The villain always thinks I'm stupid

Ye MingJue had never seen such a miraculous sight.

After the word "Holy Lotus" rolled in gold rose into the air, it seemed as if all the first-level cultivations in his body that he could barely maintain had been blocked, and he had dropped to the point where he was no different from ordinary people.

Not to mention Yujian's attack, he couldn't even simply transfer his aura.

Looking up at the sword cultivator on the opposite side again, his face was full of astonishment, the sword suspended in the air fell to the ground with a thud, and no matter how hard he tried to control it, he couldn't control it.

"This is the imperial edict."

At this moment, the fat shopkeeper stroked his beard and said in a cold voice: "Private fighting is not allowed in the Holy Lotus Pavilion. If you have any connections, please leave the pavilion to solve it."

This is the talisman created by True Monarch Shenglian—the edict!

A look of surprise appeared in Ye Mingjue's eyes.

True Monarch Shenglian has practiced so many strange spells in his life that even his disciples cannot describe them all.

Ye Mingjue had heard the word "edict" before but never understood it too much. At first he thought that the world had deified Shenglian Zhenjun so much that it was not worth mentioning, but it was only now that he finally realized how amazing it was. spell.

The shopkeeper's cultivation base is only a fourth-order silver lotus, but he can mobilize orders to suppress monks who are stronger than him.In addition, there has never been an accident in the Holy Lotus Pavilion for so many years, which is enough to show the power of this edict.

Ye Mingjue was very fortunate that they happened to be hunted down near the Holy Lotus Pavilion. As long as he didn't go out, his life would be safe for the time being.

Seeing that Jian Xiu frowned and looked around, as if hesitating whether to retreat, Ye MingJue immediately took the first step and shouted at the shopkeeper: "Trap him!"

The fat shopkeeper was a little dissatisfied when he heard this. He just wanted to ensure the order of Shenglian Pavilion, and he was not responsible for meddling in the grudges of outsiders.

But before he could reprimand him, a somewhat gentle voice was transmitted to his ears, directly startling him.

"Do as he says."

There was no need to search for a gentle face. At a time when everyone's cultivation was suppressed, only the young man was able to communicate normally, and suddenly said a secret word that almost no one had mentioned for hundreds of years:

"—Open Sesame."

"!!"

The fat shopkeeper was terrified. This code was set by the former Shenglian Zhenjun. Only people with special identities will know it. There are no more than ten immortals in the world, but everyone who knows the code is a distinguished guest among the distinguished guests. neglect.

Now this code is almost equivalent to abolishing it, and he was quite shocked to hear it from such a young man.

"What's wrong? Is this code no longer used in Shenglian Pavilion?"

Hearing the displeasure in Bai Lian's tone, the fat shopkeeper shuddered, and immediately followed suit without hesitation: "Quick, trap him!"

Hearing what he said, the rest of the cultivators hiding in the dark immediately obeyed the order and immediately blocked the door tightly. One of them whipped out a whip and tied it to the sword cultivator's body two or three times to ensure that he had nowhere to escape.

It is natural for a sword cultivator without cultivation level to be caught. Although he wants to use his strong body to break free, for a cultivator who uses a whip, his strength is about the same as that of an ant. People are tied up.

Ye Mingjue was just saying it casually at first, but he really didn't expect Shenglian Pavilion to help him, he was a little startled, and then saluted the fat shopkeeper to thank him: "Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome." The fat shopkeeper's attitude became amiable with the naked eye. He glanced at Bai Lian who was silent, feeling apprehensive in his heart, and asked Ye Mingjue with a smile, "I don't know how the honored guest will deal with this person?"

"To be honest, this edict can only last for a stick of incense."

The implication is that after time passes, no one will be able to trap this powerful swordsman.

Ye Mingjue nodded slightly, and seized the time to ask the trapped Jianxiu, "Who are you?"

Jianxiu just stared at him indifferently, without saying a word.

Ye MingJue also knew that he would not reveal the information easily, so he raised his brows, picked up the sword lying on the ground and laid it across his neck, killing intent struck fiercely in an instant: "If you don't say anything, I'll kill you!"

Jianxiu raised his dark eyes and glanced at him, then calmly looked away again, as if he had seen through his bluff.

Ye Mingjue's murderous intent was even stronger in his heart, if he could bring him back to the Demon Sect for careful interrogation, the effect would be good, but now he doesn't have the time, secondly, he doesn't want to snatch the person captured by the Holy Lotus Pavilion, and thirdly, he doesn't want to be here on the spot For interrogation, I couldn't find a good method for a while.

Just as he was swaying, someone patted his shoulder, and Bai Lian's smiling face appeared in his field of vision: "Brother Ye, your method is too rough, so he won't respond to you."

Jianxiu's reaction undoubtedly confirmed his lines, Ye MingJue raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that you have a way?"

"I only know that it won't work to intimidate this fellow Taoist with his personality." Bai Lian said with a caring tone, "So you can be more gentle, maybe he will take the initiative to tell the inside story when his heart softens. "

Although he knew that this was the point that a fool like Bai Lian would put forward, Ye Mingjue learned a method without a teacher.

In the past, he would only interrogate and murder, using the harshest punishment to torture prisoners, but now he realized: "If you are willing to tell me the reason for hunting me down, I will let you go without any injuries, or give you Lingshi and the required resources, try to meet your needs, everyone present is a witness."

For the poor sword cultivator, the word "resources" was originally a powerful inducer, but the sword cultivator turned his eyes away indifferently, no matter what he said, he would not waver.

Ye MingJue had roughly figured out this person's temper, he was stubborn after all, the patience in his heart was about to be exhausted, and he almost wanted to kill him to relieve his hatred.

"It seems that this person doesn't pay attention to external things at all." Bai Lian also touched his chin and said leisurely.

Ye MingJue snorted coldly: "Then let his cultivation be abolished first, and then we will interrogate him slowly."

Bai Lian looked at him disapprovingly: "Brother Ye, how beautiful the world is, but you are so irritable, that's okay. Although he doesn't like money and has strength and status, I'm sure he has one very weak point. "

Ye MingJue was attracted by his words, and looked over with burning eyes: "What?"

Bai Lian smiled and said three words: "Beauty trick."

Ye Mingjue: "..."

It was the first time he heard that there was a beauty to be seduced during the interrogation, and his brows were tightly frowned.

"As the saying goes, a hero is saddened by a beauty. Usually, the more monks like him who are as calm as water, the weaker they are in this aspect."

Ye Mingjue always felt that this logic was not right, but he had nothing to refute, so he could only say: "Could it be possible that I still need to find him a beauty?"

"Why are you looking for it?" Bai Lian looked sincere, "Isn't there just one in front of you?"

"..."

Inexplicably, Ye Mingjue's mind came up with the phrase he said before, 'the horizon is far away and the eyes are close', his face suddenly turned black, and his whole body exuded an ultra-low air pressure.

"Bai Lian." He said the name word by word, with a sneer on his lips, "If you want to make me angry, congratulations on your success."

Moreover, it was the kind of killing intent that was so hateful that it itched to kill but felt a pity, constantly hesitating and probing.

After living for a hundred years, Ye Mingjue tasted this kind of love-hate feeling for the first time.

It's really... pretty amazing.

Bai Lian changed her words tactfully: "I mean... let me go, my appearance will definitely make him tell the truth!"

Ye Mingjue only felt that he was justifying, so he snorted coldly and took a step back, as if asking him to ask first.

Then he folded his arms around his chest leisurely, waiting for Bai Lian to return in vain, and then satirized her.

Bai Lian walked up to the sword repairer softly with moist eyes, and asked bluntly: "For the sake of my good looks, can you tell me your name? "

Ye Mingjue's sarcastic arc hadn't been fully aroused yet, seeing Jianben's cold-faced Jianxiu, who ignored no one, moved his lower lip hesitantly at the moment of Bai Lian's request: "Niuu...manke."

Ye Mingjue: ...

???

A series of question marks flashed across the screen in his mind, and his face was as stiff as petrified.

"Niu Manke?" Bai Lian had a meaningful smile on her face, especially when she saw Ye Mingjue's expression, she wanted to smile even more.

Obviously he secretly used the imperial edict to order people to tell the truth, but he was acting deliberately on the surface, "Thank you for being willing to tell me, this name is very interesting."

"..."

Not only was Ye Mingjue stunned in place by the shock, but even Niu Manke's face showed shock once again, he couldn't control his mouth!

Immediately, he stared at Bai Lian with probing eyes, but the person in front of him was supposed to have been sealed as well, so he shouldn't have such ability.

His eyes swept to the edict in the sky, and there was a trace of doubt in his heart.

'Well, I succeeded. '

At this moment, Bai Lian looked back at Ye Mingjue triumphantly, and made a very veiled gesture of victory, that proud look seemed to be saying that.

Ye MingJue suspected that he lived for a long time before he finally accepted the reality that Bai Lian had succeeded in a daze.

...Could it be that this sword cultivator has such a habit?

The weird thought that came out of his first reaction made him shake his head weirdly, no matter how he looked at it, this sword repairer didn't seem like someone who could succumb to a word.

Unless...unless someone secretly helps.

Seeing the fat shopkeeper who was using Zhenjun's edict, Ye Mingjue realized that it was probably because the shopkeeper couldn't stand them wasting time, so he offered a favor.

"Niu Manke? I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."

He began to think carefully about Niu Manke's information. A few days ago, it was rumored in the world of immortality that some famous sword cultivators received invitations one after another to compete with each other. The strange thing was that almost every sword cultivator who attended the appointment ended up seriously injured. .

The challenger is said to be called Niu Manke.

Could it be this person?

Ye Mingjue couldn't understand that such a powerful person who only practiced sword would be interested in his life.He quickly judged that someone was manipulating behind the scenes, and immediately asked: "What is your purpose, and who is behind it?"

Bai Lian repeated it in a soft voice.Although Niu Manke was full of resistance and did not want to answer, his body was quite frank:

"The purpose...to kill Ye and Mingjue."

Just a few words, but it made Ye Mingjue's eyelids twitch. After sneaking into the Devil's Cult, he called himself Ye Jiu, and almost no one knew his real name.

This person must know the relationship between him and Mrs. Ye!

"Where's the person behind it?" Thinking of this, Ye Mingjue's emotions suddenly became agitated.

He searched for clues to Ye's extermination that he hadn't found in a hundred years, and today he finally caught the fox's tail!

The bottom of my heart seemed to be burning with raging fire, and even my breathing inadvertently increased a lot.

His question met with unprecedented resistance from Niu Manke, his resolute side face was full of pain, his lips opened and closed several times, and finally he choked out a sound: "Xiao..."

"Xiao?" A layer of brilliance suddenly appeared in Ye Mingjue's eyes, but it's a pity that just after the brilliance appeared, the sound of glass breaking suddenly sounded, something round was thrown in, and when it hit the ground, it emitted strange black smoke.

"Not good!" The fat shopkeeper shouted immediately, "It's poisonous, hold your breath!"

Everyone quickly covered their faces with their sleeves and held their breath. Bai Lian immediately retreated behind Ye Mingjue, and was protected by Ye Mingjue's subconscious step.

After the poisonous gas in the room finally dissipated, the few people looked at the middle area again, and Niu Manke's figure had long since disappeared, and he seemed to have escaped from the window.

"Oh!" The fat shopkeeper looked at the shattered glass shards on the ground and felt distressed. "This is all specially refined. It can resist attacks with a seventh-level cultivation base. How come it shattered so easily!"

Ye Mingjue hated it to the extreme, subconsciously chased after the door and then retreated, the gloom in his eyes flashed away, and it was an emotional leak that slammed down on the pillar beside him.

"This shows that he has associates, he has a high level of cultivation, and is good at using poison." Taking a deep breath to summarize the information, Ye Mingjue repeated the surname Xiao several times, as if he wanted to chew this person to the bone , swallowed carefully.

He has always changed his mood very quickly, although he mentioned what he was thinking in his heart, but his expression was restored on his face.As if the angry and murderous person just now was not him at all, he also gave a deep bow to the fat shopkeeper: "Thanks to the shopkeeper's help, Ye can stand here unscathed, thank you very much."

"Where, it's all distinguished guests who want to help." The shopkeeper stroked his beard in return, and his upright attitude made Ye Mingjue believe that he was doing it secretly, and cast a grateful look.

The shopkeeper looked at the broken vases and glass that fell on the ground, his face full of pain, and he hesitated to speak: "It's a pity for my treasures."

Ye Mingjue immediately looked away, pretending he didn't see it.

Want him to compensate?Yes, yes, but no money.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper gave up quickly, and after writing all the accounts on Niu Manke, he greeted Ye Mingjue with a smile on his face: "I'm disturbing you today, but I need something, I finally came here Why not go upstairs and have a look?"

Ye Mingjue didn't have any money on hand, but he didn't want to take advantage of the shopkeeper's kindness.

When standing awkwardly at the same spot, Bai Lian suddenly leaned over and asked innocently: "We are surprised here, can we get a discount?"

Ye Mingjue's eyelids twitched, and he almost lost his expression.

It's fine if he doesn't compensate for the disaster he caused, but he even wants a discount from the store, which he would only agree to if he has a brain.

The next moment I was thinking like this, I saw the shopkeeper startled for a moment, then immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and smiled all over his face: "Of course, of course, how about [-]% off?"

Ye Mingjue: "..."

Miscalculation, this shopkeeper's stupidity is as good as Bai Lian's.

Bai Lian seemed to feel that it was a bit expensive, and turned to look at him hesitantly: "What do you think?"

Of course Ye MingJue wouldn't push himself further: "That's enough, thank you."

While thinking that Bai Lian is really lucky to be able to meet such a good thing when he is with him, he satisfactorily got up and went up to the second floor according to the shopkeeper's instructions.

After his figure disappeared, the shopkeeper hurriedly saluted Bai Lian respectfully, with a strange expression on his face: "According to the regulations, distinguished guests with tokens can take away three items in the cabinet for free, don't you know? "

"I know." Bai Lian smiled innocently: "I asked him, and he thought that a [-]% discount would be enough. Since he wants to spend money, why should we be polite?"

Anyway, the entire Shenglian Pavilion is his property, and if he can make a fortune, he won't lose money.

The author has something to say:

Bai Lian: Am I cheating?I asked him!All of you here are witnesses!
