I took back the dagger as if nothing had happened, and wiped the blood off the knife with my sleeve: "Xie Jingwen, I think you'd better not move. Can you tell who is Lao Lang next to you? What if someone..."
"Don't move!" Xie Jingwen's face turned extremely ugly in an instant. The sudden change made him dare not bet whether Lao Lang was standing next to him.
I put away the dagger and slowly retreated to the woods: "Xie Jingwen, Hengfei is in your hands now. You can kill him or chop him up as you wish. Haha..."
I sneered and flew into the forest. Xie Jingwen shouted angrily: "Kill Heng for me!"
"No!" Guo Huaxin shouted hurriedly, "He has a great relationship with the Old Wolf Tomb. If we kill him, we won't even have our last bargaining chip."
Xie Jingwen asked sternly, "What is the Old Wolf's Tomb?"
"Laolangfen is..." When Guo Huaxin was explaining Laolangfen to the other party, I had already returned to my original position. Old Lady Dong appeared beside me again: "Isn't the play that Grandma helped you perform good?"
"Thank you!" I deliberately said what happened behind my back just to get Mrs. Dong to cooperate with me, and she did not disappoint me.
Old Lady Dong said, "Heng Fei has fallen into their hands. What should we do next?"
Although I have temporarily saved Hengfei's life, how can I find the old wolf's grave without Hengfei
I thought for a while and said, "Do you have any way to keep an eye on Xie Jingwen?"
“This is a bit…” As Mrs. Dong was speaking, her expression suddenly changed, “Oh no, someone is trying to cause trouble! Let’s go!”
“You said…” Before I could figure out what the other person meant, I heard Jie Jingwen shout, “Follow me!”
When I turned around, all the sorcerers of Xuan Jing Division were already running in one direction under the leadership of Xie Jingwen.
Lu Xiaoying? I reacted and immediately followed Old Lady Dong around the woods and ran away.
The speed at which Old Lady Dong ran in the woods was beyond my imagination. Even though I tried my best to catch up with her, I was still left five or six meters behind her. If she hadn't deliberately let me see her figure, she would have disappeared from my sight in no time.
When I felt that I was running out of energy, Mrs. Dong suddenly jumped up from the ground and jumped off the cliff. I followed her without hesitation and jumped off the cliff right behind her.
Fortunately, the cliff was not very high, only about five or six meters from the ground, so falling directly was nothing to me. When I stood firm, I saw Lu Xiaoying surrounded by people.
Old Chang gnashed his teeth and said, "She was sending a signal to Jie. If I hadn't discovered it early, we would all have confessed!"
Old Lady Dong said with murderous intent in her eyes: "Lu Xiaoying, Wu Zhao was kind enough to spare your life, but it seems that he left a disaster behind. You should..."
"Wait a minute!" I reached out to stop Old Lady Dong, "Lu Xiaoying, don't you want to explain?"
Lu Xiaoying put away the Dragon Mouth Sword: "I just don't want you to make a scene that is out of control, so I want to..."
"What are you thinking?" I smiled and crossed my arms. "Do you want to call him over to mediate, or do you think we can shake hands and make peace?"
Lu Xiaoying said: "I think if you both take a step back, there may still be room for recovery..."
I interrupted Lu Xiaoying again: "Should I say that you are deceiving yourself or that you are daydreaming?"
Lu Xiaoying was so angry that her face turned red: "You don't understand Jingwen!"
I sneered, "Although I have only dealt with him twice, I know him better than you do. There is absolutely no room for easing the tension between us."
"You are too arbitrary!" Lu Xiaoying said, "You and Jingwen have been in a hostile state since you met. How can you understand his character? I believe that as long as you talk it out, there will be no conflicts between you that cannot be resolved."
I crossed my arms and said, "I don't want to discuss Xie Jingwen's character with you. Why don't we make a bet? If Xie Jingwen jumps off the cliff to save you, even if I lose, I agree to reconcile with him, or even join forces with him. If he chooses to take a detour, then we can change the agreement between the gods and ghosts. You go back to Xie Jingwen, and the agreement between the gods and ghosts will be changed to whoever lets the other go three times first. How do you think?"
Lu Xiaoying said confidently: "I agree!"
"Okay!" I bowed to Old Lady Dong, "Grandma, I want to ask you for a favor. I'll let Lu Xiaoying continue to send signals, and can you create an illusion of us jumping off a cliff and fighting?"
Mrs. Dong hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, let her do it!"
Soon after Lu Xiaoying sent out the signal again, I heard a large number of experts approaching the edge of the cliff. Someone shouted loudly: "They jumped off the cliff, and there seems to be a fight below."
I hugged my shoulders and looked at Lu Xiaoying with a half-smile, and he also looked at me with confidence. Not long after, I heard Jie Jingwen ask, "Guo Huaxin, how can we go around?"
As soon as Xie Jingwen finished speaking, Lu Xiaoying stared towards the top of the cliff with wide eyes, as if trying to figure out if he had heard something wrong.
Guo Huaxin said: "This cliff is not high, you can jump down directly."
Xie Jingwen said sternly: "I'm asking how you can go around!"
Guo Huaxin said anxiously: "It will take at least ten minutes to go down. It's really not high here. If we go down now, we will definitely be able to..."
Xie Jingwen roared, "I warn you again, when I do something, I don't need others to decide for me! Tell me, how to get around this?"
"Go east..." Soon after Guo Huaxin finished speaking, the footsteps of the warlock from the Xuan Jingsi quickly moved away to the east, and after a short moment, the other party's footsteps could no longer be heard.
Lu Xiaoying's face turned pale and he asked, "How could this happen?"
"Because Xie Jingwen is not the kind of man who would sacrifice his life for love..." I shook my head and sighed, "I don't want to say anything else. Go now. The agreement between the gods and ghosts has been changed from now on. Letting you go this time is not in the agreement."
"Wait a minute!" Old Lady Dong suddenly said, "I think Lu Xiaoying shouldn't leave now. As the saying goes: A bystander sees more clearly than an insider. Lu Xiaoying hasn't jumped out of the game yet, so she naturally can't see some things clearly. If she goes back now, she will be the only one who suffers, and Wu Zhao's victory is also unfair."
Old Lady Dong looked at me and said, "You, Xiao Wu, are a good man. If you are a good man, you can't do something like that, knowing that you will win, but deliberately invite people to bet, right?"
I frowned slightly and asked, "What does grandma mean by this?"
Old Lady Dong said, "My meaning is very simple. Don't you want to keep a close eye on Jie Jingwen? Then you can disguise yourself as Lu Xiaoying and blend into their team. On the one hand, you can keep an eye on them, and on the other hand, you can also let Lu Xiaoying, as a bystander, see everything clearly."
I immediately understood what Old Lady Dong meant.
She didn't want Lu Xiaoying to return to Xie Jingwen. Although Xie Jingwen now has a large number of people, he has no advisers and no experts in numerology, which is like a toothless tiger. Once Lu Xiaoying returns, it will be like giving him more wings. If I can successfully infiltrate their team, it will be like putting a knife on their hearts. Whenever they want to kill someone, they only need to use a little effort.
I said calmly, "I don't have any objection. I wonder what Lu Xiaoying thinks?"
Lu Xiaoying hesitated for a while and said, "I agree, but I must always keep an eye on the situation on your side. Also, if I think your methods are problematic, you must stop."
"No problem! You can even talk to me!" I agreed to the other party's conditions without any care, which made Lu Xiaoying stunned. In fact, I knew that as long as I took away all of Lu Xiaoying's belongings, she would definitely not be able to escape from the hands of Shi Heshang and his men.
Old Lady Dong smiled and said, "Old Chang, go get the skin of the red-clothed man."
Not long after Old Chang entered the woods, he brought back a fiery red fox skin. Old Lady Dong gently stroked the fox skin and said, "Hongyi is the strongest fox fairy among us, but unfortunately he died young, and only this skin is left. Wear the skin on your body, and after we use our magic power to bless you, warlocks below the third rank will never be able to see your true form. Of course, if they have a spirit dog with them, it's another matter."
According to legend, fox spirits can change into various forms, and even if they are very close to a sorcerer, they can still chat and laugh with him without being detected. Ordinary fox spirits cannot hide from the sense of smell of spirit dogs, and the true form of the fox spirits can be revealed by lighting a fire with the bark of a tree that is more than 100 years old. If it is a thousand-year-old fox spirit, only the legendary flying fairy on land can see through its true form at a glance, unless it wants to.
Old Lady Dong draped the fox fur over my shoulders, with the fox head hanging right over my chest. "That's all. This time, not only can you transform into Lu Xiaoying, but Grandma can also see your movements clearly. But be careful. The Xuanjing Division might have some powerful magic weapon, so don't get yourself trapped."
I nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will be careful."
Old Lady Dong pointed at the fox's tail and said, "If you can't run away, you can grab the tail and throw Red Clothes out. Maybe it can save your life."
"Understood!" I nodded, and Old Lady Dong pressed some kind of spell on my body. Although I didn't feel anything, Monk Shi beside me exclaimed, "You really have become Lu Xiaoying!"
Before I could say anything, I heard someone coming towards us. I quickly threw the Rakshasa to Ye Jin, took the Dragon Mouth Sword from Lu Xiaoying, and turned to run in the direction of the footsteps.
Monk Shi followed me closely and said, "Where are you going?"
Before I could say anything, Shi Heshang hit me hard on the back with a stick, and I tumbled several times and fell far away. Shi Heshang hit me so hard that as soon as I stood up from the ground, I couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Before I could see the situation around me clearly, Xie Jingwen rushed over and helped me to the side: "Xiaoying, are you okay?"
"I..." I only said one word, and then I heard Guo Huaxin shout: "He is not Lu Xiaoying!"
