Xiao Li wrote, ”There's no rush. Let's wait for another two days and see.” After that, he told Little Monkey how he was going to pass the message to Ling Qingyun, and also told him where they were hiding. He also told him that he must find a reliable person to pass the message, otherwise, if these secrets were leaked out, it would be very disadvantageous to Ling Qingyun and Zhai Yingkong.
Xiao Li wrote on the table, ”I will first cure Foreign Dignitary Hong, then ask him about the situation in the inner chamber of the altar. Go back to your room and wait for news of me. I will be back very soon.” The little monkey told Xiao Li all the information he got every day, so Xiao Li knew the situation in the hall like the back of his hand. Although the guest official had a high position in the altar, he still stayed in the outer hall. Only when he became an elder could he move into the inner hall.
Little Monkey said, ”Alright, Big Bro will go and come back early. I'll definitely think of a foolproof plan.” Then he got up and went back to his room.
Xiao Li watched as the little monkey left. He suddenly sighed and said, ”Brother, take care.” Afterwards, he got up and changed into night clothes, which Little Monkey had helped him make. It was much better than the close-fitting hunter clothes he used to wear. This was the true attire of the martial arts practitioners at night. Xiao Li put it on and moved around a little. It felt light to the body and there was no restriction at all. He couldn't help but praise it. There were a lot of things to learn in the martial arts world and it was not as simple as he thought. It was a pity that he didn't know if he would ever have the chance to experience it again. He was regretting that he had rejected Zhai Yingkong. Actually, it was a good choice to walk around in the martial arts world. As he thought of this, he unconsciously thought of Tian Liu, Mu Long, Ling Qingyun, Gongsun Jane, her father, the people who worked with Gongsun Jane, and Little Monkey. These people were all people of the martial arts world, and they were all loyal to each other.
Xiao Li shook his head as if he was trying to shake off the annoying thought. ”Now is not the time to think about such things. Tonight, I have to focus all my attention. This is my only chance. If I lose my life, I will die here.”
After Xiao Li finished his work, he blew out the oil lamp and went to the window. He opened it slightly and looked out, then he casually closed the window and slid down to the ground like a snake. When Xiao Li arrived at Foreign Dignitary Hong's house, the lights were still slightly lit. He was as nimble as a cat. After checking his surroundings, he found that there was no one hiding. Thus, he entered through the wall without making a sound.
When he reached the lighted window, he tapped on it with his finger. Du du du, this is the signal that the little monkey and guest Hong agreed upon, two long and three short.
As expected, someone immediately flew to the window and opened it. Xiao Li entered the window as though he had no bones. At the same time, Foreign Dignitary Hong's voice came from inside, ”Brother Little Monkey, your kung fu is amazing. I didn't notice you enter.” At the same time, a surprised voice was heard, ”This...” ”What kind of martial arts is this?” He was surprised to see Xiao Li's snake-like body slip through the window.
Xiao Li didn't pay any attention to him. His body was still in the window, swinging its tail in the air. His upper body was suddenly lifted, and under the pushing from behind, he flew straight towards Foreign Dignitary Hong. His two palms headed straight towards Foreign Dignitary Hong's chest, bringing with them a strong wind.
Foreign Dignitary Hong was caught off guard by Xiao Li's attack. Seeing Xiao Li's sharp palm, he could only try his best to block Xiao Li's attack. Suddenly, Xiao Li's upper body elongated by three inches. His palms missed each other and headed straight for the throat of Foreign Dignitary Hong.
Foreign Dignitary Hong had failed his plan consecutively, and seeing that the other party's hands were already at his throat, he unconsciously widened his eyes in fear. At the same time, he could not help but shout out in fright, ”Ah!”
However, the moment Xiao Li's palms reached the other party's throat, he changed from slapping to grabbing. His right hand grabbed the other party's throat while his left hand sealed the other party's mouth, stopping Foreign Dignitary Hong's cries. The fight between the two had only lasted for a split-second, but the danger involved had caused both of them to sweat profusely.
First, Xiao Li wanted to test his skills and see if he could restrain his opponent in one move. If he couldn't even deal with Foreign Dignitary Hong, then perhaps he wouldn't need to go to the inner hall to look for someone. Secondly, he wanted to control the other party and prevent him from suddenly shouting out so that his identity would be exposed. However, he didn't expect that his inexperience would almost cause Foreign Dignitary Hong to exclaim out loud.
He did not expect that the person who came in was not a little monkey and that the other party was so skilled. Although it was a surprise attack, he was able to restrain the other party without even taking a single move. At the same time, he was also aware that Little Monkey had probably already been caught by others. One could imagine his own fate.
Xiao Li restrained Foreign Dignitary Hong and called out from the outside: ”Old Hong, what happened just now? This humble one seemed to have heard your shout just now. ” There was a servant outside the room, waiting to serve him.
When Xiao Li heard this, he couldn't help but be at a loss for what to do. One must know that his own life was in the hands of the other party. If the other party discovered that something was amiss, they would probably kill him for it. He immediately pointed at Xiao Li's hand that was covering his mouth, indicating that he should dismiss the slave.
Xiao Li quickly took his hand away. The guest, Hong Ye, felt that he had been pardoned, and said to the outside, ”It's alright, I was just practicing. You don't have to wait on me here, you can go back to sleep. ”
The little servant said, ”Oh, that's good. However, little servant is still waiting outside the door, so little servant can bring you some food later. ”
Foreign Dignitary Hong was a little angry at this moment and said, ”What are you blabbering about? If I tell you to go, then go!
The little servant originally wanted to show his loyalty, but unexpectedly, it was the opposite. He quickly said: ”Yes!” Then, he started walking away. In his heart, he was still wondering: For Old Hong to become so irritable, could it be that his cultivation would not go smoothly? En, maybe it's because I haven't been able to control myself recently, so it's better to not provoke them too much. However, how could someone like him, who only knew how to practice with his life on the line? It seems like I should find a good backer as well so that I won't have to suffer the wrath of this place for the rest of my life.
When Xiao Li heard the footsteps leaving, he heaved a sigh of relief. His eyes swept across the room and saw a pen and ink lying on a desk. He quickly pulled Foreign Dignitary Hong over and wrote on a piece of paper with his pen, ”I have captured the little monkey. If you want the antidote, don't hesitate.”
When Foreign Dignitary Hong saw the words, he said in his heart: As I expected. He quickly nodded and said, ”If senior has any orders, junior will definitely comply.”
Xiao Li was currently masked, only exposing his eyes. Thus, Foreign Dignitary Hong did not know that it was the mute who brought him food. Xiao Li didn't explain anything to him. The reason he came here today was to give him the antidote and ask him about the inner chamber's situation, so he wrote on the paper, ”I came here to save a person in the inner chamber. That's why I asked you to tell me about the inner chamber's topography.
Foreign Dignitary Hong said, ”Thank you, Senior!” He thought to himself, [I am afraid if I go with you, I will have to go back to the main hall. If I get hunted down, I will die a horrible death.]
Seeing his expression, Xiao Li knew what he was thinking and wrote on the paper, ”I'm in great danger, so I'm only looking for you to understand the situation and not for you to accompany me. ”This is the antidote. Take it first, if you are not willing to tell me the news, then I will not force you. After all, Lou Lan is powerful, and it will not be easy for you to become its enemy.” With a flip of his hand, he took out a pill and placed it on the table.
Hearing this, Foreign Dignitary Hong's face lit up. He did not think that the other party would be so easy to talk to. He suddenly thought that this could be a test from the other party and wondered if that was possible.
Xiao Li didn't have the time to pay any attention to his words. He wrote on the paper, ”The antidote has already been delivered. Since you are unwilling to tell me the news, I won't force you. I'll take my leave first.” He hurriedly got up and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Foreign Dignitary Hong hurriedly stopped him and said, ”Senior, since you are so magnanimous, I will repay you in kind and dare not hide anything from you.” He picked up the pill on the table and consumed it. Then, he started to circulate the medicinal power of the pill. When he checked that his heart meridian was indeed unharmed, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
He had planned to stop the other party from revealing his loyalty if it was fake medicine. If the other party wanted to hear the news from his mouth, he definitely wouldn't die. When that time came, they could bargain. Only now after consuming the pill did he realize that the other party was not lying and did not take him seriously at all.
Xiao Li stood to the side, quietly waiting for him to disperse the medicinal strength, waiting for his reply.
