Chapter 403: Remains of the Zhou General (15)
The first group of people who went over to wait were Li Xiu and Yue Qingya.
They waited until evening before returning, their expressions grave.
Tao Zi asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Xiu said with a sullen face, "Another group of people came in. Before I could even warn them, they started discussing. One of them barely escaped using the teleportation talisman, and the rest were gone."
She frowned and said, "Judging from your expressions, there must be something else."
Yue Qingya sat down on a chair, poured himself a glass of water, and then said, "The strength of those ghosts during the day is equivalent to their strongest strength at night."
The flower monk was shocked and said, "No way?"
He nodded and said, "Li Xiu and I observed it for a long time before we could confirm it."
Tao Zi lowered her eyes and thought for a long time before saying, "Perhaps this is because the rules are stricter during the day."
Wang Xu stood up and walked to the window, saying, "I don't know when those people will arrive. If more people come, we will have more protection here."
Li Xiu sighed and said, "It's a pity that those people died, otherwise we could have more assistants."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "What's so regretful? If you act so recklessly, you'll become a burden even if you survive."
Hearing this, he paused, looked around, and found that except for Hua Seng who sighed slightly, everyone else, including Yue Qingya, was particularly calm about this.
Yue Qingya noticed his gaze and said, "We can't protect ourselves now. Even if those who come here don't have the strength, they must be smart. Otherwise, not only will they be unable to protect them, but they will also be dragged down."
Almost the same meaning sounded helpless and understandable when spoken by Yue Qingya, but sounded a little bit cold and ruthless when spoken by Tao Zi.
Li Xiu was silent for a moment, thinking about how to get Tao Zi to learn something, but after thinking about it, she felt that it might not be possible, because that's probably how these two people are in their hearts.
Yue Qingya added: "Even so, you still have to go and see it tomorrow. Your junior brothers and sisters may be here soon."
Wang Xu turned around and asked doubtfully, "Does Yisan Sect have so many vacancies?"
Tao Zi remained silent, and he said, "Sorry, I spoke too much."
She smiled and said, "No problem, but it seems like there are a lot of places for the Sword Sect?"
"It's a lot, but most of it was distributed to the sects below."
Everyone knew that this "most" should refer to the quota taken from the Minglan Sect.
Tao Zi jokingly said, "I really regret that. I didn't set up the Yisan Sect within the Sword Sect's sphere of influence. I lost several spots in vain."
Everyone tried to change the subject with this remark. Of course, no one took it seriously, except the Flower Monk.
The sky gradually darkened. When Tao Zi closed her eyes to rest, someone else came to the inn.
Someone came up the stairs, and Tao Zi heard a familiar voice: "I wonder if Senior Sister has arrived."
It’s Xijing!
Tao Zi immediately sat up, opened the door and looked out, just facing Xi Jing and the others.
Xi Jing cheered, her happiness visibly evident. Although Zhao Xue didn't show it so obviously, it seemed that he was much more relaxed.
Li Xiu also heard the noise and stuck her head out. Just as she was about to say hello, she saw Shao Hua Jushi on the side and her expression froze.
Shaohua Jushi glanced at him and said with a smile, "Why, little guy, are you not happy to see me?"
Who is the little guy? Li Xiu felt goose bumps all over her body when she heard this name.
Tao Zi looked at Shao Hua and thanked him sincerely: "Senior Shao Hua, thank you for your help."
It’s easy to understand that without Shaohua, Xijing and the others might not have been able to arrive here safely.
Mr. Shaohua raised his eyebrows, not knowing why she was suddenly so polite and even called her senior, until Wangxu's figure appeared not far away.
Wang Xu stood there, bowed politely and said, "Junior greets the layman."
Shao Hua remained polite to the future leader of the Sword Sect, saying, "Young Master Wang, you are too polite."
Tao Zi glanced at the people present. There were seven vacancies for Yisan Sect, and only Lu Shaobai was missing.
However, she was more confident in Lu Shaobai. After all, in terms of personal experience and ability, he was much better than Xi Jing and the others.
Shao Hua suddenly asked, "By the way, what are your roles?"
Before Tao Zi could speak, Zhao Xue suddenly said, "Senior Shaohua and I are mother and son, and Xijing is General Zhou."
Mr. Shaohua glanced at him, he pursed his lips and quietly took a step towards Tao Zi.
Cheng Wuchou smiled and said, "I am General Zhou, and A Zi and Li Xiu are the mother and son."
She raised her eyebrows and said, "How do I know you're not talking nonsense? How about this, you use Tao Zi's life as collateral. If it's nonsense, she will give her life to me."
Li Xiu shuddered. This Shaohua layman really knew how to pick people.
Cheng Wuchou's smile was still gentle, even gentler than before, and he said: "Senior Shaohua, some things are better left unsaid."
She didn't take it seriously at all.
Tao Zi finally found an opportunity to speak: "Senior Shaohua, is that the Ghost Tiger Talisman in your hand, right?"
Shaohua glanced at her and said, "Okay, it seems you are the same. I'm going to rest now."
She entered her room and closed the door, and the smile between Cheng Wuchou's eyebrows faded.
Wang Xu frowned and asked, "All three General Zhous have Ghost Tiger Talismans?"
Cheng Wuchou nodded nonchalantly, and Hua Seng also responded, "Yes."
He looked at Tao Zi and said firmly: "That's a sword in your hand."
Tao Zi said it more clearly: "It's General Zhou's sword."
While everyone was thinking, Xi Jing whispered, "Senior Sister, I'm sleepy."
She patted Xi Jing's head and said to them, "It's not safe at night. Go and get some rest now."
The two nodded in unison and walked towards another unoccupied room.
Wang Xu stood there holding the sword, whispering, "Will we need to cooperate in the end?"
Tao Zi laughed and said, "Cooperation is fine, but the real worry is that only one person is qualified to kill General Zhou."
He was silent.
Everyone turned and went into their own room.
Cheng Wuchou used a sound-isolating sound as soon as he entered. Without even a hint of a smile on his face, he said, "This Shaohua monk is very moody. I'm afraid it's not easy to keep him here."
Seeing that he had murderous intentions, Tao Zi thought of Qiu Huanhuan and felt a headache. She said, "We can't kill her, at least not now."
"it works?"
She said helplessly, "More or less. The main reason is that her nephew is my good friend and I can't kill him."
His frown deepened, and he said, "What a mess this is."
Tao Zi's head hurt even more, and she said, "Shaohua is just like this, you'll just get used to it."
Seeing her like this, Cheng Wuchou changed the subject: "If you must choose one person to kill General Zhou, then for the sake of opportunity, there must be a contest."
"It's fine if it's a competition, but I'm afraid it will be a massacre. That would be exciting."
