My messenger is a little fox

News of Master Abati's death reached Nebula City first.

When everyone returned in the evening, the atmosphere in the whole city was solemn. Many city residents spontaneously organized to greet them at the city gate. The city lord Song Lian even went out of the city in person to welcome the body of Master Abati into the city gate.

Duan Yihong and Wu Jinnan were also in the welcoming team. They briefly communicated with Li Yu for a while and then left.

The two smelled the tense atmosphere in Nebula City and decided to return to the mainland after receiving their reward. However, they did not know that Liu Hudong and the other three had rebelled and had been killed by Abati. Before leaving, they reminded Li Yu to be more careful with them.

As soon as the two left, Ji Xiaomeng rushed over to him. Regardless of the eyes of others, he held Li Yu's arm and refused to let go.

The little girl's eyes were red and she looked angry.

However, Li Yu felt inexplicably warm in his heart. There were only a few people in this world who still cared about him despite the entanglement of interests. So he raised his hand, stroked the little girl's hair and smiled: "Don't worry, I will not abandon my good sister."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu felt a sharp pain on his arm, and the little girl's white teeth bit on it again, and he threatened vaguely: "I will go wherever you go from now on, don't leave me behind." I!"

Fortunately, my skin and flesh are strong. Li Yu endured the pain and said with a smile: "Look, everyone is looking at you. How old a girl are you and you don't have to be ashamed?"

Ji Xiaomeng simply bit Li Yu's arm, buried her eyes in Li Yu's arms, and said angrily: "I don't want to look! Promise quickly, promise quickly!"

"It's not that I don't want to take you, it's that some places are too dangerous and I don't have the ability to take care of you. You don't want us to go to the underworld to renew our brother-sister relationship, right?" Li Yu comforted, but did not receive any response.

Ji Xiaomeng was immersed in being an ostrich, but Li Yu couldn't resist the strange looks from the people around him, especially in this serious scene, so he could only say: "Let's do this, as long as you become stronger and have the ability to protect yourself, I promise you I'll take you with me wherever I go."

"You think I'm incompetent!"

The little girl snorted angrily, but then she opened her mouth and said angrily: "Just wait, I will show you how powerful I am, and then you must keep your word."

Li Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly pulled Ji Xiaomeng away. He quickened his pace and coaxed: "Of course it counts! Let's hurry up. The team is almost gone. Let me give Master Abati a ride again."

Damn it, Ji Xiaomeng was dragged away with a dark face. Li Yu must have done this on purpose. Didn't he know that this girl has short legs?

"Hey - Master Qi wants to see you..." Ji Xiaomeng reminded Li Yu as if he just remembered.

……

Qi Mansion.

Li Yu told the story exactly what happened after encountering Moyun Sect, and handed the box containing the marrow of Sanyuan to Qi Haoran.

Qi Haoran, who was already very old, looked even older. He threw the box at the foot of the desk, frowned and sat there to listen quietly, and then remained silent.

"Grandmaster……"

Ji Xiaomeng couldn't stand the dullness and asked worriedly.

Qi Haoran raised his hand to stop Ji Xiaomeng's words, and then said after a long time: "Jiang Honglie, Song Tianlong, and the Moyun Sect are all here, and their intention to destroy our Nebula City has been revealed.

"During this period, the Jialuo Kingdom colluded with the black sands in the city to attack the passing caravans and patrol teams of Nebula City many times. The Demon Sword Sect is indispensable behind this. It seems that the Demon Sword Sect and the Demon Cloud Sect have already reached an agreement on our Nebula City. We have some kind of tacit understanding. It's a pity that the information you sent us, even though I had arrangements, we still suffered heavy losses."

"Black Sand Society?"

Li Yu was surprised, "Have they already exposed their fangs?"

Qi Haoran frowned, "Did you know in advance that there would be problems with the black sand?"

This was a misunderstanding that Li Yu knew but did not report it. Li Yu hurriedly explained: "No! When collecting the marrow of Sanyuan, the Wang family and his wife in the team were bribed by the Black Sand Society to take my life."

Then Li Yu recounted what the Wangs and his wife did in Santuyuan, and finally said: "Originally, Master Abati said he would return to the city to investigate in person, but unexpectedly this result came out."

"Brother Li, Heishahui really want to kill you? Why do they want to kill you?" Ji Xiaomeng was shocked and said: "Have you ever offended them?"

Seeing Ji Xiaomeng's excited expression and trembling body, Li Yu comforted him: "I don't know anyone from the Black Sand Society, and I had never even heard of this gang before coming to Nebula City. But don't worry, now they are being The Nebula City siege has no chance of hurting me."

"But it's very dangerous to be worried about them. Maybe they'll offer you another reward!" Ji Xiaomeng's worry continued.

"Haha, how come your Brother Li is so easily plotted? Besides, aren't you the one who wants to protect me?"

Li Yu laughed and saw Qi Haoran groaning as if he had something to say, so he said to Ji Xiaomeng: "Xiaomeng will go back and practice diligently. Maybe he can really protect me in the future. Master Qi and I still have something to say. , I’ll go find you when I’m done.”

"Well!" The little girl pursed her lips and left worriedly. During this period, she was living in Qi Mansion, and she had her room here.

Listening to Ji Xiaomeng's footsteps disappearing, Li Yu faced Qi Haoran and said solemnly: "Master, do you have something to say?"

Qi Haoran raised his head and sighed: "They say family scandals should not be made public, but you had expected this, so it doesn't matter.

"At the beginning, the only people who knew about the four-character prophecy of 'rock cracks and sky collapse' were the old man, three disciples, and Lord Song. If Heisha wants to bribe the Wangs and his wife to assassinate you, he must know the collection list first, and I am the only one who knows the list. Wait for five people.

"Now that Abati has gone, I and City Lord Song are in charge of the Nebula City formation. If there is a problem, the Demon Sword and Moyun Sects may have already occupied Nebula City. Then the problem is probably with my two remaining disciples. between.

"During this period, I assigned them a lot of secret tasks that only they knew. To be honest, I really hoped that there was an oversight somewhere else, but in the end I found this person. You must have guessed that it was him. Yang Zhengtai!"

The old man's expression was full of sighs, "I didn't expect that after more than thirty years of following me, the disciples who I watched grow up, watch them become talents, and watch them marry and have children would still betray me and betray Nebula City!"

Sure enough, there was something wrong with Qi Haoran, but how did Zhao Yuheng deceive Qi Haoran? He seemed to have predicted that Qi Haoran would test them, but no one other than Ji Xiaomeng should have known about the four-character prophecy he forwarded to Qi Haoran.

It's a pity that Yang Zhengtai was squeezed out, otherwise we could have asked him for some information.

"Has Master Yang admitted his behavior?" Li Yu asked.
