Lu Yibei ultimately did not allow Dragon Tang to really kill Shen Baiwei. Instead, she once again used a Spell to control her, preparing to take her back to Daimu Courtyard. She threw her into an abandoned woodshed, locked her up, and requested a few skilled Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers from Dragon Tang to guard outside the woodshed.
Although Shen Baiwei's inexplicable appearance here had a high probability of becoming an obstacle to her, she felt that the conflict between her and Shen Baiwei had not escalated to the point of being irreconcilable.
What's more, if the problem wasn't resolved in one go and she was sent back to Yun Pass, she would probably have to put pressure on Shen Baiwei again to send her over.
Chatterbox Girl said that she only wanted to tornt Shen Baiwei to death, not actually kill her. There's a significant difference between the two.
Simply put, it's the difference between tornting soone to death and tornting them to wish they were dead.
While Lu Yibei found it difficult to tornt soone to death, she was quite adept at making life worse than death for others...
After dealing with Shen Baiwei, Lu Yibei imdiately set off for Daimu Courtyard.
She wanted to see Xia Lianqing quickly.
On the way back to Daimu Courtyard, she roughly deduced from Dragon Tang's and the street pedestrians' fragnted words that it had been about half a day since she instructed Xia Lianqing to take action against the enemies who had infiltrated the city, with the ti shifting from midnight to noon.
She had no idea what had happened during this period. She felt that to find a way to rescue the tens of thousands of unford urban legend, it was necessary to quickly understand the current situation at Yun Pass.
And the quickest way to understand the current situation at Yun Pass was to ask Xia Lianqing.
As for why she didn't ask Dragon Tang, who was right in front of her...
"I'm not too sure either. You'd better ask Miss Xia later?" Dragon Tang said, giving Lu Yibei a friendly smile, "Speaking of which, your strategy last night was quite effective!"
Lu Yibei, "..." See? That's why I didn't ask him!
Although this fellow was quite capable in a fight, he was too simple-minded and direct, often missing many details and not taking many things to heart. Asking him would be pointless.
It would be even more troubleso if she received so muddled, incorrect information from him.
"Although Xia Lianxing, who led the team, and so enemies unfortunately escaped, front-line scouts reported that the speed at which the major tribes, acting as the Shaman King's army vanguard, were advancing towards Yun Pass had noticeably slowed down."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yibei was slightly surprised.
She had originally thought that the plan she gave to Xia Lianqing, which could expose the enemies who had infiltrated the city and put them in a dilemma, was already quite good. She hadn't expected it to also incite conflict among the major tribes, which was truly an unexpected gain.
However, upon closer thought, this situation was both unexpected and reasonable.
Although those tribes all belonged to the Shaman King's command, they had been fighting each other for many years before the Shaman King appeared and united them. It would be strange if they could form genuine trust in a short period.
From a certain perspective, the Shaman King's army was like a palace with a magnificent exterior but a fragile internal structure. Once subjected to a strong external impact, local collapse could occur.
"This is called, called losing a horse, no, a horse..." Dragon Tang stamred, holding it in for a long ti without forming a complete sentence.
"Are you trying to say, 'A blessing in disguise?'" Lu Yibei rolled her eyes at Dragon Tang and said expressionlessly, "You think this is luck? Wrong! This was all part of my plan. Otherwise, do you really think they could have escaped?"
She lied; it was pure luck!
But if the rhetoric is appropriate, a result obtained by luck can also be presented as carefully planned, can't it?
After hearing Dragon Tang's words, Lu Yibei suddenly understood why Dragon Tang's attitude towards her had changed so drastically: it was because she had not only dealt with the enemies who had infiltrated the city but also successfully bought Dragon Tang and Xia Lianqing more ti to arrange various matters within Yun Pass.
To think that just a day ago, this guy treated her as half an enemy!
Now, this guy didn't even seem to care as much about her forcing him to wear won's clothing.
At a ti like this, she should press on and solidify her towering image in Dragon Tang's mind.
Chatterbox Girl had told her that changing the fate of those unford urban legend, trapped and dood in Yun Pass, was absolutely impossible for her alone, but...
Chatterbox Girl also didn't say that with a few more people, it would be absolutely impossible, did she?
Even if it was truly impossible, being unfamiliar with the place, having a few more subordinates to command would be excellent.
As Lu Yibei thought, she looked at Dragon Tang, and indeed, she saw a hint of fervor in his eyes.
"Miss Shen, you an... you intentionally let them go?" Dragon Tang asked, eyes wide.
"Of course!" Lu Yibei nodded without changing her expression. "Their escape was entirely orchestrated by , and the ti I disappeared last night was to handle the follow-up matters."
"Hiss!" Dragon Tang gasped as if his teeth ached, and his expression suddenly beca serious.
He suddenly felt that the young woman beside him at this mont did not seem as simple as she claid, the daughter of a wealthy rchant.
Looking at this young woman, Dragon Tang had the sa feeling he had when he first t Hong Bian Monk.
They seed to [N O V E L I G H T] be of the sa kind, yet not entirely identical.
Hong Bian Monk gave him the feeling of an envoy sent by a deity; every action and word exuded an extraordinary and ethereal aura. While Shen Baiwei also had a similar aura, she simultaneously felt very approachable, like a peer from next door.
How to put it? Perhaps one could say she had a down-to-earth quality?
"Miss Shen..." Dragon Tang called out.
"Hm?" Lu Yibei tilted her head.
"Your true identity isn't that of a rchant's daughter from Jian Province, is it?" Dragon Tang asked abruptly.
Huh? Did I do anything suspicious or say anything I shouldn't have? Why did this kid suddenly get smart? Lu Yibei's heart skipped a beat.
She opened her mouth, just about to fob Dragon Tang off, when she heard Dragon Tang say, "A rchant's daughter couldn't know as much as you do."
"When I was in Xiaoxiang, won from prestigious families knew as much as you. You must be one too, right? Escaped from ho?"
"It's okay if you don't want to admit it, but after this war is over, can you teach ?"
So he wasn't suspicious after all? Lu Yibei breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly, "Of course I can teach you, but there's no need to wait until the war is over. I can teach you as soon as I have ti later."
Saying things like "wait until this war is over" is really bad luck. If you say that, you'll definitely die on the battlefield, you know? So if you want to learn, do it now... Lu Yibei added in her heart.

Hearing Lu Yibei's answer, Dragon Tang's face lit up with excitent, and he cupped his fists, saying, "Then I thank Miss Shen in advance."
----
On the other side.
Explosions from the Shaman King and First Generation Miracle Saint's battle occasionally echoed in the sky, bright light flickered, and the Spiritual Energy scattered in the air beca incredibly turbulent due to their fight.
The entire Yun Pass seed to suddenly transition from a cold, sunless winter to a muggy sumr, making people uncontrollably irritable.
In the dimly lit room, Void and Nanling Yaohua looked at Lu Yibei and Shen Baiwei, who lay on the ground, their breathing as faint as gossar, seemingly in a state of suspended animation. They remained silent for a long ti.
They didn't know what Lu Yibei had done to Shen Baiwei, only that Lu Yibei and Shen Baiwei exchanged glances, and then both convulsed violently as if electrocuted. A few seconds later, they both lost consciousness.
After a long while, Void finally couldn't help but ask, "What happened to them?"
Nanling Yaohua looked down at the plump little worm in her hand and shook her head. "I don't know, but that guy experienced this before, but she recovered quickly... it shouldn't be a big deal."
Hearing this, Void's head displayed a chin-resting thinking expression, and he asked with a solemn tone, "Miss Nanling, may I ask, how long is 'quickly' in your opinion? After all, they only have forty-eight hours."
Nanling Yaohua thought for a mont and said, "Last ti it was about half a day, I think? I'm not sure how long it will take this ti."
Void, "..."
Half a day? Is she really not joking?
In such an urgent situation, they might just sleep for a quarter of the ti, or even longer? What kind of'sleep when in doubt' behavior is that?
What's the difference between this and a two-hour exam where you enter the room and sleep for an hour before starting to write? This is going to be a big problem!
Just as Void was muttering to himself, Nanling Yaohua interrupted his thoughts, "Anyway, let's move them to the bed first, shall we? Leaving them lying on the ground isn't a solution."
After speaking, the image of Lu Yibei and Shen Baiwei sleeping on the sa bed flashed through her mind. She paused slightly, then imdiately added, "Qingyi can stay here. I'll take the Miss Shen to the next room; there's an empty bed there."
She always felt there was sothing strange between Lu Yibei and this woman of unknown origin, as if many secrets were hidden, which was already difficult for her to accept, let alone letting them share a bed.
"..." Void secretly glanced at Nanling Yaohua, seeing that her gaze had not shifted from Lu Yibei and there seed to be a hint of worry in her brows. It then jumped from her hand to the ground and nodded, "Don't worry, leave this to ! I absolutely won't let anything happen to her before you return."
After speaking, its body began to wriggle, and after a faint electric current sound, a cursor ford by Spiritual Energy appeared beside it.
Following its gaze, the cursor moved quickly, pulling out a translucent blue block around Lu Yibei.
Then...
Select target, right-click to open the nu bar, choose Properties—General—Hidden Files.
After a series of smooth operations, Lu Yibei's figure disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace of Spiritual Energy fluctuation.
After successfully hiding Lu Yibei, Void's head rotated 180 degrees, looking at Nanling Yaohua, with a smiling expression appearing on it, "How about it, isn't my move quite impressive?"
Nanling Yaohua, "..." It's indeed very impressive, but what I'm more concerned about is why Lu Yibei's "nu bar" has so many "Related Links"?
Although she didn't know the specific purpose of the so-called "Related Links," she vaguely sensed sothing from the prefix nas of those "Related Links."
After all, the prefix of the first "Related Link" was Lu Ming, the second was Jiang Li, and the Nanling Yaohua prefix only appeared at the seventh position, even after Bai Kai!
What's even more outrageous is that the remaining "Related Links" below were even more nurous, to the point where ellipses appeared.
Those ellipses must hide more than one "Related Link," right?
Nanling Yaohua, "..."
When she ca back, she would have to ask this little worm what those "Related Links" ant.
At least she had to figure out who Ju ng, Gu Qianqian, and Turtle Girl were, and why they appeared in Lu Yibei's "Related Links," Nanling Yaohua thought.
----
Void didn't know that it had inadvertently betrayed Lu Yibei and, by the way, helped her create the Prototype of a Shura field. In its opinion, hiding Lu Yibei's existence within its "program," or rather, its authority, was just a routine operation within its permission scope.
After Nanling Yaohua left, it curled up, sat cross-legged, and held a small mory stick snack it had pulled out from who knows where. It munched on it with "crunching" sounds while staring intently at Lu Yibei, who was wrapped in a swirling mass of "0s and 1s" and had entered a hidden state, quietly waiting.
Just then, a prompt box suddenly popped up in front of him.
【×Disaster occurred unknown error type】
Void, "???"
What the heck? What's going on? Why did Disaster suddenly "report an error"?
Just as it was pondering with a belly full of questions, preparing to check what went wrong, a golden yellow strong light suddenly burst forth from Lu Yibei's body.
Spiritual Energy fluctuations, imbued with the aura of Royalty, surged and spread in all directions.
A few seconds later, the golden strong light dissipated, and a young girl with chestnut-colored long hair and a vibrant red long scarf suddenly appeared in view, straddling Lu Yibei's waist, her hands pressed against her chest. She looked around with wide eyes, softly mumbling.
"Hehe! Finally got a chance to escape. Disaster probably didn't notice, right? I didn't expect what that little brat said was actually true, lucky! Next, it should be..."
The girl's words stopped abruptly halfway through.
She noticed the plump, white, worm-like Strange thing.
Their eyes t, and she seed to discern a wry, helpless expression in the worm's tiny, green-bean-sized eyes.
That look seed to be saying to her, "Disaster didn't notice? Are you sure?"
Following the worm's gaze, her eyes slowly moved downwards. The girl's face instantly turned pale, her body stiffened slightly, and then began to tremble.
Not only was her escape discovered by Disaster on the spot, but she was also straddling Disaster...
It's over, I'm going to be killed! Gu Qianqian thought in terror.
