Chapter 264 Killer Guard

"If you climb in from here, you can find Old Wu."

The exiled old man squatted beside a wall, pointed at the top of the wall and whispered.

Fu Qingzhou was sweating coldly: "Old man, isn't this a thief?"

"Oh, who am I!"

The exiled old man patted his chest and said, "I am one of the three great masters of the Wulin League! Can the path I took you on be considered as stealing?"

Fu Qingzhou raised his neck stiffly and looked at the wall.

"Mr. Wu, is it behind the wall?" His tone was full of distrust.

"Of course not."

The exiled old man grinned and said, "Back here is the toilet of Old Wu's alchemy room. No matter how hard he tries to avoid people, he must go to the toilet, right? After you find the toilet, follow the path and you will find the back door of the alchemy room. The door must be unlocked, so you can find him when you go in."

Fu Qingzhou: “…”

"Don't worry." The exiled old man patted his shoulder and said, "I'll take your money and make sure you get the job done. If anyone finds you, tell me my name and I'll make sure you're okay!"

Given your reputation in the Wulin Alliance, reporting your name would probably be a bigger problem...

Fu Qingzhou shook his head: "Forget it, in an emergency, I will do what I want, so I'll just be a thief!"

He no longer hesitated, jumped up, and disappeared over the wall in the blink of an eye.

The exiled old man watched him disappear, his smile turned into relief, he reached out and stroked his long beard, nodded slightly: "This is the strange man, he is really extraordinary."

"I am here to lend you a helping hand this time. I hope you can really help them get out of this endless sea of ​​suffering."

On this side, after Fu Qingzhou climbed over the high wall, he found a smelly toilet just a few steps away from where he landed.

He pinched his nose and looked forward - it was just as the exiled old man said, a gravel path stretched forward, and there was a small building in front.

It was already dark at this time, and the small building was brightly lit. Even through the window paper, one could see the raging flames. It must be the alchemy room.

"It's OK. Although the old charlatan is evil, the direction he points out is correct."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "It's true that you can do great things with little money."

Walking along the path, we soon approached the small building. Just as the exiled old man said, it was a back door, which was not locked but ajar.

"Don't scare Master Wu later..."

Fu Qingzhou let out a light breath, trying to make his expression look kind and humble, walked forward and stretched out his hand to push the door.

But the moment the door was pushed open, a strong warning exploded in his mind!
A cold light flashed, and a sword light with extremely murderous intent came from the crack in the door!

Fu Qingzhou's muscles tensed instantly, and he bent backwards like an iron bridge, narrowly avoiding the sword.

But as the sword scraped past his face, he saw it clearly...

Is this the rapier from Xiyu Pavilion? !
The next moment, he did a back flip and took three steps back, his eyes fixed on the figure that appeared behind the small door.

"Wu Yan?!"

Fu Qingzhou's eyes widened: "Why is it you again?!"

That’s right, the person who attacked with a sword from behind the door was not someone else, but Wu Yan, whom he had just dealt with yesterday!

He was dressed in red, holding a rapier, and there was a hint of surprise on his usually calm face.

"why you?"

He frowned and asked, "Are you here to kill someone?"

"What a mess?" Fu Qingzhou frowned, holding the hilt of the long sword tightly with his right hand: "Are you going to attack Master Wu?"

"I?"

Wu Yan shook his head: "I'm here to protect him."

Fu Qingzhou subconsciously wanted to say he didn't believe it, but then he remembered that he was hired to protect Ning Wushu the day before...

"Wu Yan, Master Wu?" He blurted out, "You are not a relative of this Master Wu, are you?"

"There are tens of thousands of people with the last name Wu in this world." Wu Yan said expressionlessly, "I am just carrying out my mission."

Seeing that he did not raise his sword to attack again, Fu Qingzhou believed it a little more and asked in confusion, "Are you saying that someone hired you to protect Master Wu?"

"good."

Wu Yan nodded: "In the past few days, someone may have taken action against him."

Fu Qingzhou's eyes paused.

Someone wants to take action against Master Wu... Is it the little prince of Beiyi?

Wu Yan's employer not only knew that Beiyi wanted to kill Ning Wushu, but also knew that they would attack Master Wu, so he hired Xiyu Pavilion for protection!
Yes, if not, how could Jiang Baichuan allow Wu Yan to appear in his headquarters?
No matter how powerful this killer is, there is no way he can kill someone from the Wulin Alliance under the nose of a Dongtian Five Realms master.

Wait, think about it from another angle. If Jiang Baichuan was on the side of Beiyi, why would he let the assassins from Xiyu Pavilion enter his territory to protect Master Wu?
This is so strange...

Thinking of this, he decided not to dwell on it and focus on the present, so he smiled and said, "Is there no one left in Xiyu Pavilion? Why is it always you who is sent here?"

Wu Yan slowly put away the rapier and said softly, "What happens in my pavilion has nothing to do with you."

"alright."

Fu Qingzhou spread his hands and said, "Since we have no conflict at the moment, please let me meet Master Wu."

"No." Wu Yan stood at the back door, his eyes firm: "My mission is to ensure that no one can get close to the target."

Fu Qingzhou rolled his eyes and said, "I have a way to directly catch those who want to attack Master Wu. Then you don't have to bother guarding here, right?"

"What you said has nothing to do with me."

Wu Yan said calmly: "I am only carrying out the mission."

Fu Qingzhou sighed.

He now has two choices...either to defeat Wu Yan and go directly to find Master Wu; or to shout a few times to lure Master Wu out.

But the latter choice...will definitely attract the attention of others.

Not only would he not be able to explain himself for climbing over the wall to find Master Wu, but the "military secrets" that Ning Wushu mentioned might also be exposed, which would be really troublesome.

"Don't be so stubborn."

Fu Qingzhou said softly: "Our goals do not conflict, don't force me to do it."

Hearing him say this, Wu Yan remained expressionless, and once again drew out the rapier he had just put away.

Fu Qingzhou frowned slightly.

He didn't really want to do it.

If we start a fight here, if we can't deal with Wu Yan in a short time, we will have to attract people from the Wulin Alliance.

"How about this."

He suddenly laughed: "Since you are the target of protection, then I won't break through. Can you pass on a message for me?"

Wu Yan: “?”

"What's the matter? Isn't it normal for a bodyguard to pass on a message?" Fu Qingzhou blinked: "If Master Wu really doesn't want to see me, then let's talk about it. Can you help me inform the general manager?"

Wu Yan: "I... am not a bodyguard."

"Isn't your job just to be a guard?" Fu Qingzhou said with a smile, "I know you are inflexible, so I will teach you - just tell Master Wu that someone wants to steal his magic pill. If this continues, he will not be able to continue to make pills with peace of mind. But I have a way to directly catch the mastermind behind the scenes, but I need Master Wu's cooperation."

Wu Yan frowned, as if thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

Just then, an old and dull voice came from behind him.

"Who? Who wants to steal my magic pill? Who are you?"
