Ch. 57 - Brother Is A Human Trafficker

In fact, after the conversation a few days ago, Xiao Tian told Feng Yu Die that Ye Anping probably could see her too, so after that, when Xiao Tian said all kinds of nonsense to Ye Anping, she didn't care.

Anyway, she didn't think Ye Anping could see Xiao Tian.

However, after entering the physiotherapy center and seeing Ye Anping's serious expression, Feng Yu Die also reacted.

"Today, huh?"

"Well, yes, it's today. Let's go to the Willow Moon Lake..."

"Why didn't you tell me yesterday that it's today, I didn't even say goodbye to Sister Pei and the others."

"You don't need to say goodbye. Within three days everyone in Black Star will know that you were kidnapped by the people of the Seven Slayers Sect."

"..."

Feng Yu Die grimaced.

She was somewhat annoyed with the feeling of being used by Ye Anping as a pawn. Being controlled by others was always uncomfortable, but to be honest, after listening to Ye Anping explain the details of his plan these days, she really had to admire him.

A fifteen-year-old cultivator in the Qi Refining stage used the Black Star Sect, one of the five great Immortal Clans, as his weapon...

She couldn't help but wonder if she could do the same thing as Ye Anping if she stood in his shoes. However, no matter how she thought about it, it was unlikely that she would consider everything that meticulously even with the help of Xiao Tian's Heavenly Dao Scroll.

The two said their goodbyes to Bai Yuexin, and under her jealous gaze, they summoned their flying swords in unison and flew off, heading southwest to where the Willow Moon Lake was.

Willow Moon Lake, as the name suggested, was a half-moon-shaped dammed lake surrounded by willow trees.

There were many autumn lotuses growing in the lake, but unfortunately, it was not the blooming season, so there were only brown lotus leaves as well as a few carp.

A small pavilion stood by the lake, with the tip painted a deep maroon and the pillars in ancient dark green.

The two landed and walked into the pavilion.

Ye Anping looked at the sun in the sky and saw it was still some time before noon. According to Liang Zhu's style, the Seven Slayers thugs usually did not act before that time.

So he took out the roasted chicken he had bought on the way in the morning.

"As promised, the last roasted chicken before you hit the road."

?

Feng Yu Die frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Young Master Ye, you're not planning to let me die in the Fort of Secrets, are you? What's hit the road?"

"Hitting the road is a way of speaking." Ye Anping shrugged and explained, "As long as you don't act on the spur of the moment and if you follow the things I taught you, then it's just a matter of going in and going out."

"... You think I'm going to mess up?"

"I'm afraid you will."

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her." Xiao Tian hurriedly squeaked.

Although Ye Anping still didn't respond, Xiao Tian's words made him feel relieved.

Feng Yu Die used to do things in a careless way, was prone to get carried away in the early stages of the game, and did things like charging inside the enemy's base camp alone.

Although she managed to get through each time with strength and luck, it only worked for the 'corresponding' time.

As mentioned before, the Seven Slayers Sect was a factor that would not appear until the middle of the game.

And, right now, both Feng Yu Die and the mainline were still in the early stages of development.

The danger for the protagonist in the early stage when breaking through forcefully into the mid-stage was not small.

Even with that general plan of support he made, he could never guarantee that Feng Yu Die would come out of the Seven Slayers Sect 100% unscathed.

"Come on, let's review everything one last time." Ye Anping said in a deep voice, "After I drug you, tie you up, and hand you over to Liang Zhu, he should take you to the nearest command point of the Seven Slayers Sect. After that, about two days later, you will be transferred to the Fort of Secrets headquarters, and all the while you will be blindfolded and loaded into a cargo boat."

"..."

"When it feels like it's almost there, crush the travel order I gave you."

Feng Yu Die asked: "The travel order is a pair. I have one. Who are you going to give the other one to?"

"I'll give it to Lei Wanjun later. At that point, if you destroy the travel order, he will know your exact location, and then he will bring over the disciples of the Black Star Sect to kill everyone in the Fort of Secrets in one fell swoop and save you in the process."

"Hmm..." Feng Yu Die nodded and said, "So, before the head of the Seven Slayers is killed, I must sneak into his bedroom and leave this... map of the Black Star Sect's main protection spells you gave me."

"Well, the purpose of this move is to remove any suspicion so that Black Star will not realize that someone else planned this matter."

"Then how do you get away with it?" Feng Yu Die frowned, "I have been coming to your place every day for the past few days, and not only Sister Bai, but there must be quite a few disciples who have seen me there. Once I am kidnapped, Black Star will send someone to interrogate you immediately. How will you explain?"

"Heh..." Ye Anping exhaled lightly, "You don't need to worry about it. I already have a plan."

"Who's worried about you?" Feng Yu Die raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm just curious."

"Then don't be curious."

Ye Anping finally asked, "Have you memorized the map of the Fort and the traps inside? Don't misremember and get caught in it."

Feng Yu Die propped up her cheeks and replied, "Those maps you showed me before, I can redraw them for you."

"That's good..."

He then took out a pack of powder and rope from his storage bag, and in front of Feng Yu Die, scooped up water from the nearby lake with a bamboo cup and sprinkled the powder in it.

"Here, this medicine will make you sleep for a day. After the effect wears off, you should already be on the cargo boat, but remember, don't move around after waking up, just pretend you are still asleep, got it?"

"... Got it." Feng Yu Die pouted and took the bamboo cup.

Looking at the clear water in the cup, she hesitated briefly, then held her breath and drank it in one gulp.

"Hmm? It's tasteless."

"Of course it's tasteless, I went out of my way to buy the finest stuff. You won't even have a headache when you wake up."

After the water went down her throat, Feng Yu Die felt the effect of the medicine within three breaths.

Her vision got hazy, and her head started spinning.

After a moment of bewilderment, she spotted the roasted chicken on the table and, seizing the last moment she was awake, tore off the chicken leg, stuffed it in her mouth, and with one powerful stroke, removed all the skin and swallowed it. Then, she fell asleep on the table with a plop.

Xiao Tian flew around Feng Yu Die a few times, then ran to sit on his shoulder.

"No problem, Young Master Ye, Yu Die is sound asleep!" She gave Ye Anping a thumbs up as if praising his medicine.

"..."

Somewhat speechless, Ye Anping walked over, moved Feng Yu Die's arms behind her back, then took the rope and tied her wrists with a slipknot.

Floating in mid-air, Xiao Tian carefully watched Ye Anping's movements, and seeing that he didn't seem to have even the slightest dirty thoughts, she blinked and reminded him, "Young Master Ye ~ Yu Die is defenseless now, don't you want to secretly touch her? If you just want to touch her face or something, I don't care, and I won't tell her later. Be bold-- "

"..."

With a black cloud over his head, Ye Anping ignored him, squatted down again, put Feng Yu Die's feet together, and tied another slipknot on her ankles.

With these slipknots, she could break free with a little effort.

After that, he removed Feng Yu Die's storage bag, took out the sack he prepared, put it inside, and fastened the mouth of the sack.

While he was doing this, Liang Zhu arrived as promised.

Liang Zhu stood in front of the pavilion but didn't enter. He just watched Ye Anping skillfully pack Feng Yu Die and didn't know what to say--- this kid was so quick at tying people up, it seemed he had a lot of practice.

Ye Anping threw Feng Yu Die's storage bag toward Liang Zhu.

"Brother Liang, proceed."

"..."

Liang Zhu took it with one hand and used his spiritual sense to check the contents of Feng Yu Die's storage bag. After confirming that the identity card of the Grand Master of the Magical Poison Sect was inside, he nodded.

Then he took out a small bag and threw it to Ye Anping.

"As agreed initially, the bounty will be split fifty-fifty with you. I'll take her to the Seven Slayers Sect to collect the bounty, so I won't come here again, okay?"

Ye Anping took the bag of spirit stones and weighed it, nodding.

"Sure."

Without wasting time, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Liang, see you later."

"..."

Liang Zhu didn't reply, just nodded, then brought out his flying sword and left with his burden in the northwestern direction.

After Liang Zhu's figure disappeared, Ye Anping checked the spirit stones bag and saw that it contained exactly seven thousand and five hundred spirit stones, no more, no less.

Ye Anping nodded in satisfaction, thinking that in a few days, he could take his sister to the best jewelry store around Black Star Sect town to pick out a nice necklace or bracelet.

Although this money was not stolen, he earned it from selling Feng Yu Die.

But... how should he explain where the money came from?

"Well... when the time comes, I'll just tell sister I won the lottery. I remember there are things like lottery tickets sold in the marketplace..."
