The man in blue nodded, separated from the man in black, and then took a detour back to the inn and sat down at the table next to Lu Yunxi.
"Sorry, Brother Li, I'm late. You must have been waiting for a long time." The man in blue took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands properly before picking up the chopsticks.
The purple-robed man shook his head: "Brother Wang, I'm glad you're okay! Let's continue eating!"
Lu Yunxi ignored the two followers with exaggerated expressions around him. His spiritual consciousness silently followed the man in black, watching him run all the way into the palace and report the matter to the emperor.
The emperor didn't react at all. He just listened silently and waved his hand to let the man in black go away.
For a long time, he just sat in the chair blankly.
After retracting his spiritual sense, Lu Yunxi felt a little confused.
What on earth does he want to do by following me?
To be precise, this little tail is following people who have "practiced immortal magic."
After Lu Yunxi told the officer about his practice of immortal arts, he was followed by the man in blue and the man in purple.
But they followed him but never took any action.
...Could it be that they saw through my domineering aura and that’s why they didn’t dare to take action?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh.
After finishing the food on the table in a few bites, Lu Yunxi went to bed happily.
However, the two little tails beside her had sad faces.
"What should we do? Should we follow them?" The man in blue glanced stealthily towards the second floor.
"Of course not. If we go up now, wouldn't it be obvious that we are following her? We will ask for a room later!" The man in purple shook his head, signaling him not to be so anxious.
The two of them sat there anxiously, eating their meal with a tasteless taste.
It was their first time to carry out such a tracking mission, so they were a little nervous.
Lu Yunxi upstairs curled the corners of her lips, no longer paying attention to them, and simply fell asleep.
The man in blue and the man in purple finished their meal slowly, and when they felt it was about time, they went to the shopkeeper to book a room.
The shopkeeper looked at the two of them in surprise, his eyes darting back and forth between them, his tone rather strange: "You two want to book a room?"
The two of them didn't think about anything at all, and were only thinking about what happened to the girl just now, so they urged: "Yes, yes! One room will do!"
It’s not that they don’t want to book two more rooms, but they have to pay for the booking themselves. If they really don’t find any useful information after following the girl, all the money will be wasted!
The shopkeeper nodded and handed them a key: "Go ahead! It's Room A on the ground floor."
Only then did the two of them notice that the shopkeeper seemed to be hesitant to speak, and they couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Scratching their heads, unable to understand what he was thinking, they didn't think any more about it and hurried upstairs.
As soon as they entered the room, they locked the door, walked to the left side of the wall, pressed their ears against the wall, and began to listen to the movements in the next room.
"...drug...cannot take the imperial examination..."
"Task……"
The two only heard a few vague key words, but soon they confirmed that this was not the person they were looking for.
After all, they were following a girl, not a man!
The two of them moved a little further and came to the wall on the right.
This time it was a woman's voice, and their eyes lit up.
However--
"Go up the mountain in three days... pretend to be bandits and get rid of them... then set fire to them..."
"Without that woman, the prince will definitely marry me..."
After hearing this, the two of them were immediately disappointed.
Although they have not had much contact with people who practiced immortal arts, they think that such fairies would not kill and set fire for the sake of a prince!
Taking a step back, even if the girl really wanted to do this, she could have done it herself! A person who knows immortal magic, why would she need to let others do it!
Thinking that neither side was the person they wanted to follow, they immediately lost their spirits and lay lazily on the ground like deflated balloons.
At this moment, their door was suddenly kicked open.
The two of them widened their eyes as they watched something fly out from in front of them and fall from the balcony into the door on the first floor.
After a long while, they turned around and swallowed.
The person standing outside was a man wearing a conical hat.
"What is this for?!"
"Isn't it rude to suddenly barge into someone else's house?!"
He lifted the curtain of his hat and looked at them gloomily.
Hearing their words, he laughed as if he had encountered something funny. "Impolite? I think it's even more impolite for you to eavesdrop on us!"
The two men gasped, realizing immediately that this was the same room they had heard the two men plotting something in! They hadn't expected to be caught eavesdropping!
Thinking of the consequences of being caught, the two men looked extremely unhappy and refused to admit it.
"What nonsense are you talking about?! Why should we eavesdrop on your conversation?!"
"Yeah! Could it be that you have some great secret?"
The man in the bamboo hat didn't care what they said. He clenched his fists and rushed forward.
The two were severely beaten and warned: "If I find out that you are spreading rumors, I will kill you myself!"
The two dared not move after receiving a threatening glare.
Not long after the man in the bamboo hat left, the neighbors on the other side also came out - two women with gloomy faces.
They looked at them strangely but didn't say anything.
