Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

The three of them ran non-stop for half a day and arrived at their destination, Wanshou Mountain, around noon.

"He came back by himself?" Shang Mian couldn't help but frown.

The person in charge of receiving them was Wang Yan, the manager of the Wanshou Mountain area. He was a sturdy man with a strong build, and at first glance he was a martial arts practitioner, especially his eagle eyes, which gave people a sense of oppression without even being angry.

"Yes, I came back this morning." As he spoke, he glanced at Shen Qiao and Mu Jiu behind Zhou Mian. His scrutinizing eyes were obviously suspicious when they fell on Shen Qiao.

If I'm not mistaken, this little girl should be the one with the lowest realm among the three. This kind of team mission is probably just to gain experience.

"After he came back, he went on patrol. He said he got lost last night and got separated from the others. I saw that he didn't seem to be feeling unwell, so I let him go."

Mu Jiu: "Where is the resident who was frightened crazy?"

"It's from the village next door. The hall master brought people there after hearing about the incident this morning."

Shen Qiao ignored Wang Yan's contemptuous gaze and stood at the back, leading the horse the whole time. From time to time, he would pick a few leaves of weeds to feed the horse for fun. It seemed that he was just a "slacker" who was trying to gain experience, just as Wang Yan thought.

Shang Mian nodded and said, "Please take us there to see it. If it's just a common case of amnesia, maybe there's still a way to save it."

"it is good."

"Who went missing first, or who was frightened and went crazy first?"

This sudden question made Wang Yan react, especially when he saw that it was said by the last one in the group.

"He disappeared first." Although Wang Yan didn't understand why she asked this, he still patiently explained.

"The missing one is the son of this frightened old man. He heard that his son was missing and couldn't help but go up the mountain to look for him."

Shang Mian and Mu Jiu were obviously surprised, "Are they father and son? Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Wang Yan sighed softly and scratched his head before finally revealing his thoughts. "He was frightened by the wild beasts in the mountains. His son explained everything when he personally brought him down, but the hall master was worried and insisted on reporting it."

The three of them understood immediately after hearing this. It turned out that this person didn't take it seriously at all.

"You..." Shang Mian was about to yell at someone in anger, but Shen Qiao tugged at her sleeve.

"Sister, I want to go around on my own. You and Brother should go check on that old man first."

"How can you do it by yourself? Let's go together."

Shen Qiao rubbed the horse's mane and smiled, "It's okay. I can't help you with seeking medical advice. I'll just hang around here and wait for you to come back."

Shang Mian was puzzled, and thought Shen Qiao was also planning to break the jar and throw it away, "But..."

"Just listen to Junior Sister Shen." This was said by Mu Jiu. He just persuaded Shang Mian and then looked at Shen Qiao and said,

"Things have to be done one by one, don't be impatient."

Shen Qiao smiled politely, "Yes, I know."

Shang Mian seemed to understand the meaning of the two people's guessing game, so he stopped trying to stop them. Just then, the guide Wang Yan had found came out.

Before leaving, Shang Mian worriedly reminded him, "Be careful, we will be back soon."

Shen Qiao waved his hand, "Okay~"

Seeing that Mu Jiu and Shang Mian, the two people who gave the order, had left, Wang Yan was too lazy to deal with them anymore and turned around to go back.

"Where is the missing disciple on duty?"

Wang Yan paused, turned around, and almost subconsciously asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"His father was frightened and went insane, yet his son ignored it and continued on duty as usual. Does Manager Wang think this is reasonable?"

Shen Qiao spoke in a calm tone, without a trace of smile on his face.

Wang Yan retorted unconvincedly, "Performing one's duties diligently is the duty of every disciple. He should sacrifice his own family for the sake of the greater good. This is what he should do."

"Is your hall short-staffed?"

"Not yet."

"Is there any grudge between them?"

"Of course not, Li You is famous..." Wang Yan subconsciously wanted to refute, but he suddenly stopped halfway through his words, and his expression was obviously a little wrong.

Yes, this man brought his father down the mountain this morning and then handed him over to someone else to send back. His home is not far away, and because Li You disappeared last night, Wang Yan had already temporarily adjusted the schedule, so Li You actually had time to accompany his father.

Seeing him lost in thought, Shen Qiao knew that Wang Yan had realized something was wrong. "So, where is he?"

At the same time, at the foot of Wanshou Mountain.

"Brother, I...I had diarrhea this morning, so I guess I'll have to wait a little longer. If I can't catch up, please tell the captain for me."

Li You glanced at him sideways as he listened, then gave a slightly stiff smile, "Okay, go ahead."

"Hey, okay..." This person obviously didn't notice the subtle difference in Li You. After saying this, he covered his stomach and ran into the deep grass on the side of the road.

Seeing the people walking away, Li You walked straight towards the other three people who were resting.

Ever since the strange sound occurred on Wanshou Mountain, the hall master Li Xian sent people to set up checkpoints on the outskirts. One team guarded the only way up and down the mountain, and the other two teams took turns patrolling at the foot of the mountain if they did not receive the task of entering the mountain.

Li You calmly drew the dagger hanging from his waist with his hands behind his back, "Captain, He Yuan said he needs me to report something."

The person who was looking down at the picture heard something and subconsciously looked up, but only had time to see a flash of a knife.

There was a tingling sensation in my neck, and it seemed as if something warm was flowing out.

He subconsciously covered his neck, and while struggling, he kicked Li You, who was holding a bloody knife, away and fell to the ground.

As if seeing that he was not dead yet, Li You, who had just cut his neck, approached him again with an expressionless face and swung his knife down, piercing his shoulder fiercely.

"Li You! What are you doing!!"

The shouting of his teammates made Li You pause in drawing his sword. The other two people had already stood up and looked over when they saw something was wrong.

Li You froze in place, holding the dagger with a neutral expression. There were still drops of blood on his face, and his empty eyes showed no trace of life.

The other two were frightened by his appearance, and they couldn't help but feel a chill when they saw the captain lying on the ground struggling and twitching like a dead fish.

"He's crazy! Control him first!" The one who reacted first shouted, and then the two of them drew their swords and slashed at him.

Li You's dazed eyes seemed to be blinded by the knife light. He turned his head mechanically to look at his two teammates and started slashing wildly with his hands.

This kind of disorganized posture is the most difficult to defend against. One of them had a large piece of flesh scraped off his face due to a momentary negligence.

"Ahhhhh!!"

The terrifying screams resounded throughout the valley, and another Yifenshen also let out a painful wail after his entire arm was removed.

Seeing that the two were defeated, the captain who fell to the ground struggled to spit out a word, "Run..."

After hearing the faint voice, Li You suddenly jumped up, kicked the other two people away with a few kicks, turned around, and approached the captain who was lying on the ground again with a look of extreme anger.

Clang——

Suddenly, a stone flew over and hit Li You's wrist holding the knife. The dagger, which was already covered with a layer of blood plasma, fell to the ground with a clang.

He gritted his teeth impatiently and bent down to pick it up, but before he even touched the dagger, his whole body began to freeze. Before he could even bend down and stand up, he was completely frozen into a sculpture.

Shen Qiao rushed over and quickly walked to the captain and squatted down. She put one hand on his neck, which was bleeding, to temporarily freeze it, and stuffed the Soul-Fixing Pill that Shang Mian gave her when they went down the mountain into his mouth.

"You don't have to swallow it, just hold it in your mouth."

Click - click -

Just as we took care of the captain, the ice crystals on Li You's body began to melt rapidly. With a roar like a beast, this man actually broke through Shen Qiao's magic and strode forward!

This scene frightened Wang Yan, who had just caught up with Shen Qiao, out of breath, so much that he almost screamed, "Be careful!"

Shen Qiao raised his eyes and looked at Li You who was about to strike with his sword. Just this one glance gave Shen Qiao a strange feeling.

Why did her first reaction feel that these eyes belonged to a woman?

"Kite."
