The transaction was successfully completed. Tu Nian and Jin Nanfeng stood up again to greet Nan Ziyan and prepared to take Yu Wenyi back home.
When they were about to leave, Liu Yuzhi, as the person who received them, should have come out to see them off.
When the two sides met and saw each other's not-so-friendly face, Tu Nian knew that the medical practitioner or medicine practitioner named "Qingdai" had already dissolved the elixir in her body and probably told her that what he gave her was actually just a magic pill.
Warfare is a game of deception, and Tu Nian didn't feel guilty about it. However, looking at the other person's expression, she suddenly recalled the other person's strange reaction when she talked about Xu Chi.
A sinister premonition welled up in her heart, and she quickly turned back to find Nan Ziyan. "By the way, Sect Leader, I have some acquaintance with a girl named Chi Chi in your pavilion, but I haven't been able to contact her recently. I wonder how long her mission will be completed? This way, I can go and say hello if I know the time."
Nan Ziyan was about to leave when she heard her question. She slowed down her pace and a meaningful smile appeared on her face. "Since you're here to ask about the Gong family, how could you not know the whereabouts of Xu Chi?"
whereabouts?
Hearing her words, Tu Nian's heart stagnated, and his expression gradually became solemn, "You mean..."
Nan Ziyan raised her lips and said, "If you keep asking, it will be counted against you."
Tu Nian said in a deep voice: "It's okay, go ahead."
Although he still had doubts just now, now that he had said this, Tu Nian was almost certain that Xu Chi's recent loss of contact was definitely not as simple as an assassination mission.
Nan Ziyan raised her hand to signal the disciple beside her, then turned to Tu Nian and said, "The account has been recorded. I have something else to do. Yuzhi will tell you about it."
Nan Ziyan left after she finished speaking. Tu Nian didn't even bother to see her off. He hurriedly asked Liu Yuzhi beside him, "Did something happen to Xie Chi?"
Liu Yuzhi was still upset about being tricked by her with a Bewitching Pill, but she couldn't disobey her master's orders, so she said impatiently with a dark face: "Someone in the Gong family died, and Gong Huaisheng somehow found out about Yanyu, so he issued a hunting order, one of which was for Yan Chi."
Tu Nian had originally prepared himself mentally for the possibility that Xie Chi would fall into the Gong family, but he never expected that the most famous "Mr. Jia Qian" in Yan Yu in the original novel would happen to Xie Chi!
Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she grabbed Liu Yuzhi's wrist and asked, "When did this happen?!"
Perhaps frightened by Tu Nian's sudden excitement, Liu Yuzhi even forgot to resist and subconsciously answered, "About ten days ago."
"Ten days, ten days..."
Letting go of her hand, Tu Nian calculated the time in her mind. Ten days ago from today was exactly the day she and Bo Qiu separated, which was also the day before the two of them went to Tianzhu Mountain to find Xu Chi.
In other words, the beautiful girl that the old lady mentioned that day was indeed the one in the mist and rain, and she took Chi Chi away not to assign her a task, but because Chi Chi was her task!
"nausea."
Yuwen Yiyi was young and naive, but he finally understood what was going on. He spat harshly and looked at Liu Yuzhi with disgust, "How can you be so greedy that you attack your own people!"
Folding her arms, Liu Yuzhi looked back at her with amusement and said indifferently, "The Third Princess lives in a magnificent palace, so naturally she doesn't understand that in this world, there are only permanent interests, but no permanent friends. Therefore, there is no business that cannot be done. Even if they are from the same sect, it's just two words, a superficial effort."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Quickly composing himself, Tu Nian took a deep breath and asked, "Who received the hunting order? Has the settlement been announced?"
Liu Yuzhi had recovered by now. Seeing Tu Nian's impatience, she smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you and Chi Chi only started interacting after the competition? You look like you really care about her."
"Liu Yuzhi," Tu Nian coldly spat out her name. He looked at her and said, "I repeat, I'm here to make a deal. You just need to answer my questions."
"How boring." She tutted her tongue in disinterest. Just like Nan Ziyan just now, Liu Yuzhi pulled out a scroll from thin air and handed it to her. "Hey, it records the owner of the wanted order and the progress of her most recent report to the cabinet. You...eh!"
Before she could finish her words, Tu Nian grabbed the scroll and rushed out of the Misty Rain Pavilion. Yu Wen called out to her one by one and followed closely behind. Only Jin Nanfeng remembered the etiquette and said "goodbye" before following the two women.
Liu Yuzhi opened her mouth and closed it again, came to her senses, and returned to the pavilion in a listless manner.
"Master." Liu Yuzhi bowed to Nan Ziyan.
"Are they gone?" Nan Ziyan asked.
"Yes, it seems like he went to look for Chen Chi."
"That's right." Nan Ziyan leisurely blew out a smoke ring. "It would be best if we could rescue her. If not, just think of it as the pavilion making a little extra money from Gong Huaisheng."
Pursing her lips, Liu Yuzhi asked with a puzzled look, "Master, how do you know that Tu Nian will definitely ask about Xu Chi's whereabouts? What if she doesn't ask?"
Nan Ziyan raised her eyes lightly and looked at her, "That's because you didn't do your job well, so you came back to receive a punishment."
"Master!" Liu Yuzhi protested in a long tone. If she hadn't said it, which good family would use Yuanying as an acting talent?
"What are you yelling about?"
A stream of spiritual energy struck her forehead, and Nan Ziyan said, "It's you. If it were someone else who was fooled by the Ecstasy Pill, I would have sent her out to gain experience long ago."
"That girl is too cunning!" Liu Yuzhi said unhappily, "She was just like that during the martial arts competition. She only knows how to be clever."
"Don't tell me."
Blowing out another puff of smoke, Nan Ziyan said, "Don't look at that old fellow Nie Yanchen as unruly. He's actually very lucky. He picked up all these good disciples."
"Before it was Jin Nanfeng, and now there's Tu Nian."
Slowly narrowing her eyes, Nan Ziyan said with a subtle expression, "Yuqing is now ready to make a move, and the blue sea is just like the snow in the past. This girl came to us at this time, I'm afraid it's not just a simple information transaction."
Liu Yuzhi followed up the conversation and asked, "Then what else does she mean?"
"What does this have to do with you? Go learn pharmacology from Qingdai."
Glancing at her, Nan Ziyan raised her hand and called a girl not far away, "Instruct them to include pharmacology in the training schedule of all disciples from now on."
The girl responded and went to make the arrangements. Liu Yuzhi had a droopy face, looking depressed.
…
After leaving Yanyu, Tu Nian looked at the record on the scroll with a grim expression, "This shows that the last progress report was still near Tianzhu Mountain."
Jin Nanfeng and Yu Wenyi didn't say anything.
Someone was robbed, but the position did not change. The most likely possibility is that the other party had already torn up the ticket when he succeeded.
Considering the subconscious trust between fellow disciples and the fact that there has been no response to the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Note in the past ten days, it is very likely that Xu Chi has already...
Tu Nian didn't dare to think any further. She pursed her lips and looked at Jin Nanfeng. Her knuckles, clutching the scroll, began to turn white. "Big Brother, help me."
