Pressing his fingers on the scroll with a little force, Jiang Chen said softly: "I also bet that if I tear up this painting, you will die very tragically when the sun rises tomorrow morning."
"Don't! Don't! You can't do it! Why is it like this!" The horse-faced old ghost's tone was slightly frightened, "I and you are not acquainted with each other. We are both from the world, so why don't we make friends?"
"Hmph, I don't dare to reach out to a friend like you..."
Even though Jiang Chen had suppressed his voice very close, the man in black in front had very sensitive ears and still heard Jiang Chen's murmur. He immediately took a step back, straightened up, and glanced coldly.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Jiang Chen asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"
The man in black did not answer, but waved to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen stared at his palm and slowly took two steps forward.
He has met several truly first-rate masters today, and has abandoned his arrogance. He is increasingly wary of such guys of unknown origin. When approaching, he is also ready to dodge and shout for help at any time.
The man in black spoke in a deliberately turbid tone: "I am..."
After two words, it suddenly turned into a sneer, and with a wave of his right arm, he violently pushed open the door next to him.
Amidst the "bang" sound, his figure drifted backwards like a wisp of smoke.
As expected, the woman's screams sounded in the room.
"Who's out there?"
It sounded like Miss Gao's voice.
Immediately afterwards, the doors of several surrounding rooms were opened one after another, and the maids and servants ran out one by one.
At this time, the man in black had already run to the end of the corridor, turned over and jumped out of the half-closed window, disappearing under the eaves.
Jiang Chen also realized something was wrong and hurriedly ran in the opposite direction.
In the middle of the night, rashly pushing open a woman's room... Once caught, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to get rid of it!
Jiang Chen rushed to the end of the corridor on the other side, only to find that the windows here were tightly closed and sealed with iron bars.
The noise from behind was getting louder and louder, and Miss Gao's scoldings were mixed in the noise. Cold sweat broke out on Jiang Chen's back, and he sighed to himself, could this young hero's reputation be ruined in one day?
Of course, he was not willing to suffer this unjust injustice. With a thought in his mind, he raised his right foot, intending to use the fourth-level magical power "Space Jump" that he had just realized today, step into the fulcrum of the void, and penetrate this wall.
It's just that he hasn't mastered this magical power yet. If something goes wrong along the way and gets stuck in the wall, it will really be a disaster for the sky and the earth!
He took a deep breath and was about to take the risk when the corners of his mouth curved in a strange way and he chuckled: "I'm here to help you, so there's no need to panic."
Jiang Chen calmed down and asked, "How can I help?"
The horse-faced old ghost said: "Look down at your own shadow."
Jiang Chen looked down and was shocked to find that there was nothing in front of him. Except for the wooden floor, there was nothingness - not to mention the shadows, even the palms, arms, torso, legs and feet had disappeared without a trace.
"Invisibility spell?"
"Hehehehe, I have practiced Taoism for three hundred years and have endless magical uses. I am sure you will be amazed!"
Several servants came here with sticks to search for them. Jiang Chen quickly stopped talking to himself, squatted in the corner, and huddled up.
The servants looked around, pushed open the doors one by one, and carefully searched the tables, chairs, beds and cabinets in each room. They only glanced at the corner of the corridor where Jiang Chen was hiding without stopping.
Jiang Chen was secretly thankful that he hadn't moved into the room at the east end yet, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to wash away the dirty water.
The man in black's plan to frame someone up was really vicious!
After half an hour, Miss Gao, who found nothing, shifted her suspicion to the male servants, thinking that these people were behind the scenes and ordered two healthy women to interrogate them.
Another half cup of tea passed, and the interrogation yielded no results. Miss Gao was already sleepy, so she ordered the strong women to slap each of these male servants who kept complaining twenty times, and then let the matter go.
After the storm subsided, Jiang Chen quietly went downstairs, found a secluded corner, and lay there all night.
The horse-faced old ghost repeatedly instigated Jiang Chen to sneak into Miss Gao's room, steal jade and incense, and practice marriage together, but Jiang Chen sternly refused.
Finally, Jiang Chen got tired of hearing this and threatened to tear up the scroll, finally stopping him.
This was an uneventful night, and there were many undercurrents surging under the night.
Across the street, in a restaurant that had already closed, two figures were toasting and drinking in the darkness.
"Why is there no movement yet?"
"Brother Wu, don't worry. Miss Gao is of noble birth and arrogant. She will definitely not be able to bear such a shame and humiliation. Even if Jing Feng sells the foreign boy, he can't relieve Miss Gao's anger. Brother Wu is just waiting to see the good show. Bar!"
"But there's been no movement yet..."
"Brother Wu, don't you still believe in my "Yue Gongzi" method? "
"It's not that I can't trust you, brother, but it's been two hours. If Miss Gao wants to leave, it's time for her to go out now, right?"
"Brother Wu, please be patient. Miss Gao will definitely not be able to survive for long after she has been poisoned by my 'Bai Mei Xiang'. Even if Jing Feng can find a way to detoxify her, she will be so ugly at that time that she will not be able to stay any longer. Other than defecting to Wu Brother’s Tiger and Eagle Hunting Group, she has no choice!”
"Good boy, you are so brave, you dare to use 'Bai Mei Xiang' on Miss Gao!"
"Hey, if you don't have such courage, how can you dare to call yourself "Master Nong Yue"? "
The two laughed loudly and drank together.
Little did they know that Miss Gao, who they said was supposed to be charming, ugly, and furious, had already fallen into a sweet dream.
…
Early the next morning, the core members of the Two Wolf Hunting Group came out to escort Miss Gao to the Netherworld Forest.
Miss Gao was really quite impressive. She brought with her a dozen male servants, eight maids, and four strong women, more people than the Two Wolf Hunting Group. The group headed west in a mighty manner, attracting many people. Less eyes from passers-by.
In a street teahouse, Lin Xi, dressed in white, sat by the window, silently watching the group of people leave the city gate and drift away on the official road.
There were more than a dozen warriors sitting at the tables next to her, all secretly observing her expression.
After a long time, Lin Xi looked away, played with the tea cup with her slender fingers, and sighed softly.
A beautiful woman with bandaged hands next to her immediately leaned over and asked diligently: "Why are you sighing, young lady?"
If Jiang Chen were here, he would immediately recognize the identity of this gorgeous woman. She was Lin Shuixian, the "Fragrance Thief" who once stole his jade pendant.
After Lin Shuixian's ten fingers were broken off by Jiang Chen, he didn't expect that he would change his profession so quickly and become a serious hunter. If Jiang Chen saw this scene, he would definitely nod with joy.
"Nothing." Lin Xi shook her head, "Isn't Uncle Li back yet?"
"Coming, coming!" Rapid footsteps came from the stairs, and an old man with white hair and beard hurried over.
Lin Xi had a look of anticipation on her face and asked, "How is it? Have you seen Wu Lian?"
The old man shook his head: "Wu Lian has not been here since last night, and the Tiger Eagle hunters don't know his whereabouts, but this morning someone saw him chasing a young man out of the city and heading east. Unfortunately, our people didn't catch up. "
"Is that so..." Lin Xi's beautiful face seemed to dim a bit, which made several young people who peeked at her feel uncomfortable, "It seems that she can't wait for martial arts..."
