Chapter 213 Inviting Guests
"Xiaoxiao, everything was normal for half a month after you left. But half a month ago, when I went to the back mountain to pick fruit, I ran into a group of men in black who seemed to be looking for something. They spotted me before I could even get close."
"By the way, this time is different from last time..." Ping An paused here, frowned, and seemed to be struggling with how to express himself.
Nan Xiao stayed by her side quietly, without interrupting her thoughts.
Ping An's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "I don't know if what I said is right, but this time there's a young man who looks like a god among the group of men in black."
She smiled shyly, "Xiaoxiao, I don't understand what you cultivators call him. In the eyes of ordinary people like us, he is just like a young master from a wealthy family, with a group of subordinates."
"You understand what I mean?"
Nan Xiao nodded: "Yeah, I understand."
Isn’t he just the boss of the men in black?
Ping An smiled faintly and continued, "After I was discovered, the men in black wanted to kill me, with the knife at my neck. I thought I'd take some people with me, so I took out the bomb you gave me. I didn't expect that the young master would let them let me go, so I saved my life."
"Afterwards, I told the villagers that there were monsters roaming the mountains again and asked them not to go. I was afraid myself, so I stayed at the village entrance, thinking that if the men in black entered the village, I could use bombs to hold them off for a while."
After listening.
Nan Xiao said gently, "Ping An is such a brave girl."
Although she downplayed the incident, it is not difficult to imagine how terrifying the scene was.
A girl who is weak and powerless facing a group of ferocious practitioners must have a strong mental quality to be able to think of using a bomb to die together with the other party in such a situation.
It's also my fault for not thinking things through. I thought I'd be back in three or five days, but it took so long.
Fortunately, they are all fine.
…
A group of people were talking, and their backs were getting farther and farther away.
The man in black, hiding in the shadows, took it all in. When the group's figures completely disappeared from view, he quietly left, as if he had never appeared.
The man in black returned to the camping site with ease. There was silence all around, with only a few simple tents swaying slightly in the wind.
There were men in black standing guard all around the camp.
In the center of the camp, a young man in purple sat leisurely under the shade of a tree, wiping the bow in his hand as if no one was around.
The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting light and shadows that flow over the young man.
The boy focused on the movements of his hands, his slender fingers slowly stroking the bow, his eyes revealing his love for the bow.
The man in black stopped in front of the young man, leaned forward respectfully and said, "Young Master, as you expected, a group of sect disciples have entered the village."
Mingcheng's hands kept moving, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his expression was calm and composed, as if everything was under control.
He asked casually, "Well, did you see who it was?"
The man in black placed the recording stone he had prepared early in the morning in front of Mingcheng, and the picture began to play.
Mingcheng's wiping action suddenly stopped, and his eyes were attracted by the girl in the picture.
After not seeing her for a few years, the little girl has grown a lot taller.
Mingcheng was a little worried. If it was a disciple from another sect, it would be easy to deal with him, whether by killing or tying him up. But if it was this little girl, it would be really difficult to deal with.
Not to mention that he was bound by the mark of oath, this little girl was full of schemes and wanted to plot against her.
Disaster.
He wanted to find the crystal here without anyone noticing and take it away quietly, but his hope was slim.
Mingcheng sighed and gradually recalled what happened a month ago.
Since the third team hadn't returned yet, he knew something had probably happened.
So I decided to come and look for him in person.
He originally wanted to capture the villagers of this small village directly, and then have his men pretend to be villagers and slowly investigate.
But he didn't expect to be caught by a villager the next day.
He's just an ordinary person. If he sees it, then he sees it. There's no need to hide. At worst, he'll just be killed.
However, when the villager took out the bomb, he recognized it at a glance.
That little girl did it.
For an ordinary villager to have such a powerful bomb, it must have been given by the little girl herself.
It can be seen that the villager has a close relationship with this little girl.
Then he changed his mind and wanted to use secret methods to change the villager's memory, but thinking that the little girl could see it, he gave up.
But an ordinary person is not worth his effort. He won’t live long in a few decades.
…
The man in black had been secretly paying attention to Mingcheng's reaction. Seeing that his eyes were always on the human girl, he couldn't help but have some more thoughts in his mind.
Could it be that the young master has taken a fancy to this human disciple?
No, he wants to pass this news to the Demon Lord.
This is a big deal for their demon clan.
The scene ended, and Ming Cheng withdrew his gaze. His expression was calm, and he gave the order directly: "If nothing unexpected happens, these sect disciples will enter the mountain in the next few days. Keep your bodies hidden and don't reveal your tracks."
"Also, keep an eye on her."
Mingcheng thought for a moment and added, "But, you are not allowed to hurt her."
He had a hunch that the little girl must also know about the crystal mine.
Others may not be able to find it, but that girl is very smart, and maybe there will be unexpected surprises if we follow her.
After all, this is the foot of the Xiaoyao Sect, so he didn't dare to make any big moves, otherwise it would easily attract those old guys in the sect.
"Yes, young master, I will do it right away."
The man in black took the order and immediately conveyed Mingcheng's instructions to his subordinates.
He turned around and found a deserted place and quietly sent a message to the Demon Lord.
"Urgent report, Master, the Young Master seems to have taken a fancy to a human disciple."
After sending it, he also attached a portrait of Nan Xiao.
…
Demonic Realm.
The smell of blood has not yet dissipated.
Ming Ye Gang used extremely cruel methods to kill a demon traitor, with blood dripping from his fingertips.
He casually wiped his palms with a handkerchief and threw it aside.
A servant looked at the still-warm corpse and swallowed silently. With an even more humble and respectful attitude, he stepped forward, holding the magic jade respectfully in both hands, and whispered, "My Lord, there's news from Black Thirteen, who is with the Young Master."
Mingye's expression remained unchanged, his eyes cold as he spoke casually, "Oh, so now the news is spreading. Has the crystal mine been found?"
The attendant lowered his head and replied submissively, "It has something to do with the young master."
Mingye raised his eyes slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his dark eyes.
"Bring it here, let me take a look."
"yes."
After reading the message, Mingye raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
"Interesting."
He called out, "Xuan Si."
As soon as he finished speaking, a silent black shadow appeared in front of him.
"My Lord, I am here."
Mingye threw the magic jade in front of him and said, "Bring this human girl back for a look."
Xuan Si: "Yes."
Mingye pondered for a moment and added, "Bring her back safely. We're here as guests, so try not to hurt her."
If this is really the boy's sweetheart, wouldn't she get into trouble with him if she was hurt?
"yes."
Xuan Si left.
After a while, a demon guard dragged the corpse away.
Ming Ye was in a rare good mood. He looked at the attendant beside him and said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
The attendant spoke hesitantly, "My Lord, if you want to see that human disciple, just have Black Thirteen bring him back. Xuan Four is here to protect your safety."
Mingye chuckled: "Hei Shisan follows his master and is unreliable in his work."
"Your Excellency is right."
