Zhu Yao had never been so thankful for Xiao Yi's protagonist halo. Looking at the queen's reaction earlier, there was no longer any problem with his life, and he might even be able to help his teammates.
To be able to fool even a Demigod-stage female practitioner, as expected, Xiao Yi was using his life to pick up girls.
The world was changing too quickly. She really wanted to chew on a packet of spicy gluten to calm down, if only her lower jaw was fine.
In the next two days, Zhu Yao and Zi Dan's lives were especially peaceful. No more guards brought them out to watch the live version of VHS movies. It was actually very painful, but her lower jaw was successfully reattached.
Just when they thought they were about to be forgotten by the queen, the queen made a high-profile appearance. This time, she did not wear those see-through light muslin, but ordinary clothes. Although it was still very flirtatious, at least she wore shoes.
The queen coldly looked at the two people in the prison, and lazily said. "Initially, I wanted to kill you two to avoid being an eyesore, but he said you two are his senior-martial brothers. Although I hate senior-martial brothers the most, I promised him to let you two go, so I'll give you two a chance to live."
Rui Yu waved her hand, and the restriction on the door was removed. "Why aren't you coming out?"
Seeing them walk out, Rui Yu cast an art, and the sealed mystic energy instantly began to circulate again. Zhu Yao's first reaction was to cast a recovery mystic art on her lower jaw, to ease the pain from the forced reattachment of her lower jaw.
Rui Yu cast a disdainful look at her action. A grown man was actually afraid of such a small pain.
Zhu Yao curled her lips without minding it. She had experienced even more painful things, but she could not endure the pain for two days.
"Let's go, he wants to see you two." Rui Yu once again glared at her, turned around, and walked out.
Among the three, only Zi Dan still had a blank look. Zhu Yao, however, knew that the person they wanted to see was definitely Xiao Yi.
They arrived at a garden, and Xiao Yi was standing by the side of a pond with his immaculate clothes.
"Senior-martial brothers." Xiao Yi walked over. Rui Yu, however, welcomed him, and immediately held onto Xiao Yi's hand, as she looked at the two people in front of her provocatively.
"Junior-martial brother Xiao. You're … "Zi Dan frowned, and looked at the two people back and forth. His expression was filled with disapproval. Could it be that junior-martial brother Xiao was going to associate with heretic practitioners?
A hint of uneasiness flashed past Xiao Yi's face, as he explained the course of events to the two of them. However, the content of the story was how pitiful Rui Yu's life was. She had no choice but to become an evil cultivator. After his advice, she had repented. He hoped that everyone could put down their prejudices and forgive her.
Zhu Yao was shocked. So he wasn't acting earlier. The words that Xiao Yi said in that room, were all from the bottom of his heart. It was not a sudden impulse, or a sudden inspiration. In other words, he truly pitied this evil cultivator who specialized in sucking men's essence from the bottom of his heart.
Zi Dan was dumbstruck as well, and when he finished listening, his face had already turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Although Zi Dan was an optimistic and optimistic fatty who usually did not have a temper and was easy to talk to, he was, after all, a Mountain Lord, and the core strength of Ancient Hill Sect. They grew up under the red flag and took root in the Immortal Sect. When Xiao Yi said this. He was definitely going to betray the Immortal Sect.
Zi Dan's complexion turned from black to purple, and on his chubby hands, even the veins were about to pop out. Just as he was about to charge forward and fight, Zhu Yao grabbed onto him.
"Senior-martial brother, don't forget the reason why we're here."
Zi Dan glanced at her, and only then did he suppress the raging storm in his eyes. Turning his head, he no longer looked at Xiao Yi.
Seeing that the two of them did not resist, Rui Yu coldly snorted. "Hmph, at least you two know your place."
The veins on Zi Dan's hands once again popped out.
Zhu Yao, however, had long gotten used to it. Ever since Xiao Yi was ten, she knew that there was a problem with this child's worldview. However, when he said such words, she was indeed a little shocked as well. No matter how pitiful Rui Yu's life was, no matter how forced she was, it was a fact that she used men's essence to cultivate. Now that she had risen to a Demigod, who knew how many white bones had been accumulated behind her. How could a single 'I had no choice' negate it?
Her life was pitiful, but in this world, there were as many pitiful lives as the hairs on a cow. If everyone was like her, then what would this world become? There was a good saying. Life was given by the heavens, but the road was walked by oneself. Some people lived in heaven, yet, they could walk the devil's path. Some people lived in hell, yet, they could still live the splendor of heaven. The decision had always been in one's own hands, and all of the involuntary actions, were actually excuses to fall into depravity.
"We'll discuss this matter in the future." Zhu Yao said. "Have you found a way to save your master?" She did not care about picking up girls, as long as he still remembered his own master.
Xiao Yi was startled for a moment, and only then did he realize that he had actually placed Rui Yu's matter in the first place, and had forgotten about his own master. A hint of guilt surfaced on his face, before he replied. "Yucang City's territory is too vast. I'm afraid, regarding the search, we have to think about it at length."
"There's no need to think about it at length." Zhu Yao waved her hand. "We don't have that much time. I have a method that we can try."
— — — —
There were too many people in Yucang City. She did not know how long it would take for them to investigate one by one. And, since Chen Zi dared to enter, he definitely had a way to not be discovered. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so fearless as to kill people in the city.
Zhu Yao's method was very simple. Although the number of people could not be too few, it would be fine if she just sent people out. Of course, not everyone could leave the city, but all heretic practitioners with Wood Spirit Veins. Feng Yi possessed the Wood Attribute Heavenly Spirit Vein, so her body would definitely be filled with wood spiritual energy. Under the situation where there were no Wood Spirit Veins in the entire city, she would have the Wood Spirit sense where the wood spiritual energy was the densest, and Feng Yi would be there.
Of course, she could not tell them that she possessed the Wood Spirit, so the person who would sense it, would be her, who possessed the Wood Attribute Heavenly Spirit Vein as well.
This was also the best method she could think of in these two days.
When Zhu Yao finished speaking, Xiao Yi and Zi Ling felt that this method was feasible as well.
Although Rui Yu was a little unwilling, looking at Xiao Yi's face, she still issued a city lord's order, ordering all the people in the city who possessed the Wood Attribute Spirit Vein to leave the city, and they were not allowed to enter for the next three days.
In just a morning, there was not a single heretic practitioner with the Wood Spirit Vein left in Yucang City.
Zhu Yao sat in a lotus position, and looked as though she was sensing the wood spiritual energy, but in reality, she was probing deep into her divine sense.
"Wood Spirit, sense it again. How many places in the city have wood spiritual energy? "
"Chick ~" The Wood Spirit tilted its head, pondered for a moment, and then, obediently stretched out a vine. "Chick!"
This was the transportation method they had agreed on earlier, one vine meant one.
"Very good. Now, tell me, which direction is it in. "
"Chick ~" The vine quickly turned into an arrow, and pointed towards the left direction. That was the west.
"Good job!"
Zhu Yao praised it. Only then did she open her eyes, and inform her teammates who were waiting for news.
"It's in the west."
Xiao Yi and Zi Ling exchanged glances. One summoned his spiritual artifact, while the other summoned his spiritual beast, and walked out of the door. Naturally, Zhu Yao followed them as well, and flew towards the west of the city.
Zhu Yao communicated with the Wood Spirit while pointing the way. As he pointed the way, they soon arrived at a dilapidated house.
This place should be the most secluded place in the city, as there was not a single person in the surroundings. It was an ordinary house with two rooms, and it was completely empty inside.
"This is the place you sensed." Rui Yu had unknowingly followed over, and looked at her with a cold smile.
Xiao Yi frowned. "Why did you follow me here?"
Rui Yu glanced at him coquettishly. "Because I was worried about you."
Xiao Yi did not reply. Looking at his expression, he seemed to be enjoying it a little.
Zhu Yao silently rolled her eyes. Pulling Zi Ling who was about to explode, she took a step back. After all, Xiao Yi had saved them. No matter how he did not reject anyone, it was not their turn to speak.
"I have indeed sensed a very dense wood spiritual energy in this direction." The little Wood Spirit basically did not develop any deceptive abilities, so naturally, it would not be wrong for it to point in this direction.
Zi Ling scratched his head, and was a little anxious. "Little brother. Everything could be seen at a glance, not to mention the inside of the house. Not to mention the inside of this house, there isn't a single person in the surrounding few kilometers. "
Zhu Yao once again entered the house to take a look. Immediately after, she went to the other house to take a look.
"Don't you guys feel that …" Zhu Yao pointed to this house. "There's a little problem with the structure of these two houses."
Each of the two houses was not even fifteen square meters, however, the area occupied by this house was close to forty square meters. Excluding the public stalls, at least five square meters of space was missing.
"You're saying …" Zi Ling's eyes shone. Exchanging glances with Xiao Yi, they reacted at the same time.
Together, they flew to the roof, and lifted a large piece of roof tile in the middle. Both of their faces were filled with joy at the same time. "There's another room in the middle!"
Rui Yu retracted her mocking and ridiculing expression as well. With a wave of her hand, she summoned a huge gust of wind, and instantly lifted the entire roof. Together with the two people on the roof, they jumped into the room in the middle that did not have a door.
Zhu Yao flew in as well.
"Little brother, you're really something, to actually be able to discover something like this." Zi Ling patted on her shoulders and praised.
Zhu Yao jolted from the pat of his big fat paw, and immediately stood a little further away. Could she say, that she had seen this through her experience of looking at houses in the modern era?
It was not easy to buy a house in the modern era, and there were even black-hearted developers who would frequently cut down on the size of the house. She had all of this through training.
"What's the use of discovering a dark room?" Rui Yu continued to use her mocking technique. "Isn't it still empty?"
Zhu Yao sized up her surroundings. Indeed, this was still an empty room. Compared to the dilapidated room outside, other than being filled with dust, this room was not even dilapidated. It was as though no one had entered it before.
She walked one round around the corner of the room, and did not discover anything. However, she faintly felt that the floor was a little slippery. Sweeping away the dust to take a look, she saw that the floor was actually paved with stone slabs, and there were even some carvings on it.
"There's something on the floor."
When Rui Yu heard that, she immediately formed hand seals with both of her hands, and released a large area of wind-type mystic energy. In an instant, the surrounding winds blew violently, and the walls were instantly blown away as well. When it stopped, the perfectly good three-room house only had a piece of floorboard left.
What kind of grudge do you have with houses? Have you ever considered the feelings of someone who would not be able to earn a single set in his entire life?
"What's this carving?" Xiao Yi asked.
The moment the dust was blown away, the things carved on the floor were revealed. There were a total of nine carvings, and they were arranged neatly. The patterns on them were all different. They were not any kind of symbols or imprints, nor were they formations. Furthermore, they had never been seen before.
Rui Yu, Zi Dan, and Xiao Yi stared at them for a moment, yet, not a single one of them could see what was carved on the floor. (To be continued)
