Chapter 152: Behind the Scenes

At the same time, the north of the east bank of Mingyang River.

In a quiet dense forest, three disciples wearing yellow robes looked confused, their eyes scanning back and forth in the forest, as if they were looking for something.

There are several birds hovering in the sky, and from time to time, bird songs echo in the jungle, adding a bit of horror and mystery to the place.

The three of them walked along the path opened by their predecessors for a while, then stopped.

"Tell me...where has Senior Brother Lin Qi gone?"

A disciple looked at his two companions with a sad look on his face.

It turned out that these three people were members of the team led by Lynch. It took them an hour to reach the dense forest, but they lost track of Lynch in the blink of an eye.

The three leaderless people now felt very panicked, but they did not dare to use communication symbols to contact the lecturers rashly.

This is a means to save one's life, not to find the captain.

Besides, the three disciples all felt that it was because of their slow pace that they had lost track of Senior Brother Lin Qi. They did not have any complaints against Lin Qi in their hearts, but were full of anger towards themselves.

"It would be great if we were not so unorganized and followed Senior Brother Lin closely."

One disciple said with some annoyance.

The two men immediately set their sights on the last disciple. Unlike these two men, this handsome and good-looking male disciple exuded a steady aura.

In this team, in terms of status, this disciple is below Lin Qi.

His name is Wang Nan, and he is a second-year student at Yuyang Taoist Academy. His cultivation level at the peak of Huayuan Realm is only lower than that of Lin Qi. It is said that he is expected to be promoted to Perfection next year.

Wang Nan frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "It's not an option for the three of us to wander back and forth like this. Why don't we act separately."

"Separate action? Brother Wang, this dense forest is unfathomable and full of dangers. If we encounter any ferocious beasts, we may have difficulty dealing with them."

One person waved his hand hurriedly, with a few drops of sweat on his forehead, obviously frightened by Wang Nan's words.

Are you kidding me? What's the difference between walking alone in the Mingyang River and seeking death?

"Then... it's better to have the two of you act together. It's safer this way. I have the strength to deal with level six ferocious beasts, so there's no problem in going alone."

"This...Senior Brother Wang, are you really able to do this? What if you encounter a level seven ferocious beast?"

"Don't worry, we are still in the first half of the Mingyang River. We haven't gone too far into it at all. We won't encounter level seven ferocious beasts."

Hearing this, the two disciples stopped trying to dissuade Wang Nan. The three of them agreed that no matter whether they could find Lin Qi or not, they would gather back here in two days and then disperse.

Wang Nan headed towards the north alone, while the two disciples walked towards the west knowing that the river bank would have a wide view and would not easily be lurked by ferocious beasts.



To the northeast of the middle section of the Mingyang River, there is a cliff, and there is a very wide cave under the cliff.

This cave is bottomless and pitch black, making people fearful just by looking at it.

But deep in such a terrifying cave, there is a bright light.

In the deepest part of the cave, a pile of firewood lit up by people illuminated the four walls, making every rock on the wall clear.

On both sides of the firewood, two figures, one red and one yellow, sat.

The red figure was a woman. She was leaning on the shoulders of the person next to her. A pair of white hands swept across the person's chest wantonly, as if she was writing something with domineering strokes.

The bright firewood not only dispersed the darkness, but also illuminated their faces extremely clearly.

A red dress was scattered on the ground, like scattered flowers. It turned out that the woman lying on someone else was You Yaqin, a disciple of Shenji Taoist Academy.

And that yellow figure is naturally Lin Qi.

If other disciples saw this scene, their jaws would drop to the ground in shock.

You Yaqin, the most outstanding member of the outer mountain of Wanjian Sect, with peerless appearance and hot body, actually leaned on Lin Qi, a disciple who was not even in the top ten of the earth rankings?

You Yaqin's fair face gently rested on Lin Qi's shoulder, and the hot breath exhaled from her red lips flowed down Lin Qi's earlobes throughout his body, making him feel like he was in a huge furnace, which was unbearable.

His breathing couldn't help but quicken, and he reached out his hand, ready to crush You Yaqin under him.

However, the woman's slender but strong hands stopped his movements.

You Yaqin turned around, left Lin Qi lightly, and sat on the other side of the firewood pile.

"Yaqin...what do you mean?" Lin Qi asked confused.

The red lips curled up slightly, and You Yaqin said in a very soft voice:

"That old guy sent us here, isn't it for these things?"

"Heh..." Lin Qi smiled helplessly, and his face gradually became serious, "This time the task is indeed much more difficult than usual, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes."

"That's why you have to hold back the evil fire in your heart and don't have any evil thoughts."

The charming voice made Lin Qi's heart tremble again. He secretly cursed what a witch she was and coughed twice to relieve the embarrassment.

"Tell me, who is our target this time?"

After Lin Qi heard this, he turned around and looked at the entrance of the cave. After making sure that no one was there, he said slowly and softly:

"Guan Yan'er from Xuanguang Taoist Academy, Wang Nan from Yuyang Taoist Academy, and Zhu Youhe from your Taoist Academy. Among the disciples participating in the investigation this time, these three are the ones who best meet the old man's requirements."

"Is this a person who has outstanding talent but fails to attract the attention of the Taoist Academy after disappearing?"

After You Yaqin repeated the criteria for selecting a target to herself, she chuckled and said:

"Are you sure that arresting Guan Yan'er will not trigger an investigation by Xuanguang Taoist Academy? She is now a famous person in Xuanguang Taoist Academy."

After hearing You Yaqin's advice, Lin Qi frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said:

"My friends in Xuanguang Taoist Academy told me that compared to Guan Yan'er, her contemporary Fang Xueyu is the talent that Xuanguang Dean Liu Su and lecturer Ge Yu value. They all said that Fang Xueyu may become the next Baili Yangqiu

.”

"Interesting." Upon hearing the name Baili Yangqiu, You Yaqin's eyes visibly trembled.

"Therefore, Guan Yan'er is a safer choice. Even if she disappears, the Taoist Academy will first think about whether she encountered misfortune in the Mingyang River. How many warriors died in the Mingyang River without complete bodies, so even if they move towards

Searching in this direction will yield no results.

And Wang Nan from our Taoist academy is not a disciple who attracts attention. The only remaining problem is Zhu Youhe from your Taoist academy. What should I say, will there be any trouble?"

"Trouble?" You Yaqin sneered, with disdain on his face, "Even if there are a hundred disciples who cannot even reach the perfection of the Huayuan realm after two years of entry, Shenji Taoist Academy will not bother to investigate."

"That's good."

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief and was very satisfied with his arrangement of the task this time.

"However," You Yaqin suddenly changed the subject, "Whether the little lady will help you successfully complete the mission depends on what benefits the old guy will give me."
