A few days later.
The sky was filled with lightning and thunder, and dark clouds covered the city.
In this almost wild area, Qixia Pass seemed isolated and sunk into darkness. Heavy rain was pouring down between heaven and earth, and a continuous rain curtain fell.
Inside Qixia Pass, opposite the premier food court, is an exquisite three-story attic.
By the window near the street, the handsome Gongxi Wenju sat upright, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand. Steam was rising from the cup, but he tilted his head and looked at the rain outside the window.
In other words, his eyes were staring at the food court opposite through the rain.
"Sir, we have been waiting here for three days. That person has not left the house in these three days. If we wait any longer, something bad might happen."
Beside Gongxi Wenju, an old man with gray hair on his temples asked softly.
Hearing this, Gongxi Wenju turned around and looked at the old man: "Why do you say that, Mr. Fang? Since these two villains haven't left, they must have some plans. Naturally, we have to wait."
"The food court is the alchemist's family business. Customers come and go every day, and we must not offend them. If that person doesn't come out, do we have to wait forever?"
Next to Mr. Fang, there was an old man who looked equally old, and he spoke with concern.
Take a look.
In addition to Gongxi Wen Ju, there are four such old men in this room.
"Four guests, what do you mean?" Gongxi Wenju frowned in confusion.
Elder Fang thought about it and decided to explain it to him: "There are only five Nascent Soul guests in your residence. You brought four of us here at once. We can still get by for two or three days, but if it takes longer..."
"That's right, the general is very thoughtful. If we delay any further, he will definitely notice."
"I'm afraid we'll be called back then."
"The General and his wife didn't agree with you coming in person to look for me. It's better not to let them know about this. Otherwise, you will inevitably be punished."
"I heard that the investigation of the villain's intentions is entirely the responsibility of Madam's beloved disciple. Why bother to personally inquire about it and take this risk..."
After hearing this, Gongxi Wenju finally understood what these four Nascent Soul guests meant.
My heart immediately sank, and I whispered, "Over the years, whether in cultivation or in the chores of the mansion, I have indeed been too lazy. To the point where Mother and you all think I have no ambition and am lazy."
"My mother didn't entrust this matter to me. Although she was worried about my safety, I also knew in my heart that she didn't think I could complete this task."
"Deep down, you all look down on me."
"I dare not." The four Yuanying guests clasped their fists and bowed together. They said they dared not, but their hearts were not shaken at all.
Gongxi Wenju's heart was as clear as a mirror. He smiled and said, "Bai Mian is the girl I have set my eyes on. No one can hurt her."
"I brought the four of you out of Feitian Mountain Mansion and set up a large formation here to protect her and to kill those two villains in one fell swoop."
"If this succeeds, Mother and Father will definitely look upon me with new eyes, and Bai Mian might also treat me differently..."
"Bai Mian once said...the two people were a man and a woman. The man's appearance and behavior were unknown, and the woman looked middle-aged..."
"The man never went out once, but the middle-aged woman went out every day, playing around the city and appearing frequently."
"I have a feeling they won't be sitting here for long..." Gong Xiwen Ju's eyes flashed with determination.
He also knew that it was not a long-term solution for the four Yuanying guests to be away for a long time, so he ordered them to return home every night, otherwise they would be discovered after a long time.
On this trip, he must have these four guests to preside over the battle, otherwise his plan would fail.
…
In the food court, in Xue Kong's room.
Honglian gently pushed open the window, and the damp and cold air blew towards her through the rain, lifting her hair. A cool feeling made her feel refreshed.
She smiled, turned around, looked at Xue Kong, who hadn't moved an inch in the past few days, and said softly, "I'm afraid that alchemist will be back today."
Xue Kong, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.
A flash of golden light flashed across his eyes and then disappeared.
He stood up and picked up an oil-paper umbrella: "Let's go."
Honglian followed Xue Kong to the lobby. Although it was raining heavily outside, there were still many diners and drinkers in the hall.
Xue Kong walked straight out of the house.
Honglian was about to follow, but on the way he glanced vaguely towards a corner in the southeast.
There was only a figure in white sitting at the square table.
The man was dressed in white, with his head slightly lowered. Not only was he wearing a hat on his head, but he was also wearing a white mask under the hat.
Honglian's eyes swept over the man, and then without stopping, she caught up with Xue Kong.
Wait for the two of them to go out.
The man in white then slowly raised his head, his eyes flickering beneath his mask as he muttered to himself, "These two went out together. It seems they think the time has come..."
"I will inform Master immediately."
The man in white is naturally Bai Mian.
She had been sitting in this food court for several days and had always seen Honglian going out frequently. Today was the first time she saw another person.
However, she didn't dare to look up just now.
He didn't even dare to release his spiritual consciousness.
Wanyan Cai guessed that these two were both Nascent Soul cultivators. With her Core Formation stage consciousness, she was afraid that as soon as she released it, she would be discovered by the two and alert their presence.
Therefore, I don’t know Xue Kong’s appearance and figure.
Outside the food court, under the eaves.
A child with a pink face sat on the ground, not afraid of the cold. He held a fat frog in one hand and a small kettle in the other, pouring water into the frog's mouth.
