This place is perfect; it offers a view of most of Changping Square, yet it’s hard for the average person to reach here.
As soon as he saw a peddler walking into Yuzhu Alley, Zhao Ya had a rough idea.
After all, this was the tenth peddler to enter Yuzhu Alley in just a few minutes.
Besides that, there were seven vegetable sellers, three selling candied hawthorns, and one fortune-teller with a fake front.
Zhao Ya chuckled lightly, "No imagination at all!"
Considering it’s broad daylight, and the theater is not even open, most people living in the alley are sleeping; who would come out to buy anything?
These small vendors are cunning, they know this, and would never head to Yuzhu Alley in the middle of the day.
Obviously, these peddlers, vegetable sellers, and candied hawthorn vendors are all in disguise.
Their purpose is self-evident; they must all be after Mo Qi.
Zhao Ya didn’t expect Mo Qi to be hiding in Yuzhu Alley.
The saying ’the most dangerous place is the safest’ doesn’t apply here. Yuzhu Alley is just one street, making it easy to catch a turtle in the jar here.
So the safest approach should be to run as far as possible.
It seems Mo Qi is likely very injured, so much that he had to risk hiding nearby.
Just as Zhao Ya was pondering this, Rao Mingyue appeared at the mouth of the alley carrying a bundle.
He sneakily looked around, and when he saw "no one" paying attention to him, he hurriedly walked into the depths of the alley.
These tricks might fool ordinary people, but to a master, it’s like having the words ’guilty conscience’ written on your forehead.
Zhao Ya laughed silently but didn’t move because he knew more people would come soon.
Sure enough.
Not long after Rao Mingyue disappeared at the mouth of the alley, a group of people appeared on the street.
The leader was Bai Zonglin.
He glanced at the alley before him, a slight cold smile on his lips.
"Seal off the alley entrance; no one is allowed to pass."
"Yes!"
"The rest of you, follow me!"
Bai Zonglin led the group into the alley.
Witnessing this scene, Zhao Ya, from the distant rooftop, changed his clothes.
Before coming, he was already prepared. To avoid drawing attention, the clothes had been specially modified, significantly altering his physique once worn.
Subsequently, Zhao Ya put on a ferocious Yaksha mask and leaped into the layers of eaves, disappearing.
Rao Mingyue quickly walked to the door, relaxed seeing the lock still intact.
He entered after unlocking it, relocking it from the inside before hastening to the backyard.
"Mr. Mo, I bought the medicine back. How should we brew it this time?" Rao Mingyue asked excitedly.
Mo Xu was lying on the bed in the woodshed, adjusting his Qi Blood when he heard Rao Mingyue calling. He slowly opened his eyes.
"You didn’t encounter anything unusual on the way, did you?"
"No, just that there were Four Seas Gang members checking passersby when I went out, but they only glanced at me before letting me through."
"Checking passersby?" Mo Xu’s heart skipped a beat.
These past few days, Changping Square had been peaceful, which puzzled Mo Xu the most.
Why did everything suddenly calm down?
However, this is good news nonetheless.
Unexpectedly, in just two or three days, the situation became tense, with the Four Seas Gang openly checking people on the street. Aren’t they afraid of startling the snake?
Or are they doing it on purpose?
Mo Xu frowned deeply.
Seeing his unpleasant expression, Rao Mingyue quickly said, "Mr. Mo, don’t worry. I was very careful on my way back and made sure no one was following before entering."
Mo Xu forced a wry smile.
He knows too well the methods of the Four Seas Gang, and if Lang Songbai, who injured him, was the one tracking, even a Martial Dao expert might fall into the trap, let alone the unskilled Rao Mingyue.
At this moment, knocks suddenly sounded from the front yard.
Knock, knock, knock!
The crisp knocking sound shattered the tranquility of the yard, making Rao Mingyue shudder.
Originally confident that nothing would happen, his face instantly turned pale with fear as he looked at Mo Xu.
"Mr... Mr. Mo."
Mo Xu sighed.
Despite his injuries and weakened senses from depleted Qi Blood, he couldn’t hear what was happening outside.
Yet with a little thought, he could tell that the street outside must be bustling at this moment.
"Don’t panic, go open the door and say I’m in the backyard. Tell them I forced you; they shouldn’t harm you."
Things have reached this point; words were futile, so Mo Xu had to speak gently to reassure him.
Unexpectedly, Rao Mingyue, whom he thought to be paralyzed with fear, quickly calmed down.
"No need for that, it was my choice to rescue, so be it. Death is all there is to it; I’m not afraid," Rao Mingyue declared.
He headed to the front yard. Just as he reached the yard, the knocking resumed.
"Coming, coming, who is it, knocking so early!" Rao Mingyue called out impatiently, pretending to be annoyed.
A voice came from outside, "Your Class Leader asked me to bring you some vegetables. Little Yue, please open the door."
After a moment of hesitation, Rao Mingyue finally opened the door.
He knew he couldn’t hide.
Sure enough, a vegetable vendor stood outside. Seeing Rao Mingyue, the vendor smiled.
