"Two guest officers. Your accounts have indeed been settled!" explained the middle-aged shopkeeper again in an unquestioning tone.

"Then you'll have to tell us who settled the bill for us, right?" asked Piano with a wry smile.

"I'm sorry. The most important thing we do business is to be honest. I've promised to keep it a secret, so I can't tell you anymore anyway. ”

Drifting without a trace frowned, but could only shake his head helplessly. At the moment when they looked back, they seemed to see someone smiling at them among the female disciples of the Flowing Water Gate. Needless to say, the one who helped them settle the bill must have been one of them. It's just that this kind of behavior makes Piao Wuxian feel even more incomprehensible.

After Piao Wu and Ni Ping'er left, a group of young disciples from the ten major sects also followed. Moreover, they did not seem to be afraid of being discovered by the people in front of them, so they hung in groups not far away.

Seeing that there was no trace of a puzzled look, Ni Ping'er finally couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

Before opening his mouth, he did not forget to hold up the soundproof shield. "Ping'er, I always feel that the performance of the ten major sects this time is a little weird. ”

"Needless to say, didn't we all analyze their strange things last night?" Ni Ping'er said disapprovingly.

"No, I mean there are some other anomalies besides what we analyzed last night. Drifting away replied meaningfully.

"What, there's anything weird?" Ni Ping'er said in surprise.

"Not bad. This morning, someone helped us pay the bills, but we had to be sneaky and didn't want anyone else to know. What do you think is the reason for this?" reminded Drift Without a Trace.

"That's what you said!" Ni Ping'er replied with a relieved face, "Don't you see that it was the sisters of the Flowing Water Gate who helped us settle the account?"

"I see it, of course I see it. However, they had shown us in public in the morning, so why did they have to hide it when it came to settling the bill?" said Drift Without a Trace, still covering his brows.

"Maybe they were afraid of offending the wrath. Ni Ping'er guessed with some uncertainty.

"No, I think they're doing it on purpose nine times out of ten to win our favor. ”

Hearing the words that drifted without a trace, Ni Ping'er asked with a puzzled expression, "Why?"

"If they were really afraid of offending the public, they wouldn't give up their seats to us in public. But in the process of settling accounts, they just pretend to be afraid of offending the disciples of other sects, which is nothing more than to remind us that they are still taking a lot of risks in doing so. In addition, they deliberately hide it, just to give us a feeling that they don't want anything in return. However, after we knew the truth, some of them smiled visibly. It's nothing more than the fear that we don't know who is helping us. In this way, if we don't figure out the joint, we will inevitably have a good impression of them. ”

Ni Ping'er's face changed when she heard this: "Probably not, right? I don't understand, what is the benefit to them for them to show favor so deliberately?"

"That's where I get confused. Maybe they wanted to take the opportunity to get close to us so that they could get some useful information from us. Drifting back with a frown.

"Anyway, I just don't believe that those sisters in the Flowing Water Gate can be so insidious!" Ni Ping'er pouted and emphasized a little willfully.

"The heart of defense is indispensable. Drifting reminded helplessly.

Ni Ping'er's face was cloudy, and she finally asked dejectedly, "Then, is there anything else strange?"

"Think about it, have the people of the ten major sects followed us so loudly and brightly before?"

"Well, not really. Then, why do the people of the Ten Great Sects want to be abnormal?" Ni Ping'er asked incomprehensibly.

"If what I expected is not bad, then it may be similar to the purpose of the female disciples of the Flowing Water Gate to show favor openly and secretly. Drifting back thoughtfully.

"Wouldn't it? What useful information can we get from doing this?" Ni Ping'er was even more puzzled.

"Actually, the main reason why the Ten Great Sects are so desperate and persistent in dealing with us is that they are afraid of the huge Western cultivation army behind us. Drifting back calmly.

"However, we don't have any huge Western cultivation army behind us!" Ni Ping'er said in surprise.

"However, the people of the Ten Great Sects don't know this!"

Hearing the words that drifted without a trace, Ni Ping'er frowned and said with relief: "Oh, no wonder...... It turned out that the ten major sects were afraid that we were the forerunners of Western cultivators infiltrating the Eastern martial arts. ”

"Clever!" Drifting Absence exclaimed, and then continued, "This time, the ten major sects are so upright and bright, and the momentum is ...... tracking."

"Just these hundred or ten people, the momentum is not huge!" Ni Ping'er couldn't help but interject and retorted.

Drifting without a trace, he smiled silently, but pointed behind him.

Ni Ping'er looked back and immediately exclaimed, "Ah, how can there be so many more people in just such a short period of effort?"

"Look, there will be more and more people following us. Drifting back with a wry smile.

"Wouldn't it?" Although Ni Ping'er said so, her expression was already seven or eight points of faith.

"The Ten Sects are trying to put heavy psychological pressure on me in this way. Drifting Away continued.

"The so-called 'mistakes in busyness'. Alas, those old foxes of the Ten Great Sects actually wanted to guess some useful information from our flustered reactions. Ni Ping'er suddenly realized.

"It's just a pity that this time, the old foxes' wishful thinking is doomed to fail. Drifting without a trace sighed with a sneering expression.

When Ni Ping'er heard this, she immediately giggled: "Not bad." We've seen through it, how can they succeed?"

"Nope. Even if we don't see through it, they won't be able to succeed!"

Hearing this, Ni Ping'er immediately understood. Because, there is no so-called "Western Cultivation Army" behind them at all. "Yes, yes, yes!" After sincerely echoing twice, Ni Ping'er asked with a puzzled expression, "In that case, then why did the old foxes of these ten major sects assign a few disciples to deliberately approach us? Isn't this an extra move?"

"Is this an extra move?" Piao Wuxian asked rhetorically, but without waiting for Ni Ping'er to answer, he continued to himself, "No!
