Chapter 157 The Thief's Ambition Remains
The door opened and there was a pungent smell inside.
Qing Yanrou took out a purification talisman, removed the smell, and walked towards the spirit gathering array she had made for Xiao Hei last night.
"Xiao Hei?"
Not hearing any sound, she hurried over anxiously.
Chu Tingbai originally wanted to tell her not to worry, and before he could even put his hand on her, he saw that she had already passed by, so he had no choice but to follow her.
"Xiao Hei?"
Xiao Hei, who was curled up, opened his triangular eyes when he heard her voice. A glimmer of light flashed in his golden vertical pupils. Then he blinked his eyelids and leaned over to rub the back of her hand.
Next to where its body was coiled was its shed shell.
Seeing that it was now so lively, she felt relieved.
"I don't know what that black fog is, but it can actually help you improve your cultivation."
Xiao Hei felt the comfort brought by her palm, and after hearing her words, he shook his snake head slightly, indicating that he didn't know either.
"You dare to eat it without knowing what it is, and you get it too!"
'Ding-ling-ling—ding-ling-ling—'
Suddenly, a quick phone call rang.
"Hey, what's up?"
[Idol, the rest of Fudao R country is not worth comparing. ]
Zhang Linger's excited voice reached her ears through the phone, irritating her so much that she moved the phone slightly further away.
"Why?"
Qing Yanrou frowned slightly. Judging from their attitude, it seemed that they would not return home so easily.
[Because nine out of ten people lost on the first day, you're so embarrassed, hahahaha——]
Zhang Linger's hearty laughter lasted for a long time before it stopped at the other end.
"When will they return?"
[I heard that he'll be going back today.]
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing that she was in a daze after hanging up the phone, Chu Tingbai couldn't help but walk over and push away Xiao Hei who was still rubbing her other hand, and asked in a deep voice.
"I always feel like something is wrong."
"If you can't figure it out, go and take a look."
…
"Where are the people from R country?"
Qing Yanrou asked the Taoist boy who was cleaning next to her.
"Ah, Taoist Qing! They, they've already left."
When the little Taoist boy saw that it was her, he quickly put down the broom in his hand and answered excitedly.
"Gone? Back home?"
"They said they were returning home today."
After hearing this, Qing Yanrou felt even more uneasy. She stretched out her fingers to count, but could not calculate anything.
"Master Qing, what's wrong?"
Seeing that she looked a little unhappy, the little Taoist boy asked cautiously.
"fine."
After saying that, he and Chu Tingbai walked into the Taoist gate.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Qing, the people from Country R have gone back. We won't compete today."
Taoist Master Jie Yun was holding a stack of information in his hands. Seeing the two of them walking in a hurry, he quickly called out to her.
"Master Xie Yun, have the people from Country R really returned home?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Looking at her frown, Taoist Jie Yun was a little confused and bewildered.
"I feel a little uneasy."
"Follow me first."
Her words instantly made Xie Yun's face darken from all the smiles on his face, and he spoke in a serious tone.
For people in the Taoist sect, the most important thing is intuition.
Sometimes their intuition is more accurate than their divination.
So when Xie Yun heard Qing Yanrou say that she was feeling uneasy, he had to take it seriously.
After returning to the lobby and handing the information to others, Xie Yun took them both to the next room.
"Friend Qing, what's going on?"
"When I heard about the R country people coming to China, I had a hunch that something was up. Then you mentioned the competition ten years ago, and I didn't take it seriously. I thought they were just here to save face."
"But they didn't seem to be using their full strength in the arena at that moment, and they themselves have a shortage of talent under the age of 30. Why would they impose this restriction?"
Qing Yanrou's words successfully made Jie Yun frown. Now that he thought about it, it seemed unreasonable.
The competition conditions also set a rule that restricted them. During the competition, although some of them made some small movements, they obviously did not use their full strength. After all, there were only nine of them.
This is not the R-style of doing things.
They didn't participate in the next few competitions that were originally scheduled. They hurriedly came to the Taoist sect to stay for two days, and returned in a hurry today.
This is so abnormal.
"Besides, I calculated it, and there is nothing."
"What?!"
Xie Yun was now completely uneasy. He knew Qing Yanrou's divination ability, but now she suddenly couldn't figure it out. It must be that the other party was using some method to conceal the secret.
If they were just here to compete, why would they go through all this trouble?
Considering the despicable and shameless character of the R people, who love to do bad things secretly, they must be up to something bad this time.
"I'll notify the headmaster and the elders to hold a meeting."
"Wait, lend me six coins."
"What are you doing?"
Xie Yun was a little confused, but still asked the Taoist boy to bring in six coins.
"Divination."
"Then I'll get you a tortoise shell—"
"No, this is fine. Go and inform the others."
"good."
Qing Yanrou decided not to focus on the R countrymen this time. Since she couldn't figure it out, she would try to figure out what would happen in Xuanmen, or in other words, what would happen in China.
She cast the divination very quickly, and after changing the direction, the result came out quickly.
But she was really shocked when she saw the result.
How could this happen?!
"What's wrong?"
Chu Tingbai looked at her ugly face and asked with some concern.
"Quick, quick, quick, go find them."
He had never seen Qing Yanrou so anxious before, so he didn't bother to ask any more questions and hurried to catch up with her.
"Hey, fellow Daoist Qing?"
Jie Yun bumped into her just after he had notified her and came over. Seeing how anxious she was, he couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart.
"Where are the elders?"
"On the way to the meeting room, I was just trying to lead you there. Did you figure it out?"
"Province C, Dragon Vein!"
"What???!!!"
After Taoist Master Jie Yun reacted, he quickly took the lead and ran towards the conference hall.
'Bang--'
The people in the conference hall were startled by the loud crash and turned around to see the usually calm Taoist Master Jie Yun running in, panting.
"What's going on?"
Taoist Master Mingyi asked his junior fellow disciple with some confusion, as he had never seen him so panicked.
"The dragon vein of Province C."
"What's wrong? Isn't the dragon vein being watched by someone?"
When they heard about the dragon vein that had just formed in Province C, the others were very puzzled.
"The people from Country R haven't returned home, and the dragon veins in Province C are in danger."
