I, Tianlaozhen Wangu, support the Empress from behind!

Chapter 18: Diverting the trouble to the east, Ba Wu's fear

"Heh...boy, keep making it up."

Zhou Yushi raised his eyebrows, and his expression returned to normal.

"He found a senior's cave in the Tianhuo Mountains near Yujia Village. Inside was an enlightenment pill and a manual called 'Three Styles of the Mad Blade.'"

"Uncle Zhou, my cultivation level has improved so quickly because I took the Enlightenment Pill..."

Chu He combined the memories of Meng Lide and Yu Wusun, but the jailer who was interrogating them failed to uncover this information.

"Ok?"

Zhou Yushi frowned, staring at Chu He with his eagle eyes, trying to find a flaw on Chu He's face.

Chu He was also open and honest, allowing Zhou the prison guard to stare at him, and after looking at Chu He for a while.

Zhou Yushi's tense expression finally relaxed, and he said in a deep voice, "Boy, I don't care whether you are real or fake. Since you have had an adventure, Uncle Zhou is happy for you."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not so tense, Chu He naturally took the opportunity to ask about the situation on the first floor of the prison.

"Something happened in the prison these past two days..."

"Yesterday, an interesting incident occurred in Tianjing City. An eighth-grade tiger demon arrived, disguised as a handsome young man, and deceived many women in the city, including a woman from the Yue family."

"Uncle Zhou, what's next?" Chu He secretly complained.

He said half the words and left the other half. He didn't care how many women the tiger demon had deceived. What he cared about was whether the woman from the Yue family was related to Yue Xiaoxiao just now?

"Tianjing City is the capital of our Great Qian Empire. How can we allow a mere eighth-grade tiger demon to act so recklessly?"

"The inspector from the Demon Refining Department was killed on the spot yesterday, and the women who were deceived were also sent back."

"The woman from the Yue family is rumored to be Yue Xiaoxiao's younger sister."

Prison Envoy Zhou glanced at Chu He and spoke slowly.

"Sister?"

Chu He analyzed it secretly in his heart, but asked, "Uncle Zhou, you just said that it was Yue Xiaoxiao who contacted me first?"

"Yue Yuzheng, as a peak eighth-grade tendon-refining expert, is in charge of the entire first floor of the prison. It would be very easy for him to find out about you."

Although Zhou Yushi did not point it out explicitly, Chu He understood it.

It was just that he broke through to the second level of strength training in half a month, which attracted attention. The woman from the Yue family happened to want to avoid suspicion, so she threw her case directly to him.

"Nephew thanks Uncle Zhou for clearing up my doubts..."

After chatting for a while, Chu He stood up and said goodbye.

Inside the duty room, the prison guards from Area A were enthusiastically surrounding Yue Xiaoxiao, asking her questions and checking her well-being...

After all, this group of hard-working prison guards, although they have shift breaks, cannot go out. Ordinary third-class prison guards can only go out once a year, and they only have three days of vacation each time.

Only second-class and first-class jailers can go out once a month.

Taking in everyone's expressions, Yue Xiaoxiao was like a proud swan, calm and composed with a look of indifference on her face.

In reality, she was thinking to herself, "Oh, humans... are just as stupid as that tiger demon. I can be charmed by just one look in this skin of mine."

crunch--

Chu He opened the door and came out. Looking at the expressions of the people in the room, he became more certain of his suspicion that Yue Xiaoxiao was definitely not simply avoiding suspicion.

"Brother Chu, are you out?"

As soon as she saw Chu He, the indifference on Yue Xiaoxiao's face changed immediately and turned into joy.

Her petite body fluttered towards the Chu River like a bird returning to its nest.

"锃——"

Chu He naturally wouldn't be polite to her. He unsheathed his long sword and placed the blade directly across Yue Xiaoxiao's neck.

"Xiao Chu...don't be impulsive..."

Yue Xiaoxiao stood there with a stiff expression on her face. The jailers were even more worried that Chu He might hurt someone with his knife, so they hurried to dissuade him.

Chu He didn't want to make things awkward, so he said softly, "Sorry, little girl. I've been a little obsessed with martial arts training lately. Don't get too close, or I might accidentally hurt you."

"Haha...haha, Brother Chu, you are so funny." Yue Xiaoxiao didn't know what she was thinking about, but she smiled.

The other jailers were a little confused.

But Chu He didn't intend to explain to them. Instead, he said to Yue Xiaoxiao as they walked: "Little girl, let's go. On the first day, I will take you to inspect the cells and familiarize you with the environment."

At the same time, Chu He became secretly alert.

This Yue Xiaoxiao was indeed no ordinary person. When he just drew his sword, he could clearly feel the fleeting true energy in the opponent's body.

"This Yue Xiaoxiao is definitely an entry-level warrior!"

Chu He explained to Yue Xiaoxiao as they walked, analyzing things in his mind while observing her expressions and movements subtly.

When they arrived at cell number 50, Chu He focused on introducing Ba Wu.

"This prisoner is called Ba Wu, an inner disciple of the White Lotus Sect..."

"Also, Xiaoxiao, don't be fooled by his honest appearance now. He is actually very sinister. He has hidden his late ninth-grade cultivation."

"Unfortunately, Prison Envoy Zhou has a special technique that can see through the hidden aura of others' cultivation."

After Chu He finished speaking, he glanced at Yue Xiaoxiao seriously.

"Damn humans..."

Yue Xiaoxiao cursed inwardly, "Isn't it possible that I've really been discovered?"

"However, this Ba Wu is actually a ninth-grade master? If I peel off his skin, wouldn't my cultivation speed be even faster?"

But she still had a smile on her face as she said, "Brother Chu, you wouldn't doubt that Xiaoxiao is an intermediate master, would you? Xiaoxiao has just started practicing, and Yue Yu was worried that I would be corroded by evil spirits, so he specially gave me a Buddhist treasure to protect me."

"Look, this is it." Yue Xiaoxiao took out a small Buddha statue from her chest and was about to take it off and hand it to Chu He.

Chu He waved his hand and walked straight ahead.

As he walked, he said, "Let's go. In this cell block A, only Ba Wu is worth mentioning. The rest are just small fry. I'll take you to other blocks."

He cursed in his heart, "Oh, you're pretending? Keep pretending. If I can refine a piece of jade bone one day, I'll be able to crush you all in no time..."

Yue Xiaoxiao glanced at Ba Wu again, then reluctantly looked away and followed Chu He.

Ba Wu, who was lying in the dark, sat up in fear, his eyes fixed on the direction where Yue Xiaoxiao disappeared.

"Who was that woman just now?"

"Why does she look at me with such naked eyes, as if she wants to eat me up?"

……

For the next three days, Chu He took Yue Xiaoxiao to familiarize herself with the various affairs of the prison guards during the day.

After leaving at night, Chu He would first go to the Kung Fu Hall. He felt that he needed to catch up on the various situations in this world.

"It turns out that in addition to shadow puppet monsters, there are also leather demons, leather drum monsters, and painted skin ghosts..."

"They all enjoy peeling off human skin and using it to nourish themselves."

"Only the Painted Skin Ghost is different. Its body is invisible and intangible. If the Painted Skin Ghost were covered in human skin, even an ordinary eighth-grade tendon-refining expert wouldn't be able to detect that faint ghost energy."

"Moreover, the Painted Skin Ghost can also hide its form by wearing human skin!"

"Painted Skin Ghost?"

Chu He muttered to himself.

……

Cell number 50.

Bai Jiang was about to open the cell door when he suddenly felt a sound behind him.

Bai Jiang was shocked, "Someone is coming?"

Then he turned around and looked, but there was no one there.

"call--"

"It scared me."

He knows exactly what he has done.

Then he turned around and prepared to open the door.

bang bang——

Bai Jiang was stunned.
