The third candy
"What poison? My spider couldn't bear to see me suffer, so it bit you to vent my anger. If you really want to taste my poison, I can satisfy you." Wu Simiao led the spider back, and she raised the hand with the spider lying on her fingertips and said.
A doctor nearby took the man's pulse with a stern look on his face, but soon shook his head at him, and Zhao Shuangyi glanced over. The man covered his wound with his hands, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.
That day, the strong man returned to his room and immediately started vomiting and having diarrhea. He was in the cramped for three days. But that’s another story.
There were many sects participating in the martial arts conference, and it took a whole day just to ask the heroes about their movements the night before. Who knows how long it would take if we really continued the investigation.
So Zhao Shuangyi looked at the people of Lingkong Sect apologetically and decided to hold a martial arts conference and investigate the cause of Elder Su's death at the same time.
The Lingkong Sect no longer had any interest in participating in the martial arts conference, so they focused all their attention on catching the real culprit.
The martial arts conference was supposedly a place for martial artists to compete and learn from each other, but the experienced elders only offered opening moves, often serving as referees. The official participants were young disciples from various sects, and while a champion was chosen annually, this champion gained no tangible benefits other than fame.
However... the leaders looked at each other. The young leader has reached old age, and the title of the leader this year might be different.
There are no strict rules for the competition. The winner is decided in one round. If all the participating disciples of a sect lose, the sect will lose the qualification to compete. The sect that loses the qualification can stay and continue to observe.
Each sect had its own affairs to attend to, and in previous years, defeated sects would usually leave early. However, this year, after the incident with Elder Su of the Lingyun Sect, no sect would leave early.
The Yunsheng Sword Sect's competition was scheduled for the third day.
Li Fengyi followed the routine of getting up early, practicing martial arts, and going to the arena to watch the competition. Wu Simiao also stopped running around, so as not to worry those decent people.
However, she originally thought that the martial arts conference would be very exciting, but she didn't expect it to be all show and there was no fighting at all. After watching only one round, Wu Simiao felt bored.
After revealing her identity, Wu Simiao also had a seat. Now she was sitting next to Li Fengyi, bored out of her mind, and she thought fiddling with the sword tassel was more interesting than watching the competition.
After his attention was no longer on the arena, Wu Simiao heard whispers coming from behind him.
"I heard that the Saintess of the Demon Cult came with Senior Sister as a sword attendant."
"Sword Servant? I thought everyone in the Demon Cult was vicious and evil, but now it seems that's not the case."
"I don't know how Senior Sister knows that Saint Lady. Since she was able to bring her to the martial arts conference, they must have a good relationship."
"I guess they met when my senior sister was traveling."
Good relationship?
Listening to the words of the Yunsheng Sword Sect disciples, Wu Simiao only raised an eyebrow. She turned her head to look at Li Fengyi beside her. Li Fengyi was watching the competition on the arena.
What's so good about it? Wu Simiao shrugged. It was a pity that the fairy's fellow apprentice sisters had guessed wrong. She and Li Fengyi were not close friends. It was just that she...didn't notice it for a moment.
Thinking of this, Wu Simiao kept his eyes on Li Fengyi for a long time.
Li Fengyi was originally concentrating on watching the competition. Feeling the burning gaze beside her, she turned her head and saw that the owner of the gaze was indeed Wu Simiao.
What? Li Fengyi raised his eyebrows slightly. Are you bored?
Wu Simiao curled her lips and gestured for Li Fengyi to listen to what her junior sisters behind her said.
Li Fengyi leaned back slightly on the chair, and at this time, the topic of the junior sisters who were originally chatting had already been changed. They realized that the person they were talking about was sitting not far in front of them, watching the game intently with their eyes and nose.
Li Fengyi didn't hear anything, nor did she take it to heart. She just wrote "Concentrate" on the back of Wu Simiao's hand and turned her attention back to the competition stage.
Wow, this person is too much. Wu Simiao suddenly felt angry. She didn't know why she felt so angry. Even the words Li Fengyi had just written on the back of her hand with his cold fingertips became hot.
Concentrate? Humph.
The morning competition is over.
Wu Simiao rubbed the back of his hands and followed Li Fengyi back to the room after dinner.
Just as they entered the courtyard, the two of them stopped at the same time. They saw a man sitting in the courtyard, making tea and drinking water by himself - it was the young leader.
Seeing Li Fengyi coming back, the young leader showed obvious joy on his face. He quickly stood up and walked forward quickly. When he saw Wu Simiao behind Li Fengyi, the young leader's steps paused obviously.
Wu Simiao had just exposed his shortcomings two days ago, and the young leader was a little embarrassed, but he didn't know how much Wu Simiao had seen, so he had to be polite. He let out a subtle breath, bowed elegantly and said, "Fairy... Saint Lady."
"Young Alliance Leader." Li Fengyi nodded politely, "But what's the matter?"
"Ah, I came to see if you're used to living here. I see you have no one to serve you, so I'll arrange for two maids to come over right away."
"No need. I'm not used to having other people in the room." Li Fengyi shook his head and refused.
"Then what are you missing? If you need anything, tell me or talk to the housekeeper."
"Thank you for your concern, Young Leader." Li Fengyi said with a faint expression.
The Young Alliance Leader had come here on his father's orders. Li Fengyi had refused twice in a row, and the Young Alliance Leader didn't know what to say next, so he said, "Fairy, you must be tired from watching the competition. I won't disturb you. I hope you have a good rest."
Li Fengyi nodded slightly.
Wu Simiao looked like he was seeing someone off. As soon as the young leader stepped out of the courtyard, Wu Simiao slammed the door shut. If he had been a little slower, his shoes would have fallen off.
After closing the door, Wu Simiao returned to Li Fengyi. She looked at the tea and teacup on the stone table with disdain, "Why are you still so polite to that kind of person? Should I smash this teacup and bury it?"
Li Fengyi didn't say anything, and saw the teacup break into two pieces as she picked it up and put it down.
"That's more like it." Wu Simiao snorted lightly, and went to dig the soil in the corner with a smile on his face.
Wu Simiao did not go to watch the competition in the afternoon. She told Li Fengyi about it and planned to find a place to play by herself.
Li Fengyi seemed to know that she wouldn't stay long, so he didn't stop her. He just thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have enough money on you?"
She still remembered all the things Wu Simiao had brought back when he came back from the market at the foot of the mountain.
Wu Simiao was a little surprised by Li Fengyi's words. She smiled and moved closer to him, "What will you do if what I say is not enough?"
"You can pawn the small change you have on you and you'll have money." Li Fengyi didn't agree with Wu Simiao, she said.
The odds and ends that Li Fengyi mentioned were not the small items that Wu Simiao bought from the market, but the various poisonous insects on her body.
"Ha." Wu Simiao chuckled, "I'm willing to give it to you."
But having said that, Wu Simiao was reluctant to give away her treasure. She patted her waist and continued, "Don't worry, I won't pawn myself in the shop and wait for you to redeem me."
Li Fengyi looked at her for a moment and said nothing more.
Wu Simiao walked out of the room and prepared to leave the courtyard. However, before she had taken a few steps, she clearly heard the branches of the treetops outside the courtyard move slightly. The sound was light and short, and Wu Simiao's eyes darkened.
To verify something, Wu Simiao used his Qinggong to swoop out from Li Fengyi's courtyard to the main hall, and then to the wall of the villa. Wu Simiao paused for a moment, and his sharp eyes caught two pieces of clothing.
Sure enough, someone was following her.
Wu Simiao instantly found the fun and started to stroll around the villa in front of the people who were monitoring him. This was much more interesting than sitting on a stool and watching a bunch of fancy moves playing house.

"She's been wandering around the villa all day?" The Young Alliance Leader frowned upon hearing the report from his subordinates and looked at the Wulin Alliance Leader. "Father, what do you think this demonic woman's purpose is?"
"No matter what her purpose is, she is now in the Wulin Alliance, and she should think carefully about any plans she has. Compared to this evil witch from the cult, you should be more concerned about your marriage with Li Fengyi." Zhao Shuangyi said seriously.
"I know." The young leader said with lowered eyebrows.
"The stupidity of the past two days must not happen again." The Wulin Alliance Leader continued, "You know what is most important to you right now."
"yes."
It's not dark yet.
Wu Simiao returned to Li Fengyi's courtyard.
Relying on her identity as the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult, she lived in Li Fengyi's courtyard openly, and the Wulin Alliance provided two copies of everything in Li Fengyi's courtyard.
When she came back, the housekeeper was ordering the maids to serve the dishes. Seeing Wu Simiao, the housekeeper's smile became a little more friendly. "The Saint is back. Come and try these dishes to see if they suit your taste. These are all prepared by our young leader with the fairy's taste in mind. If these are not to your liking, I will order them to be redone immediately."
Hearing the housekeeper's words, Wu Simiao looked at the table and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Don't bother, I'm not picky about food. I'll eat whatever the fairy eats."
As she spoke, she sat down next to Li Fengyi and picked up a piece of mushroom with her chopsticks without hesitation. "Your chef is very skilled." Wu Simiao said to the housekeeper.
"As long as you enjoy your meal," the butler said with a smile, "I won't disturb you two from eating."
"Thank you for your trouble." Li Fengyi said.
"I'll take you there." Wu Simiao stood up and said.
The butler was a little flattered. "No need, no need." He waved his hands repeatedly.
"It's okay. I've been walking all day. I'll take a few more steps tonight." Wu Simiao imitated Li Fengyi's light voice, but the housekeeper keenly felt that the saint's words were not just superficial.
Wu Simiao and the housekeeper walked to the gate of the courtyard together. "Goodbye." She curled the corners of her lips and raised her hand to close the door of the courtyard.
The butler was still thinking about what Wu Simiao had just said. He thought for a moment and walked towards Zhao Shuangyi's study.
Wu Simiao closed the door to the courtyard, returned to the room and closed the door again. Li Fengyi looked at Wu Simiao's actions without any surprise on his face. He just said, "No one would dare to eavesdrop on me here."
"I knew I couldn't hide from your eyes." Wu Simiao snorted. The group of people who followed her all afternoon started from this small courtyard, and Li Fengyi knew it but didn't remind her!
"I thought you would find walking people around more interesting than watching a competition." Li Fengyi said, "You can get rid of those people if you want to, so why should I waste my words?"
"Why, are you feeling sorry for these talented young men in your martial arts world? Even the stalkers couldn't hide their tracks. In our place, they would have been thrown into the mountains to feed the wild beasts long ago." Wu Simiao said in a cold tone.
"The martial arts world has been peaceful for a long time." Li Fengyi looked up at Wu Simiao and continued.
Even if the situation is calm, it doesn't mean your martial arts skills are poor... Wu Simiao paused, but didn't say anything. He just said, "How about I tie up those people and throw them in front of Zhao Shuangyi?"
"Even if you do that, he won't admit that he sent the person."
"That's not important. He hired someone to keep an eye on me, so I have to make things difficult for him." With that, Wu Simiao was about to leave.
"Who are those people? They told you not to even eat your meal. Eat first." Li Fengyi knocked on the table with the chopsticks in his hand.
"...Oh." Wu Simiao stopped and moved back to the table.
After dinner, Wu Simiao found the room of the two people who had followed him in the afternoon. It was already late at night, and there were only a few rooms with lights on in the entire villa.
Wu Simiao was standing outside the window when a centipede crawled out from her sleeve and slipped in through the crack in the door.
The centipede seemed to be intelligent. It quickly found the two people lying on the bed and bit each of them on the shoulder.
Wu Simiao, who was outside the house, heard the breathing of the person inside becoming heavier. A centipede crawled out of the house and crawled back into his sleeve. Wu Simiao pushed open the door.
