Chapter 23 The smile fades away

Ancient Yuan Sect, the main hall of the sect.

Han Yuntian smiled and looked at Zhu Ruo and the other two in front of him, with some expectation in his tone, and asked: "Have you discovered anything special during your time in Baihu Town?"

It's true that this is the reason!

Zhu Ruo was a little panicked, afraid that Han Yuntian would see something abnormal, so he pretended to be nervous and lowered his head without saying a word.

The other four looked at each other, shook their heads, and said embarrassedly: "We haven't encountered anything special."

Han Yuntian frowned slightly and said calmly: "Don't worry, you can think about it carefully."

The four of them looked a little embarrassed. They really couldn't remember anything special.

Zhu Ruo's heart beat faster and he tried hard to calm down his breath.

Han Yuntian glanced at her casually, and with his profound realm, he could naturally notice the girl's nervousness and panic. However, he didn't care, just thought that the girl was a little cramped in front of him. After all, the difference between the two identities and status is so big, it is normal for her to be nervous.

At this time, a man said helplessly: "What I really want to say is the Red Archway incident that happened yesterday."

Han Yuntian was a little disappointed when he heard this. The big incident of Red Pailou had long been exposed. Everyone else must have known the clues they could get in it.

However, according to their investigation, no useful information was obtained from it.

At this moment, one of them suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "By the way, the sect leader, I remember that there is another thing."

Han Yuntian was excited and asked, "What?"

He hurriedly said: "Yesterday, a player in Baihu Town was killing chickens and various beasts."

When Zhu Ruo heard this, she was stunned at first, and then her heart trembled suddenly.

Yes, why did Lu Qing kill a chicken? What kind of mystery is hidden in this?

She now has completely brainless trust in Lu Qing. Even if Lu Qing says he is a scumbag with no cultivation, she... she doesn't believe it!

So, why don’t she try to kill a chicken later?

No, no, no! She must first seek his consent, otherwise she will definitely be disgusted.

Zhu Ruo was thinking about it all, but Han Yuntian's face showed disappointment.

Killing a chicken? What's the point of caring about this?

Anyone with a normal mind would not think that killing a chicken would have anything to do with the Battle of Baihu.

So he waved his hand and said helplessly: "I understand, you guys go back first."

"Yes!" In front of Han Yuntian, the five people were under too much pressure. They felt relieved when they heard this, and they left the sect hall as if they were escaping.

...

The mysterious world.

Lu Qing stood in the woods outside Baihu Town, looking at the players searching for clues, frowned slightly.

Is this the price of becoming a star? It's really annoying.

Although his face was full of "hiddenness" and his identity would not be revealed, if he was discovered by these people, it would be difficult for him to escape.

He thought about it, took off the "invisible", then walked out of the woods as if nothing had happened, and walked into Baihu Town swaggeringly.

Sure enough, no one noticed him, at most a few little sisters secretly glanced at him.

Lu Qing came to the familiar pharmacy and was still defeated without anyone's interest. Bai Cangshui sat behind the counter and dozed.

After hearing Lu Qing's footsteps, he raised his head in a daze, looked at the door, and then woke up suddenly, stood up swayingly, and said happily: "Young Master Lu in Qing Dynasty!"

"Mr. Bai." Lu Qing smiled friendly at him and said, "I came here this time to tell you that I have found the murderer who slaughtered your poultry."

"Ah?" Bai Cangshui was slightly stunned at first, then overjoyed, then furiously, and finally said fiercely: "Which beast is it!"

"Uh..." Lu Qing was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and said weakly: "I am the murderer."

"What?" Bai Cangshui was stunned. He wondered if he was too old and his ears were broken. He couldn't help asking again: "Who did you say it is?"

Lu Qing thought about it, worried that he would hurt people if he didn't give him the opportunity to explain, so he said, "Let's do this, listen to me first."

"I have a friend..." Next, he began with Bing Ling's layout in Baihu and told the whole process of setting up a plan to kill Qiongji.

Bai Cangshui heard it with relish, as if he was listening to a storyteller. After Lu Qing finished speaking, he still asked with some unsatisfactory questions: "Oh?"

"..." Lu Qing smiled and said, "Then my friend returned to Heishui Town, came to the pharmacy, and told the story."

"Hmm?" Bai Cangshui was stunned for three seconds, suddenly reacted and said in disbelief: "The friend you are talking about is actually you! And Hei Shui Town is actually Baihu Town?"

Lu Qing nodded.

Bai Cangshui was a little confused in his mind, and he sorted out his thoughts and said in shock: "So that's it, so that's it! I'll tell you why there are people who slaughter poultry for no reason, so that's it!"

Lu Qing said in surprise: "You believe it now?"

"I believe it." Bai Cangshui laughed and said, "The vision of the Red Pail Tower and the fierce battle in Baihu Lake have spread throughout Baihu Town for a long time, which is exactly in line with what you said."

[Ding! Complete the task: Investigate the culprit of slaughtering animals. Receive reward: Experience value 2000, copper coins 2000]

"I didn't expect that Young Hero, you can have such courage and strength at a young age." Bai Cangshui was deeply moved, then looked up straight and said, "This shocking feat of saving our Baihu Town must be known to everyone!"

"Young hero, there is no need to be modest!" Bai Cangshui walked out of the pharmacy without giving Lu Qing the opportunity to refuse.

Soon, a series of crisp and pleasant system prompt sounds sounded in Lu Qing's ears.

[Ding! Complete Butcher Zhang's commission: investigate the culprit of massacre of animals. Receive reward: experience value 2000, copper coins 2000]

[Ding! Complete Tailor Li's commission: investigate the culprit of massacre of animals. Receive reward: Experience value 2000, copper coins 2000]

...

The prompt sound rang 27 times in a row, and a total of 28 investigation tasks were completed. A smile gradually appeared on Lu Qing's face.

【You have upgraded. Current level: 8】

【You have upgraded. Current level: 9】

【You have upgraded. Current level: 10】

【Ding! Character level has reached the upper limit】

The smile on Lu Qing's face gradually disappeared. It was really depressing to look at the experience value that was far more than 5 times the level 10 experience, but it could not be upgraded.

The only thing that is thankful is that although his level is stuck, his experience value can still be saved instead of being lost in vain.

[Ding! Save Baihu Town, get gratitude from the townspeople, reputation value 300. Current reputation value: 450]

Lu Qing looked at the system panel and was only 50 points away from the next stage of 500 reputation.

He looked at the time again, and there was still a long time before the five-hour period agreed with Bing Ling.

The character level cannot be improved, and the experience feedback rate is one in ten thousand, which makes him have no motivation to gain experience in monster hunting.

He thought for a while and said to himself: "Let's go find a mission, as no one grabs the mission now."

The number of advanced tasks such as golden missions and adventure missions is extremely rare. Not only do you have to be lucky enough to encounter them, but you also have to rely on your strength to compete with other players.

However, for Lu Qing, these tasks can be picked up completely for free now.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had questions about the golden mission in Qingyu Valley. Is this golden mission a bit too simple?
Chapter completed!
