3595: C3595 Accident to the Truth

C3595 Accident to the Truth

After Jiang Ting returned to the inn, he had just passed through half of the hall when he suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at the corner of the hall with lightning speed.

On the other side, there was a grey-clothed man with a somewhat burly physique who had an unpleasant expression on his face. At this moment, the grey-clothed man's eyes were filled with surprise and bewilderment.

When he saw Jiang Ting turn his head, the man hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, senior."

Jiang Ting stared at the grey-clothed man and asked, "You... know me?"

"No... I don't know. What virtues and abilities does junior have? How can I be qualified to know senior?" The man in gray shook his head.

Jiang Ting's face became expressionless. "Your eyes are not right."

"Senior, did he offend you? If that's the case, junior will throw him out now." The manager hastily approached Jiang Ting and secretly expressed his anger towards the man in grey.

Jiang Ting frowned slightly and said unhappily, "You can leave now."

The manager was about to speak, but his expression instantly stiffened. Since he'd asked for it, he could only bow bitterly before turning around and leaving.

Jiang Ting ignored him and looked at the man in grey. "Tell me about it."

"Senior, what do you want this junior to say?" The man in grey carefully asked.

Jiang Ting suppressed his impatience and said softly, "Where is the bewilderment in your eyes coming from?"

The man in gray was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and he was only at the third level. To a Golden Core warrior, he was like an ant.

Jiang Ting was the only one who was not violent. If it was a Golden Core warrior with a bad temper, he might have already attacked.

The man in gray hurriedly lowered his head. "I never thought I would be able to see Senior Golden Core's face here. I was so shocked that I couldn't control myself... Please forgive me, Senior, and let me go this time."

The corner of Jiang Ting's mouth raised slightly. "Interesting..."

"What... what's interesting?" The man in grey lowered his head, not daring to look at Jiang Ting.

"You, follow me." After saying that, Jiang Ting did not explain and walked towards the stairs.

The man in grey wanted to continue arguing, but he found that his legs were completely out of control as he followed Jiang Ting towards the stairs.

Before he could even reveal his shock, he felt his mind go blurry... He fell into a kind of state where he seemed to be awake, but not awake, like he was in a dream, not a dream.

On the outside, the man in gray's body had become slightly stiff, as if he was carrying a puppet.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Jiang Ting was not surprised. He went straight up the stairs.

Second floor, third floor... Not long later, he returned to his room. The man in gray followed him to his door.

"Come in." Jiang Ting ordered expressionlessly and entered the room.

He waited until the man in gray entered as well. There was no wind in the room and it was closed.

The man in gray had a stiff face as he stood not far away from Jiang Ting. His cultivation base was too low.

He was only at the third level of Foundation Establishment. If Jiang Ting, who was at the Golden Core Earth Realm, was willing, he could kill him in one breath.

As for the condition of the man in gray... it could be said that he was in a trance.

Jiang Ting used his powerful divine sense to directly suppress and control the gray-clothed man's divine soul, causing him to fall into a state where he did not know what was outside... Simply put, the gray-clothed man was now the marionette in Jiang Ting's hands.

Jiang Ting, who had returned to his room, did not make a sound. Instead, he sized up the room... Hmm, no one came in after he left.

He slowly walked to the edge of the bed, sat down, and said, "You... know me?"

"I don't know..." The gray-robed man's voice was wooden.

It was impossible for the gray-robed man, who was like a puppet, to have any emotions right now.

Jiang Ting frowned when he heard this. Just now, when he passed through the hall, he noticed that the grey-clothed man was looking at him.

He just didn't pay much attention to it at that time. He just thought that it was a passerby... However, he soon realized that the man in gray's gaze had become bewildered.

After he turned his head, the grey-clothed man's eyes became even more bewildered. It was obvious that he recognized him.

However, he was currently only in an illusory form... A random illusory appearance. How could there be such a coincidence that there was that person, and that person had even met that person's friend?

If the grey-clothed person were to tell the truth when he asked, perhaps he would not pursue the matter. After all, it might really be such a coincidence.

In the end, the grey-clothed person said that he did not know... Since he did not tell the truth, he directly controlled the grey-clothed person and prepared to slowly ask in the room.

But unexpectedly... at this moment, the man in gray had indeed been controlled by him as a marionette. It was impossible for him to lie. Could it really be a coincidence? Had he been overthinking it?

While Jiang Ting was deep in thought, the man in gray was as still as a statue, motionless.

After a while.

Jiang Ting spoke again, "Since you don't know him, why are you surprised? Or perhaps it's because you haven't seen me in this Black Thunder City?"

This time, the question was directed to the essence. If it was really a misunderstanding, he could not possibly be troubled by a mere Foundation Establishment realm... If it was a misunderstanding, although he would not apologize, he would give him some insignificant benefits and let him leave.

Moreover, in this state of confusion, even if the man in gray was awake, he would not remember what had happened during this period of time... and there would not be any accidents or unexpected troubles because of this.

He looked at the gray-robed man again.

He continued to speak with a wooden voice, "Senior, your aura is similar to Senior Jiang Ting's. That's why junior is a little surprised and puzzled."

Jiang Ting, who had already decided to let him go, suddenly felt a chill in his eyes. The temperature in the room suddenly dropped... Because he was asking about the previous situation, even though the man in grey had become a puppet, he still subconsciously greeted him respectfully and modestly.

As for Jiang Ting...

He was Jiang Ting, so his aura naturally wouldn't have any problems.

But... he didn't remember seeing this man in gray.

A mere Foundation Establishment third level gray-clothed person would not be able to know what kind of state his aura was in... even if it was other Golden Core cultivators or even Soul Transformation cultivators. It was impossible to detect the aura in the painting through some drawings or photographic stones.

In this way, this grey-clothed man... actually knew his aura?

With this thought, Jiang Ting withdrew his cold intent. "Looks like I unconsciously discovered something extraordinary."

"I don't understand." The man in grey shook his head.

Jiang Ting asked directly, "Who are you, and where are you from?"

The man in gray answered without hesitation, "My name is Liu Kai, and I'm from the Profound Thunder Sect. I've been cultivating in the sect since I was young."

Jiang Ting said coldly, "Why do you know Jiang Ting's aura?"

The grey-clothed man, Liu Kai, was still as wooden as before. "Before this junior agreed to the master's request to leave, I met Senior Jiang Ting once in the sect. Because of Senior Jiang Ting's reputation, I remembered his aura."

Jiang Ting's expression was stunned. This Liu Kai had met him in the Profound Thunder Sect?2

But... he... he had never been to the Profound Thunder Sect!

After arriving in the vicinity, he had always been in the vicinity of the Profound Thunder City, and the only time he had left by accident was when he had gone out to the Myriad Burial Pit.

Since he hadn't gone to the Profound Thunder Sect, how could Liu Kai have possibly seen him? Unless... someone pretended to be him and went to the Profound Thunder Sect, and what Liu Kai saw was an imposter.

Then he thought of the uneasiness that he couldn't get rid of... Jiang Ting suddenly had some guesses.

Someone pretended to be him and acted in his name, and it was very likely that it would cause some kind of monstrous disaster. It was also because of this that when he was completely unaware of it, his intuition would give rise to uneasiness!
