Chapter 673: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 45

That night, after Ruyi and Zhiqiu Yiye sorted out the information they had investigated during this period, they had an idea of ​​the identity of the Imperial Master in the capital. However, in face of such a huge force, they had to enter the Imperial Master's Mansion and conduct a careful investigation before they could understand it clearly. Therefore, that night Ruyi proposed to explore the Imperial Master's Mansion alone.

"No, Senior, I'd better go with you. If the National Master is really as powerful as you guessed, it would be too dangerous for you to go alone. If I go with you, at least I can buy you some time if you are really discovered."

After hearing Ruyi's plan, Zhiqiu Yiye refused to agree no matter what. Judging from the information he had found out in the past few days, the cultivation of the current imperial master was probably more than 5,000 years old, or even tens of thousands of years old. A monster of this level could not be dealt with even by ordinary gods who came down to earth.

Zhiqiu Yiye knew that Ruyi was powerful, but he also knew that no matter how powerful Ruyi was, he could not deal with a monster that was more than five thousand years old by himself. If Ruyi was determined to go, he would go with him.

Just as he said, Zhiqiu Yiye decided in his heart that he would go with Ruyi even if he died. With his current cultivation level, it would be bragging to say that he would protect Ruyi, but it was still possible for him to risk his life to resist the monster and give Ruyi a chance to escape.

Unable to defeat Zhiqiu Yiye, and not sure that he could escape unscathed if he really met Pudu Cihang, who had practiced for 8,000 years, Ruyi ultimately failed to investigate the Imperial Master's Mansion. Of course, the demon-eliminating event in the capital has been at a stalemate since then.

However, they have been in the capital for quite some time and have begun to be targeted by the Imperial Master's men. Although they have not taken action yet, the growing malice behind them in recent days has made Ruyi and the others realize that they can no longer stay in the capital.

"Senior, we can't stay in the capital anymore."

Zhiqiu Yiye didn't want to do that, but he didn't want to lose his life even more. He knew that it would be bad if he stayed any longer, so he naturally wanted to leave.

But Ruyi was a little unwilling. She didn't want to come to the capital in vain. In order to make her trip not in vain, Ruyi finally decided to get rid of the monsters that she had discovered these days one by one. Anyway, these monsters were disguised as court officials, and they did things that harmed the interests of the people all day long. Even if they were all killed, it would not have any impact on the stability of the court.

"It should be because of our attire that people could tell that we were cultivators, so they reported the news."

Ruyi thought carefully about the situation in their capital city. She was afraid that as early as after Pudu Cihang became the national teacher, he had started a series of expulsions, frame-ups and massacres of the cultivators in the entire capital city. One reason was to prevent them from discovering his plans, and the other was to control the entire capital city in his hands to prevent anyone from listening to the cultivators and standing against him.

She and Zhiqiu Yiye did not put on any disguise when they entered the capital. Ruyi was fine, since he had reached the high level of immortal spirit, he could freely control the withdrawal and release of immortal spirit energy. When he was not taking action, one could not tell Ruyi's identity from his appearance. But Zhiqiu Yiye was different. Although he was dressed rather sloppily, a closer look revealed that he was wearing proper attire, so it was too easy for him to be discovered.

"So what are we going to do now?"

Zhiqiu Yiye heard the reluctance in Ruyi's words. He wanted to persuade her but he also understood Ruyi's thoughts, so he had to ask Ruyi about her plans.

"These monsters have been staring at us for so many days and have not attacked us right away. I think it's because we look like ordinary cultivators and are not a threat to the Imperial Master. The reason they are getting impatient now is because we have been too aggressive in our investigation these days and have been noticed by them."

The only monster they couldn't deal with in the entire capital was Pudu Cihang. The other monsters were no match for them at all. There was so much merit power there. If they all absorbed it, perhaps Ruyi's cultivation could be further improved. It was impossible to ask her to give up like this.

Anyway, Pudu Cihang is now focused on weakening the dragon of luck, and will not personally deal with the two "little Taoist priests" for a while. He will only keep sending his monsters over, and kill them one by one or two at a time.

"We are being watched closely by them right now. If we take any action, we will probably be surrounded by monsters. Although we can solve the problem, if we really fight, it will easily attract the old monster, which will be bad then."

"So we can pretend to leave first, and come back after they confirm with their own eyes that we have left!"

"There's a saying that goes 'the most dangerous place is the safest place'. After we come back, we can change our identities and places. When the time comes, the enemy will be in the open and we will be in the dark. When they don't realize anything is wrong, we can kill all the monsters that need to be killed!"

Ruyi's plan sounds crude, but Zhiqiu Yiye thinks about it carefully and finds that it is totally correct. It is easy to fall into a passive position if he kills those monsters with his current identity. But as Ruyi said, if he leaves and comes back with a different identity, he can not only get rid of those eyes, but also hide in the dark and actively eliminate the monsters.

"Senior, your plan is great, let's do it!"

So next, Ruyi and Zhiqiu Yiye packed their luggage, checked out of the inn, and then left the capital city under the nose of the monster that was following them. They walked for a long time, and only after they were sure that the monster had left, they changed direction and headed towards the south of the city.

"We have to find a place to change clothes first, and then find a human trafficker to hire some help. This time we are no longer two righteous monks coming to Beijing to exorcise demons, but Mrs. Song and Mr. Song, merchants who come to Beijing to do business!"

Ruyi took out the luxurious clothes she had packed in another world, plus some gold and silver jewelry, and prepared to dress up. Seeing Zhiqiu Yiye just standing there and grinning stupidly, Ruyi patted Zhiqiu Yiye's shoulder helplessly, "Zhiqiu Yiye, did you hear what I just said?"

"Ah, what?"

"I say, did you hear what I just said?" Ruyi's expression was already a little bad. Seeing this, Zhiqiu Yiye quickly admitted his weakness and smiled foolishly. While apologizing, he repeated what Ruyi had said before, "Senior, you, you said we, we are Mr. Song and his, his wife who came to Beijing to do business..."

When Zhiqiu Yiye said the word "Madam", his voice became lower and lower, but his face became hotter and hotter. Seeing how "shy" he was, Ruyi wanted to scold him but she was too lazy to say it out loud. "You know he is pretending, but I don't know why he is so shy. Forget it, let him be happy for a while."

Ruyi is not a fool and can naturally feel Zhiqiu Yiye's feelings for her. However, Zhiqiu Yiye has never expressed his feelings to Ruyi, so it is difficult for Ruyi to refuse. Secondly, Zhiqiu Yiye just likes Ruyi and has not done anything bad or harassing to Ruyi. Although Ruyi has no romantic feelings for Zhiqiu Yiye, they still have friendship and naturally will not force herself to reveal everything.
