In the next period of time, the other party will definitely keep an eye on the people coming and going in his shop.
The middle-aged man in black raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and turned to walk towards the backyard.
"Then you just stay here and guard it well, as long as you can afford the spiritual stones for accommodation here!
But my patience is limited. If you keep asking around, I will have to report the truth to General Shanggong for handling!"
The middle-aged man in black did not sympathize with Li Yan, but he did not want to offend Zhao Min. He knew that General Shanggong attached great importance to this new disciple.
If something happens to this cultivator named Li, once the girl grows up, I will feel like I have provoked someone I shouldn't have provoked.
He is a very versatile person and certainly doesn't want to have such things happen to him.
Li Yan blended into the crowd, his face remained the same, but in his mind he was quickly recalling the conversation he had just had with the middle-aged man in black.
"Is this person really following the rules of the trade, or is he doing it on purpose? He might know the big man's true identity and is deliberately hiding it.
Was all this arranged by that Yuanying cultivator? She was certain that I would not be able to find out where Zhao Min was.
Now I can only monitor secretly to see if someone comes to take the jade slip after I leave, or if the middle-aged man in black leaves the shop on his own.
If this is the case, then what he said before that the big man had come here twice in half a year was a lie.
No matter which situation occurs, it means that the two parties can contact each other quickly and there is no need to come over to ask.
This completely confirms the identity of the middle-aged man in black. He might be a spy or spy of the Nascent Soul cultivator in Mingdu City."
After Li Yan thought quickly in his mind, he went straight back to the inn.
When he returned to the inn, he saw the fake Dan monk with a fish head and a human body still sitting in the lobby, as if he was leisurely sipping tea.
But the heat of the tea had long since dissipated.
The moment he saw Li Yan, he was obviously stunned. Maybe he didn't expect this person to come back.
He has been waiting here for news that the other party has left the city.
Li Yan didn't care about all that. After finding the shop assistant and paying three days' worth of spirit stones, he went back into the room.
He had to start paying close attention to where the Baidao Tianbao Pavilion was going.
In the past few days, Li Yan did not release his spiritual sense to investigate the situation outside. He has been trying to understand the situation in Mingdu City, and now he has basically figured it out.
The Jindan monks in charge of the capital city would not patrol all the time, and the appearance of his spiritual sense would not happen to be targeted by the Jindan monks.
As long as no one warns, the middle-aged man in black will probably know that he can spy secretly.
The strength I displayed was comparable to that of the other party. I guess the other party felt that as long as he used his spiritual sense to probe, he would be able to sense it.
After Li Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, he immediately released his spiritual consciousness. Soon, the scene in the backyard of Baidao Tianbao Pavilion appeared in Li Yan's spiritual consciousness.
The backyard of Baidao Tianbao Pavilion is not very big, but it is very tidy and organized in an orderly manner.
At first glance, it looks like it was made by a military veteran, with things arranged in an orderly manner.
There is only one hall and two rooms at the back of the courtyard. At this moment, a middle-aged man in black is holding an ancient scroll and looking at it slowly.
The exploration of Li Yan's spiritual consciousness yielded nothing.
Seeing this scene, Li Yan smiled slightly in his heart, and then he slowly entered a state of meditation, but placed a weak wisp of spiritual consciousness near Baidao Tianbao Pavilion.
Even if a Jindan cultivator's spiritual sense swept over, Li Yan was confident that he would be able to sense it in advance. Even if the other party discovered it, he would immediately retract it.
It is normal for cultivators in the city to use their spiritual sense to investigate. It is not his spiritual sense. As long as they are not caught by the master and nothing serious happens, others will not bother to care.
He wanted to see who would come to take his jade slip.
As Li Yan sat cross-legged, time unknowingly came to the evening of the third day.
What disappointed Li Yan was that those who came to Baidao Tianbao Pavilion store in the past three days were either there to really buy materials, or just to take a look, ask a few questions and then leave.
Most of them were received by the mortal waiter, and only three people had contact with the middle-aged man in black. They should be familiar with him.
After the middle-aged man in black chatted with the other party, only one of them took two bottles of pills and left, while the other two sat for a while and then left.
Li Yan's spiritual sense carefully observes everyone who enters the store. If the middle-aged man in black takes out his jade slip, Li Yan will definitely know it.
Because he also left some tricks there, not divine consciousness, nor spiritual power, but a trace of his own peculiar venom. This trace of venom is pitifully small, and I'm afraid it won't even harm mortals.
Li Yan was confident that even if a Jindan cultivator got hold of the jade slip, there was a 70% chance that the other party would not be able to discover it.
When it comes to poisoning, Li Yan is determined.
Therefore, as long as the middle-aged man in black took out the jade slip, Li Yan could sense it immediately.
"I can't sense the breath of the jade slip. Could it be that he has been keeping it in his storage bag?"
Li Yan was thinking in his heart, and at the same time, his previous judgment began to waver.
"It's been three days, and no one has come to take it. If Baidao Tianbao Pavilion is really related to the sect that Zhao Min belongs to, then there should be a connection. Could it be that I made a wrong judgment
Is this Baidao Tianbao Pavilion really just an ordinary shop, and the big man he mentioned before is also real? ? "
Li Yan's eyes slowly narrowed. After a while, he walked out of the room, then activated the formation again and locked himself in the room.
At this moment, in another room of the inn, several monks with fish heads and human bodies were sitting together, each with a gloomy face, and were whispering to each other.
"Brother Min, I just inquired about it. After that kid came out, he renewed the rent for another five days. It seems he doesn't plan to leave in the short term." The fake Dan monk called Brother Min was stroking a long catfish whisker at the corner of his mouth with two fingers. His eyes rolled around and he suddenly laughed.
“Haha, I think it’s a good thing.
First, it shows that the boy is wealthy and doesn't care about spirit stones. So killing him can not only vent the anger of the junior brothers, but also gain a lot of benefits from him.
Secondly, the more this kid dares not to leave the city, the more likely it is that he has discovered us.
Although he may appear to be indifferent on the surface, it may be just for show, so we must be more vigilant and guard all four gates.
Maybe he was just trying to deceive us into thinking that he would live here for a while, so that we would look down on him.
Didn't you see that he didn't hide it from others when he paid the renewal rent? Maybe he did it on purpose for us to see.
Maybe he has already made some plans and wants to sneak away when we are not prepared.
Everything is still going on the same as the previous few days, keeping an eye on him at all times."
After hearing this, the others thought about it and nodded their heads, realizing that this was indeed the truth.
Li Yan had no idea about this. He just knew that those monks with fish heads and human bodies seemed to be staring at him.
He had no intention of leaving now, and no one in the city dared to fight, so he did not take the matter to heart.
All he has in mind right now is the affairs of Baidao Tianbao Pavilion.
On the other side, in the backyard of Baidao Tianbao Pavilion, the middle-aged man in black put down the book in his hand, looked up at the yard, and after being stunned for a while, he was also wondering in his heart.
"That monk named Li has been staying in the inn like this. How come he hasn't been secretly monitoring me here
It has been several days, and not only has the other party not left the inn, even his spiritual sense has never appeared here.
What on earth was he doing in the room? Was he really doing something else and would leave immediately after finishing his business?"
The middle-aged man in black has extensive connections in the city, so he doesn't need to use the methods of a cultivator to monitor Li Yan, as that might lead to him being noticed by the other party.
He just needs to entrust something secretly, sit in the store and wait, and someone will naturally pass the information to him.
He judged that Li Yan would definitely not let him go, but in the past few days, except for a few spiritual consciousnesses that swept through the sky above Baidao Tianbao Pavilion, there was no other spiritual consciousness staying or hovering here.
This made the middle-aged man in black even more puzzled by Li Yan's behavior. For a moment, he thought he was thinking too much.
"He really doesn't care about his sister who depends on him for everything? This is hard to believe."
The man in black stared blankly at the scenery in the courtyard for a while, and then thought of the news he had received before.
"You've renewed the rent for another five days. I can't believe you're quite wealthy. Since you're willing to stay here, then I don't care what you do.
No matter what you do, it's too late and won't have any effect."
Then, the middle-aged man in black suppressed his thoughts, picked up the book and continued reading.
Time is nothing to a monk. Often just one meditation session can take several months.
Li Yan sat cross-legged, and separated a wisp of his spiritual consciousness to focus on Baidao Tianbao Pavilion. Five days passed in a flash.
Li Yan opened his eyes, a look of doubt and surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Five more days have passed, and during these days, the middle-aged man in black has only received two guests.
Moreover, when I was trading with the other party separately, I didn't sense any identification scent left behind. Could I have really guessed wrong
The middle-aged man in black has been putting the jade slip in the storage bag. Is he really waiting for the so-called big man to come and get it himself? "
Li Yan's eyes flickered. He felt that his judgment should be correct, so he waited for another five days, hoping to see any unusual movements from the middle-aged man in black.
However, there was nothing unusual in the other party's actions, which was completely inconsistent with his own speculation.
According to Li Yan's judgment, the Nascent Soul cultivator who accepted Zhao Min as his disciple should not have discovered the existence of the "Heart-Entangled Twins Gu" on Zhao Min.
So he would not know that Zhao Min knew that he was safe and sound. In order to stabilize Zhao Min's mind on cultivation, he must let Zhao Min know his situation as soon as possible.
There is only one way, which is to get the jade slip that Zhao Min and himself agreed upon. How could she treat it so casually
If that were the case, it would only mean that he didn't take Zhao Min seriously, and there would be no need for him to come and treat me."
All of this was inconsistent with Li Yan's speculation, and Li Yan was a little confused for a moment.
"Could it be that my spiritual sense detection was discovered by the other party?"
After thinking about it, Li Yan was still convinced that what the other party showed was his true strength.
This middle-aged man in black must have no idea that his spiritual power was much higher than his, and he had been spying on him in secret.
Li Yan was so anxious that he simply stood up and began to pace back and forth in the room.
After a long time, he felt that his speculation should be correct, based on the fact that the other party must value Zhao Min.
Since my guess was correct, and the current development of things was surprisingly strange, then where did I go wrong
Is the middle-aged man in black behaving like this for the sake of safety, slowly wearing out his patience
Or did he really have no intention of sending the jade slips out
Or maybe the monk who came to get the jade slip is too far away from here and needs a longer time to arrive..."
Thinking of this, Li Yan's face changed suddenly. He stopped abruptly, and the look of surprise and doubt on his face became even stronger.
