Jiang Yuanyuan did not turn around; she believed in the big boss's strength.
If the monk dares to show himself, the big boss will beat him to a pulp.
Jiang Yiyi confidently declared, "Jiang Yuanyuan, my teammates are incredibly strong. You're just waiting to die!"
Jiang Yuanyuan chuckled, "You have teammates, I have helpers."
“Your helper can’t possibly defeat…” Jiang Yiyi’s pupils contracted when she saw who it was.
"Who are you? Where is the monk?"
Lin Xi strolled in slowly. "The monks ran away long ago."
"Impossible, he clearly promised. Monks cannot lie."
Jiang Yiyi realized the flaw in her words.
The monk only said he would watch her from behind, but he didn't say he would help her fight, nor did he say how long he would stay.
The monk abandoned her and ran away alone...
Jiang Yiyi stammered in disbelief, "We're teammates, how could he abandon me?"
Lin Xi ruthlessly shattered her illusions, "You are just a pawn of the monk; your strength is far below that of your teammates."
Jiang Yiyi retorted, "My Gu techniques are very strong."
"It's more like it stinks," Lin Xi said calmly. "Although the Gu techniques of Miao Jiang are very famous, your Gu worms can't withstand a single move from the Gu King."
"Which of the three great evil arts of Southeast Asia isn't stronger than your Gu poison?"
The most important element in Gu magic is the Gu worm; only those who can refine powerful Gu worms can be called masters.
Jiang Yiyi hid in a dark corner, enduring the strong stench, and refined the Smoke Gu and Insect Gu.
Her twenty years of learning Gu techniques could not compare to the Gu King of Miao territory, whose skills had been passed down for a thousand years.
If she possessed the Gu King, the monk might take a second look.
There are plenty of ordinary Gu masters in Southeast Asia, where there are many poisonous insects and snakes, making it easier to refine powerful Gu worms.
At that moment, Jiang Yiyi understood.
The monk was using her from beginning to end, even deliberately luring the Special Administration Bureau to arrest her.
Why did the monk do that?
Lin Xi was also thinking about this issue.
She initially thought the monks were using the religious ceremony to run a pyramid scheme, bewitching the old ladies and stealing their lifespan and fortune.
It appears that Jiang Yiyi was the one who planted the Gu poison, and her lifespan and fortune were also consumed by the Gu worms.
The monk gained nothing; was it all just to seduce the old woman and spread his teachings?
Lin Xi stared at the woman in front of her. "Tell me the whole story honestly, or I'll have to take action."
"Why should I?" Jiang Yiyi glared at her. "What right do you have to order me around..."
Before she could finish speaking, a heavy fist slammed into her head, and Jiang Yiyi clutched her chest and screamed in pain.
"Ah! Stop it!!"
Lin Xi rubbed her wrist. "I studied traditional Chinese medicine and know every acupoint on the human body. Anyway, we still have plenty of time, so let's take it slow."
Jiang Yiyi's face was deathly pale, and she was covered in cold sweat.
This woman deliberately targets the most painful spots; I've never felt such pain in my life.
Lin Xi grabbed her chin, her smile like that of a villain in a movie, "It's even better when it gets dark. You can choose any kind of evil spirit, vengeful ghost, zombie, etc."
Jiang Yiyi trembled.
The monk betrayed her, which is why she ended up in this woman's hands.
A hint of hatred flashed in Jiang Yiyi's eyes. She wanted to make the monk taste what it was like to be beaten by a violent woman.
You damned monk, you stinking monk, just you wait!
“I’ll tell you everything…” Jiang Yiyi recalled what had happened before, “After losing to Jiang Yuanyuan in the Saintess Selection Competition, I was unwilling to accept it and wanted to go out into the world to explore.”
Jiang Yuanyuan interrupted her, "You lost the competition, sneaked into the clan leader's room to steal the Gu King, and were discovered, so you fled Miao territory."
Jiang Yiyi's face stiffened. "I didn't steal anything..."
Lin Xi raised her fist, "Still not behaving yourself?"
Seeing her fist, Jiang Yiyi felt pain all over her body again and took a deep breath.
"I'm not reconciled to this, and I'm not convinced that I lost to you. I worked so hard, while you just played all day. I put in so much effort but still lost."
“I feel that the clan leader has always treated me as an outsider and has not taught me the core Gu techniques.”
Jiang Yuanyuan stared at her, "Jiang Yiyi, we take classes together, we learn the same things, and the clan leader even lets you live in her own house. Is this how you see her?"
Jiang Yiyi looked up at the sky and said, "These things are no longer important."
She was very grateful to Jiang Yuanyuan for helping her leave that home.
In Miao areas, you don't have to be beaten or scolded, you don't have to go hungry, you can attend classes, and you can play.
Jiang Yiyi was very happy at first, but as the days went by, her Gu techniques were never as good as Jiang Yuanyuan's.
Resentment outweighed gratitude; she had only one thought in her mind: to surpass Jiang Yuanyuan.
She didn't want to live in Jiang Yuanyuan's shadow forever.
Jiang Yiyi escaped from Miao territory, hoping to make a name for herself, but ultimately she lost.
She slowly opened her mouth, "One night, a monk came to me and said that if I joined them, I could gain great power, and I agreed."
"The monk said that I must complete a task before the God will recognize my abilities."
"I followed the monk's instructions and used insect-based poisons on the elderly..."
"Wait a minute," Lin Xi asked, "You've never seen the God, you've only ever seen monks."
Jiang Yiyi nodded, "I'll do whatever the monk tells me to do."
Lin Xi stroked her chin. "It means you don't know anything, you're just a worker, there's no use keeping you around."
"No, I'm useful." Jiang Yiyi thought she was going to kill someone, so she quickly said, "The monk's name is Master Shikong. I can't see his features clearly, but when I get close to him, the Great Compassion Mantra automatically plays in his head..."
Lin Xi said, "I already knew all that."
"And there's more." Jiang Yiyi swallowed hard. "The monk has severe mysophobia, loves to eat raw meat and drink red wine, and eats vegetables mixed with Lao Gan Ma chili sauce."
Lin Xi: "..."
What's the point of all this?
Why did the monk use Jiang Yiyi as a pawn, and why did he abandon her without hesitation?
Based on the Chaos Society's previous actions, they should be focusing all their efforts on finding the fragments.
Fragments!
Oh no, Yun Yan and Bai Xiuyuan have gone to find the fragments too!
The monk used Jiang Yiyi to distract them and conceal his true purpose: to find the fragments.
Jiang Yuanyuan suddenly shouted, "The director just sent a message saying that the captain and Brother Xiuyuan have lost contact!"
Lin Xi frowned. "The monk left here no more than five minutes ago. It's impossible for him to confront Yun Yan so quickly."
Yun Yan and Bai Xiuyuan are quite powerful, and the fact that the Special Administration Bureau can't contact them at all means that the two have been trapped for some time.
Lin Xi's eyes sharpened. "The monk has an accomplice; that person is his true teammate!"
