Hey, you are reborn too?

Chapter 88 Aren’t you curious where my key came from?

"The contents of the wooden box..."

Master Li repeated it subconsciously, blinked a few times, and did not answer immediately, his eyes somewhat evasive.

"Why?" The man raised an eyebrow as he dangled the key between his fingers. "Master Li, you didn't fail to get the contents of the wooden box, did you?"

Seeing that Master Li didn't say anything, the man took the key and turned around as if to leave.

"How, how is this possible?" Sect Leader Li panicked, fearing that this man would abandon him, and shouted without caring about his image, "'Iron-faced Swordsman', please stay. I have retrieved the item in the wooden box for Sect Leader Jiang!"

"Oh?" The man slowly turned back and stretched out his hand to Master Li, "Then take the things in the wooden box."

"How can I give it to you?" Master Li's face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was anxious or embarrassed. "If you let me out of this water prison, I will naturally give the thing to Master Jiang."

The man narrowed his eyes, looked up and down at Master Li, and twitched the corner of his mouth, looking a little disgusted.

"If you really got the magnolia branch," the man shrugged, "you were locked up in the dungeon for so long, they couldn't have searched you, how could you have kept the magnolia branch?"

"Of course I have other ways."

Master Li raised his neck, unwilling to admit the facts, and was trying his best to make up for his lie.

"Can you think of any other way?" The man sneered, disbelief in his eyes. "If you really had another way, why did they lock you up in this dungeon?"

Sect Leader Li hesitated for a long time and stammered, "It's hidden in a secluded corner somewhere in the general's mansion," but was ruthlessly interrupted.

"Okay, why are you pretending to be so nice to me?" The man took a step closer and lowered his voice. "Actually, even if you don't have the magnolia branch, it's not impossible for me to rescue you."

"Really?" Sect Leader Li raised his head suddenly, his eyes bright, "Brother Tiemian, if you have any request, just tell me!"

"Oh, that's it," the man stood up and spoke a little louder, "I'm quite curious, what does Master Jiang want this magnolia branch for?"

"Well, of course I know that," Master Li's eyes rolled around, as if he was trying to recall something, his mouth widened in a flattering smile, "Brother Tiemian, how about you help me untie one of the handcuffs first, so that it will be easier for me to tell you."

"Oh, you really know?" The man took a step forward, as if he was interested, and took out the key again. "Go ahead and tell me, I'll solve it while you tell me."

Hearing a "click" sound from his wrist, Master Li tried to shake his wrist gently.

Able to move! He suppressed his ecstasy.

"This magnolia branch is a rare medicine," Sect Leader Li cleared his throat before speaking, "However, Sect Leader Jiang is not using it for himself, but to give it to others."

"Give it to someone?" The iron-faced swordsman had no expression on his face and spoke calmly, "Who does Master Jiang want to give it to?"

"Here," Sect Leader Li raised his eyes, pointed at the other handcuff, and smiled a bit flatteringly, "Untie my other handcuff, and I'll tell you."

"Untie the other handcuffs too?" He took a step back, raised his eyebrows, and crossed his hands in front of his chest, in a defensive posture. "If I untie your other handcuffs, you will run away, right?"

"You are a martial arts master," Master Li tried to be as humble as possible, hoping that the other party would be less wary of him, "and my martial arts skills are just so-so. With you here, how can I escape?"

"Master Li, I advise you to recognize the situation," the man raised his head slightly and put the key back into his arms, "I don't have to save you. If you really die, I can just reply to Master Jiang."

The man paused, then smiled: "After all, Sect Leader Jiang didn't necessarily ask me to get you out of the dungeon alive."

Master Li's eyes suddenly widened and his body began to tremble unconsciously.

"Brother Tiemian," Sect Leader Li struggled to find his voice in the dungeon, forced a smile, and looked at the man almost pleadingly, "You are a magnanimous man, please don't mind my weak actions. I will tell you what Sect Leader Jiang has planned."

"Wait a minute," the man frowned and spoke again, "Just now I asked you to speak, but you refused to say anything. Now, hey, you are willing to speak again. How do I know if you are telling the truth? What if you are trying to deceive me?"

"This..." Master Li stared with his eyes wide open, almost spitting out blood, "Then how do you want me to prove that what I said is true?"

"You speak first," the man took out the key from his arms again, walked to Master Li, and pretended to unlock his chains, "I can tell the real from the fake. Also, I advise you not to try to deceive me. After all, Master Jiang also told me what the Magnolia Branch is for."

"So you already know everything," Master Li frowned, "Why are you still asking me?"

"I am a suspicious person by nature. I always want to confirm whether what Sect Leader Jiang says is the same as what you and I say."

“I see.” Sect Leader Li now understood the situation. Knowing that the “iron-faced swordsman” in front of him was his last hope, he became serious. “Sect Leader Jiang took the magnolia branch to give to the Miaojiang Gu King.”

"Oh?" The key was inserted into the lock, but it didn't turn for a long time. "What does the Miaojiang Gu King want that Yulanzhi for?"

"Well," Master Li blinked several times, "I'm not very clear about this either."

"You really don't know?"

Seeing that the chains had not been untied, Master Li became anxious: "I said I don't know, and I really don't know. Do I have to make up a lie to deceive you?"

"Oh," the man replied calmly, pulling the key out of the chain with a click, "it seems you really don't know."

"Hey, brother," Master Li looked at the chain on his hand, then at the key he had pulled out, and struggled a few times unwillingly, "Didn't you say that if I told you that, you would help me unlock the chain?"

Seeing the man turned around and didn't respond, Master Li shouted even louder: "Hey, you promised to help me untie the chains, how can you break your promise!"

"I'm sorry, brother." The Iron-faced Swordsman turned around, spread his hands, and shrugged. "Aren't you curious about where my key came from?"

"I don't care where you come from," Master Li panted heavily, staring at the only hope of survival, "Use this key to unlock my chains!"

"Brother Li, Brother Li," the Iron-faced Swordsman suddenly raised his head and laughed, "Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know? Sect Leader Jiang never asked me to save you. He has already given up on you!"

"what!"

Sect Leader Li leaned forward and stretched out his hand to hook the iron-faced swordsman's robe: "This can't be true, you must be lying to me!"

"Why is it so hard to tell the truth from the false?" The Iron-faced Swordsman asked in a puzzled tone, as if he was really curious. "You are just a discarded pawn to him at this moment. Why would he take the risk and send someone to the water prison in the general's mansion to rescue you?"

"Then you," Master Li's eyes were almost burning with fire, "why did you come here?"
