Chapter 244 Killing Two Eagles with One Arrow
Chapter 244 Killing Two Eagles with One Arrow
Xia Zhirou blushed with shame at these words, and she responded softly: "Yes..."
I didn’t expect that even Xia Yuanbai would help Ruan Xihe!
It looks like her plans have to be brought forward.
No one was surprised that Xia Yuanbai would be the captain.
After all, Xia Yuanbai, like Liu Ruyu and Shangguan Chu, is a disciple of Dean Hu Lai.
"Since the captain is here, he must have found a lot of useful information. Let's discuss it together." said a senior sister.
Xia Yuanbai said: "I have been in this city for five days, and the only strange thing I found during these five days was Lai Fu Inn."
Lai Fu Inn was the one Xia Yuanbai and Ruan Xihe went to last night, the inn with thick white fog rising from the backyard.
"The proprietress of Lai Fu Inn joined the Saint's Cult a few days ago, and then the inn closed. But these few days I found that I could always hear some noises in Lai Fu Inn."
Then Xia Yuanbai told everyone about the white fog that appeared in the backyard, as well as his research on the white fog.
However, he did not mention Ruan Xihe.
One of the brothers stammered, "We got some news yesterday, but we don't know if it's true."
At Xia Yuanbai's signal, the senior brother spoke hesitantly.
"Regarding the human skin...someone once met an elder of the Saint Maiden Cult by chance, and he said that among all the human skins that appeared in the city, there was one that looked a bit like that of the Saint Maiden Cult elder."
A senior sister exclaimed, "So the elder of the Saint Maiden Cult was murdered? Then why hasn't there been any news about the Saint Maiden Cult finding the murderer?"
"It's possible that they haven't discovered that the elder has been killed, or they may have suppressed the news. After all, the Saint Maiden Church is recruiting people recently, so it's a busy time."
"..."
Everyone will share and organize the collected information again.
After hearing everything, Xia Yuanbai glanced at Ruan Xihe.
"And...Ruan Ruan, what do you think?"
"Let's go around the city again." Ruan Xihe frowned. She always felt that she had missed some important information.
"Ok."
Xia Yuanbai nodded.
Everyone was speechless. Why did they have the feeling that no matter whether Xia Yuanbai was there or not, Ruan Xihe was the captain?
Finally, the group went out.
Maybe they felt that the target was too big, so this time they still divided into four teams to investigate in the city.
Xia Yuanbai joined the team of Ruan Xihe and three others.
They followed Ruan Xihe as they walked around the street and looked at other people's stalls. It didn't seem like they were here to gather information, but rather to go shopping.
After walking for a long time, Ruan Xihe finally stopped.
She looked at the three of them and said, "Come with me."
Finally, Ruan Xihe brought them to Lai Fu Inn.
Xiao Yin and Jimo Qianyi were a little surprised. They looked at the four words "Laifu Inn" hanging on the inn.
"Is this the inn?"
"Ah."
Ruan Xihe did not deny it. She jumped up, touched the edge of the wall with one hand, pushed the wall with her other foot, used the force to turn over, landed steadily on the wall, and jumped down.
Seeing this, the other three did not hesitate and climbed into the backyard of the inn.
The backyard of the inn was a mess, with tables, chairs, cabinets and other things piled on the ground, covered with a layer of dirt, and weeds on the ground growing unbridled, showing that the inn had been abandoned for a long time.
Ruan Xihe checked everywhere on the ground, and finally she came to the center, pushed aside the weeds, and saw a large pool of black blood dripping on the ground.
But there was nothing else except blood.
Xia Yuanbai frowned fiercely. "I have been watching this yard for the past few days. There is only strange white fog in this yard. I didn't see anyone go in. How could there be blood?"
After saying this, he took a breath.
"Was it last night?"
This yard is normal during the day and only makes noises at night.
But he used to watch it all night, but last night he was accidentally discovered by the white fog, so he stopped watching it in the end...
Jimo Qianyi propped up his chin, looking a little solemn, "Could it be that the white mist is the culprit? But now there is nothing here, and we don't know where the white mist has gone, and we have no way to find it..."
"It's okay, I have a way." Ruan Xihe raised his head and glanced outside the courtyard, saying lightly.
The three looked at her.
Ruan Xihe took out the wine jar from the space and spoke to the three people in a serious tone.
"I caught a wisp of the white mist last night. After I release it, keep an eye on it and see which way it goes."
After she finished speaking, she opened the seal of the wine jar, and a small wisp of light white mist quickly emerged from it and went out of the yard.
The four of them looked at each other, walked out of the backyard of the inn, and hurriedly caught up with the white fog.
But at a certain alley, the white fog suddenly split into four parts and went towards four directions of the city.
"Split up and chase!"
At the command, the four of them separated to chase the white fog.
Just as the four people separated to chase the white fog, two girls walked out from behind Lai Fu Inn.
They stared at the direction where Ruan Xihe left, hatred flashing in their eyes.
"This is a good opportunity, you must seize it." Ou Ye glanced at Xia Zhirou.
"I know that without you reminding me." Xia Zhirou snorted, "Where are your people? How can I contact them when the time comes?"
Ou Ye handed Xia Zhirou a small whistle.
"My people are stationed outside the city. When the time comes, just blow the whistle and they will appear."
"understood."
Xia Zhirou responded very quickly and followed Ruan Xihe out.
She couldn't follow too closely, otherwise Ruan Xihe would be too alert and would notice her, so she could only follow from a distance without blinking.
After seeing Xia Zhirou leave, Ou Ye sneered.
Those people were assassins specially hired by Xuanyuan Feng. Their cultivation was enough to reach the level of Spiritual Emperor or even Spiritual Venerable! It was enough to deal with Ruan Xihe.
Even if Ruan Xihe is the number one prodigy in Nanzhan College, so what? He is still only at the fifth level of Spiritual Emperor. He can only wait for death!
When Ruan Xihe died, she would have one less opponent in Nanzhan College, and Xiao Yin would no longer have to chase after Ruan Xihe all day long.
And if this matter was discovered or failed, the killer was hired by Xuanyuan Feng and the assassination was done by Xia Zhirou, and it had nothing to do with her.
It might even be possible to remove Xia Zhirou, the annoying person, from Nanzhan College in one fell swoop, so no matter whether the matter succeeds or not, she will be the final beneficiary.
It's like killing two birds with one stone!
"Hahaha......"
Ou Ye had a smile of victory on her face. She stood there and laughed crazily.
Sure enough, except for her, everyone else is an idiot!
