After being hit in the face by the system, I swapped bodies with Zhongli

Yuan Zhuoyue was basically fighting. No matter which of the two men was the bigger problem, if any emergency really occurred, he would capture both of them in one fell swoop.

Then she thought about finding out the hidden secret behind it, but she didn't expect that she was slightly relaxing her perception.

While observing the two suspicious persons in this more discerning way, I made an unexpected discovery on this land.

Although this village is not remote, they could have noticed it when they passed by the road in the village earlier.

In this village, most of the people left here are old people and children, and there are not many young and strong laborers.

Considering this place, adjacent to Liyue Harbor, this commercially developed city will continuously attract labor to gather in this port city.

After all, digging food from the soil is a relatively long process. Even if you work in the fields for a month, it is not possible to harvest enough vegetables to fill your stomach.

It doesn't seem to be the busy farming season now, so instead of sitting at home all day, it is better to go out and find a short job to earn some money to supplement the family income.

After Yuan Zhuoyue entered the village, he made this speculation based on his previous experience.

She couldn't be sure whether her speculation was completely correct, but based on her own subjective feelings, she felt that her speculation was correct.

And now, in this village where there are basically only the elderly and the weak, she felt the traces of two waves of strong young people.

One of the waves was the closest and was scattered around the house, but Yuan Zhuoyue had already seen it before.

Those houses have been in disrepair for many years, and many of their windows are broken. There is no way to seal them.

That would mean that there must have been no one living there for a short period of time.

The other group hid further away, in a small cave in the mountains.

Is this normal? It's definitely not normal.

Yuan Zhuoyue, who had already accurately located the group, naturally wanted to see who these two people were. After a moment, Yuan Zhuoyue, who had figured out the origins of these two groups of people, fell into deep thought.

There were people scattered around the houses, hiding in those dilapidated, almost abandoned and uninhabited houses, all wearing uniform clothes and carrying armor and weapons.

They can be regarded as the type of people that Yuan Zhuoyue is most familiar with during this period, because when she and the other immortals are strolling on the streets, they can always run into the Qianyan Army on duty and patrol.

And now those hiding in the house are a group of Qianyan soldiers...

Although such behavior inevitably raises many questions, the fact that they dare to wear uniform clothes and wait here should not be due to any personal reasons.

In comparison, the other group of people hiding in the cave, wrapping themselves tightly with only a pair of eyes exposed, looked more suspicious.

If it was at the beginning, Yuan Zhuoyue would still be interested in exploring what was so strange about this middle-aged man.

But now that [filth] appeared right before his eyes, Yuan Zhuoyue's focus naturally shifted immediately.

In the past, when she dealt with these negative forces, she never took a roundabout way of dealing with them. Instead, she took a very clean and decisive step to nip in the bud any hidden dangers that might cause harm.

Therefore, Yuan Zhuoyue turned his gun around without hesitation, intending to eliminate the power of "filth" first, and then explore other hidden secrets.

After all, she really wanted to know what the middle-aged man's little secret looked like, and why he went through so much trouble to show up in front of Zhongli.

Yuan Zhuoyue felt that if she didn't figure it out, it would be like reading a novel that suddenly stopped updating at the most exciting part, making her feel very uncomfortable.

So while Paimon and the Traveler were still comforting the frightened old man, Yuan Zhuoyue was already standing in the yard, and the two of them walked over with their arms around each other's shoulders, acting like good brothers.

True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng remembered Guizhong's instructions, and naturally had not forgotten the repeated warnings of the Dragon King Ruotu, so he followed without hesitation.

Ringo Tiger seemed to be extremely courageous. When Yuan Zhuoyue walked towards him, he immediately turned his head and looked over.

He asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Mr. Zhongli, what's the matter?"

Before Yuan Zhuoyue started to speak, the middle-aged man had already started to explain: "The jade pendant I was looking for earlier was the substitute that Mr. Zhongli and Lady Xianyun selected... Unfortunately, even though my father was old and dim-sighted, he recognized at a glance that it was not that jade pendant."

The middle-aged man looked at Yuan Zhuoyue and said, "Mr. Zhongli said before that this trip might not be so smooth, but I didn't expect it to be so... I wonder if Mr. Zhongli has any other solutions?"

Yuan Zhuoyue had a warm smile on his face and said in a low and gentle voice: "...Please wait for a moment, brother."

Then he looked at Ringo Tiger and said, "I have something to discuss with you, could you please move aside and talk for a moment?"

Although Ringuhu was a little confused, after hesitating for a moment, he agreed based on his trust in Zhongli.

After seeing him nod in agreement, Yuan Zhuoyue did not look for any secluded corner, but walked towards the distant ridge of the field.

Finally, they stopped in a relatively open place where they could see the scenes in all directions at a glance. Although Ringo Toui still had doubts when she saw this scene, she also followed.

Naturally, Master Liuyunjiefeng followed closely behind as usual.

Seeing that Yuan Zhuoyue finally stopped, Ringo Tiger just smiled and wanted to say a few polite words out of habit.

However, because of Yuan Zhuoyue's sudden words, the smile that had not yet appeared froze on her face.

Ringo-Hu only heard the tall figure in front of him say in a calm and peaceful voice: "Just now you controlled the mist and affected that person's mood."

The expression on Ringo Tiger's face changed several times, with astonishment, disbelief, and finally mixed together, and he made a surprised voice: "Mr. Zhongli, you can actually see it!?"

Then the surprised expression on his face subsided, and he looked enlightened: "Since Mr. Zhongli can preside over the ceremony of sending immortals to the emperor, I think he is not an ordinary person..."

But then he thought again, he was afraid that Mr. Zhongli would misunderstand this action of suddenly calling him here to talk alone, so he immediately explained: "Mr. Zhongli, please listen to my explanation. My action just now was not to do evil or harm others. It was because the origin of that person was different..."

Before he could finish his words, Yuan Zhuoyue nodded and said, "I know... but right now, your troubles are more serious."
