Chapter 162: Lian Qingzhou Reappears

Two monks carrying empty baskets walked past her, and she followed them silently.

Not long after, they arrived at a side hall.

As usual, the little fox followed in quietly, and she waited quietly outside.

Suddenly, the little fox's sharp voice rang out in my mind: "Traitors, these traitors!"

The voice turned from sharp to gentle: "Junior sister, this is not what they meant."

After a long silence, a wronged voice came: "Senior Sister, I don't want to cook..."

The gentle voice suddenly became stern: "Shut up! Think about the sisters in the palace."

Listening to their conversation, Tao Zi made a bold guess that these two people might be disciples of Xulan Palace, just disguised as cooks.

She mentally instructed, "Little Fox, see how many normal people are in there."

The little fox agreed, emphasizing, "I'm older than you. I'm 150 years old. Don't call me a little fox."

Tao Zi responded casually, and then said: "Little fox, be careful."

This guy definitely did it on purpose! The little fox wandered around depressed.

After a while, the little fox's shocked voice came: "Tao Zi, your companion is here!"

She was stunned for a moment, several faces flashing through her mind, and asked, "Which one?"

"There are quite a few. Almost everyone who arrived at the third gate with you is here, along with a few others. They're talking. I'll repeat it to you."

After a while, the little fox's voice, pretending to be gentle, rang out: "My fellow Taoists, I'm sorry. It's Qingzhou's fault that you are in this situation."

The next moment, the voice became gentle: "No one expected this to happen, even though the young lady said that."

"Junior Brother Han, don't worry. Qingzhou will get you and your fellow junior brothers and sisters out of here no matter what."

Tao Zi's expression gradually became amused, "Qingzhou", "Han", how did they get together?

She asked in her mind, "What's going on with them?"

"Hiding in the corner, seemingly undetected... they found me."

Tao Zi raised her eyebrows, and the little fox's soft and gentle voice came: "Oh, there is a beautiful snow-white fox here."

Needless to say, she knew who said this.

The little fox's voice rang out in grief and indignation, "My cousin is here... She actually also signed a master-servant contract! A dignified nine-tailed fox has ended up like this."

Tao Zi asked cautiously, "Who did your cousin sign the master-servant contract with?"

"A cultivator named Zhao Xue."

She breathed a sigh of relief, but was also quite surprised. To be honest, she thought it was Lian Qingzhou just now.

Tao Zi spoke again: "Just pretend that you are here to look for your cousin. I won't show up yet. You follow them and see what they are going to do."

"Aren't they your companions?"

"I have things to do, so I can't show up in front of them. Follow them, and pay special attention to the behavior of the weak-looking monk."

It agreed, and Tao Zi left.

The inner demon appeared at this time. It followed her footsteps and said, "Tao Zi, don't you hate Lian Qingzhou?"

She was a little impatient. What was this inner demon thinking about all day long?

"Does she deserve my hatred? I do want to kill her, but it's mostly out of disgust and grudges."

She didn't invest much affection in her, they were just pursuing their own interests.

The inner demon continued, "Don't forget, Lian Qingzhou is much better at winning people's hearts than you. Tao Zi, are you afraid that everything will happen again?"

She smiled, her eyes full of sarcasm: "I will be disappointed, but I'm far from scared. Besides, if it happens again, it will just allow me to focus on my own affairs."

The inner demon spoke slowly: "I will just watch from the side and see if you will end up making wedding dresses for others."

Tao Zi ignored it and walked around the area. After getting familiar with the terrain, she asked herself, "Where are you now?"

The little fox replied, "We came to a garden."

Tao Zi suddenly asked, "How did they get here?"

The little fox was quiet for a moment before saying, "The cultivator named Lian Qingzhou received word that some demonic cultivators had come to the Xulan Palace to cause trouble, and he wanted to intervene. As for why your companions came, it seems that the guy named Han Yueshan couldn't resist the beauty and came here with his fellow apprentices."

Tao Zi: ...very good, very much like what Han Yueshan would do.

The little fox continued, "My cousin is now complaining to me about Han Yueshan's actions. How did you, a companion, offend her?"

She was also a little puzzled: "I don't know either."

Tao Zi went back to the side hall and sneaked in. As she expected, the defense inside was very loose.

Soon, she found the kitchen.

Someone was cooking inside, and she looked so angry that it made people suspect that she would poison the food in the next second.

There was also a woman with demonic aura supervising her beside her. The demonic aura on this woman was very light, and her facial expressions were more flexible, not as stiff as those monks carrying baskets seen before.

Obviously, this is a relatively successful experiment.

Tao Zi took advantage of the corpse demon's inattention and revealed a corner of her clothes.

But after a while, the cooking woman suddenly threw the wok away and said angrily: "I won't cook this dish anymore. Whoever wants to cook it can do it."

She turned towards Tao Zi and said loudly, "You're in the Spiritual Silence stage, and you're almost fasting, yet you still love to eat these mortal foods. I wonder if you're mentally ill!"

The demonic woman knocked her down. She didn't even struggle, but continued to curse, "And those two in the heartbeat period, they usually look so righteous, but they actually cooperated with aliens. They're not human, they're simply not human!"

She was cursing there, almost telling him everything she knew.

The evil-minded woman knocked her unconscious with a palm strike and threw her aside.

Not long after, another gentle and tough-looking woman appeared from a small door and started cooking silently.

Tao Zi's expression became serious. This person was the one she had placed in Xulan Palace.

She was very confident in the people she arranged, and it seemed that the woman must have noticed that something was wrong with her companion.

She hid quietly when suddenly there was a sound of a plate breaking. The woman immediately bowed her head and apologized with a sincere look on her face. She took the initiative to lower her head and sweep the broken pieces together and put them aside.

The garbage was placed where Tao Zi could see it.

She stared at the fragment, her eyes narrowed.

The fragments seemed to be placed randomly, but Tao Zi saw a shape - the secret code of the torture hall, which pointed to the west.

This undercover agent must have informed the Punishment Hall, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately acted like this. I just don't know when the people from the Punishment Hall will arrive.

If someone comes, I don’t know where they are from, which is really troublesome.
