closed again.
Chu Yan'er cupped her hands toward the stone bed in front of her and said, "Father, someone from the Upper Sect has come. He has something to discuss with you."
Ye Kang remained silent as a faint, almost imperceptible smell of blood entered his nostrils.
Then a flash of light appeared inside the room, revealing a stone bed.
On the stone bed, a burly man with disheveled hair smiled at Ye Kang and said, "I am ashamed that I cannot greet the people from the upper sect who have come from afar."
