The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 48 Will the Head Teacher Agree?

Facing the surprised look of his third senior brother, Zhou Qing could only say, "I forgot where I saw this thing, I was just asking."

Yan Xiaohu stood up and explained to Zhou Qingpu, "This thing is a bit unusual. It can be considered a rare tracking material. It is colorless and odorless. Even if a Yuanying realm cultivator accidentally gets it on, they might not be able to detect it. However, there is a kind of black spirit dog with a very sharp nose."

"If we want to get this thing from the demon beast Ling Ao, we have to rely on these black spirit dogs to find the Ling Ao's lair..."

Zhou Qing felt a chill in his heart when he heard what his third senior brother said.

Look at the jade pendant carefully again.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Zhou Qing looked unwell, Yan Xiaohu stopped explaining and came over curiously.

Zhou Qing said, "Third Brother, my nose might be more sensitive than an average person's. After hearing what you said, combined with what I know, if I'm not mistaken, this jade pendant has been smeared with Ling Ao Liquid."

After these words were spoken, Yan Xiaohu looked at Zhou Qing in disbelief.

"real or fake?"

"Really?"

"But this Ling Ao liquid is colorless and odorless. How did you smell it?"

"Didn't you just say that the black spirit dog could smell it, so why can't I?"

"Yes, yes, if it's true, your nose is amazing, better than that dog's. Let me see if the structure inside is different from mine. Why can't I smell it?"

"Third Brother, take your fat hands away. This isn't the point. It's the Spiritual Ao Liquid!"

"Right, right, right. I almost missed the important matter. It seems that this was a premeditated action. Could it be that Yin Xiao was the one who kidnapped Cui Yingying and others?"

[Heart Judgment Points +7]

The note above Yan Xiaohu's head changed from "God-like Junior Brother" to "Junior Brother More Powerful Than a Dog" in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but face twitching.

Is this a compliment or a criticism?

Yan Xiaohu frowned, picked up the jade pendant and examined it in the sunlight outside, then put it in front of his nose and sniffed it hard.

Zhou Qing said, "Yin Xiao's cultivation level is at best comparable to Cui Yingying's. Even if he wanted to use force, he couldn't have caused over 200 people to disappear without a trace, let alone brutally killing half of them."

Afterwards, the two of them looked at each other and said in unison, "It's Cang Yan Dao Palace!"

Yan Xiaohu took a deep breath and said, "Could it be that Sikong Yan, the Palace Master of Cang Yan Dao Palace, has been pursuing the Xuanyou Fairy but has been unable to succeed, and is trying to force her to submit?"

Zhou Qing shook his head: "If that's the case, then Sikong Yan could have kidnapped the person quietly, and there would be no need for Yin Xiao to secretly use the Ling Ao Liquid to track him."

Yan Xiaohu pondered, "It doesn't make sense. The people from the Qingyu Immortal Sect left in batches, and Cui Yingying and the others should be the last group. So what exactly do the people from the Cangyan Dao Palace want to do?"

"I can't figure it out. It gives me a headache. Lao Si, lie down on the ground and smell it again. Are there any other clues?"

Zhou Qing turned and left.

You really think I'm a dog.

"It's all for solving the case. If I had your nose, I would climb up to the beam and smell it right now," Yan Xiaohu said with envy.

Not long after, the two of them carefully searched the rooms where other core disciples had lived, but unfortunately found nothing.

Now the only target is Qingyu Xianzong and Yin Xiao.

"I'll pass the relevant clues to Master first and ask them to keep an eye on it. After all, as we get further and further away from Taiqing Sect, there will be a certain delay in the transmission of information, or even no information at all."

After Yan Xiaohu finished speaking, he took out the token and reported their findings to Mo Xingjian.

After a while, I received a reply from my master: "Got it. Be safe and remember to take good care of Lao Si."

That night, the two of them stayed in a nice inn in Yanlong City with several other true disciples.

Inside the room, Zhou Qing fed the old hen two spirit stones when there was a knock on the door. As soon as the door opened, Yan Xiaohu rushed in with a pen and paper.

"Quick, quick, Fourth Brother, help me. How do you write the two words for the yuè zhuó animal bone soup we ate on the east side of the street this afternoon?"

Yan Xiaohu spread out the manual and quickly handed over the pen.

Zhou Qing was puzzled, then looked at the manual. He was stunned to see that everything they had eaten and drunk since they set out from Xiaoling Peak was recorded in detail.

"Third Brother, what is this?" Zhou Qing asked puzzled.

Yan Xiaohu said, "It's at public expense. Look, finding someone isn't our job, but now we've been sent out to do it at our own risk. We can't bother with our cultivation and pay for it ourselves, right?"

"By the time we find the person, the Qingyu Immortal Sect will be grateful to the headmaster. If we don't find the person, no one will care about our expenses along the way. Wouldn't that be a loss? No one's money comes from the wind, don't you think?"

Listening to what his third senior brother said, Zhou Qing always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Who are you going to reimburse then? All the people from the Thirteen Peaks have been dispatched this time. If that's the case, the sect will have to spend a lot of money, right?"

Zhou Qing wrote down the two words "鸑鷟" and asked curiously.

After getting the character "鸑鷟" (yuè zhuó), Yan Xiaohu couldn't help cursing at the number of strokes.

Then he put away the book with satisfaction: "Of course I'll find the head teacher. I can't cheat my own master. What's more, do you think Lao Mo will give me money?"

"Does the head teacher agree?" Zhou Qing was a little surprised.

Yan Xiaohu's small eyes suddenly narrowed into slits due to smiling.

"How could he possibly agree? But he couldn't stand my fuss. No, he should have just reasoned with me righteously. In the end, he had no choice but to reimburse me for any public missions sent by the sect from now on."

Yan Xiaohu looked very proud when he said this.

Zhou Qing clapped his hands in admiration.

"So, the people from other peaks are also reimbursed?" Zhou Qing didn't expect that the head teacher would be so sympathetic to them.

Yan Xiaohu shook his head. "Those guys are too shy to open their mouths. They think what I did is petty and shameful, so I'm the only one who has to pay for it. Because of this, not only did the head teacher dislike me, but even my master was disliked for a long time."

Zhou Qing: "..."

Yan Xiaohu chuckled, "That's called keeping public and private affairs separate, but I, Yan Xiaohu, always keep my word. You saw it just now, I didn't report anything extra."

"No, no, Third Brother is very meticulous in his work. I admire you!" Zhou Qing said quickly.

Yan Xiaohu was happy for a moment: "Of course not. Okay, I won't disturb your rest. We have to leave early tomorrow. Go to bed early."

"Senior brother too!"

After seeing Yan Xiaohu off, Zhou Qing couldn't help but laugh again.

How can I describe Third Brother? He has a lively personality and it seems like there are always endless funny points to be found.

…………

The next day, Zhou Qing yawned, opened the door, and just as he walked down the stairs, he was stunned.

"Brother Zhou, you're awake. Let's have breakfast together. The tofu pudding we just ordered is still warm."

Lu Yaoyao invited with a smile.

[Heart Judgment Points +5]

Li Daoxuan on the side looked at Zhou Qing with disgust. The expression on his head that was originally "a pervert who can't change his nature" turned into "a pervert who is as sticky as a dog's plaster" again.

No, the last meal at Yushantang was for free, right?

Who is the dog-skin plaster? Don’t you two know which one is better?
