Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were stunned. If they were sent away in batches, there shouldn't be any danger.
"Oh, I see. Thank you very much. By the way, this is your hard work fee. If you hadn't led the way, it would have taken us twice as long to get here." Ye Liuyun took out a silver ingot from his pocket, a full ten taels, and handed it to the young man.
"This? No, no, ladies. This is what I am supposed to do. I don't need any reward." The young man waved his hands and shook his head.
"Take it." Ye Liuyun jumped off the horse and put the silver in the young man's hand.
Since Ye Liuyun had given it to him, it would be awkward for him to refuse it.
"This? In that case, I will accept it. I'm leaving now." The young man bowed and said.
Ye Liuyun nodded, and the young man left.
After he left, Ye Liuyun looked at Lin Aoxue, and the two of them strolled towards the inn. The servant at the door of the inn hurried over.
"Ladies, do you want to stay in the hotel or have a meal?" A servant looked Ye Liuyun and the other two up and down and asked politely.
"Stay in a hotel." Lin Aoxue replied.
When the servant heard this, he quickly signaled another servant to lead the horse to the stable, and he led Lin Aoxue and the other two into the inn.
As soon as I came in, I heard the hustle and bustle inside.
In the middle of the inn, a handsome young man in white casual clothes was arm wrestling with a big young man. There was a group of people surrounding them, including ordinary people, worldly warriors, and quite a few cultivators.
"Hey? What are they two doing?" Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were speechless when they saw these two people.
Because, the ones arm wrestling were Yun Xin and He Zhiqiu, and it seemed like the two of them were at odds with each other.
Yun Xin is still dressed as a man and has disguised himself carefully, looking like a handsome young man.
There were quite a few Yunxia Sect disciples standing around, all of whom had participated in the last campaign to siege the Blood Demon Sect branch, including Song Shuwen and Xia Yuqiu.
"Senior Brother Li, come on, don't lose to Senior Brother He." The Yunxia Sect disciples around were cheering.
These two must have been competing with each other every day since they were assigned to carry out the mission together, and neither of them would give in.
"I heard that these two young masters are from the same martial arts sect. They compete here every day. They almost treat the first floor of our inn as a fighting arena." The servant explained immediately when he saw Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue stopping to watch.
Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were speechless. These two were simply sworn enemies. They would never stop no matter where they went. They also had no idea why the sect would send the two of them to lead the team to carry out the mission.
"Junior Brother Li, just admit defeat. Can you beat me with physical strength alone? Don't say that I am bullying you. It was you who insisted on competing with me." He Zhiqiu looked at Yun Xin and said sarcastically.
Yun Xin was obviously struggling. Ever since she became a woman, her physical strength had declined a lot. There was nothing she could do about it since she wasn't designed to train her physical body.
Among monks of the same level, the physical strength of male monks is at least 30% higher than that of female monks.
"So much nonsense." Li Jianxin said angrily.
Cracks began to appear on the table in front of the two men, which showed how much strength they had used.
They cannot use magic power and spiritual power in front of ordinary people, but they can use the power directly to enhance their physical strength, which is also acceptable, and ordinary people cannot tell anything.
After the two men were in a stalemate for a minute, Li Jianxin began to lose and his arm began to fall to the right.
"Hehe, Junior Brother Li, I'm going to win again." He Zhiqiu said proudly.
The disciples around were going to be disappointed again.
"Oh! It's over, Senior Brother Li is going to lose again." Everyone looked helpless.
But at this moment, Li Jianxin suddenly saw Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue standing at the door.
"Eh? Junior Sister Lin?" Li Jianxin's words immediately diverted He Zhiqiu's attention.
Chapter 239 No Clues (5000 words)
After hearing Yun Xin's voice, He Zhiqiu instinctively looked towards the door, and saw a familiar face standing there.
He couldn't recognize Ye Liuyun, but recognized Lin Aoxue at a glance.
But at the moment she looked away, Yun Xin's eyes suddenly gleamed with a gleam of brilliance. She took advantage of He Zhiqiu's distraction and suddenly burst out with power.
"This is the moment."
Yun Xin injected all the strength in his body into his right arm in one breath, then suddenly pushed He Zhiqiu's hand back, pressing it all the way down.
He Zhiqiu felt the powerful force coming from his arm and was stunned for a moment, but unfortunately, he reacted too late.
"Damn it." He Zhiqiu cursed inwardly and wanted to increase his strength.
"Boom." He Zhiqiu's palm was pressed heavily on the table by Yun Xin's palm, and the table collapsed due to the heavy force.
He Zhiqiu himself fell to the ground in a daze, and didn't react for a long time.
The people around were also shocked. It was too sudden. It was just arm wrestling, but the noise was too loud.
However, the people from Yunxia Sect clearly saw that He Zhiqiu's gaze was clearly directed towards the door, so they also looked towards the door, and saw Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun standing at the door.
Those who knew Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun naturally recognized them at a glance.
"Eh? Senior Sister Lin, Senior Sister Ye?" Although both of them were wearing veils, they still recognized each other at a glance.
But He Zhiqiu was very angry. He was going to win tomorrow and he felt Yun Xin did it on purpose.
"You? Li Jianxin, are you kidding me?" He Zhiqiu fell to the ground in a daze for a moment, then glared at Li Jianxin angrily.
Yun Xin immediately smiled triumphantly.
"Cheating? Did I cheat? Didn't I win you fairly?" Yun Xin shook his arms disapprovingly.
When He Zhiqiu heard this, his face turned red with anger and he was about to explode, but then he seemed to remember something and held back his anger.
"Hmph! That's unreasonable. I won't bother with you." He got up from the ground, patted his clothes, and then looked at Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.
"What do you mean?" Yun Xin's face suddenly turned dark.
She could hear what He Zhiqiu was about to say.
He Zhiqiu was originally going to say, I won’t argue with women.
"It's meaningless. You are different now than before. I won't bother with you." He Zhiqiu said with a mocking look on his face.
Yun Xin wanted to hit someone, but at this moment, Lin Aoxue spoke.
"Oh, two senior brothers, you are so free that you even have time to arm wrestle here." Lin Aoxue saw the two of them arguing and about to get angry, so she immediately interrupted their conversation.
Yun Xin took a deep breath, suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and then walked towards Lin Aoxue. They must have received the news that Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun were coming to Jianglin City, so they had already prepared to welcome them.
"You two are so slow. Normally, you should have arrived the next day." Yun Xin said calmly.
"Ahem, we were delayed on the road." Lin Aoxue explained.
But Yun Xin was not interested in listening to Lin Aoxue's irrelevant words, so she simply changed the subject.
"We have nothing to do during the day, so naturally we can only find things to pass the time. I didn't expect that the sect would send Junior Sister Lin here. Are they asking you to supervise us in carrying out our mission?" Yun Xin asked thoughtfully.
But Lin Aoxue shook her head. She had no interest in supervising anyone.
The guests around, seeing that Yun Xin and the others knew the two girls who suddenly walked in, immediately cast curious glances at them.
Upon seeing this, He Zhiqiu and other Yunxia Sect disciples immediately spoke to the guests around them.
"Everyone, disperse, the game is over."
After hearing this, the guests left tactfully, because the Yuelai Inn was booked by the Yunxia Sect at a high price. It was okay for the guests to stay there, but they had to obey the orders of the Yunxia Sect.
By the way, they call it Yunmen to the outside world, saying it is a secular martial arts sect.
After the guests left, Yun Xin said to the servant.
"These people are all from our Yunmen. You don't have to worry about them. We will arrange accommodation for them."
When the servant heard this, he quickly said yes and walked away.
After they took over Yuelai Inn, their requirement for the inn was not to ask questions that should not be asked, and not to look at things that should not be looked at. It was that simple.
After they left, Yun Xin and He Zhiqiu signaled the two to follow them upstairs.
The few of them were talking as they walked. Ye Liuyun did not join them, but stepped back to talk with Xia Yuyi and Song Shuwen.
"Senior Brother Song, Senior Sister Xia, how do you feel about your time in the secular world?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.
Xia Yuxin immediately shook her head. Judging from her expression, she was definitely unhappy.
"Ah! There are too many rules in the secular world, and I can't quite adapt to them. The freedom and comfort of the cultivation world is more so. If possible, I want to return to the sect." Xia Yuxin replied.
Song Shuwen has a different attitude.
"I think it's okay. The secular world has more flavor of life and you can see many interesting things." Song Shuwen also replied.
This is the truth. Men are freer. As for women, they have adapted to the life in the cultivation world. It would be too torturous to ask them to return to the secular world and abide by its rules. Moreover, they cannot use their power at will.
"Hey! There are indeed a lot of rules in the secular world. Have you found any clues about the Blood Demon Cult's headquarters during this period?" Ye Liuyun asked again.
In fact, when she saw Yun Xin and the others looking so leisurely, she knew that they must not have found out anything.
Look, Xia Yuqi and others just shook their heads.
"Unfortunately, there are no clues at all. We all suspect that Yun Zong may have made a wrong judgment. We have been here for almost a month. Oh, by the way, something big happened in Liuyang Mountains. You two were there at the time. Was it exciting?" Song Shuwen asked curiously.
Ye Liuyun also told everything that happened in the Wind-Crying Rain Forest.
When Song Shuwen and the others heard how dangerous the situation in Fengqiyu Forest was, they were also frightened. It was much more dangerous than the situation at the Blood Demon Cult branch.
At this time, Lin Aoxue was also asking Yun Xin and the others whether they had obtained any valuable clues, but Yun Xin and the others also shook their heads and told them about their difficulties.
"We are in Jianglin City, restricted in our actions and unable to use our strength at will. It is too difficult to find the location of the Blood Demon Cult's headquarters." He Zhiqiu said with a gloomy face.
Indeed, Jianglin City is too crowded whether it is day or night. It is actually more lively at night, but at night, with the cover of darkness, they can use some of their strength.
But they were unable to concentrate on looking for clues. They had searched all the places they should have searched during this period of time, but still found nothing.
So there is only one answer, that is, the Blood Demon Cult branch is either right in the open, but they don’t know about it, or it is hidden by a formation.
But no matter which one it is, it is disadvantageous to them.
Soon they arrived at the door of Lin Aoxue's residence, which was arranged by Yun Xin for her and Ye Liuyun in advance.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. It's useless to talk about it. This is too difficult. I don't think we can complete this task. Let them have a good rest first, and then we can talk about other things." Yun Xin interrupted He Zhiqiu.
He Zhiqiu rolled his eyes and said nothing more.
Lin Aoxue was also in a dilemma after hearing these words. She couldn't find Yun Xin and the others, so what should she do? Even if she found them, how could she eliminate the Blood Demon Cult branch without alerting the people of Jianglin City? This seemed to be an unsolvable dead end.
"Do the cultivators from other sects have any clues?" Lin Aoxue asked finally.
He Zhiqiu answered first again.
"There's not a single clue. If we had any clues, I wouldn't be here arm wrestling with this guy. I've been arm wrestling with her for several days. Your arrival today distracted my attention and caused me to lose." He Zhiqiu complained.
Yun Xin on the side wanted to roll her eyes again.
For some reason, Lin Aoxue suddenly felt that the relationship between Yun Xin and He Zhiqiu seemed to have improved a lot. To be precise, He Zhiqiu began to understand how to tolerate Yun Xin.
"Okay, then let's take a break first and talk about other things in the evening." Lin Aoxue called Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun nodded and said to Yun Xin.
"Brother Li, please help this little girl find a place to stay. She is a maid I picked up on the road."
---------------------------------
When Yun Xin heard this, she glanced at Fan Ling and nodded without hesitation.
Just like that, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue entered the superior room, while Fan Ling went to another room.
After arranging everything for Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue, He Zhiqiu spoke again.
"Hey, Li Jianxin, let's start over. What happened just now doesn't count. You were taking advantage of someone's misfortune."
But Yun Xin immediately retorted.
"Are you mentally ill? You only take advantage of the male body. If you had become a woman like me and not changed back, it is not certain who would have won. I'm going back to practice first, and I have to go out to look for clues at night." Yun Xin snorted coldly and left.
This made He Zhiqiu very unhappy.
"Hey? What does your becoming a woman have to do with me? On the contrary, I think that after you became a woman, your temperament became so pretentious. Where did the obsessive-compulsive Li Jianxin go? In the past, if I challenged you, you would definitely not refuse. Now you actually refuse my challenge. Have you become a woman and your personality become weak?" He Zhiqiu said angrily.
Yun Xin ignored him.
But after living as a woman for such a long time, Yun Xin still has self-awareness of herself now. In terms of physical strength, she is really not as good as He Zhiqiu. It is meaningless to refuse to admit defeat blindly, unless she finds a way to improve her physical strength.
Yun Xin quickly returned to her room. Seeing Li Jianxin's state, He Zhiqiu had no choice but to return to his room.
Then look at Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue who have returned to the room.
