Chapter 126: Missing Li Yehe (I)

"Is that the Li family's painted boat?"

"It seems so, but the Li family has offended Prince Yu, so how dare they be so ostentatious?"

"Hush, stop talking. This skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The fight between Prince Yu and the Li family has nothing to do with us. The Li family is not something that ordinary people like us can afford to provoke."

"Hey, who are these people?"

The boatmen couldn't avoid gossiping after a busy day. One of them, who was leaning against a pile of cargo boxes and chewing a dry and hard steamed bun, looked towards the dock curiously when he heard what was said.

The first person to get off the boat was a beautiful girl with a lively and innocent face, followed by a woman in plain clothes with a half-tied bun.

Behind him are two men wearing veiled hats, one dressed in red and the other in blue. From the way they walk, one can see that they each have different styles of elegance and grace.

The woman in the blue embroidered silk skirt followed closely behind the man in blue. Although she lowered her head, she was also a beauty with outstanding looks.

Many of them were familiar with the man in black tights who appeared later.

Isn’t this the Li family’s security guard Feng Yan?
When he came back from this trip, he brought back so many strangers. Could it be that these people were the "experts" he invited to help the Li family resolve the disaster?
Now everyone in Qicheng knows that the Li family has been beset with evil spirits recently.

Some people said that the Li family was suffering retribution for the dirty deeds they had done in the past and the vengeful spirits of those evil deeds had come to claim their lives. Others said that someone was behind the scenes harming the Li family and wanted to cause unrest among the entire family.

But among this group of people, it is really hard to tell who is the "expert" among them.

Because these men and women are not only young, but also dressed quite normally, unlike those hermits with profound Taoist skills.

"What are you looking at, ugly thing? Hurry up and go to work. You eat so slowly. Don't you want your wages today?" A fierce roar came from a hoarse voice.

The man who was distracted by a certain woman was immediately awakened. He looked at the contractor in panic: "I, I will work, I will work now, sorry, I will come right away."

The man was not annoyed when people called him "ugly". He just put on a silly smile in a flattering and naive manner.

He knew that he was ugly. He had several scars on his face that ran the entire length of his face. In addition, he did hard labor, was unkempt, and had no time or energy to take care of himself, which made him look even shabby and ugly.

Therefore, the boatmen either called him "ugly" or "big fool".

Those who called him "big fool" were considered to be the ones who treated him well. He knew that he was stupid and slow to react, and except for his strength, he was inferior to others in nothing else.

"Hey, contractor, the Li family needs a few strong men to move the goods. Do you have any free hands?" A man called out from a distance.

When the contractor heard that there was business, he quickly responded, "Yes, yes." In fact, several of his boatmen all had tasks to do, and they must be exhausted after finishing their work.

But he turned around and said to the person behind him: "Ugly freak, hurry up and pack up and go help."

The ugly guy quickly responded: "Okay, I'll go right away."

The ugly guy chewed the bun in no time, clapped his hands, and followed others to work foolishly.

Feng Yan was arranging people to move goods from the cabin at the dock, but his eyes were always on Huai Liao.

Huai Liao, the man with a black mole at the corner of his mouth, is about twenty years old, with a square face. He doesn't look outstanding, but he has a silent and upright look that easily makes people let down their guard.

Master Xu told him to wait and see and let nature take its course, but Huai Liao didn't seem to be making any unusual moves. Could it be that Master Xu was mistaken?

Feng Yan was beginning to waver, but Huai Liao suddenly showed a painful expression, and then ran over, holding his stomach: "Guardian Feng, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, can I go to the bathroom first?"

When Feng Yan heard this, a strange feeling surged in his heart. He looked at Huai Liao with an inquiring look and agreed immediately: "Then you should go quickly and come back soon." Huai Liao was stunned.

He looked at Feng Yan, somewhat surprised by his current attitude.

Although Feng Yan has always been very tolerant towards the servants of the Li family, he would still scold them if they interrupted or made excuses when they were doing important work.

But now... he agreed without even asking, which is too...

"It must be because of the unclean food I ate last night. I feel sick this morning. Don't delay. Go and come back quickly."

Feng Yan added one more sentence, which instantly dispelled Huai Liao's hesitation.

After Huai Liao left, Feng Yan, breathing rapidly, immediately followed Xu Shanshan to report the matter.

Xu Shanshan left Nangong Yu, Huai Gu and Chunsheng behind, and called Li Niaoniao and Feng Yan to a secluded place.

"Turning the world around, responding to the pardon order, the world is boundless..."

She pinched her fingers and injected dark golden light into a paper figure, then placed it on the ground.

Li Niaoniao and Feng Yan were quite familiar with the routines of these little paper figures. They had previously imitated the behavior of Nangong Yu's family so vividly.

So when the little paper man appeared this time, and they saw it moving around stealthily and furtively, they reacted immediately.

It is now simulating someone's behavior...could it be Huai Liao who left?

The little paper figure "walked" and finally stopped. Although it had no mouth, it uttered a voice: "The situation has changed. This time, Feng Yan not only brought back Li Niaoniao, but also brought back a mysterious woman with great abilities. You should go back and report quickly. I'm afraid something has changed."

Feng Yan’s eyes widened when he heard that.

“This is Huai Liao’s voice!”

This little paper figure can not only synchronize with Huai Liao, but can even convey the sound of his voice.

"Sister Shanshan, what is it?" Li Niaoniao finally couldn't help but ask.

"Paper Figure Technique."

The other party might have said something like, "Isn't it just a woman? Huai Liao, have you been an undercover agent for too long? Are you suspicious of everything?"

The little paper man said again: "I'm not talking nonsense. That woman's name is Shanshan. I saw it with my own eyes. She was able to defeat Wu Xi. If no one had rescued her, I'm afraid Wu Xi would have died there. So you still think she is just a woman who is not worth worrying about?"

After a while, the little paper man said, "How is Li Yehe now? I suspect the first thing they will do when they return to the Li family is to investigate Li Yehe's affairs."

I don’t know what the other party said, Huai Liao was both excited and angry.

"What, he's missing?! Wu Yi specially transferred his soul for him, locked him up and handed him over to you for guarding, but you lost him? Don't you know what his condition is now? If he dies unexpectedly outside, what will happen to the Dark Emperor? We still need the help of the Dark Emperor's power!"

After a while, the little paper man said in a cold tone: "This matter can only be handled when Wu Yi comes back. You must do your best to find her. I have to leave first, so as not to arouse Feng Yan's suspicion if I leave for too long."

After hearing this, Li Niaoniao and Feng Yan probably understood some terrible inside stories.

Feng Yan's face turned pale, but at the same time his heart was filled with unspeakable fear. He felt as if a thick "dark cloud" was tightly covering the Li family's head, making it hard for him to breathe.

Li Niaoniao didn't speak a word until the end, then she asked blankly: "Sister Shanshan, what is soul transfer?"
