Chapter 418: Chapter 263: Catch Them Off Guard! Immortal Crane Divine Needle! Fire! (Requesting Subscriptions)

Duan Yun and the Murong brothers waited.

They had been eating sweet potatoes at Lingyu Palace for two days but still hadn’t been summoned by the elder.

They wanted to take action deliberately but had to be cautious.

They had been to dangerous places before, such as the Ghost Manor in the Martial World, where they had ventured deep and fought fiercely, leading to the storyteller slandering them, saying they were the most terrifying existence, a lingering nightmare for the surviving assassins of the Manor.

If the Netherworld Manor’s buildings were tall, like a giant’s dwelling, oppressive and solemn, then Mingyu Palace seemed much more approachable.

Not cornfields, but sweet potato fields; if not for the grandeur of Lingyu Palace, one might mistake it for a large farmstead.

However, this ordinariness was just its facade; the seemingly peaceful sweet potato fields occasionally revealed Mingyu Palace disciples working, just like ordinary farmers.

This too was a famous sight of the Mingyu Palace.

A group of women, looking icy and ethereal, digging sweet potatoes in the fields—it was a scene as paradoxical as "Even beautiful girls fart."

If you were misled by its superficial calmness, thinking its defenses were lax, you would be wrong.

Whether inside the Lingyu Palace or in the tranquil sweet potato fields, numerous hidden mechanisms were concealed.

As for what would happen if the mechanisms were triggered, Murong brothers could predict just one or two.

One such mechanism they nearly set off seemed interconnected.

If your Qinggong skills were inadequate, you would likely become a pincushion of arrows, or if you were lucky and proficient in Qinggong, soaring into the sky, your fate would be to get entangled in a net and then turned into a pincushion, perhaps even "braised pincushion."

For experts like the Murong brothers and Duan Yun, these series of mechanisms were not life-threatening, but they couldn’t reveal themselves yet.

Up to now, they had not found any clues about Ning Qing and Ziyu, so they had to maintain the identity of two clever characters.

The two felt that dragging on like this was unacceptable, so they had already made plans.

Once summoned by the elder, they would look for an opportunity to inquire about the whereabouts of Ning Qing and Ziyu.

If necessary, they could opt for an unethical stealth attack, capture the elder Yang Li, and forcibly extract the information or demand the release of the captives.

They had realized that in Mingyu Palace, the higher the rank, the more information one had, and the more capable they were at solving problems.

Ordinary small fry were truly useless.

At noon that day, the red-dressed woman who had chosen them previously in the tea garden arrived.

Seeing the two of them, the formerly disdainful look on the red-dressed woman’s face had vanished.

Previously, she had disdained the worldly Murong brothers, but now her face was full of warmth.

"In the future, we are all disciples of the elder, just call me Sister Qing."

The red-dressed woman, Sister Qing, knew that the two had performed well in their test and had arrived at Lingyu Palace in a matter of half a month. If they could please the master a few more times, they might become key figures in the Lingyu Palace.

At this time, it was necessary to foster good relationships.

The Martial World is full of deceit and killing, but it is also a place of social niceties.

"Sisters, the master summons you."

After exchanging pleasantries, Sister Qing got to the point.

Hearing this, Duan Yun and the Murong brothers suddenly weren’t tired anymore.

They didn’t like social niceties; they preferred saving lives and slaying demons.

Their plan had finally moved a step forward. novelbuddy-cσ๓

Duan Yun and the Murong brothers followed behind Sister Qing.

Sister Qing couldn’t help but start introducing Lingyu Palace to them.

"Sisters, since you have just arrived, don’t wander around; there are many hidden mechanisms here, and taking the wrong path could mean no return," warned Sister Qing.

The Murong brothers quickly replied, "When we came in, Sister had already warned us, so we don’t dare go to another toilet pit."

Sister Qing laughed and said, "Sister Mu Rong is really humorous."

If this comment were made in the past, the Murong brothers would have been considered crude and frivolous, and even now Sister Qing thought so.

But she wouldn’t say it out loud.

Because of the significance of White Tiger and immortal crane, unbeknownst to them, the Murong brothers and Duan Yun had become figures worth befriending within Mingyu Palace.

Especially the Murong brothers, the significance of White Tiger had already spread in Mingyu Palace.

At that moment, Sister Qing couldn’t help but ask, "Sister Mu Rong, is the White Tiger Girl Painting like this? Look, I got this one and it’s all blurred."

Saying this, she pulled out a painting of the White Tiger Girl and asked Murong brothers for guidance.

The Murong brothers looked at the somewhat abstract White Tiger Girl Painting and said, "Sister Qing, this painting is not particularly similar; after I meet the elder, I will personally paint one for you."

"Thank you, sister," said Sister Qing, unable to resist linking arms with the Murong brothers, a gesture of unusual warmth.

Thinking back to her previous summons and her mockery of the Murong brothers, it was truly a case of initial arrogance followed by subsequent courtesy, which was amusing.

At that moment, the Murong brothers tried asking, "Sister, if someone here makes a mistake, would they be locked up somewhere?"

Seeing the red-dressed woman looking at them, they quickly explained, "We are very honest and won’t make mistakes; we just want to understand."

Sister Qing smiled and said, "Don’t worry, Mingyu Palace clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments. If someone makes a minor mistake, they will be locked up in the Jade Water Prison; more severe cases won’t be so simple."

"You sisters won’t encounter such matters. After staying here a while, you will understand."
