[Task Participants: Two people (Ji Yijie and Ya Fei have been designated)]
Looking at the antique ring in Gu Xun'er's hand, Li Yijie silently mourned for the old man who had inexplicably logged off. The old man hadn't even gotten his revenge before someone looted his loot.
Moreover, the one who looted the bag was a purebred Hyukyu, with a reputation that would likely be completely ruined. "So, Yi Jie, how should we complete this mission?"
Ya Fei has always been clear about her role in this situation: she's just a nobody.
There was no other way; the guy we had to deal with this time was Yao Lao.
Even if that old apothecary was a time traveler, and had a weakened state, he was still the old apothecary.
Upon hearing this, Li Yijie thought for a moment and decided that there was no need to rush the matter. Don't be fooled by what the system said about Gu Xun'er's future within a month.
In reality, given Yao Chen's current state, would he dare to reveal anything amiss in front of Ling Ying?
Therefore, based on Li Yijie's speculation, the other party will initially approach Gu Xun'er with the positive image of the Medicine Venerable. Whether or not they will become disciples is uncertain, but they will definitely find an opportunity to stay by Gu Xun'er's side.
Abyssal succubi have plenty of opportunities to slowly corrupt people in their daily lives, which is why the mission has been stretched out to a month. Ultimately, the difficulty of this mission lies not in killing the fake Yao Chen, but in getting past Gu Xun'er.
The sooner you act, the lower the probability of the other party being corrupted, and the higher the possibility of turning an enemy into a friend. "If nothing unexpected happens, Yao Chen should appear tonight."
If we seize this opportunity to expose their true colors, we should be able to gain the upper hand to the greatest extent possible. The only uncertainty here is Gu Xun'er's attitude.
After all, the other party is a young lady from a wealthy family. Even if the truth about Yao Chen is exposed, didn't the two of them still sneak in like secretive people?
Therefore, Li Yijie chose to trust his succubus constitution this time. Even if he couldn't turn enemies into friends, he at least hoped it wouldn't backfire during the mission.
As night fell, a shadow appeared among Gu Xun'er's, and Ling Ying bowed slightly. "Miss, did you call me here for something?"
Gu Xun'er narrowed her eyes upon hearing this, a hint of anger flashing in them.
"Elder Ling, go to the Mittel Auction House now and find out the identity of the young man who is with Ya Fei. Most importantly, find out... what his relationship is with Ya Fei."
“If they really are in that kind of relationship, then bring that boy to me!”
Even after the battle aura test ended earlier today, Gu Xun'er still couldn't forget the boy. But as the little princess of the ancient clan, she also had her own pride.
Now!
If she was interested in someone, she could easily influence them with her own charm, and thus abandoned the idea of having Ling Ying investigate the kidnapping. She, Gu Xun'er, utterly disdained using such petty tricks against a mere concubine's daughter offered for a marriage alliance by a small family!
But... not long ago, when Gu Xun'er happened to witness Ya Fei, that woman who burned herself, cuddling with Li Yijie and telling Xiao Zhan that they were sleeping in the same room, she couldn't hold back anymore.
In a fit of anger, Gu Xun'er immediately ordered a peak Dou Huang expert to kidnap the person. Ling Yingxi was really pushing her.
No… Miss Xunxun, are you awake?
That boy is just a man a concubine's daughter from a small family has taken a fancy to. Why should someone of your noble status do something so unbecoming of you? Don't underestimate Ling Ying just because he's only a servant of a peak Dou Huang; he's served you for over a decade, so he can still have some influence. "Miss, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Gu Xun'er scoffed coldly upon hearing this, and said righteously, "There's nothing I shouldn't do, Elder Ling."
"I noticed that the boy's gaze towards me was a bit off earlier today. Tie him up and bring him to the secret room for me to interrogate him properly."
Ichiban.
Well, since Miss has said so, Ling Ying completely gave up on trying to persuade her.
"Then please take good care of yourself for now, Miss. The young man will appear in your... new secret room early the next morning."
The young lady has grown up, but her style is quite different from her refined father. This matter cannot be kept secret; we must tell the clan leader!
Upon hearing this, Gu Xun'er turned her head and coughed lightly twice, implying that she should act quickly. Honestly, why be so blunt?
Thus, Ling Ying, unable to protect anything, once again missed the crucial opportunity to protect her young lady.
After Ling Ying had been gone for a while, an aged figure appeared in the ancient storage ring placed on the table. Instantly, the entire room was filled with ethereal mist.
Hehe... Little girl, thank you for feeding me your fighting spirit these past few days.
Although the old man had an upright appearance and could be considered handsome, Gu Xun'er always felt a sense of disdain and resentment towards him.
"Don't misunderstand, the one who provides you with fighting spirit is not me, but my servant."
As she spoke, Gu Xun'er's eyes gleamed with golden flames, and she questioned Yao Chen with an attitude that completely disregarded his humanity.
So… this old codger, clinging to life in his storage ring, do you have any last words? Just kidding!
Gu Xun'er is not like Xiao Yan, a naive girl with no status or background.
She had seen many such soul entities back in the ancient world; their purpose was nothing more than seizing another's body and being reborn.
But life in the Xiao family was so boring that Gu Xun'er had Ling Ying send some battle qi in, intending to make fun of Yao Chen.
But I never expected the other party to appear in front of me so coincidentally. Heh. It must have been premeditated.
Even so, Gu Xun'er still didn't take the old man seriously.
The opponent is now just a remnant soul; I only need to activate the secret technique and use the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame to easily annihilate it.
On the other side, watching Gu Xun'er unleash the Golden Emperor's Heaven-Burning Flame at the slightest provocation, intending to kill him, Yao Chen was extremely panicked. This...this isn't right!
He himself was a renowned Medicine Venerable in Zhongzhou, and this ruthless woman attacked without even asking a question? "Wait! Little girl, don't attack yet, let me explain!"
In response, Gu Xun'er, still furious, unleashed the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame and coldly said, "I'm too lazy to talk to you; you're not worthy to listen!"
As she spoke, she activated her secret technique, preparing to destroy the remnant soul right there. "Wait, I am Yao Chen, the Medicine Venerable of the Starfall Pavilion in Central Continent, a disciple of the Medicine Clan!"
It was precisely because of that shout that Yao Chen was spared from death, looking like he had just escaped a calamity. Damn it!
This Dou Qi Continent is too dangerous; I almost died as soon as I landed!
Chapter 63 Yao Chen is not Yao Chen
"You claim to be the Medicine Venerable of Zhongzhou and a disciple of the Medicine Clan, but what evidence do you have?"
Gu Xun'er comes from the Gu Clan, one of the eight ancient clans of the Dou Qi Continent, and naturally knows about the Yao Clan, which is also one of the eight ancient clans.
Since the other party might be a member of a family of similar rank, she was naturally willing to give Yao Chen a chance to prove himself.
But... before Yao Chen could explain, a faint voice came from the side. "You say you are who you are? Then I am the Wind Venerable of the Central Continent Starfall Pavilion."
Upon hearing these words, Yao Chen's prepared remarks were completely disrupted, and he became somewhat exasperated. He turned his head and spoke in the tone of a senior.
"Young friend, don't talk nonsense. Venerable Feng Xian is my good friend. How could he be impersonated by someone else?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the people who had arrived. It was Li Yijie and Ya Fei.
In fact, they had been there the whole time while Ling Ying and Gu Xun'er were talking, just waiting for the main character to arrive. Seeing that Yao Chen was about to pull off his elaborate deception, Li Yijie promptly interrupted, giving Gu Xun'er a subtle glance. What's this called?
Does the Battle Through the Heavens world also have its own secret chamber Douluo?
Gu Xun'er felt a little awkward under his gaze, blushing as she fidgeted with her fingers. "Young Master Li, what brings you here?"
"Hehe, if I hadn't come, Miss Xun'er would probably have been fooled by this fake." "Fake?" Gu Xun'er pointed at Yao Chen, who was frozen in place, and said with a smile.
“But Xun’er just realized that this senior is a successor of the Dou Di bloodline, but his bloodline is too thin.”
As she spoke, she put away the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame, feigning a clever gesture. This left Ya Fei speechless.
Is this still the arrogant and haughty little princess of the ancient clan who looks down on everyone else in the story? Yao Chen also knew that this group of people were definitely not characters from the story.
However, the plot of Battle Through the Heavens was inherently flawed, which is why the ring ended up with Gu Xun'er. He was a bit flustered for a moment. As soon as the bloodline of the Dou Di was mentioned, his back straightened instantly.
"That's right, the fact that I have the bloodline of the Medicine Clan's Dou Di in my body has already proven a lot."
However, just as he was about to unleash the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Gu Xun'er's face instantly turned cold. "Who told you to speak? Shut up!"
As she spoke, she quickly changed her expression and looked innocently at Li Yijie.
“So, young master, Xun’er is really confused right now and doesn’t know who to listen to.” “But Xun’er sees that Young Master Li looks so kind and doesn’t seem like a liar.” “How about this, let’s clear out these irrelevant people and talk privately?” Gu Xun’er didn’t care whether this Yao Chen was the real Yao Venerable or a fake Yao Venerable.
It's hard for her to feel anything unless she becomes a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint). On the contrary, it was Li Yijie who piqued her interest.
Since the other party is convinced that the medicine is fake, let's use this opportunity to make a fuss.
Unrelated personnel. Upon seeing this, Ya Fei immediately understood; this little princess seemed completely unaffected by the succubus's charm.
The other party was probably trying to intimidate her, wasn't they? She chuckled to herself.
“Yi Jie, Miss Xun’er is right. Why don’t you go and explain to her privately why this Mr. Yao Chen is a fake?”
"As for me, Yafei, I won't keep you company."
After saying that, she left decisively. Whatever.
Anyway, Li Yijie has so many women he could practically fill another world. Even if you're a young lady from an ancient clan, you'd only ever be a fish in his pond.
Maybe... She might even have to call me "older sister" from now on. This left Gu Xun'er completely bewildered.
However, remembering that the person in question was still here, she sneered inwardly. "You're smart to know what's good for you!"
Seeing that Ya Fei had completely left and that Ji Yijie had no objection, Yao Chen was no longer of any use. Therefore, Gu Xun'er smiled and said...
"Young Master Li, can you explain now why this Mr. Yao Chen is a fake?" Li Yijie had figured out the trick.
The reason why Gu Xun'er was not affected by the abyss succubus aura is probably because she was affected by her own succubus body beforehand.
So he made up a random excuse and pointed at the frightened Yao Chen, saying, "Because he's ugly."
Gu Xun'er nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
“Young Master Li is right. How could such an ugly fellow possibly be the renowned Medicine Master of Zhongzhou?” Let Xun'er handle this imposter.
As she spoke, she decisively summoned the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame and blasted it towards Yao Chen without hesitation.
In his previous life, Yao Chen was just a small-time hoodlum who had never seen what a real leader looked like. When faced with a real life-or-death crisis, his performance was even more appalling.
It was a complete disgrace!
However, Ji Yijie did not let his guard down, because although the other party was a fake, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame was no joke.
As expected, while hastily dealing with the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame, Yao Chen finally remembered that he still had a trump card to use. So, filled with resentment, he used a large amount of Bone Spirit Cold Flame, coldly laughing as he controlled the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame. "You didn't believe me when I told you I was Venerable Yao! You're simply asking for trouble!"
"So what if you're an ancient clan princess? Without Ling Ying, you're just a useless piece of trash who can only exert the strength of an ordinary Dou Shi!"
"And even if I only have a remnant soul left, my soul energy can still reach the second level of the Battle Spirit realm! Of course, this falls under the category of the Life-Burning Fighting Style."
Seeing the other party's imposing manner, Gu Xun'er's expression changed.
Just then, Li Yijie appeared in front of the girl without her noticing, and an ice domain silently formed. "Xun'er, you did very well."
"Now, leave the cooking to me."
As he spoke, Li Yijie unleashed the full potential of the demonic essence within him, revealing the demon god, while recalling the principles and steps of the technique in his mind.
The next second, a bright blue circle appeared between his hands, instantly making Yao Chen feel a deadly threat. "Mo Ke."
However, before Li Yijie could finish chanting, Yao Chen suddenly let out a series of screams. "No!"
"Bone Spirit Cold Flame, you...you dare to betray me!"
"No... I haven't even had my hands on a woman on the Dou Qi Continent yet, I don't want to die!" Li Yijie was stunned for a moment, then realized that Yao Chen had actually set himself on fire.
That's right, before he could even make a real move, Yao Chen was burned by the bone spirit cold fire on his body.
How is this going?
Let alone Li Yijie, this person from another world, even Gu Xun'er, the owner of the strange fire, was not quite sure what the other party was up to. Generally speaking, once a strange fire is subdued, it rarely suffers from being devoured by its own power.
Even if there were, it wouldn't be like Yao Chen, who was burned to death by his own strange fire. It's more like... there was some deep-seated hatred between them.
In just a few seconds, Yao Chen was burned to ashes, leaving not even his soul behind, and died amidst endless screams. The mission was complete.
Li Yijie got 13,000 points, and Ya Fei got 7,000.
This distribution is probably because most of the output from the potion dust is Bone Spirit Cold Fire, so it is relatively even.
At this moment, Li Yijie suddenly remembered something, his expression becoming extremely complicated. "I think I know why Bone Spirit Cold Fire turned against me."
Gu Xun'er was very curious and asked, "Why?"
"Because Yao Chen is not Yao Chen, and will never gain the recognition of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame."
Chapter 64: What kind of state did they put Butler Shen in?
Gu Xun'er didn't understand Li Yijie's meaning, nor did she want to.
For her, the only people in Wutan City who could pique her interest were Gu Diyu and Li Yijie.
Whether the other party was truly the Medicine Venerable was irrelevant. Gu Xun'er, cupping her chest, looked at Li Yijie with a half-smile. "Young Master Ji, you shouldn't be from this world, right?" Li Yijie didn't refute her.
