Chapter 30
The aroma of tea was thick, and Lin Xubai waved his folding fan, watching the confrontation between Jiang Wan and Gong Mei in the water mirror.
On the surface, this was Jiang Wan volunteering to join the game to lure out the person behind the scenes, but in fact, it was a game started by Lin Xubai using the person behind the scenes to test Jiang Wan's identity.
The purpose was to test Jiang Wan's origins. If she could break out alive, it would be irrefutable evidence that she had a serious problem. If she didn't survive...
Lin Xubai lowered his eyes and chuckled, his cold fingertips stroking the warm rim of the cup. From the moment he pushed Jiang Wan to Yongshu Township, he was certain that there would be no second possibility.
In this game, Jiang Wan apparently had two options, but in reality, only Lin Xubai himself knew that he only left one option.
There was a gentle smile in Lin Xubai's eyes, and he looked patient as if he was waiting for his prey to fall into the net.
The moment Jiang Wan was covered in thick blood, the water mirror made of ice and frost shattered instantly, and her figure disappeared completely like the water mirror.
This sudden accident piqued Lin Xubai's interest.
Isolating and sealing off the space is a good method.
"Not bad, quite interesting." The unheard murmur contained a hint of approval.
Lin Xubai raised his eyebrows and chuckled, then leisurely poured himself another cup of tea. He had no worries about any unexpected events happening in his plan, nor did he seem to care about the fact that Jiang Wan was suspected of being in danger.
Rather, it is better this way.
Lin Xubai recalled Jiang Wan's words and actions over the past few days. At the beginning, she seemed like a mortal who had never practiced cultivation. Her sword energy was chaotic and although she had talent, she didn't know how to fight against others.
Later, under his deliberate guidance, he accidentally got into a fight. He didn't know how to hide when the fight started, but just rushed forward blindly. When fighting with others, he even forgot the most basic body protection skills.
Lin Xubai made many guesses about Jiang Wan's origins. Every time he established a possibility, Jiang Wan could always break his guess from another angle.
After so many times, Lin Xubai simply stopped guessing and found it a lot of fun. At the same time, he also saw a lot of things about Jiang Wan.
Not only was she unfamiliar with cultivation, she was also unfamiliar with various teleportation talismans, spirit boats, and spiritual weapons.
It was as if she lived in a world completely different from the world of immortal cultivation, and that world was neither like the mortal world without magic, nor like the chaotic and violent demon world where the law of the jungle prevailed.
Gradually, Lin Xubai, who was enjoying it, discovered that Jiang Wan was not only unfamiliar with the world of immortal cultivation, but also unfamiliar with the entire Beiyan Continent.
"Sir," Ishikawa Nishi shuddered as he bowed, reporting respectfully, "I've already passed the message to those people from the Qiyao Sect as you instructed."
He didn't hear what Lin Xubai said, nor did he understand why the other young swordsman was called away and never came back, while the boss was still leisurely drinking tea.
Ishikawa Nishi only knew that he had to do whatever the boss told him to do.
As for whether something would happen to the swordsman, Ishikawa Nishi had never considered this possibility. No matter what happened, it must be within the boss's plan.
only……
Ishikawa Nishi hesitated for a long time, with a conflicted look on his face, and finally made up his mind and spoke tremblingly.
"Sir, please forgive me for being so presumptuous. My two brothers were captured by the female demon from the Tianyu Palace. I know you will not take them seriously. I am just worried. You also know my true identity. I am scared and terrified, sir!"
Ishikawa Nishi didn't dare to ask the boss to help him save people. Didn't he see that the boss didn't care about his undercover disciples? How could he help a little demon like him?
Although he was very scared and knew that speaking up would only offend the boss and make him unhappy, Ishikawa Nishi's concern for his two brothers prevailed.
He finally spoke.
Ishikawa Nishi's words were tactful. He didn't want to ask the boss to save people, but to seek peace of mind. He wanted the boss to know that he was anxious now. If there was nothing wrong, he would go and save people himself.
The boss is not anxious, but he is! He found that the inexplicable silence at the inn was the boss's doing, and now is the best time to save people!
"Well... I remember that you were the ones who stopped me and then I was beaten back to my original form, right?" Lin Xubai said slowly, as if recalling the situation at that time.
Upon hearing this, Ishikawa Nishi thought the boss was going to settle the score, and immediately knelt down in fear, "Forgive me, sir! It's us little demons who didn't recognize the great man! Please, sir, spare me and my two brothers for the sake of my dedication to you!"
"Okay, there's nothing for you to do from now on." Lin Xubai waved his fan, signaling Ishikawa Nishi that he could leave.
Ishikawa Nishi was overjoyed. He bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude and rushed towards the inn.
I didn't expect the boss to be so tolerant... It's not difficult to do what he asked... He is so lucky to meet such a tolerant boss!
Now Ishikawa Nishi is not as panicked as he was when his identity was first discovered. He even has the ambition to be a thug and do things for the boss in Humoting.
After he rescued his two brothers, the three brothers continued to work for the boss...
Eh...what did the boss ask him to do?
Ishikawa Nishi's eyes were dazed for a moment but soon became determined, "Big brother, second brother! You must hold on!"
He didn't realize that the memory of the 'demon boss' in his mind was gradually fading, silently and imperceptibly.
*
At the same time, You Sheng and his group who set out to rescue people were stopped by the hurried Rao Zhiyi.
At the same time, he was stunned by the news thrown out by Rao Zhiyi.
"Blue Bana?"
Tang Zheng was slightly stunned, a little confused, "Are you sure? Where did this news come from?"
Rao Zhiyi nodded, but did not mention where the news came from.
Liu Huaifeng thought about it and immediately believed it: "I'm afraid the people from the Demonic Path also know about it."
"If this blue flower of the other shore is truly the key to leaving Yongshu Township, then it's no wonder they suddenly took action." You Sheng frowned. "By the way, if you hadn't returned earlier, you wouldn't have known that Junior Brother Tu and Junior Sister Bai were captured by the Heavenly Desire Palace. We've also inquired around, and we've learned that the Heavenly Desire Palace not only captured them, but also many low-level demon cultivators and numerous cultivators. I suspect the Heavenly Desire Palace's actions are related to this blue flower of the other shore you mentioned."
When Rao Zhiyi heard that his fellow disciple was captured, he was surprised for a moment but quickly recovered his composure. He looked behind You Sheng and found that only Senior Brother You Sheng was there, and Senior Sister Chu was not there.
The new junior sisters and brothers were not there either.
Rao Zhiyi doesn't care about these.
For him, the most important thing now is to leave Yongshu Township and seek help from his master, and ask the peak masters and elders to save Yongshu Township.
Otherwise, with their cultivation levels not even reaching the Nascent Soul stage, even if they saved people, they would not be able to escape from Yongshu Township, and it would be in vain.
Moreover, what he wanted to save most was his family and his hometown.
"As long as we can find the blue red spider lily, we can leave Yongshu Township!" Rao Zhiyi clenched his fists excitedly. "As long as we get out, we can send a message back to the sect and ask the elders for help. Then we can not only save my fellow disciples, but also the people of Yongshu Township!"
Tang Zheng and Fang Xinxi looked at each other silently without saying anything.
Liu Huaifeng quickly understood Rao Zhiyi's thinking. In his opinion, with their cultivation level, they really had no way to solve the changes in Yongshu Township. Even if they saved people, other difficult incidents might occur.
Considering what Rao Zhiyi said about the mastermind coming back for revenge, he thought that to be able to turn Yongshu Township into this, his cultivation must be above the Nascent Soul stage.
With their current cultivation levels, even if they join forces, they are no match for that man.
If they want to save people and get out, they will definitely run into that person's plan of revenge.
Since I am no match for him no matter how you look at it, I might as well use the opportunity of leaving to seek help from my master, so that I can ensure my safety.
Seeing that Liu Huaifeng and You Sheng were persuaded, Rao Zhiyi immediately suggested going to the sea of flowers outside the city. "The blue red spider lily must be hidden in the sea of flowers. Believe me, if you want to get out, that's the only way!"
"Indeed, Yongshu Township was originally most famous for the sea of red flowers outside." Liu Huaifeng nodded.
Although Tang Zheng and Fang Xinxi were also hesitant, they saw that Liu Huaifeng and You Sheng thought what Rao Zhiyi said made sense and did not object to going to the sea of flowers to find out.
The two agreed.
But they still felt a little uneasy in their hearts, always feeling that they had forgotten something very important, and even felt that the scene in front of them was somewhat familiar, as if they had experienced it before.
Someone who was sitting alone on a high place drinking tea and enjoying the view paused with his fingers holding the teacup when he saw this. He finally understood how these people had mistakenly entered the night before.
It turns out there's a 'traitor' here.
Someone held his forehead: "..."
Just when Rao Zhiyi led his team to start the 2.0 version of exploring the sea of flowers, someone unexpected appeared.
"Don't go!"
A woman dressed in the attire of an outer disciple of Guiyuan Sect stopped them.
If Jiang Wan were here, she would recognize that this woman was the one she was looking for.
Seeing that Rao Zhiyi's face was getting more and more furious, Rao Qiubai quickly told him the reason why she stopped them.
"Brother, Jingyi agreed to let you go. You don't need to go to the sea of flowers to look for blue flowers."
"That villain! How could he give in so easily? Did you agree to something?" Rao Zhiyi didn't believe that the man would let them go so easily. Isn't Rao Jingyi afraid that he would call his disciples to deal with him after he gets out?
Rao Qiubai turned his head away: "As long as I agree to marry him, he will agree to let you and my brother leave here."
"What! I don't agree!"
"Wait, what's going on?" Liu Huaifeng said, "You've always known who trapped us in Yongshu Township!?"
You Sheng: "Huh? Is this your sister? Is she an outer disciple?"
The scene was very chaotic for a while, and Tang Zheng didn't know which one to press first.
But soon they won't have to worry about whether they agree or not, or whether there is someone behind the scenes or not.
Because suddenly, all of them saw black in front of their eyes. They were shocked and immediately made hand gestures to protect their bodies, but it was too late. The spiritual energy in their bodies stagnated, their consciousness gradually became dizzy, and their limbs became weak. Then they all lost consciousness completely and fell to the ground with their eyes closed.
Just like that, they were wiped out without even seeing their opponents.
Someone watching from afar held his forehead again: ...
The good news is that they don't have to worry about saving people or leaving.
Bad news...they were lured directly into the enemy's lair.
When You Sheng woke up again, he found himself tied to a wooden stake with a rope. Liu Huaifeng, Tang Zheng and the other two were also tied up not far from him. The people tied opposite him were very surprised to see that he woke up.
While she was surprised, she kept signaling him to look to the side with her eyes.
Yousheng:?
When he followed his gaze, he saw a woman sitting in the middle, looking like the owner.
You Sheng was dumbfounded: "Junior Sister Bai! Why is it you? You, you, what are you doing..."
Bai Qingqing had a faint dimple on her lips, and she raised her hand and waved at You Sheng who was looking at her, feeling very good.
"Brother You, long time no see."
