He just abducted a Night Watch operative, and now he's running around carelessly?
How dare this guy!?
Has he done similar things too many tis, becoming a habitual offender with no sense of reverence?
The mont she saw Dai Lin, Lu Yibei almost lost control, rushing out to pin him to the ground, pressing Xuan Ying Luofu against his neck, and interrogating him about Jiang Li's whereabouts.
If the answer was satisfactory, she would give him a quick death; otherwise, she would make his head move, and then use a directional soul-summoning Spell to ask again.
Anyway, there's always a way to make him talk.
However, after taking several deep breaths to calm herself, Lu Yibei's rationality temporarily gained the upper hand, suppressing the impulse in her heart.
Now is not the ti to act rashly...
Dai Lin is a mber of the Eclipse Society; his appearance in this small oasis indicates that the Eclipse Society is contacting Half-Guitan tribes.
Although it's unclear what the Eclipse Society is plotting by colluding with the Half-Guitan, neither side is good, so what good could co from them teaming up?
Especially in this sensitive period, with unusual activity at Yun Pass and a large number of urban legend erging in the Gobi Desert...
According to the Eclipse Society's past modus operandi, appearing near Yun Pass at this ti clearly indicates they want to cause a major incident, and it cannot be ignored.
Since Dai Lin has appeared, Lu Yibei won't let him escape easily again, so before acting, it might be better to observe a bit more and figure out the purpose of the Eclipse Society's contact with the Half-Guitan tribes.
If she's lucky, following Dai Lin might lead her to Jiang Li, or even the Eclipse Society's lair near Yun Pass.
Killing two birds with one stone!
By then, she could take Jiang Li away without anyone knowing, avoiding a fierce battle.
Moreover...
Lu Yibei's peripheral vision drifted towards Nanling Yaohua, and she frowned slightly.
From the various intelligence she had gathered, and the Spiritual Energy fluctuations detected by her spiritual sense, Dai Lin had at least 1.121 New Rabbit combat power. If she were to act against him, she would have to use her full strength, leaving him no room to struggle, to avoid any accidents.
But with Nanling Yaohua by her side, many thods would be inconvenient to use...
Just as Lu Yibei was secretly calculating, Nanling Yaohua looked over at her, sensing her abnormality.
Her pink fists were tightly clenched, her eyes were bloodshot, and her breathing beca rapid, clearly looking like she had seen an enemy but was desperately trying to restrain herself from exploding.
She recognized those two? Nanling Yaohua tilted her head and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Do you know them?"
Lu Yibei glanced at Nanling Yaohua and nodded, "Mm."
After a pause, she added, "That guy owes a hundred yuan and hasn't paid it back for over two years. You could say we have a deep-seated grudge."
Nanling Yaohua, "..." You think I'd believe your nonsense? Obviously not!
Looking at "Lu Qingyi," the figure of Lu Yibei suddenly appeared in her mind.
That Lu Yibei was just like that; the more crucial the mont, the more burdened she was with worries, and the more informal she beca, as if doing so could make those who worried about her feel more at ease.
Seeing Nanling Yaohua's disbelieving expression, Lu Yibei sighed silently and explained, "Alright, actually, that guy is an Eclipse Society mber, and he's one of my mission targets as a special investigator here near Yun Pass."
"..." Nanling Yaohua opened her mouth, hesitated several tis as if about to speak, then nodded.
A rather serious question suddenly occurred to her.
If those Half-Guitan arrive later, and they both rush out while the two groups are trading, what if the Half-Guitan and the two Eclipse Society mbers run in separate directions?
She is the current head of the Yun Sand Sea lineage, and the Yun Sand Sea lineage has been sworn enemies with those Half-Guitan tribes for generations. If such a chaotic situation truly arose, she would definitely have to chase the Half-Guitan first, but Lu Qingyi is a Night Watch operative and would certainly prioritize pursuing the Eclipse Society mbers.
Should they act separately?
Although Nanling Yaohua trusted Lu Qingyi's strength and believed she could operate alone in this Gobi Desert, she didn't want to separate from Lu Qingyi before understanding all of Lu Qingyi's secrets.
Because only from Lu Qingyi could she obtain so information about Lu Yibei.
Even after seeing Lu Yibei crying desperately while clinging to that Miss, and then hearing the bad news from Yun Pass, she had already decided to accept her destiny, return to the Gobi Desert alone, and no longer disturb them.
However, given the opportunity, she still couldn't help but worry.
This is a very contradictory, yet common, psychological state.
Just like many people who break up still secretly follow their ex-boyfriend/girlfriend's social dia.

As they walked, their feet rustled on the sandy ground mixed with small pebbles.
As soon as he reached the edge of the small oasis, Dai Lin stopped, extending his spiritual sense to its maximum, his eyes vigilantly scanning left and right.
Seeing his cautious deanor, the woman beside him rolled her eyes and teased, "Are you that scared?"
"What do you know?" Dai Lin retorted unceremoniously, "That's a genuine Disaster!"
Yes, he had known for a long ti that the Disaster might appear in this small oasis.
When he left the Miracle Order's camp, he told the other Miracle Order mbers that he was going to procure supplies from the Gu Na Tribe's Half-Guitan.
However, there are many ways and places to get supplies in this vast Gobi Desert, and choosing to trade with Half-Guitan is abnormal if you think about it.
In fact, Dai Lin was here entirely because he received a mission from Left Envoy Fang, instructing him to act as bait and lead the Disaster to a predetermined location.
But while others might not know how powerful the Disaster is, could Dai Lin, who had been active in Dream Co True Entertainnt City for years, not know?
Ever since the Disaster overthrew the Big Boss, her legend has been circulating on the Dream Co True Journey, almost becoming the most prestigious existence on the entire Dream Co True Journey, second only to Black Peony and Jade Palace Immortal.
And now, half a year has passed since the Disaster appeared in Dream Co True Entertainnt City. During this ti, she has experienced battles in Taoyuan, the Pink Fluffy Rabbit riot in Shizhou City, and recently killed the Maitian God's offspring in Mountain City... Now she will only be stronger than she was in Dream Co True Entertainnt City!
Even if Fang Ji thoughtfully prepared a helper for him, Dai Lin still felt that if he wasn't careful, people would really die!
Before departing, Dai Lin seriously asked Fang Ji two questions.
"How do you know the Disaster will definitely appear there?"
Fang Ji replied with a smile, "I just think it's possible, but I believe in miracles."
"Then... how can you be sure that your subordinate won't be killed by the Disaster before bringing her to the predetermined location?"
"Because I believe in miracles!" Fang Ji still smiled, patting Dai Lin's shoulder.
The aning he understood was: you've been buffed, now go get yourself killed!
What's the difference between this and telling an ordinary person to use their body to stop an out-of-control big truck and then tell them to believe in a miracle so they won't die?
Although Dai Lin was a Miracle Order mber, he only believed that miracles happened at the gambling table, and he wasn't a fanatic, not fanatical enough to joke with his own life.
If it wasn't absolutely necessary for him to successfully lure the Disaster, he would have even wanted to quit imdiately after taking Jiang Li from Sanxia ntal Hospital, then go into hiding until the fuss died down.
But now...
Sigh!
"Ding-a-ling—ding-a-ling-ling—!"
Just as Dai Lin was feeling uneasy, a crisp ringing sound suddenly drifted from afar, entering his ears.
He froze for a mont, looked in the direction the sound ca from, and at the sa ti concentrated his mind, sweeping his spiritual sense towards that direction, and his face imdiately changed.
In the direction the bell sound ca from, he detected two very faint Spiritual Energy fluctuations that were difficult to notice without careful detection...
"Run! Run! It's an ambush!"
Dai Lin almost instantly jumped up, pulling his companion, and ran wildly without looking back.
————
On the other side.
The bell in her arms suddenly rang without warning, and before Lu Yibei could figure out what happened, she saw Dai Lin not far away, like a startled bird, suddenly accelerate, shooting towards the vast Gobi Desert like an arrow released from a bowstring.
Damn it, she had alerted the enemy!
Without ti to think, Lu Yibei suddenly stood up, ready to give chase.
The mont she stood up, her gaze inadvertently swept across Nanling Yaohua's face, and her body suddenly stiffened.
On Nanling Yaohua's face, she saw an extrely complex expression: confusion, resentnt, and more amusent.
It felt as if she had done sothing bad, and Nanling Yaohua had already discovered it, never exposing her, but then she herself suddenly jumped out and perfectly self-destructed.
In an instant, it was as if a flash of lightning streaked through Lu Yibei's mind, then gradually spread, interweaving into a complete sequence of events.
First, the bell in her arms belonged to Nanling Yaohua, and it had rung to warn her when she was attacked by okin rod, saving her life, which proved that the bell was a Spiritual Energy item.
Second, a Spiritual Energy item, when kept with its owner for a long ti, would naturally develop a subtle connection, so even reaching a blood-linked, shared prosperity and loss level.
Finally, since the bell was Nanling Yaohua's Spiritual Energy item, she must have sensed it when she appeared at the Kulun Ridge outpost.
I understand, I understand everything!
She had known about the bell's existence all along, but had been acting!
But now...
Lu Yibei thought, quickly composing herself, glanced at Dai Lin, who was now just a blurry outline in her sight, bit her silver teeth lightly, and said to Nanling Yaohua, "It's urgent, I'll explain when I get back!"
Saving Miao Miao Jiang is the priority!
With that, her figure flashed, and she exerted her speed to the limit, chasing in the direction Dai Lin had left, leaving everyone else behind.
Behind her, Nanling Yaohua's voice ca from afar.
"Lu... Qingyi, co back! The wind is picking up!"
After a soft call, seeing that Lu Yibei didn't look back, Nanling Yaohua bit ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) her lip, hesitated for a mont, then chased after her.
Lu Yibei didn't know the specific use of this pair of bells, but she did.
When this Wind-Chi Bell rings, it ans the wind is picking up in the Gobi Desert.
Not an ordinary strong wind, but the terrifying sandstorm accompanying the appearance of Yun Pass...
