Nangong Mengxiang suddenly appeared at the door of the inn three months ago. She was seriously injured all over her body and was almost dying.
Perhaps out of some unfounded kindness, the twin sisters rescued the unconscious Nangong Mengxiang - in fact, they just brought her back to the inn, simply washed her body, and then put her on the bed to let her fend for herself.
They don't have Luo Xue's rich experience and medicine, so they have no way to treat Nangong Mengxiang's injuries.
However, after sleeping for a few days, Nangong Mengxiang's injuries were completely healed.
To express her gratitude, Nangong Mengxiang gave the twin sisters some money and then stayed in the inn.
Nangong Mengxiang would occasionally leave the inn, but every time she came back she would be more or less injured.
The twin sisters never asked her about her affairs. Nangong Mengxiang paid much more for the room than ordinary tenants. They knew very well that there were some things they should not know.
However, one thing that is certain is that Nangong Mengxiang is very strong.
At least there's no problem crushing them.
"That's not enough. No wonder you gave me five Yellow-grade Qi Condensation Pills," a drop of cold sweat slid down my sister's forehead, and she stopped moving. "No, five is not enough! It's true that she has just entered the Xiantian realm... But who knew she had a Foundation Establishment cultivator protecting her!"
Moreover, he is not an ordinary foundation-building cultivator.
I thought it was just a runaway furnace slave, a soft persimmon that could be easily picked, but it turned out that this soft persimmon was in the hands of an extremely ferocious beast...
"Sister, shall we do it?"
My sister whispered.
“Don’t move!” the elder sister whispered unhappily, “Nangong Mengxiang is here!”
"Um?"
At this time, Luo Xue reached for the dagger silently.
She remained vigilant at all times, even when the two sisters were playing pranks.
The black-robed aunt had warned her that although theoretically the Juexiao Sect's Grand Law Enforcement Elder could not reach the Youzhou Ghost Demon Pass, she still had to be prepared for the worst.
Just now, Luo Xue clearly heard the word "take action" mixed in the sisters' whispers.
Is he a hidden man from the Law Enforcement Hall
"What are you talking about?" Nangong Mengxiang asked curiously, "Do it? Clean the room? Am I too much of a nuisance here?"
It does get in the way, but that’s not the issue.
"I'm sorry, sir. It's really not convenient for you to be here." The elder sister put on a professional smile again and turned to look at Luo Xue. "This sir's friend is also here. Can you please leave first? I apologize to both of you once again."
"Yes, yes, get out."
My sister nodded.
"Oh, okay."
Nangong Mengxiang didn't think much about it, took Luo Xue's hand and walked out of the room.
Although Luo Xue was full of doubts, her intuition told her that the two sisters were definitely not talking about cleaning the room just now.
But she couldn't figure out what was going on, so she could only let Nangong Mengxiang take her out of the room.
The door of the room closed with a "click", and then my sister's voice sounded again.
"By the way, sir, table number three downstairs is your breakfast today, but I only made one portion, so I can only force you two to share it."
"Oh, I see. It's okay."
Nangong Mengxiang responded, and then walked downstairs, muttering,
“The dishes cooked by these sisters are really delicious, but unfortunately most of the monks in Ghost Demon Pass have already gone on a fast and don’t even eat rice, so business is not good.
"Luo Xue, you must taste it carefully. If you fast from now on, you won't be able to enjoy this delicious food..."
Most cultivators will gradually practice fasting after entering the Soul Condensation stage, and will completely fast when they reach the Foundation Establishment stage, without the need to eat anymore.
But physical cultivation is an exception, it is another path of practice.
Luo Xue looked deeply into the room, her eyes deep.
But soon, she followed Nangong Mengxiang downstairs.
... ...
Inside the room.
The twin sister Sha Yiyi cast a silencing spell and waited for a while until there was no more noise outside the door. Then she turned around and grabbed her sister's ear.
"Huh... You are really stupid, how can you just say it directly!"
"Sister... Sister... Haven't we found her yet?" Sister Sha Keke said aggrievedly, "She is just a newcomer to the Xiantian realm. If we find an opportunity, we can easily take her away, right?"
"It's mainly because of Nangong Mengxiang... I don't know what the relationship between Nangong Mengxiang and her is, and I can't offend her casually." Sha Yiyi sighed, "Nangong Mengxiang's room fee is not small, and she can earn 50 basic Qi Condensation Pills every day!"
Fifty basic Qi Condensation Pills are equivalent to half a yellow-grade Qi Condensation Pill, and this order only has two yellow-grade Qi Condensation Pills. How can we lose one while gaining the other
Besides, whether or not we can take the target away from Nangong Mengxiang is a problem...
"Sister, why don't we give up this order?" Sha Keke sat down, propped up her chin, and fiddled with her hair. "It feels so pitiful for the target..."
Hearing this, Sha Yiyi's eyes flashed with hesitation, but she soon became firm.
"We can't give up! This is our secret gang's first business. If we break the contract like this, how can we get more business in the future!"
She paused for a moment, and then became a little discouraged. "If we can't even handle a simple commission like this, our inn will go bankrupt..."
If the business goes bankrupt, the sisters will be homeless.
You know, the reason why Sha Yiyi and Sha Keke, with their weak cultivation levels, were able to survive in the Demonic Pass was all because of this inn.
No matter how dilapidated it is or how bad the business is, the inn is still the property of the Medicine Gang and is protected by the Gang.
As long as the sisters do not violate the bottom line of the drug gang, no one dares to touch them.
But without the inn... that may not be the case.
In order to save the inn, Sha Yiyi and Sha Keke decided to make their debut and become the Yangge Sida in the Ghost Pass!
Then the first order hit a wall.
"If we can think of a way to make Nangong Mengxiang not resist us taking the target away..." Sha Yiyi frowned, "The time limit is this afternoon, there are still three or four hours..."
"Wait, Sister, the commission doesn't seem to ask us to kill the target," Sha Keke slapped her head, "I remember the commission seemed to be..."
"After we capture the target, we will send him to Youxiang Restaurant in the afternoon." Sha Yiyi added, her eyes gradually brightening, "Can't we just tell Nangong Mengxiang to invite them to Youxiang Restaurant for lunch at noon?"
"But, sister," Sha Keke said weakly, "a meal at Youxiang Restaurant costs at least half a Xuanjie Condensing Qi Pill..."
"Silly, we're not really treating you, we just need to take them all over!"
Chapter 85: A conspiracy...or overt conspiracy in the restaurant
In the antique attic, an old man with a long beard was holding an invitation with a slightly gloomy expression.
"Youxiang Restaurant..."
The old man with a long beard is none other than the current leader of Medicine Gang, Rao Weiyi, one of the three Jindan cultivators in Medicine Gang.
It is said that the three major forces in Ghost Demon Pass are controlled by Yuanying-stage monsters, but these monsters rarely show up.
Most of the time, they are only responsible for taking away half of the resources of the corresponding forces and concentrate on practicing, and they rarely have the opportunity to actually take action.
Although this is the case, the Yuanying old monster still cannot be absent.
Of course, this situation leads to the three gangs placing more emphasis on cultivators in the Jindan realm in actual battles.
The Ghost Demon Gang has five Jindan monks, while the Medicine Gang and the Tianhai Gang have only three each.
At this time, the two Jindan elders of the Medicine Gang had also hurried over after receiving the notice.
There are many foundation-building guardians around, and almost all the backbones of the Medicine Gang are here.
... All because of the provocation from Elder Wu of the Tianhai Gang yesterday, which meant that the Tianhai Gang was already showing signs of starting a war.
"Is the Tianhai Gang really that anxious? The Guimo Gang's several Jindan veterans are nearing the end of their lives, with only a hundred years left."
Rao Weiyi frowned, stroking his pale beard, "After we divide up the Ghost and Demon Pass, it won't be too late to decide who's better..."
"Haha, Gang Leader, haven't you figured it out yet? The Tianhai Gang is afraid of us."
Another Jindan cultivator, Elder Li, sneered, "My Medicine Gang has many geniuses in the way of alchemy, and is the best run of the three gangs, with extremely abundant resources.
“If we can live in peace like this for a hundred years, there will surely be a few more Jindans in the gang. By then, how can their strength compete with our Medicine Gang
"The only way to survive is to swallow us up now. Otherwise, the longer we delay, the worse the situation will be."
Rao Weiyi nodded slightly, agreeing with the Jindan elder's statement.
"I think what Elder Li said is true. Yesterday, Wu Hai chased a figure into our Medicine Gang and said he wanted to ask us for an explanation. Everyone, don't forget how we and the Tianhai Gang snatched our current territory from the Ghost Demon Gang seven hundred years ago."
The last Jindan cultivator, Elder Wang, said in a deep voice, "The banquet at Youxiang Restaurant is definitely not out of kindness."
"Such tactics... Haha, they even deliberately spread rumors, saying that it was a thief who robbed the alchemy shop - are you kidding? Which thief can escape from the hands of a Jindan cultivator? How could someone who can do this rob a little-known alchemy shop?"
Elder Li showed disdain on his face, "They are clearly coming for our Medicine Gang!"
"Yesterday, the disciples in the gang checked everywhere and found no unusual traces. The Tianhai Gang does things... perfectly." Elder Wang sighed, "With this excuse, we have no choice but to accept this banquet."
It's a complete conspiracy!
It would be good if they could find the so-called thief. Now the Medicine Gang can only bite the bullet and take on the Tianhai Gang's move.
"Go to the banquet," Rao Weiyi lowered his eyes and said softly, "The Tianhai Gang is not good, and asked the disciples in the gang... to prepare for war."
The two Jindan elders nodded without objection.
When the foundation-building guardians who were listening in the audience heard this, most of them showed sad expressions.
Most of the monks who joined the Medicine Gang did so in order to concentrate on their cultivation. Unless absolutely necessary, they really did not want to get involved in the dispute between the Medicine Gang and the Tianhai Gang.
... ...
Beside the hot furnace, the sound of iron hammering continued.
The sturdy man, with his upper body half exposed, smashed the red-hot iron block with hammer again and again, sending sparks flying.
The sturdy man had no idea how many times he had hit the iron, but the iron block didn't change at all.
However, his expression was unchangingly serious, and he put a lot of energy into each hammer strike, over and over again.
Right next to the forging furnace, Wu Hai, who had tried to kill Nangong Mengxiang in vain yesterday, knelt down with his head slightly lowered.
"Wu Hai, do you know you are wrong?"
The sturdy man said in a muffled voice, but his hands did not stop moving.
"I know I am wrong, please punish me, sir."
Wu Hai said tremblingly, the sound of hammers hitting each other nearby seemed like hitting his heart.
No one expected that Yu Haoqiang, the leader of the Tianhai Gang who almost never showed up, would be forging weapons day and night like a mortal blacksmith.
"What's wrong?"
Yu Haoqiang glanced at Wu Hai and continued hammering.
"My subordinates were incompetent and allowed the thief who offended the Tianhai Gang to escape."
"Heh," Yu Haoqiang sneered, "What else?"
"Your subordinate, your subordinate should not have let this matter involve the Medicine Gang... You should not have fallen for the Medicine Gang's scheme..."
Elder Wu Hai, who is considered tough in the eyes of outsiders, looks as if he is walking on thin ice.
Because he knew that although the gang leader was a Jindan cultivator like him, it only took a moment to kill him.
Yu Haoqiang... is a physical cultivator, and the most extreme type of physical cultivator, who only cultivates the body and does not cultivate magical powers.
His body is his supernatural power.
"Wrong, totally wrong," Yu Haoqiang put down the hammer in his hand, his eyes fell on Wu Hai, and growled, "Your mistake was why you didn't just rush into the Medicine Gang? Why did you have reservations
"Do you think that the Tianhai Gang can't deal with the Yao Gang?" He looked down at Wu Hai, "Or do you think... I'm afraid of Rao Weiyi?"
"I dare not!"
Wu Hai buried his head even lower.
"I kept the Medicine Gang because I thought it was not worthwhile to take them down now, so I just kept them for a while." Yu Haoqiang continued to forge iron, "Do they really think that the combat power between Jindan and Jindan can be measured by number... Ha, just those three little old guys, I am enough.
