Chapter 132 Wounded Again?

"Injured again?"

It hadn't even been a month since she left, had it?

Mingmei had just returned when she heard that Lu Xiaoyao and the others were seriously injured again. She heard they'd performed some great service.

But no matter how great the service, the most important thing was that everyone was okay.

However, when she and Mei Jiu curiously went to visit Lu Xiaoyao, she heard her still vigorously trying to pass the buck to Zhen Po.

"Hey! It was clearly Julian who didn't hold you back when we were blowing it up, why are you blaming me?"

"Clearly it was you, okay? You insisted I go first, wasn't I so disheveled afterwards because of you?"

"Going first means exhausting all your spiritual power? How come no one else who goes first is like you?"

When Mingmei and Mei Jiu entered, they saw the two guys wrapped in bandages with only their mouths exposed, still arguing incessantly. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.

Weren't they supposed to have performed a great service? Why did it sound like they were trying to shirk responsibility?

"Ah… someone's here."

Seeing the two little ones at the door, Zhen Po shut his mouth first. Lu Xiaoyao saw them and happily said, "Hey, didn't you two go to Butian Sect? Why are you back so soon?"

"A senior brother from Butian Sect suddenly passed away, so we came back."

Mingmei remembered that Suhe was a player, and maybe Lu Xiaoyao and the others knew him, so it would be better to tell them the news of the player's death.

"It was that Senior Brother Suhe."

"Ah? Suhe!" Zhen Po immediately sensed something was wrong. He "whooshed" and jumped up from the bed, looking at Mingmei and asking, "How did he die?"

"I don't know, they didn't say anything to outsiders." Mingmei shook her head, she wanted to know too.

"I heard he died suddenly!"

Mei Jiu wasn't as well-behaved as Mingmei. She was a social butterfly who could chime in anywhere and hear gossip. Mingmei really hadn't heard anything, but Mei Jiu didn't know when she found some disciple to ask.

"It seems he was backlashed from dabbling in forbidden divination."

"Ah?" Mingmei and Lu Xiaoyao looked at Mei Jiu in surprise, wanting to confirm if what she said was true.

"Mm-hmm, I heard it from their sect's disciples~"

Mei Jiu raised her chin to indicate that everything she said was what she'd heard and not just nonsense.

"Why would he do that for no reason?"

Knowing that Suhe was a player, Zhen Po and Lu Xiaoyao were even more puzzled by his death. They exchanged a look, their thought processes rarely aligned, but this time they did.

Zhen Po: [Could it be because he wanted to divine where the Zerg were?]

Lu Xiaoyao: [Oh, that's possible!]

Mingmei looked at the two people like mummies, tugged on Mei Jiu's sleeve. As long as they were alive, that was enough. They had other things to do, since they had just returned.

These two were so injured, it would be hard to get any news out of them.

Especially since Lu Xiaoyao didn't treat her like a player, which made it even more awkward.

The key was that Mingmei was too embarrassed to say, "I'm a player, I'm your friend." She was afraid Lu Xiaoyao would die of embarrassment.

So, as soon as they left, Lu Xiaoyao sighed, "Wow, I didn't expect Suhe, who seemed a bit cowardly, to be so brave, even daring to divine directly?"

"Yeah, I forgot that the immortal technique he's cultivating now is divination, and it can be used like that." Zhen Po thought for a moment and sighed, "It's a pity he wasn't skilled enough."

Outside the game,

"Achoo!!!"

Not skilled enough, Suhe crawled out of the game pod looking like he was about to drown. He sneezed several times in a row as he crawled out. He couldn't forget the scene of his death in the game.

He was so scared that his legs were still weak even after crawling out of the game pod. He sat on the ground for a long time before reaching out to support himself on the game pod behind him, but his hand touched something warm.

"Eh?"

Feeling that the sensation was wrong, Suhe immediately turned his head and saw someone else had just come out of the game pod behind him.

Wang Wenfei was in a terrible mood. She had been investigating the Baicaotang massacre with her fellow disciples in Bibo Yaoshan, but just as she was making some progress, she was ambushed and killed.

She didn't even know the person's face or identity before being ambushed!

She was so depressed coming out of the game that her legs had just landed when a hand reached out from next door.

Wang Wenfei looked down and, sure enough, met the owner of the hand that had unintentionally touched her calf.

"Let me explain…"

…

Qiongyu City (affiliated city of Bibo Yaoshan),

"No one from Bibo Yaoshan came again today?"

Lu Gui was on a temporary business trip, delivering a batch of precious brocades customized by Bibo Yaoshan to Qiongyu City.

However, for two days in a row, he had sent messages to the disciples of Bibo Yaoshan to come and pick up the fabrics, but no one paid any attention.

The other party didn't send anyone to explain either.

They were really being overbearing.

Seeing the clerk who had gone to deliver the message return with this embarrassed expression, Lu Gui knew that no one would come again today.

"They were urging Tianyi Pavilion to send the fabrics over earlier, why don't they want to bother with it now?" Lu Gui tapped the table irritably with his fingers, glanced at the clerk, and asked, "Could it be that the branch offended Bibo Yaoshan, and you here don't know about it?"

"How could that be? Qianbaoge, who delivers jewelry, is also stuck. I heard that Bibo Yaoshan has been under martial law recently."

The clerk quickly explained that they hadn't done anything wrong here.

Bibo Yaoshan was a rare, worry-free customer, how could they dare to anger them!

"Have you heard any rumors?" Lu Gui felt that something was wrong when he heard this. It would be one thing if their store was rejected, but with several more, that was not right.

Mei Jiu, who had made a little sister in Bibo Yaoshan, naturally received a voice transmission from Luo Yao with news that they couldn't get here.

"Huh? Are you saying that a disciple of Bibo Yaoshan died?"

Mingmei looked at Mei Jiu, who shared everything with her, and realized that things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

"Which one is it?" Mingmei seemed to remember that among the disciples who came to Jingyun Mountain from Bibo Yaoshan, she also saw players, including Wang Wenfei.

Just as a bad idea was born, Mingmei confirmed it—"It was one of the senior sisters who came with Luo Yao earlier, named—'Wang Wenfei' it seems."

Wang Wenfei was always cautious, her sudden death meant that things were definitely not as simple as she thought.

"I heard from Luo Yao that her master is furious and has directly sealed the mountain, vowing to thoroughly investigate the sect."

"Does this mean that there is a problem within Bibo Yaoshan?"

Mingmei clearly grasped what the other party's master was going to do. Sealing the mountain and thoroughly investigating the sect, weren't these messages obvious enough?

"Um, is that so?" Mei Jiu was still young after all, and couldn't think of some things, but after hearing Mingmei say this, she couldn't help but frown, "Then, then will Luo Yao be in danger?"

Mingmei couldn't answer Mei Jiu's question. She was more concerned about something else…

"Ah? Fei Fei is gone?"

After being bandaged with good medicine, Lu Xiaoyao and Zhen Po were back to their old selves in two days. However, just as they were back to their old selves, they heard this news.

"I heard from Xiao Jiu that Bibo Yaoshan's Senior Sister Wang Wenfei suddenly died a few days ago…"

Mingmei was like a message-delivering NPC. As she spoke, she added with a guiding tone, "I remember you have a lot of connections. That's why I'm telling you about this. Recently, it seems that similar things have happened in many sects. I wonder about the others…"

Mingmei deliberately brought up other sects, causing Lu Xiaoyao to frown and worry about the other players.

"Ah, should we ask our fellow… um, senior and junior brothers in Wanjian Sect and Lianhua Temple?" Zhen Po was also anxious. From the incidents in these major cultivation sects some time ago to the deaths of players, who would believe there was no problem?

Could it be that the Zerg had discovered them and were secretly trying to eliminate them all?
