Feng Yu Die pulled Li Longling to the corner of the room and asked her in a low voice about Wu Yue's history. Thus, she learned that Wu Yue was a bodyguard in the Core Formation stage assigned to her by Li Feng. She also had the jade talisman given by Li Feng to his trusted aides.
Although she still felt that there was something wrong with Wu Yue, if she still doubted it at this point, it would be the same as doubting Li Feng.
Before Li Longling left, Feng Yu Die asked her to issue her a pass to enter and exit the mansion. After a while, a guard came and handed her the approved pass.
However, while preparing to go out, Feng Yu Die thought for a while and said out of the blue, "Sister Xiao, do you think Sister Li's father might be colluding with the demonic cultivator?"
Xiao Yunluo, who had just changed into an undershirt and was about to go to the Dragon House martial arts grounds to practice the sword, heard these words, and a look of disbelief crossed her face.
"Hiss---you second idiot!! Do you know what you are talking about?!"
"Of course I know..."
Feng Yu Die pondered for a while and solemnly explained. "Sister Xiao, think carefully. Yesterday, a demonic cultivator from the Demonic Sect appeared in the Dragon House . His status is not ordinary, and Sister Li also suspected that there is a spy in the Dragon House ... So I was wondering, would it be possible for Li Feng and the demonic cultivator to have communicated with each other?"
"..."
"If Li Feng and the demonic cultivator colluded, then a lot of things could be explained. Such as, why is there a problem with the suppressing spell of the spirit veins here, but no one found out what the problem is? How could a Core Formation stage demonic cultivator sneak in unnoticed, bypassing the strong formation spells around the Dragon House ? Why is this Wu Yue by Sister Li's side giving me a bad feeling? Why..."
As Feng Yu Die said all this, Xiao Yunluo couldn't stand it any longer. She stepped forward and grabbed her cheeks, pulling them hard to the sides.
Feng Yu Die's face was pulled into a flat pie, and Xiao Yunluo glared at her angrily. Normally, she wouldn't take anything this idiot said seriously.
But this time was different!
"You second idiot!! Can you think ahead of what you are saying?! Master Li and my mother are old friends. Together, they drove away the demonic cultivators to the Eastern Region hundreds of years ago. They hate the demonic cultivators deeply. How could he be colluding with them?"
At this point, Xiao Yunluo realized that her voice was too loud, and it would be troublesome if the servants accidentally heard her. She quickly closed her mouth and warned Feng Yu Die with her eyes: If you dare to speak again, I'll beat you up!
Feng Yu Die suddenly thought of another possibility-- could Xiao Yunluo's mother also be involved with the demonic cultivators?!
Of course, she wouldn't dare to say this out loud.
She gently removed Xiao Yunluo's hands from her face and calmly explained herself again. "Sister Xiao, when we are out in the world, we must always be suspicious. The world of immortal cultivators is very cruel. This is what my master taught me."
Xiao Yunluo glanced at her. "Taught you what?"
Feng Yu Die raised her index finger and replied wisely, "Well! People are extremely fickle, and even more so are cultivators. A hero from a hundred years ago may become a villain a hundred years later. What someone did in the past cannot prove who they are now."
Xiao Yunluo was speechless. Since she couldn't think of a rebuttal at the moment, she simply ignored it and only said, "In short, I don't believe that Brother Li has any connection with the demonic cultivator. If he did, my mother would know immediately. Moreover, this is the extreme flaming spiritual veins in the Western Region . If there was any connection with the demonic cultivators, there was no way my mother would just sit idly and do nothing!"
"Alright then..." Feng Yu Die shrugged slightly. Seeing how upset she was, she stopped talking about this and changed the subject, asking, "So, are you really not going to Duchun City with me?"
"No! I'm going to practice my sword."
"Then, don't wander around while I'm away."
"Hmph!"
Bang--
Xiao Yunluo glared at her, picked up her sword, and left for the Dragon House martial arts practice ground.
Xiao Tian, who was hovering next to Feng Yu Die's head, crossed her arms and shook her head, saying: " Yu Die, it would be great if that kid Ye was here. Those words you just said, he would definitely agree with you. This Xiao girl is still too inexperienced ..."
Feng Yu Die glanced at her, but thinking about it, if she said those words to Ye Anping, indeed, he might really be willing to stand on her side.
"Sigh-- I have this feeling like something big is going to happen! I kind of want to take Sister Xiao and Sister Li and run away. If the problem is really this guy Li, I can't beat him."
" Ha ~" Xiao Tian snorted disdainfully. " When have you ever felt that you can't beat someone ?"
Feng Yu Die rolled her eyes. "How about I throw you over and smash his head?"
" Tch ~~ I'm going back in the house. Don't call me out today. The extremely flaming energy outside here is getting on my nerves ."
Xiao Tian waved her hand and flew into Feng Yu Die's head with a whoosh.
"Hey--"
Feng Yu Die sighed helplessly, then packed up her things, took the letter of passage, and flew toward Duchun City on her sword.
...
Under the scorching sun, the streets of Duchun City were sparsely populated, and almost everyone was now huddled in the roadside tea shops to cool off.
Wearing a sun hat, Feng Yu Die wandered the streets, looking for the figure of 'Young Master Jiang' from last time and asking about the fake Jiang Yu.
Initially, she had the impression of an evil person pretending to be someone else's young master, using this opportunity to make money. However, after asking around, she found that this "fake Jiang Yu" was actually quite popular in Duchun City .
Because the extreme flaming spiritual energy had become more and more intense in recent days, many commoners in the city have fallen ill from heatstroke. As a result, that person even spent spirit stones to hire doctors from Duchun City to treat the people at a very low price.
There were even some commoners who couldn't find work, so the Jiang Mansion provided some jobs, such as carrying goods or sowing herbs in the lower spiritual fields by the forest.
At least for the ordinary people in Duchun City , that "fake Jiang Yu" was like a living Buddha.
After wandering around for a while, Feng Yu Die finally found Jiang Yu.
With a small folding fan in hand, he sat under an umbrella at the door of a post station to cool off.
When Feng Yu Die saw him last time, he looked like a nobleman who had fallen out with his rich family and came out to beg for food. However, now he was cleanly dressed, his hair was neatly tied into a bun, and his face seemed to be a little more fleshy.
Feng Yu Die was just about to walk over to say hello when Jiang Yu stood up to greet her.
"Sister, do you want to send a letter or a package? Please bring it inside~~"
Feng Yu Die paused for a moment, then took off the bamboo hat on her head and greeted him with a smile. "I haven't seen you for two days, Young Master Jiang. You seem to be doing well."
"Eh?"
Seeing Feng Yu Die's face, Jiang Yu thought for a while before coming back to his senses. "Sister, it's you! You're finally here. I've been waiting for you for two days! I thought you wouldn't come..."
Feng Yu Die smiled awkwardly. She took a glance at the nearby post station and asked, "You work here now?"
"This is the Dragon Slayer Society 's post station." Jiang Yu quickly lowered his voice and whispered, "I came here specifically to find a job, just to dig out news about that villainous couple."
Feng Yu Die frowned lightly. "...Villainous couple? There are two people?"
"Yes, sister, I'm pretty sure that those are the two people who robbed me in Clear River City ."
Jiang Yu glanced in the direction of the Jiang Mansion , with a meaning of ' I'll settle the score with you when I come back .' He pursed his lips and replied, "They even deliberately give charity to the common people in the city, probably because of their guilty conscience. The couple is afraid I will come back and expose them, so they want to build their reputation. I'm afraid that if you came a few days later, even if I proved my identity, I wouldn't be able to return, and the leaders of the Dragon Slayer Society wouldn't want to recognize me."
"...Won't want to recognize you?"
Jiang Yu sighed with a bitter face. "The Dragon Slayer Society has made tremendous progress under the management of that stupid couple, and now all the branch leaders respect them very much! However, I have also found their flaw!"
Feng Yu Die nodded and asked, "Well... what flaw?"
"The first thing that evil couple did when they came, was kill Aunt Hua from the Seven Fragrances branch! Aunt Hua was my father's confidant. She must have seen that they were fake, so they struck first. They even buried her in a common grave!! It's so abominable!! Sister, you must help me!!"
As he spoke, Jiang Yu wanted to kneel down. Feng Yu Die quickly stopped him, patted his shoulder, and comforted him. "Don't worry, Young Master Jiang. Now that I'm here, your sunny days will come too! If you are the real Master Jiang, I will definitely prove your identity, and then drive the fake one out of the Jiang Mansion ..."
At this point, Feng Yu Die changed her tone and smiled wickedly. "But..."
"Ah... well, please tell me."
"Sunny days don't come free... you understand, right? Hehehe~~"
Jiang Yu nodded fervently. "Of course, of course! If you help me, I will give you five thousand spirit stones as a reward. What do you think?"
"Hmm..." Feng Yu Die held her chin and thought for a while before saying, "Let's see, five thousand spirit stones. I happen to be out of some pills, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures for the Foundation Building . Do you think you have any of these in the Dragon Slayer Society warehouse? After everything is done, how about I go there and choose some?"
"Okay!! Deal!!"
Smiling like a little profiteer, Feng Yu Die patted his shoulder. "So... what are their cultivation levels? What are their names?"
"Well, both are in the early stage of Foundation Building . There is also a person in the late stage of the Foundation Building by their side. But sister, don't worry, you are a disciple of the Black Star Sect. As long as you speak, they will never dare to confront you."
"Two early stages plus one late stage of Foundation Building ?" Feng Yu Die paused and said, "If that's all, I'm not afraid!"
Jiang Yu cupped his hands and said, "Sister, you are so awesome!"
"Alright, then what are their names?"
"As for the name... the guy is using my name, and the girl seems to be named... Pei Lianxue."
"Hmm... Pei Lianxue... Huh?!!"
Feng Yu Die nodded knowingly but suddenly felt that something was wrong and raised her eyebrows, staring at Jiang Yu.
