Chapter 1658 White-Eyed Wolf

"Fifteenth Prince, the Lord has assigned a mission. This time, you and I will carry it out together." Early the next morning.

Ruan Yu was awakened by An Shiliu's voice.

She managed to get a short nap late into the night, but fortunately, cultivators at her level no longer need sleep to replenish their energy.

Otherwise, she really would want to kill Dark Sixteen.

"I got the mission back for you right away, saving you the trouble of making the trip. How about that? Am I good to you?" As soon as Ruan Yu came out of the door, An Shiliu immediately stepped forward with the mission sheet to take credit.

Ruan Yu was already being lenient by not hitting him: "I just got back, how could he possibly assign me a mission?"

Don't think she doesn't know that members of the Dark Pavilion have a month or so of rest days after completing their missions.

It must have been that brat Dark Sixteen who did something.

"It seems you know the rules of the Dark Pavilion quite well." Dark Sixteen put away his joking face and said seriously, "It was indeed I who asked the Master to let you do missions with me."

"I won't do it." Ruan Yu turned to go back to her room.

Just kidding, she's not really Dark Fifteen, why would she work for the Dark Pavilion?

"Hey, don't rush off yet. I thought you'd be interested in this mission, so I took the liberty of asking you to come along." Dark Sixteen said in a flattering tone, "Good sister, just take a look at the mission sheet and decide whether you want to come with me."

“I promise, if you still don’t want to go after reading this, then I will go and beg the Lord to let me go alone.”

"..." Unable to resist Dark Sixteen's enthusiasm, Ruan Yu coldly accepted the task sheet and began to read it.

The first thing that catches the eye is the location.

The Beast Forest behind Qingyong City.

The mission is to find a secret treasure.

It wasn't specified what it was, but Ruan Yu knew it was probably the one she had her eye on.

Just when I was worried about not finding an excuse to enter the Beast Forest, someone brought me a pillow just as I was dozing off.

Ruan Yu's expression remained unchanged as she looked up and asked An Shiliu, "What is the secret treasure?"

"Doesn't your sister know either?" An Sixteen stared into Ruan Yu's eyes, as if trying to detect some subtle change.

but.

He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had spent the whole night pondering the matter and had thought that Ruan Yu had come for the treasure in the Beast Forest.

Did he think wrong?

"Should I know?" Ruan Yu countered. Her guess was right; Dark Sixteen was incredibly well-hidden, his scheming was profound!

Compared to An Jiu, she still prefers to be with An Jiu.

"Haha, it was my oversight. This must be my first time in Qingyong City, and I don't know much about the surrounding area." An Shiliu changed the subject. "We only officially started our mission on the second day after accepting it. Shall I take my sister for a tour of Qingyong City today?"

“I know a lot of delicious food.” Dark Sixteen blinked.

Ruan Yu was almost shocked to death.

Likes and dislikes...

"I'm not going." Ruan Yu would rather starve.

"My sister really broke my heart."

"Don't call me 'sister'." Ruan Yu was very annoyed by his address. Firstly, she didn't want to have too much contact with him. Secondly, they were still in the Dark Pavilion, and if someone with ulterior motives overheard, her identity would be exposed.

"Alright, then I'll still call you Fifteenth Sister," said Dark Sixteen. "But when we're alone, can I call you Sister?"

"Whatever." Ruan Yu was too lazy to continue talking to him, so she went inside and closed the door behind her.

The world is finally quiet.

The air has become much fresher.

An Shiliu smiled and walked out of the courtyard to meet up with the people outside. "Did you all hear that?"

“It seems what you said is true, she is not Dark Fifteen.” Dark Eight and Dark Four exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of excitement in each other’s eyes.

The three of them walked a little further away.

"Dark Sixteen, you're such an ingrate! You yourself said she saved you twice, but you turned around and told us her secret," Dark Eight teased.

An Si chimed in, "It's not like An Shiliu hasn't been like this for the first time. He's the one who loves to betray people the most in the entire An Pavilion."

"Enough with the nonsense." Dark Sixteen didn't want to continue the topic, his voice several degrees colder: "Have you thought through the plan I mentioned?"

“We agree,” said An Si.

"After all, this plan will be entirely beneficial to us once it's completed." Dark Eight's smile was particularly glaring. "But what are you, Dark Sixteen, after?"

"Aren't you afraid that she'll look at you with disappointment when she finds out the truth?"

Dark Sixteen was naturally unafraid; if she were, she wouldn't have done this: "Disappointed? Just some insignificant person. Does she really think that saving me will make me grateful?"

He scoffed.

So naive!

"Let's do it your way. See you tomorrow." The three parted ways.

At this moment, Ruan Yu was drawing talismans in her spatial dimension. Completely unaware that she had been tricked.

evening.

The shadow returned; after staring at the horizon all day, its eyes were incredibly tired.

"Did you find anything unusual?" Ruan Yu had just finished drawing the last talisman and came out of the space.

“No.” Shadow shook his head. “He has been cultivating in his room the whole time, without leaving for a moment.”

Not leaving for even a moment?

Ruan Yu found it strange. An Shiliu had come to see her this morning, so how could he not have left the room?

"Are you sure he hasn't left your side at all? This morning too?"

Shadow: "Yes, I never closed my eyes. He really stayed in the room the whole time."

“We’ve been discovered,” Ruan Yu said.

"Huh?" Shadow scratched his head in confusion.

“He came to see me this morning,” Ruan Yu recounted what had happened that morning.

The shadow cursed, "Damn it! What was that thing I was staring at? His clone?"

"Most likely."

"Now that I've been discovered, should I continue to keep an eye on them?"

“Keep watching, but don’t arouse his suspicion.” After careful consideration, Ruan Yu said, “He probably only noticed that you were spying on him, but he doesn’t know that I sent you.”

Otherwise, they wouldn't have come looking for me.

Dark Sixteen probably believed that Shadow was sent by Dark Nine to keep watch.

Let this misunderstanding continue!

"Okay." The shadow nodded and went away.

The sky was clear and blue during the day, but a light drizzle began to fall in the evening.

The weather has also turned cooler.

While researching elixirs, An Jiu didn't forget to cook himself a bowl of ginger soup.

Even though he wasn't cold, who could refuse a bowl of hot ginger soup at a time like this?

"Want to chat?" A figure appeared silently outside the kitchen window.

Just then, a flash of lightning illuminated the pitch-black night.

An Jiu's expression froze, and the spoon in her hand fell to the ground.

It took him a long time to calm down before he angrily said, "Do you know that people can scare each other to death?"
