Chapter 259 Misunderstanding

Chapter 259 Misunderstanding

The best place to upgrade mechanical props is Qiqiao Villa, where there is no shortage of materials and blueprints. In addition, it is Li Qi's own home, and his family can fully support Li Qi in making mechanical props.

Li Qi had originally thought that he would return to the villa to upgrade his equipment after completing the second level of the Heart Sutra.

But who could have imagined that a six-faction martial arts competition would suddenly come about.

Now it can only be upgraded symbolically.

The first stop when going down the Tianyi Valley is the city at the foot of the mountain.

Unlike Qiqiao Villa, which completely controls the local town, the city under Tianyi Valley still nominally belongs to the imperial court.

Therefore, there are court facilities such as government offices and the Six Gates.

With the Six Gates here, the martial artists in the city don't dare to act recklessly. The same goes for Tianyi Valley, but they won't stay here for too long. They will set off after purchasing the supplies they will need on the road.

Before this, everyone in Tianyi Valley can tour the city on their own.

Most of the disciples in Tianyi Valley rarely go down the mountain after going up, except for the day before they leave for their apprenticeship, when they can go down the mountain to heal people. Many disciples have lived in the mountains since childhood and rarely come down the mountain to play.

So when the team leader... the elder, announced that everyone could move freely during the purchase of items, the post-natal realm disciples immediately cheered and then split into two teams and left.

Several Xiantian Realm disciples looked at each other, and a Xiantian 5th-rank youth suddenly said, "Junior Brother Li, Miss Bai, how about we purchase supplies separately? You two go together, and I'll go with Senior Sister Huang and Junior Brother Zhou."

The fifth-rank disciple looked at Li Qi and Bai Yuzhu with a smile.

Li Qi was slightly startled, then turned to look at Bai Yuzhu, whose face was slightly red. He instantly understood what was going on, and immediately bowed and said:

"I see. Sister Yuzhu and I will go to the south city shops to have a look."

This disciple obviously wanted to give Li Qi and Bai Yuzhu a chance to be alone and did not want to be a light bulb in front of the two of them, so he suggested that they act separately.

His idea was well-intentioned, but Huang Wanmian frowned slightly and said softly: "We can go buy it together, why separate?"

“…”

The disciple who made the suggestion froze in laughter. He turned to look at Huang Wanmian and said helplessly, "Senior Sister, it would be more efficient to buy them separately..."

"It's just some things I need on the road. I can buy them by just going to a few shops. It would be more inefficient to separate them, right?"

Huang Wanmian said calmly.

She appeared calm and her attitude seemed normal, as if she was just speaking casually.

But the young man who made the proposal felt something was wrong. He looked at Li Qi, then turned and looked at Huang Wanmian, as if he realized something.

Li Qi was also staring at Huang Wanmian with a rather strange expression.

An ordinary person would probably think that Huang Wanmian was jealous and didn't want Li Qi to be alone with Bai Yuzhu.

But this is Huang Wanmian after all, the "medical madman" who values ​​the study of the human body more than anything else. Li Qi always feels that she has other purposes.

Thinking of this, Li Qi and Huang Wanmian moved closer and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Idiot, have you forgotten that someone approached you a few days ago? He was obviously coming for you."

Huang Wanmian said softly.

Li Qi understood:

"You mean... they might take advantage of me being alone?"

"What do you think?"

Li Qi thought about it.

This city is located in Zhongzhou and is one of the big cities in Zhongzhou. It is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and there are troops stationed in the city.

There are experts stationed here from the Six Gates, the military, and the Tianyi Valley. Even if there are really evil villains sneaking in, they probably wouldn't dare to show up.

This is what Li Qi originally thought.

But now after hearing what Huang Wanmian said, he became a little unsure.

Li Qi and Huang Wanmian were whispering to each other, but they didn't see Bai Yuzhu and the junior brother named Zhou on the other side. Their faces became darker and darker.

Bai Yuzhu bit her lip and looked at Li Qi who was whispering with Huang Wanmian. Suddenly she stepped forward and grabbed Li Qi's hand and said, "Xiao Qi, I want to buy something. Please come with me!"

"Wait, Sister Yuzhu——"

Li Qi was dragged away by Bai Yuzhu, and Huang Wanmian frowned even more tightly when she saw this.

She took two steps forward to call Li Qi back, but before she could open her mouth, the junior brother named Zhou said:

"Senior Sister, they are a young couple shopping, why should we interfere? Let them go."

"What do you know? Shut up."

Huang Wanmian scolded the disciple named Zhou mercilessly, and the disciple named Zhou's face became more and more uglier.

Seeing Huang Wanmian catching up with Li Qi and Bai Yuzhu in front of him, disciple Zhou clenched his fists.

The man who had just proposed the idea came over and patted him on the shoulder, saying:

"Junior Brother Zhou, give up. It seems that Senior Sister Huang likes young girls and doesn't like people like you."

"Go to hell, Senior Sister Huang is not that kind of person!"

Disciple Zhou said unhappily to the person who made the suggestion.

The person who proposed the idea was not angry. He pointed at Huang Wanmian who was chasing after Li Qi and said, "That's the truth. It's useless for you to be mad at me."

It would have been better if he didn't say it. After he said it, the disciple named Zhou's face became even darker, and his eyes were full of unwillingness when he looked at Huang Wanmian.

…

"Sister Yuzhu, please listen to me first..."

Li Qi, who was being held by Bai Yuzhu, felt the strength of the other party's grip on his wrist and immediately understood Bai Yuzhu's thoughts.

He wanted to explain to Bai Yuzhu.

But Bai Yuzhu stopped, turned around and asked:

"Xiao Qi, you like Huang Xianzi, right?"

"?"

"I know that Fairy Huang is better at martial arts than me, and has a better family background than me. I am only slightly better looking than her, but I don't have any other advantages, but..."

Bai Yuzhu kept talking to herself, which made Li Qi speechless.

He doesn't quite understand women's train of thought, and they can relate everything to love.

Seeing that Bai Yuzhu was about to change the tone and turn the plot towards love, Li Qi hurriedly stopped her:

"Sister Yuzhu, you think too much! Fairy Huang brought us together because of the Demon Sect!"

"……?"

Bai Yuzhu, who was about to express her feelings to Li Qi, was suddenly stunned. She held back all the words she was about to say and stared at Li Qi blankly, not coming to her senses for a long time.

Li Qi took this opportunity to continue, "Someone from the Demon Sect... sneaked into the vicinity of Tianyi Valley. In order to prevent the disciples of the Demon Sect from harming us, Fairy Huang suggested that we go together. It was definitely not because of what you think, Sister Yuzhu!"

Li Qi spoke the truth very quickly.

He didn't like misunderstandings, nor did he want to cause misunderstandings because of his riddles. He hated the plots in TV dramas in the past where the protagonists would never reveal the real reason and caused a series of misunderstandings.

So at this moment, seeing that Bai Yuzhu had some misunderstanding, Li Qi immediately explained to her.

So far, the results are good.

At least from the fact that Bai Yuzhu's face was getting redder and more embarrassed, it could be seen that the other party obviously understood what Li Qi meant.

“Is… is that so?”

Because of embarrassment, Bai Yuzhu's face was as red as a tomato, almost smoking.

As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Wanmian, who was chasing after her, slowly came over and said, "It seems that the misunderstanding has been resolved?"

Li Qi exhaled slowly and nodded to Huang Wanmian.

Bai Yuzhu lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Huang Wanmian. She walked silently to Li Qi, hid behind him and buried her face in Li Qi's back.

Bai Yuzhu turned into an ostrich and dared not see anyone. Li Qi patted Bai Yuzhu's arm to comfort her, and then said to Huang Wanmian:

"We are in the city, those evil thieves should not dare to act arbitrarily."

"It's hard to say, but you have to be careful about everything."

Problems occurred on Li Qi's side for several times in a row. Although Huang Wanmian was not quite sure what the Demonic Path was looking for, she could understand that the Demonic Path had set its sights on Li Qi.

So just in case, it would be better for Li Qi to go with everyone.

The misunderstanding was resolved, and Bai Yuzhu no longer stared at Huang Wanmian as if she were an enemy.

But Li Qi was not sure whether it was because of shyness or because he knew that Huang Wanmian had no such thoughts about him.

Because Li Qi and Bai Yuzhu walked faster and Huang Wanmian caught up later, when the three of them returned to the original place, the junior brothers named Zhou and Wang were no longer there.

He was replaced by a deacon from Tianyi Valley.

"Fairy Huang, Young Master Li, and Miss Bai."

When the steward saw the group coming back, he bowed to them first, then said to Huang Wanmian, "Young Master Wang and Young Master Zhou asked me to stay here and tell you that after you buy the things, you should meet at the entrance of the guild hall in the city. They will be waiting for you there."

"I understand. Go ahead and get busy."

Knowing where the other two were going, Huang Wanmian nodded to the deacon.

Tianyi Valley also has its own industries in the city. In addition to two medical clinics, there is also a hall that provides a resting place for disciples in the valley.

The two Grandmaster-level elders who led the team agreed to meet at the clinic that was closer to the east city gate. However, perhaps because several of the Innate-level disciples were together, Wang Zhou and his men chose the clinic that was closer to the city center as the gathering point.

Huang Wanmian didn't think much about it. After letting the steward leave, she said to Li Qi:

"Since we're separated, try not to go to the edge of the city. We can just look around the city center."

Li Qi had no objection to this, and Bai Yuzhu naturally had no objection to this either.

The three of them separated from the deacon and walked towards a shop.

But not long after parting with the deacon, Li Qi said to Huang Wanmian: "There is something wrong with that deacon."

"Um?"

Huang Wanmian was slightly startled, then turned around and asked, "What did you notice?"

"There's something wrong with the smell on him. There's a special kind of stench, very faint, and you can't smell it unless you smell it carefully."

Li Qi explained softly.

The second stage of the Immortal Heart Sutra is about to be completed, and Li Qi's five senses have become more acute. His sense of smell, hearing and vision have all been significantly improved, much better than when he was in Linbian City.

So he could smell that there was a special foul odor hidden in the smell of medicine remaining on the deacon's body.

The smell was quite strange and did not match the smell of any wild animal that Li Qi knew.

Of course, if that were all, Li Qi would not suspect the deacon of anything.

But after smelling the scent, Li Qi took the initiative to use his superpowers to check the guy's heartbeat and body temperature, and found that his heartbeat was very fast and his body temperature was also very high.

This proves that he is nervous.

I'm just delivering messages, why are you so nervous?

Without any intuition, Li Qi could guess that there might be something wrong with this deacon.
