Chapter 35 Confrontation
A man moved forward flexibly among the numerous courtyards, like a fish wagging its tail.
A man was on the roof, running silently on the bricks and tiles, his figure following like a ghost.
Ye Xiaoman had no idea that her identity was about to be exposed. Following the instructions on the map, she successfully reached the deputy city lord's window.
She knocked on the bricks and said, "I am in the light."
Soon, the deputy city lord came over after hearing the sound, and his tall and thin figure was reflected on the window paper.
"Heart towards darkness."
The signal matched, and the deputy city lord opened the window.
Ye Xiaoman handed over the brown paper wrapped around the imperial seal.
"Be careful when you return. If you ruin this city lord's good deeds, you will die a thousand times."
Ye Xiaoman replied in a pinched voice: "I'll do the job, don't worry."
She hid beside the flowerpot and left along the path she came from.
The whole scene of their meeting fell into the eyes of Xiao Chujing who was on the roof opposite.
The engraved jade slip in his hand captured the entire scene.
Ye Xiaoman was caught red-handed.
Ye Xiaoman completed the task and felt relieved. She could return to the courtyard where she lived smoothly by bypassing the pavilions and towers.
Suddenly, her arm was grabbed by a big hand, pulled back with great force, and pressed against a support pillar.
In the garden, spring flowers are in full bloom, and among the vibrant colors, Xiao Chujing's handsome face with a solemn expression emerges.
The male protagonist has an overwhelming aura, and is quite scary when he doesn't smile or talk.
He pulled off the hood on Ye Xiaoman's head and pulled down the black cloth covering her face.
Ye Xiaoman stared at Xiao Chujing with her almond-shaped eyes, feeling very calm in her heart.
It's okay. She also brought a magic disguise weapon to change her appearance, so Xiao Chujing couldn't recognize her.
Next, all he had to do was find an opening to escape from Xiao Chujing's clutches...
She was planning when she heard Xiao Chujing sigh:
"Junior Sister, I know it's you."
"No matter how much you try to hide yourself, as long as you appear in front of me, I can recognize you at a glance from your posture and movements."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and took off the small flower that Ye Xiaoman had pinned on her hair. It was her magic weapon for disguise.
Once the magic weapon was gone, Ye Xiaoman revealed her true appearance.
Ye Xiaoman: “…”
That's why she hates smart men.
Xiao Chujing took out the jade slip with an expressionless face and played the scene of her meeting just now to her.
Her entire conversation with the deputy city lord was recorded on camera, confirming their undercover identities.
He asked coldly, "What do you want to say?"
Don't rush me, I'm already thinking of an excuse.
For a moment, Ye Xiaoman didn't say anything, and Xiao Chujing stared at her.
In order to facilitate movement, the junior sister tied her long hair into two buns next to her ears, one on the left and one on the right.
Humph, does she think that he will be soft-hearted towards her just because she dresses so cutely?
Hey, you know what, Chibi Maruko is quite cute, and her little hands are so clever.
It's amazing, how does she manage to be so cute just standing there?
Xiao Chujing had a cold face and stroked Ye Xiaoman's bun with his big hand.
"Besides being an undercover agent for the demon clan, are you deceiving me about anything else?"
He tightened his voice and asked the question that concerned him most.
"For example."
"You don't love me, but you pretend to love me and deceive my feelings?"
Ye Xiaoman secretly glanced at Xiao Chujing.
Nonsense, in this situation where I could be killed at any time, even if the answer is "yes", I will still answer "no".
Ye Xiaoman said sincerely: "No."
Xiao Chujing raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Xiao Chujing: "What is your mission?"
Ye Xiaoman: "Assist the demons in slaughtering the city."
Xiao Chujing: "Oh."
It's just a massacre of a city, not a big mistake.
He was already wondering what relatives his scumbag father in the Demon Realm had to seek refuge with, and whether he should elope with Ye Xiaoman overnight.
Xiao Chujing was heartbroken: "Why did you choose this path?"
Ye Xiaoman continued to remain silent, picking her fingers and blowing on her fingertips.
When you encounter a situation where you need to quibble, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. The best policy is to keep your mouth shut, and others will automatically fill in the gaps in your silence.
Xiao Chujing thought a lot alone.
He first recalled the Simao Secret Realm a while ago, when he was unconscious and heard the conversation between Ye Xiaoman and a strange man.
He was thrown into the pit of the dead by Su Zhiwan. After waking up, he was inexplicably saved. When he asked Ye Xiaoman about it, she hesitated and only said that someone passed by and gave him a helping hand.
Xiao Chujing connected the cause and effect and added a little imagination.
It turned out that Junior Sister had made a deal with the demons at that time!
The demons rescued him, and the price was that the junior sister agreed to be an undercover agent.
Xiao Chujing: "Is it that time?"
Ye Xiaoman didn't know what Xiao Chujing was talking about, so she responded vaguely, "If you say so, then so be it..."
Xiao Chujing closed his eyes in pain, "You actually sacrificed yourself for me."
Ye Xiaoman's eyes widened. She didn't understand why Xiao Chujing was so moved again.
It's okay as long as he thinks it through.
She was afraid that she would explode and die after being betrayed, and she was unable to explain to Xiao Chujing at the moment.
As long as her emotions fluctuate greatly, her online friend can sense her inner thoughts. She is afraid that her online friend will notice that she has been discovered and kill her to silence her, so she is currently speaking calmly.
She told Xiao Chujing: "I have my reasons for being an undercover agent. I've been poisoned, and if I don't get the antidote every month, I'll die."
"I will find a way to complete the task without harming anyone."
Xiao Chujing completely believed Ye Xiaoman.
He touched her shoulder lovingly and distressedly: "Don't worry, I will help you escape the control of the demons."
"Junior Brother Xiao, how did your tracking go last night?"
The next day, the eldest brother and others asked about Xiao Chujing, and Xiao Chujing also chose to protect Ye Xiaoman.
"Junior Sister is innocent."
"That's good." The eldest brother felt relieved.
Ye Xiaoman walked out of the room: "Big Brother, I want to go out for a while and go shopping."
Her fellow disciples looked at her silently. Xiao Chujing took the initiative to come over and said, "I'll go with you."
Early in the morning, the person online gave Ye Xiaoman a new task, asking her to rush to a place 20 miles away from the outskirts of the city.
As part of their plan to massacre the city, the demons hollowed out a mountain and built a secret base underground.
The demons in the city were hunted down by the righteous forces a while ago, and a lot of demons were lost.
The city was going to be massacred the day after tomorrow, and the base had not been built yet, so people were urgently needed to do the hard labor, so she was assigned to it.
Xiao Chujing: "What role does the base play in the massacre plan?"
Ye Xiaoman rubbed her face and said, "I don't know. The higher-ups haven't told me anything. I'm just cannon fodder. I'll go wherever they need me."
Last night, they took the long view.
Ye Xiaoman hopes that Xiao Chujing can prevent the massacre from happening based on her intelligence.
In the original novel, all the civilians in the city were killed, and Xiao Chujing only captured the deputy city lord afterwards, making a great contribution.
Now, he knew the demon clan's plan through her in advance, and he should be able to do something with the halo of the protagonist.
"You go and carry out the mission ordered by the demon clan, and I will infiltrate the base to investigate."
After Xiao Chujing finished speaking, he modified the lapis lazuli necklace on Ye Xiaoman's neck.
This way, if she comes into contact with the devil again, the necklace will not light up.
