Chapter 373: Hidden Strength
Even solemn and excitedly snatched the jade pendant of "Split Heart" from Wang Sancai's hand, put it in his palm and looked at it, and said incoherently: "Really, really!! This is the real 'Split Jade', where did you get it?"
Wang Sancai didn't expect that the solemn reaction was so intense, and he couldn't help but feel surprised: "The name of this jade pendant is the split jade? How did Uncle Zhuang know?"
"Three talents!! Tell me first! How did you get it?!" Zhuang Yan had realized his loss of composure and had already restrained himself a lot, but his tone was still extremely solemn.
Seeing that he was so concerned, Wang Sancai thought about it carefully before saying, "Uncle Zhuang should still remember the night when Jiang Jieming sent someone to ambush me... It was a coincidence that even if Li Lanqi and Wang Yuanfang were caught off guard for me, a guy escaped into the forest. Uncle Zhuang also knew that the forest at night was very easy to hide. When we chased him, he had disappeared in the forest. But just when we were worried, he suddenly felt like he had suffered a heavy blow and was thrown out by a powerful force. Then I found that the man was dead.
However, afterwards, Lord Wang Yuanfang was much more careful than me. This jade pendant was found on the corpse. These heavenly king Yuanfang was very busy. Just when I personally went to thank him in the afternoon, he handed the jade pendant to me and told me that he found that the deceased's gesture of holding the jade pendant was from an outsider. He determined that the guy was thrown out of the forest before he died, and this jade pendant was captured by the deceased from the other party."
He gave all the credit to Wang Yuanfang without hesitation, but Zhuang Yan didn't care. He suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure he grabbed it from the other party? Or is it just your guess?"
According to Wang Yuanfang's meaning, Wang Sancai was certain, but at the moment he could not tell the truth, so he could only say: "It can be sure, because we analyzed the whole afternoon and found that there was no second possibility. Moreover, I and Miss Aning at that time saw a flash of figures in the forest, but they did not capture the other person's appearance."
When he heard this, Zhuang Yan suddenly fell silent.
Wang Sancai looked at his uncertain face and could no longer help but feel confused. He asked, "What? Since Uncle Zhuang recognizes this jade pendant, he must also know the other party's identity?"
While saying this, Wang Sancai's heart couldn't help but jump wildly. He had always been curious about the identity of the long-haired man. He could not have thought that the solemn reaction was so intense, and at least he knew the origin of the jade pendant.
As soon as he finished speaking, his solemn expression changed a few times. At the end, he suddenly laughed strangely, his tone was filled with teasing and ridicule: "Hehe... I don't just know his identity? He and I grew up!!"
When Wang Sancai heard this, he was a little strange at first. Since Zhuang Yan and the long-haired man grew up together, why did he never see them appear together for so long? Just the long-haired man, Wang Sancai only saw him once.
But the next moment, Wang Sancai suddenly thought, doesn’t Zhuangyan have another brother?!
But his thought had just arisen, and before he could say it, Zhuangyan took out a rope from his arms, and under the rope was tied a jade pendant that was exactly the same as that given to him by Wang Sancai!!
"The cracked heart was when I was young. Hai Tianqing's father specially created a pair for me and Hai Tianqing. When the two cracked hearts were placed together, the crack in the middle would disappear, meaning that the two people would not have cracks..." As he said solemnly, he also pieced together the two cracked hearts.
Wang Sancai stared at the two jade pendants that were gathering together. As Zhuangyan said, the crack in the middle actually disappeared!!
Although he didn't understand what secrets these two jade pendants were hidden, the crack disappeared, which only means one thing - this cracked heart is real!
"I'm so familiar with the cracked heart, so when you first took it out, I recognized it at a glance." Looking at the two jade pendants that had lost their cracks solemnly and complicatedly, murmured: "The first moment I touched it, I knew it was real!"
Wang Sancai listened to the solemn words and felt a strange feeling in his heart: "So that... the person who helped me that night was Mr. Hai? Why did he help me? Uncle Zhuang... Has this cracked heart been lost to others before?"
"Absolutely!" The solemn tone was extremely affirmative: "Just before the incident of Jiang Jieming happened, I could still see Hai Tianqing wearing it on my waist every day. I guess he deliberately wanted to confuse my sight and reminded me that he was always loyal to me, so he was like this! However, after that night, I noticed that he no longer wore the cracked heart. I didn't care at that time, and thought he was like me, collecting it in close proximity, but I didn't expect..."
He didn't say anything later, but it was no longer important.
When Wang Sancai heard this explanation, he immediately knew that it was right, but he still couldn't imagine why Mr. Hai helped him that night.
Zhuang Yan saw Wang Sancai's confusion and explained: "Since Hai Tianqing wants to take me and replace him, he must first defeat Jiang Jieming. He helped you stop Jiang Jieming's people in order not to let him report to Jiang Jieming and pave the way for him."
Wang Sancai carefully analyzed the solemn words and felt that this was the only possibility. In addition, he was wearing black masks in the forest at that time and was conscious of keeping a certain distance from him just to prevent himself from knowing his identity.
The key point is that Wang Sancai first met a mysterious long-haired man before, and he had already preconceived ideas. The first person he thought of was a long-haired man, so it was normal to ignore other possibilities.
However, the more Wang Sancai thought about it, the more wrong he became, and he couldn't help but say: "Uncle Zhuang, I feel it's a bit unlikely!"
"Oh?" Zhuang Yan, who was originally staring at the jade pendant and pondered, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang Sancai.
Wang Sancai thought, and said, "The guy who escaped into the forest at that time had the strength of the Concentration Stage. And we found during the battle that although his strength was a little worse than mine, it was not much worse. That means his strength was in the late stage of the Concentration Stage. But what kind of strength could he have to kill the cultivator in the Concentration Stage in one move? Even if the cultivator in the Concentration Stage is close to the point where the oil is exhausted, it is impossible to be killed by a cultivator with similar strength as his own in one move? Besides, I found that the man in the forest was very fast at that time, at least I couldn't catch up with him at all."
Looking at the solemn expression of confusion gradually rising on his face, Wang Sancai shook his head and said affirmatively: "But we all saw Mr. Hai's down-and-out appearance that night in the punishment hall. He could not have such strength at all. Moreover, I had seen Mr. Hai take action on the bamboo and wood mountain range before. It seemed that he was just as good as me. It was impossible for him to instantly kill a cultivator in the Concentration Stage!"
"No!!"
However, his solemn face instantly became decisive, and even his tone became firm: "It must be him!! There will be no mistake! As far as I know, he has always been cautious!"
Wang Sancai's expression suddenly became extremely ugly: "If Uncle Zhuang can be sure, then there is only one possibility left."
