For example, now, Xie Beiming saw Shen Qiqi, with wounds all over her body, and every wound was bleeding. Her right eye was stabbed by a sharp weapon, and her flesh and blood were blurred.
At this moment, Shen Qiqi in Xie Beiming's eyes was like a broken rag doll.
And the Shen Qiqi he saw now was the Shen Qiqi who was imprisoned in the mass grave by the Hundred Sects of Xuanmen in the previous life.
No wonder Xie Beiming’s expression suddenly changed.
Fortunately, Shen Qiqi told him the reason in time, so Xie Beiming didn't go crazy.
At this time, the person who had asked them to stop had already arrived.
It was different from what Xie Beiming saw. In that person's eyes, the people standing in front of them were just an ordinary-looking young man and woman. The woman had a face full of black pockmarks, while the man had thin eyebrows, long eyes, and a big nose.
The man looked at the man in the portrait in his hand, then looked at the man and woman standing in front of him, and shook his head in disappointment.
The men and women in the portraits were all stunningly beautiful and looked quite extraordinary, but the man and woman in front of him were so ordinary that they could almost be described as ugly.
Her figure looked good from behind, but I didn't expect her face to look so terrible from the front.
These two people have simply wasted their good figures.
Seeing that Shen Qiqi and Xie Beiming were not the people he was looking for, the man waved his hand impatiently and said, "Alright, alright, it's okay, you can go."
The city lord said that whoever can capture the two human monks in the portrait will be rewarded handsomely, even if they only provide clues.
He can't miss it!
The man hurried away with the portrait, continuing to scan the crowd with his sharp eyes.
After that person, the same situation happened several times, but under the effect of the illusion talisman, none of them could see the true appearance of Shen Qiqi and Xie Beiming.
Just as another person turned away in disappointment, Shen Qiqi stopped him.
She feigned disdain and said, "Uncle, I advise you to stop wasting time. Look at the two people in the portrait. The woman is so delicate and fragile that she could be blown apart by a gust of wind. And the man, his waist is so thin that he looks like a weakling who can't even carry anything. How can these two people look like masters?"
As Shen Qiqi spoke, she fixed her gaze on the portrait in the man's hand, narrowing her eyes in thought.
To be fair, the person who drew this picture was indeed an excellent painter, and he drew her and Xie Beiming almost exactly the same.
Including her and Xie Beiming's expressions, they are all painted vividly.
There are only two possibilities for being so familiar with her and Xie Beiming: first, the painter is someone they know; second, the person who described everything about them in detail to the painter is someone they know.
I just don't know which possibility it is.
At this moment, the uncle was also frowning and looking at the portrait in his hand. He seemed to be moved by Shen Qiqi's words and muttered to himself: "Don't say it, it's really like that. Although the two people in the portrait are good-looking, they don't look like they can fight well."
Shen Qiqi immediately responded, "Right? I said they don't look alike. Where did you get this portrait? Could it be that the artist drew the wrong person?"
She reminded him from the side, and then she stared at the uncle without blinking, to see his reaction.
Once we figure out the origin of this portrait and who created it, we will know who the second "Five Elders" is.
The uncle didn't realize he was being tricked. Without a second thought, he blurted out, "This portrait was taken from the City Lord's Mansion. I heard it was painted by the husband of the new Protector."
The new protector’s husband?
Now the new protector of Jiuyou City seems to be Shen Ning'er.
If it was Shen Ning'er, then it would not be surprising that the portrait could be so lifelike.
After all, Shen Ning'er had lived with her under the same roof for more than ten years, and she was so familiar with her that she even knew exactly where the birthmark was on her body.
It’s just that I didn’t expect that Shen Ning’er would get married. This is really surprising.
Thinking back to when they were in Yuzhou, Shen Ning'er pretended to be her to seduce Xie Beiming but failed, and was instead schemed by Xie Beiming, and ended up falling in love with a pig, Shen Qiqi clicked her tongue and thought to herself that she didn't know which man was so tolerant that he would dare to marry a woman like Shen Ning'er.
Seeing that Shen Qiqi didn't say anything, the uncle said, "No matter if it looks like it or not, let's look for it first. Although the man and woman in the painting look weak, what if they are really hiding their true strengths?"
Shen Qiqi originally wanted to inquire about the new guardian husband, but after hearing what the uncle said, she could only nod and say, "That's right, after all, you can't judge a person by his appearance."
The uncle said, "That's the logic!" He took out a dozen portraits from his pocket, pulled out one, and stuffed it into Shen Qiqi's pocket. "I see you have nothing to do, so why don't you look for it too? Maybe you'll be lucky enough to come across one, and it will be a fortune!"
The uncle is very enthusiastic.
Shen Qiqi could only accept it and thank him. She glanced at the stack of portraits in his hand and saw that they also depicted her and Xie Beiming. The corners of Shen Qiqi's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
There are so many portraits of her and Xie Beiming. It seems that Shen Ning'er has mobilized everyone in Jiuyou City to dig three feet deep to find her and Xie Beiming.
