Why do I have the lowest fighting ability among the whole family?

After all this trouble, Yaojiang arrived quickly.

Yu Jiaojiao controlled the whereabouts of the paper crane. The two of them stood by the gurgling stream. Pei Shao looked around and saw nothing unusual.

The stream in front of the two of them was a branch of the Yaojiang River. Yu Jiaojiao was very cautious and took Pei Shao to explore it. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he took her up the mountain.

"I remember there is a village here. It's getting late today. It might be difficult to fight against the water ghosts at night. Let's go to the village to stay overnight."

Pei Shao nodded and followed obediently.

The place where Yu Jiaojiao wanted to go was Yaoshan Village. There was only one village nearby, and then there was nothing else.

Yu Jiaojiao walked in front with one foot deep and one foot shallow, while Pei Shao followed closely behind.

The closer she got to Yaoshan Village, the more her memories began to revive.

She didn't remember much about this place where Pei Shao lived.

I only have the short period after she arrived in my memory.

However, just such a short paragraph was enough for her to realize the evil in people's hearts.

Pei Shao pursed his lips and said nothing, but still followed Yu Jiaojiao obediently.

Yu Jiaojiao didn't notice anything unusual about her. She stopped in front of the first small house she saw, then reached out and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was an aunt in her fifties or sixties. The aunt seemed to have bad eyesight. She squinted at Yu Jiaojiao for a long time before asking tremblingly: "Girl, what's wrong?"

"Hello, aunt, we are monks from the Taoyun Sect. We have taken on the task of getting rid of the water ghosts in the Yaojiang River. However, it is already late when we arrived today. I wonder if it would be convenient for aunt to let us stay overnight?"

The aunt groaned. When she heard the word "water ghost", her cloudy eyes trembled suddenly, and then she stared at Yu Jiaojiao without relaxing.

Yu Jiaojiao had goosebumps all over her body when she saw her. She pulled Pei Shao behind her and politely repeated it to her aunt.

"Oh...oh, the water ghost...the water ghost is good..." The aunt said to herself, while turning sideways to make room for the two of them to come in.

Although Yu Jiaojiao was still worried in her heart, it was already getting late outside. It would be better if she was on her own, but now that she was taking Pei Shao with her, it was too unsafe to spend the night outside.

So although she thought the aunt was a little strange, she still had the courage to lead Pei Shao into the house.

There were only two simple pieces of furniture in the room. After the aunt walked in on her back, she pointed at the worn stool beside the table and motioned for the two of them to sit down. Then she looked directly at Yu Jiaojiao and stopped talking.

Yu Jiaojiao was frightened by what she saw, but when she looked up again, the aunt's eyes had turned to Pei Shao.

"Are you... a girl from the Pei family?" The aunt pointed at Pei Shao, her cloudy eyes trembling.

The Pei family is in the middle of Yaoshan Village, and this aunt lives on the far side, so Pei Shao really has no impression of her.

She searched the memories in her mind and found nothing.

She nodded and didn't say much, but the aunt laughed.

There were only two teeth left in the aunt's mouth, and her red teeth were exposed when she grinned, which looked a bit scary.

"It's getting late, you should go to bed first." The aunt said, stood up on crutches, and was about to walk out the door.

"Auntie!" Yu Jiaojiao called her in a panic: "Where are you going?"

"Ah?" As if her ears were not very good, Yu Jiaojiao repeated it again, and then the aunt turned around and grinned at the two of them: "I don't live here."

After that, he quickly turned around and walked into the thick night on crutches.

"Creak -" with a sound, the old wooden door was also closed.

Yu Jiaojiao bit her lower lip tightly and sat around the table with Pei Shao without talking, only the firewood crackling in the stove.

After a long while, Yu Jiaojiao broke the silence: "Shaoshao, do you know this lady?"

Pei Shao shook his head, but still told Yu Jiaojiao all about his life experience. It actually didn't matter, and she didn't have any parents in her memory.

And more memories seem to be covered with a veil in my mind, making them blurry and unclear.

Even when looking at these, Pei Shao felt more like an outsider.

After hearing what she said, Yu Jiaojiao was silent for a while before she said, "There's something strange here."

"Go to bed first. I'll set up the formation. All you have to do is return to the sect quickly except for the water ghosts tomorrow."

Yu Jiaojiao stood up first, took out a few stones from her storage bag and placed them in the four corners of the room. Then she made a magic trick with her hands and drove them into the stones one by one.

Yu Jiaojiao took out the prepared quilt and spread it on the bed, then turned to look at Pei Shao.

"Go to bed first. Don't worry, my senior sister is here."

She patted the back of Pei Shao's head comfortingly, but she sat aside and took out the wooden slips to study.

The wooden slips were the same as the wooden slips from other tasks. There was nothing strange about them. After Yu Jiaojiao turned over the wooden slips a few times, she threw the wooden slips back into the storage bag.

Just as he was about to go to bed, he heard a knock on the door.

Yu Jiaojiao immediately became vigilant. She made a shushing gesture to Pei Shao. Then she held the weapon behind her back with one hand and opened the door a little open with the other hand.

"Who?"

However, when they saw each other clearly, the two waves of people were stunned at the same time.

Yu Jiaojiao rubbed her eyes in disbelief, then looked forward again, surprised and anxious.

"First Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother? Why are you here?"

"Jiaojiao, why are you here?" Lu Yan immediately screamed. Yu Jiaojiao didn't bother to pay attention to her, and stepped aside to make way for the two of them to come in.

After Bai Qingan and Lu Yan came in, Yu Jiaojiao closed the door again.

"How are you, junior sister?" Lu Yan still looked nonchalant and raised his hand to greet Pei Shao with a smile.

"Hello, senior brother, hello, second senior brother." When the two senior brothers arrived, Pei Shao couldn't help but sit on the edge of the bed. He got up and sat at the table with Yu Jiaojiao.

"Why are you here?" Bai Qing'an asked after taking a few sips of water.

He looked at Yu Jiaojiao, then at Pei Shao, and shook his head with some disapproval.

"With your three-legged cat skills, don't run around with your junior sister on weekdays."

"Let's get rid of the water ghosts." Seeing Bai Qing'an talking about his three-legged cat skills, Yu Jiaojiao was quite unconvinced.

She took the mission slip out of her storage bag and slapped it on the table.

"It's just a two-star mission! I can complete it with one finger! Senior brother, please don't look down on me, okay?"

Bai Qing'an was the first to pick up the mission slip and look at it.

However, when he saw the information inside the wooden slip, his expression suddenly turned ugly, and he handed the wooden slip to Lu Yan.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Lu Yan also put away his careless look and took the wooden slip.

Then the expressions of the two of them turned into the same ugly expression.

"What's...what's going on?" Yu Jiaojiao also noticed that something was not right in the atmosphere and asked stammeringly.

"Is there something wrong with the mission?"

"It's not just a problem." Bai Qing'an sighed: "The problem is getting bigger."
