A great adventure in the world of immortal cultivation

Xiao Huohuo: That's great! We can practice hard here, and then break through the foundation and come out... No, there's no spiritual energy here!

KP: You really thought I would leave such a big loophole for you to exploit? (Laughs loudly)

Xiao Huohuo: KP, you despicable alien! (half annoyed)

Han Buli: Actually, I feel that staying in the palace for a long time is not a good idea. As the saying goes, a great hermit hides in the city. This mission will not be too short, so we still have to find a way to blend in with the crowd to facilitate subsequent investigations.

Joan of Arc: Indeed.

KP: However, after hearing Han Buli's words, Sha shook his head repeatedly.

Sha: No, you must not go out. Your portraits are posted everywhere outside!

Xiao Huohuo: Huh? Didn't they say it's been five years? Why is it still posted outside?

Sha: The Imperial Master posts your wanted portraits every year. Now almost everyone in the city knows what you look like. If you go out directly, you will be recognized immediately!

Romeo: Hehe, this wave of people has also made it to the must-eat list in Tianmu City~

Xiao Huohuo: You must eat the list grass! But if it's just a portrait, it shouldn't be a big problem. Lao Luo!

Romeo: Hehehe, here, I, Romeo, rely on my disguised teeth!

Romeo: Cross-dressing, 6/60, success.

Xiao Huohuo:6.

Han Buli:6.

Joan of Arc: 6.

KP: Then, Romeo skillfully took out his makeup bag and after a little tinkering with his face, a pretty face that looked exactly like Sha appeared before everyone's eyes. Sha exclaimed in amazement.

Sha: Awesome! How did you do that?

Romeo: The Four Great Witches of Asia, pretty magical, right?

Xiao Huohuo: What do you think? With such a disguise skill, it won’t be difficult for us to blend in with the people.

KP: After carefully examining Romeo and confirming that he couldn't see any flaws, Kesha nodded in admiration.

Sha: Well, I really can't tell... Leave it to me! I'll find a suitable identity for you right away!

KP: After saying that, Sha turned around and prepared to go out to do some work. But before leaving, Sha suddenly thought of something, turned around, and spread out her hands to Romeo.

Sha: We made an appointment.

Romeo:?

Jeanne: Byd Lao Luo, you said you would teach Xiao Sha the exercises before, but you've forgotten about it now, right? (Pointing and gesturing)

Romeo: Quack!

KP: Then, seeing Romeo's awkward look, Sha's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then he chuckled softly, and a smile returned to his face.

Sha: Humph, silly Juliet... But it's been five years, so it's inevitable that you've forgotten.

"Then next time, don't forget it next time!"

Chapter 161 A Loving Family (Toki no Shakiku)

KP: After making an agreement for next time, Sha left the desolate courtyard with light steps, and silence returned to the surroundings.

Joan of Arc: Romeo, look at what you have done. (Pointing)

Xiao Huohuo: Indeed, Byd Lao Luo asked you to be lenient everywhere, and now it has backfired. (Pointing and gesturing)

Romeo: Oh, I was wrong.

Han Buli: You'll dare to do it again next time, right? (Pinching nose)

Joan of Arc: Let's be honest, when it comes to being promiscuous, you're not much better, my stinky little brother?

Xiao Huohuo:?

Han Buli: Indeed, I look forward to Brother Xuan Zi severely torturing Lao Xiao after returning to the sect.

Xiao Huohuo: Byd, Old Han, just mind your own business! (half annoyed)

Han Buli: Okay, okay, let’s get back to business. What do you think about what happened in the illusion before?

Joan of Arc: What do you think? Lao Li is a real man, the Imperial Master must die!

Xiao Huohuo: Hmm... I think there is some profound meaning in what Lao Li said, the part about water that can carry a boat but can also capsize it.

Han Buli: How do you mean?

Romeo: Zhao Wuji.

Han Buli:?

Xiao Huohuo: I feel like we're a bit biased. Because Zhao Wuji is at the Foundation Establishment stage and Tianmu City is populated by mortals, we automatically assume Zhao Wuji is the stronger party. But in reality, he seems to be the one who can't afford to lose the most.

Han Buli: I can’t afford to lose.

Xiao Huohuo: Didn't I say before that Zhao Wuji, nearing the end of his lifespan, discovered a sinister technique to refine human life before his death? Although I'm just speculating, I feel that Zhao Wuji likely provoked someone he couldn't afford to offend because of this sinister technique. Otherwise, why would a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him hide underground for hundreds of years?

Romeo: Yes, that makes sense.

Xiao Huohuo: So, assuming Zhao Wuji couldn't leave, Tianmu City would be his last resort. On the one hand, he had to oppress and exploit the people of Tianmu City, but on the other, he had to be considerate and appease the people, maintaining his image as a righteous and upright imperial preceptor. After all, if the people of Tianmu City became divided, and a few more waves of patriots emerged, willing to sacrifice their lives, even if he could easily suppress them, the end result would only be self-destruction, a loss that would outweigh the gain.

KP: (Pinching nose)

Joan of Arc: Tsk, after hearing your analysis, my stinky brother, I feel like Zhao Wuji's foundation-building skills have instantly become less impressive. (Pinching nose)

Xiao Huohuo: To be honest, Zhao Wuji doesn't have much prestige to speak of. He's just a dan-binding old man with eyebrow pencils. He just lived a few hundred years longer than me and reached the foundation-building stage first. Don't even talk about ten or eight years, give me three years. See if I can slap him in the face in three years and that'll be it.

Han Buli: This is the episode where you should never bully the poor young people.

Joan of Arc: You stinky little brother, go make a three-year agreement with him.

Xiao Huohuo: KP, are you willing to give me three years?

KP: So, you go and challenge Zhao Wuji first, then start a new car, and come back to collect your body after three years.

Xiao Huohuo: (half annoyed)

Han Buli: So, according to Lao Xiao's analysis, if we want to overthrow Zhao Wuji, we only need to incite the people of Tianmu City to rebel.

Joan of Arc: Okay, okay, promoting the awakening of national consciousness and leading the grassroots people to resist and revolt, right? I am familiar with this business!

Xiao Huohuo: Take a break, you little sister. You are a 1.4 meter tall country girl from outside, and you want to go against the highly respected state teacher. If I were a citizen of Tianmu City, I would definitely think you are spreading rumors and then hang you up on the rack and roast you.

Romeo: Now it's ripe... (sad)

Han Buli: The grass is ripe.

Xiao Huohuo: I feel like if we want to take the path of "water can overturn a boat", in addition to sufficient evidence, we also need to find someone with sufficient credibility to speak on our behalf... Hmm? (Perception)

Han Buli: ...I think I've already seen some bad ending. (Pinching nose)

Joan of Arc: ...I'm a little angry. (Half annoyed)

Romeo: Dog KP deserves an investigation. (Heartbeat)

KP: What? Why are you all looking at me?

Joan of Arc: (pinching her nose) KP, you're not planning on doing something stupid like a princess from an imperial dynasty sacrificing her life for her country, are you?

KP: This is your own analysis. I know nothing and I have the right to remain silent.

Joan of Arc: You tm... (rolls up sleeves)

Xiao Huohuo: Don't panic, brothers and sisters. As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Dog KP is just a cobbler, how can he be a match for my Shu Han F4? (laughs)

Romeo: Indeed, then it's time to activate the amazing wisdom (referring to the card bug)~?

KP: (annoyed)

Han Buli: Well, it's too early to discuss the outcome now. Let's just walk and see what happens. Anyway, let's get the stuff out of the well first.

Xiao Huohuo: That’s right.

KP: So, you came to the dry well in the yard, looked down, and it was pitch black.

Han Buli: I'll pick up a stone and throw it down to see.

KP: The stone fell into the well and soon there was a crashing sound. Based on your experience, Han Buli, you concluded that the depth of this well is about ten meters.

Han Buli: I have a sense of danger.

Han Buli: Danger perception, 5/50, success.

KP: Han Buli carefully observed the inside of the dry well and found no traces of snakes, insects, rats or ants, nor any strange smells. It seemed to be safe.

Han Buli: Come on, it’s time to leave.

KP: Just be lucky, as long as there is one success.

Xiao Huohuo: Lucky, 95/50, failed.

Han Buli: Lucky, 43/70, successful.

KP: So, after searching for a while in the well, Han Buli successfully found a palm-sized iron mailbox. He opened it and found a yellowed piece of paper inside. Perhaps it was the letter of denunciation mentioned at the rally that night. Hundreds of unfamiliar characters were written on it in a powerful and vigorous handwriting. It's a pity you still can't understand it.

Xiao Huohuo: It’s daily life.

Joan of Arc: You won’t let me read it again?

Han Buli: No, if you read it again, you will be in the middle of the month.

Joan of Arc:?

Xiao Huohuo: Indeed, just give all the materials to Xiaosha for translation and it will be done. Don’t force yourself to suffer for nothing, little sister.

Joan of Arc: (half annoyed)

KP: Perhaps because of your previous failure, Jeanne still feels a bit dizzy and nauseous when seeing these familiar characters. So after discussion, you decided to hand over this letter of denunciation, along with the parchment notebook you obtained from the ruins, to Shah for translation.

Han Buli: Wait a minute, KP, can we find paper and pen here, or do we have some with us?

KP: What are you going to do?

Han Buli: I want to copy down the words on these notes and letter paper, shuffle the order and then give them to Sha, so that we can get the translation, and Sha will not know the content and will not be further involved.

Xiao Huohuo: Genius!

Joan of Arc: Not standing is capable! (Appreciation)

Romeo: Wow, wow, Lao Han, you are so thin, I like it so much~?

Han Buli: Roll, roll, roll.

KP: (pinching nose) It's indeed thin. Han Buli, you are so lucky and have such a good hand.

Han Buli: Lucky, 67/70, successful.

Han Buli: Great move, 20/70, success.

Han Buli: Stable.

KP: So, Han Buli, you were lucky enough to find some paper and charcoal pencils in a rotten wooden cabinet inside the house. It seems Sha had brought them here to doodle for fun. Then, Han Buli, you re-transcribed the characters from the parchment notebook and envelope onto the paper, then used Jeanne's sickle to cut each character separately and shuffle the order. This way, no one could decipher the original content.

Han Buli: OK, it’s done. Now we just have to wait for news from Sha.

KP: Okay, considering what's going to happen next, you all should roll your luck.

Xiao Huohuo:?

KP: Don't worry, it's not a dangerous incident.

Xiao Huohuo: (pinches nose)

Xiao Huohuo: Lucky, 43/50, success.

Han Buli: Lucky, 35/70, successful.

Romeo: Lucky, 74/45, failed.

Joan of Arc: Lucky, 63/60, failed.

Xiao Huohuo: I have eyebrow pencil. (Pointing)

Han Buli: It's really an eyebrow pencil. (Pointing)

Joan of Arc: A girl's blush speaks louder than words.jpg.
