"Let her be. Remember what I told you? The top-ranked students are very likely to be monsters. I'm not sure about the other nine, but Liu Xiyao is definitely one... For her, this is nothing. Why do you think I have unlimited tolerance for her? Just wait and see."
The middle-aged man looked troubled and stammered, "But...but..."
"Speak your mind."
"She worked under Instructor Jiang for a while!"
The manor lord, with his back to the middle-aged man, smiled slightly: "Oh? Isn't that even better? That other monster... do you know why I granted Liu Xiyao all sorts of privileges, but forbade anyone to help her find that person's whereabouts? You wouldn't understand, you wouldn't comprehend. We all have to desperately wash away the mud from our bodies and strive to climb upwards, while some people are born to stand on the clouds... The so-called dangerous places? It's best not to disturb others who are picking up treasures in their own backyard."
"But Instructor Jiang's philosophy seems to have some problems... Last time I heard her say: all you need to do is kill all the witnesses, and that's the perfect infiltration."
The manor lord turned around with a puzzled look: "Yes, what's the problem?"
Middle-aged man: ? ? ?
Chapter Fifty-Six: You've Got Me Caught!
Not long after.
Liu Xiyao reluctantly bid farewell to the two and a half bowls of tailed beast meat that she had not yet finished.
The requirement to complete the task within the day prompted her to wander the streets furtively.
Find the location marked on the certificate of spiritual practice.
She kept gesturing to the drawings on the certificate of spiritual practice.
I felt that the surrounding buildings were ambiguous and I couldn't find the key point for a long time.
Just then, Huang Quan, dressed in flowing white robes, was listening to music in a brothel when he inadvertently stumbled upon this scene.
"Boss, all your signature dishes are..."
The little dragon peeked out from the fur around the white fox's neck, its gaze fixed on Liu Xiyao: "You foolish other me, huh? You look quite..."
Then, Huang Quan grabbed the little dragon by the scruff of its neck, its limbs kicking wildly in the air: "You've been caught? I knew I'd been feeling watched the whole way. What are you anyway, and why are you following me?"
Little Dragon Man bit his lower lip, tears streaming down his face like a broken string of raindrops: "I should be asking you that too. You've been carrying me around and running around these past few days, what deep-seated hatred do we have?"
Huang Quan's thoughts were clear and lucid: "You are that bone?"
The little dragon tried desperately to flap its wings, struggling to break free from control: "You're the one with the bones. It's hard to explain to a foolish human like you what a great being I am."
"I'm asking you a question! Do you believe I'll stuff your feet into the sole of my shoe?"
"I may not be human, but you are real..."
Seeing Huang Quan's kind eyes, the little dragon quickly changed his tune: "But you really are handsome."
"Well, how should I put it? I can say that the idiot below and I are essentially the same being. I can't really explain it, but you can think of us as 'twins' in human terms."
"The mortal body is simply incapable of giving birth to two beings as noble as myself, so a body with two souls appeared, and some of the souls even became entangled. Because I was too powerful, I remained in a deep slumber, with another foolish version of myself as the dominant body, until one day I was slightly awakened by the power of the tailed beasts..."
……
The gaze shifted to the other side.
Although Liu Xiyao was spotted two or three times during her infiltration, she always managed to quiet them down before they could call for reinforcements.
Of course, it refers to knocking the other person unconscious.
Jiang Wanyu, who was both a mentor and a friend to her, once taught her: "Eliminate everyone who sees you, so that no one will know you've infiltrated. That's the perfect infiltration."
However, unsure whether the other party was truly guilty of heinous crimes, she couldn't bring herself to kill them, so she could only settle for knocking them unconscious.
Finally, Liu Xiyao found the final location by following the instructions on her cultivation certificate.
Upon entering the underground palace, Liu Xiyao saw six children who had fainted in iron cages.
The little girl who said she'd put garlic and turtle in the dish another day was among them.
Without much thought, or perhaps her body reacted before she could even finish thinking, Liu Xiyao rushed toward the two guards by the iron cage.
Because Liu Xiyao's attack was so sudden, the two guards didn't even have time to react.
Liu Xiyao quickly dispatched one person and seized his weapon, then engaged in combat with the second.
Although she usually prefers to solve problems with her fists, it doesn't mean she would actually dare to use her physical body to clash with a magical artifact.
Swordsmen cultivate their heart and will; knife cultivators cultivate their strength.
Knife skills emphasize strength and momentum.
Upon seeing the six children locked in an iron cage and unconscious, Liu Xiyao was so angry that her hands and feet felt cold in the spring breeze. Her heart was already burning with rage, and although her swordplay was haphazard, her momentum was even stronger.
Even though the opponent had the cultivation of the Breaking Army Realm, facing Liu Xiyao, who had the upper hand and was unstoppable, he naturally suffered a series of defeats and was powerless to resist.
In seven moves, Liu Xiyao defeated her opponent.
Seeing that no one was stopping her, Liu Xiyao raised the knife in her hand, intending to cut open the iron lock of the cage.
However, when she struck the lock, it didn't break. Instead, the force of the impact made Liu Xiyao's hands go numb, and even chipped the blade in her hand.
Just as Liu Xiyao was slightly distracted, a whooshing sound rang out. She suddenly felt a sense of crisis and quickly retreated, barely dodging a palm strike that came from the shadows.
Liu Xiyao stared coldly at the approaching man in black. After a quick assessment, she realized that if she hadn't dodged the attack in time, she would likely have died on the spot.
The attacker, having failed in his attack, remained calm and composed, instead adopting a rather passive, detached attitude.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Liu Xiyao suddenly realized that she was not alone in her attack.
He then turned and slashed down with his sword, the blade energy crisscrossing, but all that could be heard was the sound of metal clashing against metal, and the sword in his hand almost slipped from his grasp.
Liu Xiyao quickly dodged away and steadied herself.
The newcomer wore a mask made of a mythical beast, obscuring his true appearance.
At this moment, Liu Xiyao also realized how dire her situation was...
Just as Liu Xiyao was seriously considering a solution, she felt as if she had been bitten by a mosquito on her neck, and then her consciousness began to gradually fade.
Disregarding martial ethics, resorting to sneak attacks!
Thinking this, Liu Xiyao lost consciousness.
"Hehehehe".
After Liu Xiyao fell to the ground, the third person, also wearing a mask, grinned sinisterly, his face hidden from view.
He turned to the man in black and asked, "So, according to the agreement, this person is now under my control. No objections?"
The man in black was somewhat envious of Liu Xiyao's appearance.
The cunning man who had drugged the victim spoke again: "It was agreed beforehand that whoever takes him down is responsible for his actions. Don't try to renege on your promise."
“However, the orders from above require that this person be kept intact until the opening ceremony of the government,” the man in black said coldly.
The man who launched the sneak attack argued, "How could it not be completely intact? This is a harmless matter, why take it so seriously?"
The man in black chose to remain silent.
"Brother, you can have the first soup, but you have to share a few with me, right?" The man in black turned around and began to discuss with the sinister man.
"Of course, of course," the sinister man replied, his lewd smile almost palpable even through his mask.
At that moment, the sinister man was about to reach out to the girl.
However, his hand was stopped by another hand.
Only then did the two notice that a person dressed in white with long, dark hair had appeared silently, like a silent ghost.
Their intuitive understanding of the realm of creation, or perhaps it was a sudden impulse, told them that what they were seeing before them was definitely not some low-class, worthless fish or shrimp.
The man in white appeared, and the man in black standing to the side hurriedly retreated, while the man who attacked him remained in place.
It wasn't that he didn't want to retreat, but that he dared not. He could feel himself being locked onto by a heavy, overwhelming killing intent, and if he made the slightest move, he feared that his head would roll.
Now, all the energy in my body has been suppressed by the spiritual energy. If I am not careful, I will be scattered into pieces by the chaotic spiritual energy.
Chapter Fifty-Seven: Why Not Offer Yourself in Repayment?
Huang Quan, with the mindset of "I'll just watch and not do anything," silently followed behind for a long time.
He was trying to figure out what this sneaky guy was up to.
The protagonist never leaves empty-handed.
Of course, there's also the desire to see firsthand that 'strange' ability to find treasures anywhere.
First, I witnessed a wave of 'unparalleled infiltration'.
An elderly man in the mountains exclaimed that he was an expert.
And then, his coolness lasted only three seconds.
This is the scene right before our eyes.
Darkening makes it three times stronger.
Unless there is a special hobby or necessity.
It's best to stop such situations if possible.
Otherwise, who knows what monsters might appear later?
He observed for a long time but saw no sign of the danger averted, and he was also unaware of the other people present.
That's why they stopped them at the last crucial moment.
A larger part of the reason can be attributed to the little dragon-man on top of him, flapping its tiny wings and flying around.
"Hey, hurry up and do it, don't let them hurt me."
She watched the scene before her anxiously, her nervous little hands rubbing Huang Quan's hair into a messy tangle.
Huang Quan grabbed Fate by the scruff of her neck again and pulled her down: "If you keep nagging, I'll stuff you into my shoe."
The little creature began to angrily bar its teeth and claws: "Damn it, one day I'll pinch your tail and make you repent for what you did today."
Where did it get its tail from?
Huang Quan didn't think much of it.
It must be something like a 'handle' or something similar, right?
