I am a cannon fodder, so what's wrong with grabbing an opportunity?

After Qin Yao reported this to Xia Qiao, Xia Qiao agreed even though she was very unhappy.

After Xie Zhiqiu got the expected answer, he made a request, "Protect my brothers and sisters. If anything happens to them, I might not be able to concentrate on the mission."

Xia Qiao smashed the cup and yelled at Zhao Qiu to Qin Yao, "You're pushing your luck."

After calming himself down, he said, "Okay, agree to her."

After getting the reply, Xie Zhiqiu was quite satisfied, and asked Qin Yao to settle the task rewards for Chao Yun and Chao Mu.

"Sister Qiu." Chao Yun felt a little embarrassed. They didn't do anything, but just got it for free.

Xie Zhiqiu touched Chaoyun's head and said, "Ayun, we are a family, so let's not talk about different things."

"Just settle the account for them. It will be easier for you two to take on missions later. You can redeem the points you want with them."

Before, she had time to write some books for the two of them and teach them some things, but now she has other things to do and can't take care of them for the time being.

If they want something, they can only accumulate it by themselves.

Qin Yao readily calculated their points and rewards, and told the three people: "Now Brother Zhao has 50,000 points, Zhao Yun has 500 points, and Zhao Mu has 500 points."

"You need to go to the mission hall to collect the spirit stones for mission settlement. You can go there to get them when you have time."

After giving the instructions, Qin Yao left.

Xie Zhiqiu explained to the two: "I have a mission, and I may not be able to take care of you for a long time. During this time, you will have to rely on yourselves."

……

Xia Miao really didn't understand why Uncle Qiao sent Zhao Qiu to investigate with him.

There is no one in the city guard who is not stronger than Zhao Qiu.

Xia Miao came to the outside of Xie Zhiqiu's yard and knocked on the door loudly, but no one responded.

Wu Neng could only shout outside the courtyard: "Zhao Qiu, Zhao Qiu..."

This is a rest area, which is always very quiet. Xia Miao's voice attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Isn't this Xia Miao?"

"This is Xia Miao. It's true that people with backers are different..."

"I don't see what's so great about him."

……

Xia Miao felt uncomfortable listening to those people peeking in and talking about him.

He wanted to kick open Xie Zhiqiu's courtyard door, but the door just shook slightly and showed no sign of opening.

Xia Miao went forward and saw that there was actually a protective formation set up.

But he couldn't just leave like this, otherwise he wouldn't be able to put his face where he was, since he couldn't even open a small protective formation.

He didn't think that Zhao Qiu could use any advanced formations.

He planned to accumulate spiritual energy and break into the room with his bare fists.

The door shook more violently than before, but it still didn't open.

The monks hiding behind the trees and in the bushes started discussing again.

"No way, Xia Miao can't even open a door?"

"Is this the strength of a special envoy? It's not that great."

"Keep your voice down. He is at the Golden Core stage after all. Can you beat him?"

……

Xia Miao couldn't hold back his anger any longer, so he held the scabbard and slashed straight at Xie Zhiqiu's gate.

The first time, Xie Zhiqiu thought she was hallucinating. Who would dare to break her protective formation so blatantly in broad daylight?

The second time, she was sure that it was not an illusion, so she came out to see what was going on. As soon as she came out, she saw that her courtyard gate had split into four pieces and flew away.

He cursed loudly: "Who the hell dares to break into my door?"

Xia Miao heard Xie Zhiqiu's voice, but his face turned black. This Zhao Qiu was simply too vulgar.

Xie Zhiqiu was furious and wanted to settle the score with the culprit. When he saw a man standing at the door, he raised his fist and rushed over to kill him.

"If you dare to break my door, I'll let you know why flowers are so red."

Xia Miao didn't expect that Zhao Qiu was not only rude, but also barbaric.

However, he did not take Zhao Qiu's attack seriously. He grabbed Zhao Qiu's fist in the previous second, and was hit by another punch from Zhao Qiu in the next second and flew out directly.

Xie Zhiqiu laughed wildly and said, "You are so brave to take my punch."

The moment he flew out, Xia Miao's brain froze, but he reacted quickly, quickly adjusted his state, glided close to the ground for a while, and finally stabilized his body.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Qiu attacked him again. After being punched, he dared not take it lightly again.

When Xia Miao flew out, Xie Zhiqiu saw his face clearly, but she played dumb and pretended not to see it clearly.

Every punch he threw was so powerful.

This was a tough time for Xia Miao. He endured the pain in his hands and feet, avoided vital parts, and took every attack from Zhao Qiu.

With so many people watching here, he can't admit defeat.

I complained in my heart: This damn girl is so strong.

Half a minute later, Xia Miao told himself that if he continued like this, he would not have to handle the case anymore.

He immediately called out Xie Zhiqiu's name, trying to get her to stop, "Zhao Qiu, Zhao Qiu..."

"Why am I calling you grandpa? It's no use calling you grandpa." Xie Zhiqiu didn't even raise his head and kept attacking Xia Miao.

Xia Miao: I’m calling you, at least look at the person.

"I'm Xia Miao, don't forget... we still have business to attend to."

Xie Zhiqiu pretended to have just reacted and clamped Xia Miao's hands.

She raised her head, squinted her eyes, pretending to confirm whether he was Xia Miao, and asked uncertainly: "Are you really Xia Miao?"

Xia Miao forced a smile and said, "It's genuine."

"I don't believe it. I remember Xia Miao didn't look like this. Don't think of using his name to get away with it here."

Xia Miao's fists were hardened. He seriously suspected that this person did it on purpose, but he endured it and said to her: "If you don't believe me, ask other people."

Then he looked at the people hiding behind the trees, stared at them fiercely and asked: "Do you think I am Xia Miao?"

If he could break free from Zhao Qiu's restraints, why should he be so servile?

Those people didn't really want to offend Xia Miao, so they echoed, "Yes, yes, he is Xia Miao."

Xie Zhiqiu finally let Xia Miao go and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm a little face-blind sometimes."

Xia Miao rubbed his wrist and walked straight into Zhao Qiu's yard.

Xie Zhiqiu followed reluctantly, and with a "bang", he pushed the door that had split into four pieces back into place.

Then he asked loudly: "Fellow Daoist Xia, you broke my door and destroyed my protective formation. Is this how you plan to compensate me?"

Just as they were about to leave, everyone pricked up their ears when they heard this.

With a "bang", the door that had just been erected fell down again.

Everyone thought that Xia Miao was angry and broke the door again.

"It's just a broken door. I'll buy it." Xia Miao threw a bag of spirit stones to Zhao Qiu.

As for the person involved, Xie Zhiqiu, after counting the spirit stones, very flatteringly moved the fallen door in front of Xia Miao and said, "I'm giving it to you. You can do whatever you want with it."

Everyone saw the little female cultivator struggling to move the fallen door to Xia Miao.

After today, word spread in the City Affairs Office that Xia Miao failed to forcefully seize a female cultivator, and became enraged and humiliated, so he destroyed the cultivator's door and formation, and used his power to oppress and abuse the female cultivator.

The version that was circulated at the beginning was normal, but for some reason, it became increasingly strange.

From liking the female cultivator, to liking her door, to liking her formation, to liking her yard, to liking her trees...

But the ending is similar, they all get angry out of shame and destroy it if they can't get it.

When Xia Qiao heard the rumors, he called Xia Miao back and gave him a good lecture: "Xia Miao, if you want something, just tell Uncle Qiao. Don't do those things again. It's a disgrace to our Xia family."

Xia Miao didn't understand, so after he left, he immediately asked a good brother about it, and he was so confused.

*

Xie Zhiqiu followed Xia Miao out of the city and returned to the place where A Zheng died to check if there were any missed clues.

Xie Zhiqiu looked at the clean crime scene and was impressed by how powerful the city guards were for cleaning it so cleanly.

Xia Miao is also stupid. There is no way he can find any clues. It would be better to look for it on the corpse.

"We'll set up camp here tonight."

Xie Zhiqiu jumped up and down, "Are you sick? Why are you sleeping in a place where people died in a fierce battle? Why didn't you say you wanted to dance on someone's grave?"

"Dinging? You can if you want." Xia Miao didn't understand what Zhao Qiu meant, but she felt that it was not a good thing, so she threw the original words back to her.

Xie Zhiqiu clenched his fists and thought: Don’t let me get the chance, kid.

Finally, the two of them lit a fire at a slightly farther distance, and Xie Zhiqiu leaned against a tree and slept.

Xia Miao didn't sleep. He just stared at Xie Zhiqiu, waiting for the "rabbit" to hit him.

midnight.

Xia Miao woke up Xie Zhiqiu and whispered, "Zhao Qiu, Zhao Qiu, get up quickly, the rabbit is coming."

Xie Zhiqiu was not conscious yet. He put on the invisibility talisman in a daze and followed Xia Miao.

When he saw clearly, Xie Zhiqiu felt that his brain was not enough, there were three people against one beast.

What’s going on with the three owners of Nan Ke and Tie Zhuang?
