Chapter 405 Sister Fang, what happened?
Chapter 405 Sister Fang, what happened?
Su Yanqing and the others were puzzled when they saw Qin Beiyao and Shui Lian'er coming back. Shui Lian'er told them what happened at the city gate and complained about the strangeness of Changle City.
How could it be such a coincidence that the teleportation array broke down and the city lord's mansion was robbed and the city gate was blocked.
"We have never encountered such a thing!" Fang Wanning was puzzled.
They had been lurking once and it went smoothly. This time, it was also very easy for them to sneak into the city and would be able to sneak into the city lord's mansion soon. How come there were so many unexpected changes suddenly?
Shitou looked at Qin Beiyao, then at Shui Lian'er, his eyes flickering. He lowered his eyes, silently turned the jade cup in his hand, picked it up, and drank it all in one gulp.
"You can't go to the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow." Jiang Liqian said decisively.
At present, it seems that even if the mayor of Changle City is not targeting them intentionally, he must have other purposes.
The City Lord's Mansion is probably under martial law now. Li Chuanlu and Fang Wanning have sneaked into Changle City once before, and this time their plan may have been known to the other party, who are just waiting to catch them in the trap.
It’s better to put this plan on hold for now.
Li Chuanlu also realized this. He frowned, stood outside the window of the second-floor room, and looked at the magnificent City Lord's Mansion.
"If there's no concrete evidence, even if I ask for support from other sects now, they won't take action easily. They might even think this is a deliberate act by the Bibo Sect..."
With so many small sects, there will inevitably be all kinds of suspicions and struggles. Even among the three major sects, they are competing with each other. There is nothing that can be done about it.
Jiang Liqian felt that sometimes using stillness to overcome movement was a good approach.
The Lord of Changle City suddenly made these unusual moves, and there will definitely be other actions to achieve his goal. They might as well wait and see, and they may get what they want.
If we attack now, it will easily alert the enemy and make us a target.
After all, until now, they still don’t know how the person behind the scenes made so many people disappear overnight.
Su Yanqing agreed with Jiang Liqian's opinion, and Fang Wanning also felt that this would minimize the danger.
Shui Lian'er naturally felt that Jiang Liqian was right, and she also asked Qin Beiyao to vote in favor.
Although Li Chuanlu was not willing to accept it, he could not just ignore it and let his junior sister die in vain.
"We can keep our troops in place for the time being, but I think it is still necessary to explore the City Lord's Mansion at night. At least we need to have an impression of the general layout of the City Lord's Mansion, which will facilitate subsequent actions." He said.
This coincided with Jiang Liqian's idea, but she was thinking of going there privately with her junior brother, returning quickly, and not causing panic among others.
But judging from what Li Chuanlu said, he seemed to want to go with them.
That's fine, with three people, we can explore the entire City Lord's Mansion faster.
"Then we'll stick to part of the original plan. Shitou and Su Yanqing will go outside to inquire. Qin Beiyao, Lianlian, and Miss Fang will stay in the inn and ensure their own safety. My junior brother, fellow Daoist Li, and I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to gather information and share it with everyone when we return."
Fang Wanning was worried about Li Chuanlu, Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao were also worried about her and Xu Youan, but someone had to do the job.
Restraining their worries, everyone waited silently for the sunset to gradually sink into the horizon, consuming the last ray of afterglow, and allowing darkness to once again paint this city and this world.
Xu Youan had been sitting next to Jiang Liqian, watching over her silently. He was very happy that Senior Sister could really do what she said and not leave them all out, but he was also worried that Senior Sister said this just to temporarily appease him.
Jiang Liqian was originally looking through the "Must-Memorize Catalog of Formations" given to her by her master, thinking about which ones she could use when she visited the City Lord's Mansion at night. Somehow, she felt Xu Youan's uneasiness.
She paused her movements and turned to meet his eyes.
"Senior sister, you won't lie to me, right?" Xu Youan asked again, asking for a guarantee.
Jiang Liqian found it funny and took off the Soul-Suppressing Pearl from her waist and placed it in front of him: "With this, you can always find me. What are you afraid of?"
Blinking his eyes slightly, Xu Youan lowered his head and stroked his soul-suppressing bead with his fingertips. His dark eyes seemed to be covered with layer upon layer of black gauze that made it impossible to see clearly.
He wasn't afraid of not being able to find her.
But I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to find her in time.
-
Before leaving the inn, Jiang Liqian gave Shui Lian'er many warnings, telling her to stay in the inn and not to move around until she came back.
Shui Lian'er nodded repeatedly, saying that she understood and would definitely not run around.
Fang Wan Ning also said that she would stay with her in the room all the time and there would be no problem.
Jiang Liqian knew that with Qin Beiyao guarding Shui Lian'er, nothing should happen, so she sneaked into the night with Xu Youan and Li Chuanlu.
As soon as they left, Shui Lian'er and Fang Wanning returned to the side room. Qin Beiyao stood guard outside as usual, alert to any possible danger.
As the moon gradually rose, the bright stars began to shine one by one in the night sky. The city, which was originally shrouded in darkness, was gently embraced by the moonlight. Everything was quiet and peaceful, like one peaceful dream after another.
Fang Wanning sat on the cushion and meditated, but Shui Lian'er didn't want to practice and lay on the bed reading a secretly hidden notebook.
As the moonlight fell silently into the room, their door suddenly made a sound, as if something was knocking on it.
Shui Lian'er thought something was wrong with Qin Beiyao, so she put on her shoes and got out of bed, asking, "Beiyao, is Li Qian back? Just come in. Sister Fang is practicing, it's okay."
As he spoke, he had already passed Fang Wanning who was practicing and was ready to open the door.
At this moment, her hand was suddenly pulled by a force.
Shui Lian'er was startled and turned around to look at Fang Wanning who had just opened her eyes, confused: "Sister Fang, what's wrong?"
Fang Wan Ning shook her head, signaling her to be quiet, and summoned her sword with her right hand.
Shui Lian'er was startled and became nervous in an instant.
Bei Yao should be guarding outside, could it be that he...
She was anxious and wanted to open the door and go out to take a look, but she was afraid that she would do something stupid and drag them down.
Fang Wan Ning signaled her not to worry and approached the door cautiously.
Shui Lian'er immediately summoned her magic weapon to be prepared for any sudden danger.
The tip of the sword opened a gap almost silently. Fang Wan tensed his nerves and looked outside through the gap.
In just a moment, Shui Lian'er saw Fang Wanning fall down in front of her.
The blood color on her face disappeared completely. Shui Lian'er knew that the person outside was definitely not Qin Beiyao. She didn't care what was outside the house. She took out a stack of blasting talismans and threw them towards the door.
He ran forward quickly, ready to hug Fang Wanning and drag her back.
But just as she ran over, the person suddenly stopped.
