Chapter 71 Finding Someone

After Lu Gui finished speaking, he looked at Julian and Lou Jia, his face full of "Do you know anyone skilled in formations?"

However, Julian and Lou Jia both wore bitter expressions.

"If I did, I wouldn't have given the array imprint I previously obtained to the City Lord of the Northern Ice City. Like you said, the ones skilled in formations are mostly disciples of Bibo Yaoshan and Butian Sect. The Demon Clan has some too, but I don't know them."

Julian sighed and continued, "Wang Wenfei was originally at Bibo Yaoshan, but she was ambushed and eliminated recently. Su He of Butian Sect also suddenly died. Those were the only two players in those two sects."

Lu Xiao Yao had already told Lu Gui about what Julian said, and Lu Gui asked, "It doesn't have to be a player. Do you guys know any NPCs who are good at it and have decent strength?"

Lou Jia shook his head. Although demon cultivators weren't universally despised now, they still maintained a certain distance from righteous cultivators.

And among demon cultivators, who would bother studying such mysterious and difficult things like formations? It's better to cultivate some secret techniques to escape quickly, or, if all else fails, spend more crystal cores to get some advanced teleportation talismans. Which one isn't easier than this?

Julian also shook his head. He mostly knew casual players. He wasn't idle in this Linjing City, and the time he went to Northern Ice City was also on leave.

Seeing this, Lu Gui sighed helplessly. It was at this moment that he realized Lu Xiao Yao's social skills were quite useful.

So, the next day, Lu Xiao Yao received a message from Lu Gui. She brought the message to Zhen Po, and the two discussed who to look for.

"Didn't Su He from Butian Sect bring his fellow disciples to stay with us for a while? I remember those people being pretty good-tempered. How about we look for them?"

Lu Xiao Yao naturally knew who Zhen Po was talking about, but Lu Xiao Yao was still a little hesitant, and said, "This sounds complicated. Do you think any of them are really good at it?"

"Probably not. They're all young. How good can they be? But... there's that NPC who looks a lot like Mu Chen, called Xie Chen, right? I heard people say he's very capable.

"Not very old, but skilled." After confirming that Xie Chen wasn't Mu Chen, and that he didn't seem to have been caught doing anything bad, Zhen Po naturally thought of him.

Xie Chen's face alone didn't look like a dummy. After all, everyone had seen Mu Chen's skills. If a dumb NPC came out and ruined his reputation, wouldn't the game company get sued after the game?

Lu Xiao Yao and Zhen Po thought the same thing.

"That's right. Xie Chen was set up in Northern Ice City. If we tell him it's related to that evil cultivator, he might really help!"

"Help with what?"

Suddenly, Mei Jiu and Ming Mei appeared at the door, startling Lu Xiao Yao and Zhen Po.

Lu Xiao Yao was about to say something when Ming Mei spoke up, "Have you encountered any difficulties? Do you need Jiu and me to help?"

"You two are too young, no need, no need~"

Probably infected by her own older brother's protectiveness of the young ones, Zhen Po waved his hand to reject Ming Mei. In his opinion, these two were too young and couldn't really help with anything.

However, Lu Xiao Yao was hopping mad on the side.

They're young, but their parents are around!

Pulling them in is like pulling in two big shots!

Thinking of this, Lu Xiao Yao secretly glared at Zhen Po, disliking him.

"What do you mean no need—? It would be great to have your help!"

However, Lu Xiao Yao's disdainful expression was fleeting. The next second, she immediately turned her head and smiled at Mei Jiu, then bumped her butt against Zhen Po, who was standing next to her, knocking the unprepared Zhen Po to the ground.

Zhen Po: !??

"We're going to chat with the fellow disciples from Butian Sect. Do you... want to go together?"

…

"Go where? What's so good about going to Butian Sect?" Ming Mei and Mei Jiu didn't expect Mei Shi to refuse.

"Let's go take a look~ Mother~ It's so boring always being on Jingyun Mountain~"

"Is that so? Didn't you just come back from Bibo Yaoshan? It's only been a few days?"

"Yes, it's been many days. Let's go somewhere else~" Mei Jiu persisted, secretly hinting that Ming Mei should also act spoiled, but before Ming Mei could adjust her mindset to act spoiled, she heard Mei Shi say, "Xie Zhen has been so worried lately that he's almost bald. It's better to not go there now."

Although Xie Zhen usually had a super good temper, who likes to go near someone in a bad mood?

"What happened?" Ming Mei was stunned. How long had it been since they left Butian Sect? What happened recently?

"Yeah, all the old man's previous divinations have been broken. He's almost lost all face and is about to hang himself from a southeast branch~" Speaking of this, Mei Shi really couldn't help but laugh out loud, but with children present, she shouldn't laugh like that.

"Divinations broken?" Ming Mei was stunned. Ming Mei didn't know how high Xie Zhen's divination skills were in this game, but at least in the world she used to live in, Xie Zhen's divinations were extremely accurate and could never be broken.

Otherwise, her mother wouldn't have caused such a ruckus at Butian Sect after her fate was told, hoping that he would change his mind.

If Xie Zhen's divinations weren't accurate…

Ming Mei's heart jumped, as if realizing something. Watching Mei Shi talk about Xie Zhen's recent embarrassing appearance with great enthusiasm, she became even more certain.

She looked at the oblivious Mei Jiu and then at her mother, summoning Gui Gui in her heart: [Do you think there's a possibility...]

[What? Host, don't speak hesitantly.] Gui Gui was a little anxious when she heard Ming Mei stop in the middle of her sentence.

[Is there a possibility that all of Sect Leader Xie Zhen's previous divinations were wrong?]

[Huh?] Gui Gui was stunned, not understanding what Ming Mei was saying.

[I mean... if all of Sect Leader Xie Zhen's previous divinations have been broken, wouldn't he be considered very incompetent in the eyes of others?]

[That... that's true. Is there a problem with this? Or do you suspect they are targeting Sect Leader Xie Zhen?]

[I'm not sure if they're targeting Sect Leader Xie Zhen yet, but...]

But she needed to know who and what Xie Zhen had divined for, in order to make possible defenses and preparations based on that.

Overthrowing Xie Zhen's divinations one by one, causing him to lose the trust of others, and then... Ming Mei thought, but she didn't know whose voice came to mind—

[The truth of some things is not important, what's important is that everyone believes it to be the truth. If everyone thinks it's the truth, even the heavens won't easily defy it. At that time, that thing will be the truth.]

The words spoken by a vague figure in Ming Mei's memory made Ming Mei seem to grasp some thoughts, but she wasn't sure...
