【Chapter 122】IQ is enough
If he hadn't been bumped into by the female cultivator, Nangong Chenyu wouldn't have noticed her, let alone even looked at her.
She had sallow skin, a tall figure, was dressed in servant's clothes, and had her hair done in a simple bun, making it impossible to tell her exact age.
Anyone else would definitely not notice anything wrong with this female cultivator, but Nangong Chenyu had lived in the palace since he was a child and had dealt with many people with ulterior motives. He could tell at a glance that the female cultivator's appearance was a disguise.
Besides, those lively eyes didn't match her face at all.
Just at this moment.
A breeze blew by, and the smell of powder hit me in the face.
Nangong Chenyu subconsciously wanted to step back, but there were too many people around him. Not only was he unable to step back, but he was pushed closer to the female cultivator.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Ye Yishen helped him. Otherwise, if he got any closer to the female cultivator, he would definitely lose control and attack.
It all happened in a flash.
The female cultivator was stunned for two seconds by Nangong Chenyu's appearance. After coming to her senses, she apologized to Nangong Chenyu gracefully.
"Sir, I'm sorry. I bumped into you by accident."
The voice was clearly that of a young woman, clear as a silver bell, sweet yet firm, like dewdrops in the morning light, refreshing to the ears.
It doesn't match the appearance of a female cultivator at all.
The female cultivator obviously did not change her voice on purpose in order to attract Nangong Chenyu's attention. The look in her eyes when she looked at Nangong Chenyu was too familiar to Nangong Chenyu.
Ignoring the female cultivator, Nangong Chenyu walked past her with a cold face.
The female cultivator looked at Nangong Chenyu's receding back, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a gleam of determination flashed in her eyes.
Everyone was walking towards the outside of the martial arts arena, but the female cultivator stood in the middle of the road without moving. Everyone else avoided her, and Lu Yanghua, who was in a bad mood, suddenly reached out and pushed her away.
"You have no tact at all. You didn't even give way when you saw me coming."
The reason why Lu Yanghua dared to push the female cultivator so unscrupulously was because the female cultivator was wearing the clothes of a servant of the Lu family.
The female cultivator was pushed and staggered. Fortunately, a kind-hearted person helped her up, otherwise she would have fallen flat on her face without any preparation.
At this time, Lu Yanghua also saw the front of the female cultivator: "Why haven't I seen you in the mansion?"
"I--" Just after saying one word, the female cultivator suddenly remembered what she looked like now. At the same time, he also saw clearly the person who pushed him, so he pinched his throat and spoke.
"I am a third-rank servant in the Third Young Lady's courtyard."
The third young lady mentioned by the female cultivator is named Lu Yuejiao, and she is the legitimate daughter of the head of the Lu family. He has a good talent for cultivation and is very much loved by the head of the Lu family.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanghua snorted coldly and stopped making things difficult for the female cultivator.
The female cultivator was worried about being recognized by other members of the Lu family, so she turned around and walked out quickly.
-
When they were in a less crowded place, Ye Yisheng asked, "Ah Yu, is there something wrong with the female cultivator who just apologized to you?"
If there was no problem with the other party, Nangong Chenyu's attitude would not be so bad.
"Yeah." Nangong Chenyu nodded: "The other party is a young woman, who has put on makeup that makes her look older and hides her true appearance. She might be——"
Nangong Chenyu wanted to say "the protagonist in the storybook", but he opened his mouth but nothing came out. Obviously, he still couldn't tell anyone about the storybook.
Ye Yisheng was puzzled: "What could she be?"
Nangong Chenyu made up a story: "She might have bumped into me on purpose."
Ye Yisheng suddenly turned his head and glanced at Nangong Chenyu, and concluded: "She wants to attract your attention."
Nangong Chenyu nodded slightly.
"Qi Yucheng is not big, we should meet her again." Ye Yisheng said faintly, his tone sounding sour.
"Even if I meet her again, I will still ignore her." Nangong Chenyu approached Ye Yisheng and whispered in his ear: "You are the only one in my heart and eyes."
Being suddenly confessed to on the street, Ye Yishen subconsciously looked around. After making sure no one noticed them, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly changed the subject: "Where are we going next?"
Looking at his red earlobe, Nangong Chenyu couldn't help but quickly stretched out his hand to pinch it and said, "Let's go to Lingxi Teahouse."
"...It's already twilight hour, and you're still going to a teahouse?"
"Buy some snacks to eat back."
Lingxi Teahouse has a total of five floors. Those whose cultivation level is below the Jindan stage can only stay on the third floor and the two floors below. Those who can drink tea at Lingxi Teahouse are either monks or have mines at home.
They had agreed to pack up the food and eat it back at the inn, but after entering Lingxi Teahouse, Ye Yishen was dragged to the third floor by Nangong Chenyu.
Half of the third floor is private rooms and the other half is the lobby.
The two chose a seat by the window.
Seeing the familiar faces around him, Ye Yisheng also understood why Nangong Chenyu changed his mind at the last minute. Almost all of the people sitting in the lobby on the third floor are the younger generations of the four major families.
Unfortunately, Ye Zixuan and Ye Xuan are not among these people.
Next, the two of them drank tea and ate cakes while listening to the conversations of the people around them.
Time passes by every second.
Seeing that most of the others had left, but Nangong Chenyu had no intention of leaving, Ye Yisheng asked in confusion: "Ayu, when are we going back to the inn?"
"Don't be impatient, wait a moment."
"Who are you waiting for?"
“Here I come.”
Ye Yishen followed Nangong Chenyu's gaze and turned to look behind him. Then I saw two people who were both unexpected and expected.
These two people are Ye Mingze and Ye Xuan.
The two followed behind an old man, who followed the two Tianyi Sect elders in a humble manner.
After just one glance, Ye Yishen quickly looked away.
Guessing that they had already reached the first floor, Ye Yisheng leaned over to look at the street downstairs.
After leaving Lingxi Teahouse, the two groups parted ways. The two Tianyi Sect elders walked towards the Qi family on the right, while Ye Mingze and the other two walked towards the Ye family on the left.
Retracting his gaze, Ye Yisheng asked Nangong Chenyu: "What is the cultivation level of the old man that Ye Mingze and his son followed?"
Nangong Chenyu cast a soundproof barrier before answering, "Middle stage of Nascent Soul."
"What did Ye Mingze and the others talk about with the two elders of Tianyi Sect?"
"The private room has a formation barrier that can block spiritual perception."
"I always feel like they didn't discuss anything good."
"...Catch Ye Xuan and search his soul?"
"That's a good idea!" As soon as he said that, Ye Yisheng thought of the old man next to Ye Xuan: "He is not alone."
"There is no chance outside, what about entering the Ye family?"
Ye Yisheng was puzzled: "How do I get into the Ye family?"
Nangong Chenyu told the plan he had just thought of: "First, find a member of the Ye family to search their soul. See who in the Ye family disappeared or died eighteen years ago, and then you pretend to be his descendant."
Ye Yisheng: “…”
"Let's first infiltrate the Ye family and get to know the character of our grandparents. Then, we'll notify my father-in-law and let him decide whether to recognize them as relatives." Nangong Chenyu felt that the plan he had thought of was very good.
If your cultivation is not good enough, you can make up for it with IQ.
Ye Yisheng was a little tempted: "What if the Ye family doesn't accept me?"
Nangong Chenyu immediately thought of a solution: "Participate in the competition. As long as you can get good results in the competition, the Ye family will definitely accept you. Maybe you will even have a chance to talk to the head of the Ye family alone."
Ye Yisheng frowned and said, "It seems that I have to sign up before I can participate in the competition, right?"
Nangong Chenyu felt that signing up was no big deal: "Sign up on site tomorrow."
As long as you enter the Ye family, you will have a lot of room to develop. By then, they can do things secretly.
After the discussion, the two left Lingxi Teahouse.
Although it was already three quarters past midnight, there were still many people on the streets. Most of them are young people, walking in groups of three or four.
"Ayu, I always have a feeling that someone is watching me?" Ye Yishen looked around the street and didn't see anyone suspicious.
Nangong Chenyu put his hands behind his back and walked forward without looking away: "You are just a by-product. The person he is looking at is me."
"So you know who's been spying on us?"
"After I bumped into Ye Mingze last night, he left a spiritual mark on me. I guess he found someone to deal with me."
"Why didn't you tell me about this last night?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Nangong Chenyu was so focused on the storybook last night that he completely forgot that Ye Mingze had left a mark of his spiritual consciousness on him.
Ye Yisheng: "You didn't say that!"
"I will definitely not forget to tell you next time." Nangong Chenyu touched his nose guiltily: "I originally wanted to lead Ye Mingze out of Qiyu City today, but the plan could not keep up with the changes."
As they talked, the two of them unknowingly returned to the inn where they stayed last night.
As soon as they stepped onto the second floor, they saw a familiar figure enter the room next to them. The next moment, the door was closed from the inside.
The two looked at each other, and it was true that someone brought a pillow when they felt sleepy.
They were worried that someone was watching them secretly, and it would be difficult to trick a member of the Ye family back. They never expected that the Ye family would appear in front of them like this.
Nangong Chenyu said: "Go back to the room first."
The two returned to the room and closed the door. Nangong Chenyu said, "Let me see who's next door first."
The formation in the inn room is level three, which cannot stop the spiritual sense of the Nascent Soul cultivator from spying on it.
Nangong Chenyu released his spiritual sense, and soon everything in the next room appeared in his mind.
Two female cultivators who looked about the same age sat facing each other at the table. Both of them participated in the competition today, one of them was Ye Rong and the other was Miss Yu. As for what it was called, Nangong Chenyu didn’t pay attention.
Miss Yu took out a pair of butterfly hairpins from her bag. She put one on Ye Rong's head and the other on her own head.
The relationship between the two seems to be very good.
At this time, the waiter brought tea.
Miss Yu poured two cups of tea, one for her and one for Ye Rong.
After drinking two sips of tea, Ye Rong soon felt dizzy. She shook her head. The more she tried to stay awake, the more dizzy she became.
"No, the tea is poisonous."
"My head feels so dizzy." Miss Yu rubbed her temples with her hand. The next moment, she fell on the table, unconscious.
"Yu Rou, Yu Rou..." Ye Rong called out twice, and then she followed in the footsteps of Miss Yu.
Nangong Chenyu who saw this scene: "..."
What's going on?
Is this inn a shady shop?
Just when Nangong Chenyu was thinking this, Miss Yu, who had fainted, actually opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear, and she didn't look like she had been drugged at all.
