In an abandoned courtyard of Luoxia Water Village, Duan Lingping looked ugly, with a layer of fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. He was obviously very panicked.
Hong Lian chuckled, "Yan Jun, you got into a big trouble this time. You actually lost the leader's Red Thread Acacia Gu."
"Duan Lingping", known as Yan Jun, gave her a cold look.
"Can you be more precise in what you say? Zi Gu has not been lost, I just don't know who it is."
"Ah."
Honglian's snort was full of ridicule. She looked at her nails that had just been painted with bright red cinnamon and said leisurely:
"There is no difference between this and losing it. As long as it is not planted on Jiang Fuli, it is considered a waste."
"It's not easy to cultivate Red Thread Acacia Gu. Have you figured out how to interact with the leader?"
Qianmian Yanjun couldn't help but tremble when he mentioned the leader.
He raised his hand and glanced at his wrist. A red line was looming, "The mother Gu is on me. I will feel it when the host of the child Gu appears."
"When the time comes, just kill that person and get the Zi Gu back."
"Then you have to hurry up," Honglian seemed to remind her kindly, "tomorrow is the last day for the competition to recruit a bride."
Qianmian Yanjun clenched his fists, "Of course I know."
It's a pity that the poisoned person didn't know where he ran away. The sub-gu of the red thread lovesickness Gu should still be in Luoxia Water Village.
But he traveled all over the water village and couldn't sense Zi Gu.
Although Qianmian Yanjun said he was confident, he was actually quite panicked. He even thought, wouldn't this Gu fall into the Xia River and be washed away?
He held a trace of luck in his heart, hoping to get Zi Gu back.
But if he really can't be found, someone has to share the leader's anger with him.
He said to Honglian: "The leader has given this task to you and me. If I fail, you can't forgive me."
Honglian's eyes narrowed slightly and her voice became colder, "What, are you threatening me?"
Qianmian Yanjun sneered, "I'm just reminding you that you should put in some effort. You can't afford a second failure."
Honglian bit her lip. The last time she intercepted the Hanquan jade fetus, she made a mistake and underestimated Xie Lanyi and others.
If it weren't for the leader...she wouldn't have been punished, but would have had this opportunity to atone for her sins.
She really couldn't afford to fail this time.

On the last day of the martial arts competition, the candidates for the ten champions have almost been determined. There are a total of five NPCs and five players.
Qin Qinghong said: "Brother Lu, why don't you come up to the stage? If you don't go up, this competition will be over."
The person he called Brother Lu was Lu Qingbai. He said calmly: "There's no rush."
Seeing that he looked confident, Qin Qinghong raised his eyebrows slightly. This capitalist was very clever, and he must have prepared a backup plan.
He joked: "But there are many players who have bet on you. If you don't even show up until the competition is over, do you believe there will be many people chasing you?"
Players are keen to collect information about NPCs. It is not a secret that Jiang Furui and Jiang Honghe, mother and daughter, like beauties.
Although Lu Qingbai's military prowess is not outstanding, his advantage lies in his handsome face, so there are still many players who choose him to bet on him, hoping to make a big profit.
Lu Qingbai smiled meaningfully, "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements."
Qin Qinghong looked sideways, and as he expected, this black-hearted capitalist must have used some shady means.
"Speaking of which, why don't you participate in this event?" Lu Qingbai asked.
Since he has arrived at Luoxia Water Village and meets the level requirements, why doesn't Qin Qinghong participate in the competition to recruit a bride?
With his strength, he will not be at a disadvantage even against NPCs, and it can be said that it is easy to obtain a championship position.
Coupled with this face, there might be a chance of being selected by the NPC, marrying into the Luoxia Water Village, and reaching the pinnacle of swimming.
But Qin Qinghong didn't want such a generous reward. Lu Qingbai asked, "Why, isn't it a peerless treasure chest?"
It's not that the peerless treasure chest isn't fragrant, but if Qin Qinghong participates, he will probably never have to appear in front of Xie Lanyi in the future.
This is more than just a game to him.
Qin Qinghong smiled slightly proudly and said, "You don't understand."
He already has a sweetheart, and there is no need to participate in martial arts competitions to find a wife.
Seeing his smiling face, Lu Qingbai frowned slightly, why he suddenly smiled so disgustingly.
The two were hating each other when suddenly the players around them started to commotion.
The crowd automatically retreated to both sides to make a way, and a man in Tsing Yi wearing a curtain hat walked over.
The visitor was naturally Xie Lanyi. He looked at Qin Qinghong and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Qin Qinghong walked over and said warmly: "I met a friend. Come over and say a few words."
Xie Lanyi nodded and glanced at Lu Qingbai through the veil. He looked familiar, as if he was Qin Qinghong's boss.
Qin Qinghong calmly turned sideways to block his view, without even the slightest thought of introducing his friend.
"Master, let's go, the competition for marriage is about to end."
Xie Lanyi didn't think it was anything, nodded, and led him back to the stands.
The onlookers were stunned for a moment. Can the NPC in the game take the initiative to come looking for someone? As if afraid of losing it.
No matter how high the degree of favorability is to achieve, they also want to experience it.
Lu Qingbai looked at their leaving figures with a subtle expression.
No wonder it hasn't been premiered much recently. It turns out that I'm addicted to the NPCs in the game, and I don't even want to take another look at it.
But this is fine. When virtual reality is introduced into the open test, Xie Lanyi, the most popular NPC in the game, will definitely generate huge popularity.
Seeing that the time for the competition to recruit a bride was about to end in a quarter of an hour, Lu Qingbai no longer hesitated and flew onto the stage to attack.
He chose the highest-level NPC among the challengers, Liu Sanqin, the leader of the Tiger and Crane Sect.
The players in the audience were in an uproar, "Why can't you think about it? See if you can win. You can lose, but my money can't be wasted."
"Isn't this brother overestimating his abilities? He is only level 45, and there is a 10-level gap between him and Liu Sanqin. He will definitely lose."
"Why do I feel that this Brother Lu looks familiar? I seem to have seen him somewhere. His name is also familiar. He can't be a celebrity."
……
The players were talking a lot, but Lu Qingbai didn't care at all. He took out the judge's pen and started to compete with Liu Sanqin.
The two of them were fighting back and forth. Lu Qingbai felt that it was almost done and winked at Liu Sanqin.
Liu Sanqin understood what he was doing and used too much force. Not only did he not hit Lu Qingbai, but he was knocked away by Lu Qingbai with a two-thousand-jin move. He fell off the ring first.
Liu Sanqin fell to the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood, covering his chest and coughing twice.
His expression was very unwilling, and he pointed at Lu Qingbai and said bitterly: "Liu was careless, otherwise he would not have lost to you."
Players:…
I want to report the two of them for match-fixing!
This Zongzhu Liu, your acting skills can't be any worse, even a blind person can see that you are acting.
Don't think that if you spit out blood, they will believe it.
At this moment, the gong that ended the competition sounded, and it was a fact that Lu Qingbai became one of the champions. No matter how excited the players were, they could not change the outcome.
Jiang Honghe frowned slightly and looked at Lu Qingbai with dissatisfaction in her eyes. She had grown really handsome, but it was a pity that the method she used was disgraceful and not worthy of her Fu'er.
Lu Qingbai naturally knew that he and Liu Sanqin were cheating and could not hide it from the great master Jiang Honghe, so he did not even think about covering it up.
He just needs to get the reward of the peerless treasure chest.
Liu Sanqin's appearance is not good. Even if he becomes the champion, he will never be chosen. He knows this.
So when Lu Qingbai approached him, Liu Sanqin readily agreed to the deal.
As long as he gives up the title of champion to Lu Qingbai at the last moment, he can receive 10,000 taels of sect development funds sponsored by Jinlin Trading Company.
They both get what they need, so why not.
Qin Qinghong in the stands said to himself: This old man.
But he actually also bet on Lu Qingbai. Thanks to Lu Qingbai, he should be able to make a lot of money and buy gifts for his poster.
