Chapter 40
"Why are you here?"

A playful smile was drawn on the corner of Su Mei's mouth, her charming red phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and she looked at the young girl in front of her with subtle eyes.

"Who is she meow?"

Ji Baizhi wiped her mouth, and looked curiously at the strange woman outside the door.

It was such a wonderful encounter, Li Mubai also thought that the two would meet again, but he didn't expect it to come so soon and so suddenly.

He gradually came to his senses, pointed to Su Mei outside the door with a smile, and said to Ji Baizhi: "Su Mei, a friend of mine."

He patted Ji Baizhi's head again, and looked at Su Mei: "Ji Baizhi, my distant cousin."

It was a very brief introduction, but there was no useful information. It just conveyed each other's name to two girls who didn't know each other.

At first, I thought that this matter would be perfunctory, but who knows, Su Mei walked towards the two of them with great interest, and a curious look flashed in her eyes.

"Is she the companion you were going to treat that day?"

Looking at the cute petite girl, Su Mei asked curiously.

"No."

Li Mubai was a little surprised, he didn't know why the girl who was only interested in alchemy suddenly wentssip so much, he didn't know what to respond for a while, he just said it casually, and didn't want to explain too much.

"What are you doing in Donghai County?"

Su Mei poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip to relieve her thirst. In terms of casualness, she was quite similar to Li Mubai.

"Rush to Jixia Academy, to your appointment of the day."

Li Mubai said perfunctorily, this is a good reason, of course you can't tell Su Mei the real purpose, after all, assassinating the head of the family is a very painful thing to think about.

"What is the covenant with Jixia Academy?"

Ji Baizhi didn't know, so her eyes flicked back and forth between Li Mubai and Su Mei, expecting them to answer her curiosity.

"You are everywhere, eat your food."

Hearing this, Li Mubai picked up some food and handed it to the girl's lips, the action that he felt ashamed at first is now very skillful.

"Slightly interesting, appointment?"

Su Mei sneered and looked at Li Mubai playfully, "Then let's go together? I just want to go back to Jixia Academy."

At the beginning, they talked about discussing alchemy with each other, but after the boy left, there was no news. She waited for several days in the Baicao Hall and still didn't see the boy, so it was just a perfunctory word.

Now that I ran into a young man by chance, he actually said that he had come for an appointment. Obviously, it was a perfunctory word that he didn't want to tell the truth.

"This."

Li Mubai wanted to refuse subconsciously, he was not alone, and Ji Baizhi was with him, it would be inconvenient for the three of them to travel together, it would be interesting if the identity of the demon clan was discovered.

Thinking of this, he wanted to refuse, but before he could speak, Ji Baizhi looked at Su Mei with bright eyes, "Jixia Academy is fun, meow?"

Seeing that Ji Baizhi had already taken the bait, and Li Mubai looked deflated, Su Mei smiled, "There are hundreds of schools of thought contending in the Jixia Academy, each with its own unique style, which is naturally interesting, not to mention anything else, if you come to the doctor's house, I will Take you to have a good time."

While speaking, Su Mei didn't look at Ji Baizhi, but looked at Li Mubai playfully.

Seeing this, Ji Baizhi hurriedly tugged at the corner of Li Mubai's clothes, and said happily, "Let's go meow together!"

Li Mubai smiled mischievously, Su Mei obviously saw his perfunctory excuses, also, it is not realistic for an assassin to promise to go to an appointment.

It's just that the words have been spoken, and it would be too fake to refuse. He scratched his head, suddenly a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to respond.

"Senior Sister Su, it's only been a while, why are you here, old man?"

With the sound of a weak voice, a panting young man slowly came to the door of the restaurant. He stretched out his hand to support the door, panting while talking, looking very tired.

Hearing this, Su Mei raised her eyebrows, turned her head to look at the young man who called her, and responded with a lack of interest: "What are you doing with me, I don't want to go back in a hurry."

The boy's name is Xu Bo, and he is a disciple of the doctor's family. This time, he was ordered by the head of the doctor's family to bring his elder sister Su Mei back to Jixia Academy.

"But."

"But what, come and go as you please, do I have no temper? Go tell the old man yourself that I will go back later and don't bother me."

Su Mei pursed her lips and said, playing with the teacup in her hand, seeing Xu Bo's obedient look, she was a little impatient, and said again: "Just say I said it, if the old man dares to blame you, see if I will Go back and pull his beard."

"Sister."

Xu Bo smiled wryly, and his voice was very long, as if he was begging, "I dare not offend you, old man, or master, so you should just treat yourself as a poor junior, and go back."

Seeing that Su Mei was still indifferent, Xu Bo clasped his hands again, bowed to the girl, and looked at the girl pitifully: "The sedan chair is also prepared for you, go back, senior sister."

Su Mei just let out a cold snort, frowned and looked at the junior brother standing at the door without saying a word.

"Hey, it's not easy for others, why don't you just go back?"

Seeing that there was a turning point in the matter, Li Mubai suddenly became interested and helped Xu Bo persuade him.

Seeing the kindness of the white-clothed man in front of him, Xu Bo quickly cast a grateful look at him, and said to Su Mei: "Save the junior brother, my good senior sister!"

Suddenly, seeing the three people sitting together happily, he seemed to understand something again, and said: "The sedan chair is so spacious, it's easy for three people to sit, you see?"

Seeing that Su Mei was reluctant to leave, Xu Bo mistakenly thought that she was reluctant to part with the two people in front of her. It seemed that the relationship between the three of them was very good, so he invited him.

He couldn't help but marvel at his intelligence.

As expected of me!

On the other hand, Li Mubai's eyes widened. He didn't expect to persuade others with good words, but it was misunderstood.

But Su Mei smiled when she heard the words, with all kinds of flair in her eyebrows and eyes, she glanced at Li Mubai playfully, and said with a light smile, "Okay, what does Mr. Li say?"

What else can I say?
Li Mubai rolled his eyes in his heart, and forced a smile: "That's very good."

So, after dinner, the two of them followed Su Mei into the carriage, Xu Bo drove the front, the interior of the carriage was spacious enough to accommodate the three of them, Li Mubai planned to be silent all the way, talk more and make more mistakes, talk less and make less mistakes , He sat silently in the car like a monk practicing closed-mouth meditation.

Ji Baizhi was completely unaware of the danger, and had no intention of letting strangers in, so she asked Su Mei some anecdotes about Jixia Academy.

Su Mei didn't feel annoyed, she responded to Ji Baizhi with a smile, and from time to time, she was amused by the stupid questions raised by young girls who hadn't experienced much in the world.

The rare harmony in the car made Li Mubai feel a little unbelievable, and the laughter and conversation of the two made him who was silent all the time feel very embarrassed.

While talking, Ji Baizhi was suddenly teased and laughed, leaned back and hit the wall of the car, the bamboo hat she had been wearing on top of her head fell off, and her bright and cute cat ears were instantly exposed to the two of them. in the eyes.

Seeing this, Li Mubai was shocked, he didn't even bother to put on Ji Baizhi's hat, and in a hurry, he stepped forward and covered Su Mei's eyes with his hands.

Raising her hand and waving her impolite hand away, Su Mei narrowed her eyes slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her vermilion lips parted slightly: "Monster Race?"

Li Mubai felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy in an instant, he hastily stretched out his hand to pull Ji Baizhi behind him, at the same time stretched out his other hand to protect the girl, raised his head and stared at Su Mei sharply.

Humans and monsters have always been incompatible since ancient times, and now that Ji Baizhi's identity has been exposed, she wonders if they will be able to leave Donghai County smoothly.

For a while, various countermeasures emerged in Li Mubai's mind one after another. He was estimating the strength of both sides. Su Mei had already built a foundation, but Ji Baizhi should be able to draw with her.

As for Xu Bo, who was driving the carriage, he seemed to be just a junior, so he should be able to handle it.

However, if the battle attracts the crowds around to watch, and the monster clan enters the Donghai County City majestically, they will definitely be attacked by the crowd.

Strong attack will not work!We can only find another way, but how can we persuade Su Mei to let go of her prejudices and keep it a secret for them for the time being?
Use elixir as a primer?
The girl had also taken a fancy to his alchemy skills, if he used alchemy discussion to persuade the girl, maybe he could succeed.

With this in mind, Li Mubai opened his mouth to persuade him, seeing that he was somewhat sure.

But who knows, before he could say anything, he saw Su Mei laugh dumbfoundedly, with a hint of self-deprecation in her smile, "Doesn't it look like a good person to me?"

Hearing this, Li Mubai paused again, but the words were stuck in his throat.

"Take it."

Su Mei took out a small bottle from the storage bag without much interest, and handed it to Ji Baizhi, but the latter still didn't know the danger, only felt that the woman in red in front of her was very close, so she took the small bottle.

"what is this?"

Li Mubai cursed stupid cat inwardly, then asked in doubt.

"Shaping Pill."

Su Mei said lightly, her eyes were lowered, and she fiddled with her slender fingers again, not knowing what was going on in her mind.

Transformation Pill is a hard-to-find elixir in the monster race. If the quality is high enough, it can help all untransformed monsters to transform into human form.

Li Mubai snatched the bottle from Ji Baizhi's hand and opened it, inside was a round and plump pill, without any fragrance, it was undoubtedly a top-quality pill.

He handed the bottle back to Ji Baizhi, and cast a grateful look at Su Mei at the same time. He didn't know why Su Mei did this, but the girl's good intentions had proved it.

"Thanks."

Li Mubai thanked softly, he was suddenly a little embarrassed, the previous subconscious protective posture had wrongly blamed Su Mei, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, he is a little restless.

"You're being polite. It's not for you. I have some ties to her. It's just pity."

Su Mei responded lightly, then reached out and took off the bamboo hat on Ji Baizhi's head, touched her head, and then she smiled a little: "Take it, after refining the medicine, you can freely retract the cat's ears gone."

Ji Baizhi smiled back, and took the Transformation Pill without hesitation. For some reason, she was so kind to the girl in front of her that she couldn't think of any doubts.

After this incident, Su Mei also lost her interest. She closed her eyes slightly, as if she was resting with her eyes closed, and sat in the car without speaking.

Seeing this, Ji Baizhi also restrained her playfulness rarely, blinked her eyes like a charming girl, and pretended to be rested with her eyes closed. After a while, the cat's daytime sleepiness hit her, and she also fell asleep. up.

So Li Mubai had no choice but to stay awake alone in embarrassment, with a lot of thoughts in his head.

After a long time, Xu Bo's joyful voice came from the carriage: "Senior Sister, we are here!"

 No words, only choking
