[Option 3: Hide your cultivation and wait and see. ]
[100% success rate, reward: a pepper smoke bomb.]
How to hide one's cultivation level is a skill that every sect disciple must learn. Although this group of people are quite powerful, there are no cultivators with particularly high levels, so it is difficult for them to discover Tang Xin's true cultivation level.
They lifted the curtains of the carriage one by one and pulled out the people inside. The male cultivators were left aside, while the female cultivators were brought together.
"You," a monk pointed at her, "stand with them, quickly!"
Tang Xin took a deep breath and put his hands behind his back.
If I leave alone, the success rate is still very high, but I have to take Shui Qiu with me...
After thinking for a while, she slowly put her hand down.
"Is there another one inside?"
The bandit lifted the door curtain and found a hot girl inside, and tried to grab her out.
Snapped!
Tang Xin used his arms to separate the other person, took Shui Qiu out, turned around and said lightly.
"We will cooperate."
"Have you finished searching?" the leader of the gang shouted at this time. "If you have, take the people with you and go back quickly!"
"Humph, you're so impatient..."
The bandit cursed under his breath and turned to drive away the other female practitioners.
"Sister?"
Shui Qiu asked in a low voice.
"Pay attention and wait for the right opportunity to act."
Tang Xin said.
[The main mission has been triggered]
[Please choose one of the following main tasks]
[“Rational villain”: Contact the real leader of the gang, use your identity, realm, force, etc. to intimidate the other party, and lead Shui Qiu away safely. ]
[Task reward: a shock card, which can temporarily shock cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage after use.]
[Task Impact: Leave the remaining female cultivators to die, Shui Qiu's favorability decreases]
this……
[“The Light of Righteousness”: Kill the real leader of the gangsters and rescue the female cultivator trapped in the gangster’s lair.]
[Task Reward: One Courage Card. After using it, your combat ability will be improved according to your courage level.]
[Mission Impact: Unknown]
"Which one to choose?" Tang Xin raised the corner of his mouth and sneered, "Do I even need to think about it..."
Chapter 19: Pretend, Just Pretend
After choosing the "Light of Righteousness", Tang Xin and Shui Qiu mixed in the crowd and were taken away from the convoy by the bandits.
In fact, without considering others, Tang Xin is fully capable of creating chaos and then finding an opportunity to escape.
However, since it is the "light of righteousness", we must naturally avoid unnecessary casualties.
"Senior Sister, what are they planning to do..."
Shui Qiu followed her closely and asked in a low voice.
"Anyway, it's not a good thing," Tang Xin looked around, "If the situation is not right, just run away."
It seemed like this was not the first time that these gangsters had done something like this. They controlled the crowd in an orderly manner, with people guarding the front, back, left and right to prevent them from escaping.
After walking along the winding mountain road and climbing over several hills, the bandits' village appeared before us.
The fact that they have a fixed hideout shows that these guys live a pretty good life.
"If you want to live, be quiet," the bandit walking in front pulled off his veil and said fiercely, "Don't even think about running away. There are traps and our people everywhere. Running away will only lead to death!"
After being scared, this group of female cultivators were taken into the village, and then the guards closed the tall gate.
After doing all this, the person in charge of giving orders seemed to be relieved and left the people where they were, only sending two or three men to look after them.
"It seems that a lot of people have been arrested," Tang Xin looked around and said in a deep voice, "but the news has not spread to the outside world, which means it has only started recently..."
Highway robbery is a very common thing in the world of cultivation. Except for a few powerful large sects, no one usually cares about it.
But arresting people is different. It involves personal safety, which violates the recognized rules and will be subject to a joint crackdown.
In the village, one can see many cultivators who can be identified at a glance as not being in the same group as the bandits, and most of them are female cultivators.
"Don't panic, Junior Sister. Let me first quietly find out the details of this village and find the real leader, then think of a way..."
"This village is called Green Wind Village. The leader is a female cultivator who calls herself Green Wind Fairy. Her cultivation level does not seem to be above the high level of foundation building, but she is good at using poison. The purpose of capturing the female cultivator seems to be to test some new type of poison."
Shui Qiu said.
"Where did you know that?"
"The people next to them have been talking to each other," Shui Qiu pointed at the guards, "I thought Senior Sister was listening too..."
Are you playing?... Fortunately, I was still planning a thrilling action when all the information came out from the NPC's mouth!
[Generating options...]
[Option 1: Pretend to be cool like the wind, always by my side. Say to Shui Qiu, "Find a safe place to stay, I'll be back soon."]
[The success rate is 50%, and the reward trick 3 is changed to "Pretend, just pretend", and if you fail, you will be punished by "If you pretend, don't even think about running away"]
A fifty-fifty success rate?
And this is another case where the content of the reward is not explained?
[Option 2: Junior sisters are there to keep you warm. Say to Shui Qiu, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you!"]
[Success probability is 70%, reward trick 3 is changed to "Senior Sister's Tenderness", failure will result in punishment "A liar must swallow a thousand needles"]
This punishment can’t be literal, right?
[Option 3: Junior Sister is for sale. Say to Shui Qiu, "Go and attract the attention of other enemies. I will kill their leader."]
[100% success probability, bonus trick 3 changed to "I always run faster than my teammates"]
From the perspective of rewards, option three is a magical skill...
But what's the point of selling out teammates? Isn't this a typical villain behavior?
You're trying to trap me with the option, right? You think I'll always choose the third one?
Humph, this is really underestimating me!
"I understand."
Tang Xin turned around, patted Shui Qiu's shoulder gently, and said lightly.
"You find a safe place to stay, I'll be back soon."
"Sister..."
The girl listened to her words, with love, admiration, and respect in her eyes.
Strong, confident, independent... Senior Sister Tang Xin is the kind of person I most want to be in my mind!
Ah, why, why is senior sister so perfect!
[The third trick has been changed to "Pretend, just pretend"]
Being decent does have its advantages. For example, you will have better luck at times like this...
[Pretend, just pretend: Use expressions, words, actions, etc. to greatly increase the success rate of "pretending to be a tiger and eating a tiger." 】
[Playing the tiger to eat the tiger: refers to pretending to be a master, making the enemy's imagination confused and fearful.]
"Finally, a normal trick has come..."
With the secret weapon, Tang Xin felt much more confident.
She smiled, motioned Shui Qiu to step aside, and she left the crowd under the watchful eyes of the guards.
"you……"
The guard was about to step forward to stop him when he was interrupted by Tang Xin's indifferent tone.
"Forget about it," she activated the Spirit Eye Technique, her eyes shone with a mysterious light, and glanced at the guard, "Is it worth it to be so loyal to a master who would poison you?"
With the perspective of the Spirit Eye Technique, one can see that the guard's arm hidden in his sleeves is covered with green lines, which looks like a poisoning reaction.
Combining the information just obtained, I can guess what the situation is.
"What?" The guard took two steps back subconsciously. "How did you know that..."
Tang Xin not only possesses the skill of spiritual eyes, but has also taken Tianxian brand eye-clearing pills that can keep eyes "bright" all the time.
Even without pretending to have the temperament, this pair of extremely "penetrating" eyes could still scare these monks who had never seen the world.
"Looking at the situation, you were also coerced," Tang Xin put his hands behind his back and continued in a light tone, "Then I won't pursue your faults... Now, take me to meet her."
"This……"
The two guards looked at each other.
What a strong force of oppression!
This young girl can not only tell their physical condition out of thin air, but can also see through their thoughts!
Could it be... Could it be that he is a great senior from some immortal cultivation sect?
It is said that those gifted seniors in the world of cultivation, because they established their foundation very early, can maintain a girlish appearance even when they are over a hundred years old.
This person was locked up in the village, but there was no sign of panic on her face, which was completely different from other female cultivators.
One of the universally recognized rules in the world of cultivation: Don't judge people by their appearance, especially female cultivators, because you never know how old she is.
Tang Xin looked at the guard who didn't move and raised his eyebrows.
