A seaside town, facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming.

Ships come and go in the port, the streets are lined with shops, and there are not too many but not too few pedestrians, which is just right.

Although it is only a small town with a population of tens of thousands, it is still quite popular. It is not deserted or noisy, and life is pleasant and contented.

Xiao Yi and Jiang Qi found a tea shop and sat on the third floor to sip tea while looking at the blue sea and sky and listening to the sound of the tide.

The cannon fodder team came to this small town first, with the purpose of finding a suitable ambush location, judging the target's entry and exit routes, and exploring the geography and reality.

Whoever occupies the advantage will have an advantage. Of course what Xiao Yi understands, the enemy also understands.

There are not many high-rise buildings in this town, and there are only a few high-rise buildings near the main street. Whoever occupies these high-rise buildings first means that they have sufficient vision and insight into the changes in the town.

While Xiao Yi was drinking tea, he noticed that the eyes and aura of the people at the other table were not simple, with a strong military aura.

This is definitely the enemy's advance team. Its purpose is the same as Xiao Yi's, to occupy a favorable position and explore the truth.

Those people pretended to eat and drink while looking around. They also noticed that Xiao Yi and Jiang Qi showed unusual aura.

Both sides were secretly observing, but by chance, their eyes collided.

Xiao Yi quickly turned around and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window.

The other party also dropped something on the ground, lowered his head to pick it up, and acted very well.

Only Jiang Qi didn't know what was going on. He leaned against the window, feeling the sea breeze, acting deep there, and said something that almost made Xiao Yi spit out.

“My skin is blown by the sea breeze.”

It was really unbearable, Xiao Yi paid the bill, and then took Jiang Qi and left quickly. They had to go to other places to investigate.

Jiang Qi was very unhappy about this. He had just stirred up the atmosphere. Wasn't his work in vain? He doesn't have this deep temperament all the time.

As soon as he walked out of the teahouse, Xiao Yi looked at the people coming and going on the street, and then looked at the direction of the street leading to the port.

Xiao Yi thought about how he would launch an attack if he was in command.

In addition, Xiao Yi will also think about problems from the enemy's perspective. If he were Mu Xiantian, how would he defend himself if he knew someone was coming to steal the treasure.

"Let's go, let's go find the others." Jiang Qi said as he walked forward.

Xiao Yi nodded and planned to go to the meeting point and discuss the next action with everyone.

Suddenly, a portrait posted on a wall in the street caught Xiao Yi's attention, causing Xiao Yi to stop and observe.

When Jiang Qi saw Xiao Yi not leaving, he ran back to have a look.

This portrait looks very good. It is posted in a conspicuous place and functions like a missing person notice.

Jiang Qi explained: "This is someone who is looking for someone. I heard that there are many places. I think back then, the deputy sect leader lost a dog in Wanlei Tianmen. He also painted it. He also said that the person who found it would be rewarded heavily. At that time, it was It scared me almost out of my mind.”

After hearing this, Xiao Yi was confused. What did the deputy sect leader's search for his pet dog have to do with Jiang Qi? Why did Jiang Qi frighten him like that?

Jiang Qi looked regretful: "Actually, what the deputy sect master lost was not a dog, but a spiritual wolf cub. I stewed it as dog meat."

"What!" Xiao Yi's jaw dropped in shock. It was a spiritual beast with potential. It might even be able to cultivate into a divine beast one day, but it was stewed by Jiang Qi, who didn't open his eyes.

Jiang Qi explained, "You can't blame me. This dog is too ferocious and has a bad temper. He chased me and bit me, and even bit my butt. I was angry at that time. Even if I am a disciple who does odd jobs, I will be bullied by others." Forget it, I can still let a dog bully me, so I acted on impulse...hey..."

Xiao Yi patted Jiang Qi on the shoulder and said seriously: "Be careful in the future. The worst is, you can find another spiritual beast to compensate the deputy sect leader. I think the Vajra Demon Ape is very good."

Jiang Qi looked at Xiao Yi with contempt, as if this was all Xiao Yi's problem.

Xiao Yi felt that the look in his eyes was a bit strange, and thought to himself that it was not the case.

That's right, Xiao Yi also participated when the meat was divided. And after eating, Xiao Yi even destroyed the corpse and eliminated all traces, doing it very skillfully.

"Stop talking, you are the principal culprit and I am the accomplice. Even if we fight to death, we will not admit that we ate the deputy sect master's spiritual beast cub." Xiao Yi was a little frustrated. He really didn't know how many unbearable past events the original owner of this body had experienced.

Xiao Yi's eyes fell on the portrait on the missing person notice again, and her appearance and smile appeared in his mind.

Give it a try, maybe it works?

So Xiao Yi went to the place where he bought the Four Treasures of the Study, got paper, pens and grinders, and began to immerse himself in drawing.

This aroused Jiang Qi's curiosity. He wanted to know what Xiao Yi wanted to draw, so he leaned forward and stretched his neck to take a look.

Judging from the outline of the painting, Xiao Yi should have painted a woman.

Jiang Qi thought that the person who could be related to Xiao Yi was either his fiancée Liu Yan or Qin Ning, whom he had a crush on since childhood. But they are both in Wan Lei Tianmen. Do they need to post their portraits all over the world to search for them?

When Xiao Yi drew the appearance of a beautiful woman, Jiang Qi's eyes widened. This was neither Liu Yan nor Qin Ning. Who was this?

"Well, Xiao Yi, you have your fiancée Liu Yan, and you still have a crush on Qin Ning, forget it, but you are actually sneaking around someone outside." Jiang Qi was so surprised that he almost shouted.

Xiao Yi asked Jiang Qi to keep his voice down, but he didn't bother to explain to Jiang Qi who the woman in the painting was?

Returning to the street, Xiao Yi looked around and found a conspicuous place to post the portrait, hoping that anyone with knowledge would leave their contact information.

"I hope you are still alive. We are destined to meet again." Xiao Yi looked at the woman in the portrait and sighed quietly.

Jiang Qi looked at Xiao Yi's sad look, as if the woman in the painting had an extremely important position in his heart, even more than Liu Yan and Qin Ning.

"Brother, tell me, when did you have someone outside? Tell me, I will never tell the hundredth person." Jiang Qi kept pestering Xiao Yi, asking about the woman in the portrait.

Xiao Yi really couldn't stand Jiang Qiluo's persistent questioning and fled quickly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Yi left, someone came to look at the portrait.

Several children's voices came from the crowd: "Strange, isn't this Sister Zhou? Who is looking for her?"

Xiao Yi, who had already walked far away, was shocked when he faintly heard these words. He turned back suddenly and looked at the crowd.

Xiao Yi immediately walked back and came to the portrait again.

However, Xiao Yi looked around and searched everywhere, but could not find any children.

The hope that was ignited at that moment was extinguished again.

Once you miss some people, you will regret it for life. If fate is about to go, you can’t stop it.

If you miss some people, you can meet them again. When fate comes, you can't escape it.
