Qiao Wanmian looked at the paper in her hand and said helplessly, "Yes, Arou was foolish and lost her life for nothing."
Master Wu Liao turned to Xiao Zijin and said, "Alas, then I will have to trouble you, Master Xiao and Benefactor Fang, to take my two disciples down into the tunnel again and bring up the body of that female benefactor." After all, it was his temple's cook who had killed her.
"No problem!" Fang Duobing patted his chest and readily agreed.
Even if Xiao Zijin didn't want to go down, she had no choice. Since Master Wule had spoken, she couldn't refuse. So Fang Duobing and Xiao Zijin led the people down into the tunnel to bring the corpse up.
Master Wuliao looked at the three people in front of him and said, "Benefactor Qiao, why don't you come to my meditation room for a while, have some tea and wait? Benefactor Li and Miss Li, please come along as well."
In the meditation room
Li Lianhua felt that something was off.
"So the abbot and Mr. Li were acquaintances before." Qiao Wanmian recognized Li Lianhua from the tone of Master Wule's voice.
Li Lianhua nodded and replied, "Yes."
"It doesn't matter whether we meet sooner or later, we'll meet again anywhere in life. What I fear is that when we meet again, we won't recognize each other." After Wu Liao said this, Li Lianhua finally understood that he was telling her to resolve his matter quickly.
But it's not the right time yet.
"What do you mean, Abbot? Could it be that we've met before, Mr. Li?" Qiao Wanmian looked at the person in front of her with a puzzled expression. Wearing a mask, she couldn't see anything, but he did look somewhat familiar.
"I have something to attend to, so I'll head out first," Li Lianxin said to them. Li Lianhua wanted to follow, but Li Lianxin pressed her down, so she had no choice but to sit still and watch them leave.
As soon as Li Lianxin left the meditation room, she transformed into a little fox. In this form, it wouldn't be surprising if she appeared at Pudu Temple, and it would make things much easier. Li Lianxin searched the entire vicinity of Pudu Temple and finally found Jingren hiding not far behind the temple.
Donning an invisibility cloak, Li Lianxin silently used a substitute card to replace the real Junior Master Sword with a fake one. Even if the guys from Baichuan Academy found Jingren, they would only get a fake one. After doing all this, Li Lianxin returned to her meditation room.
When they returned, only Li Lianhua remained in the meditation room. Qiao Wanmian and Master Wule were nowhere to be seen. However, Qiao Wanmian wouldn't encounter Jingren this time; she had specifically given him a dizzying card.
Completely lost, he just kept going around in circles. Even if Qiao Wanmian had incredible luck and found Jingren who was also going around in circles, he would still be going around in circles after he caught him and wouldn't be able to get out unless the card effect disappeared after 24 hours.
"Guess what I brought you?" Li Lianxin whispered to Li Lianhua as she approached him.
[You'd never guess, I've gotten my hands on your Junior Master Sword.]
Li Lianhua was startled. How did she manage to exchange the Young Master's Sword for Jingren's? Although he didn't know Jingren's martial arts skills, the person who could come up with such a meticulous plan must not be incompetent.
Li Lianhua, suppressing her worry, pretended not to know and asked, "What is it?"
"Clang! Clang! Clang!" Li Lianxin immediately took out the Junior Master Sword and handed it over, her arrogant expression saying, "Praise me! Praise me!"
"Thank you, but where did you get it from? Did you encounter any danger?" Li Lianhua asked a series of questions.
Li Lianxin shook her head, "Don't you know my strength? Jingren is just a nobody, not worth mentioning."
[They're still wandering around not far behind Pudu Temple, completely unable to find their way out. They're probably still wondering if they've been trapped in a ghost wall.]
Li Lianhua told Lianxin to put away the Junior Master's Sword, and Fang Duobing returned in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. With a smile on his face, he came in and said, "I'm telling you, we've found Jingren. He's been hiding in circles behind the Pudu Temple."
When he was caught, he looked like he'd seen a ghost. Well, at least my master's sword was found.
Jingren was captured by Shishui and Yang Yunchun. Fang Duobing encountered them on the way and heard Yang Yunchun talking about it. He had no idea that the Junior Master Sword in Jingren's hand was actually fake.
"As it was getting late, Master Ji said he wanted me to take you to Baichuan Courtyard to rest for the night. This is perfect, since you don't have any martial arts skills and it would be a bit of a hassle to go down the mountain in the dark. Besides, the fox spirit has already sneaked into the kitchen of Baichuan Courtyard."
Upon hearing that the vixen had already gone over there, Li Lianhua's face darkened instantly. He'd been wondering why he hadn't seen the vixen for so long; apparently, she'd gone to Baichuan Courtyard to freeload.
“Okay, it’s getting late anyway, and you’ll have to cook when we get back. It’s perfect that we can eat at Baichuan Courtyard for free.” Li Lianxin felt that this was a godsend. It was quite a journey from Pudu Temple to Baichuan Courtyard, and she didn’t even know where they all lived in Baichuan Courtyard.
Fang Duobing immediately got up and led them to Baichuan Academy. By the time they arrived, it was almost dark. Along the way, Li Lianhua and Li Lianxin were thinking about how to get revenge.
【Xiao Kou, do you think if I feed someone Li Lianhua's blood, will they get the Jade Tea Poison?】 The main problem is that this poison is the most potent in the world. She was thinking of using the same method against them, but where could she find the Jade Tea Poison in such a short time?
【No, you're overthinking it. If this could be transmitted directly through blood, as long as Li Lianhua harbored the desire to destroy the world, simply taking his own blood out and forcibly feeding it to her would completely destroy everything, wouldn't it?】
[That makes sense.] How could she not have thought that if Li Lianhua went berserk, it would be like a biological weapon?
He... has no such thoughts now, and he never will.
Hey! Since you're free now, go find me the poison of the green tea.
[And what do you mean if there really is such a thing as Jade Tea Poison? What if I poisoned all those ungrateful wretches in Baichuan Academy with Jade Tea Poison? What do you think of that idea?]
"Good idea, you're ruthless. I'll go look for it for you." After saying this, Xiao Kou sneaked away.
