### Chapter Seventy-One: The Pity of Daoist Hu

Yun Zhonghe’s spiritual energy delved into the small stone and discovered that the stone had an enhancing effect on concealment!

The hiding charms stuck to Yun Zhonghe and Mu Jixue were just plain paper with low-level magic effects.

If a high-cultivation powerhouse or someone with a magical treasure or ability to dispel hiding charms came around, those charms would be easily broken.

Yun Zhonghe speculated that maybe the Blue-clothed Person was worried about Yun Zhonghe and Mu Jixue’s lack of proficiency in concealment.

It didn’t matter if they were exposed, but the Blue-clothed Person right across from them could be revealed too.

With no other choice, he handed Yun Zhonghe the small stone.

However, it was true. Neither Yun Zhonghe nor Mu Jixue knew any magic.

“Brother Yun, is there someone over there?”

Mu Jixue sensed something was amiss, but Yun Zhonghe immediately pushed her head down.

“Don’t speak, continue lying down.”

Mu Jixue was very annoyed.

Stop pushing my head! Height doesn’t make you a king! I’ll bite you to death!

Sure enough, through the cabinet gap, Yun Zhonghe saw those people pull out a small pearl-like object and scan the room with eerie purple light. Yun Zhonghe and Mu Jixue suddenly felt like they had been stripped naked.

Mu Jixue immediately tensed up, thinking she was about to be discovered. She pressed herself even tighter against him.

“Tsk! Not here, I don’t believe I can’t find that brat! Search every room, don’t miss a single one!”

“Yes, sir!”

Earlier, Yun Zhonghe felt the voice was familiar. He peeked, and it turned out to be Mayor Wu!

So they were looking for that bloated-eyed Blue-clothed Person?

After failing to find anything with their gadgets, the crowd left, but Yun Zhonghe and the others still hid in the cabinet. About half an incense stick later, the group returned with a vengeance.

Yun Zhonghe was grateful for his caution, possibly because he had been cautious after years of dealing with tricky situations. He took everything into consideration carefully, which was largely due to Huan Aotian’s influence.

“The rooms are still empty,” said Mayor Wu’s face turning from green to red as he called others to search other courtyards.

“Where did that little brat go?”

“Hurry up finding him, otherwise you will replace him!”

The noisy crowd distanced themselves again.

In the cabinet, the trio waited for longer.

Finally, after half an hour, when no one remained, the Blue-clothed Person exhaled a sigh of relief.

They pushed open the door, stepped out of the cabinet, and took a deep breath.

“I swear… I never want to hide with you in a cabinet again!”

Mu Jixue emerged, blushing and covering her chest.

Could anyone believe that all she felt was her face touching Yun Zhonghe’s cheek through just a pair of pants for over an hour?!

Ugh! She felt dirty!

What’s more incredible was that it seemed so enormous, much wider than her wrist, even without entering battle mode.

No wonder the people of Cangzhou City say Yun Clan’s descendants are incredibly intense. Many brothels refuse to have them for fear of draining the endurance of the girls.

Because it was too impactful, Mu Jixue couldn’t forget the terrible scale. Her mind was engraved with Yun Zhonghe’s proportions, and it made her want to cry.

Yun Zhonghe was uncertain why Mu Jixue was thinking such filthy thoughts. He kept a wary eye on the Blue-clothed Person, ready to react.

“Hey, fellow cultivator, why are you hiding here too?”

Yun Zhonghe could sense the other person using some kind of illusionary disguise. This wasn’t his real appearance. Even if it was, this person looked like a pig’s head, revealing nothing normal.

This injury must’ve been severe.

Maybe due to disfigurement, the person refused to remove the disguise, maintaining a facade. His gender might be unknown until then.

“I happened to be training near this town, but I had bad luck and got caught.”

Oh, so another unfortunate soul.

Yun Zhonghe’s gaze toward the Blue-clothed Person softened a bit as he explained his situation: “We are from the Immortal Alliance, here to investigate the disappearance case of this town. One of our companions disappeared, so we sneaked in via a secret passage hoping to find some clues.”

But the surroundings seemed crowded and challenging to investigate.

Using game terminology, it was like having enemies everywhere on a map.

Moreover, Yun Zhonghe and Mu Jixue were unfamiliar with the terrain and routes, navigating step by step cautiously.

“I might know where the person you’re looking for is.”

The Blue-clothed Person applied medicine from a vial onto his face as he spoke.

Given the severe extent of the injury, the illusionary disguise was awful as well. So until it healed, he wouldn’t undo the disguise, which hinted at his remarkable stature.

Not even Yun Zhonghe himself could use a storage ring yet.

“Do you know where Xiaoyu is?!”

Upon hearing a clue, Mu Jixue finally snapped back to reality.

The Blue-clothed Person nodded: “When I was caught, they sent me there. But they wanted to send me to the monster earlier, so I escaped on the way.”

Thinking of the search party, Yun Zhonghe nodded in understanding.

The Blue-clothed Person said, “You want to save people? Go southeast, there’s a fake mountain. The fake mountain has a stone block with a mechanism that leads straight to the dungeon. Some people are held there.”

The medicine pinched; the Blue-clothed Person winced slightly.

There was something Yun Zhonghe had been wanting to ask: “Fellow cultivator, your face… was it beaten by these people?”

“No, it’s just… I was stung by a thousand-flower bee.”

This Blue-clothed fellow named Hu and whose full name is unknown. He should just be a minor character in a video game.

His life was a series of tragic moments.

Rumors said the Thousand-Flower Bees infested the forest near Qingzhu Town. Fortunately, Hu needed those honeys, so he traveled far.

Who knew whether it was good luck or bad luck, but he found the bees, the hive, and the honey. Unfortunately, he was spotted while retreating.

Thousand-Flower Bees are extremely angry when their hard-earned honey is taken, attacking furiously.

Though only at the third level of Qi Refinement, a few thousand of them can take down an elephant.

If a powerful Yuan Ying came, they’d probably run away too.

Hu Daoist tried every trick, but ended up covered in swellings.

His entire face swelled dramatically, causing severe damage that wasn’t physical but certainly humiliating. So, he kept the disguise to hide this mess.

And the Thousand-Flower Bee’s sting had venom, paralyzing prey.

Paralyzed, Hu Daoist collapsed at the forest’s edge and was picked up by the Qingzhu Town puppets, leading to his imprisonment.
