【Hint】: The mortal level technique "Basic Sword Move: Intercept" has obtained a critical hit and has been promoted to the Profound level technique "True Interpretation of Intercept".

Huh?

Ying Wuji lowered his head and saw the slightly glowing Bai Zhi's eyes, feeling inexplicably excited.

"You lost before I even tried?"

After other people's Emotional Bar breaks through 80, it's hard to make any progress, but she...this personal little maid is really a treasure.

He rubbed Bai Zhi's head. "Let's go home!"

"Okay!"

Bai Zhi nodded, and the two walked away side by side.

The sudden appearance of the zombies was too abrupt, and they didn't have time to prepare a carriage, so they could only leave on foot.

When they passed by a small alley, Ying Wuji stopped.

"Young master?"

"Just wait a moment!"

Ying Wuji walked straight to the small alley and saw Wu Shuangxu leaning against the wall with a sword in her arms. She should have been waiting for a while.

He frowned slightly. "Did you tell the officials about someone attacking me?"

Wu Shuangxu shook her head. "I did, but Wei Qian said it was just an excuse you made up to save face, so he didn't let me follow."

Ying Wuji's expression eased slightly. "But you still waited for me here. Do you believe me?"

Wu Shuangxu had no expression on her face. "I believe in my judgment. With your physique, it is impossible to die from fainting disease!"

"Can you help me investigate?"

Ying Wuji didn't believe in Wei Qian, let alone Xun Zhiyin. Moreover, the killer was very secretive this time. If he really handed it over to them to investigate, it would likely end with a compromise.

It was Wu Shuangxu who made him feel that he could rely on her.

Wu Shuangxu nodded. "Yes!"

So straightforward?

Ying Wuji was a little surprised. "But if you really find out something, it may affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Aren't you worried about being blamed?"

Wu Shuangxu shook her head. "As a cultivator, I should seek truth and punish evil when I come down from the mountain to join the Flying Fish Guards. As for diplomatic relations, it is a game for politicians and has nothing to do with me."

Her expression was indifferent from beginning to end.

Ying Wuji couldn't help but look at her with admiration. "Thank you very much, Miss Wu. However, the situation this time is too strange, and I am a little puzzled."

After all, he wasn't a professional and still had to listen to Wu Shuangxu's opinions.

"Don't worry, just follow my lead!"

"This..."

Ying Wuji subconsciously took a step back. "Do I have to cut something?"

Wu Shuangxu also thought of the scene in the mortuary just now and her Emotional Bar fluctuated slightly.

She shook her head and handed a porcelain bottle to Ying Wuji. "At that time, your blood was stagnant, and I had to cut to test for poison. But since you have already awakened, you can come to me and pour the Return Dragon Soup into the bottle. If someone really poisoned you, I can use medicine to test it out. Rest for a few days first, and when your body recovers, please help me with the investigation."

After speaking, she hurriedly left the alley.

Ying Wuji looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand and thought that these Taoists were quite professional. They could even test urine.

"What is Return Dragon Soup, young master?" Bai Zhi asked curiously."This... you don't need to worry about it, just know that I have it," Ying Wuji said.

"How could I not know?" Bai Zhi circled around Ying Wuji, curious like a baby. "I'm the one who takes care of all your things! Where is it? Where did you hide the Return Dragon Soup? Show me."

Ying Wuji hesitated for a moment, then rubbed her head. "It's not time to show you yet. I'll show you when the time is right."

"Okay..." Bai Zhi nodded and looked in the direction Wu Shuangxu had left. "Master! So many people want to leave you as soon as possible, but this witch girl came to help you. Could she be planning something against you?"

"No, she won't," Ying Wuji smiled. As a hostage abandoned by his motherland, he had no value to offer. He preferred to believe that Wu Shuangxu was someone who stuck to her principles. Even if she had ulterior motives, it was a matter for the future. For now, self-preservation in the chaotic world was the top priority.

The world's structure was similar to the Spring and Autumn Period of his previous life, with some overlap in characters and historical trajectories. Zhou Tianzi was the nominal lord of the world, but the various lords fought for power and territory.

However, there were some differences. Zhou Tianzi had ruled for 1,500 years, but there was no sign of unification. The era of the Hundred Schools of Thought had not completely passed, with many lords' courts being dominated by debates between Confucianism and Mohism, as well as other schools of thought such as Legalism and the School of Names. On the other hand, Taoism gradually faded away, with disciples emerging one by one to cultivate themselves.

Only in recent years did Taoist sects actively send disciples into the world to subdue demons and evil spirits. On the one hand, it was to maintain order, and on the other hand, it was because of the decline in personnel. They had to rely on the power of the court to select some good seedlings in the secular world.

Ying Wuji and Bai Zhi went straight back to the Qian Kingdom embassy.

The embassy was where Ying Wuji had lived since he was a child. Nowadays, it was common for lords to exchange hostages between their kingdoms. Although the hostages were miserable, as long as their motherland was strong, they would not fall into the hands of others. In fact, the hostages usually held diplomatic positions. As long as they performed well and could return to their motherland, their status would not be low.

For example, the current King of Qian, Ying Yue, had been a hostage in the Li Kingdom before. After returning to his country, he defeated another prince and became the king directly. Therefore, although Ying Wuji did not have the title of Crown Prince, he had always been treated as one. Even the teacher who had taught Ying Yue when he was young had been sent to teach Ying Wuji, along with various literati and scholars. His treatment was quite generous.

Unfortunately, all the preferential treatment he had received had been taken away by Ying Yue for his illegitimate son, and the intention to crown him as Crown Prince was obvious. This was an inevitable situation, as the gap between the two sons was too great.@@novelbin@@

The Ying clan was one of the eight ancient surnames, and was the bloodline of Emperor Zhuanxu. Once the ancient bloodline was restored, as long as they did not die prematurely, they would become a powerful figure of their time. In comparison, Ying Wuji was really not up to par. He had a mediocre personality and average abilities. Although he had not made any mistakes, for a nobleman in a chaotic world, mediocrity was the biggest mistake.

"It's really a bit deserted!" Ying Wuji looked at the embassy in front of him and couldn't help but smile. He thought of the lively scene before and had a sense of deja vu, as if the monkeys had scattered when the tree fell.Not only did more than half of the people leave, but the funds were also reduced. In the future, if he wants to live extravagantly, he's afraid he'll have to find a way to make money himself.

Bai Zhi was a little angry: "Isn't this bullying an honest person? Although the young master's aptitude is mediocre, he is not a bad person. Even if he hasn't done much, he has suffered a lot for the Kingdom Qian. Why should he be treated so badly?"

Ying Wuji covered his chest: "Please stop!"

This girl was sent by Ying Wuji's mother's clan to be a close-knit little coat.

As a result, who would have thought she would be a soft hedgehog armor, and still wear it backwards.

No wonder she has been a watery maid for so many years and is still a virgin.

This can't be avoided!

Bai Zhi felt a little wronged: "Young master, I am helping you vent..."

【Reminder】: Target emotional fluctuation value breaks through 90, randomly obtain mortal rank skill "Basic Sword Move: Collapse".

【Reminder】: Mortal rank "Basic Sword Move: Collapse" obtains a critical hit, and advances to the Profound rank "True Explanation of Collapse".

Ying Wuji: "......"

Lost again?

Who said this was a soft hedgehog armor, this is clearly this young master's precious baby!

Although the Profound rank skill is not particularly high for the nobles, this kind of move that enters the Profound rank in one move must have its extraordinary features. He had a faint feeling that if all the basic sword moves were promoted, there would be a qualitative change.

He quickly rubbed Bai Zhi's head: "What I mean is that as long as you take care of me, I will take care of the outside affairs. Don't be upset because of this."

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her face turned red. She smelled the scent of Ying Wuji's body that was stained with the smell of the mortuary, and quickly said: "I'll go boil water and wash clothes and take a bath for the young master."

After speaking, she dropped a few attribute points and hurriedly ran away.

Ying Wuji looked at the deserted embassy and slowly exhaled.

Bullying an honest person?

Mediocre aptitude?

This situation is likely to be irreversible.

I.

Have a cheat!
