"It's easy to kill people, but not easy to deal with the consequences."
Liu Qingyuan finished disposing of the body and returned to Wei Tao, "I can secretly make a move and try my best to place the cause of this man's death on the Green Lotus Sect.
But the people on Qinglin Mountain are not fools, especially the one who died was an inner sect deacon, which will definitely lead to more detailed investigation, sir, please be careful next time."
Wei Tao rubbed a nameplate in his hand.
His complexion gradually returned to normal.
He was silent for a moment and slowly shook his head, "I didn't want to kill him, or even have a conflict with this person."
“When we were having dinner at Bai Cui Lou, I was initially prepared to lower my profile and fool him, but he was obviously coming for me and would not change his mind because of my attitude.
Therefore, temporary retreat and forbearance will not bring peace. Even if I knelt down for him at that time, it would only make my death more painful. Why do you think this is necessary?"
"It's better to simply beat him to death and then think about the follow-up issues."
Liu Qingyuan asked, "So, what are you going to do next, sir?"
"What should I do? Didn't you ask me if I wanted to join the Patrol Department?"
Quietly, the scale-shaped nameplate disappeared. Wei Tao stared at the void in front of him in a daze, sighed and continued.
"Now I think about it, it is still necessary to have one's feet in two boats. Sometimes this is not a bad thing, but a good thing."
"A cunning rabbit has three holes. It is only natural for a man as amazing and talented as Mr. to find an escape route for himself."
Liu Qingyuan laughed, "If it doesn't work, sir, just follow me back to the Central Plains. No matter how strong his Yuan Yiyi is, he will not easily cause trouble in the capital."
"Besides, I have no plans to leave Qizhou yet."
Wei Tao was still staring at the status bar in front of him. After absorbing the armor plate, the number of gold coins had become one.
He really doesn't want to go to Beijing now.
After all, the situation has not reached the point of no return, everything has not been settled, and there is still room for maneuver.
If you turn around and leave at this time, wouldn't you be taking the initiative to acknowledge everything?
In addition, even if you go to the capital, you will not have to face a series of new problems, and your situation may not be better than staying in Qizhou.
Don't talk about anything else, just take out Liu Qingyuan's uncle and analyze it.
As a regular attendant of the Pilgrimage Department and a warrior at the level of mysticism, if he learns about the Blood Spirit Silk, what will happen next is also unknown.
"Next, don't go back to the Taoist temple. Go to Luoshui City to find a place to stay."
Wei Tao ordered, "If you don't have enough money, I will prepare some expenses for you."
Liu Qingyuan smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, sir, I still have some connections in Luoshui City, so I don't need to spend any money on anything I do."
After a pause, she asked again, "What about sir, do you still want to return to Qingfeng Temple?"
"Of course I want to go back."
He put on the clothes he had folded and placed on the ground early in the morning, took out a few Yuan Ju Dan pills from his pocket and drank them.
"When we were at Bai Cui Lou, Guanzhu Li made it very clear that as long as no one was killed in the Taoist temple, it had nothing to do with him.
I chose to intercept and kill him far away from Qingfeng Temple to express my attitude and leave enough face for Guanzhu Li."
“So, it’s relatively safe for me to go back for the time being.
At least until the outcome of the battle on Qinglin Mountain is reached, there won’t be any major problems.”
Liu Qingyuan reminded, "Sir, don't underestimate Li Kun. Without sufficient strength and means, it is impossible for him to be able to take root in Qingfeng Temple for so many years."
"I know."
Wei Tao breathed out a soft breath, "I have heard of Li Kun's methods before, but it was not until today's collision that I truly understood the true strength of the Master of Qingfeng Temple."
"So in your opinion, sir, what height does Li Kun stand at?"
"Tall, at least above me."
He frowned slightly, "Besides, there was another person hiding on the second floor in Bai Cui Building at that time. I didn't vaguely feel it until the last moment."
"But don't worry, you can't beat me, but if I really want to leave, it will be difficult for him to keep me."
Wei Tao warmly expressed relief that he indeed had this confidence.
If the situation really goes wrong, as long as he is not blocked in a blind corner and unable to escape, he can burst out his energy and blood with the Demonic Elephant Mysterious Technique, step by step and add pressure to the herring, and he will definitely be able to sprint forward at a speed far exceeding that of a good horse.
Hundreds of miles without stopping.
"In that case, I'll leave first."
Liu Qingyuan opened the paper umbrella and walked towards Luoshui City, "If anything happens, sir, you can find me at the Yuelai Inn in the north of Luoshui City.
Oh, you have to enter through the side entrance of the narrow alley at the back entrance. There is also a small courtyard inside. If anyone asks, just take out my token..."
Wei Tao watched her go further and further away, and soon disappeared from the end of his sight.
Then he slowly turned around and left this wild land full of deep pits.
Qingfeng Temple, Green Bamboo Garden.
It was evening and there was a gentle breeze.
The newly replaced large stone table in the courtyard is filled with all kinds of carefully cooked food.
Wei Tao picked up the bowl and chopsticks, but stopped in mid-air.
He pointed at the stone bench opposite and said, "Sit down, Old Zuo. You always watch me eat like this, and I can't even eat anymore."
Zuo Shi was silent for a moment, then sat down on the stool.
"Eat, if you don't eat, I won't eat either."
Wei Tao pointed to the dishes on the table, "You eat first this time, and I'll finish it later, so you can also taste what it's like to eat while others are watching you."
"If that's the case, then I won't be polite."
Zuo Shi lowered his eyes, put some vegetables on each plate, mixed them into the basin in front of him, and ate them in big gulps.
Wei Tao sat motionless until he put down his chopsticks and then started to sweep away all the dishes.
Zuo Shi poured tea for the two of them and returned to the standing posture.
"Master Deacon, how should my subordinates respond to Daozi about today's events?"
"You tell the truth."
"The deacon will be away for a while this afternoon. Should I tell you, or should I not tell you?"
Wei Tao frowned slightly, "Then what do you think, should I say it or shouldn't I say it?"
Zuo Shi said, "Returning to the deacon, if nothing happens, there is no need to say it. If something happens, I think it would be better to give Dao Zi a hint, so that she can be prepared in advance."
Wei Tao looked at him deeply, with a thoughtful expression on his face, "So in your opinion, is there something wrong or nothing?"
Zuo Shi lowered his head, "I don't dare to speculate, let alone make false claims."
"Okay, let me ask you again. Based on your understanding of her, does she hope that something will happen, or does she hope that nothing will happen?"
"Daozi, she..."
Zuo Shi remained silent for a longer time, with a tangled and hesitant expression on his face, as if he didn't know how to speak.
"It's just the two of us here."
Wei Tao smiled gently and said, "Just say it with confidence. Even if you are wrong, I won't blame you."
Zuo Shi took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, "If that's the case, then I'll just tell you."
"After passing news with Daozi for such a long time, according to my subordinate's understanding, she naturally doesn't want anything to happen.
After all, it will be very troublesome if something happens, even though she is a closed disciple of the Taoist master, she will inevitably be implicated."
"but……"
At this point, he suddenly changed the topic, "But if you look at it from the perspective of a deacon, being timid in the face of trouble will make Daozi look down on you.
If this matter really stems from Daozi, and it is inevitable, then it would be better to overturn the table directly. As long as what she does is in line with her temperament, there is a high chance that she will help you get through later."
Wei Tao stroked the warm and smooth porcelain cup, his eyes falling deeply on Zuo Shi.
She saw sweat on his forehead, and then slowly said, "Lao Zuo, you are telling me these things, but you have gone beyond the scope of One Eye's duties. Aren't you afraid that she will find out and blame you?"
Zuo Shi lowered his eyes and bowed, "Ever since the deacon was arranged by Daozi to enter Qingfeng Temple, my subordinates have had a mutually prosperous and mutually destructive relationship with you. I didn't make it clear before, it's just hard to say it clearly."
"I see."
Wei Tao was silent for a long time, "Just tell her that if she stays in the library, half a year may not be enough."
