Ye Di, who accidentally took over the secret mission in the end, even twisted his foot at the door when he left.

Successfully received a high-level mission from this mysterious lord, and although she only paid a deposit at the beginning, this considerable amount of money still made her happy, who had never seen so much money.

But now it seems that how happy she was at that time, how bitter she is in her heart now, especially now in the middle of the night, she has to walk in this dark jungle with gusting winds.

At the beginning, she thought about this task too complicated, thinking that she would be very busy and tired in the future, but in fact, the other party just wanted to find someone who knew Liu Qingmian, or a stranger near her, but it was okay to get to know her later.

Although I don't know the real purpose of the other party, at least one thing can be confirmed, this man is very concerned about Liu Qingmian's every move!

In the first few missions, the task given to her by the mysterious man was only to observe Liu Qingmian, and the most dangerous thing was to follow her from afar, figure out her living habits, and so on.

Fortunately, Liu Qingmian had just come to Wanyu Cave at that time, and she was very interested in the surrounding environment, and she walked around almost every day, Bai Ye was busy at the time, and she didn't have time to take her, she basically moved around her home, so that Ye Di could provide that adult with a lot of information, and the other party gave her a lot of bounties at that time.

After several missions, Yedi still couldn't figure out what the mysterious man wanted to do, but what the other party gave her was so good, his money was like a useless stone, it didn't hurt to use it, and every time she was afraid and retreated, the other party would give her some big sweetness, and almost give whatever she wanted!

As she got used to the sweetness, her greed became more and more difficult to satisfy, and the feeling of being able to get what she wanted quickly fascinated her!

And the other party also kept promising her that after the task was completed, additional rewards would be added according to her performance during this period!

As long as this single task is completed, Yedi can not only squeeze into the Night Owl Palace, have a more noble status, but also get a lot of wealth to match, which is something that her current status cannot achieve in her lifetime!

With such a high return, the little caution that Yedi had was gone.

Yedi was born in poverty, her parents are just ordinary people struggling to survive in the town, and there are too many brothers and sisters in the family to open the pot.

As an older sister, she didn't want to see her parents embarrassed, so she walked out of the city with half a steamed bun on her own.

She doesn't understand why she can't raise them, and her parents still choose to have so many babies, isn't it enough for her to be alone?

She couldn't figure out these things at a young age, and even her parents, who were in pain, probably couldn't figure out why she was forced to live this life for the rest of her life.

Yedi was precocious since she was a child, and she was soon captured as a slave when she was wandering, ready to be sold to the Qinglou when she was older.

In less than a year, she has almost experienced the hardships and dangers of the world, and she has seen the deceit of people's hearts, but the only thing she can't get rid of is the fear of the night.

She didn't go far, she regretted it, and followed the lights in the distance of the town to rush home, but was caught by the human trafficker in the middle of the road, and took her out of place overnight, completely extinguishing her hopes.

It wasn't until this team of wicked people who were not afraid of heaven and earth that they once hit the girl pretended to be a disciple of Wanyu Cave, but they were directly wiped out by the people brought by the other party, and Yedi was able to escape the fate of being sold.

Her childhood was miserable, but in this era, it was not the worst, but this gray time undoubtedly cultivated her character and shaped her into what she is today.

She doesn't want her offspring to repeat her mistakes, and she doesn't want her offspring to meet her parents who can't give happiness!

So the Night Stalker Hall will undoubtedly be able to provide her with everything she wants!

With her excellent conditions, affluent life, and the high-profile behavior of the Night Owl Hall in recent years, she has the momentum to win the championship in the century-old leadership competition, and she can't wait to be a part of it.

Soon, she will be able to make those who once laughed at her regret it, this opportunity to jump directly to the top is squeezed out by someone wherever it is placed, and if you miss it once, it will basically not be in the future!

In the two months that Liu Qingmian left, she was annoyed by asking for the other party! and even instructed her to go out to look for it, which didn't even know where the other party went, let her go to find it!

And even if they don't do it themselves, with the attraction of the Night Owl Palace, there will never be a shortage of chess pieces who are willing to work for them, there are too many junior disciples like themselves, and each of them desperately wants to climb up, as long as they are given a chance.

For people like them, the final result is difficult to end well, because when you climb up, you often need to step on others to go up, and sometimes you almost get ashore, and it is likely that the person you stepped on back then will drag you down.

Yedi thinks she still has some conscience, which is also something that makes her laugh at herself, doing things she is not so willing to do in order to turn over, and at the same time anxious to get out of the current situation, which makes her always hesitate a little when it is time to make up her mind, and may even miss the best opportunity.

The mysterious adult didn't say what state Liu Qingmian needed to be in when he came, if he was ruthless, he would directly drug her or even knock her out, as long as he brought her alive.

Although the results of the coaxing were similar in the past, Yedi still couldn't do that.

She thinks that since the other party knows that Liu Qingmian is Bai Ye's apprentice, she shouldn't dare to do anything to Liu Qingmian, right?

Although he struggled for a long time, Liu Qingmian finally agreed, which made Yedi both happy and a little uneasy.

"When are we going?" Liu Qingmian asked.

Ye Di thought for a moment, "Are you tired today? If you are not tired, why don't we go out now?" That strange man is often waiting for me nearby, I don't even dare to go out recently, if he is not there, forget it. ”

"Then let's go now, I haven't changed my clothes yet. ”

In the middle of the night, the disciples in this area were a lot quieter, and Yedi, who was dressed in black robes, tiptoed open the door.

The disciples of Wanyu Cave who were patrolling nearby not long ago had already swam elsewhere.

"Why are you dressed like this?" Liu Qingmian frowned slightly.

"Shhhhhh

Then she closed the door and led Liu Qingmian into the dark grove nearby.

She had only met the man here not long ago, maybe he was still nearby, and the other party had not explained when she would 'deliver' the goods, so she couldn't figure out what the other person meant.

But in case you have a lot of dreams at night, the sooner you do it, the better, in case that adult has a way to sense his actions!

Ye Di thought innocently, but she didn't know that if that adult could sense her actions, then she would be furious just because she hadn't gone out to find her according to the other party's instructions in the two months that Liu Qingmian had been missing.

"Crackling. The dead branches on the ground made a crisp sound, and Ye Di was so frightened that she grabbed Liu Qingmian's sleeve.

At this time, it was already late at night, and the cold night wind blew people as if their hearts were cold twice, I don't know if it was cold or scared, Yedi, who was fine just now, trembled slightly at this time.

The latter looked at her hesitantly: "What's the matter with you? Didn't you say that the first time you met here, you are afraid that you will be like this, and you can still come here alone?"

The wind at night is stronger, and the leaves have almost fallen off this season, leaving only scattered dead leaves, which stick to it and refuse to come down, and the dry branches on the head are blown by the strong wind, making an inexplicable sound, which is not only scary, but still scary.

I really couldn't think of Ye Di's motive for coming here at that time, Liu Qingmian stopped, and she began to doubt.

Seeing that Liu Qingmian refused to move, Yedi was in a hurry, she cried and said with a sad face: "Xiao Mian, when I think of the scene that night, I unconsciously became scared again... I was in the same situation that night today, it was very windy, I just wanted to take a shortcut back to the disciple's house, and walked the path in the forest that everyone usually likes to walk, and as I walked, I heard a sound behind me. ”

"What kind of sound?"

"Crackle, crackle, the sound was obvious, I was frightened, I ran forward, and then I ran back and locked the door before I dared to explore, but there was nothing. ”

"This..."Liu Qingmian touched her chin, she didn't have a clue.

Looking at Liu Qingmian's contemplative appearance, Yedi quietly wiped her sweat, it seems that the story she made up has played a role.

There has always been a small forest next to the disciple's residence where Liu Qingmian and Yeqi lived, but in the past, the trees here were sparse and unmanaged, and it was not as neat as it is now.

This forest is not very old, and it is not a rare tree species, and its quality can only be said to be acceptable, but its advantage is that it is easy to absorb spiritual energy from the surrounding environment, so the greatest value here is the land.

This land is on a small spiritual vein, but also for the welfare of the nearby disciples, this woodland is only planted by the sect in recent years, used to cultivate new spiritual trees, the previous 'soul chasing' was enshrined in the location is the source of the spiritual vein here, in the maintenance of the 'soul chasing' at the same time, may also play a role in mutual nourishment.

It is not known whether there is a specific nourishing effect, but it is true that it has accumulated popularity for this grove, and more and more disciples in the vicinity have come to this grove to cultivate and absorb the aura of heaven and earth.

The grove that used to be gloomy in the eyes of everyone, because there were more people who came later, and the popularity became heavier, there are no secrets in it, walking around, but only one or two routes, and it is no longer as complicated as imagined.

It's just that the 'soul chaser' in the middle is guarded by a few disciples, so few people can approach that place, and many people only know about it when they lose it this time.

Speaking of which, Bai Ye wanted to arrange the people to be questioned this time, including the disciple who was in charge of patrolling that day.

This person has been questioned several times before and after, and he can already memorize this statement, but there is no way, even if the things can be retrieved in the end, their disciples who patrolled at that time will still be punished more or less, and now they can only cooperate as much as possible, so that the punishment will be lighter at that time.

When the two of them just stepped into the grove tonight, Yedi also paid attention.

Today she walked the path that was usually walked by her disciples, although the mysterious man usually did not meet with her in such places, but preferred to pick in the dense forest, or simply somewhere else.

On the premise of making sure that the other party is really here, it is more reassuring for her to take this path.

The two of them continued to move forward, "crackling... Crackle, crackle!", but gradually, Liu Qingmian felt that the sound in his ears seemed to have increased.

She kept walking, then suddenly stopped before she could take the next step!

"Crackle, crackle, crackle!" Yedi was startled by her movements, and also stopped, and at this moment she also heard an extra sound behind her, in addition to the footsteps she had just made!

"Chase!" Liu Qingmian's voice just fell, and at the same time, he suddenly turned around and rushed forward!
