When Ajiu caught up with Lin Ruojin, she was waiting quietly outside the door of the Weapon Refining Pavilion, her slightly thin body standing straight.

He was a little surprised.

Tianshui Tower has a total of eight floors, and the Equipment Refining Pavilion is on the top floor. Since each floor has different management and responsibilities, most people will be at a loss and unable to find the way when they first enter here.

Because of her identity, she is different in Tianshui Tower. How could she find this place so easily?

"Girl, you're so fast!" Jiu walked forward with a smile.

"Really?" Lin Ruojin turned around and smiled. Seeing that there was no one around, Lin Ruojin moved closer and asked: "Have you and my sister met recently?"

Ajiu shook his head.

There was a hint of worry in her eyes, but she quickly hid it.

Ajiu sighed and looked at the still closed door of the Equipment Refining Pavilion. He had a bad feeling in his heart.

He suddenly remembered that in the morning, the alchemy elder Wen Qi from Tianshui Tower walked into Baili Shun's study carrying a box. He was guarding outside the door at that time, and happened to hear Wen Qi's hoarse and dry voice saying that the elixir was almost ready but had not yet been tested.

Wen Qi was a ruthless man. Before he became the master's apprentice, he kidnapped ten men, women, old and young in three days in order to make an invisible soul-locking pill that could kill people, and then tested the medicine on them one by one.

Even though those people screamed and wailed, and knelt down and begged, he could not show any mercy. He would not stop until all their flesh and bones were gone and no life was left!

He was extremely evil and should have been strangled to death by the OP, but unexpectedly the OP valued his talent and used a trick to conceal his crime and save the thief!

Now that he has come to ask the OP for advice with the elixir, it means that he is going to start testing the medicine again!

The host's reaction was different from the past. He not only agreed but also said that he had found a suitable candidate...

Could it be?

His gaze quietly turned to the beautiful, lively and cheerful woman beside him, and a bad guess slowly surfaced in his mind.

"girl……"

"what happened?"

"That thing..." Ah Jiu looked at her and asked seriously, "Have you eaten it?"

Lin Ruojin was stunned, and suddenly remembered that day after she accepted the box, Luoyue kept staring at her.

She had no choice but to hide the box. She was so worried about being discovered that she dropped Luoyue's bowl and was then slashed on the neck by this seemingly ordinary maid with a finger knife.

damned!

A maid also has magic? This is really unreasonable!

Thinking of this, Lin Ruojin pursed his lips and said, "Not yet."

"Then let's go back and eat one today!"

"Why are you suddenly asking me to eat that? Nothing will happen, right?"

"Subordinate..."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the Equipment Refining Pavilion creaked open, and a large group of people walked out of the door.

Surrounded in the middle is the 'source of all evil' Baili Shun!

They all look majestic, with gorgeous dark-colored costumes and cold and solemn expressions. They look like gangsters patrolling the streets. The only thing missing is one of them holding a machete, a baseball bat and singing a song "Superstar"!

She was about to die. Lin Ruojin couldn't help but shrink her head and think of the various advantages of the second male lead!

For example, gentleness and kindness.

When everyone walked in front of the two of them, Ajiu took the lead and pulled Lin Ruojin aside to salute.

Baili Shun was calculating the expenses for rebuilding the Equipment Refining Pavilion and the areas that needed strengthening when Wen Qi, who was following him, suddenly spoke up, interrupting his thoughts.

"Master Architect." His old, wrinkled, dark-yellow face turned in the direction of Lin Ruojin. His greedy eyes were like a dark cave, so eerie and terrifying as if it was full of snakes, insects, rats and ants eating each other.

When Lin Ruojin came into contact with that disgusting gaze, it felt as if an ice pick had pierced several cold holes in her back. She felt cold all over and a nauseous feeling kept churning in her stomach.

"What's the matter?" Baili Shun stopped.

As soon as he stopped, the people behind him stood still.

"Master, my eyesight is dim. I wonder if this person is the one you recommended?"

Lin Ruojin looked at his dry, fleshless fingers pointing at her, and a chill ran down her spine.

Baili Shun was silent for a moment.

"Master Architect, was there anything you asked me to do yesterday?" Lin Ruojin asked in a low voice.

He did not answer, his dark red eyes looked in her direction, as if he was looking at her and seemed to be in a daze and hesitant about something. It was not until Wen Qi asked again that Baili Shun retracted his gaze and nodded slightly.

"Hahahaha, thank you very much, host of this post!" Wen Qi laughed, and the sound was so harsh.

After Baili Shun led everyone away, Lin Ruojin breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he stretched his arms and lamented that there were too many weirdos in the building, Ah Jiu's face changed.

"Miss, I have already guessed seven or eight things. You must get the things in the box as soon as possible!"

Lin Ruojin didn't understand what was going on, but saw that he didn't wait for her and went downstairs like a gust of wind, anxiously as if something big had happened.

“There are more strange people.”

Lin Ruojin complained again.

After returning to the room, Lin Ruojin hurriedly took out the box from under the bed. When she opened it, she saw that the box was still in the same state as before, with nine candies and a thousand paper cranes with eyes drawn on them, folded into a white paper.

Lin Ruojin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened a piece of candy. When she broke it open, she saw a black and red pill wrapped in oil paper with "Heart Protecting Pill" written on it.

Lin Ruojin frowned, looked at the pills and remembered Ajiu's advice.

After all, they are in the same group now, so he has no reason to harm himself. Thinking of Baili Shun, the black-hearted monster, and that old man who looks like a pervert, Lin Ruojin swallowed one directly.

After eating one, there were only eight left, and she felt a little sad.

All the things eaten at night are good. Eat one less and you’ll have one less.

Lin Ruojin was worried that these things would be discovered, so she opened them all. She got five heart-protecting pills, two heart-clearing pills, one nine-punishing pill and the thousand paper cranes.

After finishing the work, Lin Ruojin collapsed on the bed to rest, and kept recalling the conversation between the gloomy Lao Deng and the sinister Baili Shun in his mind.

As she thought about it, she gradually fell into a deep sleep.

The day was uneventful and nothing happened until night when everyone fell asleep.

A dark figure emerged from the yard and tiptoed into the house.

After a moment, the man in black carefully closed the door, and checked himself carefully for fear of leaving any traces. After confirming that everything was correct, he quickly left the scene.

The next day, Lin Ruojin got up early, got herself ready and went out to do laundry as usual.

As soon as I arrived at the backyard, I saw several people gathering in the laundry room.

"What do you want?" Lin Ruojin walked forward, and when he saw her, he instantly became angry and almost swore.

"We're looking for something!"

One of them dumped the women's clothes in the barrel all over the floor, and the remaining two hurriedly squatted on the floor to look around. Seeing the two men shaking their heads helplessly, the leading woman brought another barrel and dumped it on the floor.

In a short while, the ground was in a mess.

"Sisters, can you please stop flipping over?" Lin Ruojin tried to stop them but was pushed away by the three of them.

"We lost something and came to look for it. What does it have to do with a lowly laundry maid like you?"

"Report your superior if you lost something. I've been looking for it here for a long time but can't find it. Is there any point in wasting your time here?"

"Is it your business?" The leader glared at Lin Ruojin, stood up and was about to continue overturning the barrel.

At this time, Luoyue walked in from the gate.

"What are you sisters doing here?" Luo Yue looked at the three of them in confusion, then looked at Lin Ruojin, and said with a knowing look: "Did this damn girl do something despicable again?"

Lin Ruojin gritted her teeth in anger and almost retorted back.

"Whether she seduces men or not has nothing to do with us three sisters, but she is too ignorant. She doesn't help us find things, but just stares at the clothes in front of her, as if this job pays her a lot of money."

"What did you lose, sisters?" Luo Yue approached in surprise, pointed at Lin Ruojin and said coldly: "Why don't you help find it? What are you standing there for?"

Lin Ruojin was just about to move when she heard the three men start to talk about how they each lost one or two taels of silver. They had intended to use it for purchasing things, but they had put it in their pockets yesterday and forgot to take it out, so they sent it here to be washed.

"The silver is not ours, it was given by our aunt. We will definitely be punished if we lose it. It's strange that we can't find it!"

As they spoke, the three of them turned their eyes to Lin Ruojin and Luoyue.

"You two, what did you see while washing clothes?"

Without waiting for Lin Ruojin to answer, Luoyue interrupted her.

"I didn't see it..." Luo Yue smiled and said, "After all, I haven't touched or washed my clothes yet. If the silver is really lost, then I can only..."

The only thing we can do is to investigate Lin Ruojin.
