Chapter 313 Interrupting a good thing
"Where is this?"
"This senior is..."
Xing Shande and Shi Jiuan asked almost at the same time.
Seeing that the two did not know each other, Xu Fu gave a brief introduction. Of course, he concealed Xing Shande's identity as the "Black Magician" during the introduction, nor did he explain clearly what kind of secret place this was.
The most important thing at the moment is how to rescue Shi Jiuan’s parents and then escape back to Qinglong.
Even a master like Fang Su couldn't subdue this group of people. Xu Fu didn't think that the three of them could turn the tide.
Although Shi Jiuan was a top-grade cultivator among the three, he lacked experience in facing the enemy, and Xing Shande had not yet become a top-grade cultivator. Therefore, Xu Fu did not take these two into account when making the plan.
At this time, the group of people controlled by Qingli were already on guard, and it would be impossible for them to pretend to be servants. In this case, they could only rely on his fire escape technique.
Xu Fu decided to let Xiao Huang stay in this secret realm. Perhaps because he had been with Xiao Huang for a long time, even though the dungeon was far away from this secret realm, Xu Fu could still sense Xiao Huang's breath.
As long as you can sense it, there will be no problem in performing fire escape technique.
This time, Xu Fu also discovered that the energy consumption of performing the Fire Escape Technique with Xing Shande was much smaller than he had imagined. He could perform it several times without any problem, which gave him more confidence.
The biggest problem now is how to get close to Shi Jiuan’s parents without being noticed.
Xu Fu sat on the ground and adjusted his breathing while thinking of a solution. The spiritual energy was abundant here and it was very suitable for cultivation. Especially for cultivators who practiced earth-based exercises, this place was simply a "feng shui treasure land".
However, Xu Fu had the Tongtian Jue, which allowed him to use any kind of spiritual power, whether it was meat or vegetables.
It’s a pity that there is no help from spiritual objects. Even if the spiritual power is abundant, it cannot satisfy the "appetite" of Tongtian Jue. After only a quarter of an hour of breathing, Xu Fu opened his eyes.
"Senior, do you know where they hide the poisonous drugs?" Xu Fu asked Xing Shande.
"Every time it was that woman who came and took it away. I don't know where she took it to." Xing Shande answered truthfully: "Do you want to..."
"As long as they run out of poisonous drugs, those who are poisoned will no longer obey them." Xu Fu said with certainty.
"That makes sense!" Xing Shande stroked his sparse beard and nodded, "However, the place where the poison is must be heavily guarded."
"We have to make the Shi family chaotic first!"
Xu Fu said this and looked at Shi Jiuan.
Shi Jiuan was stunned at first, then nodded firmly.
"There is one more thing." Shi Jiuan said with some concern before Xu Fu left: "I haven't heard from my grandfather since I came back. If you see him, can you bring him here as well?"
……
In the end, Xu Fu still couldn't bear to tell Shi Jiuan that his grandfather was actually buried in this secret place and she could see it as soon as she raised her eyes.
When Xu Fu climbed out of the dry well, it was the middle of the night and the moon was at its zenith.
The entire Shi family was very quiet, like a sleeping beast.
This time, Xu Fu did not hesitate at all and went straight to the kitchen.
There was no one by the stove at this time, but water droplets could still be seen on the washed dishes, which meant they must have been washed not long ago.
"Just in time!"
Xu Fu came to the room next to the kitchen and heard someone in the room. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard the people in the room talking.
"Butler, it's too late today!"
The person who spoke was a woman, and her voice sounded somewhat resistant.
"I've been busy for half the night and finally have some free time. You miss me so much!"
It was the sound of the stone pillars, and Xu Fu could easily recognize it.
"It's good to be here."
Xu Fu was secretly delighted.
"Busy, busy, busy! You are a kitchen manager, why are you hanging out with those guards? You made me wait here!"
The woman's voice sounded very unhappy.
"What do you, a woman, know? This time it was the Fourth Madam who gave me a thumbs up. I have done a great deed today. Maybe I will be promoted to housekeeper tomorrow!"
Shizhu said very proudly.
"What great merit can you achieve?"
"Humph! I'll scare you to death if I tell you!"
At this point, Shizhu suddenly lowered his voice and continued, "I helped the Fourth Madam catch the thief who kidnapped the young lady!"
"You? You can't even fight or kick, how can you help? I heard that guy even beat away the flying sword fairy!"
"You know nothing. That man recognized me and asked me to bring him into the Shi Mansion secretly. I deliberately agreed and then went to tell the Fourth Madam. The Fourth Madam first sent people to ambush and waited for half a day. The thief was really captured. The Fourth Madam said that I would be credited with the first merit!"
Shizhu's voice sounded very proud. Xu Fu smiled bitterly to himself as he listened to it. He was actually tricked by such a "villain" who had no cultivation at all. One can never judge a person by his appearance, but not by his heart. It is true that one should not trust people easily.
"Oh! My Lord Butler, you are really both wise and brave! I think the position of the second butler must belong to you, you must not forget me!"
The woman in the room giggled and her flattering tone seemed like a different person.
"Serve me well first!"
Then Shizhu laughed, and then the woman's panting and laughter were heard in the house.
Xu Fu blushed when he heard this and hurried forward and knocked on the door.
"Who?" Shizhu asked angrily.
You can imagine how furious he was when his good deeds were interrupted. However, after being in the Shi family for a long time, he also knew that there were many people he should not offend. If it had happened before, he would have just gritted his teeth and endured it. But now that he was in high spirits, his temper had also risen and he spoke in a much tougher tone.
"Manager, the fourth lady is looking for you." Xu Fu said in a low voice with his throat pinched.
"Hold on!"
Xu Fu heard a commotion inside, and soon the door opened.
"Thank you for waiting!"
Shizhu walked out while putting on his outer robe.
Looking at Xu Fu's attire, Shizhu was stunned at first. After seeing Xu Fu's face clearly in the moonlight, Shizhu was so shocked that he was speechless.
"you you……"
Shizhu stepped back unconsciously as he spoke, tripping over the threshold without even noticing it, his eyes almost popping out of his head.
"Who is he?" the woman in the house screamed.
Xu Fu snapped his fingers and a wind ball shot out.
The woman immediately fell on the bed.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
As Shizhu spoke, he kept crawling backwards. In his eyes, Xu Fu looked like a killing god under the moonlight. He had no doubt that as long as the other party moved a finger, he would be beheaded.
"You've made me suffer so much!" Xu Fu said coldly.
"Don't kill me! Please, don't kill me. I was forced to do this. It was the Fourth Madam who ordered me to do this."
Shizhu's pants were already soaked by this time, and a foul stench filled the room, but Shizhu seemed not to notice it and just stared at Xu Fu in horror.
"If you want to live, you can, but take me to see the Fourth Madam!"
