I became a master of alchemy by picking up trash

Chapter 289 Decoy
When the morning sun rose, Li Xing returned to the Chu family.Turning around the corridor, a gray figure suddenly appeared in front of Li Xing.

"Senior Chu, I'm sorry to bother you."

Chu Hui bowed slightly and said in a respectful tone: "Don't dare to take credit for things that are part of your duty."

Li Xing looked at the window in the middle of the second floor opposite, which was Chu Yunyi's living room.

"Is there anything strange?"

Chu Hui shook his head: "Wudingsi has no signs of being touched."

Li Xing nodded slightly: "That's good. Senior Chu, please go back. You left the tower without reporting. If Elder Ji finds out, I'm afraid there will be some criticism."

"It doesn't matter, I lost a pair of tricks for the Tower of Babel, Ji Jingtang will give me some favors. If you can use me next time, just give me your orders!"

"I won't leave again in the near future. Chu... ahem, I will protect your brother's safety. Senior only needs to complete the tasks I asked you before."

Chu Hui agreed and turned to leave, but after walking a few steps, he turned around again and looked at Li Xing sadly with his white eyes.

"Senior, is there anything else?"

"Yun Yi...is it really hopeless?"

Li Xing looked regretful and shook his head: "There is nothing I can do."

In the room on the second floor, Chu Yunyi sat in front of the window and looked at Chu Hui's retreating figure, with no sadness or joy on his face.Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"come in."

Li Xing walked into the room and was surprised to see a wine glass in front of Chu Yunyi with a little residual wine in it.

"Brother, you are so excited. Did you drink it so early?"

Chu Yunyi was a little embarrassed and quickly removed the wine glass, letting the breeze blow away the remaining alcohol odor.

"I didn't sleep well last night. I had a drink to help me sleep. I didn't have time to clean it up."

Li Xing scanned the back bedroom with his consciousness and found that the sheets were so smooth that there were no wrinkles at all. He understood instantly.There was no time to clean up, he clearly sat there all night.

Li Xing took out the coffee from the cabinet and brewed a cup for Chu Yunyi in a familiar manner.The hot drink with rich burnt aroma brings some warmth to this cold morning.

"Brother, drinking will only make your headache worse. Coffee is more suitable for you."

Chu Yunyi smiled, took a sip of coffee, and his pale lips finally gained some color.

Li Xing looked down at the corridor where she had just talked with Chu Hui. "Brother already knows that I asked my ninth uncle to protect you secretly?"

Chu Yunyi nodded: "Ninth Uncle Ancestor's Wudingsi is similar to the relief formation of Babel Tower. If someone with malicious intentions approaches, he will be immediately attacked. You asked him to surround my small building because you are afraid that Mingzhen sneak attack?"

"Mingzhen's concealment skills are top-notch, and even you can't easily capture his movements. You are his favorite now. If I don't protect you, I can't leave home with confidence."

Chu Yunyi lowered his eyes, looked at the hot air rising in the cup with his purple eyes, and said slowly: "It takes a lot of mental energy to use the Wudingsi once. Even if it is as powerful as the ninth uncle, it cannot be used for a long time. Besides, I You can’t always hide and not show up.”

Li Xing shrugged: "I just asked him to save you in an emergency. With me here, you don't need Wuding wire. I will be your bodyguard."

"Is it possible that you have to follow me from now on? I have nothing to do, but what about you? How long can you last with 24-hour vigilance?" Chu Yunyi's purple eyes flashed, and he shook his head in disapproval: "Yun You, guard against thieves for a thousand days. Not a good idea.”

Chu Yunyi was right. They were in the light and the other side was in the dark. They were already at a disadvantage. They had to keep their nerves tight to be on guard against the other side's attacks. I'm afraid Li Xing would collapse from exhaustion without Mingzhen taking action.

Li Xing's eyes darkened, and he pondered for a long time before slowly speaking: "If you don't want to guard against thieves for a thousand days, then you have to lure the snake out of the hole."

Chu Yunyi asked eagerly: "How to lead?"

Li Xing looked at him, her mind drifting away unknowingly. She had caught a glimpse of him with his lowered eyes and smile under the moon shadow tree, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to see him again in the future.

Li Xing closed his eyes, tried to dispel the distracting thoughts, and said firmly: "I'll use you as bait."

Chu Yunyi's face paled for a moment, and then nodded calmly: "I understand. What do you want to do?"

Li Xing: "After I returned to the Chu family, I held so many banquets with the purpose of finding people who might be Mingzhen. But after so many days, I have basically met all the nobles and celebrities, but I have not been there. Everyone feels a familiar aura."

"I think there are two possibilities for this. Either Mingzhen's disguise is so perfect that even my consciousness cannot feel the difference from normal people, or he himself did not attend the banquet at all."

Chu Yunyi listened quietly, his focused and serious eyes never leaving Li Xing.

Li Xing: "Ming Zhen has to change his body every once in a while. Naturally, he takes the initiative to change his identity in order to corrode the Qianyuan people. But I think the more important thing is that Ming Zhen's human skin may be used At some point problems will occur and he will have to replace them.”

Chu Yunyi nodded: "It makes sense."

"According to what Xue Han said, Mingzhen has been waiting for the opportunity to parasitize you. Based on this assumption, he has used his current body for at least 20 years. I don't know how long a skin bag can be used, even if it is not rotten and broken. , there will also be some strange aura, with my current strength of consciousness, there is no reason why I can’t detect it.”

Chu Yunyi narrowed his purple eyes and said quietly: "He didn't come."

"Well, that's what I thought too." Li Xing clicked on his light brain, and a short list was sent to Chu Yunyi.

"I asked Butler Lu to compare the invitation list sent by the Chu family with the list of people who actually attended the banquet. I found that sixteen people had received invitations multiple times, but had never attended a single banquet."

"I checked their backgrounds, and they all have good relations with the Chu family and have a lot of business dealings. Even if they have no friendship with me, they will come here for the sake of the Chu family. It's understandable if something happens once, but if they shirk it again and again, they will let it go. People can’t figure it out.”

"So I speculate that Ming Zhen's current identity must be hidden among these sixteen people."

Chu Yunyi's eyes stayed on the list, and his purple eyes reflected the light of the optical brain screen, making him look even more enchanting:
"If they don't come, we can go look for them ourselves. Tomorrow I will accompany you to visit them one by one to see if they are humans or ghosts."

Li Xing secretly clenched his fists and said, "Brother, you must go, but you can't appear in front of Ming Zhen in this state, it's useless."

"We are anxious to take off Ming Zhen's vest, but his idea is exactly the opposite of ours. It would be great if he could hide for a little longer. He is plotting against us secretly. It is best to consume all our energy so that he can fight. Effortless.”

"We take the initiative. If we can find something unusual about him, that's fine. I'm afraid we still haven't found any clues, but we have aroused his vigilance. It will be impossible to lure the snake out of the hole."

"Besides, Henzhen's mansion is no different from a three-eyed insect nest. It's too dangerous to visit him. We'd better create a chance encounter with him."

Chu Yunyi: "How can I cooperate with you?"

"I want you to become a shining golden spirit-feeding pill!"
