As night falls, the surrounding courtyard of Gu Yuan's house is filled with the rich aroma of rice. Just smelling it can lift people's spirits.
This was also the first meal that Gu Yuan and others had together after returning from the secret realm. With the addition of Su Yao, they all took this opportunity to get together.
The happiest thing is Yun Duoduo. Su Yao is a girl and she finally has a companion.
The only regret is that Li Cheng took over a Grade A sect mission and has not returned yet, one person is missing.
Gu Yuan originally wanted to help, but Li Cheng said the task was very simple and didn't want Gu Yuan to help.
He said that it was close to Scarlet Flame City and he just happened to be returning home, so he wouldn't bother Gu Yuan.
Considering that Li Cheng might have personal matters to attend to, Gu Yuan didn't insist.
He just asked Li Cheng to speak up if he needed help, and Li Cheng agreed.
Outside the small courtyard of Gu Yuan's house, Elder Liu was not in the mood for dinner.
He was taking more than twenty elite disciples to check the terrain outside the small courtyard.
Although these disciples have abstained from grains, they still cannot change their habit of eating at certain times.
At this moment, smelling the aroma of rice, I felt a little moved.
"This is definitely the spiritual food from Piaoxiang Tower in Mingguang City. It's so fragrant!"
"I smell the aroma of braised jade-winged bird and grilled silver dragon swordfish, and there seems to be Jade God Zhixian mushroom soup."
"These big losers, their meal is enough for us to practice for half a month."
Even listening to Elder Liu's instructions, everyone was a little distracted.
"snort!"
Elder Liu snorted rather dissatisfiedly.
"You've all calmed down. You still want to eat it now, and you're not afraid of overturning the situation soon?"
"Did you hear clearly what I just said?
Don't accidentally injure Ming Qi during a fight.
Otherwise, not even I can protect you!"
One of the disciples was obviously surprised: "Elder Liu, is Ming Qi here too?"
Soon another disciple said: "No wonder they are eating so well. It turns out they have climbed up to the boy who gave them money."
Elder Liu showed a secretive expression.
When the other disciples mentioned Ming Qi, their faces showed undisguised contempt.
Although Ming Qi is the young sect leader of Tiandao Sect, in the final analysis it is just because he has a good father.
This guy is a real piece of trash, and none of the elite disciples can think highly of him.
It is precisely because of this that Ming Yuyan pays special attention to these friends of Ming Qi.
Several bold disciples around started talking openly.
"Since Ming Qi is here, why do we come to pull out the tiger's whiskers?
Madam Jade treats him as precious as an eyeball, if he is injured, we will have to shed our skin even if we don’t die."
"That's right, after Ming Qi leaves, won't it be the same if we come back?"
"Even if you want to take action, why not wait until they fall asleep in the middle of the night?
How unsafe is it for people to come and go now?”
…
"Midnight?
You are all elite disciples, tell yourselves, if someone jumped into your dormitory in the middle of the night, would you be aware?"
Elder Liu scolded him sternly, fearing that these elite disciples would be dissatisfied, so he added a few more words.
"There is an advantage in taking action at this time. Even if you are discovered, you can say that you are looking for someone, or simply say that you have gone to the wrong courtyard."
"You were caught in the middle of the night. Who would believe you when you said you were looking for someone?"
"Besides, you also know that people come and go nowadays. Although this road is relatively quiet and there are fewer people coming, there are still people passing by occasionally."
"Even if you are discovered, it will be easier to escape."
"When you are discovered in the middle of the night, will you try to escape?
I can lock you from three miles away!"
Everyone was silent for a while. What Elder Liu said made sense, but everyone still felt that it was unreliable.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Elder Liu continued to assign tasks to everyone.
It's nothing more than letting everyone enter in batches from different locations.
"They are all eating inside now. It is expected that someone will come out soon."
As for why he came out, it was obvious that he had to find a place to put water after drinking too much.
Everyone was obviously not very interested, and no one even responded.
Elder Liu frowned and said: "We support you with ten Qi Gathering Pills every month, but it is several times the salary of the sect. If anyone is passive and slows down in work, don't blame me for turning against you."
"You can just be lazy and play around if you want. I'll spit out all the Qi Gathering Pills I ate before!"
After finishing speaking, everyone's expressions on their faces adjusted, and if nothing else, they all became more serious.
After Elder Liu finished speaking, he looked around and said: "This operation is over, each of you will receive ten more Qi Gathering Pills from me. As long as you handle things well, the benefits will be yours!"
Everyone felt a little happy, and the atmosphere was obviously much more harmonious.
There were actually a few elite disciples who took the initiative to join in.
Elder Liu nodded secretly. It is true that money can make the world go round.
For this operation, Elder Liu even drew a blueprint and spread it on the ground to assign tasks to everyone.
At this time, a circle of people were squatting on the ground, studying the drawings drawn by Elder Liu carefully.
"Hu Tao, just wait on this wall. Once someone comes out, you and Liu Lin will find a way to pin him down."
Elder Liu pointed to one of the walls, thinking and giving instructions.
"Try not to make too much noise and not to disturb the people in the house."
After hearing Elder Liu's instructions, Hu Tao and Liu Lin nodded repeatedly to show that they heard it.
"If Hu Tao and Liu Lin can't hold it back, then Zhang Yong and Chang Yuwen will go and support them!"
"After holding him down, take him out! I will meet you outside."
"Elder Liu."
Chang Yuwen frowned and said: "If someone comes out for convenience and is held down by us, and this person never goes back, won't the people in the house become suspicious?"
Elder Liu smiled confidently:
"This is Tiandao Sect. Who would have thought that we would kidnap other disciples in Tiandao Sect?"
"Don't worry, they won't be suspicious in a short time."
"Even if they feel that this person's time out is a bit long, they will only ask another person to come out and take a look at the situation."
Ge Linghui, who had been squatting and looking at the map, said something dull.
"Why are we kidnapping our disciples?
Is it just to lure them out one by one?
Elder Liu has to give us some answers, right?"
After Ge Linghui finished speaking, the other disciples nodded and everyone looked at Elder Liu.
Elder Liu thought about it for a while and felt that this matter could not be hidden, so it was better to tell everyone now.
"Our target this time is a little girl named Yun Duoduo."
"Yunduoduo?"
"Why haven't you heard of it?"
Everyone exchanged puzzled looks.
Elder Liu waved his hand, "This Yun Duoduo was recently brought to Tiandao Sect by Ming Qi. It's normal that you don't know her."
"Then if we don't know each other, how can we know who Yun Duoduo is?"
