Chapter 1396: Stay
Revisiting an old place is usually a happy, joyful and nostalgic experience.

But Yang Yiyi was not happy at all now, she just felt very uncomfortable.

The cliff that Yang Yiyi climbed up was exactly the one she jumped off, even the location was exactly the same.

Although Li Chengxi didn't see how Yang Yiyi jumped down at that time, he had seen the predecessors who jumped down before her. You know what, the crooked tree on the edge of the cliff has not changed.

Ahead of here is a field of tall wild grass, further ahead is a bamboo forest, and further ahead is the Liu family's house, so you can't see what the Liu family looks like from here.

"Brother Li, are you really going to let me go?"

"I didn't ask you to charge in alone."

Li Chengxi rubbed his eyes, which were a little sore from staying up late, and said:

"Go around and take a look. Don't get too close to the Liu family. It's best to find a place where you can see the gate and hide there first."

It is too troublesome to go back to Wujiazhuang from Taoyuan Valley and then follow Sun Wei to Liu's house.

Of course, the most important reason is that Li Chengxi does not want Yang Yiyi to act as a thug for the Plum Blossom Guard in dealing with the Liu family matter.

Even if you can wear a mask to avoid revealing your identity, it will be out in the open, and it will be difficult to do things in the open that cannot be known by others.

For example, check whether the Liu family still has the Sky-supporting Stone.

Yang Yiyi has killed three elders of the Liu family, and each time it was related to the Sky-lifting Stone. The benefits that Tianlang taught this lackey of the Liu family were also mainly based on the Sky-lifting Stone.

But Yang Yiyi had only run into it three times in total. God knows how many transactions the Liu family had made with the Sirius Cult. Maybe they still have stocks of the Sky-lifting Stone.

The priesthood of strength has returned, and the science fiction script has also been started. The Skystone has no appeal to Li Chengxi, but it can add some points to Yang Yiyi.

Naturally, the more, the better.

When Sun Wei came to him yesterday, Li Chengxi was thinking about how to secretly get the Sky-supporting Stone. Even if there was no Eagle Daddy incident, Li Chengxi would definitely let Yang Yiyi act alone.

It was still early, and Yang Yiyi carefully entered the bamboo forest like a thief who came to tread on a plate. She looked around as she walked, for fear of being discovered.

Although the Liu family's dungeon left a deep psychological trauma on Yang Yiyi, Yang Yiyi did not have much impression of the environment outside the dungeon.

When she broke the lock and escaped, she was discovered as soon as she came out of the dungeon. A large group of people, including Yang Yiyi, were running around like headless flies. Yang Yiyi successfully got separated from the others.

She was in an extremely nervous state. It was still early in the morning, before daybreak, and it was pitch black everywhere. Yang Yiyi had no idea where to go. When asked to recall the route she took to escape from the Liu family, she could not remember any details.

What she remembered most was that when the Liu family servants brought dogs to search for her, Yang Yiyi did not dare to stop to rest for a moment. She ran as fast as she could without caring about the direction or whether other people had escaped.

Now, revisiting the old place seems to have triggered Yang Yiyi's PTSD. Li Chengxi saw that she was trembling more and more as she walked in, as if she was in vibration mode...

It passed by in a flash in the cutscene, but in fact, it was still very far away from the Liu family's house. After all, who would want to build their house on the edge of a cliff if there was flat land? It's not a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple.

Yang Yiyi walked in the bamboo forest for a few minutes. The terrain on one side began to gradually rise. Through the thick bamboo leaves, she could see a hillside covered with a layer of bamboo and wood in the distance.

This seems to be a good observation point. The old eagle in the sky can see around Yang Yiyi, but it is difficult for the old eagle below to see Yang Yiyi who is using bamboo and wood as cover.

So Li Chengxi asked Yang Yiyi to go over there. Almost half an hour later, Yang Yiyi finally found a good place to squat. At this time, the sky was completely bright, with only a little mist remaining in the mountains.

Yang Yiyi squatted on the grass covered with dew, with only her eyes sticking out.

She could just see a house with white walls and black tiles. She knew at a glance that it was the main entrance of a wealthy family's house. Even from Yang Yiyi's perspective, she could vaguely see the plaque with the words "Liu Mansion" hanging on the gate.

There are two ways to go up the mountain. If you look to the right, you can see one of the mountain roads. However, no matter whether it is the Liu family or the mountain road, there is no movement now, as if nothing happened.

"I'm free anyway, would you like some yogurt? I have three flavors: pineapple, strawberry, and chocolate. Which one would you like?"

Li Chengxi was as calm as ever.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Sun Wei and Meihuawei have been investigating the Liu family's network of connections for some time, making sure to catch them all in one fell swoop, and not letting any of them go, even if they are small characters in this line.

While it seemed that there was not even a single person following the Liu family nearby, in fact, the Plum Blossom Guards had already blocked the roads going up and down the mountain. It was just not obvious on the surface, but if anyone from the Liu family tried to escape, they would be besieged by the Plum Blossom Guards immediately.

No one knew how the Liu family planned to save themselves, but the Plum Blossom Guards had already laid out their net, and Sun Wei had also thoroughly figured out how many people were involved.

While Yang Yiyi was still waiting in Taoyuan Valley for Li Chengxi to deal with the evil magic, the Plum Blossom Guards had already begun arresting people who were closely related to the Liu family. Due to the large number of people, the arrest operation continued day and night, and even the county magistrate of Nanshan City was now thrown into jail.

Before the arrest operation was completed, the entire Nanshan City was blocked by nearby garrisons, with no one allowed to enter or leave. The people were in a panic, not knowing what was going on.

Yang Yiyi didn’t know what was happening in Nanshan City for the time being. She squatted in the grass until her feet were numb. Li Chengxi took out a cushion to make her more comfortable.

As the sun moved slightly higher above her head, it was almost noon when Yang Yiyi finally saw a group of people coming up the mountain path.

She picked up the telescope given by Li Chengxi and clearly saw that the person leading the way on horseback was Sun Wei, followed by a large group of neatly dressed Plum Blossom Guards.

Behind the Plum Blossom Guards, there were quite a few horse-drawn carriages, and the people sitting in them seemed to be ordinary people. I wonder why they brought so many people here.

Yang Yiyi looked around and finally found Wu Shaoyi at the end. Her father and a large group of servants were beside them, looking quite a large force.

Yang Yiyi felt so itchy and uncomfortable all over while she was waiting just now. But when she saw Sun Wei finally brought people and was about to start the fight, Yang Yiyi actually calmed down again.

The specific manifestation is that the legs no longer shake.

“Please wear a mask.”

Li Chengxi took out a large mask left over from the epidemic and gave it to Yang Yiyi. He then took out a plastic hat used for hair dyeing and wrapped Yang Yiyi's hair in it, and finally wrapped a towel around her as a headscarf.

It wasn't night, and wearing night clothes was a bit crazy. But no matter whether Yang Yiyi was going to find the Sky-lifting Stone or to help Sun Wei fight, it was better not to use her real face, as it would be bad for her reputation if it got out.

"If a fight really breaks out later, try not to speak. I'll be in charge of the communication."

Yang Yiyi was making preparations silently and nodded vigorously when she heard this.

She really didn't want to talk to the Liu family, or maybe she was too scared to say anything...
