Does this also require a group?

Chu Yao carefully recalled Xuedie's memory. She had indeed made an appointment with this group of people in advance and met with them.

However, we have only carried out missions together twice, and I am not familiar with this "curtain" at all.

In Xuedie's impression, this guy was a bit of a solitary person. He clearly didn't pay much attention to him, but he kept talking to himself.

Chu Yao thought for a moment and declined the other party's invitation.

However, she planned to meet with the "master" herself. She wanted to get to know the Blood Hacker Alliance.

Chu Yao turned off the computer. When she returned home, Cheng Nian sent a message.

He happened to be on business at a branch factory in the Tenth Ring Road and visited the quarry. Following Chu Yao's instructions, he gave some money to the greedy Chief Wang and learned that Zhao Li had left in February of the previous year.

If it were an ordinary miner, Officer Wang might not remember it. However, Zhao Li and Zou Chenggong had a certain relationship, so he remembered it clearly.

However, Commander Wang didn't know where Zhao Li went afterwards.

"Thank you, Xiao Cheng, for your great help."

"No, Sister Chu, it's just a small matter."

Although I don’t know where Zhao Li went, it is enough to know that he is still alive.

Chu Yao's ghost is so vicious that ordinary cultivators cannot remove it at all, but with the vision of a Nascent Soul cultivator, there is no problem.

If there is any Nascent Soul cultivator in Tianhai today who can help Zhao Li detoxify, it can only be Liu Yun from his Chongyun Sect!

In order to avenge her son, this woman is really haunting!

Chu Yao is now very fortunate that when she rescued Yao Han and the others in the quarry, she casually asked Commander Wang and learned about the relationship between Zhao Li and Liu Yun.

If I hadn't asked that casually, I would still be in the dark.

Even if the bounty on his body was not put up by Liu Yun, it must be closely related to her.

What we need to do now is to find this person's hiding place and confirm how much her cultivation has recovered.

Chu Yao thought, maybe she could use some of the mission's rules to trick her out...

——

In a blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the third day.

According to Xuedie's memory, Chu Yao came to an apartment in the eastern district of Xindu, which was Xuedie's home.

She is now half a head taller than "Chu Xiaoye", and looks exactly like she did under the blood butterfly mask.

Pushing the door open, Chu Yao looked around the room carefully.

The furniture in the room was very simple, with almost nothing except the necessary items. It didn't look like a girl's room at all, and was even poorer than an ascetic.

Chu Yao found a large tennis bag on the balcony and put the weapons inside. She then picked out a few clothes from the wardrobe, put on a mask and sunglasses, and took the subway to the place where she remembered the "master".

Logically speaking, she didn't need to go through so much trouble. Chu Yao just didn't want to reveal her flaws.

After two stops and about half an hour, Chu Yao arrived at an urban area in the north of Xindu.

This place is very close to Liberty City and is a commercial street with well-developed entertainment industries. There are bars, karaoke bars and other leisure places everywhere.

It was the weekend, and the streets were crowded with people. Chu Yao, bundled up tightly, looked out of place among the men and women in cool summer clothes, and people kept casting curious glances at her.

There's nothing you can do about it; that's just how Xuedie dresses—to cover up the various scars on her body.

Chu Yao didn't want to reveal her true identity, so when she transformed, she did not forget to reveal the injuries on her body as well.

After walking through the bustling commercial street, Chu Yao turned into a darker alley. The number of pedestrians around her decreased significantly.

At the end of the alley, a tavern appeared before Chu Yao's eyes. Above the door of the tavern hung a long wooden sign that read "Fisherman's Wharf."

The long sign looked like several wooden boards nailed together, and it looked shabby in this new city full of electronic screens, but that was their style.

Chu Yao pushed the door open and walked in.

The interior decor retained the same style as the house number. Under the pale yellow light, dark brown tables, chairs, and benches were scattered around, and dock-themed decorations such as anchors and ship wheels hung on the walls.

The air conditioner was turned on very high, and Chu Yao could actually feel a hint of the dampness from the seaside in a trance.

There were not many people in the store because it was still early. A young man who looked young was sitting at the front desk, browsing his phone.

Chu Yao didn't look for a place to sit, but walked straight to the bar and moved the bar stool that was blocking the way aside.

"What would you like to drink, pretty girl?" The young man seemed surprised that someone would come at this hour. However, he still put away his phone in a professional manner.

"Wei Di with ice." Chu Yao said the name of the wine lightly through the mask.

"Sorry, beautiful, we don't have any Wei Di in our store. How about you order something else?"

?

This seems different from what you thought?

Chu Yao thought for a moment, then placed his right hand on the table, tapped it three times with his ring finger, and said again: "Vidi with ice."

But the young man still looked confused: "Really, there's no Wei Di? How about trying our specialty cocktail?"

Chu Yao was stunned. This was different from what they had agreed upon before!

According to Xuedie's memory, this was clearly a secret code for contacting the "master".

Did I go to the wrong store?

The two of them stared at each other in front of the bar, which was very awkward.

"Who ordered the Vida on the rocks?" An old voice came from behind the curtain on the left side of the bar, and an old man with yellow eyes walked over. Seeing Chu Yao's expression, he forced a smile and leaned over to greet her:

"Yes, of course. This way, please."

In the young man's confused eyes, the old man led Chu Yao to the depths of the bar.

"What's going on with that person?" Chu Yao couldn't help but ask, risking breaking the Blood Butterfly character.

"Sorry, I'm a new employee, looking after the shop." The old man smiled sheepishly. "You know, there aren't many people here during the day."

So I came early, right?

This is outrageous. Can you be more professional?

Chu Yao forced herself to suppress her desire to complain and followed the old man through a long corridor.

She habitually projected her spiritual sense outward, taking in all the rooms. Those private rooms were no different from ordinary taverns.

They walked into an empty room at the end and saw a large floor-to-ceiling mirror embedded in the wall.

The old man tapped the corner of a mirror with his finger. A blue light flashed at the tapped spot, and the mirror split in the middle and moved to both sides, revealing the downward steps at the back.

Chu Yao guessed that it was fingerprint unlocking, but the lock surface was well hidden behind the mirror.

"please."

The old man led the way and then turned away. He was just a guide.

The stairwell was very narrow, so Chu Yao tucked the straps of her tennis bag and carried it upright on her back.

Not long after walking, a pair of large double doors came into view. The door was not closed tightly, and Chu Yao heard bursts of conversation coming from inside.

She thought for a moment, took off her sunglasses and mask, put the blood butterfly mask on her face, and pushed the door open.
