Chapter 360: Preparing to Rescue People
Tao Zi stood there in a daze.
Zhou Qiandan was puzzled and said, "Going to such lengths just to destroy her throat? How bizarre is that?"
Lu Shaobai reasonably suspected: "Is it because he is afraid that she will say something she shouldn't say?"
Jin Tairan reminded him quietly, "Senior Brother Lu, Lian Qingzhou can write, and the poison didn't make her mute, it just made her voice unpleasant."
He choked and glanced at Jin Tairan dimly. He immediately lowered his head and remained silent, pretending that he had not said anything.
Tao Zi's tone suddenly softened, and she asked, "Tairan, have you caught those two people from the Punishment Hall?"
Jin Tairan was horrified. Could this be the tenderness before death?
Her tone was a little deeper: "Tai Ran?"
He reacted and said hurriedly: "He escaped and was not caught."
Lu Shaobai was even more shocked and asked, "How is this possible? They can't even catch him?"
He explained, "It's said that the poison is a chronic one, very mild, and will take three months to take effect. Furthermore, the effects will be delayed. By the time they're discovered, the two men will have already run away."
Lu Shaobai murmured, "Why does this Minglan Sect seem a bit stupid?"
Tao Zi's eyebrows softened a little, and she said, "Whether it's stupid or not is none of our business."
Zhou Qiandan still looked at Jin Tairan warily and said, "This kind of thing is embarrassing for the Minglan Sect. How did your friend know about it?"
Jin Tairan's mouth felt bitter as he explained, "The internal management of the Minglan Sect is a mess, especially the Punishment Hall. It used to be quite decent when Xing Li was in charge, but now it's been disrupted and rebuilt. I heard it's even more chaotic than when it was first established, and the news can't be concealed."
Hearing this answer, Tao Zi smiled and said, "No matter how chaotic it is, it has nothing to do with us. Let's continue practicing."
They all responded in unison: "Yes, Senior Sister."
She returned to the room and saw Cheng Wuchou sitting there, facing Cheng Anran. She was standing there obediently, but when she saw her come in, she immediately stood up straight, holding her head high and chest out: "Hello, great-aunt!"
Tao Zi almost couldn't take a step: "What did you call me?"
"Great aunt!"
She rubbed her forehead and said, "An Ran, you should just call me sister."
Cheng Anran hesitated and said, "But wouldn't this mess up the generations?"
Tao Zi said helplessly: "You call me great-aunt, and Xi Jing is my junior sister, so what should you call her?"
She immediately said, "It's a small matter, each one his own."
Cheng Wuchou looked at Tao Zi and asked, "Azi, don't you want your identity to be exposed?"
She said politely, "It has to do with the age issue."
He immediately nodded in understanding, looked at Cheng Anran, and said, "Anran, don't tell the clan yet. For now, call great-aunt sister."
"Okay, ancestor!"
Cheng Anran hesitated and wanted to speak, but seeing that Cheng Wuchou had no intention of leaving, she could only leave reluctantly.
Tao Zi saw her leaving and said with a smile, "An Ran looks like she wants to say something."
He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. I guess they'll ask this and that again."
She asked, "Where's my brother? Is there anything wrong?"
Cheng Wuchou poured a cup of tea and said, "I heard that you borrowed someone from the master."
"Yes."
He sighed, "Master treats you very well. Normally, when I want to borrow someone, Master rarely gives it to me. He usually tells me to borrow from the leader of Xujia Sect first, and then consider if I can't borrow from him."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I don't have a good relationship with the leader of Xujia Sect, so the gentleman just borrowed it."
"That's possible." Cheng Wuchou held the tea in his hand and asked, "Azi, brother, can I ask, what are you going to do?"
She answered directly: "Save people."
"Who to save?"
Tao Zi said gently, "Xing Zhan, my junior fellow apprentice, is also my trusted confidant who I trained as my own disciple."
Cheng Wuchou recalled for a moment and said, "I've heard of this person's name. He's often mentioned together with you."
"Yes, he works for me, and everyone knows it."
Cheng Wuchou nodded and said, "I'll go over and take a look when the time comes. By the way, the master's people will arrive in three days. Just in case, they will not go to Yisanmen, but stay in the small town not far away."
Tao Zi smiled slightly and said, "Excellent! We can start the operation in three days."
That night, she immediately contacted Liu Yue: Is everyone ready?
Liu Yue replied: Everything is ready. In addition, it has been confirmed that the person behind Xing He is Yan Wenxuan.
Tao Zi was not surprised by this reply. However, Yue Qingya had asked him to inquire about Wang Xu's news, but he didn't know whether there was any result.
She thought about it, and figured that Yue Qingya only slept lightly or even didn't sleep at night, so she simply went over and knocked on the door, but unexpectedly, it was Willow Branch who opened the door.
I forgot, this person hasn't left yet.
Willow glared at her, and she said, "Where's Master Yue? I have something to ask him."
He coughed, turned around and said, "Brother Yue, Fellow Daoist Tao wants to see you."
Yue Qingya came out immediately and asked, "Do you want to talk inside or outside?"
"Get out."
The two of them walked to a place far away from the courtyard. Tao Zi cast a soundproofing spell before saying, "Qingya, do you remember when I asked you to find out if Wangxu had any contact with the escapees from the Punishment Hall?"
Yue Qingya said helplessly: "I remember, but there is no news at the moment, and I can't find a suitable opportunity to inquire. Wang Xu is too sensitive, I can't speak for no reason."
"That's right, I was too hasty. By the way, what did Fellow Daoist Liu want to talk to you about?"
Hearing this question, his expression became serious and he said, "Brother Liu said he was attacked by someone unknown, suspected to be the Ming Lan Sect. He wants me and other friends to set up a trap to capture the person so that the Ming Lan Sect will suffer a loss."
Tao Zi immediately asked, "Any clues?"
Yue Qingya shook his head and said, "No, it's just intuition."
"intuition?"
He smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Liu said that he had offended the Ming Lan Sect before, and Xu Qianjia has the face of a villain, so he will definitely not let him go. Therefore, this matter can only be done by the Ming Lan Sect. Even if it is not found out this time, the Ming Lan Sect will definitely do it in the future. It's just a matter of time."
Tao Zi was a little amused when she heard this and said, "Your friend really despises the Minglan Sect."
"Well, he never liked Xu Qianjia's appearance, saying it looked fake."
She praised him, "You have good taste."
Yue Qingya continued, "You came to me to ask these two questions?"
"Originally, there are other things to do, but if you have something to do, just go ahead and do yours. I have enough manpower here."
He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and do my own thing. I was thinking of telling you tomorrow morning and leaving at noon, but now that I've said it, I'll leave in the morning. You still need to comfort Little Phoenix."
"Okay, be safe."
