Chapter 68: Failure at the Last Moment
Under the organization of the little boy, the disciples lined up in an orderly manner, entered the main hall one by one, and went forward one by one to identify the portrait hanging on the wall.
Because there was a penalty for failing the task, every player followed the task process respectfully, and did not dare to make any extra movements or any extra words.
[The leader of the kindergarten] walked up slowly and bowed to Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao pointed at the portrait and said, "Look at this person in the portrait, have you seen him recently?"
[The leader of the kindergarten] stared at the portrait, pretending to be thinking hard, and counted silently in his heart.
Five, four, three, two, one.
After counting to one, a confused look appeared on his face:
"I haven't seen him, never seen him."
Li Xiaoyao cast a questioning look at Leng Jiangqiu.
Leng Jiangqiu nodded slightly, and Li Xiaoyao ordered him to leave and let the next disciple come in.
As time passed, all the disciples came in with only one excuse, that is, "I haven't seen him."
Leng Jiangqiu didn't take it seriously at first, but later she felt something was wrong.
She found that all the words, tones, and movements of this group of Xiaoyao disciples were almost the same, as if they had been rehearsed.
She had doubts about Li Xiaoyao, and the uniform behavior of the Xiaoyao disciples increased her suspicion.
Another Xiaoyao disciple came in, with the same actions and the same words.
This time Leng Jiangqiu didn't let him leave immediately: "Wait, are you telling the truth? Are you lying?"
Leng Jiangqiu's words were cold and majestic, and he unconsciously used the spiritual power to force the disciple in front of him to tell the truth.
Li Xiaoyao saw this scene and felt quite disdainful. From the time he summoned this group of idiots to now, he had never seen these idiots afraid of anything.
Many players came in and went through the process before, but they didn't encounter the situation where the Saint NPC asked questions.
Therefore, many senior gamers concluded that once the Saint NPC spoke, it should be the beginning of the plot change, and players who encounter this situation are very likely to encounter the only extra task of this plot.
[Light pain in the balls] was originally an ordinary player of Hegemony. Just when he was strictly following the task process to complete the task, the Saint NPC who had been sitting next to Brother Xiaoyao actually spoke.
[Light pain in the balls] was very excited. He didn't expect that he would encounter this only extra task.
[Light pain in the balls] completely ignored Leng Jiangqiu's so-called "spiritual pressure", with a face full of excitement, he knelt on the ground in panic and began to say the lines: "I really haven't seen such a majestic figure. Even if I only saw a corner of his clothes, I will definitely remember it."
Li Xiaoyao saw this scene and shook his head helplessly.
Where is your expression management?
Where is the panic you promised?
Do you know that your expression and words are almost separated by nine layers of heaven!
Leng Jiangqiu was speechless. The Xiaoyao disciple in front of him was so excited under his spiritual pressure, and even said a sentence that was completely inconsistent with his expression.
Leng Jiangqiu looked at Li Xiaoyao with a questioning look.
Li Xiaoyao cursed in his heart, his face full of flattery:
"Fairy lady, I guarantee that everything my Xiaoyao disciples say is true, there is no possibility of deception."
"What's wrong with him?" Leng Jiangqiu pointed at [Light Pain] and asked, "Isn't he so excited because he doesn't know the whereabouts of Jiang Feng?"
Li Xiaoyao glanced at the melon-skinned disciple speechlessly, and hurriedly explained:
"It's not like that, it must be because you are too beautiful, with your status, you actually spoke to ordinary disciples like them in person, he looks so excited."
Leng Jiangqiu half believed and half doubted, always felt something was wrong.
[Light pain in the balls] also found that his previous performance seemed to be inconsistent with the task process, and hurriedly made amends:
"The Saint Lady is simply a fairy who has descended to the earth, emerging from the mud without being stained, washing in the clear water without being evil, the Saint Lady actually spoke to the villain, I am really honored, I want to thank you eight generations of ancestors. No, no, I thank you on behalf of eight generations of ancestors"
"Okay, stop talking!"
Leng Jiangqiu had a headache after hearing this. It was true that there were disciples of the same kind as the head of the sect, and they were all unreliable scoundrels.
[Light pain in the balls] left the hall with a sense of relief.
He was very uneasy in his heart. Could this be a failure of the task? Wouldn't I be revoked of my internal test qualification?
He fooled around for the time being, and the identification work continued.
In the subsequent identification, Leng Jiangqiu raised his questions from time to time, but found that these free and easy disciples did not reveal any flaws at all.
No one had ever seen Jiang Feng and knew Jiang Feng's whereabouts.
Leng Jiangqiu always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't produce any concrete evidence, and she was very proud of her spiritual pressure.
There would be no low-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage who could lie under her spiritual pressure.
Could it be that Jiang Feng's death really had nothing to do with the Xiaoyao Sect?
Did Li Xiaoyao actually get the spiritual stones he needed to build these buildings from another source?
Leng Jiangqiu was very upset. She came here from a long distance, but there was no clue at all.
However, there were few people near the Black Mountain, and after she didn't get any clues in the Xiaoyao Sect, she could only return to the Medicine Pavilion and report the truth to her master and the Pavilion Master.
Li Xiaoyao was relieved to see Leng Jiangqiu finally leaving, but a look of regret appeared on his face:
"Alas, it's all our fault. We didn't help the fairy at all. It's all our fault."
Leng Jiangqiu said coldly: "Don't worry, this matter will never harm the innocent. I will report the truth one by one when I go back."
Li Xiaoyao sent Leng Jiangqiu down the Black Mountain, with a reluctant look on his face: "Fairy, the journey is long, please take care of yourself."
Leng Jiangqiu's expression finally eased: "This is my communication token. If there is any clue about Jiang Feng, contact me as soon as possible. The medicine pavilion will reward you heavily!"
Li Xiaoyao couldn't wait for Leng Jiangqiu to leave, and then took the token, saying perfunctorily: "No problem, as long as I have clues about the murderer who killed Jiang Feng, I will definitely tell you as soon as possible. You can go without worry!"
Hearing this, Leng Jiangqiu, who had already summoned the Red Cloud Magical Instrument, suddenly turned his head, with a cold and disgusted look on his face.
Overwhelming fire spirit energy gushed out of her body: "You mean the murderer? When did I tell you that Jiang Feng was dead?!"
Li Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to slap himself. He just saw Leng Jiangqiu was leaving, so he naturally relaxed and accidentally let it slip.
He smiled bitterly and said, "It's all in one fell swoop, all in one fell swoop"
Leng Jiangqiu frowned and said coldly: "As expected, you are a participant. Tell me, who killed Jiang Feng! If you don't tell me, you will die!"
Li Xiaoyao smiled and shook his head: "I have tolerated you for a long time. You are worthy of being a fellow disciple. You are as arrogant as Jiang Feng who died in front of me."
