C715 Listen to the Sound of the Thief
Du Qi felt extremely satisfied when he felt the various fluctuations in the surroundings, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath of foul air. Just as he was about to circulate his cultivation to regulate his breathing, he heard the woman timidly ask in a low voice, "Brother, are you asleep?"
The man answered lazily, "Not yet."
The woman's spirits were refreshed, and she turned around and asked, "Brother, are we still going to search for that person tomorrow?"
The man said matter-of-factly, "If we don't look for him, what are we doing here? Where can we go? Little sister, be good. Don't ask anymore. Go to sleep. We still have to hurry tomorrow."
The woman indeed did not speak. However, after a short while, the woman could not help but ask, "Brother, are we really, really going to look for that person?"
The man said gently, "Little sister, please think about it. Other than that, do we have any other choice?"
The woman seemed to be a little worried as she asked, "Brother, is that person reliable?"
The man said, "Little sister, don't worry. If he dares to have disloyalty, I will definitely not let him off lightly!"
The woman advised again, "Brother, we should be careful in everything. We are not like before. No one cares about our feelings, and no one cares about our life or death."
The man seemed to be a little emotional as he said, "That's right. In the past, we were so awe-inspiring. There were always a lot of people following behind us. Where could we not be treated as distinguished guests? But now, no one asked us where we went. If it wasn't for Brother Fang's help, we still know what kind of situation it is? "
The woman said, "Brother, actually, what Xu Yang said makes sense. His people are also quite good..."
Before the woman could finish, the man shouted," Don't say anything good about him in front of me. If it wasn't for the Breeze Camp and Maple Forest Mountain Manor coming to me for no reason, you would have been dead already. How could we have lost our families? If you think he's good, don't acknowledge me as your brother. You can go with him!"
Hearing the man's words, Du Qi suddenly remembered that the siblings were Zhang Tianxiang and Zhang Xiuyi from the Bright Moon Castle. He didn't know why their families were destroyed, nor did he know who and what they were looking for in this remote town.
Perhaps because he felt that the tone of the voice was a little harsh, Zhang Tianxiang quickly said softly, "Little sister, it's not that I can't tolerate it. Think about it. If it wasn't for Huang Lingfeng, how would we have suffered a crushing defeat that day? If it wasn't for Xu Yang, how would we have been so passive that day? Now that we have nothing, it's already fortunate that they don't laugh at us. Why would they help us out of kindness? The reason Xu Yang expressed his goodwill to us is because he covets little sister's beauty! That Huang Lingfeng had always been petty. Now, he had also changed into a magnanimous manner. It was obvious that he had ulterior motives. Little sister, you are pure and innocent. If you can't distinguish between good and bad, you will be easily deceived by them. I am very experienced in the Jianghu. I won't fall for their trick!"
Zhang Xiuyi said worriedly, "Brother, I know that you are doing this for my own good, but I am still worried."
Zhang Tianxiang yawned and said vaguely, "Little sister, don't worry. Quickly go to sleep. Once you are rested, you will have the energy to travel and deal with other things tomorrow."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiuyi indeed did not speak anymore. She cast aside her worries and slowly fell asleep.
Although Du Qi had some thoughts in his heart, he did not have any relationship with Zhang Tianxiang and Zhang Xiuyi after all. He only had a good impression of Xu Yang in Breeze Camp, so he was only listening to their conversation when he was bored. He did not think about it carefully, nor did he have any other thoughts. Therefore, he held his breath and focused his mind, instantly entering the state of forgetting both things and himself.
Suddenly, a strange sound broke the harmonious atmosphere around him and entered Du Qi's ears very abruptly.
Hearing this sound, Du Qi immediately knew what was going on. He hurriedly stopped his cultivation and spread his mind power in all directions. Like a giant net, he covered the entire town and the surrounding areas to investigate the source of the strange sound and the situation nearby.
Although it was only a vague outline, Du Qi couldn't help but be overjoyed. This time, the feeling was clearly clearer than the last time he was on the Yellow Mountain ship. The general situation of the entire town was immediately reflected in Du Qi's sea of consciousness. Unfortunately, it was like looking at flowers in the fog. The moon in the water was not clear.
Du Qi saw that there were no abnormalities in other places. There was only a strange sound, as if something was moving. So he focused his mind and vaguely felt that there were two people hiding on the roof and moving towards the inn they were staying at. Judging from their careful looks, they probably wouldn't make any noise. But Du Qi clearly heard the sound and found out about their hiding place. Could it be that they did it on purpose? Was it to lure them into being fooled?
"Pa!" A slight sound was heard again. Although Du Qi had been paying attention to their movements, he still did not know how the sound came from, because even the two people involved did not notice it. He still carefully moved forward in the dark like before, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Although Du Qi had discovered those two people, he did not know the background of those two people, so he did not know if those two people were passing by, had other intentions, or had come for them.
"Pa!" Just as he was in deep thought, another soft sound was heard. Du Qi could not help but feel even more strange. It was understandable that the Nightwalker had accidentally made one or two strange sounds. If they made one sound after another, and even they themselves did not know anything about it, it would be unusual. This wasn't the only thing that surprised Du Qi. That sound wasn't an ordinary sound. It was a sound that could only be heard when it was deliberately done. If Du Qi was not using his skill to adjust his breathing and mind. It was impossible to hear these strange sounds! From this, it could be seen that someone had already set up a trap in this place, waiting for the two people. In fact, there was a possibility that even more people had fallen in, but those two people were completely unaware. They continued to advance forward unhurriedly. Du Qi could not help but feel worried for those two people.
While they were walking, those two people suddenly lowered their bodies and jumped down without hesitation. They quickly hid in the shadows at the foot of the wall and carefully investigated the surrounding situation. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, the two of them straightened their bodies. Following the foot of the wall, they came to the front door of a tall building and used hand gestures to clarify their actions and missions. One of them leaned against the wall with his back facing his companions as a warning, while the other leaned against the door. With a slight gesture, a knife with a slit wrist slipped out of his sleeve and into his palm. He then turned his wrist and stuck the sharp knife into the crack of the door, pulling it up and down. It was obvious that he wanted to open the door, but it took him a long time to open the door.
Just as the man was in a hurry, a person appeared behind him on his right side like a ghost. He said softly, "You can't open it?"
The man said without even turning his head, "Shh! It's almost done. Why didn't you bring the wind here?"
Then the man said, "What are we doing this time?"
The man who was opening the door said softly, "You're asking me, who am I going to ask? Go get wind of it!"
