Taichu Yandao: Starting from the Villain

"Sorry!" Luo Kai looked embarrassed, but the next moment he asked directly: "Well... I don't know what Yulan wanted to talk to you about just now? I'm just asking casually."

Zhao Rui raised his eyebrows, looked at the two blanks beside him, and said:

"She asked me to help with the firing of the porcelain, nothing else."

Luo Kai looked unconvinced and said, "Shaoci, we are all Qigong masters, not magic weapons..."

"She said that she couldn't make porcelain with a clear sound, and she was afraid that she couldn't control the temperature well, so she asked me to help her try."

Luo Kai stroked his chin and said, "That makes sense... But Brother Zhao, why was her clothing so messy when she went out? What did you do to her?"

When he asked the last question, his eyes widened and he looked like he was going to accuse someone.

"Damn..." Zhao Rui had racked his brains before, but he never thought that the hidden mine would be buried here. He felt more wronged than Dou E, and waved his hands hurriedly:

"Impossible, impossible. I'm not that hungry for her looks. I just demonstrated the art of controlling fire to him, so I should be hot. Don't misunderstand me, fellow Taoist!"

He spoke directly, intending to completely dispel Luo Kai's concerns.

Luo Kai's expression eased a little, but he said: "What's wrong with her appearance... Never mind, she used to be very beautiful, you don't understand!"

Zhao Rui said hurriedly: "I really don't understand. I am devoted to cultivating the Dao and never have any romantic feelings in my heart. Our sect has a taboo. Before building the foundation, one must remain a virgin. Daoist friend, rest assured!"

Luo Kai gradually felt a little guilty and said, "Friend Zhao, I'm sorry. I wrongly blamed you. Please don't take it to heart."

"I understand, I understand. Love is the most difficult thing to untie."

Luo Kai blushed slightly and said, "This..., Brother Zhao, you must not tell anyone about this. Please keep it a secret for me."

Zhao Rui smiled and said, "Don't worry! We were just exchanging ideas just now. But Fellow Daoist Luo, I still have something to say to you. Pick the flowers when they are in bloom, and don't wait until there are no flowers left to pluck."

"When flowers are in bloom, they must be picked!" Luo Kai repeated. After a long while, he shook his head and clasped his fists, saying, "Daoyou Zhao, I'm sorry to bother you. I'll go back first."

Zhao Rui watched the other party leave, and when there was no one in the cave, he suddenly sighed and said, "Don't wait until there are no flowers to break the branches!"

He thought of many past events and wondered if the person far away was well!

Zhao Rui was lost in thought for a moment before he took out a jade slip from his sleeve and immersed his consciousness into it.

A huge amount of information came into my mind, and the first sentence read:

Yao Yi is a spy from the Soul Kingdom!

A huge wave of emotion surged in Zhao Rui's heart, and he hurriedly continued to look down.

The jade slip not only introduced Yao Yi's identity, the skills he practiced,

In addition to the magic spells he was proficient in, he also had a lot of knowledge related to formations, which ultimately led to a conclusion that surprised Zhao Rui.

Yao Yi did not want to use the formation to escape, but to connect to the teleportation formation of another Soul Kingdom so that the cultivators of the Soul Kingdom could be teleported over and control this large mine quietly.

Their plan was to tamper with the spiritual stones, wait for the critical moment to activate them, and catch the State of Jin off guard.

At the end of the letter, Mei Yulan wrote in her beautiful handwriting:

As a cultivator from the State of Jin, I hope you will not help the evil. You don't need to do anything, just stop the formation at the critical moment. I will report to the court afterwards and restore your freedom.

After reading the jade slip, Zhao Rui fell into deep thought. Unconsciously, he seemed to be caught in a terrible vortex again.

Who to believe?

Should I ask Yao Yi about this?

Will it alert the enemy?

If I withdraw now...it seems that I can't get off the boat!

Zhao Rui was thinking about it so much that his head hurt. He wanted to talk to Qian Xiaoyi about it, but after much hesitation, he decided to give up.

At a time like this, you must not be impatient!

Two days later.

As usual, Qian Xiaoyi brought a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun.

Zhao Rui pretended to be nothing, picked up the bowl of porridge and took a sip, saying: "Here is the steamed bun, you can eat it!"

Qian Xiaoyi chuckled and grabbed the steamed bun and started eating it.

The two of them ate their meals, and the only sounds left in the cave were the sounds of drinking porridge and chewing, and a brief silence ensued.

After a moment, he put the bowl of porridge aside and said, "Senior Yao came to me a few days ago and asked me a very difficult question."

Qian Xiaoyi's cheeks puffed up, and he asked while chewing: "What's the problem?"

"Nothing much, just asking me how many spirit stones can be nurtured in one day by the Five Elements Return to Origin Technique."

"It's just a random talk, he hasn't practiced it before..." Qian Xiaoyi was halfway through his words when he suddenly realized something was wrong and asked, "How did he know that you were practicing the Five Elements Return to Origin Technique?"

Zhao Rui looked serious, staring at Qian Xiaoyi and asked, "Yes! How did he know that?"

Qian Xiaoyi swallowed the rest of the steamed bun with a gulp, his eyes rolling and beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

After a while, he said, "Xiong Ditai, it's Xiong Ditai. When I bought the "Eternal Spring Secret" from him, he asked me a lot of questions, so I mentioned it, but I didn't say anything else."

After Qian Xiaoyi finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Rui anxiously and said, "Fellow Daoist, think about your motives. What motive would I have to betray you? It's just the name of a technique. Besides, it's not like I haven't seen that technique before. If they really knew something, we can still stay here safely."

Zhao Rui sighed, took out a plain jade slip and said, "Take a look at it, and we'll discuss it after you've read it."

Qian Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the jade slip, placed it on his forehead and began to read it.

After a while, Qian Xiaoyi finished reading, and the moment he opened his eyes, he cursed: "How dare you Yao Turtle put eye drops on your master Qian."

Zhao Rui made a hushing gesture, then made a hand gesture and held up a golden light shield.

Qian Xiaoyi lowered his voice and said, "Friend Zhao, Yao Yi is obviously trying to alienate our relationship and make you distance yourself from me. Although I don't know his motives, his method is too obvious."

"It's not important anymore. The question now is what should we do? Behind them is a battle between nations. If we take a wrong step, we will be wiped out."

Qian Xiaoyi frowned and kept walking around in the cave, saying, "We are not monks from the Jin State. It has nothing to do with us. It is better to confront Yao Yi. We have something on him."

Zhao Rui shook his head and said, "We are not Soul Nation cultivators. Yao Yi is in the middle stage of foundation building. If we provoke him, he will kill us both."

Qian Xiaoyi sat down on the ground in dejection.

The two of them were silent for an unknown amount of time before Qian Xiaoyi's eyes suddenly lit up. He grabbed Zhao Rui's sleeve and said,

"We don't care about anyone, let's go."
