Shen Qiqi took out a talisman and slapped it on the Fifth Elder's face.
Her action stunned all the elders.
The Great Elder looked at the shining talisman on the Fifth Elder's forehead and asked in confusion, "Qiqi, what are you doing...?"
Shen Qiqi explained, "Don't worry, Great Elder. I used a sleeping talisman on the Fifth Elder. The Fifth Elder has been working so hard. I was worried that he would be worried about the people of Yuzhou while he was unconscious and wouldn't be able to rest peacefully, so I used the sleeping talisman on him."
After Shen Qiqi finished speaking, she looked at the Fifth Elder, whose eyes were closed, with a worried look on her face.
It was true that she had used a sleeping talisman on the fifth elder, but it was a shoddy version of the sleeping talisman: it was the body that fell asleep, but not the consciousness.
In other words, the Fifth Elder is now unable to move his body, but his consciousness is extremely clear.
As expected, before Shen Qiqi finished speaking, a sharp maliciousness rushed towards her like a tide again, and the bud of the fire lotus bloomed again.
This is the third flower bud that the Fifth Elder has forced to bloom on his own.
Shen Qiqi accepted it all and let Huo Lian eat.
She is now in the middle stage of the Spirit Emperor cultivation, and can absorb more power from the Fire Lotus to enhance her own strength. After all, Shen Ning'er is now hiding in Yuzhou City, and behind Shen Ning'er is the great monster Jiuying.
Within the range that her body could bear, she also wanted to absorb more of the power of the fire lotus for her own use.
Right now, we have the ready-made nutrients provided by the Fifth Elder, so why not use them?
The Fifth Elder, who was being treated as a human-shaped nutrient bag, was still completely unaware of it. He closed his eyes and cursed Shen Qiqi over and over again in his heart, feeding Huo Lian with a smile on his face.
Here, the Great Elder was very pleased to see Shen Qiqi looking very concerned about the Fifth Elder. He secretly thought that the child had grown up, become sensible, and knew how to care for the elders.
He nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll send the Fifth Elder back first... Second Elder, you guys stay and help Qiqi deal with the rest."
The second elder and several other elders responded "yes" in unison.
After the Great Elder and the Fifth Elder left, the Fire Lotus in Shen Qiqi's sea of consciousness stopped eating.
Shen Qiqi secretly clicked her tongue.
She observed the fire lotus in her sea of consciousness.
In just a short while, the Fifth Elder provided the nutrients needed for the four buds of her fire lotus.
It seems that the fifth elder really hates her to the extreme.
As for the reason...
Presumably, the Fifth Elder had set his sights on the position of the Patriarch, and planned to take advantage of the fact that his father was seriously injured and unconscious, and that Yuzhou was in great chaos, to seize the opportunity to seize the position of Patriarch and become the master of Yuzhou City.
Unfortunately, she came back halfway and ruined the Fifth Elder's plan to seize the throne, so the other party hated her so much.
The guess in her heart was confirmed, and Shen Qiqi couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.
In the previous life, after her father's death, the position of the head of the Shen family was inherited by the Fifth Elder. Shen Qiqi also secretly helped him kill many evil spirits because she felt that it was her fault that caused her father's death. As a result, the Fifth Elder, who was a gentle, peaceful and indifferent person to fame and fortune, had to step forward to take charge of the family's affairs.
Now it seems that the Fifth Elder was not forced to take the position of the head of the family, but had longed for this position in his heart. Even his father's death was probably related to this Fifth Elder.
Shen Qiqi has always been very puzzled. When Shen Mingyu died, she had been expelled from the clan for several years. During those years when she was expelled from the clan, Shen Mingyu had been fine. His cultivation had even broken through a small realm and he was just one step away from breaking through to the Spiritual Sect realm.
However, suddenly one day, without any warning, the tragic news came that Shen Mingyu had died due to a burst of meridians throughout his body.
The reason was that Shen Mingyu suddenly received the news that Shen Qiqi was doing evil outside the night before. As a father, Shen Mingyu was ashamed of having such a daughter, so much so that he went astray while practicing that night and suffered misfortune.
At that time, Shen Qiqi felt that it was unlikely. She had been kicked out of the family for several years at that time. Her father's disappointment in her had long reached a stage of fatigue, and even entered a stage of numbness. How could he be angry to death because of a piece of news from her?
Besides, she didn't do anything big and evil during that period, not even a small one. The most infuriating thing she did was probably that because she was depressed, she increased the frequency of robbing Xie Beiming's cave. Not only did she eat and steal, but she also caught Xie Beiming and beat him up before leaving.
It can be said that during that period, Xie Beiming was bullied particularly badly by her. If anyone was really angry, it should be Xie Beiming's father Xie Ruzhe who should be even more angry. It didn't make sense that Xie Ruzhe was alive and well while Shen Mingyu was angered to death by her.
Now that I think about it carefully, the Fifth Elder must have been responsible for my father's death.
Fortunately, in this life, she discovered the evil ambitions beneath the mask of this good man in time.
He appears harmless on the surface, but is cruel and ruthless inside, ready to kill.
The Fifth Elder is very similar to Shen Ning'er in this regard, and the two can even be said to be of the same kind.
Thinking of Shen Ning'er, Shen Qiqi quickly restrained her thoughts.
Although her sleeping talisman was a shoddy version, it could still make the fifth elder sleep for three days.
The Fifth Elder couldn’t do anything small during these three days, so she had to quickly pull Shen Ning’er out.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiqi turned around and ordered the city guards, "From now on, anyone leaving the city must be carefully interrogated, especially those with disfigured appearances, thin builds, or those wearing black robes covering their heads and faces. If you encounter them, you must find a way to detain them and quickly inform me. I will rush over to deal with them immediately."
She wanted to block Shen Ning'er in Yuzhou City and get rid of her.
After instructing the city guards to guard the city gates, Shen Qiqi turned to the elders and said, "Thank you for your help in settling the people who have come to the city for refuge. I still have things to deal with. I will go back later and tell you about it."
The people gathered at the city gate, so it was not appropriate to tell the story of Shen Ning'er at this time, so as not to cause panic among the people and distrust of their Shen family.
Seeing Shen Qiqi's serious expression, several elders, although they didn't know what she was going to do, could guess that what she was doing might not be publicized, so they didn't ask any more questions and went to accommodate the people who had fled into the city as she said.
Shen Qiqi took Xie Beiming and the others to walk around the city, while always paying attention to the reaction of the fire lotus in the sea of consciousness.
Shen Ning'er hated her so much that once she saw her, even if she didn't attack her in the street, she would definitely not be able to control the resentment towards her in her heart.
The Fire Lotus has a strong sense of malice. As long as Shen Ning'er releases even a little bit of resentment towards her, the Fire Lotus will be able to sense it immediately. Then she can find Shen Ning'er's hiding place under the guidance of the Fire Lotus.
This was the method Shen Qiqi had just come up with after being inspired by the Fifth Elder.
Unfortunately, although Huo Lian’s perception of malicious intent is strong, its range is limited, otherwise she wouldn’t have to search back and forth in the city.
But to Shen Qiqi's disappointment, even after she had walked through several streets, the fire lotus in her sea of consciousness was still floating quietly, without any reaction.
Could it be that Shen Ning'er had already taken advantage of the chaos to leave the city?
