"Liyuan, Liyuan... are you listening to me?" Zhongli Qiu said to Guan Liyuan who was distracted beside him with dissatisfaction.
"Ah...ah? Listening!"
At this time, Guan Liyuan, Zhongli Qiu and Wei Yingying had already left the City Lord's Mansion and were on their way back to the South City Hotel.
It was already late, and there were not many people on the street.
"Then you also feel that there must be something wrong with that City Lord? Ruonan is so pitiful! Let's find a way to expose his hypocritical face, okay?" Zhongli Qiu said.
"Huh?"
Guan Liyuan thought to himself: Sure enough, you are the protagonist, right? You actually mastered the secret of manually upgrading C-level tasks to S-level! Why did we come to Eagle City for further study, but suddenly the task was upgraded to obtaining evidence of the City Lord's conspiracy?
"Wait a minute, maybe there is indeed something wrong in it, but it cannot be said that City Lord Jiang must have some conspiracy, right? And Qiu, can't you feel whether other people are sincere to you? Did you feel that City Lord Jiang had any ill will towards us before?" Guan Liyuan asked back.
"That's not the case, but there was no reason for him to have any ill will towards us at that time, right? This doesn't mean anything. Instead, the fact that seven people who knew about it disappeared and were killed one after another is the real suspicious point!" Zhongli Qiu said.
"That's true..." Guan Liyuan nodded.
Five of the seven people were professionals. The most recent one was a month ago, when three people from a team died in the suburbs. The other two professionals died in an abyss siege three years ago. The most suspicious one was two ordinary people, who were members of the garrison at that time. They were killed in the city, and one of them died before Jiang Ruonan could find him!
Moreover, Jiang Ruonan found the petals of the demonized rose at the place where he was killed, and it was suspected that the woman named "Mu Beibei" was responsible... Guan
Liyuan still remembered the abyss siege three years ago. He heard from Zhongli Qiu that it should be the first attack planned by the "King of Terror" in Paradise, which caused huge losses to Eagle City!
"Right! Can we go ask Teacher Han? Didn't Teacher Han say that she was in Xiongying City the year Ruonan was born?" Wei Yingying suddenly said.
"Oh no... Is Teacher Han in danger? Let's go back!" Zhong Liqiu said, and ran away seriously.
"Hey, Qiu, you... Really, why do you feel that she is excited?" Guan Liyuan scratched his head, but he had to follow... What if silly Qiu ran away?
However, Guan Liyuan didn't believe in silly Qiu's second-year speculation from the bottom of his heart!
How could it be such a coincidence that Teacher Han was attacked as soon as he arrived?
If the high-level professional mentor of Dulan City was killed in Xiongying City, it would cause a diplomatic incident.
What's more, Guan Liyuan didn't think that Teacher Han Mengli would really know anything important in Xiongying City seventeen years ago...
At that time, Han Mengli should have just become a mid-level professional not long ago. Even in Xiongying City, she shouldn't know anything too core, right?
Following Zhong Liqiu all the way back to the hotel, after confirming teacher Han Mengli's room at the front desk, Zhong Liqiu knocked on the door fiercely...
"Teacher Han, Teacher Han? How are you? Open the door!"
Hearing the "bang bang" knocking on the door, Guan Liyuan mourned for teacher Han Mengli for a moment. She should have gone to bed by this time, right?
As a result, before teacher Han Mengli opened the door, Dongfang Ying next to her opened the door first...
"You are so noisy! What's wrong?"
"Old Ying, have you seen teacher Han?" Zhong Liqiu asked.
"Huh? As for teacher Han, I saw her in the bar in the south of the city... What's the hurry?" Dongfang Ying asked back.
However, Zhong Liqiu did not answer him, but turned around and ran out again.
"Sorry, my silly Qiu has a brain boom." Guan Liyuan responded casually and followed.
Dongfang Ying, who was puzzled, was left alone and closed the door again to sleep.
Guan Liyuan and Wei Yingying followed Zhong Liqiu helplessly and ran towards the bar that Dongfang Ying mentioned...
"Hurry up, it's just around the corner!" Zhong Liqiu turned around and shouted.
"Qiu, don't be so anxious. Since we are in the bar... is there anyone who dares to attack Teacher Han on the street?" Guan Liyuan said helplessly from behind.
Just as Guan Liyuan finished speaking, a figure flew out from the corner in front, as if it had been hit by a huge impact. After landing, its feet slid for a distance...
Then several extremely thick rose stems covered with barbs, as if they had life, strangled the "figure" that had just flown back like a giant python!
"Han, Teacher Han!"
"Is this... a demonized rose?" Zhong
Liqiu and Wei Yingying exclaimed.
Guan Liyuan looked at this scene with a wonderful expression... The last time he was slapped in the face like this was during the pack animal incident!
"You really dare to do it... Mu Beibei!" Han Mengli seemed very angry.
"Haha, you haven't improved much either..." Mu Beibei, wearing a tight mesh leather jacket, chased after him while stepping on the twisted and squirming plant roots.
"Stop bragging... Sonic Blade!"
"Rose Array!"
Seven or eight colorless sound blades, each longer than a person, were released by Han Mengli from the magic array in front of her, and what greeted the sound blades were the piercings of countless rose stems!
"Tiger blood boiling!" Zhong Liqiu immediately used his overdraft skill.
Guan Liyuan didn't care about the burning feeling of being slapped in the face, nor did he care about why the people from the City Lord's Mansion dared to commit crimes in the street without concealing their identities. He directly pointed his ten fingers at Mu Beibei...
"Ten fingers piercing bullets!"
"Huh?" Han Mengli and Mu Beibei looked at Guan Liyuan and the other two in surprise at the same time.
Zhong Liqiu rushed over, but was tied up by the vines summoned by the opponent, and Guan Liyuan's bone bullet was blocked by the hard vine shield coiled into a shield shape...
"Zhong Liqiu? Guan Liyuan? Why are you here? If you want to go to the tavern, it's too early for you!" Han Mengli taught.
"Oh? This is your student? It's really good. The 'Beef Tendon Vine' can't even tie her up... The long-range attack here is also embedded in the 'Shield Armor Vine'. Few people among the beginners can do it!" Mu Beibei praised the two.
Guan Liyuan and Zhong Liqiu, who had just broken free, stared blankly at Han Mengli and Mu Beibei... How could these two people still look like they were fighting?
"Teacher Han... are you and this guy..." Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.
"Oh, you mean this guy in revealing clothes? It's nothing, just a friend of mine. Are you scared?" Han Mengli said embarrassedly.
"Tsk... pretending to be gentle in front of students." Mu Beibei muttered to the side.
At the same time, he sprinkled a few seeds on the ground, and immediately countless plant roots and stems twisting close to the ground were born.
"By the way, is it really okay for you to destroy the streets like this? If you are expelled, don't blame me." Han Mengli said.
“Don’t worry, just use some earthworm grass to smooth the ground! It’s late at night anyway, and no one will see it!”
Mu Beibei said as she glanced at the tavern not far away. Immediately, the other professionals who were watching the excitement pretended that they saw nothing...
“…” Guan Liyuan and the other two watched this scene speechlessly, and they all roared in their hearts: Don’t make such a misleading move at this time!
