Fairy, please let me explain.

Chapter 620 Misunderstanding
"It's natural."

This time, the resolute young man named Cangbei did not hesitate and saluted Xu Yuan solemnly:
"Can you lend me some pen and ink? I will help you draw the location of the princess."

Mapping?

Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Of course you can, but why do you need to map it out instead of just taking me there directly?"

Cang Bei raised his eyes to look at the sky, but he was not looking at the stars in the vast black night, but the formation covering the entire Zhenxi City below. He whispered:
"My lord, I'm afraid that the fact that you sent someone to shout in the evening has attracted some people's attention. The defense level in the city has been raised a lot tonight."

Saying,

Cangbei reached into his bosom and pulled out a black token with the word "West" engraved on it:
"And this order can only protect one person under the formation."

It is difficult to guard against human hearts, and only the preset formations will always perform their duties.

Xu Yuan stared at the token for a few breaths, then suddenly glanced at Zhou Chen.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen quickly took out a similar token from his arms and said with a thick smile:
"Sir, after being transferred to Zhenxi City, I have done some practical things. This order is..."

"okay."

If work is not seen by those above, it is the same as not being done, and this week Grandmaster really wants to improve.

Xu Yuan smiled and interrupted the other party's attempt to take credit, and looked at Cang Bei beside him.

Although Cang Bei was a general in the army, he was well versed in the ways of the world. With a trace of self-deprecating sadness in his eyes, he whispered:

"This gentleman is holding the token of General Qu of Zhenxi Prefecture. It has great limitations. With the city's defense level tonight, the possibility of being exposed is very high. We cannot take the risk."

Cangbei’s meaning is very clear.

He followed Zhou Chen and took the risk of being exposed, but he must not bring the danger back to the princess.

Xu Yuan understood in his heart, and as he turned and walked into the hall, he whispered:

"Yes, at this critical period, any disturbance will attract attention. Come in with me."

The hall was brightly lit and filled with the faint scent of incense. An elegant young girl in palace dress suddenly came into view behind a desk.

The girl lazily leaned back in the soft chair, one hand resting her chin on the armrest, and the other hand reading a book.

She has a very charming temperament, but her figure is not so charming.

Seeing the three people coming in, Tian Ye slightly lowered the book in front of his face, revealing his beautiful golden eyes. He glanced at the few people, then ignored them and continued reading.

Walking to the table, Xu Yuan glanced at the evil woman.

The place where the two of them were was the headquarters of the Black Scale Guards in Zhenxi Prefecture, which contained a lot of confidential documents. Out of boredom, Tian Ye had been reading the files here for the entire afternoon.

She came from 20,000 years ago and needs to understand every aspect of the present era.

Taking out the pen and ink from the Xumi Ring and placing them on the table, Xu Yuan whispered to Cang Bei who was standing behind him:
"Thank you."

"."

The swift and decisive action of the military made Cangbei not waste any time. He picked up the wolf-hair brush and began to paint on the rice paper.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Yuan glanced at Tian Ye, frowned and said:

"Why don't you cover your face?"

"Didn't you notice that these two people can't see me?"

"."

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked back at the other two people in the room, only to see that Zhou Chen and the other two were just as Tian Ye said, and had not noticed the presence of a fourth person in the room at all.

Tian Ye snorted and put the book on the desk, then smiled calmly:

"She has concealed her aura with the mantra of 'Hide' in advance. I will go with you to meet the Princess Li Junwu later?"

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes and snorted:

"You should know the power of the city defense formation."

Without the burning of his life, no matter how powerful Tian Ye is, he will eventually be limited by Tian Yan's cultivation. However, the perception module of the city defense formation of a border town like Zhenxi Prefecture is comparable to that of a saint.

With the Yu Shu Ring protecting him, Tian Ye had better not take any risks, but if the witch would be obedient, she would not be called a witch.

Thinking in his heart, Xu Yuan sighed:
"But if I tell you not to go, you won't go?"

Hearing this,

Tian Ye hummed twice with a slightly dissatisfied tone:
"Tsk tsk. You look down on me now that you have the Yushu Ring. You are a fickle guy."

As she spoke, she suddenly smiled with a hint of sarcasm in her tone:
"Besides, you don't want Tian Yan to see your relationship with that princess, right?"

After she finished speaking, the girl giggled twice, and without giving Xu Yuan a chance to refute, she picked up the book to cover her face.

Xu Yuan wanted to say something, but Cangbei had already drawn the map.

The moon is dim and the stars are high in the sky.

Li Junwu's hiding place was not too far from the yard where Xu Yuan was. The straight-line distance was only about four or five miles. Even if he had to take a detour due to the checkpoint, it was only seven or eight miles.

With Xu Yuan's normal speed, it would only take half an incense stick of time. However, due to the strict curfew and night patrols in Zhenxi Prefecture, it took Xu Yuan a full quarter of an hour to reach the inn marked on the map.

The long street was empty, doors were closed, and moonlight was shining, making it look like a ghost street.

Standing alone in front of the inn, Xu Yuan raised his eyes for a moment to confirm that the name was correct, then he used his source energy to pry open the locked wooden door and walked in.

Due to the curfew policy, except for those elegant inns and brothels with a big background, when it is close to Hai time, the taverns and inns that entertain guests have to clear the lobby and force everyone to return to their rooms.

Glancing around, from Xu Yuan's point of view, the inn where his good-chested brother lived was really shabby.

The hall was dark and quiet. The smell of crude alcohol and food residue mixed with the sweat of the merchants filled the air, making it smell very unpleasant.

This should be an inn for mortal merchants.

The interior layout is somewhat similar to the Tongfu Inn that Xu Yuan had seen in his previous life.

Xu Yuan was a little surprised that Li Junwu chose to hide in such a place.

Although it is said that the great hide in the city, that is a world without the extraordinary. In such a place where mortals live, cultivators have no scruples. A strong person can find you out with a glance. On the contrary, the places where cultivators gather are relatively safer. Large brothels have formations to isolate the sound and avoid the soul. Secondly, there may be iron plates hidden in the world that make those people afraid to use their souls to explore directly.

Confused, Xu Yuan leaped over the wooden ladder and reached the second floor.

The second floor was not very big, with a corridor and more than a dozen guest rooms on both sides of the corridor. Lights were still on in some of the rooms, and the light could be seen through the oil paper pasted on the wooden doors.

Just as Xu Yuan was about to take a step forward, a low singing voice came from the crack of the door of a lighted guest room next door.

There was a strange flash in his eyes, and Xu Yuan casually glanced at the guest room lit by oil lamps.

then,

He saw four or five figures through the crack in the door.

Four men and one woman.

Judging from the clothes scattered on the ground, these five people seemed to still respect the woman.

Because women's clothes are made of silk, while men's clothes are made of coarse linen.

"Ah"

Chuckling and shaking his head, Xu Yuan took a quick glance and then withdrew his gaze, walking directly towards the guest residence that Cangbei mentioned deep in the corridor.

Mortals who do business basically have to keep their heads on the line, not to mention that this is the border of Dayan, and they may end up dead on the street any day. Of course, they have to enjoy themselves while they can, and worldly etiquette cannot restrain them at all.

After traveling for so long, I'm no longer surprised by this.

While thinking about this, Xu Yuan had already arrived at the door of a guest room.

The wooden door of this room was tightly closed, with no gap between the doors, and no light came through the oiled paper on the doors and windows. It seemed that the guests inside were already resting.

Thanks to his powerful hearing, Xu Yuan was able to hear the heartbeat of the guests in the room, but he inexplicably sensed something strange.

After a moment of contemplation,
In the plain and dark corridor, Xu Yuan glanced sideways at the next room.

Yes.

The heartbeat in this room is exactly the same as in the next room.

The synchronization is like a one-to-one replica.

Li Junwu's magic?

No wonder this guy lives here, he really has something special.

Thinking in his mind, Xu Yuan casually took out a dagger with a blade as thin as a cicada's wing from the Sumeru Ring and inserted it into the gatehouse. He pried it upwards and opened the door panel of the inner door.

"Squeaky-"

Pushing open the door and looking at the scene inside, Xu Yuan curled the corners of his lips slightly.

Sure enough, unlike the darkness just seen, the oil lamp on the table in the room was on, emitting a bright flame.

The interior layout was pretty much what Xu Yuan had imagined.

A wooden bed with a gauze curtain, two chairs, a wardrobe, an oil lamp, a kettle and porcelain cups placed on the table. It is simple but complete.

but,

Xu Yuan didn't see Li Junwu.

Subconsciously glancing at the wooden bed with the curtains closed, Xu Yuan used his spiritual vision and took a slow step towards the room with a faint smile.

The moment he stepped into the room,
"Pfft!"

In the silence of the night,
"Om-"

A sword chant echoed in the guest room, but it was still quiet outside. A long sword suddenly broke through the oil paper on the wooden door and stabbed straight towards Xu Yuan's head!
"."Xu Yuan.

In this moment,

A hurricane quietly lifted Xu Yuan's untied black hair, and the fluorescence on the blade disappeared instantly.

With two fingers stuck on the suddenly thrusting sword, Xu Yuan glanced at the figure hidden behind the wooden door with some amusement:
"No, we haven't seen each other for such a long time, why are you making such a fuss when you meet?"

"Jia Yi!"

Li Junwu's familiar voice rang out: "Get started, we've been tricked, get ready to escape!"

The words fell,

A terrifying aura of desolation enveloped Xu Yuan. In this aura, he vaguely saw a pair of wolf eyes flashing with a cold light.

Desert Wolf.

"."Xu Yuan.

After a brief moment of daze, Xu Yuan suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Damn, he was wearing a human skin mask.

The thought flashed through his mind in an instant, and Xu Yuan had no time to think more.

Step on the void and kill!
The figure disappeared instantly and appeared again. Xu Yuan had briefly escaped the lock of the breath from the Linlang, and his figure came behind Li Junwu.

Li Junwu seemed to have sensed this as well. His pupils shrank suddenly. He turned around and kicked towards Xu Yuan with a whip-like kick. With a sound of breaking through the air, it left a trail of afterimage in the air.

A bloody light flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes, and a bloody aura appeared on his palm. He grabbed Li Junwu's ankle, turned sideways and pulled back with force.

In an instant, Li Junwu lost his balance and stumbled forward, with his pair of naked, slender legs stretched out in a split in the air.

Li Junwu bit his lip, looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him, and swung his sword-holding hand horizontally, but was grabbed by the wrist by the man in front of him.

Staring closely at the beautiful face of this good-looking brother gritting his teeth, Xu Yuan had a hint of amusement in his eyes, and switched to his original voice, saying with a smile:

"No, sister, it's been such a long time since we last met, how could you not recognize me?"
