It was ten o'clock in the evening, and the sunset glow on the horizon was dyed orange by the setting sun.
The little fox girl couldn't help but yawn.
Just when she was bored, the dungeon door finally opened with a creak.
Two people walked out one after another, it was Qin Shaoyou and Yan Tianwen.
Behind the two people, there was an unkempt middle-aged man.
His eyes were blood red and his clothes were stained with tears. He walked out of the dungeon without saying a word and stared blankly at the flaming clouds in the sky.
In his eyes, murderous intent surged.
"You go back first."
Qin Shaoyou ordered calmly.
Ma Wu finally came to his senses, saluted Qin Shaoyou, then turned and left without saying a word.
After his figure left everyone's sight, Yan Tianwen couldn't help but ask:
"Mr. Qin, I'm worried that he can't do it..."
Yan Tianwen's expression was very complicated, hesitant but unwilling.
"Don't worry, I'm here, there will be no surprises!"
Qin Shaoyou took a quick look and said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, Yan Tianwen was shocked.
"Mr. Qin, you...you also want to participate in our family trial? But only our Yanjiabao clan members can participate, how can you...?"
He exclaimed in confusion.
"Hahaha, the secret must not be leaked. You will know it when the time comes."
Qin Shaoyou smiled mysteriously, but it made Yan Tianwen murmur in his heart.
Then, Qin Shaoyou turned his eyes and said again:
"Although the toxins in your body have been detoxified now, because the poisoning lasted for too long, you still need to use medicine to regulate it."
"I will instruct my servants to get some medicine. If you take it for a few days, you should be fine."
Yan Tianwen heard this and thanked him repeatedly.
"There's no need to thank me. Didn't you ask me before why I helped you?"
"Now I can tell you!"
Qin Shaoyou turned around and said seriously.
When Yan Tianwen heard this, his expression immediately became extremely respectful:
"I'm all ears!"
"Seven days later, Yanjiabao will hold a ceremony to sacrifice the life star. I want to go with you as your disciple!"
Although Qin Shaoyou left Yanjiabao very early and went to Baiyun Villa.
But he knows the rules of Yanjiabao very well.
The direct descendants of Yanjiabao can recruit disciples for the clan. These so-called disciples do not necessarily have to be heavenly masters to be eligible. As long as they are talented people with special skills, Yanjiabao welcomes them to come and serve.
However, in order to prevent the subordinates from forming gangs and small groups, the clan stipulated that a direct descendant could only recruit one disciple.
Moreover, if this disciple has the qualifications to practice, he will be allowed to participate in Yanjiabao's triennial Life Star Sacrifice Ceremony. If this person can successfully sense the Life Star at the ceremony and start the path of cultivation, he can officially become a Yanjiabao.
The "keepers" of Jiabao will receive the kink token officially donated by Yanjiabao!
This is equivalent to becoming a "people with a different surname" in Yanjiabao!
The status of such people in Yanjiabao is much higher than those who have passed the Feishengtang trial and become deacons and supervisors!
As soon as Qin Shaoyou said these words, Yan Tianwen instantly understood his "intention".
"Mr. Qin has been very kind to me, so of course there is no problem with this little thing!"
He was overjoyed and immediately patted his chest and made a pledge.
To be honest, Yan Tianwen doesn't have anyone he can trust inside the Yan Family Fort now. If Qin Shaoyou can stay with him from now on, wouldn't it be a win-win situation for him?
Qin Shaoyou nodded, everything was within his expectation.
"It's getting late, Mr. Yan, please rest early. Mr. Qin will retire."
...
After leaving Tianlao, Qin Shaoyou did not go back to his yard, but left Yanzhi Mansion and headed north of the city.
The little fox lady was a little puzzled, but she was used to following Qin Shaoyou's arrangements, so she didn't say anything and followed Qin Shaoyou together.
Passing through several streets, night has fallen.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the Yanwang City became brightly lit and a prosperous scene.
It was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the streets and alleys were bustling with activity, with all kinds of colorful lanterns. It made the little fox girl see stars in her eyes, and she almost snatched them all away.
This was the first time she had seen such a lively scene.
However, Qin Shaoyou didn't bring her out just to visit the night market.
After a cup of tea, the two came to a stone bridge. Under the stone bridge was the river across the city of King Yan. Various lotus lanterns were floating on the river, rising and falling with the water, like a star river.
.
After crossing the stone bridge and walking a short distance further, we came to a remote courtyard.
The wooden door of the small courtyard is already mottled, and the copper ring on it is also rusty. It seems that no one has lived there for some time.
Qin Shaoyou walked to the door, without any hesitation, he raised his head, pushed the door open, and walked in.
In the small courtyard, the lights in only one room were on. Qin Shaoyou stood still in the courtyard and did not go any further.
After waiting for a short while, people in the room flickered, and someone opened the door from inside.
"Caomin... pay homage to Mr. Qin!"
As soon as this man came out, he knelt down in front of Qin Shaoyou. He was wearing mourning clothes and looked extremely sad. It was Ma Wu who had just left Yanzhi Mansion!
Inside the house, candlelight dances.
Through the door of the room, you can clearly see that there is a table arranged inside, and on the table, there are more than ten tablets. These tablets are very new, and they were obviously made just now.
Ma Wu's family lived in a small town thirty miles away from here. His whole family was brutally massacred by Yan Tianwu. Even his youngest sister, only seven years old, did not survive.
What frightened Ma Wu even more was that after Yan Tianwu massacred his family, he also set fire to his home!
When he returned, he didn't even have a chance to collect the bodies of his family!
If the little fox girl hadn't followed him at that time, he would have been killed by the killer ambushing beside the ruins like the other three!
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, for allowing me, an unfilial son, to set up a memorial tablet for my two elders..."
Ma Wu raised his head, the look of determination clearly visible in his dancing eyes.
Then, in front of the two of them, he carefully took off his mourning clothes, revealing his strong body.
"very good!"
Qin Shaoyou replied with an indifferent expression.
This is not because he is cold-blooded, but the reason why Ma Wu is today is the result of his choice to work for Yan Tianwu.
Then, a flash of inspiration appeared in his hand, and a golden talisman pen appeared.
"This talisman is extremely powerful. Once it detonates, you will have no chance of survival!"
"Have you thought of it?"
"I've thought about it! Master Qin, please take action!"
Qin Shaoyou nodded, and then he looked sideways at the little fox lady. He was about to say something, but unexpectedly, at this time, the little fox lady was already standing at the door with a tacit understanding.
Seeing him turn around, he nuzzled his nose playfully.
