Chapter 111: Protagonist, ???
Feng Yudie pulled Li Longling to the corner of the room and asked her in a low voice about Wu Yue’s origin. Then she learned that Wu Yue was a bodyguard assigned to her by Li Feng, who was in the Core Formation stage. He also had Li Feng as a trusted talisman.
Although she still felt that there was something wrong with Wu Yue, it would be equivalent to doubting Li Feng if she doubted it at this point.
Before Li Longling left, Feng Yudie asked her to open a pass to enter and exit Chilong Mansion. After a while, a guard from Chilong Mansion rushed over and handed the approval pass to her.
However, before preparing to go out, Feng Yudie thought for a while and said, “Senior Sister Xiao, do you think Junior Sister Li’s father might be colluding with the demon cultivator?”
Xiao Yunluo, who had just changed into an undershirt and was about to go to the martial arts field of Chilong Mansion to practice swordsmanship, heard these words. Several forehead lines suddenly appeared on her face, and she looked over with a look of disbelief.
“Hiss—you idiot!! Can you think ahead of what you are saying?”
“Of course, I know…”
Feng Yudie thought for a while and explained solemnly, “Senior Sister Xiao, think about it. Yesterday, a demon cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Sect appeared in the Chilong Mansion. This status is not ordinary, and Junior Sister Li also suspected that there was a spy in the Chilong Mansion… So I was wondering, is it possible? It’s like Li Feng and Demon Cultivator have communicated with each other.”
“If Li Feng colludes with the demon cultivator, many things can be explained. Why is there a problem with the formation that suppresses the spiritual veins there but the problem is not found? Why can the demon cultivator in the core formation stage be so unnoticed? Bypassing the large formation around Chilong Mansion and sneaking in? Why did the person named Wu Yue next to Junior Sister Li just now give me a bad feeling? Why…”
When Feng Yudie said this, Xiao Yunluo also realized that her voice was too loud, and it would be troublesome if the servants of the Chilong Mansion accidentally heard it. She quickly closed her mouth and told Feng Yudie with her eyes, “If you dare to speak again, I’ll beat you up!”
Feng Yudie gently took Xiao Yunluo’s hand away from her face and then explained calmly, “Senior Sister Xiao, when we are outside, we must always be suspicious. The world of immortality is very cruel. This is what my master taught me.”
Xiao Yunluo glanced at her, “Taught what?”
Feng Yudie raised her index finger and smiled, “Hmm! People are extremely fickle, especially for cultivators. A hero a hundred years ago may become a villain a hundred years later. A person’s past behavior cannot prove his current behavior.”
Xiao Yunluo’s lips and teeth were slightly open. She couldn’t think of a rebuttal at the moment, so she simply ignored her and only left one sentence, “In short, I don’t believe that Brother Li has any connection with the demonic cultivator. If so, my mother will know it immediately. Moreover, this is the Extreme Flame Spiritual Vein in the Western Region. If he has any connection with the demonic cultivator, there is no way my mother can just sit idly by and watch!”
“Okay then…” Feng Yudie shrugged slightly. Seeing how tough she was, he stopped talking, changed the subject, and asked, “By the way, are you not going to Duchun City with me?”
“No! I’m going to practice sword practice.”
“Then don’t run around when I go out.”
“Hmm!”
Snap–
Xiao Yunluo glared at her, picked up her sword, and walked out the door to the martial arts training ground of Chilong Mansion.
Xiao Tian, who was floating next to Feng Yudie’s head, crossed his arms and shook his head, saying, “Yudie, it would be great if Mr. Ye was here. He would agree with you if you just said those words to him. This Xiao girl is still a little too young…”
Feng Yudie glanced at it, but after thinking about it, if she said those words to Ye Anping, Ye Anping might be willing to stand on her side.
“Hey—I always feel like something big is going to happen! I want to take Senior Sister Xiao and Junior Sister Li and run away. If it’s the one named Li who has the problem, I can’t beat him.”
“Ha~” Xiao Tian snorted coldly, “Have you ever felt you can’t beat someone?”
Feng Yudie rolled her eyes at it, “How about I throw you over and smash his head?”
“Hey~~ I’m going back to the house. Don’t call me today. The scorching aura outside here makes me upset.”
Xiao Tian waved his hand and flew into Feng Yudie’s head with a whoosh.
“Why–”
Seeing this, Feng Yudie momentarily felt helpless, sighed, packed up her things, took the letter of passage just sent by the maid, and flew towards Duchun City with her sword.
…
The sun was beating down, and few people were on the streets of Duchun City. Almost everyone was huddled in a roadside tea shop to enjoy the coolness and cool down.
Feng Yudie was wearing a hat to protect herself from the sun, wandering around the street with her belly, looking for the figure of “Master Jiang” from last time, and asking for news about the person pretending to be Jiang Yu.
Initially, she thought of an evil person who pretended to be someone else’s young master and took the opportunity to make money. However, after asking around, she found that the “fake Jiang Yu” was actually quite popular in Duchun City.
Because the extreme flame spiritual energy had become increasingly intense recently, many mortals in the city had fallen ill from heatstroke. As a result, that person even spent spiritual stones to hire doctors from Duchun City so mortals could treat the heatstroke at a meager price.
There were even some mortals who couldn’t find work. Jiang Mansion would provide some jobs, such as carrying goods or sowing herbs in the lower spiritual fields in the forest.
At least to the mortals in Duchun City, that “fake Jiang Yu” was like a living Bodhisattva.
After wandering around like this, Feng Yudie finally found Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu held a small folding fan in his hand and sat under an umbrella at the door of an inn to enjoy the cool air.
The last time Feng Yudie saw him, he looked like a nobleman who came out from a wealthy family to beg for food. But now he was cleanly dressed, his hair was neatly tied into a bun, and he seemed to have some flesh on his face.
Feng Yudie was stunned momentarily, took off the bamboo hat on her head, and greeted with a smile, “I haven’t seen you for two days. Master Jiang, you seem to be doing well.”
“Um!”
Seeing Feng Yudie’s face, Jiang Yu thought for a while before returning to his senses, “It’s you, senior! You’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for two days! I thought you wouldn’t come…”
Feng Yudie smiled awkwardly, looked at the inn beside her, and asked, “You work here now?”
“This is the Dragon Slaying Club’s inn.” Jiang Yu quickly lowered his voice and whispered, “I came here specifically to find a job, just to find out about the adulterous couple.”
Feng Yudie frowned slightly, “…adulterer**! Two people!”
“Yes, senior, I’m pretty sure that the couple were the two people who robbed me in Qingjiang Town.”
Jiang Yu glanced in the direction of the Jiang Mansion, with a sense of “I’ll settle the score with you when I come back.” He tilted his lips and replied, “They are still deliberately giving charity to mortals in the city, and they probably have a guilty conscience. The couple are afraid I will return and expose my identity, so they want to build up their reputation. If you come here a few days later, I may be unable to do it. Even if I prove my identity, I can’t go back, and even the leader of the Dragon Slaying Guild won’t recognize me.”
“Don’t recognize you!”
Jiang Yu looked depressed and sighed, “The Dragon-Slaying Association has made rapid progress under the management of that stupid couple, and now the hall masters of each branch respect them very much! However, I have also found their flaws!”
Feng Yudie nodded and asked, “Well… What flaws?”
“After that couple came back, the first thing they did was kill Aunt Hua from Qixiang Hall! Aunt Hua was my father’s confidant. She must have seen that they were fake, so they struck first. They even buried Aunt Hua in a mass grave!! It’s so terrible!! Senior, you must help me!!”
“Don’t worry, Master Jiang. I’m here, and your blue sky is here! If you are the real Master Jiang, I will prove your identity and drive the fake one out of the Jiang Mansion…”
At this point, Feng Yudie changed her tone and pursed her lips with a wicked smile, “But…”
“Ah… Well, please tell me.”
“Qingtian is not free… You understand, right? Hehehe~~”
Jiang Yu was stunned and nodded immediately, “Of course! If a senior helps me, I will give the senior five thousand spirit stones. What do you think?”
“Hmm…” Feng Yudie held her chin and thought for a while, then said, “Let’s see, five thousand spirit stones. I am short of some elixirs, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures for the foundation period. Do you think you have any in the warehouse of the Dragon Slaying Association? Less, right? After everything is done, I will go to your warehouse for 100 million points. How about that?”
“Okay!! Deal!!”
Feng Yudie smiled like a profiteer, patted his shoulder, and asked, “So… What are their cultivation levels? What are their names?”
“Well, those couples are cultivators in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. There is also a person in the late stage of Foundation Establishment beside them. But senior, don’t worry, you are a disciple of Xuanxing Sect. As long as you speak, they will never dare to fight you.”
“Two early stages of foundation building plus one late stage of foundation building!” Feng Yudie paused and said, “If you do it, I’m not afraid!”
Jiang Yu cupped his hands and said, “Senior, you are so awesome!”
“Then what are their names?”
“As for the name… The guy uses my name, and the girl seems to be named Pei Lianxue.”
“Hmm… Pei Lianxue… Huh!!”
Feng Yudie nodded knowingly but suddenly felt something was wrong. She twisted her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yu.
