Chapter 249 Taking the Initiative
Before leaving, Qiu Xuanhuan hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Qi Ran, she is my aunt after all, and she has saved me many times."
Tao Zi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She knew what he meant and said, "I understand. But why do you think I can kill a cultivator in the Out-of-Body Stage?"
He silently looked up at the sky, and amidst Yue Qingya's laughter, he uttered, "Anyway, she promised me not to touch you, so I won't touch you. Don't touch her either. Just pretend she doesn't exist."
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Watching his departing figure, Yue Qingya whispered, "Can he keep it a secret?"
"It should be possible. He doesn't talk much."
He hesitated and said, "But his acting skills are not very good, and the head of the Spring and Autumn Sect is quite sensitive."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "He is very aware of his shortcomings and will find a way to solve them."
Li Xiu hesitated and said, "Is that it? You won't let him help? After all, Chunqiu Sect is a big sect."
She walked back holding the little fox: "He can't represent the Spring and Autumn Sect. What's more, there may be people watching him."
Yue Qingya replied affirmatively: "Absolutely."
When they returned to the inn, she saw the teahouse waiter wandering outside the inn.
When the waiter saw her, his eyes lit up and he came over and said, "Miss, we're finally looking for you."
"What's wrong?"
He took out a beautiful jade pendant and said, "This is something I left in the teahouse. I figured I couldn't take the girl's reward for nothing, so I gave it to you."
Tao Zi saw that this was the jade pendant Liu Yue had worn before, and took it and said, "Thank you very much."
"No, it's my job."
The waiter turned and left.
Li Xiu thought about it and felt that something was wrong, but she didn't say it out loud.
Tao Zi changed into a fresh set of clothes and sat on a chair holding the little fox.
Yue Qingya frowned and said, "Many people on the road saw the little fox, and their eyes seemed a little strange."
She sneered and said, "He's probably a lackey from the Ming Lan Sect."
Li Xiu frantically took out the soundproofing note and said nervously, "Boss, can you please let me know next time you discuss this?"
"what you up to?"
She stroked the little fox and said, "There are still more than two years until the sect competition, which is enough time for us to do a lot of things."
Li Xiu asked cautiously, "For example?"
"How many strongholds?"
He turned to ask Yue Qingya beside him, "Is this what I understood?"
Yue Qingya nodded and smiled: "It should be."
Li Xiu thought for a moment, then said, "I can't play forward. The most I can do is make some healing medicine."
Tao Zi nodded and said, "Okay, just hold the little fox and watch from the side."
Yue Qingya asked: "Why do you suddenly want to do this?"
She lowered her eyes and said, "I suspect Qinglan was responsible for my fate. Add to that the matter of the alien race, it's only a matter of time before we get into trouble. Why not take advantage of this time to cause trouble for the Minglan Sect?"
Li Xiu said: "Good idea, let's start with the Minglan Sect's steward hall?"
She shook her head and denied it. "Don't touch them for now. Most of them are mortals. Killing them wouldn't even be a minor injury to the Minglan Sect. If we have to attack, we should attack the strongholds built by those disciples."
"But you know the details of those strongholds..." Li Xiu remembered her previous identity halfway through her words and kept silent.
Yue Qingya asked, "Is there any in Chuncheng?"
Tao Zi smiled slightly and said, “There is an inn next door, and there is a passage inside.”
"When are you going?"
She said with a smile: "Murder and arson must of course be carried out in the dark."
Of course, she wasn't the only one who wanted to kill and burn people in the dark.
That night, someone sneaked into the inn, and Tao Zi heard someone whisper, "Are you sure it's them?"
"I'm not sure, but the message is that it's better to kill someone by mistake, since no one will know who did it anyway."
She smiled gently, and as the two men entered the room, she wiped their throats. Li Xiu flashed out, supported them, and gently put them down.
It’s a pity that these two people lost their lives without even seeing the person who killed them.
Yue Qingya used corpse-dissolving water to dispose of the two bodies, and the three people jumped out of the window.
Li Xiu held the little fox cautiously. Yue Qingya said in a voice transmission, "Wait for us in the tree outside the inn."
He nodded.
Tao Zi and the other person sneaked into the inn. She skillfully turned the vase in the lobby, and a passage appeared silently.
The two walked in.
At the end of the passage is an underground "playground" where there is laughter and joy, and many women in transparent clothes are walking around laughing.
Yue Qingya paused for a moment and said in a voice transmission, "Is this what the Minglan Sect's stronghold looks like?"
Tao Zi made a gesture to indicate that she was also surprised.
Hearing the faint sound of footsteps, she used the invisibility technique to hide in the shadows, while Yue Qingya became invisible on the spot.
People passing by were talking about it: "Why haven't those two come yet?"
"Who knows? Maybe he went out to get drunk."
He was still worried about his companions: "Nothing will happen, right?"
"The woman holding the fox has weak spiritual energy and is easy to deal with. The other two aren't in the same room with her, so there's nothing to worry about."
The two men drifted further and further apart.
Tao Zi slipped silently into the innermost room, where a familiar monk was lying.
She raised her eyebrows, quite surprised. This man was a cultivator in the Kaiguang period, and he had come to join the Minglan Sect on his own.
Because he was greedy for pleasure, indulged in licentiousness, and did not do things properly, she had long ignored his existence. She did not expect that Xu Qianjia would actually send him to an important city like Chuncheng to do work. It was really... wonderful.
“Who’s there!”
The monk opened his eyes and stood up, but a dagger had already fallen on his throat, cutting off his life.
She looked at him, thought for a moment, and reached out her hand. The marks of the slashed finger bones wiped out the remaining traces of the dagger.
Yue Qingya's voice rang out: "Are you trying to divert the blame?"
"Instead of running away all the time, it is better to use these traces to tell them what to do next." Tao Zi turned and walked out.
He asked, "Let those women go? After all, they are innocent, and there is no need to kill them."
Tao Zi smiled brightly: "Don't worry about it, I know who to kill."
To start over again, she needs fame, or rather, those who escaped from the torture hall need fame.
Not long after, a scream came from an inn, echoing throughout half the city.
Tao Zi happened to come out and started a fire.
While the inn was bustling and the guests were running out, they quietly left the city.
Li Xiu touched the little fox's head and asked in a low voice, "Kill them all?"
"Some people stayed."
He said firmly: "Mortal."
“Not entirely.”
Tao Zi was laughing there, and Li Xiu shivered with laughter.
All the people from other peaks died, leaving only the main peak and the disciples on good terms with the main peak alive. This was such a blatant conspiracy to sow discord, and so suitable for those peak masters with ulterior motives to stir up trouble!
Xu Qianjia, it's time for you to make some fun.
