Chapter 553 Yi'er

When Tao Zi came out from Liu Shiqing's place, she was completely silent.

Li Xiu comforted her, "Tao Mei, stay calm. There's no need to doubt your life. Oh, by the way, you might not know this, but Xi Jing can now fight against Yuanying Stage cultivators. The talismans she crafts can even be used against Fuqiao Stage cultivators. She's an extremely powerful spirit."

Tao Zi pursed her lips and said in a voice so low that it was barely audible: "This is not a good thing."

Li Xiu didn't hear clearly, and said "Ah" in confusion, "What did you just say?"

She smiled and said, "No, I just felt that I woke up a little late."

Cheng Wuchou vaguely understood what she meant and said, "It's never too late to wake up."

Li Xiu didn't think these words meant what they said, but she also felt it was better to know less, so she remained silent.

After taking two more steps, Li Xiu blurted out, "That's not right."

Tao Zi and his sister looked over at the same time.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Li Xiu looked at them as if he had suddenly realized something and said, "Don't I know enough?"

"Huh?" Tao Zi was confused. "Li Xiu, why are you telling riddles?"

Li Xiu retorted, "You are the ones who are making riddles, not me."

The three of them looked at each other, and it was Cheng Wuchou who spoke up, "Actually, I don't know what Ah Zi really meant. I just guessed that she felt that Xi Jing and the other three were increasing their cultivation too quickly, which wasn't a good thing."

Li Xiu was at a loss.

Tao Zi said: "Me too."

Li Xiu was shocked.

Tao Zi added: "I don't know what will happen if they continue like this, I just know it might not be good."

Li Xiu was silent.

After half an incense stick of time, he finally spoke to comfort them: "There's nothing we can do about it. They can't just stand still."

Han Yueshan and Zhao Xue were being watched by the demon world and the monster world respectively, and they were already in a difficult situation.

Needless to say, Xi Jing's strength does not even entirely depend on herself.

Besides, it is always good to have stronger abilities, even if it brings you closer to the so-called disaster.

Thinking of this, Tao Zi nodded and said, "I know, I can't hide forever."

"Ah?" Li Xiu fell silent again.

Cheng Wuchou didn't know what Tao Zi meant, but he still said, "It's okay. The news has already spread to them. As long as they can get out of their sight, they will rush over immediately. If there is anything wrong, they will tell you themselves."

Tao Zi nodded and stopped talking.

At this moment, Liu Shiqing suddenly coughed, and the three of them turned their heads to look over.

Liu Shiqing said, "I've received a mission and need to go out. Can you please give way? The door of my house is a bit narrow."

The three of them tacitly made way.

Liu Shiqing walked out, then suddenly turned back and handed Tao Zi a key, saying, "This mission won't be back for three to five days, so you two can stay here, Aunt Yue. If you don't want to stay here anymore, just lock the door and put the key under the flowerpot."

Tao Zi hesitated for a moment, and Liu Shiqing added, "Aunt Yue, it's best for you to stay here. After all, Aunt Yue's situation is special. My companion just said privately that if you go in, you may be under special surveillance."

Tao Zi probably knew what was going on and nodded in agreement.

Li Xiu asked curiously, "There's no surveillance here?"

Liu Shiqing said: "There won't be a guardian's residence. After all, there are guardians everywhere here. If something happens to us..."

She swallowed the rest of the words.

After Liu Shiqing left, Li Xiu said with emotion: "The guardians here are really trustworthy."

Cheng Wuchou smiled and shook his head, saying, "As for the living guardian, there won't be any problem. After all, if they betray, they will die faster than anyone else."

Li Xiu reacted immediately and stopped talking.

Tao Zi pondered for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go in and take a look. I'm quite curious."

The two nodded, and Li Xiu continued, "There's nothing special here. There are just some animals, plants, and minerals that can only be found in barren lands."

Tao Zi asked, "Is this where Liu Yue found her materials?"

"We found it in this place, and then hired people to collect it."

Tao Zi nodded, and Cheng Wuchou suddenly put a mask on Tao Zi's face: "I'll take you to see someone later. For safety reasons, it's best not to show your face."

She responded curiously.

As soon as she entered, no less than four pairs of eyes fell on Tao Zi in secret. She could clearly sense the warning from the people behind those eyes.

Tao Zi was clear about one thing: these people might not be able to kill her, but if she did something she shouldn't, those people would stand in front of her even if they turned into corpses.

She has seen quite a few of these people, and they are all desperate.

Cheng Wuchou and the others seemed not to notice these gazes and directly led her to an inn.

The waiter came up and said with a smile, "Everyone, would you like to have a snack or eat?"

Cheng Wuchou said, "Eat, bring up all the best dishes you have."

"Okay! I'll arrange a private room for you. It won't cost you much."

After entering the box, Tao Zi cast a puzzled look over.

Cheng Wuchou opened the window of the box and motioned for her to look at the boss below.

She looked down, her eyes becoming even more confused.

Cheng Wuchou said: "His name is Zhou Yi."

Tao Zi still couldn't remember.

Cheng Wuchou further said: "When she was little, her name was Yi'er. When she grew up, she started to practice cultivation. Unfortunately, her talent was average. Until now, she is only at the Xuanzhao stage."

Meaning?

As soon as this name came out, Tao Zi had a vague image of a child in her mind, and she was stunned.

Looking down, Yier now looks like a middle-aged man.

After a long while, she sighed, "Time flies."

Cheng Wuchou smiled and nodded.

"Where are the others?"

He said, "The older ones are basically all dead, and the new ones have all gone on with their lives. So, this child is the only one who has seen you."

Tao Zi was silent for a moment, thinking back carefully, there were indeed not many people alive at that time, but now Yi'er was the only one left, which still surprised her.

Cheng Wuchou looked down again and said, "He's here simply because he lost a fight with someone, so he put a sack on him and attacked him, beating him so badly that his parents couldn't recognize him. That family has some connections, so he ran here to avoid disaster."

"Ah?" Tao Zi thought of the good child she used to be and was a little bit unbelievable.

Cheng Wuchou smiled and said, "That person said something bad about you. He was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old kid who learned some street slang and was just yelling nonsense."

She was stunned for a moment, then she laughed: "Can't you beat Yi'er?"

"That kid had a lot of stuff on his hands, and Zhou Yi refused to ask us for help. In the end, he was in such a mess. The tribesmen who were guarding there were helpless, so they could only quietly help him."

Tao Zi asked uncertainly, "Help me put on the sack?"

Cheng Wuchou coughed and said, "Isn't this to prevent Zhou Yi from going too far?"

Li Xiu said dimly, "So you're going to fight along with us?"

The three of them were silent.

After a while, Cheng Wuchou tried to save some of the tribe's face: "That kid is quite bad at talking. He's been put in a sack every few days. Otherwise, he wouldn't have so many things on his hands. It's a good opportunity to teach him a lesson. They are quite sensible."

Li Xiu continued to be shocked: "They?"

"Friend Li, you don't need to respond."
