The location of Jia-zi Number Seventeen was indeed as the shop assistant had described, next to a courtyard, a relatively secluded spot on the second floor.

Mo Wuji touched the dagger strapped to his calf. His plan was to launch a surprise attack, knock Tuoba Qi unconscious, then take Jing Lengbei away and have her secretly leave immediately. He believed that as long as he didn't kill Tuoba Qi, the Immortal Master would definitely not investigate for the sake of a female slave. And Tuoba Qi was about to board the ship, so he naturally wouldn't investigate, let alone send people to search; at most, he would have to swallow his anger and accept the loss.

Having seen Hu Fei's example, Mo Wuji had already made plans. If this Tuoba Qi was very powerful and he couldn't knock him unconscious, he would simply kill him and then escape. Killing Tuoba Qi and not killing Tuoba Qi were completely different for him. If he killed Tuoba Qi, he had to leave.

"Little County Prince, that guy is already preparing to leave. Because of our competition with that bastard, the female slaves suddenly became popular. He sold all the female slaves he brought. When I came, he was packing his things. I guess this guy is leaving soon." A voice came, and Mo Wuji, hiding under the window at the corner of the room, heard it clearly.

There was actually someone else in Tuoba Qi's room, which Mo Wuji hadn't anticipated. He had guessed that a domineering little County Prince like Tuoba Qi would definitely live in a room alone. If there were two people, his plan would have some problems.

Tuoba Qi's cold snort came, "He took my gold coins and wants to leave unscathed? Don't even dream about it. Jia Jing, take two people to secretly kill him and bring back all the gold coins. Do it a little further away from here, do it cleanly, and don't leave any evidence."

Mo Wuji didn't expect this guy to think the same way he did. He was also planning to secretly follow and kill the fat merchant after he left. He just didn't expect the fat merchant to leave so quickly. If it weren't for coming to this place, he wouldn't even have known the fat merchant was leaving.

"Young Master, then I'll leave first. Don't worry, I will definitely retrieve the gold coins." The man named Jia Jing responded, and then Mo Wuji heard the creaking sound of the door opening.

After the sound of footsteps disappeared, Mo Wuji walked to the door and knocked.

"Who is it?" Tuoba Qi's voice came.

Mo Wuji imitated Jia Jing's voice and whispered, "Little County Prince, I thought of a better way and want to come in and discuss it with you."

Originally, Mo Wuji was planning to enter through the window, but after hearing Jia Jing's voice, he temporarily changed his mind.

"Creak..." The door opened again.

Mo Wuji flashed into the room at the fastest speed, raised his hand and punched Tuoba Qi in the temple.

How could Tuoba Qi have imagined that Jia Jing would come back and give him a punch? He didn't even see Jia Jing's face clearly, and he felt his head buzz. Then he was knocked to the ground by Mo Wuji's punch and fainted on the spot.

Mo Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door casually, and poured a bottle of medicinal liquid into Tuoba Qi's mouth. He was sure that this bottle of medicinal liquid would make Tuoba Qi sleep for a whole day.

After doing these things, Mo Wuji looked at the woman sitting on the side. Although he had seen this woman as soon as he came in, he didn't have time to look at her carefully at the time. Now, looking at this woman carefully, he realized that the fat merchant really hadn't lied.

This woman was indeed more beautiful than Mo Xiangtong, with shoulder-length hair, an oval face, and skin like creamy jade. Although her eyes were a little dull, they looked at Mo Wuji with a hint of surprise, as if she didn't understand why Mo Wuji had such courage.

"Are you Jing Lengbei?" Mo Wuji asked, and took out a black scarf from his pocket.

The woman suddenly stood up, looking at Mo Wuji even more suspiciously, "How do you know my name is Jing Lengbei? Although she was sold, she never told anyone her name. In fact, no one cares what her name is. All she has is a number."

"Enough nonsense, I was entrusted by Mo Xiangtong to rescue you. Put on this scarf and come with me immediately. When I talk to the shop assistant downstairs and block his view, you take the opportunity to leave the tavern and wait for me outside." Mo Wuji said, handing the scarf to Jing Lengbei.

"Ah, Xiangtong..." Jing Lengbei quickly understood, perhaps her family misfortune had made her mature. She didn't even ask anything and put the scarf that Mo Wuji handed her around her neck.

Mo Wuji felt that it was very pleasant to cooperate with this woman. He whispered, "Follow me, remember to keep a distance from me. When you see me talking to the shop assistant, you walk past me from behind."

"Got it." Jing Lengbei nodded, her voice trembling. She didn't know if it was excitement or fear.

Mo Wuji casually closed Tuoba Qi's door. If he couldn't kill this guy, he would really want to pull out his dagger and slash his neck. There were Immortal Masters here. Once he killed Tuoba Qi, he estimated that they would investigate him soon.

Jing Lengbei followed Mo Wuji from a distance. She saw Mo Wuji patting a shop assistant's shoulder in the lobby on the first floor, and the two seemed to be talking and laughing.

Although she didn't know how Mo Wuji did it, she still lowered her head, hurried past the two, and quickly left the tavern.

"I didn't expect your young lady to be resting, so you didn't see her. It's okay, you can go straight up whenever you come next time." The tavern shop assistant seemed a little embarrassed that Mo Wuji hadn't seen his young lady because he had received Mo Wuji's gold coins.

Seeing that Jing Lengbei had left, Mo Wuji thanked him with a smile, "Okay, then I'll take my leave first. After all, some people don't like me staying here. It's not good to stay for too long."

The shop assistant was very satisfied with Mo Wuji's tact and personally sent Mo Wuji to the door.

After leaving the tavern, Mo Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it hadn't developed to the point where he had to kill Tuoba Qi. He saw Jing Lengbei waiting on the side from afar and hurried over to her, whispering, "Follow me."

There were many people in this area, and no one noticed the two walking by.

Half an hour later, Mo Wuji took Jing Lengbei back to the tent. Ding Bu'er was indeed setting up a new tent not far away as he had said.

"Xiangtong, is that really you?" The moment Jing Lengbei saw Mo Xiangtong, she finally felt relieved. Mo Wuji wasn't lying to her.

"Sister Bei, you're okay, that's great..." Mo Xiangtong's eyes were still a little red and swollen, and it looked like she had cried again after Mo Wuji left.

Then she remembered how Mo Wuji had rescued Jing Lengbei and quickly asked, "Wuji, how did you rescue Sister Bei? You didn't kill anyone, did you?"

She also knew that it was difficult to get away with murder in this place. If Mo Wuji had really killed someone, then they had to escape immediately.

"We're leaving now, we'll talk about other things later." Mo Wuji said hurriedly.

He had no way and no ability to take Mo Xiangtong and Jing Lengbei to the Imperial Capital. Even he was risking his life for this spot.

"Brother Wuji, after I heard what Bu'er said, I knew what you were going to do. You dared to do such a big thing. Did you really kill that Tuoba Qi?" Along with this eager voice, Yuan Zhenyi, Shi Yiniang, and Ding Bu'er appeared at the tent door.

The one speaking was Yuan Zhenyi.
