Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1458

At first, Shen Lin was a little confused because he hadn't seen how this person appeared.

He seemed to appear out of nowhere, and judging from the direction he was heading, he was heading straight for Master Zheng's residence.

However, Shen Lin quickly realized what was happening and muttered to himself:

"He only showed up after dark, and he was heading straight for Master Zheng's house. He must be the White Lotus Taoist!"

Just as Shen Lin was speculating about the identity of the man in black, Master Zheng in the room was finally able to speak.

Of course, this was not because of the White Lotus Taoist. In fact, at this time, the White Lotus Taoist had not yet entered Master Zheng's residence.

The only reason he was able to speak was because the gag stuffed in his mouth had fallen out during the servant's torture.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party hadn't stopped silencing him, Master Zheng quickly spoke up:

"The Lord himself promised that as long as I complete the mission, I will be allowed to return to the Holy Church. I am also a member of the Church."

"Now that I have completed the task assigned by the sect leader, I am still suffering your bullying. I am not satisfied and I want to see the sect leader."

In fact, when the cloth ball mentioned by Master Zheng fell off, the guy tormenting him was thinking of stuffing it back into him.

However, his body couldn't react as quickly as his mouth. Before he could even begin to act, Master Zheng had already shouted out the words.

Now he was in a somewhat passive position. Logically speaking, since Master Zheng had returned to the Holy Sect, they should be considered one of their own.

He could previously feign ignorance to shirk responsibility, but now that Master Zheng had spoken, he had no choice but to stop.

He then made no further mention of the bullying Zheng had mentioned, only responding to the question about wanting to see the cult leader.

"The Sect Leader is not someone you can just see whenever you want. Who are you? When the Sect Leader wants to see you, he will naturally see you!"

Seeing that the other party responded coldly but did not continue selling, Master Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, he didn't really need to see the White Lotus Taoist; he just didn't want to be tormented by this guy in front of him again.

He had originally thought that he might be able to extract some useful information from the other person while he was venting.

As a result, this guy gagged him from the start and didn't say a word during the torture.

Without saying a word, they just kept hitting him, resulting in him getting nothing but pain.

He was so tormented that he couldn't take it anymore, and just then the gag in his mouth fell off, giving him a chance to save himself.

Therefore, he didn't care at all what the other party said, nor did he care whether he could see the White Lotus Taoist.

As long as this person stops torturing me, I've achieved my goal.

However, just as Master Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"I did say that you could return to the Holy Church as long as you completed the tasks I gave you, but it seems you haven't done what I asked you to do yet!"

Upon hearing this voice, the two people, who should have reacted differently, actually had very similar reactions.

Master Zheng was tense and somewhat afraid, and the person tormenting him was also tense and afraid.

Seeing that the other party reacted similarly to himself, Master Zheng was also puzzled and couldn't understand why this was the case.

However, reality didn't give him much time to ponder, because after that sound came, the door to the room opened.

Before Master Zheng could react, the man in black robes who had been torturing him suddenly knelt down on the ground.

"Your subordinate, Xiao Jinghai, greets Your Excellency, wishing you boundless blessings and a long and prosperous immortal journey!"

Before this, even when the White Lotus Taoist came to his door in person, Master Zheng did not fully believe in the other party's identity.
