My wife is a reborn big boss

Chapter 151 Wu Qiong's "Rival in Love"

"Okay, I understand." Wu Qiong put down the magical conch shell, ending his conversation with Her Majesty the Empress.

"Brother Wu, what's wrong?" Jie Se asked.

"We've lost contact with Ningzhou City." Wu Qiong frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "The people from Zhaixing Tower discovered something unusual in the city and then sent someone to report to the palace. But after that, there has been no further news from Ningzhou City."

"Master, fellow Daoist, your chance to shine has come." He winked. "That man reported that there are ghosts in Ningzhou City."

"Something's fishy?" Jie Se raised an eyebrow. "An inside man?"

Wu Qiong let out a soft breath: "No, literally... there's a ghost."

"Shall we still go to Ningzhou City?" Ye Qingxuan asked.

"Go, but we need to go to Medicine King Valley first," Wu Qiong explained. "After all, they are closer to Ningzhou City, so they might know something."

"Xiao Bai, lead the way, you know this place well."

Su Mubai nodded: "Mm."

Evening, at the entrance of Yaowang Valley.

Wu Qiong gazed at the valley before him.

The orange-red sunset cast its glow on the valley, giving it a somewhat... dilapidated feel.

"Little Bai, is there no one guarding the entrance to Medicine King Valley?" Wu Qiong asked, frowning.

He sensed something was wrong.

"I don't know," Little White Girl replied succinctly as always.

"Alright." Wu Qiong led the way inside: "Let's go in and take a look."

At this moment, the valley was eerily quiet; apart from the voices of Wu Qiong and the others, there was no other sound.

"Brother Wu, something's not right," Jie Se said in a low voice.

Wu Qiong didn't speak, but followed Su Mubai toward the council hall.

The young woman pushed open the door and went inside, followed by Wu Qiong and the other two.

"Let's split into pairs." Wu Qiong touched the table; it was dust-free. "Brother Dao, go and wander around to see if you can find anyone, dead or alive. Xiao Bai and I will go check their medicine storehouse. We'll meet back here in half an hour."

"Okay." The two who had abstained from sex left.

Half an hour later, inside the council hall.

"Brother Wu, we found nothing," Jie Se said in a deep voice. "No signs of a struggle, no bloodstains, no one."

"Hmm, that's about what I guessed." Wu Qiong took out the magical conch shell and channeled his spiritual energy into it: "Xuanji, have all the people from Medicine King Valley gone to the capital?"

"No," Her Majesty the Empress's voice came. "Only about half of them actually came; the rest are unwilling to leave and remain in Medicine King Valley. Have you discovered anything?"

"We're in Medicine King Valley now, and it's completely deserted. There's no fighting, no bloodshed, no people, and all the medicinal herbs in the warehouse have been moved out. What does that mean?" Wu Qiong said.

Bai Xuanji replied, "That means they left voluntarily, and... they have no intention of returning to the valley."

"Is it the Evil Extreme Sect?" she asked.

"No." Su Mubai's tone was flat: "No one dares to make a move unless my master gives the order. And my master won't do anything without my permission."

Wu Qiong was speechless: "Your Evil Extreme Sect is really... different from others."

Those sects in the past, such as Shaolin and Taiqing, were not very reliable either, but at least their leaders kept their word.

This Evil Extreme Sect is quite something; the sect leader isn't even the one in charge. Could it be that when Xiaobai entered the Innate Realm, Miss Sheng Yeyun already planned to pass the position to her?

"What will you do next?" Her Majesty the Queen asked.

"Avoid Ningzhou City." Wu Qiong's eyes gleamed with wisdom. "That wretched place must be in trouble. We only have two Xiantian cultivators, it's not safe. So let's go to the Xieji Sect to get reinforcements first, and then come back and take over Ningzhou City."

"Heart..." Jie Se scratched his bald head. "Brother Wu, this isn't quite what I expected..."

'

"To be honest, Master, my biggest weakness is that I have many powerful backers." Wu Qiong smiled proudly, "Knowing that there's a problem in Ningzhou City, I still rushed in headfirst. What is that if not stupidity?"

"You're quite the clever little devil," Her Majesty the Empress chuckled. "I will also send people over to meet you when you leave the Evil Extreme Sect. Ah Qiong, be careful."

"I understand." Wu Qiong stuffed the conch shell back into his arms. "Let's go, to the Evil Extreme Sect."

The group left, and behind them, on the cliff top of Medicine King Valley, two people watched their departing figures in silence.

"Aren't we going to leave them behind?" asked the middle-aged man on the left, whose skin was deathly pale.

"It's better to live a wretched life than to die a good death. If you want to die, then go ahead and stop me." The zombie-faced man on the right spoke in a calm, unwavering voice.

"The direct descendants of Shaolin, Taiqing, and Xieji Sect, and that unpredictable Wu Qiong." The zombie-faced man tugged at the corners of his stiff mouth, forcing a smile: "I haven't lived enough yet."

"Should we inform that old man from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect?" the silent middle-aged man asked. "He has grudges against Su Mubai and Wu Qiong."

"No need. Let him die if he wants; it'll help us divert attention. Anyway..." The zombie man turned and left, "Our target isn't the Evil Extreme Sect."

The moon is dark and the wind kills the night.

Wu Qiong and the others stopped on the road.

Before them lay a classic scene: several masked men in black attacking a young female knight-errant.

"Brother Wu, should we save him or not?" Jie Se asked.

"What's there to save? We just need to pretend nothing happened. Let's get out of here." Wu Qiong shook his head.

The problem in Ningzhou is significant. This incident occurred not far from Ningzhou city, and while it's not a side story, it's still related to the main plot. He didn't want to create unnecessary complications before bringing in reinforcements.

"That's inappropriate, Brother Wu!" Jie Se exclaimed, his eyes wide like copper bells. "How can we, righteous men, stand by and watch someone die?"

"Then go and rescue them! Why are you asking me?" Wu Qiong said, pursing his lips.

.

"Because this humble monk senses something is amiss," Jie Se said gravely. "The only corpses of men in black around indicate that this girl had no companions and that she is quite skilled in martial arts. These men in black clearly weren't after her, so the question is, what is their purpose?"

Ye Qingxuan continued, "In my opinion, this girl probably has some treasure they want, or she knows some secret, and they've come to silence her."

Jiese continued, "Whether they want something or to silence us, if we just stand by, do you think they'll let us leave?"

"I don't think so." Wu Qiong pointed around, and a small group of men in black had already surrounded them. "I told you to leave quickly, but you insist on talking nonsense here."

He looked at the men in black and gave them a warm, spring-like smile: "Gentlemen, why don't we pretend nothing happened? You didn't see us today, and we don't know what you're doing here. Let's all go our separate ways, shall we?"

"Kill!" one of the men in black shouted, and the rest of the men in black charged forward.

"Why do humans start wars?" Wu Qiong sighed, appeared next to the man in black who had spoken, and slapped his head away.

"Isn't it good to be alive?"

Since the fight scene cannot be described, let's just look at the result.

In short, in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all the men in black who were attacking them were dead.

Then the little white girl rushed towards the girl who was being beaten up.

Jie Se scratched his head, puzzled, and said, "Strange, why would Miss Su think of saving someone? Could that girl be someone she knows?"

Wu Qiong shook his head and said, "No, she just wanted to silence them."

As long as everyone who saw them is dead, then it can be treated as if it never happened.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingxuan's expression changed, and he rushed towards the girl.

By this time, the remaining men in black had been dispatched to meet the King of Hell by the young woman as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

The girl glanced at Ye Qingxuan with disdain, then trotted over to Su Mubai with small, adoring steps, and said, "My name is Gongyang Yu. May I ask your name, sir?"

Seeing that the young lady did not answer, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she said shyly, "Young master, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace, except... except to offer myself to you."
