Do You Know How to Capture a Villain? Chapter 23.2

Murder Attempt (2)

Ye Duanhong's eyes narrowed. He said in a deep voice: “This matter… requires careful research. But Qianke, you'd better go and complete the Peach Blossom Mist Formation first. That's your body protective array. It pays to be safer.”

“Huang Shi has been sealed, and the ghost qi of the earth veins is no longer overflowing. There should be no danger in the immortal cultivation world,” Jiang Qianke commented casually.

He got up lazily, ready to repair the formation.

Shen Rongyu and Ye Duanhong left together. When Ye Duanhong separated from Shen Rongyu, he couldn't help but ask, “Rongyu, you live on White Water Island with her. Does she read books related to formations? ”

Hearing Ye Duanhong's question, Shen Rongyu's eyes narrowed imperceptibly. He regained his composure and said some nonsense, “There is a collection of books on White Water Island, and she also occasionally asks me when in doubt.”

“I see…” Ye Duanhong nodded, said goodbye to Shen Rongyu, and left.

Shen Rongyu stood afixed on Yunshui Peak and let his eyes roam. Milky mist filled the whole valley. The clouds and mountains were covered with mist, forming a maze, and in the mist, peach blossom petals were hidden.

Since the discovery of the iron-cast Huang Shi Earth Vein Star Formation, many cultivators have studied similar protective formations. The same was true of Jiang Qianke's Peach Blossom Mist Formation, which was the most powerful protective barrier known to cultivators.

He gave it a passing glance and left.

After Ji Qingzhuo left Yunshui Peak, she carried her small bag to Elder Qiao Shu's Mingxin Lake to pack dinner.

She was hesitant to stay at Elder Qiao Shu's abode for the night. After all, the fleeting killing-intent alarm in today's formation class made her uneasy.

However, Elder Qiao Shu was not there. He had probably gone to look for exotic flowers and plants outside Xuanyun Sect. So, his disciples prepared some food and went to practice. No one in Mingxin Lake talked to Ji Qingzhuo.

Ji Qingzhou could only pack dinner by herself. She returned to White Water Island, and just as she landed ashore, she found that her Flywheel was out of energy.

She pondered for a moment and was ready to cheekily go to Shen Rongyu to recharge, but when she returned to her small courtyard, she discovered a note Shen Rongyu had left for her on the door. He had something to do tonight and was temporarily unavailable to help her cultivate.

As if she had got a definite answer, Ji Qingzhuo took off the note on the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

She comforted herself. Even the system chimed in, “Host, I think Qiu Mingxue can't stand the sight of you. Seeing that you solved the problem and suppressed her limelight, maybe she fumed for a while and suddenly emitted that killing intent. You don't have to worry too much about it.”

Ji Qingzhuo was sitting in her room in a daze. She scratched her hair, feeling a little vexed. Why did she get involved in such things every day?

However, the system remained quiet afterward, so she calmed down, and with the onset of sleepiness, she climbed into bed and dozed off.

Ji Qingzhuo didn't take off her robe and shrank in a corner. In this strange world, she didn't feel safe at all.

The moon was shining brightly, the wind was rustling on White Water Island, and there was also a string of water trails passing on the calm lake kissing the island.

Ji Qingzhuo was fast asleep with her long eyelashes quietly resting on her cheeks when the system's nervous alarm erupted.

“Host, someone with strong killing intent towards you is within my monitoring range – danger level three. The party is within 300 meters.”

Ji Qingzhou was a light sleeper so her eyes snapped open in an instant. Sure enough, her hunch was right. Someone in her class bore murderous intentions towards her. Now that it was dark and windy, it was the best time to do evil.

She was a little helpless, she didn't even know who wanted to kill her.

She did not hesitate much and jumped out of bed in one breath. In a blink, the system's alarm sounded again.

“Host, the danger degree has gone up by two levels. The other party is 150 meters away.”

Ji Qingzhuo didn't have time to put on her shoes, so she slammed into the door in her rush to go out and frantically escaped. Everything had come true.
