The villain always thinks I'm stupid

The fat shopkeeper has nothing to say to Bai Lian's logic, but anyway, his own Shenglian Pavilion has also made some money, so naturally he will not talk too much to remind Ye Mingjue.

It's just that when he looked at Bai Lian's sly smile when he bent his eyes, he suddenly felt cold all over, and subconsciously moved away.

"I want to ask you to investigate something." Bai Lian suddenly said at this moment, "It's about Ye Mingjue's background."

The fat shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "This...we are not responsible for this kind of thing here. If you want to, you can go to Wantong Pavilion. They are the place that specializes in selling information."

"Stop coming." Bai Lian smiled, "I know that Shenglian Pavilion has its own intelligence network, so don't try to fool me."

Looking at the pair of clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through his heart, the fat shopkeeper was suddenly sweating from shock, not daring to hide anything: "But...we never take business from outsiders, you see...?"

Bai Lian didn't talk nonsense, and directly found a small paper crane. The paper crane was covered in white, with only a little plum blossom-like red on the top of its head. It looked delicate and lovely: "If you are not sure, ask the people above you , Show him this, and he will naturally understand."

The fat shopkeeper knew that Bai Lian had a great status, so he immediately nodded in response and reached out to pick up the paper crane. When he curiously sent his spiritual power over, the paper crane flapped its wings and flew in mid-air as if alive, with its head twisted. A little bit is very cute.

"What a wonderful spell, it can make a paper bird fly." The fat shopkeeper couldn't help but sigh in admiration, he had never seen such an incredible spell.

Bai Lian watched him study repeatedly, but explained: "It's called a paper crane, read the content of the investigation to it, and it will naturally come looking for me."

The fat shopkeeper couldn't stop nodding. After Bai Lian showed his hand, he had already identified Bai Lian as one of the high-level monks with great supernatural powers in his heart, and he didn't dare to neglect him at all.

At this moment, Ye MingJue walked down contentedly.

Immediately afterwards, the fat shopkeeper saw what he thought was a mysterious high-ranking monk, his expression changed instantly, he walked to Ye Mingjue with a soft and pure smile, obediently raised his small face and waited for Ye Mingjue's response, like a well-behaved bird cute bunny.

It was completely opposite to the coercive and terrifying appearance just now.

...Could it be that the bosses like to play this game now?

The fat shopkeeper opened his eyes.

After leaving the Holy Lotus Pavilion, Ye MingJue was still thinking about Niu Manke and that Xiao Shi.If he wanted to find accurate information, he needed the power of the Demon Sect. Now he wished he could fly back to the Demon Sect and send someone to investigate immediately.

Speaking of which...why did he wander the streets idly?

Ye Mingjue frowned and pondered for a while, then stopped abruptly.

Straight away, he reached out and pressed Bai Lian's shoulder, who was about to pull him to the teahouse. Ye Mingjue's eyes were cold, and he asked word by word, "Do you still remember our purpose?"

Bai Lian blinked: "Shopping?"

"..."

Seeing someone speak out his heart decisively, Ye MingJue took a deep breath and gritted his teeth a bit more: "Lotus Bodhisattva, you said you would take me to look for it. Or are you just lying to me?"

The last sentence was spoken in a low and cold voice, even his eyes were a bit chilly, it seemed that as long as Bai Lian dared to admit it, his hidden killing intent would burst out completely.

As if startled by his aura, Bai Lian's body trembled slightly, his eyes seemed to be covered with mist, and his face was full of innocence: "But, you have already eaten it."

Ye MingJue was stunned, even his killing intent was frozen in place: "...what?"

He subconsciously checked his dantian, and he found that his cultivation base had recovered a little.Although he didn't notice it just because he didn't perceive it carefully, it also proved that he no longer had any fear of his life.

He carefully recalled the bits and pieces that happened during this period, and fixed the memory in the Spring Breeze Tower when Bai Lian handed some fruits to him flatteringly: "That emerald green fruit?"

Seeing Bai Lian nodding, Ye MingJue fell into silence without a word.

He recalled the impulse that almost threw Bodhi away, and broke into a cold sweat for no reason.

"...Why didn't you say it then?" He looked at Bai Lian helplessly.

Bai Lian's eyes drifted to the side, she flattened her mouth, and said aggrievedly: "You were so fierce just now, I won't tell you."

Ye MingJue: "...It's my fault, I was too arbitrary."

Bai Lian still kept his face away and didn't want to look at him, which made Ye Mingjue a little headache, it was the first time that Tangtang Mozun humbly coaxed others, unexpectedly, he was not annoying.

"I invite you to drink tea? Forgive me?"

Only then did Bai Lian's expression turn: "That's settled."

He only coaxed him back with a simple promise, and seeing Bai Lian smiling happily, Ye Mingjue couldn't help but smile a little.

"I didn't tell you at the time because..." Bai Lian squeezed the fabric by her side, lowered her eyes slightly, and her eyelashes moved like trembling flower branches, "I told you that you were leaving, I didn't want to... let you go."

Even the cold-tempered Ye Mingjue couldn't help being startled when he heard this sentence.

The young man lowered his head pitifully like an abandoned puppy, his fair face seemed to be covered with a layer of haze, his thick eyelashes cast a small light shadow under his eyes, his eyelids lifted slightly, and his eyes were full of tears. Vulnerability and longing.

Ye MingJue's expression was complicated, he never thought it would be this kind of result.

Bai Lian told him the first lie in history, but it was to stop him temporarily.

Whether it's the seemingly unreasonable shopping or talking, they just want to keep him.

This is a very strange mood. The seeds sprouted softly in his heart, and they are trying hard to break through the ground, which made his whole heart start to be restless.

He moved his lips and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Why don't you want me to go?"

Seeing his eyes flickering, looking eager or looking forward, the system keenly grasped his emotions, and reminded: "According to my judgment, now is an excellent time to increase his favorability, let's go!"

So Bai Lian held Ye Mingjue's hand sincerely, and expressed his heartbroken heart:

"—Because I don't have any spirit stones anymore, what can I do if you leave! Good brother, save me!!"

"..."

The strange emotion in his heart instantly shattered to pieces, Ye Mingjue turned and left expressionlessly.

Bai Lian hurriedly pulled him back: "Teasing you, how can the relationship between us be so cheap!"

Ye MingJue sneered: "I'll give you another chance to organize your words."

Bai Lian smiled softly at him: "Of course it's because you are very interesting. It's rare to meet one in a thousand years. I can't bear you."

Millennium is really an exaggeration, Ye Mingjue just thought he was flattering himself, shook his head and didn't take it to heart.

He suddenly remembered that except for the restaurant at the beginning, he was the one who paid for the whole journey, and Bai Lian was obviously very happy when he said that he wanted to treat guests, so he couldn't help really suspecting that Bai Lian didn't have many spirit stones.

Seeing that Bai Lian had saved his life a few times, Ye MingJue thought for a while and said, "I'll stay here for another night, and I'll stay here tonight, and I'll give you some spirit stones tomorrow. You go back."

Bai Lian asked expectantly, "Can't I continue to follow you?"

"No." Ye MingJue didn't discuss this point, "What I'm going to do is very dangerous, you're not suitable."

Hearing what he said, Bai Lian had no choice but to nod regretfully, but no one saw the sharp flash in his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Ye Mingjue suddenly understood the reason why he occasionally had killing intent towards Bai Lian, but every time it calmed down strangely.

Knowing the general situation, knowing how to advance and retreat, every time he gets stuck on the edge of his bottom line and tries crazily, but he never takes one more step.

For example, Bai Lian never asked him why he was hunted down or the origin of the name Ye Mingjue, and because he didn't ask, they could still walk side by side like this.

Afterwards, the two went to drink tea according to Bai Lian's plan. Ye Mingjue took the opportunity to use the amulet to contact the subordinates of the Demon Cult. Now that the first layer of poison has been removed, it's time for him to move on to the next step. .

It was already sunset when the subordinates of the Devil's Cult got contact and found it, and it was the time when Ye Mingjue and Bai Lian were having dinner on the first floor of the inn.

Ye Mingjue felt the turbulence of the spell, and immediately pretended to go to the toilet and came to meet his subordinates in an empty corner.

There were six subordinates who came to look for him at the first time, and the leader was his right protector Equation.At this time, the six subordinates knelt down and saluted one after another, calling out to your lord!

"Your Majesty, it's great that you're fine." The right protector Fang Fang raised his head, revealing a rather handsome face.His dark blue attire made his face quite cold and arrogant, even though his brows were full of worry, and his long and narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, he still looked like he was looking down.

This kind of appearance is not pleasing, especially when standing with Ye Mingjue's paralyzed face, the atmosphere is even more weird.

Ye Mingjue knew that Equation was not the best choice, but among his subordinates, Equation was the only one with the highest level of cultivation, and he had no choice: "I have a severe poison in my body, and I need to go to various places to find the antidote. This trip should not be publicized. Be careful with the disguise, the equation will go with me."

"As for other people, I also have tasks to give, but I will discuss this in detail later. You first look for a sword cultivator in the city. He is dressed in black, has a cold face, his cultivation is unfathomable, and his body is full of murderous intent. I can identify it. If you find it, don’t act rashly to tell me. If you don’t find it, go to the guest room at Xushi. Remember, be careful not to disturb other people.”

After he made detailed instructions, he immediately returned to the inn in fear that Bai Lian would become suspicious.

"Sorry, it's been a while." He sat down without changing his expression, and deliberately explained something.

"It's not so long." Bai Lian looked at him with sympathetic eyes, and picked up a quick cold dish for him: "Eat more of this, and reduce the fire."

"..."

After eating and drinking enough, the two got up and went to their respective rooms to rest for a while. It didn't take long before Bai Lian knocked on the door of Ye MingJue's room.

A certain person asked Ye Mingjue to do something for him on the grounds of being a favor.

Ye Mingjue was prepared for trouble, but Bai Lian said that he only wanted the roast duck sold in the west of the city.

Ye MingJue laughed: "You still want to eat after eating?"

Bai Lian waved her hands indifferently: "We are monks and we don't know how to hold on. I heard that the roast duck here is quite delicious. Let's try it together?"

Reluctantly, Ye MingJue shook his head because he was stupid enough to use Mozun's favor on such a trivial matter, but because parting was imminent, it was rare for him to willingly agree to help in a soft mood.

Holding the mentality that it would be okay to let his subordinates wait in his room, he walked on the street calmly and unhurriedly along the way.

However, when he returned to the guest room with the roast duck, his expression suddenly changed and he pushed open the door.

Inside the room, Bai Lian, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, had a tense face, propping her side face up with one hand and gently lowering her eyes.The warm candlelight hit his face, but it didn't add any warmth to this peaceful face.

On the ground, a bunch of people were firmly tied up with ropes, three on the left and three on the right, neatly arranged.

But when Ye Mingjue took a closer look, he found that these people were his subordinates!

Well, the one with the highest strength is also among them, his whole body is like a wilted eggplant, his nose is bruised and his face is swollen, and he is paralyzed on the ground. At a glance, he seems to have suffered some cruel punishment.

The white ripples without a single strand of hair at the third level of cultivation, the equation of the sixth level of cultivation with a bruised nose and swollen face... Ye Mingjue couldn't understand it, how could the weakest one be unscathed.

"What exactly is going on?"

A question mark appeared on Ye Mingjue's head from the bottom of his heart.

The author has something to say:

Ye Mingjue: The way I opened the door must be wrong!

Bai Lian: It seems that you understand my feelings.
