Bai Zhengqi and the others planned to rent a courtyard in a small town in Yunnan and Guizhou and wait until the Cheng family competition before leaving.
So I started searching for a suitable courtyard in a small town in Yunnan and Guizhou that was large, quiet and remote so that I wouldn't be easily disturbed by others.
“I didn’t expect it would be so difficult to find a suitable yard for us!” Wen Ce said.
They had looked at several yards, but none seemed to satisfy them.
"Let's go to the alley over there and have a look." Mu Heng said.
"That side looks more remote, maybe there is the yard we want!" Wen Ce nodded.
Several people walked into the alleys. Compared with the main avenues, these alleys were naturally much quieter, and the courtyards the three of them were looking for were also hidden deep in these alleys.
Generally speaking, if there is a house for sale or rent, they will put a notice on the door of the house saying so.
So as long as the three of them find a suitable house for rent, they naturally don't have to worry about finding the owner of the house.
I walked through several alleys but couldn't find a rental yard.
Just when they saw a rental notice posted on a house in front of them and were about to take a look at the yard, the door of the yard opposite to the house suddenly opened and a group of people came out.
When these people saw the three Bai Zhengqi in front of them, and the three of them were still wearing the clothes of Cheng family disciples, their expressions changed obviously, and some of them even touched the swords in their hands.
However, seeing that Bai Zhengqi and the others didn't seem to be targeting them, his expression changed. After looking at the three of them, he walked out of the alley with the people behind him with a normal expression.
"Why do I feel that these guys are a little evil!" Wen Ce said looking at the backs of these people.
"Isn't this normal? We are not familiar with them. If we suddenly meet at the door, it is human nature for them to be wary." Mu Heng said.
"No! I always feel that there is a special feeling about them, and I feel that their vigilance is a bit too much." Wen Ce said.
"Zhengqi, do you think there's something wrong with them?" Mu Heng couldn't help but ask, seeing Bai Zhengqi still staring at the backs of those people in a daze.
"I don't know!" Bai Zhengqi shook his head and said.
"Then do we still want to see this yard?" Mu Heng asked.
"Let's take a look!" Bai Zhengqi nodded.
I walked around this courtyard for a while, and found that the environment was quite quiet and quite remote. There were very few people passing by, so I wasn't afraid of being disturbed.
"I think we want this courtyard!" Bai Zhengqi said.
"I think it's good too, Wen Ce, what about you!" Mu Heng asked.
But Wen Ce looked lost in thought and had no reaction at all.
"Wen Ce, what are you doing?" Mu Heng patted Wen Ce.
"Oh, what did you just say?" Wen Ce came back to his senses and said.
"We both think this yard is suitable, what do you think?" Mu Heng said.
"I feel very good!"
"What were you thinking about just now? You looked stupid!" Mu Heng said.
"Nothing!" Wen Ce shook his head.
"Still thinking about those people just now!" Bai Zhengqi obviously saw through his mind.
"Yes, I always feel that those people are not that simple. They don't seem to come to our Cheng family to take on tasks from outside the clan!" Wen Ce nodded and said.
"Not all the people who come to our Cheng family are here to do tasks. Many people come just to join in the fun, and there are also many people who just come here to borrow money. It is normal for them to be wary of us." Mu Heng said .
"No, I don't think that's the case. As a monk, although I will be very vigilant, but after thinking about it, I feel that their vigilance seems to be only after seeing the clothes on our bodies. "Yes." Wen Ce said, trying hard to recall the expressions on their faces just now.
"You mean we are vigilant because they see that we are disciples of the Cheng family?" Mu Heng asked.
"Yes, that's how I feel." Wen Ce nodded.
"Are you worrying too much?" Mu Heng continued to ask.
"That's why I feel like it's not that simple!"
"If these people are really so vigilant because we are disciples of the Cheng family, it means that these people seem to be extremely repulsive and even hostile to our Cheng family.
Are these people trying to harm our Cheng family? "Seeing Wen Ce being so anxious, Mu Heng's expression began to become serious.
"Don't worry, these people live across the street. If they really want to harm the Cheng family, they won't be able to escape!" Bai Zhengqi said calmly.
"Zhengqi, have you already suspected them?" Mu Heng asked.
"Just like Wen Ce said, these people were indeed a little weird when they saw us, but we don't have any evidence to prove that they are going to be detrimental to the Cheng family.
Anyway, they live opposite, and they will come back sooner or later. Then we can observe them carefully and see why they came to Yungui City! "Bai Zhengqi said.
In fact, the reason why he planned to rent this yard was because he was very suspicious of those people.
I just happen to live here so that I can observe these people carefully in the future and see what their true purpose is.
If they really wanted to harm the Cheng family, then they would never want to leave the small town of Yunnan and Guizhou again!
With this purpose, they had nothing to hesitate. They found the owner of the yard and immediately paid the rent and rented the yard.
Originally, according to their thinking, they rented a courtyard here to practice well in preparation for the upcoming competition held by the Cheng family.
But I didn't expect to meet such a group of inexplicable people, and the level of cultivation of those people was not simple, which made people even more suspicious of these people.
Of course, it's possible that their feelings are wrong.
However, they are disciples of the Cheng family, especially since Bai Zhengqi has just become Cheng Yu's first direct disciple. They will never allow others to harm the Cheng family.
If these people didn't mean to harm the Cheng family, then they would just assume that they were being careless, which wouldn't be a bad thing.
But if these people really want to harm the Cheng family, at least they already have clues, so that if something happens to the Cheng family, they still haven't figured out what happened.
In a room in the courtyard, three people were sitting cross-legged.
"Are these people not coming back? It's been a day!" Wen Ce said.
Although they all stayed in the room, they were aware of everything outside the yard. As long as those people come back, with their strength, it is not difficult to find out.
It's just that it's already midnight, but they haven't heard the movement in the opposite yard yet, which makes people a little anxious.
"These people are not originally from Yungui City. If they really have intentions towards the Cheng family, then this should be their temporary residence. They will definitely come back!" Mu Heng said.
"That's not necessarily true. We don't know whether their mission has been completed. Maybe they have completed their mission today. When we met them, it was time for them to leave the Cheng family!" Bai Zhengqi said.
"It's also possible that they were more vigilant, or that they changed their residence because they met us!" Wen Ce said.
"If this is the case, it will be really difficult for us to find them again. Do you think we should take this matter back and tell the family leader?" Mu Heng said.
"Wait a little longer. If that doesn't work, we'd better look for them in the city first. If these people don't mean to harm the Cheng family, then there's no point in telling Master about this!" Bai Zhengqi said. .
"Then should we go to their yard to guard them first, or should we go to their yard to look for any clues?" Mu Heng suggested.
"No, this is not safe. With their strength, we will be easily discovered by them if we stay in the yard. This will only alert the enemy." Bai Zhengqi shook his head.
"That's right!" The two nodded.
With such a worry on their mind, they were no longer in the mood to practice. They just wanted to see if they could wait until those people came back.
Sure enough, when it was midnight, they finally felt something moving in the yard opposite.
"It seems that these guys' mission has not been completed yet. We have a chance!" Mu Heng said with a smile.
These people are back and their mood is much more relaxed.
No matter whether these people want to harm the Cheng family or not, they always want to investigate the matter clearly.
If nothing happens, that's naturally the best, but if something happens, that's a different story.
"Now that they're back, should we go there and investigate now?" Wen Ce suggested.
"No! We can't enter that yard, either before them or after they come back now. This will only alert the enemy.
Now that they're back, we'll always have a chance. We'll follow them tomorrow to see what they're doing out there. "Bai Zhengqi said.
"Well, now it seems that maybe this is indeed the safest!" Mu Heng and Wen Ce nodded, feeling that this would indeed be better.
The three of them had been paying attention to the situation in the opposite yard all night, but there was no movement on the other side throughout the morning.
It was not until the afternoon, the time they met yesterday, that these people finally came out.
Bai Zhengqi and the three of them also followed them quietly. They knew that these people were very strong, so they did not dare to follow too closely, lest they would be discovered and alert them.
"Isn't this the direction back to the Cheng family? Are these guys going to the Cheng family?" But what surprised the three of them was that these people actually left the city in a secular direction, and the direction they headed after leaving the city was exactly the three of them. The direction of the Sixteenth Peak.
"It seems that these guys have other plans. We must be careful not to be discovered by them!" Bai Zhengqi reminded.
