Chapter 226: Catching Adultery

In the teahouse, Wu Xiu from major forces discussed the major events that had happened in the past few days.

"After the Zhu Gate was defeated, it was Zuoqiu Hong who stepped in to save Zhu Yibai."

"It is said that the Heartless Golden Ape also brought the demon Wu Xiu of Tianya Ridge to submit to the Zuoqiu Sect, not leaning towards the Far West Ash Region."

"Tianya Ridge is after all in the hinterland of the Southern Region, right under the nose of the Zuoqiu Sect, unlike Coffin Mountain located on the border of the Southern Region and Night City hidden in the Nether Realm of the Dead."

"The Zuoqiu Sect's prestige is growing day by day, almost unifying the Nancheng, and its overall strength is strong enough to wrestle with the imperial court and the Far West Ash Region!"

"Li Youyi and Yang Qingxi have been missing for five days, as if they had evaporated from the world; all forces have searched the whole city, but haven't even found a trace of them."

"It is said that they have already died at the hands of the strongmen of the Far West Ash Region; how could they escape alive after offending Luan Sheng Lin You?"

"Yang Qingxi's Dragon Seed Ticket has indeed fallen into the hands of Luan Sheng Lin You."

"It's a pity; killing a top expert like Hua Yuzi should have made them famous throughout the world."

Hearing this, Yang Qingxi sneered, about to open her mouth to ridicule.

Suddenly, a familiar strange laugh rang out: "Where did you hear that fake news? As far as I know, the two of them are hiding somewhere, carefree and happy! Have you heard of 'murmuring streams'?"

"Heard of him, heard of him. Everyone says Young Master Li has brilliant methods; whatever he says, he is sure to do. Whether it's defeating all the enemies in the world in five moves, or his bold words about the murmuring streams, he never misses his mark."

"If they hadn't really taken down Yang Qingxi, how could they join forces to fight the enemy given their life-and-death grievances?"

Under the veil, Yang Qingxi's face turned iron-blue, and she turned to look at Shi Liuyu and Shi Jiuzhai walking up the stairs, transmitting her voice to Li Youyi with magic power: "Is that filthy language really what you said?"

Li Youyi smiled bitterly, burying his head to give Shi, "Never let me hear that word again in my life."

Shi Liuyu sat down at the tea table where the two were, picked up tea to drink, looked at Li Youyi with a smile, and asked with great curiosity: "Little Li, how are the streams?"

"Dharma King, I'm right here!" Yang Qingxi tapped the table with her fingers and said coldly.

"Boom!"

Shi Jiuzhai kicked Shi Liuyu: "Saying it like that before didn't matter, after all, we were enemies. Now it's different; she is our sister-in-law, show some respect."

Shi Liuyu quickly cupped his fists and apologized to the two: "It's my fault, Sixth Brother; when you get married, I will definitely punish myself with three cups."

"No need for self-punishment, just settle the bill!"

Li Youyi got up and left, not daring to stay with Shi Liuyu and Shi Jiuzhai.

There were many people here, and seeing two Dharma Kings at the same table with them, someone would definitely suspect his and Yang Qingxi's identities.

Their identity and whereabouts might be exposed because of this.

Yang Qingxi followed closely behind, walking down the stairs quickly.

After walking out of the teahouse, the two walked on the bustling street.

Yang Qingxi said: "The two of them must have been sent by the old guy of the Jiuli clan, deliberately trying to expose your whereabouts, thereby splitting us up and forcing you back to the Nancheng. Li Youyi, let's part ways here!"

Li Youyi said: "I always feel that we should resolve the Six Desires Talisman first!"

"You help me save Yang Zhiyong, and I will immediately resolve it with you, and pay you a generous reward. Don't rush to refuse; with the rumors between you and me, if I go to Shi Shishi, he will definitely be happy to help me save people," Yang Qingxi laughed.

"Then go find him! I don't want to touch anything about your Sui Sect anymore."

Li Youyi turned and headed towards Evergreen Temple.

Yang Qingxi stared at his receding back, the smile in her eyes gradually fading. Li Youyi's firm heart exceeded her expectations; she used all means, but couldn't shake him at all.

It was impossible to conquer such a person!

Only at this moment did Yang Qingxi truly begin to think about whether to go all out to make peace, or to have the Sect Master kill him at all costs after the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival to prevent future trouble.

Yang Qingxi had a key question that she didn't mention to Li Youyi at all.

That was, the hatred between the Sui Sect and the Jiuli clan was destined to affect the two of them. The difficulty of making peace was far greater than eliminating hidden dangers.

Yang Qingxi's eyes were as calm as water, and she looked up from her deep thought, only to find that there was a crossroads ahead.

Returning to Evergreen Temple, Li Youyi was still ten zhang away from the guest hall where he and Yang Qingxi lived when he noticed someone inside.

He stopped and mobilized the magic power in his body.

Zuoqiu Ting's voice came from inside the room: "Returning alone, where is the eldest Miss Yang?"

Li Youyi walked over quickly, arrived at the door, looked at the three people in the room, and laughed: "How did you find this place?"

Zuoqiu Ting sat on a chair, holding a folding fan, legs crossed, facing the door.

Shi Shishi was lying on the bed with his butt in the air, sniffing around like a fat cat: "There's the smell of two people, brother Youyi, have you been sleeping for five days?"

Qi Xiao checked the table and windows, looking for suspicious traces.

"Admire!"

He gave Li Youyi a thumbs up, bowed, and said: "Please, Young Master Li, teach me the true scripture; how did you take down a woman like Yang Qingxi? She is one of the strongest among the young generation of women in the Southern Region, with strong methods, strong intellect, and strong ability."

Li Youyi walked into the room and sat in the seat next to Zuoqiu Ting: "What are you doing in the Eastern Region? Specifically here to catch adultery?"

"Haha!"

Zuoqiu Ting laughed: "If we wanted to catch adultery, we would have come three days ago, and we would have brought Li Ling. Look, brother, I'm righteous, right? I didn't bring a single Jiuli clan Wu Xiu, just afraid you would be in a difficult position in the middle."

"Three days ago, you knew we were at Evergreen Temple?" Li Youyi said.

"To be precise, the afternoon of the second day you hid in Evergreen Temple, I knew! But I was too busy at the time and knew you needed to heal, so I didn't disturb you."

Zuoqiu Ting said gravely: "Do you know what the biggest advantage of the Zuoqiu Sect is in this Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival? It's the eyes and ears spread all over every corner of the city."

"Being able to avoid this net for a day and a night, you're already awesome!"

Li Youyi asked: "Ready to make a move on the Longmen and the Lei Xiao Sect?"

"Can't I be here to visit you two fierce men and women who killed Hua Yuzi? Li Youyi, you did me a huge favor! Luan Sheng Lin You losing Hua Yuzi is no longer flawless, and his ability to act is greatly limited," Zuoqiu Ting said.

The location of the Longevity Pill ticket would be displayed on all First Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade invitations.

If Luan Sheng Lin You carried the Longevity Pill ticket with him, any action would expose his whereabouts in advance.

If he left the Longevity Pill ticket at the stronghold, without a top expert like Hua Yuzi guarding it, it would be easy for someone to raid his nest.

Zuoqiu Ting said: "I came to the Eastern Region not to deal with the Longmen and the Lei Xiao Sect, but precisely to protect them. Because tonight, the imperial court, the Far West Ash Region, and the Snow Sword Tang Court are preparing to join forces to send the two bugs of the Eastern Region out of the game and divide all the Longevity Pills, Dragon Seeds, and Dragon Bones in the Eastern Region."

Li Youyi instantly realized: "The next target of these three families is the Zuoqiu Sect?"

Zuoqiu Ting nodded: "Recently, the Zuoqiu Sect's momentum has been too great; if the three families weren't worried about the Longmen and the Lei Xiao Sect sitting back and reaping the benefits, they would be attacking us tonight."

"Now the existence of the Longmen and the Lei Xiao Sect has instead become a force to contain them."

Li Youyi muttered to himself: "No wonder..."

The appearance of Shi Liuyu and Shi Jiuzhai was originally to force him away from the storm vortex about to erupt in the Eastern Region; they were here to warn him.

Qi Xiao said: "Brother Youyi, you don't have a Dragon Seed Ticket or Dragon Bone Ticket yet, right? Do you want to take advantage of the chaos tonight to get one of each? Dharma King Shishi and I will help you."

"Many thanks for brother Qi's kindness, I'm not in a hurry for now."

Li Youyi was of course interested in the Due Temple's rewards, but always felt that being locked in identity and location was too dangerous, so he never took the initiative to seize them.

"Then you two help me seize them first," Shi Shishi said.

Li Youyi thought of something and looked at Zuoqiu Ting in surprise: "That's not right, with such a big formation tonight, you only brought the two of them to save the Longmen and the Lei Xiao Sect?"

Yang Qingxi took a carriage and returned to the Northern City.

Arriving in front of the Prefecture Governor's mansion gate, the carriage was intercepted by an imperial court martial arts expert who had cultivated the Sixth Sea of the Five Seas Realm, who shouted coldly: "Who comes? Don't you know the imperial court's rules? No carriages or idlers are allowed to approach within ten zhang of the Prefecture Governor's mansion; violators will be beheaded."

Yang Qingxi lifted the carriage curtain and walked out of the carriage door.

Outside, it was already surrounded by imperial court Wu Xiu, all looking alert.

Yang Qingxi took off her veil, revealing an exquisite and moving peerless face: "Sui Sect, Yang Qingxi! I don't know when the imperial court had this rule?"

"What, she is Yang Qingxi?"

"The Yang Qingxi who killed Hua Yuzi!"

"She wouldn't be an Ash Spirit, would she?"

The imperial court Wu Xiu holding spear magic weapons discussed in a boiling pot, some shocked, some in awe, some admiring.

Some Wu Xiu had already rushed into the Prefecture Governor's mansion gate to report.

Yang Qingxi knew that these imperial court Wu Xiu were all bullies who feared the strong, so she deliberately sneered proudly: "The number one expert under Luan Sheng Lin You died in my hands; what other Ash Spirit can peel my human skin?"

The Sixth Sea Wu Xiu from before quickly stepped forward to salute: "Master Yang, I am truly sorry. The dragon-fighting and tiger-struggling in Qiuzhouzhoucheng is becoming increasingly intense, and every day there are Wu Xiu and carriages carrying thunder magic and mysterious ice coming to break the gates and formations, so this rule was established. If there is any offense, please forgive me."

Jiang Ning personally came to the Prefecture Governor's mansion gate to welcome her, saying coldly: "Yang Qingxi, the Second Palace Master wants to see you!"

Yang Qingxi quickly restrained her pride, walked quickly into the gate, paused slightly beside Jiang Ning, and saluted: "What virtue or ability does Qingxi have to dare to disturb the angel to come out and welcome me."

Behind Jiang Ning, Zhuang Yue clenched her fists, her teeth nearly biting through, staring at Yang Qingxi who was going to pay respects to the Second Palace Master: "Look at her arrogant appearance! If it weren't for passing the Second Palace Master's order, why would Miss have to look at her face? Hua Yuzi wasn't killed by her alone!"

Jiang Ning stared at her: "The strength Yang Qingxi displayed is at the successor level, and she indeed made the first strange merit for the imperial court in the Hidden Dragon Lantern Festival. You, pay attention to your words in the future."
