Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Understood...Senior Brother, thank you very much. I will do it now!"

Xia Ji Balang saluted respectfully, then said goodbye and left. The development of things was exactly as he planned. The next step was to capture Wu Yucao!

Although it was him, Xia Ji Balang, who took action, it was Yang Qi who took the blame in the end!

No matter who wins between Yang Qi and Sima Yi, Xia Ji Balang will not suffer any loss anyway. If Yang Qi wins, he can still get a lot of benefits from it!

In the afternoon of the same day, Wu Yucao returned to the mountain peak where the inner disciples lived. She had been in seclusion before. When she came out of seclusion, it happened to be the first time Lin Yi took people to the Guiyin Mountains, so she tried to find Lin Yi and others but could not find them. arrive.

It just so happened that that time was also the period when inner disciples took on tasks to earn points. Wu Yucao simply accepted a task, earning points while treating it as his first experience after becoming a Jianchun Sect disciple.

After completing the mission and returning to the sect today, I never thought that someone would be deliberately trying to deal with me.

"Are you Junior Sister Wu?"

Xia Ji Ba Lang had already been notified by his spy, so he was waiting on the roadside. When he saw Wu Yucao approaching, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "I am your senior brother Xia Ji! I wonder if junior sister Wu has free time now?"

Wu Yucao was slightly stunned. She subconsciously looked around and found that there was no one else around her, so she was sure that he was talking to her.

"Senior Brother Xia Ji...do we know each other?"

Wu Yucao didn't know many people in the entire inner sect, so he wasn't too wary of Xia Ji Balang who suddenly appeared: "I wonder what senior brother Xia Ji wants to see me for?"

"It's like this. Senior Brother Yang Qi, the third senior brother in charge of the inner sect, has something to do. I want to ask my junior sister to ask. If it's convenient for junior sister, can you come with me?"

Xia Ji Balang behaved politely and gave people a very kind and steady impression. After all, he was a senior brother in charge who had been in charge for a long time, and he was extremely good at saving face.

"Third Senior Brother in charge is looking for me?"

Wu Yucao was a little surprised. Because of the long-standing habit of the grassroots at the lower level, they would be somewhat awe-inspiring for those at the top, so after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said: "Then Senior Brother Lao Xiaji will lead the way."

"You're welcome, junior sister, please come with me!"

Xia Ji Balang felt proud, feeling that his action was effortless: "I heard that junior sister just came back from a mission, and she didn't have time to go back to repair it, right? So I asked you and senior brother to go there, I'm really sorry."

What he said was beautiful, but actually he was just making innuendoes to see if Wu Yucao had been in contact with anyone else.

"It's true that I haven't had time to go back yet...but these are all trivial matters, so they won't hinder me!"

Wu Yucao did not doubt that he was there, and thought it was Xia Ji Balang who was chatting casually: "By the way, Senior Brother Xia Ji, I wonder what Senior Brother Yang wants to see me for? I have never met Senior Brother Yang before."

"Senior Brother Yang is responsible for many affairs of the inner sect disciples. I came to see you, probably because of some matters regarding the inner sect of my junior sister."

Xia Jibalang smiled noncommittally: "In short, for a person with such great talent as Junior Sister Wu, Senior Brother Yang must have some good intentions for you when he comes to you. When the time comes, you should ask Junior Sister Wu to take care of you."

"Senior Brother Xia Ji is joking, I'm just a new disciple, I don't have any talent..."

Wu Yucao quickly waved his hand, thinking that Xia Jiba was a good werewolf, and it would be interesting to chat with him for a few words.

This is because Wu Yucao has been in seclusion for too long, so he has never heard of Xia Ji Balang, let alone the grudge between Xia Ji Balang and Lin Yi. If he knew this, he probably wouldn't think so!

The two of them were walking and chatting, but Wu Yucao didn't pay attention. Xia Ji Balang had been deliberately avoiding the sight of the others. Along the way, he just didn't meet any unrelated inner disciples.

A few moments later, Xia Jibalang took Wu Yucao to a pavilion, entered and turned a few corners along the corridor, and then opened a door.

"Junior sister Wu, please come in!"

Wu Yucao was polite and walked in. Then he had some doubts in his heart.

The room in front of me... doesn't look like a place to entertain guests!

Upon entering, there are rows of bookshelves inside, but they are not books, but various files. Will Senior Brother Yang San meet people here?

"Senior brother Xia Ji, where are senior brothers Yang?"

Wu Yucao only had some doubts in her heart, but did not doubt Xia Ji Balang's true intention. Seeing that there was no one inside, she turned to look at Xia Ji Balang: "Do you want me to wait here for Senior Brother Yang to come over?"

However, Wu Yucao, who turned around, didn't see Xia Ji Balang who was behind him just now!

Just now, Xia Ji Balang had already left?

"Senior Brother Xia Ji?"

Wu Yucao instinctively sensed that something was wrong, turned around and rushed out the door!

"Who is it? Dare to break into the inner gate without permission!"

As soon as he appeared, someone shouted loudly outside, and then the footsteps of several people came from everywhere.

In an instant, Wu Yucao ran out of the door and was surrounded by several people, and more people were running over.

"Who are you? Why did you break into the inner gate without permission?"

The man who ran over first had a grim look on his face and drew his sword towards Wu Yucao: "Be obedient and hold your hands, so as not to make a mistake!"

"Brothers, is there any misunderstanding?"

Wu Yucao had already smelled the conspiracy. After forcing himself to calm down, he smiled calmly and said: "I am Wu Yucao, an inner disciple. Senior brother Xia Ji brought me here just now. He said that the third senior brother in charge of the inner sect wanted to see me, so he came here it's here."

"Joke! Even if you want to find an excuse, you should find a better and more reliable one, right?"

The person who just spoke sneered and said: "Let's not talk about your identity, Senior Brother Yang will not have any trouble with you at all. When you borrowed Senior Brother Yang's name, you should at least know the whereabouts of Senior Brother Yang?! Let me tell you , this morning, Senior Brother Yang went to discuss matters with the deputy head of the clan, and he hasn’t come back yet!”

"Are you saying that Senior Brother Yang still had the time to send someone to look for you when he was discussing matters with the Vice Sect Leader? Besides, the Senior Brother Xia Ji you are talking about couldn't be Xia Ji Balang, right? What a coincidence, he He’s not here either, there’s something going on over at Changsu Peak, he was the original senior brother in charge of the outer sect, so he was called to help with it, but he hasn’t returned yet!”

Wu Yucao raised his eyebrows slightly. He was already sure that he was being tricked, but he didn't know why the other party would do this?

The room behind is probably a more important place in the inner door. Normal disciples are not allowed to enter, but I don't know what the punishment will be for trespassing?

"Okay, I've said so much to you, you should be more awake yourself. Trespassing into important places is not something that can be fooled easily. I advise you not to resist and surrender obediently!"

"I want to see Senior Brother Xia Ji!"

Wu Yucao narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "I have never been here before. How could I get here without someone to guide me?"
