Turn the villain into a sweetie

Yu Bolan and Huai Mo looked at each other.

Yu Bolan looked around and pointed to a relatively hidden corner with his chin: "Go there and talk."

Although most of the monks have gone to participate in the ceremony now, and there are no people around, but just to be on the safe side, it's better to be careful.

Ruan Xi nodded and walked straight over.

Several people came under a big tree.

Huai Mo looked at her vigilantly, then at Yu Bolan, stepped forward, and stood between the two of them.

Yu Bolan looked at Huai Mo and couldn't help laughing.

He gently hooked Gou Huaimo's fingertips from behind.

But he quickly stopped laughing.

"You just come here, is it okay?" Yu Bolan glanced at Ruan Xi, "Just left the ceremony like this?"

Ruan Xi shook his head: "It will be fine, the owner of our Sanchun Pavilion is there."

"Pavilion Master?" Yu Bolan was stunned for a moment, "Why didn't I see it just now?"

"He..." Ruan Xi was a little hesitant, looking a little embarrassed, "The situation of the pavilion master is a bit special..."

Seeing the other party hesitating, Yu Bolan didn't bother to ask.

Left and right are nothing but Sanchun Pavilion's own business.

"If you don't want to say it, you don't need to say it," Yu Bolan changed the subject, "What happened to Yuan Liqi?"

"He lost contact," Ruan Xi said hastily, "Yesterday, people from Xuantianzong came to him and took him away. He hasn't come back yet."

Yu Bolan frowned.

"Who is this?" he asked. "Who is looking for him?"

"The person who came was a boy. According to him, it was... a disciple of Dao'an sect who wanted to see Yuan Liqi." Ruan Xi replied.

Huai Mo tightened Yu Bolan's hand suddenly.

Yu Bolan was also stunned.

The disciples under Dao'an's sect, isn't that...Ji'ang?

"I know this request is very abrupt." Seeing that the two did not respond for a long time, Ruan Xi was a little anxious, "but...there are only two people I can think of right now... We are from the small family of Sanchun Pavilion, and we really can't make it Hand out."

He also said: "I sent someone to ask this morning, but Xuantianzong didn't reply for a long time."

"The most important thing is," she took out another jade token from her waist, "our sect's jade token cannot contact him at all."

Yu Bolan and Huai Mo looked at each other.

Huai Mo scratched his palm.

"What do you want us to do?" Huai Mo said slowly.

"I...you two have high cultivation bases, I want you to find the young master." Ruan Xi hesitated.

"Although he met us before he disappeared," Huai Mo said expressionlessly, "but you must know that we are not responsible for his disappearance."

"I know," Ruan Xi said softly, "but we really have nothing to do here, and I am very worried about the young master."

"But thinking you know each other, maybe you can help..."

"I can pay."

When they heard the word "remuneration", the eyes of both of them lit up.

"How much?" Yu Bolan asked directly.

This matter is related to Ji An, he and Huai Mo originally planned to take a look.

But since the other party has made the reward clear, he will naturally not let it go away easily.

"You have to know what kind of place Xuantianzong is," Yu Bolan said intentionally, "It's quite dangerous to investigate in such a big sect."

"Should Yuan Liqi really encounter any danger, it will be a very troublesome task for us to rescue him..."

His tail lengthened slightly, looked at Ruan Xi, and put pressure on her appropriately.

Ruan Xi was really taken aback.

She pursed her lips, thinking to herself.

Yu Bolan was right, her request really meant to push the other party into the kang.

Although Yuan Liqi was not a good young master, he deviated from the scriptures and always gave her headaches, but he was indeed irreplaceable.

Either way... well worth the big bucks.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and compared the number "four" to Yu Bolan.

"How much?" Yu Bolan raised his eyebrows.

"40 spirit stones," Ruan Xi nodded slightly, "Sanchun Pavilion is willing to give out 40 spirit stones, and I beg you two to help us find our young master."

Yu Bolan took a breath.

"You guys are very generous," Yu Bolan smiled, "But how do I know, what effect do you say?"

As soon as the words fell, a waist card was thrown over.

Yu Bolan reached out to take it, only to see the word "Ruan" engraved on the silver waist tag.

"This is a badge that symbolizes my identity, so it's taken as a mortgage," Ruan Xi said, "I will pay the two of you after the matter is completed."

Yu Bolan thought for a moment, put away his badge, and curled his lips: "Deal."

"In that case, I'll trouble you both," Ruan Xi bowed, "I'm going back to the venue first, I can't leave for too long, so I'm taking my leave."

Yu Bolan nodded and watched her leave.

"We have something to do." After Ruan Xi walked away, Yu Bolan turned his head, looked at Huai Mo beside him, and sighed.

"Ji An," Huai Mo looked at him thoughtfully, "Why did he kidnap Yuan Liqi?"

"Is there anything special about him?" Huai Mo asked softly.

"Puppet art," Yu Bolan lowered his eyes slightly, "this is the only thing I can think of, what is special about him."

After all, in the entire world of cultivating immortals, there are very few people who know puppet art.

"Think about it," Yu Bolan said, "Could it be that Yuan Liqi, that incomprehensible guy, doesn't want to come back?"

But as soon as he said it, he denied himself: "No."

Huai Mo also said: "He has already agreed to cooperate with us, so he won't leave so soon."

Saying so, he took out a charm.

"Oh?" Yu Bolan narrowed his eyes as he stared at the fairly familiar talisman.

"Ask He San," Huai Mo said, "Although she has no real power, you can still inquire about such matters."

With that said, he picked up the talisman and slowly poured spiritual power into it.

The talisman emits a yellowish glow.

Huai Mo briefly described what was going on now.

After a while, a pale yellow light began to flicker.

Huai Mo closed his eyes.

After a while, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Yu Bolan: "She gave me an answer, she said she was going to ask."

Yu Bolan nodded.

When He San's message was received, the sky had already darkened.

According to He San, after Yuan Liqi entered Ji'ang's study room, he never came out again.

As for the others, she couldn't ask much, and she didn't dare to offend Dao'an, so she could only provide the location of Ji An's study.

After learning of Yuan Liqi's exact movements, the two were ready to leave.

"Jiang again..." Yu Bolan muttered, "What the hell is this guy trying to do?"

Huai Mo straightened his sword without saying a word.

"You don't want to go," Huai Mo said slowly after a while, "I can go by myself."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yu Bolan was taken aback for a moment, then pinched his face lightly, "Of course we're going together."

Huai Mo just looked at him and didn't speak.

Yu Bolan naturally understood what he was thinking and smiled.

He touched the dumpling on his shoulder: "Don't worry, there is a dumpling here, what happened last time will not happen again."

Tuanzi blinked, then nodded vigorously.

Huai Mo pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Yu Bolan stretched out his hand to him: "Let's go, I'll use my invisibility ability to sneak in."

Huai Mo hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and held him: "En."

Yu Bolan held his hand, interlocked his fingers, and activated the ability of invisibility.

Following the route given by He San, the two came to Ji An's study.

There are many monks guarding the study room, and the security is quite strict.

But the invisible two naturally sneaked in without any effort.

Ji An is not in the study now, and the study is empty now.

Yu Bolan glanced around the furnishings of the study, and unexpectedly found that it was very similar to the second floor of Tianxin Pavilion.

"An Ze?" He murmured, "How could this be?"

"Ji An and An Ze, are they the same person?" Huai Mo asked softly, fixing his eyes on a row of bookshelves.

"Looking at the current situation, it's true," Yu Bolan replied, "It's just... I can't tell now what the relationship between the two of them is."

"Symbiosis?" Huai Mo didn't look back, and seemed to say casually, "The two of them use the same body, but they both have their own abilities. No matter how you look at it, they are two people."

Added: "Two equally disgusting fellows."

Yu Bolan smiled and rubbed his hair, lowered his head, but saw that the other party's eyes kept hitting the bookshelf, and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"I don't know," Huai Mo shook his head, "I just think it's a bit weird... Everything in this study looks normal."

It does appear to be so.

Yu Bolan thought to himself.

But he remembered that one of the things the protagonist in the original text is best at is digging holes.

Accustomed to arranging all kinds of strange secret passages.

With this in mind, he began to inspect this ordinary-looking study.

Invisibility also has a time limit, so his current situation is also a bit urgent.

But when the two of them were deep in this, there was a sudden noise outside.

Ji An is back.

Yu Bolan hurriedly grabbed Huai Mo, and moved into the corner with him.

I saw that after Ji An came back, he went straight to the bookshelf. He took down a book, spread it out, took out a small dagger, and stabbed it directly into the book. An entrance appeared.

Ji An put the book back to its original place as if nothing had happened, and walked down leisurely.

Yu Bolan and Huai Mo looked at each other, then nodded, and hurriedly followed before the entrance was closed.

[Di——Congratulations to the host for achieving the achievement of "The Protagonist's Secret". Achievement points: 60, now achievement points: 75. 】

Yu Bolan turned a deaf ear to the system's broadcast, and only focused on the situation in front of him.

The structure of this secret passage is somewhat similar to the underground palace of the demons, so Yu Bolan will not be too uncomfortable.

At this moment, Ji An opened a door and walked in.

The two followed.

But was stunned.

In the prison in front of him, the blood-stained young man with his lower body soaked in water and his upper body hung by a rope, is it not Yuan Liqi?
