The next day, early in the morning, at the cold pastry shop.
Yao Leng, wearing a snow-white dress, sat in front of the counter, staring blankly towards the door.
In these days when no one comes to visit, daydreaming is her daily routine.
Trample! Trample! Trample!
There was a slight sound of footsteps, and Yao Leng quickly picked up the veil from the counter and put it on.
As the footsteps gradually approached, three familiar figures appeared in Yao Leng's sight.
"What are you doing?"
Yao Leng looked at Di Jiu and the other two in confusion, wondering why they came to the shop again.
Di Jiu smiled and said, "Yesterday's snow cake tasted very good."
"So, are you guys planning to eat snow cake today too?"
Yao Leng frowned slightly, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart.
The snow cake tasted really good, but the price of a spirit crystal far exceeded the value of a piece of snow cake.
If these three people are not suckers who don't understand the price, then they have ulterior motives.
"Of course not."
Emperor Jiu shook his head and said, "Today we plan to buy a sample of all the other pastries in your shop."
"Why?"
Yao Leng was stunned for a moment, then said, "We have five other kinds of cakes, each priced at three spirit stones."
"Then I'll give you three of each kind of cake."
Di Jiu took out a pile of spirit stones and placed them on the counter, then took Sikong Nan and Bing Xuanyu to sit in the same seats they had sat yesterday.
"Please enjoy your meal."
After Yao Leng brought the five kinds of pastries to the table one by one, he bowed and stepped back to the counter to observe the three people.
From Yao Leng's observation, the three seemed to be led by a young man in blue.
Whatever pastry the young man in blue picked up, the other two would follow suit.
"Thank you for the hospitality, Madam."
After quietly eating pastries in the pastry shop for a quarter of an hour, Di Jiu and the other two got up and left the shop, strolling leisurely in Shangguan City.
"Are they really just here to eat cakes?"
Inside Leng's pastry shop, Yao Leng looked at the backs of Di Jiu and the other two as they left, and fell into deep thought.
Day 3, early morning.
Di Jiu looked at the closed door of Leng's Pastry Shop, turned around and left with Sikong Nan and Bing Xuanyu without saying a word.
Day 4, early morning.
Di Jiu looked at the proprietress and Yao Li standing by the counter, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Boss, please give me six kinds of pastries, one portion of each for each person."
Four shining spirit crystals were thrown on the counter. Di Jiu didn't even look at Yao Li who had revealed his true face, and continued to walk to his old seat and sit down.
"My three guests, our store is closed today."
Yao Li stared at Di Jiu with cold eyes, as if he wanted to see something from Di Jiu.
Come on time every day for four consecutive days.
These three people definitely didn't just come here to eat cakes.
"Closed?"
Hearing Yao Li's words, Di Jiu seemed stunned for a moment, pointing at the open door of the shop and said, "If you are not open for business, why are you opening the door?"
After saying that, Di Jiu seemed a little angry and said, "No wonder your store has so few people coming. With your attitude, it would be strange if anyone would come."
"Let's go!"
Di Jiu stood up and without hesitation called Sikong Nan and Bing Xuanyu to go together.
Yao Li continued to stare at Di Jiu who was walking out with cold eyes. He did not dispel his suspicion of Di Jiu because of Di Jiu's performance.
"Have the people from Yaowang Mountain arrived?"
After walking out of the door of Leng's pastry shop, Di Jiu asked Sikong Nan directly through voice transmission.
"arrive."
Sikong Nan nodded secretly and said in a voice transmission, "People from Yaowang Mountain arrived in Shangguan City early this morning. They should be looking around for information about this store."
"They didn't even choose to attack directly. It seems that the people sent by Yaowang Mountain this time are not simple."
Emperor Jiu smiled slightly.
The more complicated the people sent by Yaowang Mountain this time, the more beneficial it will be to his plan.
"Dad, they seem to have left?"
Looking at the backs of Di Jiu and the other two disappearing into the path, Yao Leng couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of loss in his heart.
These three are the only ones who have tasted all of her pastries and praised them highly.
"Leng'er, I'm sorry."
Looking at Yao Leng's dazed eyes, Yao Li couldn't help but clench his fists secretly.
"Dad, I'm fine."
Hearing Yao Li's apology, Yao Leng smiled and said, "They are just three customers who like cakes. Even if they are gone, there will be other customers who like cakes and pastries."
"Yeah?"
Just as Yao Leng finished speaking, a slightly sinister voice sounded outside the store.
"Yao Lu? Yao Wang Mountain actually sent you to kill me?!!"
Looking at the young man in green robe outside the shop, Yao Li's face suddenly darkened.
"Master, it's been a long time since we last met."
Yao Lu's eyes were sinister, and his calm tone concealed a strong murderous intent.
"How did you know I was in Shangguan City?"
Yao Li's eyes were cold, and he was not affected at all by the word "Master" from Yao Lu.
"you guess."
A playful smile appeared on Yao Lu's lips.
He surveyed the Leng Cake Shop and said, "Master, I have to say, you're a master of the principle of hiding from view. We've been searching for you for nearly six months, and we never imagined you were hiding in Shangguan City near Yaowang Mountain. Not only that, you've even grandly opened a Leng Cake Shop for Junior Sister in the city."
"Why waste so much time talking to him? Just kill him and take back the Poison Scripture."
Another sinister voice sounded, and a middle-aged man in a green robe and with a rather strange appearance fell from the sky and landed next to Yao Lu.
"Medicine Ghost, you're here too?"
Looking at the middle-aged man with a ghostly face, Yao Li's heart suddenly became alarmed.
Two newly promoted warriors in the late stage of the Venerable Realm were sent out. It seemed that Yaowang Mountain was determined to kill him this time.
"Master, hand over the Poison Sutra, and I can leave you and your junior sister with an intact body."
Yao Lu's eyes were sinister, and a hint of greed flashed inadvertently in his eyes.
That is the Poison Sutra discovered in ancient ruins, which possesses mysterious power.
His master actually didn't teach him this peerless poison scripture. It's absolutely impossible for him to practice it alone.
"I told you."
Yao Li's eyes turned cold as he said in a chilling voice, "This Poison Scripture is inherited within my soul. Without cultivating it to perfection, I simply cannot describe its contents."
“You’re lying!!!”
Yao Lu stared at Yao Li with sinister eyes, and a strong murderous intent continued to grow in his heart.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Yao Li's face darkened slightly, and he didn't want to explain anymore.
It was just a book of poison, but his disciple was willing to abandon the century-long master-disciple relationship for it.
"kill!!!"
A long sword appeared in Yao Lu's hand, and Yao Lu took the lead in attacking Yao Li.
