Chapter 223: A Frustrated
Everyone gathered again in the lobby of Xinyuan Escort Agency.
Everyone's face looked extremely ugly.
Bai Yu and Jiuer stood in the middle of the hall, looking nervous and innocent. Their hands and faces were covered with small scars of varying sizes, and they looked disheveled. At first glance, they looked weak and pitiful.
Chief escort Gao Chong sat in the front seat on the right, one hand resting on the armrest of the chair, covering his face, speechless and choking.
For a moment there was an eerie silence in the hall.
After a long while, the head patriarch Miao Zheng finally spoke, still unable to suppress his anger, "I told you to break through a formation, and you just smashed it! Who taught you to break a formation like that?"
Bai Yu was startled by the sudden roar and hurriedly bowed, saying tremblingly, "Master, calm down! My sister and I were displaced before we entered the Qingshan Martial Arts School. After we were fortunate enough to enter, we devoted ourselves to martial arts training. We only knew some boxing and kicking skills, but we knew nothing about formations. When we entered the Nine Palace Formation, my sister and I were completely bewildered and terrified. We didn't know how to break the formation, and the formation was full of life-threatening traps. In this critical situation, my sister and I were only concerned with dodging and destroying the traps. We had no time to think about anything else, just wanting to survive..."
"If you're afraid of death, you can ask for help. The chief escort was right outside the door. If you shout, all the formations and mechanisms will stop!"
"But the boss said that only by breaking the formation can the past be forgiven. My sister and I didn't dare to ask for help or stop..."
"Shi Yu" became more and more nervous and frightened. His sister Jiuer pursed her lips tightly and trembled slightly all over, as if she was still frightened by the lingering fear when she recalled the danger in the formation.
Everyone: “…”
For a moment, I couldn't find the words to blame.
They all knew that Shi Yu and Jiuer didn't understand the formation.
That's why we asked them to break the formation and let them suffer inside.
Otherwise, how can it be called a punishment?
As a result, the brother and sister did suffer, and they were so angry that they almost lost their souls.
Although the Nine Palace Formation in the escort agency is not highly complicated, setting up the formation and various mechanisms still requires manpower and a considerable amount of money!
With the current result, they don’t know who to blame!
Blame myself for not letting the brother and sister break the formation?
Or should we blame the brother and sister for destroying the formation mechanism in order to save their lives?
It was so frustrating in the end!
The officials were speechless for a long time. Thinking of the messy scene inside the Jiugong Garden when the gate was opened, the souls that had just been pulled back were so angry that they were about to leave their bodies.
Gao Chong took his hand away from covering his face. He suddenly looked much more tired and said weakly, "Boss, since they have both come out of the Nine Palaces Formation safe and sound, we should send them off according to the rules."
The big boss lowered his eyes to look at him, and when their gazes met, they both felt a little more depressed.
The sooner you send him off, the better.
First, he fired flares, causing heavy losses to the escort company. After returning, he was not at peace and directly destroyed the trial mechanism. If he kept the two people there, who knows what would happen next.
Besides, apart from the two of them, the escort agency really couldn't find anyone better to hand in the task.
The eldest master waved his hands, even more helplessly, "Let's do it this way. You two have already passed the level. There is something I haven't told you before. Passing the level is also a test. Those who pass the test can be sent to Guiyi Pavilion to become official disciples. You will leave tomorrow."
Just think of it as sending away the plague god.
When Miao Qingyi learned the result, she was so angry that she grabbed her sword and rushed out. "They haven't done anything good since they came to the escort agency! Our family is also constantly suffering from bad luck. I think these two brothers and sisters are the jinx! I want to kill them!"
The maidservant hurriedly stopped her, "Young lady, you can't do that! The boss has already made the decision, and if the escort agency doesn't send a suitable new recruit this year, they will be punished! Young lady, please think twice! If you really annoy them, just give them a small punishment or a big warning, otherwise you won't be able to explain to the boss!"
Although Miao Qingyi is the eldest daughter of the escort agency, this is a matter of great importance to the agency, and her father will not tolerate her if she acts recklessly.
Knowing this, Miao Qingyi angrily threw away her sword, sneered and gritted her teeth, "Then I'll give them a small punishment and a big warning! I won't let them have it easy! Come on, follow me to the street!"
The master and servant walked out of the side door of the escort agency and went straight to the medicine shop in the city.
After buying the medicine I needed, I walked back and saw a fortune-telling stall at the entrance of the alley.
"Aiya, young lady, please stay." The old Taoist priest with a rat-like beard sitting behind the fortune-telling stall was holding a whisk on his arm. He squinted his triangular eyes and shook his head, his tone rising and falling. "I see that your forehead is black and your face is ominous. I am afraid that your luck will be bad in the near future. You may suffer unexpected disasters-"
Miao Qingyi turned around, kicked the fortune-telling stall, pointed at the old Taoist's nose and cursed, "You, a charlatan, dare to curse me? If you keep talking nonsense, I will break your old bones! Get out!"
The stall fell over, and the old Taoist priest was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, still saying earnestly, "Taoists are kind-hearted and help the world. As the saying goes, honest advice hurts the ear. Even if you don't listen, you shouldn't ruin someone's livelihood. Oh, forget it, forget it. If you don't listen to the old man's advice, you will suffer the consequences."
Miao Qingyi became even angrier upon hearing this. She was already in a bad mood and now this inexplicable stinky old Taoist came to make things worse for her. If there hadn't been passers-by around looking at her, she would have beaten up this stinky old Taoist.
"You stinky Taoist priest who spreads evil words to confuse people. It's beneath my dignity to argue with you!" She waved her sleeves and kicked down the small stall that the old man had just put up before leaving. Seeing the old Taoist priest crying out in pain, the evil spirit in her heart dissipated a little.
When they returned to the escort agency, Miao Qingyi handed the medicine bottle to the maid, "Mix this bottle of medicine powder into the dinner for Shi Yu and his sister! If you can't kill them, I will make them half dead, humph!"
The next morning, Gao Chong and others were waiting at the entrance of the escort agency, and a carriage was waiting to see them off.
Bai Yu and Tian Bao each carried a small package on their backs.
The two of them didn't bring much when they came, and they didn't bring anything extra when they left. They even returned the escort uniforms issued by the escort agency and wore the coarse cloth clothes they wore before entering the martial arts school.
After a year, the old clothes were a little short for them, but the two of them did not feel embarrassed about it and their expressions were as open and confident as usual.
Gao Chong looked at the two of them with mixed feelings. This brother and sister had not received any preferential treatment since they came to the escort agency.
"Let's go." he said.
The brother and sister nodded and got in the car.
Apart from Gao Chong, no one came to see them off. I don’t know if it was like this in the past, but Bai Yu and Tian Bao didn’t care.
The confrontation was destined from the beginning, so the less personal connections involved, the better.
After the carriage left, a maidservant's panicked cries could be heard from somewhere in the escort agency. "Boss, Boss, come quickly! Something's happened to the young lady! She suddenly vomited uncontrollably after breakfast this morning, and her whole body is convulsing. Her hands and feet... have developed numerous ulcers!"
Miao Qingyi, the eldest daughter of the escort agency, received a comment from an old fortune teller when she went out yesterday, and a conflict broke out between the two parties.
The next day something really happened.
Miao Zheng was filled with rage and personally led people to the alley entrance to arrest the man, but the alley was empty.
In the end, after searching the entire city, the old Taoist priest was still nowhere to be found.
