The court lackeys of the eight-hour workday

Chapter 306 Willing
Li Miao carried the unconscious "Bu Liuxing," with Zheng Yi beside him, her head bowed. The two followed behind Xue Hanmeng as they walked.

After walking for a while, Li Miao smiled. Xue Hanmeng was leading them in the same direction Li Miao had come from—Yishan.

Li Miao's deduction was correct; Xue Bangzhu did indeed leave clues in Yishan before moving to the mortuary. Moreover, these were clues that Li Miao had not yet discovered.

That's actually normal. Xue Bangzhu has spent her whole life either practicing martial arts or being a wife and mother. She doesn't have the ability to leave behind any overly subtle clues.

To avoid being discovered by the murderer, she would likely use another method to "encrypt" it, which is probably related to the traditions of Penglai. After all, Li Miao and Cao Hanyan are not from Penglai, so it's normal that they wouldn't be able to find out.

Thinking this, before long, Yishan came into view in the distance.

Cao Hanyan and Yin Suqin knew that Li Miao had gone, so the matter was definitely over. They also knew that Li Miao would definitely return with his men, so they were already waiting at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing someone approaching, the two of them ran over.

Zheng Yi's expression changed, and without saying a word, she paused and was about to rush forward.

Li Miao smiled and reached out to stop her. Without saying a word, he tore off a piece of "Bu Liuxing's" hair and threw it at Xue Hanmeng's head in front of him.

"Bu Liuxing" woke up in pain, but was suppressed by Li Miao's true energy probing into his body. He couldn't even let out a wail, and could only stare wide-eyed with his eyes twitching.

Xue Hanmeng was glancing at Cao Hanyan and Yin Suqin out of the corner of her eye when a sudden gust of wind came from behind her. Before she could react, something soft and wet hit her on the head, making her stumble.

Confused, she reached up and touched her head, finding it wet. She grabbed the object that had been thrown at her, looked at it, and immediately turned pale.

That was clearly an ear, along with part of its scalp!

And whose ear it is, there's no need to even think about it!
Li Miao's voice came from behind.

"Since you're a fool, you should understand that playing mind games isn't something you should be thinking about."

“Look, just because you had some thoughts you shouldn’t have had, your uncle has lost another incense stick’s worth of life—he’s not young anymore, his energy and blood are depleted, and he doesn’t have much blood left to bleed.”

Xue Hanmeng could almost picture Li Miao's sinister smile, tinged with bloodlust.

"You need to go faster."

Xue Hanmeng was in tears.

She did indeed have a wicked plan, thinking that once Cao Yin and his companion got close, she could seize them and then negotiate with Li Miao. Unexpectedly, the moment the idea formed in her mind, the other party ripped off her uncle's ear and threw it at her!

I haven't done anything yet!

She tried to argue a few more points, sobbing as she ran.

"I clearly didn't intend to—"

"I do not care."

Li Miao's playful voice came from behind her again, cutting her off.

"Whether you are innocent or not, I don't care about your uncle's life. Whether you have ulterior motives or not, I'm going to tear off one of his ears, so what?"

"You're not going to try to reason with me, are you?"

Xue Hanmeng suddenly froze.

She finally understood that Li Miao and Zheng Yi were different.

He wouldn't give himself any chance to turn things around, nor would he bother to ascertain her feelings.

Regardless of her intentions, as long as he had any chance to make a move, Li Miao would not hesitate to tear another piece of flesh from his uncle and throw it at him—he was too lazy to even open his mouth to test the waters!
It's just a "possibility," and it won't even wait for her to take any real action!
This means that she not only cannot make any changes, but must also actively avoid any opportunity to turn the tide!

What should she do? Xue Hanmeng was in a state of utter confusion. She could still think of a way to deal with Zheng Yi, but how could she possibly save her uncle's life against an opponent like Li Miao?

Snapped.

With a soft thud, another object landed on her head.

Xue Hanmeng's eyes widened in disbelief as she reached out to grab it, only to find it was wet again. Trembling, she held the object in front of her and immediately broke down in tears.

"Why is that!?"

In her hand, a pair of ears had been assembled. Especially the latter one, with large patches of scalp, "Bu Liuxing" was probably no longer recognizable as a human.

"If you want reasons, I can give you a lot."

Li Miao said with a smile.

"For example, you talk too much, run too slowly, or are too stupid; for example, it's too dark, the wind is too cold, or the road is too far; for example, this junk is too heavy and my hands are tired from carrying it, so I want to 'lighten the load' for myself."

In short—I'm willing.

As they were talking, Cao Yin and the other man ran over. They were completely baffled by the strange situation and were about to ask a question when Li Miao raised his hand to stop them.

Zheng Yi reached out and lifted the two of them up, a smile creeping onto her face—Li Miao's method was even more satisfying than the half hour she had spent cursing! She should have done it directly before!

When dealing with idiots, you shouldn't try to reason with them!
Xue Hanmeng, who was ahead of Li Miao, was on the verge of collapse. Her shoulders were shaking and tears were constantly being flung into the air, but she didn't dare to stop. She could only run forward while crying.

"you you--"

Xue Hanmeng choked up as she spoke.

Snapped.

Two more twisted and bent fingers were thrown at her head.

"Bu Liu Xing" has fainted from the pain again.

Li Miao said no more, only slightly opened his mouth and uttered a single word.

"drive."

Just that one word was enough to make Zheng Yi break down. Cao Yin and the other man, who were being held by the hand, exchanged a glance, feeling a chill run down their spines.

Yin Suqin, in particular, felt that her broken shoulder was a great injustice—she had previously thought that she had wronged Li Miao by hearing rumors, but now she realized that what she had said was probably a embellished version of events by the Embroidered Uniform Guard! Li Miao was probably even more ruthless than she had described!

Especially the title "The Corpse-Tearing Thousand-Household Commander," it's probably all true!

Regardless of how shocked the two were, Xue Hanmeng was completely stunned by Li Miao. She dared not speak again, and did not even dare to let Li Miao hear her cries. She covered her mouth with her hand and ran desperately towards Yishan.

She was already at the Celestial Realm, and now that she had no intention of struggling, she used all her lightness skill to increase her speed. Before an incense stick could burn, she slowly came to a stop.

Li Miao also stopped and looked around. This was the wooden house where Xue Bangzhu lived.

Zheng Yi reached out and placed Cao Yin and the other person on the ground, then glanced around. Before Xue Hanmeng could point it out, she frowned, fixed her gaze in a certain direction for a long time, and nodded.

She said to Li Miao.

"My lord, I understand."

"This Xue Bangzhu has indeed left behind clues that only members of the Penglai Sect can see."
