I said in a deep voice, "The location I just calculated was not the best place to hide, but where Lin Jingyuan would stay. She would stay in this warehouse."
Ye Jin was shocked: "Are you crazy? Aren't you walking into her trap? She has several experts with her!"
I waved my hand and said, "Don't worry, I have set up a formation nearby. As long as you are careful, you won't be discovered by the other party."
"But..." Ye Jin wanted to say something else, but I interrupted him: "We have too little information about Lin Jingyuan. I have to take the risk of getting close to him and get something useful for us."
After hearing what I said, Ye Jin stopped objecting. We simply leaned on the sacks nearby, closed our eyes and waited quietly for the other party to arrive. Not long after, I heard a voice coming from the warehouse door: "Fifth Madam, there are traces of burning clothes here."
Sun Xiaomei's voice soon came from below: "It was Wu Zhao. This Wu Zhao is really as cunning as a ghost. He actually burned the clothes."
Xie Jingwen added: "The ghost realm is such a small place, let's spread out our forces, I don't believe..."
"Bullshit!" Sun Xiaomei cursed before he could finish. "Wu Zhao is no longer the same as he was before. He even killed a first-class sorcerer with one blow. If we disperse our forces, wouldn't that be like sending food to him? Besides, do you know what he wrote in the blood letter? Do you have a brain or not?"
When Xie Jingwen was scolded by Sun Xiaomei and dared not say a word, Lin Jingyuan said, "Scatter the people and search this place to see if there are any clues."
Lin Jingyuan's approach was correct, but her words had no effect in front of the sorcerers of Xuan Jingsi. Everyone stood there motionless, and even the few sorcerers who had obeyed her orders at first did not react at all.
Lin Jingyuan frowned slightly and said, "Fifth Madam, I think..."
Sun Xiaomei interrupted coldly, "Since Wu Zhao has already burned his clothes, there is no way he can stay here. I don't think it's necessary."
Lin Jingyuan found a place to sit down without commenting. Sun Xiaomei said, "Xu Yuan, please divine Wu Zhao's location."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but quietly look downstairs through the cracks in the floor. The first thing I saw was a sorcerer holding a poker card - a tarot card!
I have only heard of Tarot cards but never used them. Tarot cards and crystal balls are both Western divination tools, which are incompatible with my teachings. I also never believe that a few pieces of paper can reveal the past and the future.
I was still slightly stunned when I saw the other party using Tarot cards for divination.
If what Sun Xiaomei originally wrote was to kill all fortune tellers, then how come this person using tarot cards is still alive
His major was not numerology, so he cannot be called a fortune teller; or, is it that Tarot cards are only for divination and not fortune-telling
If it is the former, it is easier to deal with; if it is the latter, then the sky-covering formation I set up is useless.
When I couldn't help but tighten my grip on the long knife beside me, the tarot cards in the sorcerer's hand suddenly emitted a nearly foot-high flame. The man was so scared that he raised his hand to the sky, and the burning tarot cards were like colorful butterflies on fire, struggling and screaming, rushing into the air, and then falling to the ground helplessly and turning into ashes.
The man waved his hands and said, "Fifth Madam, Wu Zhao used a formation to conceal the secrets of heaven. I can't figure out anything."
"Waste!" Sun Xiaomei glared at him fiercely, still not satisfied, and pointed at Jie Jingwen and cursed, "It's all because of this useless thing that he insisted on seeking revenge on Wu Zhao! We worked so hard to create such a good situation, and you ruined it just like that!"
Xie Jingwen said: "Master's wife, didn't you agree to control Wu Zhao at the beginning?"
"How dare you talk back!" Sun Xiaomei raised her hand and slapped Li Jingwen hard on the face. "I asked you to control Wu Zhao, not to stop him from saving people! People like Wu Zhao can never be coerced, you can only control his weaknesses and force him to submit. If Xiao Baitang really can't be saved because of your obstruction, with the personalities of Wu Zhao and Ye Jin, they will drag us down with them even if they lose their lives. Do you have a brain or not?"
Sun Xiaomei scolded him like a machine gun: "Jie Jingwen, how are you like your master? What else do you have in your mind besides playing with women? It would be great if you could control heroes like your master, whether they live or die. Look at the kind of women you find! Apart from having sex with you, what else can they do for you?"
Sun Xiaomei didn't care that she was in public, and she didn't even give Xie Jingwen any face: "Look at what you look like now! How can you be worthy of the title of your master? It's ok that you made yourself look like this, but you still don't have any brains! I really don't know why your brother insisted on keeping you here! If it were me, I would have kicked you out long ago, so that you wouldn't be an eyesore!"
Xie Jingwen gnashed his teeth and said, "It's all Wu Zhao's fault that I've fallen to this point today!"
"Haha..." Sun Xiaomei sneered, "You still have the nerve to talk about Wu Zhao? Wu Zhao was born in the grassroots. Who taught him anything except an old man who kept his name secret? If this kind of person were placed in the Xuanjing Division, he wouldn't even be able to be the lowest ghost catcher, but he played you around all the way, and even in just a few years he became a master who could easily kill a first-grade warlock. What right do you have to compare with him? You were harmed by him because you are incompetent!"
Sun Xiaomei was still not satisfied after scolding him: "If I had a choice, I would rather let my brother accept Wu Zhao as his disciple than accept a loser like you!"
"Get lost!" Sun Xiaomei pointed at the door and said, "Get away from me! I get upset when I see you!"
Xie Jingwen walked out of the gate without saying a word, but he didn't go far. Judging from his footsteps, he should have stopped near the gate.
Sun Xiaomei snorted coldly, asked her men to clear a piece of space, spread a blanket on her before she lay down.
I turned my gaze to Lin Jingyuan in the distance. According to common sense, Lin Jingyuan should not be the kind of person who can be manipulated by others. How could she have no calculations
Not long after, I saw Lin Jingyuan leaning against the wall and falling asleep. Soon, the warlocks of the Xuanjing Division standing nearby fell asleep one after another.
Someone used poison... As a sorcerer, no matter how exhausted he was, he would not fall asleep when no one was guarding him. But Sun Xiaomei and the others didn't even leave a sentry post, wasn't that like sending their lives to the hands of ghosts
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt my head getting heavy and my body shaking slightly, as if I might fall asleep upstairs at any moment. When I shook my head desperately to wake myself up, Xiao Baitang put a bottle of fragrant medicine under my nose, and my mind immediately sobered up: "Who gave me the medicine?"
Xiao Baitang lowered his voice and said, "It should be Xie Jingwen. He lost his soul after he left..."
While Xiao Baitang was talking, Xie Jingwen poked his head out from the door, first pushed the sorcerer who was lying on the side of the door, and then strode towards Sun Xiaomei's direction.
Ye Jin asked puzzledly: "What is he going to do?"
"Shh—" I made a gesture to keep quiet.
Xie Jingwen stood in front of Sun Xiaomei and looked at her for a long time. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and tore half of Sun Xiaomei's clothes off...
After Xie Jingwen threw away Sun Xiaomei's clothes, he seemed to have thought of something else. He took out two bottles of medicine from his body, took out one of them and poured some into Sun Xiaomei's mouth, and then put the other bottle under Sun Xiaomei's nose and shook it twice. The latter woke up quickly, and when she saw her clothes being torn apart, she screamed, "Xie Jingwen, what are you doing?"
Xie Jingwen grinned and said, "What are you doing? What else can a man do after tearing off a woman's clothes? It's not to see if she is white or not, right?"
"You beast! I'm your master's wife!" Sun Xiaomei's voice had changed. "If you dare to drug me, I'll let my brother cut you into pieces..."
"Master's wife?" Xie Jingwen laughed, "Do you remember that I am your master's wife now? When you refuted my face in public, did you ever think of me as your master's wife? When you ordered me around like a dog, did you ever think of me as your master's wife?"
Xie Jingwen's face twisted and he said ruthlessly, "Don't think I don't know. After you came back from Miaojiang, in order to win favor in front of my master and not be outdone by those women, you pushed all the faults onto me and even insisted that my master expel me from the sect. When did you ever regard me as a superior person?"
Xie Jingwen quickly ripped off Sun Xiaomei's clothes, and the latter finally burst into tears: "Please forgive me! I was wrong, please forgive me! I promise not to..."
Xie Jingwen laughed wildly and said, "My master said that some women will only be devoted to you if you sleep with them. The more you sleep with them, the more loyal they will be to you. My master let it slip at the time that you are that kind of person. I want to try today to see if you are the kind of woman who becomes more loyal the more you sleep with her."
"No! I belong to my brother alone..."
Xie Jingwen took off his clothes amid Sun Xiaomei's crying... I quickly covered Xiao Baitang's eyes and pulled her aside.
Xiao Baitang whispered, "Brother Wu Zhao, aren't you going down to save them?"
Before I could say anything, Ye Jin cursed, "Saving him is a jerk! If we go down and kill Li Jingwen now, not only will Sun Xiaomei not be grateful to Zhaozi, she will also kill him to silence him. Do you believe it?"
Ye Jin was right. Sun Xiaomei was not the kind of person who would repay a favor. What's more, what I saw was enough to be called a stain on Sun Xiaomei's life. Even if she wanted to win favor in front of Sun Yifan, she would not let me live.
Not saving her is the best choice.
A layer of mist appeared in Xiao Baitang's eyes: "Brother Wu Zhao, you are a man... you..."
"Help them!" When I drew out my long sword and was about to attack, Ye Jin said in surprise: "Zhaozi, are you confused? You are still thinking at this time..."
I held up my long knife and stepped over the sack in front of me. "Old Ye, Xiao Baitang is right! We are people of the underworld, but there should be a bottom line in what we do."
Ye Jin was silent for a moment: "I'll go with you!"
