Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

Shi Qi's words were filled with a hint of annoyance, but she soon regained her composure, with a determined light in her eyes. "We have to contact Murong Xue as soon as possible. We can't let her act alone and get into danger."

After saying that, Shi Qi took out the light screen and contacted Murong Xue again.

On the screen, dots of light flickered, as if trying to connect to Murong Xue in the distance. After a moment, Murong Xue's slightly puzzled face appeared on the screen. She seemed to be in a quiet valley, surrounded by lush greenery. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows.

"Shi Qi, you're looking for me? What's the matter?" There was a hint of surprise in Murong Xue's voice, and she was obviously surprised by Shi Qi's sudden contact.

Shi Qi quickly explained: "Murongxue, I forgot to tell you that you can come here alone with the things I gave you, and you don't need to bring Murong Yao and Yuhuan with you. Zhongliyuan and I have now returned to Zhongzhou safely, but the situation here is a bit complicated, and I am worried that you will be in danger if you bring them with you."

Murong Xue heard this, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but then she nodded firmly: "I understand, Shi Qi. I will act carefully and come to meet you as soon as possible."

"Okay, be careful on the road. If you encounter any difficulties, remember to contact me using the communication symbol." Shi Qi reminded.

After hanging up the call, Shi Qi looked at Zhong Liyuan, who was listening attentively to her conversation with Murong Xue, his eyes full of concern. She smiled slightly and said softly, "Don't worry, Murong Xue is very smart, she will take good care of herself."

Zhongli Yuan and Yun Che nodded at the same time, agreeing with Shi Qi's words.

Just when everyone was feeling a little relieved, Yun Che suddenly frowned, as if he had sensed something unusual. "Boss Shi Qi, the situation in Zhongzhou is more complicated than we expected. We must not only be alert to external dangers, but also guard against internal changes."

Shi Qi's expression became serious when he heard this. "Yun Che is right. We can't let our guard down. Xiao Yuan'er, have you received any new intelligence or news?"

Zhongli Yuan pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Indeed, Uncle, I heard about it when I was in Dongling Country. Recently, rumors have been spreading in Zhongzhou City. It seems that an unknown force is secretly operating. Their purpose is not yet clear, but it obviously poses a potential threat to our actions."

Shi Qi clenched his fists, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. "In this case, we must speed up our pace, not only to find a solution to the current predicament, but also to ensure Murong Xue's safety. At the same time, we must also strengthen our vigilance to prevent any accidents from happening."

"Yes, uncle is right." Zhong Liyuan nodded, his eyes flashing with determination, "I will continue to pay attention to the movements in Fengnan Country and Zhongzhou City to ensure the timely transmission of information."

Yun Che also added: "I will strengthen our defensive formation and train everyone's ability to deal with emergencies. After all, real battles often begin with the unknown."

A few days later, Murong Xue finally arrived in Zhongzhou. She walked briskly through the bustling streets of Zhongzhou. Her eyes showed both anticipation for unknown challenges and joy for the upcoming reunion with her friends. The sun shone through the clouds and onto her resolute face, adding a bit of tenderness and tenacity to her.

"We're finally here, Zhongzhou." Murong Xue whispered to herself, then quickened her pace and rushed towards the place she had agreed to meet with Shi Qi.

Along the way, she noticed that the atmosphere in Zhongzhou City was indeed much more tense than usual. The faces of the passers-by showed a bit of vigilance and uneasiness, as if everyone was silently bearing some invisible pressure.

Arriving at the agreed location, Murong Xue immediately saw Shi Qi and Zhong Liyuan who were waiting anxiously. They both smiled with relief when they saw Murong Xue return safely.

"Murongxue, you're finally here!" Shi Qi quickly stepped forward and gave Murongxue a big hug. "We are relieved to see that you are okay."

Murong Xue responded with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Although there were some twists and turns on the road, I finally arrived safely."

When Zhong Liyuan saw Shi Qi let go of Murong Xue, he walked up to her and hugged her, "Murong, I miss you so much. What happened to you in the Western Regions? Why can't I contact you since the emperor's uncle contacted me that day?"

Murong Xue gently patted Zhong Liyuan on the back, her eyes full of tenderness and apology, "Silly~, I'm sorry, I just encountered some emergencies and made you worried. I did encounter a lot of troubles during the trip to the Western Region, so I was unable to reply to you in time. But fortunately, everything is over."

Zhongli Yuan let go of Murong Xue and asked, "You're in trouble! What kind of trouble are you in? Are you hurt?"

Shi Qi coughed lightly, interrupting their conversation, "Let's go back to the inn first! There are too many people here."

The three of them returned to the inn and sat down in Shi Qi's room.

Yun Che pushed the door open at this time. He had just come back from outside to gather information, and his face was a little solemn. “I just learned that recently there has been an unknown force operating in secret in Zhongzhou City. They seem to be looking for some lost treasure. Moreover, this force seems to be involved with several large families in Zhongzhou.”

Shi Qi nodded and said to Yun Che, “Please sit down first. Let’s listen to Murong Xue finish her story.” After that, she poured Yun Che a cup of hot tea and handed it to him.

Yun Che took the tea, thanked her, and sat on the stool to look at Murong Xue.

Murong Xue saw Yun Che was stunned for a moment, a trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled at Yun Che, "Hello, who are you?"

Shi Qi took over the conversation, "His name is Yun Che, and he is my new disciple."

Murong Xue looked at Shi Qi, smiled and nodded, saying: "He's your apprentice, then it's okay." As she spoke, Murong Xue relaxed her body, and the trace of vigilance in her eyes disappeared.

Shi Qi saw Yun Che took the tea, so she poured three more cups of hot tea. After she handed one to Murong Xue and Zhong Li Yuan, she also picked up a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "Drink some tea to warm yourself up first, then we'll talk in detail."

Murong Xue took the teacup and took a sip, feeling the warmth spreading from her throat to her heart. She then spoke slowly, "When I was in the Western Regions, I encountered a group of unidentified attackers who seemed to know everything about our actions."

"I was on my way to look for Murong Yao and the others, and then Shi Qi told me that I didn't need to look for them yet, and asked me to come to Zhongzhou by myself first, and then I changed my route to this road to Zhongzhou."

"On the way, a group of people suddenly attacked me. After I drove them away, I found that the jade bracelet that Shi Qi gave me, which could be used for communication, had stopped responding. I could not get in touch with you, nor could I go directly to Zhongzhou."

"Then, I traveled for several days and finally arrived in Zhongzhou. During these days on the road, I found that... the little dragon mark on my arm was getting fainter and fainter. It should be the work of the people who attacked me."
