Make some unreasonable preparations
According to their previous plan, the two of them went to find the families of those who had been in trouble.
Of course, nothing can be learned from the question.
Two days passed like this, and someone from the City Lord's Mansion came to urge them.
"Masters, the city lord has asked his subordinates to ask me, have you found any problems in the past few days? If not, should we go to the scene of the accident to take a look? Or do you Masters not have the ability to solve it?" The man seemed respectful, but in fact his words were very impolite.
Qin Baoyao looked angry, as if to say, "Stop looking down on me!" Shi Yue held her back to prevent her from acting impulsively.
"I told you, Miss is such a trouble. Who would do a mission when they know the location of the monster and yet they are still talking about investigating it thoroughly instead of just going and destroying it directly?" Yan Yuan tapped the ground and said impatiently.
He had had enough of the past few days. They just asked him to ask questions every day, and he refused to leave the city. He always used his position as team leader to pressure him. He would never team up with such a young lady again.
Although the Jiang sisters were good-tempered, they also had some complaints about Qin Baoyao's arrangements. Even if they couldn't find out the truth, what could they do? They just had to leave the city and kill all those monsters.
Only Qin Baoyao said that the truth must be found out, and Shi Yue also indulged her. If this continues, when will this task be completed?
Under the gaze of several people, Qin Baoyao tossed a blue bead back and forth in her hand without saying a word.
No one knew that she was secretly communicating with Shi Yue frantically at this moment.
[Shi Yue, are we going to take action? My brother is here, but he says he can't come in. Even if he suppresses his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment stage, he will revert to the Spiritual Transformation stage when he gets close to the door.]
[If that's the case, then we still have to destroy the formation in the city first.]
My brother said he should stay away because the guards at the city gate were staring at him.
[Okay, let me start.]
In fact, my brother also said that this city is so strange, why has no one discovered and reported it before.
But these doubts can be discussed after the problem is resolved.
Qin Baoyao and Shi Yue looked at each other, then looked at the others. Qin Baoyao threw the beads in her hand towards the place she had chosen long ago: "How annoying." She threw out another piece of gold, "
"Master, you've broken something in the shop."
"I know, I know. I'll pay you back." He took out a bag of gold and smashed it towards the spot he had just been in. "Is that enough? If not, I'll give you another one. Still not enough?" He smashed and smashed until all the gold in the bag was gone. Then he clapped his hands and said, "You don't have to pay back the extra. Consider it a reward for you."
The shopkeeper hurried over and picked up the gold.
However, everyone overlooked that what Qin Baoyao had initially smashed was a bead. After the shopkeeper picked up the gold, he smiled and said, "It's enough compensation."
Qin Baoyao snorted proudly, then went downstairs and walked up to those people: "Let's go find your city lord and discuss something with him first."
When Yan Yuan and the others wanted to follow, she refused: "You guys don't need to come, take a good rest for a day, you will be busy later." Then she nodded at Shi Yue and said, "Let's go together."
Arriving at the City Lord's Mansion once again, Qin Baoyao began to curse as soon as she entered: "City Lord Guan, we are here to complete a mission, not your subordinates. I don't need you and your subordinates to point fingers at me and complain about what I do at any time." After that, she took out a soft whip in front of Guan Sha and beat the people who said they were there to invite them. "And next time, it won't be just a few lashes."
"Master Qin, aren't you being unreasonable? The city lord just sent someone to ask about your progress." They didn't expect Qin Baoyao to start fighting right away.
"Hey, don't come over here." When the housekeeper was about to step forward, Qin Baoyao quickly jumped to the side.
"Alright, alright, this isn't a big deal, let's just fight." Guan Sha waved his hand and sent the butler away. "But Fellow Daoist Qin has been investigating for a few days. Have you found anything? If not, when will you help solve the monster problem?"
"We found out a little bit, enough." After saying that, he followed Shi Yue.
"What are they here for? Just for such a small matter?" Guan Sha looked at the housekeeper, both of them were puzzled.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion and walking for a while, Qin Baoyao approached Shi Yue and asked, "What happened?"
"No problem, the things are left here." They came here naturally for something to do, and Qin Baoyao's beating was also part of their plan.
When they returned to the restaurant, Yan Yuan and his friends did not rest upstairs. Instead, they sat in the shop, staring straight at the entrance of the restaurant. When they saw Qin Baoyao and the others come in, they snorted.
Qin Baoyao heard a hum and hummed back.
So the two of them started a childish game in the store, where you hum once, I hum twice, you hum twice, I hum three times.
Finally, Shi Yue couldn't bear it anymore and pulled Qin Baoyao upstairs first.
When passing by the rooms of several other people, Qin Baoyao kicked their doors unhappily.
"You!" Yan Yuan and the Jiang sisters, who followed them upstairs, were very dissatisfied with Qin Baoyao's behavior. "Why are you so unreasonable?"
Qin Baoyao turned around, said "lululu" a few times to them, and then opened the door and went in before they could react.
Yan Yuan instantly exploded and wanted to go forward to argue, but was stopped: "Brother Yan, forget it, Junior Sister Qin is just a spoiled child, don't bother with her."
"Look at her attitude! She doesn't tell us anything about the plan in advance, and only tells us on the day of the work. As a result, we have to wait for her to get up and arrange the tasks before we can go to work. How much time has been wasted?" Yan Yuan was very dissatisfied. He had never encountered such a teammate when he was on a mission, let alone a team leader. No matter whether he was leading the team or someone else, the plan had to be agreed upon in advance, and then everyone would work hard to complete the corresponding tasks as quickly as possible and summarize the results at the end.
There is no one like Qin Baoyao who is so casual.
The Jiang sisters also shook their heads. They also regretted forming a team this time. It seemed that only Qin Baoyao and Shi Yue knew everything, and the others seemed to be on guard against them, but they didn't do anything.
A few people sighed. What else could they do? They just had to bear it.
After they left, Qin Baoyao placed the Golden Feather Mirror in the room and climbed into Shi Yue's room through the back window.
"Shi Yue, do you think they have any suspicions?" Smashing things in the restaurant and beating people in the City Lord's Mansion were all intentional, but he didn't know if it would make them suspicious.
Shi Yue shook his head: "It's hard to say, there's no other way. We can't even trust the people who came with us."
"Yeah, who knew that something would happen after we were separated for so long in the city."
After she finished speaking, she took out another golden feather mirror and set it up in Shi Yue's room. They still had important things to do, so she hoped everything would go smoothly.
After a while, the two men went out quietly from the back window again. This time they went straight to where they wanted to go, and then buried things in various places. They finished in less than an hour.
After returning to the restaurant, both of them began to meditate, waiting for the opportunity to come.
At this time, Guan Sha in the City Lord's Mansion also felt that the time had come. He activated the items in his hands and waited for their Heart-Eroding Pill to take effect.
"City Lord, are we going to take action tonight?" Seeing his actions, the butler made a gesture and asked.
"No rush, let the Heart-Eroding Pill take effect for a while longer." Guan Sha said. He could feel the cultivation levels of Qin Baoyao and Shi Yue. Although they were only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was obvious that one of them had a higher cultivation level than him. It was just strange that he couldn't tell which one it was. But it didn't matter. Once the Heart-Eroding Pill was released, what would it matter if the other two had higher cultivation levels than him? The more spiritual power he used, the faster the Heart-Eroding Pill would take effect.
While he was activating the Heart-Eroding Pill, Qin Baoyao and Shi Yue, who were meditating together in the same room, were also discussing this matter.
"Today, when I went to the City Lord's Mansion, I observed Guan Sha. Otherwise, his reaction wouldn't have been so calm."
"Are you talking about the tea we drank a few days ago?" Shi Yue asked. He didn't know as much about these things as Qin Baoyao. Of course, he didn't know what the effects were. He only knew that he had an attack as soon as he left the house after drinking the tea.
"The Heart-Eroding Pill, a harmful thing." Qin Baoyao was indignant, but luckily it was this thing she used. When she was a child, she almost fell for it once, so her mother forced her to memorize many evil poisons, and the Heart-Eroding Pill was one of them. Her mother, who was usually very indulgent to her at that time, was very strict with her those days, requiring her to list those poisons so that she could identify them as long as they appeared in front of her. That's why she drank it herself at that time.
The fourth-grade Heart-Eroding Pill was like candy beans to her, but it was not so easy to bear for others. However, she did not expect that Shi Yue's physical condition was so poor that he had an attack on the spot. In order to avoid being discovered by Guan Sha, the person who poisoned her, she could only suppress it quickly, so she had to let Shi Yue drink her blood.
I thought Shi Yue would ask, but a few days passed and he didn't ask anything.
"These people only know how to do evil things. They are really not good people. I am a little worried that I won't be able to save the people in this city when the time comes." Qin Baoyao was very worried, because in the past few days they seemed to be looking for people to ask about the monsters, but in fact they took the opportunity to check some people's bodies. They were probably still the original citizens of the city, but they were controlled. Yan Yuan and the Jiang sisters should be in the same situation.
The next day, when Qin Baoyao went downstairs, she found that Yan Yuan and the Jiang sisters had been waiting there for a long time, as well as the soldiers arranged by the city lord, all of whom looked like they were waiting for her instructions.
She looked weak and walked down the stairs listlessly. She pointed at the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion and said, "Go back. We don't need you." They were a group of people who were only at the first or second level of Qi Refining. Why were they joining in the fun?
"Master Qin, the city lord said that in order to express his apology and to allow the Taoist priests to better deal with the monsters, he asked his subordinates to lead the way and clear the way." The leader bowed and said respectfully.
Tsk, you should be here to monitor!
She looked at Shi Yue, who also looked a little weak. Shi Yue closed his eyes and then opened them again.
Okay, just follow me.
