Chapter 128 Problem

Her own brother had a problem?

Lu Xiaoyao didn't even dare to think about such a thing.

What reason would her brother have to do this?

She eyed Julian suspiciously. Seeing that he didn't look guilty at all, but instead seemed to be sizing her up, Lu Xiaoyao found herself at a loss for words.

What should she say?

She knew the reason why Lu Gui had stayed here before. Although he hadn't gone into detail later, Lu Xiaoyao knew the general gist of it.

But, if that was the case, why didn't he cooperate with other players?

"Is what you're saying true? What evidence do you have? Just because other players died doesn't necessarily prove it's my brother's fault."

Lu Xiaoyao didn't believe Julian's one-sided story either.

However, that night Lu Xiaoyao learned many things she hadn't known while she was on the mountain.

…

Mingmei woke up the next morning, rubbing her eyes.

They were sore and swollen! Her eyes hurt a little!

"Hiss…"

Mingmei, not knowing why her eyes had swollen shut overnight, sat up and ran to the dressing mirror, only to be startled by the two walnut-like eyes staring back at her.

"Oh my god! Guigui, what's wrong with my eyes?"

Mingmei immediately called out to Guigui, but seeing her host like this, Guigui lost the desire to speak for a moment.

It was pointless to say anything.

"Oh! I remember now." Before Guigui could speak, Mingmei had already "remembered."

"Last night, Little Jiu suddenly had an emotional breakdown and cried in my arms, and I couldn't help but cry along with her."

Guigui: [??]

Is that what you call "remembering"?

Who was the one who started crying first?

[Host, today I calculated with my fingers and discovered that good things will happen to you.]

"Pfft~ What are you doing? How did you, a self-proclaimed high-tech product, start dabbling in metaphysics?"

Mingmei was amused by Guigui's sudden outburst.

[Once, I didn't believe it.]

Guigui sighed helplessly; it couldn't do science in this world!

Mingmei tidied herself up a bit. As soon as she went out, she saw Mei Jiu rushing up to her again, excitedly saying, "Today is the day to order clothes. News came from Shixiong (Senior Brother) the head that people from the Tianyi Pavilion (Heavenly Clothes Pavilion) are back today. Any disciples who need clothes can go to the square in front of the mountain to order them!"

"That's right; the clothes are a bit short." Mingmei and Mei Jiu were at the age where they were growing taller, so naturally, they had to go and order clothes.

The Tianyi Pavilion specialized in making clothes for cultivators. Apart from a few sects that would tailor their own clothes, most sects would do business with the Tianyi Pavilion.

Their clothes were naturally not focused on covering the body or being beautiful; they would also draw defensive formations and runes on them according to the requirements of each sect.

In addition to these basics, disciples could also spend extra spirit stones to customize other functions.

For example, Lu Xiaoyao scanned the customizable functions and finally selected one within the price range of spirit stones that she could afford.

"Defense… double, double?" The Tianyi Pavilion's shop assistant, who was recording these disciples' customization requests, couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Mingmei, who was passing by, also twitched her lips.

What an outrageous request!

She looked at Lu Xiaoyao's customization price list and the customization function area and suddenly felt that Lu Xiaoyao was toxic.

"This immortal maiden, this 'defense doubled' doesn't mean that if you double it, this clothing can block an attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator and then block a Golden Core cultivator. It's even more impossible to double it again and block a Nascent Soul cultivator."

The Tianyi Pavilion's shop assistant was no ordinary person. Although his cultivation talent wasn't high, he was still a cultivator and knew a thing or two about these things.

"I understand!" Lu Xiaoyao waved her hand and said, "The key is that the basic clothes can only block an attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator, right?"

"That's how it is." After the shop assistant answered, Mingmei, who was passing by, had a subtle expression on her face.

Having been friends with Lu Xiaoyao for so long, she knew Lu Xiaoyao's thought process.

But at this moment, Mei Jiu also came over. Hearing their conversation, she was also curious about what Lu Xiaoyao was doing and what she meant.

As a result…

"Then, if I double it and double it again, won't I be able to block the attacks of eight Foundation Establishment cultivators at the same time? Wouldn't that mean I'm not afraid of being ganged up on?"

Tianyi Pavilion Shop Assistant: "…" Good heavens!

Mingmei: "…" Sure enough.

Mei Jiu: "…" Strange knowledge increased again!!

Lu Gui, who was chatting enthusiastically with the elders and stewards of Jingyun Mountain with the grand shopkeeper, saw Lu Xiaoyao rushing back overnight and wanted to go forward and ask her about the specifics of being taken away yesterday. However, he heard these words from afar, and he silently retracted his steps, turned around, and completed the action in one go.

Forget it; he didn't know her.

Didn't want to know her.

"Immortal maiden is joking…"

The shop assistant's professional fake smile was about to break.

Was this person a lunatic?

A Qi Refinement cultivator thinking about being ganged up on by seven or eight Foundation Establishment cultivators?

Could someone tell him what the twists and turns in this story were?

"Are you that afraid of being beaten?" The shop assistant was probably worried about offending a customer and was too embarrassed to ask, but Mei Jiu was very embarrassed and asked directly.

"Of course not. Isn't it because there are more missions to go down the mountain later? I have to get some life-saving measures, right?" When Lu Xiaoyao thought of that thing yesterday, she felt that her future was worrisome.

She was already at the peak of Qi Refinement. If she didn't work hard to do missions and earn points, how would she establish her foundation?

Didn't Foundation Establishment Pills cost spirit stones?

By the way, she would investigate the Zerg clan carefully after going down the mountain.

"Are you going down the mountain often after this?"

Mingmei caught the key information. Lu Xiaoyao was going down the mountain often after this.

"Yes, there seem to be a lot of missions recently." Lu Xiaoyao remembered that she had only seen those missions after rushing back today. They had become strange overnight.

If she had to talk about changes, Lu Xiaoyao wanted to say that the errand-running, salted fish missions of the past were simply peaceful times, while now it was a "bloodbath."

"I don't know why so many demon-slaying missions have suddenly appeared overnight."

Although Lu Xiaoyao said this, she already had some idea in her heart.

This should all be related to the Zerg clan, but it was not appropriate for her to say it in front of the two "NPCs." However, Mingmei couldn't bear to watch Lu Xiaoyao's exaggerated acting skills.

Did she really think that she could deceive people this round just because she had deceived the boss Mona in the previous round?

"Do you think I'm stupid? Just look at your expression; I can tell you're up to no good." As expected, Mei Jiu came up and choked Lu Xiaoyao, making her speechless.

Really… Why weren't the NPCs in this round cute anymore?

"However, it's really not safe down the mountain recently." Ignoring Lu Xiaoyao's twisted expression, Mei Jiu leaned against Mingmei and said, "I also heard that a disciple was attacked while doing a mission down the mountain~"

"That's really dangerous." Mingmei lowered her eyes. Her body in this round was too young. It would still take a long time to grow up, at least to grow into a teenager.

But listening to the rumors, it seemed that the situation couldn't wait for her to grow up.
