161 Damn, I hit a wall!
These people couldn't hear Jiang Xin's inner voice, but no one thought that a child whose teeth had not yet grown could bring danger to them, so they all came over happily.
"Where is Qiao Xu now?"
"How do you know him?"
"Is there anyone else with him?"
A group of people rushed to ask Jiang Xin questions, and someone even asked the question that everyone was most concerned about: "Does he have anything special in his hand--"
However, he was forced to interrupt his speech when his companion glared at him halfway through the question.
Jiang Xin's originally scattered attention was attracted by this sentence. She stared at the person who asked the question and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
The man wanted to say something but hesitated. Under the gaze of his companions, he did not dare to open his mouth.
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to him. Take us to find Qiao Xu. I'll buy you another big chicken drumstick."
Jiang Xin smiled beautifully: "Okay. But you have to lead away the puppet guarding the door first. With that puppet watching, I can't lead you out of the academy."
The old man guarding the gate of the school was just an old man at the second level of Qi Refining. The cultivation level of Qiao Ye and his companions was at least at the Foundation Establishment stage. It was easy for them to fool a Qi Refining cultivator and they could easily sneak in through the back door.
With the Tianshui Sect in charge, usually no evil cultivators dare to come to Yunming City to cause trouble.
In areas like Xingyue Academy, which is mostly populated by mortals or low-level cultivators, the indoor protection of each house is relatively average and can be easily broken by high-level cultivators.
The situation in every city in the world of cultivation is roughly the same.
Therefore, when they heard Jiang Xin say that there was a puppet guarding the front door, Qiao Ye and others did not think much about it.
They thought it was a puppet that supervised the students and prevented them from skipping classes. Its cultivation level was at most the Qi Refining Stage, so they directly called out to a sneaky-looking younger brother, "Go and lead the puppet away."
Just as the thief was about to respond, Jiang Xin stopped him: "He can't. He has just established his foundation. He needs to be at least in the Golden Core stage to lure the puppet away."
She glanced at these people and her eyes stopped on the square-faced man, feeling reluctant to leave.
"Looks like you're the only one who can go. Your cooking is pretty delicious."
This sounded like he would never be able to eat the food cooked by the square-faced man again, which made the square-faced man laugh: "What are you afraid of? Is that puppet at the Nascent Soul stage?"
[It's not the Nascent Soul stage, it's just the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, which is one small realm higher than your late Golden Core stage. 】
Jiang Xin didn't say this out loud. She patted the square-faced man's shoulder as if entrusting him with an important task, and told him earnestly, "You must protect your hands when you cook."
The square-faced man sneered and didn't take it seriously.
After giving the signal for the meeting with Qiao Ye and the others, he walked directly towards the front door of the academy.
It was not just because the joy of finding Qiao Xu overwhelmed his mind, making him forget why Jiang Xin said, "Only a Jindan stage cultivator can lure that puppet away."
It is because he has his own selfish motives that he is willing to do this job.
The man with a square face is named Guo Mingliang, and he is the son-in-law of the Qiao family.
In terms of seniority, he is Qiao Ye's uncle, but he is an uncle from a separate family.
The branch family is not welcomed by the main family of the Qiao family, so Guo Mingliang can only play the role of an aide in front of Qiao Ye and cannot regard himself as an elder.
But he has been in the Qiao family for many years and is very familiar with their situation.
The thing that Qiao Xu took away that year was the Qiao family's ancestral secret treasure.
Qiao Ye is determined to take control of the Qiao family's ancestral secret treasure and can't wait to find Qiao Xu to take it away. However, Guo Mingliang is thinking about something else.
The ancestors of the Qiao family left a family precept that no member of the Qiao family is allowed to touch this secret treasure, which means that this thing is very dangerous.
But with the secret treasure in front of them, there are always people who want to take risks, thinking that they are the destined person to obtain the secret treasure.
Over the years, people have been trying openly and secretly to obtain this secret treasure hidden in the forbidden area.
For this, the Qiao family sacrificed countless members, and all of them died miserably.
They thought that Qiao Xu, one of the experimental subjects, was also dead, but they unexpectedly learned not long ago that he was still alive.
So many members of the Qiao family with high levels of cultivation did not survive, but Qiao Xu, an ignorant six-year-old child, was able to walk out of the forbidden area safely. The Qiao family speculated that he was helped by this secret treasure.
No one knows how Qiao Xu managed to break out of the situation on his own with the help of this secret treasure, and how he can now unleash the power of the secret treasure.
Qiao Ye was eager to make a contribution, so he took these people on the road first, hoping to be the first to achieve credit.
But Guo Mingliang always remembered the danger of the secret treasure and was unwilling to be the first to take the risk.
Now that there is a ready-made reason for him to avoid danger, Guo Mingliang couldn't ask for more.
As long as we can find Qiao Xu's whereabouts, it will be a great achievement.
If Qiao Xu can be captured, Guo Mingliang will also be credited.
Even if the worst-case scenario occurred and Qiao Xu used the secret treasure to counterattack and bring danger, he would have the opportunity to retreat because he was far away.
Guo Mingliang walked towards the school gate happily, thinking that no one knew about his little plan.
Little did he know that Qiao Ye was sneering behind his back.
Does this old guy still think that he is the only smart person in the entire cultivation world?
Even he, a foreign son-in-law, knows the danger of the secret treasure. How could they, the native members of the Qiao family, not understand the danger?
Qiao Ye dared to bring these people out to find Qiao Xu, he must have something to rely on.
After Guo Mingliang walked some distance away, Qiao Ye led his men out.
He disliked Jiang Xin's short legs and slow walking speed, and signaled his men to hold Jiang Xin in a hug, but Jiang Xin rejected him with disgust: "Don't touch me, you stink."
The monk was very sad when she rejected him. He kept smelling his hands and complained to his companions: "Why do I smell bad? I take a bath once a year."
His companions, who originally did not dislike him much, also quietly distanced themselves from him after hearing this.
You only take a shower once a year, if you don’t stink, who will?
Because she disliked the smell on him, Jiang Xin ran very fast and soon caught up with Qiao Ye who was in the front.
Seeing how delicate this little girl looked, Qiao Ye had no choice but to condescend and hug her.
He took a bath every day, and added the special fragrance made by the Hehuan Sect every time he took a bath, so Jiang Xin didn't dislike him.
But the little guy didn't want to be held by him so obediently. He used his hands and feet to climb onto Qiao Ye, stepped on Qiao Ye's shoulders, and rode directly on his head.
Qiao Ye had never been wronged like this before, so he said coldly, "Get down."
Jiang Xin not only refused to get off, but also grabbed his ears with both hands, as if holding the steering wheel, directing Qiao Ye to go forward: "Little pig, run!"
"Get down here!" Qiao Ye yelled angrily, and stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Xin down, but he heard the little guy say slowly: "If you are mean to me, I won't take you to find Qiao Xu."
Qiao Ye paused, feeling indeed threatened by her.
After a moment, he came back to his senses and angrily took Jiang Xin off his neck: "Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you are like this. Do you believe that I can search your soul and turn you into a fool?"
Jiang Xin crossed her arms and imitated his tone, saying, "Don't think that you can do anything to me just because I'm like this. Do you believe that I can call the disciples of Tianshui Sect to beat you to death?"
She took out the jade identity card of a disciple of Tianshui Sect at the right time, which stopped Qiao Ye from saying the threatening words.
Shit, I hit a brick wall!
