Free Web NovelAfter Fang Ji got in the car, a few words made the atmosphere in the car extremely heavy. It was as if something was brewing in the air, and even the slightest spark would cause a violent explosion.
Hua Sang looked at Lu Yibei with burning eyes and silently expanded her spiritual perception.
The Spiritual Energy fluctuation was the same as before, probably only around B Level, and the aura was also completely unfamiliar.
But why did this Miss who just got in the car say she had a similar aura to Lu Yibei?
Could it be that the aura this Miss mentioned was not the aura of Spiritual Energy fluctuation, but some kind of unique aura?
Hua Sang thought, slightly parted her lips, and seemed about to say something.
Just then, the bus driver looked over through the rearview mirror, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face, and loudly reminded, "Passenger, don't stand after getting in the car!"
"There are many mountain roads ahead, quickly find a seat and sit down, don't fall later."
Hearing this, Fang Ji was startled for a moment, quickly bowed to the driver, and repeatedly said, "Sorry, sorry!"
As he spoke, he quickly walked over and sat down in the seat behind Lu Yibei and Hua Sang.
----
Lu Yibei glanced at Fang Ji behind her with her peripheral vision, then looked at Hua Sang beside her whose gaze hadn't moved for a moment, and pondered inwardly.
...
Judging from Hua Sang being sent to monitor me, she might not be the most talented disciple of Da Chunyang Palace, but her level of trust might be even higher than Fu Xinyi's.
If the secret of my transformation into a urban legend is exposed to her, she has no reason to hide it for me and will definitely report it to Black Emperor.
When that time comes, if Black Emperor makes a move, not only will I have no chance of getting the Lingtai Pure Karma fragment, but even squatting in front of Zhenting Hall to guard the gate would be my best outcome.
Although Lu Yibei felt that guarding the gate for Da Chunyang Palace was not bad, apart from being a bit shameful, by clinging to Black Emperor's leg this way, she could safely be a'salted fish' (someone lazy and content).
But thinking that there might be no more chance to free Old Dad's residual soul imprisoned by the Eclipse Society, and that Jiang Li would have to buy a ticket if she still wanted to see her in the future, she couldn't accept it.
Do I have to put on another act?
However, the reason I was able to deceive Fu Xinyi before was mainly because she saw me use Taihe Gentleman Sword to deal with Suolang Baima and Miss Rabbit, and she preconceived me as a Senior of Da Chunyang Palace.
Hua Sang not only seemed a bit smarter than Fu Xinyi, but also had no other factors influencing her judgment. Could a fabricated story really fool her? Lu Yibei thought with a headache.
Facing Hua Sang, she couldn't just directly use Charm ability or Wang Quan (Royal Authority) to influence the other party's mind like she did with those Psychic and urban legend who already had grudges against her, and then shove an Alchemy Dirty Bomb into their mouths after achieving her goal.
It's a bit difficult!
----
At the same time.
Noticing the atmosphere in the car becoming strange, Saleh and Shem began to whisper.
Saleh craned his neck, one hand covering his mouth, and quietly asked, "Elder, what's the situation now? Why did all three of them become strange after the pseudo Holy Child mentioned the name Lu Yibei?"
"A Holy Child is a Holy Child, and a fake is a fake! Where did this 'pseudo Holy Child' come from?" Shem corrected in a low voice.
As he spoke, he looked at the three people by the car door and continued, "In my opinion, Lu Yibei is definitely someone who has been involved with all three of them."
"And the aura the fake mentioned is definitely not the aura of Spiritual Energy fluctuation, otherwise the woman tracking the Holy Child would have noticed the abnormality long ago."
Hearing this, Saleh's eyes lit up as if he suddenly understood something, "Elder, I understand! Could it be that the aura the pseudo Holy Child mentioned is the fragrance of the miracle flower?"
...
Shem didn't immediately connect the aura Fang Ji mentioned with the fragrance of the miracle flower. Hearing Saleh say this, he "thought deeply" for a few seconds and nodded, "Very likely!"
"Then what should we do next?" Saleh asked quietly.
"Hmm..." Shem pondered for a moment, looked at Lu Yibei, and said seriously, "Assist her in secret!"
After a pause, he added, "It's best to let her sense our goodwill and gain her favor, so it's convenient for us to have further contact with her after getting off the car and confirm her relationship with the Holy Child."
Hearing this, Saleh nodded solemnly, "Okay, understood!"
----
Two minutes later.
After Fang Ji sat down, he cautiously observed the bus driver for a moment with his neck craned, and after confirming that the Uncle would not be fierce to him again, he finally spoke again, igniting the unstable atmosphere that had been brewing in the car for a long time.
He reached out and gently patted Lu Yibei's shoulder, "Sister, you still haven't answered my question just now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Sang also turned her head to look at Lu Yibei, nodding slightly, "Yes, I also want to know why you have Lu Yibei's aura on you."
"If it's convenient, could you explain?"
Although I have my own judgment criteria, no matter how you explain, I won't completely believe it, but I still want to hear your sophistry first... Hua Sang added in her heart.
"I..." Lu Yibei opened her mouth, then hardened her heart, covered her face with her hands, and said in a heavy and pained tone, "Why? Why do you keep mentioning his name?"
As her voice fell, it only took a few seconds for her emotions to progress from the pain of having a wound reopened to the breakdown of painful past events churning in her heart.
Two streaks of clear tears slowly slid down through the gaps between her fingers.
"Wuwuwu—! Don't you know, every time you mention his name, I feel like a sharp knife is stabbing into my chest, bleeding profusely, do you know?"
"You want to know why there's an aura similar to his, right? Okay, I'll tell you! My name is Wang Bu Liu Xing, and I've known Lu Yibei since I was about five years old..."
Lu Yibei said, recalling the extra experience she gained from the God Kingdom Prototype concerning Nanling Yaohua, she substituted herself as Nanling Yaohua, added a little embellishment and mixed in some details, thus weaving a youth story with a sweet beginning and a bitter aftertaste.
"Isn't it normal to have his aura after spending over ten years together day and night? It's just that he changed later, and disappeared from my world without any warning..."
"Alas, to be honest, I came here to look for him too, but unfortunately, I lost track near the scenic area, and seeing that it was getting late, I could only return to my residence in the city first."
Lu Yibei said, sniffled lightly with her delicate nose, raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her cuff.
Fang Ji stared at her blankly, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Although he didn't quite understand the feeling of "liking," after watching Lu Yibei's wonderful "performance," he still felt the bitterness in her words and was greatly shaken.
... Hua Sang looked at Lu Yibei, silent for a moment, her eyes trembling slightly, seemingly calculating something.
She remembered Li Xuan's instructions when he first introduced Lu Yibei to her.
Li Xuan told her that although Lu Yibei wasn't some heinous person, she had an alarming amount of bad intentions and excellent acting skills. At most, half of what she said could be believed. When getting along with Lu Yibei, one should always be wary of being tricked.
After interacting with Lu Yibei before, she found that Lu Yibei was not quite like what Li Xuan said, so she didn't take Li Xuan's words to heart. But facing the current situation, recalling Li Xuan's words, she couldn't help but become more vigilant.
In other words, assuming Lu Yibei in front of me has turned into this Miss for some mysterious reason and doesn't want to be exposed by me, she is likely acting, and only half of what she says can be believed...
But which part is true? Forget it, that's not important!
What's important is that Senior Brother said Lu Yibei has severe facial paralysis, and this Miss covered her face with her hands when laughing and crying. It's unknown if this is a coincidence, so she needs to be tested.
Hua Sang thought, just about to speak, when suddenly Saleh's voice came from the back row.
"That's right, everything this Miss said is true! I can prove that she and Lu Yibei are indeed in that kind of relationship!"
"We also know Lu Yibei and understand him very well. With that guy's personality, he can indeed do such scumbag behavior!"
"???" Lu Yibei turned her head to look at the unnamed young man and tilted her head. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Who the hell are you? Don't cause trouble!
You say you understand Lu Yibei, have you asked for Lu Yibei's opinion?
Just as she was complaining inwardly, she saw Shem beside Saleh nod slightly at her, the corner of his heavily bearded mouth curving slightly upwards, revealing a meaningful smile.
The smile made her feel uncomfortable all over.
Lu Yibei, "..."
Although they acted like "righteous people" who couldn't stand Lu Yibei's bad behavior.
But in Lu Yibei's eyes, it felt like a "human trafficker impersonating a parent, planning to abduct a child from kindergarten."
Scared.jpg
Hua Sang looked at Saleh and Shem, narrowing her eyes slightly.
Those two Psychic of unknown origin, do they really know Lu Yibei?
Perhaps it's necessary to inform Master later and have her send someone to investigate them.
After a brief silence, Fang Ji suddenly stood up, slightly clenched his fists and said, "I didn't expect Lu Yibei to be this kind of person!"
"Sister, don't worry, we can look for him together. When we find him, I can help you teach him a lesson!"
As he spoke, his indignant appearance clearly showed that he completely believed Lu Yibei's nonsense.
Lu Yibei, "..." Let's talk about it when you find him? It's not certain who will teach whom a lesson then!
Hua Sang nodded slightly, followed Fang Ji's words, and said softly, "Sorry, I misunderstood you just now."
"Since everyone is looking for Lu Yibei, why don't we travel together?"
One more person means one more strength, and also one more chance to slack off and 'fish in troubled waters'! Hua Sang added in her heart.
Seeing that she had successfully fooled Hua Sang, Lu Yibei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, who needs your help? After getting off the car, we'll go our separate ways!
However, Hua Sang's next words instantly tensed her just-relaxed nerves.
"Alright, alright, don't think about unhappy things for now, smile?" Hua Sang said.
"This... isn't very good? I'm in a terrible mood right now, I can't smile at all!" Lu Yibei said subconsciously.
Hearing this, Hua Sang placed a hand on Lu Yibei's shoulder, her fingertips exerting slight pressure. It seemed like she was gently squeezing her shoulder to encourage her, but in reality, she was quietly approaching her collarbone, preparing to restrict her movement.
"It's precisely when you're in a bad mood that you should smile even more! Based on my personal experience, facing sadness with a smile is a good remedy for pain."
"Come on, smile? Miss Wang."
Hua Sang's words were indeed one of her personal experiences in overcoming the shadows of her childhood.
Even if this Miss Wang Bu Liu Xing was telling the truth, it would still have a good comforting effect.
"That's right, Sister, smile?" Fang Ji echoed.
The driver also looked at Lu Yibei through the rearview mirror, his face full of anticipation.
"Yes, this Miss is right!" Even Saleh nodded and said, "Smile, it's no big deal. Maybe you'll encounter a miracle the next second?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shem pulled him back into his seat.
"Elder, I'm not finished yet!"
"Shut up! Whose side are you on?!" Shem roared.
"Hehe..." Amidst the jeers from the crowd, Lu Yibei covered her mouth and let out a light laugh, then nodded, "Mm, after laughing, I do feel much better!"
"Miss Wang is born so beautiful; she must look very good when she smiles," Hua Sang said with a slight smile. "You should be a little more confident and laugh freely; that way, it will be easier to feel better."
Hearing this, Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment and looked at Hua Sang.
She saw her smiling, her expression gentle and considerate, as if she was truly encouraging a girl suffering from emotional distress. But in the depths of her slightly languid eyes, there was clearly a hint of cunning.
That feeling was like a carnivorous turtle lurking in a deep pool, disguised as a fallen leaf, just waiting for a small fish to swim by before launching a lightning-fast strike, cruelly tearing the fish apart with its sharp, pincer-like mouth.
Lu Yibei, "!!!"
Damn it! She did it on purpose!
She doesn't seem to have believed anything I said; it was all an act!
Why didn't I see it before? Such a good Miss, yet when you cut her open, she's black! Lu Yibei thought.
In fact, if she had spent a few more days with Fu Xinyi, she would have known that Hua Sang had always been the type who was outwardly lazy and quiet but inwardly pitch black since she was a child.
Seeing Lu Yibei looking at her expressionlessly and remaining silent for a long time, Hua Sang had a glimmer of understanding. She shrugged and said, "Alright, I can see that Miss Wang is in a really bad mood. This kind of thing can't be forced; just take it slow?"
Although she didn't know why Lu Yibei had suddenly turned into Miss Wang, in Hua Sang's heart, she was already convinced that this Miss in front of her was at least 90% likely to be Lu Yibei.
Thinking this way, it was understandable to see Lu Yibei taking off her clothes at the waterfall group...
After getting off the bus, I'll continue to watch her and see what she's up to. Maybe there will be unexpected gains.
Then I'll tell the Old man everything I've seen and heard, and let him judge for himself. Hua Sang thought.
The nighttime erosion that alleviated the Spirit Mark's loss of control, suddenly turning into a beautiful girl without the aura of urban legend, the inexplicable heart palpitations that accompanied her change...
There were still too many things about Lu Yibei that Hua Sang wanted to know. After confirming the identity of this "Miss Wang", she didn't rush to expose her, but chose to remain silent and continue observing.
She stretched, leaned against the window, and began to close her eyes to rest.
As she expected, monitoring Lu Yibei was indeed a tough job.
As someone from the 'Machine Explosive' faction, she had acted like a 'Machine Eight' faction member, and she felt her 'energy bar' was almost empty.
Too tired...
Next, she probably had to borrow energy from the next few days in advance.
After this tough job was done, she had to bring dry food, find a place to hide, and sleep soundly for three days!
Lu Yibei narrowed her eyes slightly, watched Hua Sang for two or three seconds, then withdrew her gaze and silently returned to the window seat in the last row, pulling down her hat brim.
She was sure that Hua Sang had seen something, otherwise, she wouldn't have shown that kind of look or made that kind of test.
But why didn't she expose her?
Was it because she wasn't absolutely certain, so she chose to act cautiously and wanted to continue following me for further observation in order to obtain more concrete evidence?
Or was it because the aura mimicked by the Coat concealed my original Spiritual Energy fluctuation aura, she didn't discover that I was a urban legend, so she let me off the hook?
Tsk! No matter what she's thinking, I'll just slip away as soon as I get [N O V E L I G H T] off the bus. Shizhou City is so big; it's not Zhenwu Mountain Scenic Area. Isn't it easy to shake off someone? Lu Yibei thought.
In her opinion, even if Hua Sang vaguely guessed that she was Lu Yibei, as long as Hua Sang couldn't find enough evidence to identify her as a urban legend, there was still room for maneuver.
Is a male Psychic not allowed to become a female Psychic through some means? Without evidence, Da Chunyang Palace can't just persecute an innocent probationary officer, can they?
However, to be safe, it's probably better not to go back to Da Chunyang Palace for now.
First, wait in Shizhou City for a day or two, ask Mengmeng to urgently make a Paper Cicada Immortal in human form and send it over, and then use the Paper Cicada Immortal to probe the situation before making a plan.
Speaking of the Paper Cicada Immortal, that guy... Lu Yibei thought for a moment, looked at Fang Ji who had turned around and was grinning foolishly at her, and slightly furrowed her brow.
Should I just detonate the Paper Cicada Immortal on her after getting off the bus?
To save her from continuing to pester me.
With a little manipulation and controlling the timing and distance of the Paper Cicada Immortal's explosion with her, it shouldn't kill her.
As Lu Yibei was thinking, the phone in her arms suddenly vibrated.
Taking out her phone and glancing at it, she saw the Website link sent by Netizen Laosepi and slightly furrowed her brow.
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "Got your account stolen from browsing an improper Website?"
Netizen Laosepi 00: "The improper Websites I go to are all very legitimate; how could my account be stolen? Getting back to the point, take a look first. Someone has issued a designated mission to you."
Designated mission? Lu Yibei tilted her head and clicked on the information sent by Netizen Laosepi. The yellow and black interface of the urban legend Bounty Website came into view.
Unlike the detailed descriptions of most bounties on the urban legend Bounty Website, the description of this designated mission was quite brief.
【Mission Description: Join the Secret Society hidden within Da Chunyang Palace.
Bounty Commission: The thing you are looking for within Da Chunyang Palace.】
Lu Yibei continued to read. When she saw the Bounty Commission section, her pupils trembled slightly, and then she chose 【Refuse Mission】 without hesitation.
That whatever society, I've never even heard of it. Only a fool would join randomly!
And this ambiguous Bounty Commission, plus Hua Sang just guessed my identity...
And I received this designated mission. If you say there's no trickery in it, I absolutely won't believe it!
Lu Yibei thought, looking at Hua Sang's back and giving her a fierce glare. Then she lowered her head and saw the words "Mission Accepted" appear on the phone screen.
Lu Yibei was stunned for a moment and quickly switched to a certain goose social software interface to send a message to Netizen Laosepi.
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "No way? We're so familiar with each other, how can you still do such scummy things? Forced mission acceptance, right? 【/angry】"
Netizen Laosepi 00: "Huh? No! Wait a minute, let me check. 【Little loli's confused gaze】"
A few seconds later.
Netizen Laosepi 00: "That's strange. It shows here that you did successfully refuse the mission, but the mission was still successfully accepted by someone else.
"But it wasn't you; there was an error, and the mission was pushed to a guy whose ID is 【A Little Hamster】. I don't know how she miraculously bypassed the block and successfully accepted it, even though it was your designated mission...
It's okay, you don't need to worry. I'll handle it here."
After reading Netizen Laosepi's reply, Lu Yibei pondered for two seconds, and a bold idea suddenly arose in her mind. She quickly typed a message.
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "Wait a minute! Don't rush to handle it. Can you send me that guy's account?"
Netizen Laosepi 00: "What do you want to do? You're not going to cause trouble again, are you? 【Little loli's wary gaze】"
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "What bad intentions could I have? I'm just very interested in the mission's reward but don't dare to accept it myself, so I'm thinking of providing some help to this lucky person.
"If she can successfully complete the mission and get the reward, I'll just trade with her then.
At worst, you can act as a fair third party for the transaction on your urban legend Bounty Website. After all, you have this service, don't you?"
Someone is willing to be cannon fodder to probe the situation; that's naturally excellent~!
After waiting for a moment.
Netizen Laosepi 00: "That's fine too, but you can't force others and you can't impersonate the Monster Story Chat Group to post false information. I will check your chat records."
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "That's all? Don't worry, I, Disaster, never do things that force others!"
I have plenty of ways to make them willing.
Netizen Laosepi 00: "【A Little Hamster's business card】"
The next moment, Netizen Laosepi saw a notification message pop up in the Hua City Monster Story Chat Group.
【Wang Bu Liu Xing invited Disaster to join the group chat】
Netizen Laosepi 00: "Inviting yourself? What are you doing here?"
Wang Bu Liu Xing: "【Pink-haired loli feigning ignorance】"
————
One minute later.
Front row of the bus.
Holding his phone, Fang Ji looked at the mission acceptance success that the Monster Story Chat Group had inexplicably pushed to him, his eyes shining with excitement.
He had originally come to Da Chunyang Palace to look for something that he himself found difficult to specifically describe.
Now someone was telling him that as long as he completed the mission, he could find what he wanted. How could he not be excited?
Just as he was excited, a friend verification notification suddenly popped up 【From the Hua City Monster Story Chat Group's "Disaster" requests to add you as a friend】.
Fang Ji hesitated for a moment, chose to pass the verification, and the next moment received a message from "Disaster".
Disaster: "It is understood that you have just successfully accepted a urban legend Bounty Website mission. I am your mission guide. Before the mission begins, I have a question I would like to confirm with you. May I ask if you accepted this mission voluntarily? If not, I can help you cancel the mission."
A Little Hamster: "Mm-hmm, it's voluntary."
Disaster: "Thank you for your cooperation! Then, as you complete the mission, I will serve you throughout. Please also share your mission progress in a timely manner so that I can provide you with precise assistance. 【Pink-haired loli smiling】"
A Little Hamster: "That's great, thank you! Let's work hard together!" freewebnoveℓ.com
————
Outskirts of Hua City, in a certain villa.
Netizen Laosepi finished reading the conversation between Lu Yibei and "A Little Hamster", took two hard slurps of instant noodles, and muttered, "Why does it smell like online fraud? Tsk, what a scumbag!"
Although he greatly despised Lu Yibei's actions, there was no reason to stop her.
Firstly, "A Little Hamster" accepted the mission voluntarily, and Lu Yibei even confirmed it once.
Secondly, Lu Yibei only said she was a mission guide, not that she was a mission instructor sent by the Monster Story Chat Group.
Finally, Lu Yibei had no malicious intent. According to the system's judgment, she would indeed provide help to "A Little Hamster". "A Little Hamster" also needed her help, which conformed to the behavior of private transactions between Monster Story Chat Group members. Monster Story Chat Group administrators should not interfere too much.
The only problem was that this private transaction seemed a little unfair...
