Chapter 659

"With your current status, why don't you take the initiative to ask him?" The Jinlian Taoist priest was puzzled.

"After all, Count Pingyuan is a hereditary noble. Without evidence, I can't resort to violence. Moreover, normal investigations are bound. If I want to get answers, I have to use both light and dark means, "Xu Qi 'an explained casually.

"Taoism is a well-deserved leader in the field of Primordial Spirit. He should be able to 'cooperate' and tell me all the information he can, right?"

"… You're quite experienced. This doesn't match your previous life and experience." The Jinlian Taoist priest nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"Some cars look new, but in fact, they're frighteningly long," Xu Qi 'an said seriously.

"What do you mean?" The Jinlian Taoist priest frowned.

"I mean, you've only seen the surface of me. A person's life is always more exciting than the words on the dossier." Xu Qi 'an shrugged.

"That makes sense." The Jinlian Taoist priest did not continue this topic. He said, "Open your mind. I'll go into your sea of consciousness."

"You're using your Primordial Spirit again?" Xu Qi 'an asked warily.

"Hehe, my body is injured, so my strength is greatly reduced. But my Yin Spirit is intact, so I can better use my strength.

"There's a curfew in the inner city, so I can't go out with you openly. I can hide an ordinary gong, but if Jinluo sees it, it won't do either of us any good. Besides, there are many hidden talents in the capital. The threat doesn't only come from the night watchman. "

"You're right, but it's too much to want to change my Primordial Spirit into your own shape … Besides, we're not that close …" Xu Qi 'an frowned.

Although he trusted the Jinlian Taoist priest, he had not reached the point where he would let the other's Primordial Spirit invade his sea of consciousness.

Moreover, he could not guarantee that the Jinlian Taoist priest would not spy on some of his secrets, such as the memory of his previous life, or Fu Xiang's round and white buttocks.

The Jinlian Taoist priest shook his head. "Then what should I do?"

At this moment, a shrill cat's cry came from the roof. Xu Qi 'an smiled and pointed to the top of his head. "Sorry, Taoist priest."

"…"

…

After changing into the night watchman's uniform, Xu Qi 'an openly left the small courtyard. Along the way, he met a Royal Sword Guard. When they saw his uniform, they did not even bother to ask him anything. They only wondered why there was a black cat standing on his shoulder.

The only time Xu Qi 'an would be stopped was when he ran into a fellow night watchman. But as long as he took out his gold medal and said that he was investigating the case, all problems could be solved.

Xu Qi 'an did not deliberately, but with his current speed, he reached the vicinity of Count Pingyuan's Residence in an hour.

Looking around to make sure that there was no one around, he found a quiet corner and tore out a page from the magic book. On it was recorded the method of concealing one's eyes with a leaf.

"to."

The Qi ignited the paper, and an invisible force enveloped Xu Qi 'an and the black cat.

"The Confucian School's law follows its words …" The black cat's orange eyes stared at the scene. The Jinlian Taoist priest suddenly thought of many details.

No wonder Number Three wanted to portray himself as a student of Yunlu Academy. It was not only because his cousin was a student of the academy, but he himself seemed to have a great relationship with the academy.

Otherwise, how could he have a book with inscribed spells?

The Jinlian Taoist priest immediately ruled out the option of his cousin giving it to him. First of all, an ordinary student would not be treated so kindly by a great scholar.

Secondly, how could a student give away such a treasure so easily? He might not even be willing to use it.

The scholars of Yunlu Academy had always looked down on Warrior, so why would they give him such a treasure? While the Jinlian Taoist priest was thinking about this, he saw Xu Qi 'an pull out a cloak from the fragment of the Book of the Underworld and cover himself.

Why are you so familiar with it … The black cat shook its head.

"Before the operation, I thought of two trivial things and wanted to ask you, Taoist priest." Xu Qi 'an's face was covered in the cloak.

"Speak!" The black cat shook the air and spoke in human language.

"Is the spirit dragon only close to the royal family?"

"In theory."

"In theory?"

"The spirit dragon likes to eat purple gas, but not the royal family." The black cat explained.

Xu Qi 'an pondered and nodded, "There's one more thing. I went to the imperial city to investigate a case today and heard that the spirit dragon went crazy for no reason. Even the guards couldn't control it. It almost hurt Princess Lin An."

The black cat did not speak for a long time.

"Taoist priest?"

The black cat looked around vigilantly and the Jinlian Taoist priest's solemn voice was heard, "The sealed artifact under Sampo has entered the city …"

"Why do you think so?"

"The spirit dragon is born with the Qi Observation Spell, and it's not something ordinary Qi Cultivation Spell can compare with. It can sense things that ordinary people can't."

No wonder Chu Caiwei couldn't see anything abnormal with her Qi Observation Spell. She's not good at it … Is this why the spirit dragon wants to lick my boots? It can see my strange luck … Does that mean the Supervisor can see it too?

Xu Qi 'an was shocked by this guess.

The sealed artifact of Sampo has entered the city … The spirit dragon felt threatened, so it went crazy and wanted to escape the imperial city … Tomorrow, I'll think of a way to reveal this to Wei Yuan.

After ending the conversation, Xu Qi 'an stuck to the courtyard walls and reached the backyard of Count Pingyuan's residence. He jumped over the wall.

After landing, he looked around cautiously and confirmed that the sound of clothes fluttering in the air did not disturb the masters in the residence.

Count Pingyuan's residence was vast. According to living habits, the master usually lived in the largest courtyard in the east.

Xu Qi 'an used the Blinding Leaf spell to avoid several groups of patrolling guards and arrived at the largest courtyard in the east.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, his ears twitched. He heard a high-pitched, undisguised moan. And the heavy breathing of a man.

"… I really came at the wrong time." Xu Qi 'an cursed and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

He felt under the window and gathered his Qi with his finger. He pierced through the flexible paper window and looked through the tiny hole.

The hole happened to face the master bedroom, and the movements of the two people on the bed fell into Xu Qi 'an's eyes. But because of the thin bed curtain, he could only see the rise and fall of the quilt and hear the women's lewd moans.

"Pfft …"

At this moment, he heard a soft sound above his head. It was the sound of a cat's claws piercing through the paper window.

Xu Qi 'an looked up and saw the black cat standing on its hind legs above his head. Its two front paws were pressed against the window, and its face was pressed against the hole as it watched intently.

"Taoist priest, you like this too …" The corner of Xu Qi 'an's mouth twitched.

"He should be the legitimate son of Count Pingyuan. Let's just rush in." Xu Qi 'an suggested.

"We'll go in after it's over. That's when men are the most relaxed." The Jinlian Taoist priest rejected Xu Qi 'an's suggestion.

"No, Taoist priest, you'll regret it. You don't know how scary Warrior is. After all, we are the masters of Tao Wu …" Xu Qi 'an complained in his heart.

After the time it took for two sticks of incense to burn …

The Jinlian Taoist priest looked down at Xu Qi 'an. "Alright, I admit that you're right."

The woman's voice went from hoarse to begging for mercy. Finally, she seemed to have fainted. After a long time, the man growled in a low voice. It was over.

"Tsk, tsk. That's it. The first time I slept with Fu Xiang, I lasted until midnight …" Xu Qi 'an thought happily. He was about to go around the front door, sneak into the house, and subdue the man with lightning speed.

But at this moment, Xu Qi 'an suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He had goosebumps, as if there were blood-colored thorns piercing through his flesh.

An inexplicable fear filled his mind.

"Something's coming …" The Jinlian Taoist priest's voice was unprecedentedly heavy.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qi 'an heard the shouts of the guards from afar. "Who is it? How dare you trespass into Count Pingyuan's residence … Ah …"

Halfway through his sentence, it turned into a scream.

Then, the fluctuation of an explosion spread out, and the screams rose and fell. Soon, it was dead silent again.

The legitimate son of Count Pingyuan, who had already entered the Sage Stage, heard the commotion. Without even putting on his clothes, he quickly jumped out of bed, took the sword hanging on the wall, and rushed out of the house with an ugly expression.

A man wrapped in a black robe appeared in the courtyard. His face was hidden in a hood, and the aura he emitted made Xu Qi 'an's legs tremble. All he wanted to do was run.

The black cat arched its back, its long fur standing on end, and its vertical pupils rapidly contracted. Its abnormality to a certain extent represented the current emotions of the Jinlian Taoist priest.

"Who are you?" The legitimate son of Count Pingyuan asked in a trembling voice.

His legs, his arms, his facial muscles … were trembling uncontrollably and spasming.

"I'm here to collect a debt." A hoarse voice came from the hood. The black-robed man raised his head, revealing a pale face with rather handsome features.

He had a pair of dark eyes, and his pupils seemed to occupy the entire eye sockets. There was no white in his eyes.

Xu Qi 'an did not know who he was, but he memorized the man's appearance and tried to guess his identity.

"It's you, it's you …" The legitimate son of Count Pingyuan screamed in extreme fear, "You're already dead, I saw you die with my own eyes …"

"I died, but I crawled out of hell." The black-robed man's voice was hoarse as he raised his right hand. His hands looked like they came from the devil. They were completely blood-red, and the veins on them bulged. The moment he saw these hands, Xu Qi 'an's heart exploded with fear.

"Whoosh …" The blood-red palm swelled up a cyclone, and Count Pingyuan's legitimate son was sucked into the palm.

"Help, help me … Someone, someone come …"

The legitimate son of Count Pingyuan's legitimate son's legs flailed wildly. Suddenly, his flesh shriveled, and he turned into a mummy in an instant.

He had been alive just a moment ago, but he had lost his life the next moment.

A mummy?! Xu Qi 'an felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his mind.

The black-robed man chuckled viciously, and then began to circulate his Qi as if to vent his anger. Bang … The mummy exploded into fine powder.

After killing the legitimate son of Count Pingyuan, the black-robed man turned around and stared coldly at the place where Xu Qi 'an was hiding.

He opened his palm towards the bottom of the window. Whoosh … The cyclone of energy appeared once more.

Shit … Xu Qi 'an's feet planted firmly on the ground as he leaned back. He slowly approached the black-robed man's palm that seemed to be devouring his life.

Xu Qi 'an reached into his robes and pulled out the Vigor Pill that Chu Caiwei had given him. He crushed the porcelain bottle and stuffed the pill into his mouth.

Then, he pressed down on the hilt of his black-gold long saber and calmed his emotions.

Clang!

A dark-gold saber light flashed in the darkness of the night. Ding! The bright red arm of the black-robed man splashed with a series of sparks.

The web between Xu Qi 'an's thumb and forefinger split open, and the muscles of his right arm that gripped the saber spasmed violently.

This is an enemy that I can't slash through with a single slash … And in the face of such an enemy, the sword intent imparted to me by the secret manual isn't to slash once more, but to flee.

"Run!"

The black cat trembled the air as it spat out the human tongue. At the same time, it leaped into the air and pounced towards the black-robed man.

Amidst the turbulence of Qi, the black cat's body disintegrated in mid-air. The Jinlian Taoist priest's Primordial Spirit materialized and slammed into the black-robed man.

Take care, Taoist priest … Xu Qi 'an didn't look at the black-robed man any longer. He seized the opportunity to break free from the cyclone of energy, leaped onto the roof, and leaped over the wall to escape.
