Chapter 80

Seeming to understand the two's confusion, Mo Mo Xingjian said solemnly: "Because you are the most suitable."

Zhou Qing met his Master's gaze, seeming to understand something, and said: "So, we are the bait this time?"

Yan Xiao couldn't help but shudder.

Mo Mo Xingjian shook his head: "They shouldn't make a move against you again. For the sake of a Foundation Establishment realm cultivator, they wasted a Deputy Director who had been lurking for many years. Even if they killed you, there would be no sense of achievement, and it would make them look like they lack vision."

"Then why are we the most suitable?" Yan Xiao asked, puzzled.

After all, the spirit rice feeds the entire Taiqingmen, not just the Little Spirit Peak.

Mo Mo Xingjian sighed and said: "Someone saw the Second Miss appear there."

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiao were instantly energized.

"Second Senior Sister is in Green Wood City?"

Mo Mo Xingjian shook his head: "I don't know. That girl is too cautious. She has been out for three full years without returning, and I don't know where she went. When you get there, you can use your tokens to send a message and ask; perhaps you might be able to connect with her."

"Each one of them is so worrying, and they don't even know how to send word that they are safe."

After hearing this, the two also sighed.

They didn't expect that three years had already passed, and they missed the Second Yuan Shijie immensely.

In the past, when Master lectured them, the Second Yuan Shijie was always the first to protect them, and even Master was a little afraid of her.

If calculated this way, they were indeed the most suitable; after all, others hadn't added the Second Yuan Shijie as a friend, and even if they had, they wouldn't put their heart into inquiring.

"By the way, there's also this. If you really encounter any danger, you can activate it, and I will arrive via teleportation in at most half an incense stick's time!"

Mo Mo Xingjian handed the two a silver scroll.

"This item is called a Space Scroll, divided into a parent and child scroll. What you have in your hands is the child scroll, and the parent scroll is with me. You know the recent situation; we really can't get away, with a huge pile of things to handle," Mo Mo Xingjian explained.

With this good item, the two couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment and said: "Then Master, regarding Senior Uncle Gao Xuan..."

Mo Mo Xingjian frowned: "Your Sect Master Senior Uncle also went to look at that cave. The various traces are indeed his cultivation techniques and divine abilities. According to the Sect Master, if there really were an impostor, that place should have been destroyed long ago; how could traces be left for later people to see?"

"Moreover, the Sect Master also asked Gao Xuan indirectly, and he generously admitted that he had indeed encountered an ambush there and eventually killed the attacker. It was an old enemy he had encountered before; he didn't know when the other party recognized him and followed him all the way here."

"More importantly, your Senior Uncle Gao Xuan's soul fire has never been extinguished. Furthermore, when you two were assassinated, it was he who appeared at the critical moment to save you."

Hearing Mo Mo Xingjian's words, Zhou Qing opened his mouth, suddenly not knowing what to say.

"Don't worry, I have it in mind and will naturally pay more attention in the future," Mo Mo Xingjian said slowly.

Zhou Qing sighed softly. He truly had no evidence in his hands, so he could only say: "Master should still take more precautions to prevent any mishaps."

"I know. After you go back, prepare as soon as possible and set off early. After all, the matter in Green Wood City has been happening for more than two months, and the journey will take another half a month," Mo Mo Xingjian urged.

Afterward, the two bowed and left.

And at this moment, no one noticed that outside the window, a blue paper crane was gently flapping its wings and flew away silently...

…………

Regarding the matter of going to Green Wood City, Zhou Qing actually had no resistance; instead, he felt a bit of anticipation.

After all, he finally had a chance to see the Second Yuan Shijie.

Besides being relatively steady, the Second Yuan Shijie was actually very beautiful, and belonged to the type that becomes more attractive the more you look at her.

It's a pity that in order not to attract attention, the Second Yuan Shijie didn't dress up much, and she looked very simple and low-key.

As for danger, the cultivation techniques he had mastered could protect him to a certain extent, and what's more, there was the Third Zhou Shixiong and the parent-child scroll.

Looking at the old hen sleeping in the chicken coop, he hurriedly started packing.

At the same time, Yan Xiao also sent messages to his eight followers, but unexpectedly, after just a while, a man with a disheveled appearance and a swollen face came to his residence.

His eyes, which were not large to begin with, were now squeezed into two thin slits, almost invisible, and his mouth was swollen high, making his speech indistinct and stammering.

Seeing his appearance, Yan Xiao was truly startled.

"Niu Niu Guangmo, what happened to you? How did you become like this?" Yan Xiao asked hurriedly.

Niu Niu Guangmo's bloated eyes flickered, but he still bowed and said: "Boss, today... it was truly... truly too unlucky. I don't know where a... Spirit Thorn Bee... popped out from... I didn't dodge it..."

"Enough, enough, stop talking. This is indeed unlucky enough. What's the situation now?" Yan Xiao hurriedly interrupted and asked.

Niu Niu Guangmo said: "I've already taken... the antidote, but for a while... it won't go down. I'm just afraid the brothers will laugh."

"Understood. I will explain it then. The toxicity of this Spirit Thorn Bee is indeed very high. You should hurry back and rest. If it's really not possible, you don't have to go tomorrow."

Yan Xiao immediately understood his intention and couldn't help but laugh.

Niu Niu Guangmo waved his hands repeatedly: "No, it's fine. Then Boss, this time... you must be careful."

Yan Xiao laughed: "I know, I know. Don't forget who I am. When have I not brought you all back safely? Look at this toxicity, it's really powerful; it's even affected your facial nerves. Your eyes are blinking so fast now, is it very uncomfortable?"

"Yes, very... very uncomfortable. I... I'll leave first!"

After Niu Niu Guangmo finished speaking, he sighed and turned to jog away.

Yan Xiao watched his disheveled back and couldn't help but laugh out loud, then took out a bronze mirror to look.

"Don't say, after being stung, those little eyes can rival mine. Tsk tsk, a single-eyelid boy, just handsome!"

After being narcissistic, Yan Xiao started packing again.

Spirit Moon Peak!

"Da Zhou Shixiong, do you have any cultivation insights for the Foundation Establishment realm? Ever since Foundation Establishment, Lu Shimei hasn't been able to settle her heart to cultivate. This time, I want to go into seclusion properly!"

That night, Lu Lu Yaoyao found Da Zhou Shixiong Li Li Daoxuan and said.

Li Li Daoxuan immediately had a face full of smiles: "That's a must. It's good that you have this realization. Wait a moment, Zhou Shixiong will find it for you."

Soon, Li Li Daoxuan found a jade slip.

"The time is a bit long ago, it took quite a search. Unexpectedly, looking back, so many years have passed..."

"Da Zhou Shixiong, thank you. Then I won't go out casually during my seclusion!"

Before Li Li Daoxuan could finish reminiscing, Lu Lu Yaoyao hurriedly took it happily.

Li Li Daoxuan looked doting: "Don't worry, I definitely won't disturb you. But if you have anything you don't understand, you can send a message at any time. I, including your Second Zhou Shixiong, Third Zhou Shixiong, and the others, will definitely be on call."

"Understood, thank you all!"

Lu Lu Yaoyao hugged the jade slip and hopped away.

…………

The next morning, Zhou Qing and the others had gathered, with only Niu Niu Guangmo missing.

Soon, the two received a message from Mo Mo Xingjian.

"For the sake of safety, I won't come to see you off, lest I be seen by those with ulterior motives. I wish you a smooth journey!"

Seeing this message, Yan Xiao seemed to think of something and hurriedly said: "By the way, Master, this trip counts as official business. Can the expenses along the way be reimbursed?"

But after waiting for a long time, there was no reply from Mo Mo Xingjian, but Niu Niu Guangmo was seen arriving late.

At this time, although Niu Niu Guangmo was still wearing the purple robes of a true disciple, his face seemed even more swollen.

Except for a bit of familiarity between his brows and eyes, the rest was truly unrecognizable even to his own mother.

A cow head turned into a pig head!

And everyone also learned from Yan Xiao that the old cow had unluckily encountered a Spirit Thorn Bee yesterday, but unexpectedly, after one night, it seemed even more serious.

"Old Cow, you say if you were stung down there, and then strolled around, tsk tsk, there would definitely be many Lu Shimei and Yuan Shijie coming to knock on your window at night."

"Can you see with such small slits for eyes? How about brother carries you? Haha~~"

"You are too miserable, aren't you? How could our Little Spirit Peak have such poisonous bees as Spirit Thorn Bees? Could it be that someone is raising them?"

…………

Facing everyone's teasing, Niu Niu Guangmo squeezed out a forced smile and pointed to his mouth, quickly writing a line of small characters in the air with spiritual power.

【My throat is swollen, I can't speak!】

Yan Xiao went over and gave his neck a slap, then grinningly hugged Niu Niu Guangmo directly.

"Don't worry, it will be fine in a few days. Your Brother Yan, including the brothers, will take care of you!" Yan Xiao said.

Niu Niu Guangmo touched his neck, then looked at Yan Xiao strangely, and then nodded slightly.

In the air appeared the words 【Many thanks, Brother Yan】.

"Enough, I see Old Mo shouldn't be coming to see us off. Since everyone is here, let's set off!" Yan Xiao said.

Afterward, everyone flew up on their swords and headed straight for Green Wood City...
