Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 108 Hunter (Thanks to the fluttering red scarf for the tip!)
After seeing Xu Xiangyang off, Wei Xi half-lay on the bed, trying to sort out everything in front of him.

Wei Xi felt that he was slipping further and further into trouble.

Ding Xinmen’s skills are really good. When Wei Xi woke up, it was already dark. It seemed that the medicine she took worked.

This sleep made Wei Xi's mind start to work. Just as he was trying to think of a foolproof plan to avenge his previous humiliation, he heard a quarrel in the yard.

Wei Xi and her friends live in the three rooms in this courtyard. There are also two elderly officials from the government office who are not convenient to squeeze into the inn and live here.

But at this moment, the two officials should be busy with the case.

It was obvious who the quarreling sounds in the yard belonged to.

Sure enough, after a while, there was a knock on Wei Xi's door. Lingyin cleared her throat and shouted, "Come in!"

Qin Feng walked in, carrying a lunch box, followed by Lian Gouye, who was leaning on a crutch. The latter was still trying to persuade him, "Don't stay any longer. Who knows where that person is now?"

"What are you two talking about?" Wei Xi had just woken up and hadn't even put away the new notebook beside his pillow. Naturally, he had no idea what the two people were arguing about from the yard to the house.

Qin Feng said with a cold face: "Lian Gouqi hopes that we will set off and return as soon as possible."

This was a rather incoherent statement. Before Wei Xi could ask any further questions, Lian Gouqie said, "While you were talking to Xu Xiangyang, Zhuang Yi sent someone to look for us."

"Only after we got there did we find out that Zhuang Yi was trying to get information about our progress in finding the remains. We said a few perfunctory words, hoping to get some benefit from Zhuang Yi, but he said it didn't matter if we couldn't find them, and that the evidence we had could put an end to the Tangkou Town incident."

"You guys," Wei Xi's voice was tinged with suspicion, "want to snatch the meat from Zhuang Yi's mouth?"

"How can this be called snatching food from a tiger's mouth? It's obvious that Zhuang Yi is taking advantage of others' efforts! If we hadn't risked our lives in Tangkou Town, how could he have gotten this opportunity? We don't want to receive rewards without doing anything! Now we are completely thrown aside and left to starve." Qin Feng's words were so sonorous and reasonable, and every word revealed her anger.

It seems that Lian Gouqie was convinced by this argument just now.

Wei Xi took a deep breath and said, "I know you're not thinking about yourself, but we can't just focus on the present. Just like when hunting, sometimes we have to let a few rabbits go."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng and Lian Gouqie frowned, clearly wondering how this topic turned into a rabbit-catching topic.

"We can't find the bones, and neither can he." Wei Xixu pointed, thinking that he needed to get enough sleep to keep his brain from becoming a mess.

"To be specific, the matter of Tangkou Town became involved with us by chance," Wei Xi paused, "We should focus on how to catch the monk who has been toying with us."

There was something even more heartbreaking that Wei Xi didn't say: It was really unlikely that these two people would get the upper hand over Zhuang Yi. Zhuang Yi must have talked to them for a few words. Although the details were unclear, he naturally understood the attitudes of these three people.

Of course, Wei Xi didn't want Zhuang Yi to be too proud. After all, he still had a breath left to breathe. However, she was weaker than the other party in terms of strength, and the Qingcheng Sect's backing didn't seem very reliable. At the moment, she had nothing to restrain the other party. She could only keep the clues of the bones and wait to vent her anger later.

Of course, compared to Zhuang Yi, Wei Xi was indeed more afraid of that cultivator.

A single thought could mean life or death for Wei Xi.

Whenever Wei Xi thought about his life being in the hands of others, his hair stood on end.

Wei Xi's words immediately diverted Qin Feng's attention, which was already distracted by his concern. "Why do you think we'll run into that cultivator again?"

"I hope so," a shadow fell on Wei Xi's face, which had just begun to lose its childishness. "Some things should be dealt with before I can feel at ease." Hearing this, Lian Gouqie glanced at Wei Xi.

".So you agree with me too?" Lian Gouqie sat on a stool, still leaning on his cane. "Shall we set off and return as soon as possible?"

"Xu Xiangyang mentioned it this afternoon, and the government officials came to urge us to leave. I guess even if we don't want to leave, we can't delay for a few more days."

"Has the government urged you?" Qin Feng poured Wei Xi a cup of warm water, and then went to put out the food in the lunch box.

"What? What did you think of?" Lian Gouqie took the initiative to come over and support Wei Xi, who stood up and walked towards the table.

"This matter in Tangkou Town is quite serious. Why is the government office urging us to do it so urgently?" Qin Feng expressed his doubts.

"It took a lot of effort to get so many people out? Or is there someone who is jealous of Zhuang Yi? Or is there a monk who ran away and used the statue to cover up this matter?" Lian Gouqie began to make wild guesses, each one more unreliable than the last.

"It's useless to think about it," Wei Xi said. She didn't have Qin Feng's strong thirst for knowledge, nor Lian Gou's outrageous passion for gossip. She only knew that the three of them had decided to leave Tangkou Town. As for Zhuang Yi being forced to hide from such great pressure on the riverbank, she didn't care at all. "That's all Zhuang Yi's business."

The three of them ate and talked, and the tension that had been tense for days finally relaxed.

Qin Feng and Lian Gouqie were the main speakers. The former talked about how the two patients should recover from their injuries, while the latter was thinking about going back to give Zhao Dazui some time to himself.

After dinner, Qin Feng went to the yard to do his evening homework, leaving Lian Gouqie to clean the table.

Wei Xi supported Lingyin and paced on the ground to help digest the food.

"Today you were talking about hunting rabbits," Lian Gouqie said as he wiped the table. "Uncle Wei may be a good hunter, but Wei Xi, how can you be so sure you can catch that rabbit that disappeared?"

"What my parents taught me is useful, but against this guy, my parents' methods are not very effective." Wei Xi stretched out his hand to tease Ling Yin. "Besides, I have learned some new tricks since I came out."

Lian Gouqie cleaned up the table, stood at the door with his lunch box, and said to Wei Xi, "What's new?"

"We are the ones who are exhausted from chasing him, so of course we should throw something out for him to chase and bite!" Wei Xi annoyed Ling Yin and was pecked lightly. He could feel the barbs on Ling Yin's tongue with his fingertips.

Lian Gouyue had an expression that said, "I knew you were no good! This guy is vicious, so it's best to be careful."

Wei Xi responded, and after receiving this informal promise, Lian Gouqie went out with the food box - he was not destined to worry, and besides, Wei Xi was always worried, so instead of worrying about her, he might as well worry about another stubborn guy.

Wei Xi was left alone in the room. She walked around a few more times, showing no intention of learning from Qin Feng. She completely forgot about the sect's practice of meditation twice a day, morning and evening.

After he worked up a bit of sweat, Wei Xi put Lingyin, the bird that had been clinging to people all day, on the shelf of the washbasin.

Lingyin's black bean-like eyes stared at Wei Xi and stretched out her two hands.

Wei Xi stretched out his fingers, the base of his fingers turning a little white, and channeled all the spiritual energy in his Qi Palace into his hands.

　Qin Feng: I will stick to it! Wei Xi, you make sense.
　　Lian Gouqie: What are you planning?
　　Wei Xi: To cherish friendship, start by learning to shut up
