Chapter 504 Who are you?
Shi Yuyan was like a fighting rooster, ready to leap out of its cage and fight to the death at any moment.
Wu Chi, whom he regarded as an adversary, was also in a bad mood. His cold gaze swept over the group and finally landed on Feng Tianyu.
"Who are you? What are you doing following us?"
"Ah, this..." The young Taoist priest and Ye Wanxi and the others looked at each other, somewhat embarrassed.
It wouldn't be appropriate to say at this point that we came for your locked-up girl, and that one of them is the rumored gigolo.
If that were the case, the young Taoist priest had no doubt that the young clan leader would immediately order these poisonous insects to devour Shi Yuyan first.
"Um, we are special envoys from the government. We have something we'd like to discuss with your clan chief. Is it convenient for us...?"
As soon as the young Taoist finished speaking, Wu Chi's gaze fell upon their clothing.
"You said you were special envoys?"
"yes……"
"According to procedure, you should first have someone notify my father and obtain his consent, and then both parties should agree on a time and place, so that our clan can send someone to receive him in person."
Wu Chi's expression suddenly darkened as he said this: "But recently, I have never heard my father mention any special envoys coming to our area. And you, not only secretly changed into our clothes, but also secretly infiltrated our return procession. It is clear that you have ulterior motives."
These words were immediately echoed by the others in their group: "That's right, that's right. If we hadn't been careful, these people would have infiltrated the village."
“They sneaked into our group like that; they’re obviously not good people. Tie them up.”
"Yes, let's tie them up first!"
Ye Wanxi's side only had five people at most, while the other side had dozens of people, plus these poisonous insects, so the difference in combat strength was undeniable.
The young Taoist priest and the Shi brothers turned pale. Just then, a clear flute melody suddenly came from above, and the poisonous insects that had been motionless suddenly became active and rushed towards them aggressively.
"Waaah, help!" Shi Yuyan jumped up and almost landed on his brother.
Ye Wanxi chuckled: "Weren't you just a moment ago so energetic, eager to fight to the death? Why are you chickening out now?"
"How can this be the same? Fighting is fighting, but he's clearly cheating, using hacks. Even if we're going to compete, it should be fair. Competing against him in something I'm not good at is not stupid."
Shi Lang laughed angrily: "What kind of time is this to still be joking around? You're so stupid."
He brought a lot of insecticide this time as instructed by Ye Wanxi, and has been carrying it with him with him for the past few days.
Seeing the poisonous insects swarming towards him, he had already pulled out several bottles of different brands of insecticide and sprayed them vigorously, but none of them were usable!
The young Taoist priest had also drawn his peach wood sword at some point, ready for battle. However, while this weapon was effective against evil spirits, it might not be effective against these poisonous creatures.
"Miss Ye, there are many poisonous insects guarding the outer perimeter, and most of them are highly venomous. Getting bitten by one could be very serious. Do you have any solutions?"
Ye Wanxi certainly had a way. When the poisonous insects approached, she took out a jade bottle from her storage ring.
The bottle contained many pills the size of mothballs. Excluding her and Feng Tianyu, she gave one to each of them.
"What is this? Is it medicine? Should I take it now?"
Ye Wanxi's lips twitched slightly: "If you're not afraid of dying, you can eat it."
Shi Yuyan was startled and almost dropped the pill: "It's not something to eat, then this..."
"Put it on your body to repel insects."
These pills were specially made for her by her senior sister Qi Yao in her previous life. At that time, she saw that Ye Wanxi was interested in her Gu worms and wanted to share them with her, but she was worried that her little darlings might hurt Ye Wanxi without knowing their own strength.
That's why she made this pill, to ensure that the poisonous insects wouldn't harm her.
Although it wasn't long afterward, Ye Wanxi became familiar with her senior sister's Gu, and these pills became useless.
But Ye Wanxi felt that this was a token of her senior sister's goodwill, so she put it into her storage ring. She never expected that it would come in handy after so long.
Sigh, I hope this pill from my senior sister has a slightly longer shelf life and is still effective.
As it turns out, the big shot is indeed a big shot; Senior Sister Ye Wanxi's pills not only hadn't expired, but were also incredibly effective.
As soon as Shi Yuyan and the others finished collecting them, the poisonous insects immediately stopped, some even trembling and retreating.
As time went on, more and more poisonous insects retreated, and the Miao people who were watching the spectacle began to realize that something was wrong.
"What's going on? Why are those insects retreating?"
"Did the young clan leader summon them back?"
"How is that possible? Did you just hear the flute? Only the Gu flute can summon these insects. The young clan leader didn't play the flute at all, so how could he have summoned them back?"
"What happened? Why did they all run away?"
Not only them, but even Shi Yuyan and the others were stunned by the scene before them. They glanced at the poisonous insects that had silently retreated, and then at the pills in their hands. They wished they could find a box to enshrine them right now.
They treat it like it's going to melt in their hands; it's a lifesaver!
The young Taoist priest thought further ahead. Staring at the pill, he wondered if he could take it with him when he returned, so that his master and Director Xiao could study it and perhaps find some unexpected surprises.
Wu Chi glanced at the pills in the hands of the three people, then looked at Ye Wanxi who had handed them out, his expression serious and wary: "Who exactly are you?"
Ye Wanxi's attention was on his hands at that moment.
It was a crystal-clear, emerald-green jade flute, but it was half the length of an ordinary flute, and a brand-new red ornament hung at the bottom of the flute.
Ye Wanxi felt a strange sense of familiarity upon seeing the flute. Instead of answering his question, she asked in return, "Where did you get this flute?"
Both sides had their own doubts, the atmosphere was tense and sullen, and a fight could break out at any moment.
Meanwhile, the mountain stronghold, hundreds of meters above, was also in turmoil.
Wu Chi's grandfather, who was also the former patriarch of their clan, had been depressed these past few days because of the matter between Tao Wan and her grandfather, and had been hiding in the back mountain, unwilling to come out.
For some reason, my heart was pounding uncontrollably that night.
Grandpa Wu was so restless that he couldn't sleep. In the middle of the night, he got up and paced back and forth in his room, smoking and unable to sit still.
Before he could figure it out, he heard hurried footsteps outside, followed by a knocking on the door.
Wu Chi's father, the current clan chief Wu Yan, shouted anxiously outside the door: "Dad, Dad, come out quickly, something has happened at the ancestral hall!"
"What?" Grandpa Wu's cigarette fell to the ground with a thud.
