The most poisonous female supporting role in the end times

The Central City was not completely newly built. The further you went in, the more you could see the shadow of the former capital of China in the buildings and streets. However, the city, which was originally ranked first in the country, could not satisfy the influx of refugees after the end of the world, so it was expanded and renovated.

The day after Su Tang settled down in the fourth district, she brought Qu Yi and Ren Xiao to the second district where the Taoist Association was located. The wide road and the historic buildings on both sides of the road... Here, she could vaguely feel the past style of this city. But that was in the past after all. The new houses mixed in with the ancient buildings were all low, but extremely solid, like a dignified scholar in a long robe with wide sleeves standing next to a short and sturdy man... It was not harmonious, but for safety, it had to be this way.

Along the way, Ren Xiao kept talking about how amiable his master was, until the three of them stood at the door of the Taoist Association, when he fell silent.

The Taoist Association is located on the left side of Area 2, quite close to Area 1.

From the outside, it looks antique, solemn and majestic, quite like a Taoist temple. Through the wall, you can see the main hall, which is about two stories high, with flying eaves and brackets, giving it a soaring momentum.

But this is just to fool outsiders.

Su Tang's sharp eyes soon discovered that the brackets here no longer played a load-bearing role in the original sense, but were just pure decoration, and the construction technology was simplified too much.

According to her, this should be a post-apocalyptic work.

But think about it from another angle: it's the end of the world, and the government is still willing to build momentum for Taoism, which proves that these Taoists do have some real skills!

This... is a good thing.

Su Tang looked at Qu Yi who was holding his hand and smiled encouragingly at her.

"I'm really a little nervous about my hometown!" Ren Xiao scratched his head with a smile. While trying to smooth over his silence, he pushed the door open and walked in.

What I saw was a small square, but since we arrived early, there was no one here yet.

After passing through, Ren Xiao went straight into the main hall.

The hall is not very big and the furnishings are quite simple.

Apart from the portrait of the Three Pure Ones hanging on the central wall and a set of eight-immortal tables below, there is nothing else.

At this moment, the person who attracted their most attention in the hall was an old Taoist priest named Qingxuan who was sitting on a chair next to the table. He was wearing Taoist robes, had a Taoist bun, and had a short white beard.

"Master! My disciple is back!" Ren Xiao knelt down immediately with great excitement.

Su Tang took Qu Yi and bowed.

Compared to Ren Xiao, Qing Xuan's expression was very calm. He just waved his hand and said, "Get up. You've been away for quite a while. I really missed you. How's your experience? I'll test you later." After a pause, he looked at Su Tang and Qu Yi, "Is this the child you brought back? The tall one seems to be older! But he's still smart!"

This "not-so-satisfactory" attitude made Su Tang feel embarrassed. What are you disliking? I never planned to be a female Taoist priest!

Ren Xiao smiled awkwardly at her and explained, "Uh, Master, that's not it. This is Su Tang, she just sent Qu Yi over. The one next to her is the little disciple I brought back for you."

Qing Xuan looked at Qu Yi for a long while, his eyes brighter and brighter, and he seemed very satisfied. He immediately waved and said, "Little girl, come here, let me take a look!"

Qu Yi glanced at Su Tang, and when he saw her nod, he stopped hesitating and walked straight forward.

Qing Xuan pinched her neck, arms, legs without hesitation... Before Qu Yi was about to get angry, he suddenly stopped, sat back in his seat, and laughed, "Good, good, good! This child has excellent physique, she is simply the last disciple bestowed upon me by the ancestor! Xiao Xiao, hurry up, go and prepare things, I want to hold a disciple-taking ceremony right away!"

While he was talking, Qu Yi had already retreated to Su Tang like a little mouse, looking at her worriedly. I can't hear what he is thinking! This old man is touching me all over, is he a pervert? I...I don't want to stay here anymore!

Su Tang probably understood what she meant, and shook his head, trying not to laugh.

This old Taoist was obviously a straightforward person. His eyes were clear and his movements were actually very serious. He did not look like a person with evil intentions.

Qu Yi pursed her lips and lowered her head. She had to admit that she was actually very reluctant to part with Su Tang and wanted to act coquettishly.

Her mother was gone, her father was gone too, and the only person who was willing to take her in and treat her well was Su Tang. She was her only relative! But she also understood that she was just a burden to Su Tang most of the time. If she really wanted to stay with her, she had to become stronger, at least, comparable to that guy Ren Xiao!

Taking a deep breath, she straightened her small chest.

There will definitely be a day when Su Tang will look at her with new eyes!

Ren Xiao stopped his master from being impatient, saying that Qu Yi still needed time to adapt.

Qing Xuan looked at Qu Yi and nodded reluctantly, "Okay, let Xiao Yi get familiar with the environment first. But this..." He pointed at Su Tang, "Family members cannot stay here, it will affect Xiao Yi's understanding of the Tao!"

Su Tang smiled and spoke for the first time, "Don't worry, I just came to see her living environment and visit you. In fact, I already have a place to live."

Qing Xuan was quite impressed by her frankness and straightforwardness, no wonder he turned his attention to her again. However, the more he looked at her, the more his brows furrowed, as if he was confused. He turned to Ren Xiao, "This child looks like..." "Master!" Ren Xiao suddenly interrupted him, and then said, "Su Tang just came to Central City, and there are still many things to arrange. I think I should take them to Xiaoyi's residence first, so that she can go back without worry. What do you think?"

"Eh? Well... okay, then you take them there..."

Qing Xuan said this but his eyes were still fixed on Su Tang until they left the hall with Ren Xiao.

Su Tang naturally sensed something was wrong. She asked tentatively as she walked over, "Ren Xiao, your master seems surprised by my appearance?"

Ren Xiao was silent for a moment, then turned around and smiled, "It's nothing, actually. You look a bit like one of Master's friends, so it's inevitable that he would be like this. When I first saw you, I was also a bit surprised. But then I thought, there are too many people who look alike in this world, and you're not some stunning beauty, so this is normal!"

Normal... bullshit! Su Tang cursed secretly. Why did you stop your master from talking just now? If this is not a guilty conscience, then what is it! Thinking of a certain possibility, her heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that the Taoist's friend is a relative of the original body? After she said "trouble" in her heart, she immediately felt that Ren Xiao did a very good job, and at the same time she shut her mouth and didn't intend to ask anymore. Although she took on this shell, she was not the original body after all. The possibility of being discovered was certainly small, but having an extra inexplicable relative was also a headache. It's best to just pretend that you know nothing!

She regained her relaxed mood and quickly focused her attention on Qu Yi.

Behind the main hall of the Taoist temple were several small courtyards, and Ren Xiao directly took them into one of them.

"This is Xinzhiyuan. It was originally where Senior Sister Li lived, but she passed away a year ago, so it's empty now. The things inside are all newly arranged and no one has touched them. It's very convenient for Xiaoyi to live here." Ren Xiao's mood became a little depressed when he talked about the deceased senior sister.

Su Tang didn't say much, but just looked around with Qu Yi.

Very good indeed.

Although the courtyard is small, it is very quiet. The suite in the main house, whether the living room, bedroom or study, is fully equipped. There is also a west wing, which is arranged as a guest room. Everywhere is very clean, and it is obvious that someone cleans it every day.

In the last days, if you can live in such a house, you must be very lucky!

She poked Qu Yi's forehead and said, "Learn your skills well! Otherwise, I won't forgive you!"

"I know!" Qu Yi habitually came up to rub her hand, "I know this place is good, and I will study hard! So, you wait for me, okay?"

Su Tang uttered a soft "hmm".

She was touched, but she also had the inexplicable feeling of giving her daughter to someone else... I was so upset! How could she, a rookie who had never been in a relationship, have such a strong maternal instinct?

She had met all the people she was supposed to meet and seen all the things she was supposed to see. After being pestered by Qu Yi for a while and having some crystal cores stuffed into her pocket as backup, Su Tang decided to go home as she still had a lot of things to do!

Ren Xiao took Qu Yi and walked her all the way to the door.

Even when the car was driving far away, one could still see Qu Yi's small figure standing upright.

Su Tang smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone has their own destiny, and fledglings always have to spread their wings. She has already experienced the most heartbreaking separation, so this is nothing! In this way, she has lived up to Qu Yi's trust in the past and her help along the way.

Next, she had to worry about her own affairs.

When she checked in yesterday, she had been told by the administrator that she had to register at the Supernatural Power Management Office by today at the latest. So she and Zhang Chenxi and others had already made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the management office.

Driving back to District 4, she quickly found the Superpower Management Office.

So conspicuous!

Because the fourth district is an expansion area, the houses are all low and densely packed, except for the Superpower Management Office which occupies a small square. Moreover, the height of the two-story building is enough to highlight its grandeur!

There were many people in front of the small square. Su Tang parked the car, looked around, and finally found Zhang Chenxi, Yang Lifan, and the Fang brothers and sisters.

After meeting up with them, the group entered the lobby of the management office.

The hall is divided into two parts. The left side is crowded with people. It is the place to issue or receive tasks. Similar to the Dead City, the supernaturals here can also obtain benefits other than hunting by completing tasks. The right side is relatively deserted. Two semi-enclosed windows are specifically responsible for the registration of newcomers. However, before registering, there is a registration board for reference.

Su Tang looked very carefully.

Soon, she discovered a new thing from the instructions... "Credit Points".

She finally understood why Ren Xiao said that the ID card was very important.

The "credit point" is initiated by the government and is equivalent to virtual currency, and it exists in a person's ID card.

Among the tasks posted on the left side of the hall, a considerable number of them offer rewards in the form of credit points instead of crystal cores. There are some that offer crystal cores as rewards, but on the one hand, the quantity is small and the difficulty is high. On the other hand, if the credit points are converted from the official, it will definitely be less than the credit points that can be obtained directly from the same level of tasks!

Su Tang's first reaction was that the government wanted to tighten control over the crystal cores. But on second thought, that might not be the case... Otherwise, the government shouldn't be so strict about the exchange rate between crystal cores and credit points.

Zhang Chenxi also saw this and said, "It seems that the crystal cores in Central City are in short supply!"

Su Tang nodded unconsciously.

This guess should be correct.

Psychics can advance by absorbing crystal cores, so there must be quite a few people who keep them for their own use rather than buying and selling them.

Maybe the government just wants them to use it?

So they use credit points to replace the original currency status of crystal cores and lower the purchasing power of credit points...

Su Tang was not good at these things to begin with, so after thinking about it for a while he was able to dispel his vague uneasiness.

In any case, since there is such a thing as credit points, she would try not to use the crystal cores. Besides, she and Yang Lifan have already scrapped a lot of first-level crystal cores in the energy experiment, and it will probably continue for some time, so she has to find a way to get more crystal cores.

Apart from credit points, there is nothing else worth paying attention to. It is nothing more than various precautions for living in the city, such as prohibiting private fighting, etc.

After taking out their ID cards, the few of them quickly completed the registration.

Su Tang and Yang Lifan decided to go out for a walk first to familiarize themselves with the environment.

Zhang Chenxi and the Fang brothers and sisters were so attracted by the task board that they couldn't move. There was no other way. The accommodation they arranged was not free. Rent, water, and electricity were all expenses! Whether before or after the end of the world, clothing, transportation, housing, and food were the primary concerns of ordinary people. In the past, you could work, but now you have to fight for your life!

The five decided to act separately.

Su Tang and Yang Lifan had the same idea and decided to go to the commercial street in District 4 first.

The commercial street was quite a distance away, and it took nearly half an hour to drive there, but its prosperity made the two of them quite happy.

Although it is called a commercial street, it is more appropriate to call it a district.

There are at least seven or eight long streets, with shops lined up on both sides, and a narrow passage in the middle that is only wide enough for one person to pass through.

Here, large stores are basically opened by the government. They have a wide range of goods and reasonable prices. However, Su Tang and his friends were not originally here to buy things, but to see the market, so they naturally chose the largest drugstore.

However, just as the two were about to step into the pharmacy, Su Tang looked to the left inadvertently and saw a figure floating by in the crowd, who looked somewhat familiar!

Wang Xinlian?!

She suddenly disappeared from the spot and ran towards the target at the fastest speed.

But the distance was really far, plus, there were people walking around from time to time... When she got there, the other person had disappeared.

Since I didn't see his face, I can't be 100% sure.

But Su Tang was very confident in his eyesight and was 80% sure that the woman was Wang Xinlian!

After looking around for a while, she found that she couldn't find it anymore, so she had to give up.

As she walked back, she considered this possibility.

The conclusion is that it is very possible!

Yue Hongfang asked her for a month for Wang Xinlian, but when they rushed back to the Dead City, Wang Xinlian was left in the refuge team at the Minghu base.

Perhaps Yue Hongfang was planning to take her back after the matter in the Dead City had been settled.

But during this period, Wang Xinlian had too many opportunities to escape!

So, it's not surprising that she came to Central City...

When Yang Lifan caught up with her, he saw the strange smile on her face and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Su Tang raised the corner of his lips, "Maybe, she met an old friend. That's great, this time, I will give her a gift that she will never forget!"
