Fairy, help me practice

　She looked around, clearly eager to share, and leaned closer to Chen Yao again: "I overheard the conversation between the elders at home and Mrs. Lu, so I know this! I'm telling you, but you're not allowed to tell anyone else!"

　Chen Yao thought, if you knew it, the whole Jinchang City might know it.

　No wonder Jiang Bailin asked himself and Lu Ke to spread such news. It can be said that he was using the enemy's strategy against him.

　"Is there such a thing?"

　He pretended to be surprised.

　"Isn't it?"

　Song Qin poked his arm: "Hey, I told you a secret, it's your turn to tell me!"

　"I really just met Fairy Fang. As for why she and I get along so well..."

　Chen Yao deliberately stopped talking, seeming to want to say something more.

　This made Song Qin very anxious: "Hurry up and tell me!"

　Chen Yao pretended to be conflicted, and after a while, he seemed to have made up his mind: "Forget it, it's okay to tell you, but you must keep it a secret!"

　Song Qin nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Of course, of course. Go ahead and tell me."

　"You know, my Lei clan is outside the city, and we have closer contact with forces outside the city."

　"Yes, and that's why the nobles in Jinchang City are reluctant to associate with you. Hehe, but I won't look down on you, don't worry."

　Chen Yao nodded: "Since the nobles in the city are unwilling to take us to play, we naturally have to find a way ourselves. So my uncle recently contacted a group of magic tools and wanted to resell them. Fairy Fang seemed to be testing me just now."

　Song Qin's eyes lit up and her expression became slightly solemn.

　Chen Yao glanced at Lu Ke in the corner, intentionally or unintentionally: "Just now, Fairy Lu seemed quite interested in the conversation between Fairy Fang and me..."

　Then, his expression changed drastically: "Is Fairy Lu able to hear other people's whispers?"

　Song Qin's expression also changed: "No, it shouldn't be... Uh, I've disturbed you long enough, I have something else to do, see you next time."

　She ran away like the wind, circled the second-floor terrace a few times, chatted with people at several tables for a while, and then slowly moved closer to Lu Ke.

　Lu Ke raised his eyebrows and looked at her. She leaned close to Lu Ke's ear and whispered something in a low voice.

　Although he didn't look in Chen Yao's direction, Chen Yao could feel Lu Ke's intentional or unintentional glances at him.

　He guessed that since he had used Song Qin to spread false information, the first step of Jin Long and Jiang Bailin's plan to make the nobles of Jinchang City nervous about Fang's preparations for war should have been successful.

　After Song Qin chatted with Lu Ke, she walked over with a mysterious look on her face.

　Chen Yao looked at her.

　Song Qin walked past him and came back after a while. It was obvious that she had received some secret information that she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't share it.

　"Fairy Song, we meet again."

　Song Qin laughed awkwardly a few times: "Yeah! What a coincidence."

　Chen Yao pointed to the empty table next to him and asked, "Would you like to sit down?"

　Song Qin quickly sat over and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

　She looked around and covered her mouth with one hand: "I got some news from Fairy Lu."

　"What?" Chen Yao showed no interest. "If it's news that shouldn't be known to others, then don't say it."

　Song Qin nodded, feeling slightly frustrated: "Yes, we can't let too many people know."

　She lowered her head and played with the teacup for a while, then let out a breath: "But I believe you won't go out and tell nonsense, right?"

　"Ah."

　"I was just chatting with Fairy Lu, and I vaguely figured out some incredible secrets from her words."

　"what?"

　"First of all, Fairy Lu and Fairy Fang are good friends. Normally, she is surprisingly interested in Fairy Fang. But today, she doesn't seem to care much about the news about Fairy Fang."

　Did they have a quarrel?"

　"No, I haven't heard of it. Besides, her words imply that Fairy Fang no longer exists."

　Chen Yao looked at Song Qin and wondered if Lu Ke had deliberately asked Song Qin to pass on this message to him?

　But what was she doing it for?

　Song Qin glanced at Lu Ke and said in a very low voice, "I suspect that Fairy Lu has something on Fairy Fang that can be used to eliminate her. If that's true, then their friendship is just a tool for her to get closer to Fairy Fang."

　After saying that, she covered her mouth, stood up and slipped away.

　Chen Yao fell into deep thought.

　Was he using Song Qin to issue a warning? Or a threat? Or a test?

　Chen Yao decided to go over and test it out.

　Lu Ke drank her tea quietly, ignoring Chen Yao.

　"Fairy Lu, I have news about Fairy Fang..."

　"Ajin, it's almost time, let's go!"

　Lu Ke stood up and left without waiting for Chen Yao to finish speaking.

　When the servant passed by Chen Yao, contempt flashed in the corners of his eyes, and besides contempt, there was also pity.

　Chen Yao frowned.

　After Lu Ke left, Chen Yao wanted to find Jiang Bailin to remind her of this matter, but after looking around the entire banquet hall, she did not see any trace of Jiang Bailin, nor did she see the Golden Dragon Ancestor.

　After knowing that the banquet was over, Chen Yao walked towards the carriage.

　The driver said to him respectfully, "The master has asked that the young master go back alone tonight. He has some business to attend to here."

　Chen Yao felt something was wrong, but thinking that the Golden Dragon Ancestor was extremely powerful, he should be fine.

　"it is good."

　He boarded the carriage and it drove out of the city.

　The author says:

　Author's words: ps: Thanks to "Aspartame" for the monthly ticket and 1000 book coins!!!

Chapter 266 Tonight, Jiang Bailin will be surrounded and killed

　In the dead of night, the sad sound of the pipa occasionally came in through the window.

　Chen Yao tossed and turned that night and couldn't fall asleep.

　When the first ray of daylight broke into the darkness of the house, he got up, put on his clothes, and went to the front yard to inquire about the news of the Golden Dragon Ancestor.

　Still not back.

　Chen Yao's ominous premonition became more and more obvious.

　During the day, he went to the abandoned tower again.

　The tower was empty, as if the Golden Dragon Patriarch had just taken him on a dream.

　Something must have gone wrong.

　However, the combat power of the Golden Dragon Patriarch was unquestionable, and Chen Yao did not believe that anything would happen to him. After all, the mayor of Jinchang City was only a Jindan in the lower realm.

　Coming out of the tower, Chen Yao walked slowly, recalling things as he walked, trying to find something that might be strange.

　"The sky is changing..."

　The ragged crowd huddled by the roadside shivered, looking at the changing clouds in the sky with worried faces.

　In the wind and clouds, colorful arcs were tangled and messy. They were the traces left by the monks from various families in Jinchang City.

　Chen Yao had never seen such dense arcs before.

　A deafening gong sounded, and several servants from large families paraded through the streets.

　"The City Lord's Mansion orders that from now on, Jinchang City will implement street cleaning. Beggars and common people are only allowed to move within the following areas! Get out!"

　Perhaps the clouds in the sky were disturbed by the monks and could no longer be maintained, and a heavy rain poured down, and the huge raindrops hit the ground, making a "bang bang" sound.

　Under the whipping of the slaves and the pounding of the rain, the ragged people cried and ran around like headless flies.

　Chen Yao sighed, his doubts growing.

　I just hope to meet Jiang Bailin at the banquet tonight and discuss something.

　It's night.

　Chen Yao changed into formal attire, got off the gorgeous carriage alone, and walked into the tall and gloomy City Lord's Mansion.

　The nobles danced on the large dance floor as usual, but everyone's face looked a little absent-minded.

　There was also an atmosphere of intrigue and deception among the people who sat together in groups of three or four and talked.

　Chen Yao was patient and wanted to get close to a group of peers he had talked to before to find out the news.

　But when those people saw him, they shut their mouths and stopped talking to him.

　Chen Yao tried several other groups of people. They either dispersed early when they saw him, or moved far away.

　He pursed his lips and went up to the second-floor terrace.

　In the corner, the table where Lu Ke often sat was empty.

　Chen Yao was waiting for Jiang Bailin by the railing.

　Half the dance was over and she was still nowhere to be seen.

　He could feel that a vacuum radius seemed to have formed around him, and the nobles had moved away from him.

　Could it be that it was exposed?

　Chen Yao secretly observed the expressions of everyone he could see and found that although these people avoided him, they all seemed absent-minded.

　This is not the look of someone preparing to surround a spy.

　Jinchang City is about to undergo major changes.

　Could it be that the plan of Ancestor Jinlong and Jiang Bailin to instigate civil strife among the nobles was successful?

　"You are indeed here."

　The familiar sweet voice was like a spring of sweet water from heaven, which washed away the restlessness in Chen Yao's heart.

　He quickly turned around and saw Jiang Bailin walking towards him in a hurry.

　The expression is not right.

　He was startled.

　Jiang Bailin looked at him straight in the eye: "What exactly is your purpose?"

　Chen Yao didn't know what she was talking about: "What do you mean?"

　"What is your purpose in coming to my clan?"

　Bai Lin seemed like a different person, as cold as a sharp dagger.

　Chen Yao frowned: "I really don't know what you are talking about. The ancestor has not been heard from since the banquet last night. Is he with you?"

　Jiang Bailin had a sneer on her lips, and with her high heels tapping, she moved closer to Chen Yao. Her chest, rising and falling, almost touched Chen Yao's stomach.

　But no one would think that the two were flirting or being intimate. Those who were watching their actions in the dark stayed away. This was a storm that could break out at any time. Under the current tense situation in Jinchang City, no one dared to provoke Fang.

　Jiang Bailin snorted and laughed: "The thief is crying thief?"

　She placed her slender fingers with red nails on Chen Yao's chest.

　Chen Yao could feel the coldness of her fingertips. This was no joke.

　He was a little angry and pushed her index finger away: "Speak clearly and don't go crazy!"

　"You betrayed my ancestor, and now he's been captured by Pang Xi! You're still pretending to be stupid. I wish I could pick out your heart with one finger and see what color it is."

　Chen Yao couldn't believe it: "How is this possible? There must be some misunderstanding here!"

　"The ancestor is open with you. Only you and I know what's going on here. If it wasn't you, would it be me?"

　Jiang Bailin's eyes were red and watery.

　She gritted her teeth and said in hatred, "You must have secretly made a deal with Pang Xi for information about Jiu Luo! I was wondering how a Foundation Establishment cultivator like you could dare to get involved in such a dangerous situation? Humph, it turns out you had a plan all along. I was blind!"
