There was clearly no wind, but the pink and white cloth tent hanging on the awning rack kept trembling slightly, as if something was restless in the empty awning.
Zhao Er felt that something was amiss and could not help but take a few more glances.
“What’s wrong?”
The two people beside him noticed his actions and frowned.
“Nothing. I might be a little hot…”
Zhao Er pulled his collar.
At this moment, they were standing on the roof of a villa. This was the meeting place specially chosen by the employer.
Zhao Er had observed it when he first arrived. There were many residences and villas nearby. The alleys were complicated. Once he jumped out, he could quickly use the complicated terrain to disappear without a trace.
However, this building was a little taller than the other buildings around it. It was high above and not easy to be monitored.
It was obvious that the employer this time was an experienced veteran.
“Unfortunately, I’m sorry. I was forced…”
Suddenly, a fragrant wind blew, and a white-robed figure suddenly jumped up and landed lightly on the wooden floor.
Zhao Er’s expression changed slightly, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. This was different from what those people had said!
This movement technique could not only be at the crippled n.o.ble Realm!
The person who suddenly jumped up was a white-clothed woman with fluttering black hair. She had a beautiful figure and was curvaceous. A fine white veil covered the lower half of her face, revealing only a pair of beautiful watery eyes.
Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Er’s forehead. Since this person was not at the Tough Realm, she might take her anger out on them when she discovered the ambush later and kill them first!
“F*ck, I knew it. These dogs from the Mist Patrol Division can’t be trusted!”
Zhao Er resisted the urge to turn around and run. He forced a smile and said, “Greetings, Miss. The fog in the mountains is very thick today. It’s not convenient to go out.”
The masked woman blinked her beautiful eyes as if she did not notice Zhao Er’s abnormality at all. “Although the fog is thick, as long as we find a guide, we won’t be afraid of getting lost.”
The secret signal also matched.
Her voice was quite gentle, making Zhao Er feel even more relaxed.
Zhao Er wiped his head. “May 1 ask where you’re going?”
“Area B District 14.”
“The 14th district?” Zhao Er looked troubled. “I only accept orders to the 15th and 17th districts. I can’t do anything about the 14th district.”
“It’s fine. When I reach the 15th district, I’ll find a way to go to the 14th district myself.”
Due to the existence of the Chaotic Fog, the entire Qianyuan Prefecture City was divided into nearly 200 to 300 districts. They were like countless isolated islands in the sea. Only at a specific time and according to a specific route could one cross from one district to another.
This dock area was District B16. Although District B16 and District B14 were two districts away, it was definitely not easy to smoothly and safely cross.
In order to stall for time, Zhao Er chatted with the woman for a while. The woman seemed to be very patient and answered him smoothly. She was not in a hurry.
From time to time, she would lean over and touch the red flowers that were thriving in the vase. She was more interested in them.
Thinking that it was about time, Zhao Er glanced at both sides, and his companions immediately understood.
Without batting an eyelid, the three of them took a step back.
The woman did not do anything else. She looked at the three of them quietly. “Why are you retreating?”
“We—”
Before Zhao Er could finish, a rough man’s voice suddenly interrupted. “Then why are you going to the 14th district?!”
Zhao Er’s face instantly tightened as he hurriedly jumped back.
However, he realized that the woman had no intention of attacking at all. Instead, she took out an unknown flower from the vase in front of her.
On the not-so-wide roof, six people jumped up one after another. All of them were eying the woman covetously, forming a semicircle, vaguely surrounding the woman.
These six people were all wearing blue uniform windbreakers and leather shoes. They were tall and straight, and their auras were extraordinary.
The leader was about 23 or 24 years old. He was extremely young. His eyes were long and narrow, and they were a little cold. However, his expression was arrogant, as if he did not care about anything around him.
A frivolous and ferocious smile hung on his face as he glanced greedily at the veiled woman. “Cheng Yu’er, you really know how to run! A total of six districts! Aren’t you in my hands now?”
The woman named Cheng Yu’er’s wrist trembled slightly. She gently plucked a petal from the red flower in her hand and sighed. “Young Master Teng is a Mist Patrol Envoy. You’re young and have a bright future. Why are you holding onto a little girl like me?”
Young Master Teng, who was the long-eyed young man, swept his fiery eyes over the woman’s entire body. He smiled coldly and said, “Cheng Yu’er, hand over the things your master stole and take off your veil. Let me see your face. If you look good and please me, I can make the decision to spare your life.”
A cold light bloomed in Cheng Yu’er’s eyes. “There’s no negotiation?”
“Who do you think you are to talk to me?”
Cheng Yu’er slowly exhaled. She kneaded the red flower in her palm into a ball. “Why do you think that while you couldn’t catch up to me in six districts, you could catch up to me in District B16?”
Young Master Teng’s expression changed slightly. “You’re exaggerating! You’re like a turtle in a jar. Can you escape?”
Cheng Yu’er opened her hand, and the crushed red flower in her palm fell to the ground bit by bit. A faint sweet fragrance wafted from her palm..
