"Tsk, tsk, you really still can't trust me."
After listening to the tasks arranged by Chi Huang, Wulin Shui, who was still a little excited, immediately clicked his tongue and said.
It is obvious that a great demon like himself who is interested in transforming into a dragon and has embarked on the divine path is more suitable to carry out the task of finding the "true dragon spirit". However, in the end, he was assigned a "little man" who attracted the attention of Qin Tianjian. Task".
What does this mean if you don’t trust yourself?
"Trust? Because you are indeed not trustworthy."
Chihuang glanced at Wulinshui coldly. Chihuang had not forgotten Wulinshui's previous "disobedient" behavior.
Giving him the task of finding the "True Dragon's Spirit" is tantamount to sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. It is not certain who will get the "True Dragon's Spirit" in the end.
"I know that you have been looking for the real way to transform into a dragon, but the mission assigned by your Majesty this time must not be failed."
"If there is any problem with the 'True Dragon's Qi', the first thing I want to do is settle the score with you."
After Chihuang said this, he turned around and disappeared into the elegant room without waiting for Wulinshui's response.
"Tsk, this aura... people who don't know, would think you have some special relationship with your Majesty?"
Watching Chi Huang's disappearing figure, Wulin Shui couldn't help but complain.
Just complaining, Wulin Shui knew that Chi Huang's warning to him was definitely not groundless.
Compared to Zun Shang and Xuan Jue who are indifferent, Chi Huang, the "think tank", is more like the brain of the entire organization, responsible for the specific connections and operations of the entire organization.
Just like now, Wulinshui is almost sure that besides arranging tasks for the monsters in Chang'an, she must have other plans.
"Anyway, it definitely can't be King Qi, so who will be the 'true dragon' chosen by you and your Majesty?"
Thinking like this, Wulin Shui once again turned his attention to the lively and bustling lantern festival outside the window.
"That's all! It seems like there won't be much benefit to be gained..."
"Don't you just want me to cause some trouble? There should be no trouble that can attract the attention of Qin Tianjian more than the battle between two big monsters!"
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Huh?"
Xiaoqing, who was following Ah Yue to the lantern festival, suddenly felt a sense of disgust welling up in her heart, as if some beast was lurking in the dark and spying on her.
Xiao Qing was very sure that this was not her illusion. She had not felt such a profound and fatal sense of crisis for a long time since she became a monster.
"Xiao Qing?"
Ah Yue at the front was still bouncing forward, but Zou Qiwu, who was following Xiao Qing, immediately noticed Xiao Qing's suddenly serious expression.
"What's wrong? Is something going to happen?"
His understanding of Xiao Qing and his many years of experience as a businessman told Zou Qiwu that some unknown crisis seemed to have arisen.
"We... To be precise, I should be targeted."
Quickly walking through the crowd, Xiao Qing grabbed the overwhelmed Ah Yue, then turned around and said to Zou Qiwu.
"Get out of here quickly, he's coming for me."
When he said this, the fake body left by Pei Wende also followed up in time and spoke as Pei Wende.
"Uncle Zou, you and Ah Yue leave first. Just leave this place to us."
After hearing what Xiaoqing and "Pei Wende" said, Zou Qiwu instantly realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately pulled his daughter away from Ci'en Temple against the direction of the crowd without hesitation. Grains and vegetables
"Xiaoqing, Wende, if you encounter force majeure danger, don't fight, remember to protect yourself."
Seeing the voices of Zou Qiwu and Ah Yue gradually disappear, a smile appeared on Xiao Qing's face.
"I see."
He responded at a volume that only he could hear, and "Pei Wende" beside Xiaoqing disappeared into the noisy crowd.
Except for some naturally inspired beings, no one in the surrounding crowd noticed what was happening here.

Ci'en Temple, in the Main Hall.
"Huh?"
Pei Wende, who was listening to Abbot Yongci describing some of his senior brothers' great achievements, suddenly frowned, and then let out a familiar chuckle with Xiaoqing.
Because he was already aware of the disappearance of his false body, and the ensuing ominous premonition of some kind.
"Abbot?"
So just when Pei Wende was about to open his eyes and take a closer look at what was going on at Xiaoqing's side, monk Qiongjun, who had run out to inform the other monks of Ci'en Temple, finally came back.
"Who are you?"
"Abbott! Are you okay?"
Following closely behind Monk Qiongjun were dozens of warrior monks armed with sticks and tangled muscles.
Judging from the movements and aura of these monks, even if they are not practitioners of the Golden Body, they are definitely not mortals.
Especially when they noticed Pei Wende, they launched a formation to surround him without hesitation, and an inexplicable pressure fell on him.
——Consciousness-only secret transmission·Vajra Demon-Conquering Formation!
"Stop! He is not an outsider!"
In a flash of lightning, Abbot Yongci came in time to stop the movements of the monks.
"This is Master Huiji's junior brother, don't be so presumptuous!"
I don’t know whether Abbot Yongci’s scolding had an effect, or Hui Ji’s reputation was far more exaggerated than Pei Wende imagined...
After learning Pei Wende's identity, the monks immediately put down their sticks and cast stunned and surprised glances at Pei Wende.
"Master Huiji's junior brother?"
Monk Qiongjun, who was hiding behind the monks, couldn't help but open his mouth as he stared blankly at Pei Wende who was nodding and smiling.
"I think this is the 'Qiongjun' the abbot calls him!"
In previous conversations with Abbot Yongci, Pei Wende not only confirmed what his senior brother had done in Chang'an during this period, but also learned some information that Zou Qiwu and the outside world could not collect at all.
For example, Monk Qiongjun is indeed the "silly prince" in the rumors.
However, unlike the outside rumors, Monk Qiongjun did not disappear after being targeted by the current emperor, but took the initiative to hide in Ci'en Temple to avoid disaster.
When Huiji first arrived in Chang'an, the reason why she forced her way into Ci'en Temple was, on the one hand, to borrow the Tripitaka Sutra, but on the other hand, she also wanted to find Monk Qiongjun hidden in Ci'en Temple.
Even before Huiji was trapped in the Daming Palace by Zhao Guizhen, she deliberately returned Monk Qiongjun to Ci'en Temple so that Abbot Yongci could continue to bless and protect him.
