Reincarnated As a Fox With System Chapter 354 We Are Really Counting on You!

Chapter 354 We Are Really Counting on You!

The expression of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy went dark in an instant after she heard Elder Yang's words.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy bit her pink lips in worry before decided to ask with a hesitant tone: "You… will keep standing up for those girls, right? You will never comply with those groups of petty cowards, right?"

Elder Yang raised his eyebrow and glanced at Tang Li Xue's perfect copy, then asked back with a curious tone: "I wonder why do you always seem to care so much with those girls? You also acted like this when I was argued with them yesterday. Are you sure that they are not your friends or something?"

Thanks to her several upgraded skills last night, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy could remain really calm and did not panic under Elder Yang's doubtful questions.

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy lazily replied: "Because they are the same people like me. They are also rogue cultivators without any authority and power that wandering around randomly to many places, just like me. Oh, wait... There is something strange here... why don't those officials make me into a scapegoat too?"

Elder Yang chuckled and said: "Do you think that those rotten officials really do not want to do that?"

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy dropped her jaw in shock and disbelief before exclaimed in surprise: "Those rotten bast*rds really want to do that to me too?!"

Elder Yang immediately put up a smug expression and said: "Of course! Who do you think defended you from them? It is me! Without my help, you and those girls would be already detained in the dungeon and would be executed sooner or later. So, you should feel more grateful to me and treat me better from now on."

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy rolled her eyes at Elder Yang and replied with a mocking tone: "Honorable Elder Yang, please think carefully about it again. Do you really think those girls and me can enter the Imperial Palace of Feng Empire without the invitation from you? That is impossible, right?"

"In other words, we are all in this mess because of the invitation from you. If we somehow got detained or executed here, then all of those would be your fault, your sin! So, you better do your best to stand for us because it is your responsibility for bringing us into this mess. You should be the one that feels grateful and treat me better from now on since I am not blaming you for all of these." Tang Li Xue's perfect copy cleverly reversed Elder Yang's words while smiled mischievously.

Elder Yang: "..."

Elder Yang became speechless by the statement from Tang Li Xue's perfect copy. He subconsciously dropped his jaw and widened his eyes in shock, then forgot to close it for a few moments.

After saying all of those statements, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy felt really satisfied to see Elder Yang's dumbfounded expression, so she decided to walk ahead of Elder Yang and left him behind.

Elder Yang woke up from his dumbfounded state after a few moments and said while pointing his finger to his left: "Uh… you are heading in the wrong direction. We should be heading this way."

Tang Li Xue's perfect copy almost stumbled and fell when she heard Elder Yang's words, but she quickly steadied herself and turned around to head toward the direction where Elder Yang pointed.

Both of them kept talking and teasing each other in their way until they arrived at one of the crime scenes where all the officials in the room got slaughtered without any mercy.

This crime scene was the closest one to Elder Yang's Cherry Blossom Spring Palace. That was the reason why Elder Yang decided to inspect this place first.

At first, Elder did not let Tang Li Xue's perfect copy get close to the crime scene because the scene here was too gruesome for a young girl like her to see.

However, Elder Yang finally gave up under the insistent of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and let her come into the crime scene, but with the condition that she was not allowed to touch anything here without Elder Yang's permission.

…..

…

.

Meanwhile, Instructor Mei Lan, the real Tang Li Xue, and the others still got detained inside the room where they slept last night.

So many imperial guards kept watching them inside the room and guarding outside the door and windows.

There was really no way for them to secretly slip out without being seen by these imperial guards since these imperial guards kept watching their every movement so closely.

They were not even allowed to go to the toilet until now.

Of course, Instructor Mei Lan and all of her students could defeat all of these Imperial Guards very easily and forcefully break out from here, but they would certainly become the most wanted fugitives of the entire Tang Feng City.

But even the most powerful amongst them, Instructor Mei Lan, needs to stay really wary against the elders who protect Elder Yang, so they could not afford to do something reckless like that now.

Moreover, they still need to find the serial killer who currently hid in the Imperial Palace right now, so doing something brainless like that really did not make any sense at all.

Even Instructor Mei Lan was at her wit's end right now, and she could not find a way out from this deadlock situation.

At this moment, the real Tang Li Xue started to tell all the information she got from Elder Yang to Instructor Mei Lan with her newly acquired [Lock-On Telepathy] skill.

"From the information that Little Xue's clone got, our situation seems worse than I thought. Fortunately, that Elder Yang is nice enough to stand up for us this time, but we still do not know how far he would defend us, and I really do not like to put our fate in the human's hands. We cannot remain pa.s.sive like this. We need to do something really fast right now." Instructor Mei Lan whispered to all of her students with her [Telepathy] skill.

"But Instructor Lan, what should we do? We cannot even go to the toilet under these guards' watch right now! Should I just freeze all of them with my divine ability?" Bing Yi replied to Instructor Mei Lan with her [Telepathy] while gnashed her teeth in hatred and anger.

Bing Yi looked as if she could no longer hold herself back from attacking these rude imperial guards and teach them a very harsh lesson that they would never forget in their entire life.

"What a stupid Ice Girl?! Do you really think Instructor Lan really afraid of these n.o.bodies?! Just one snap of her finger is more than enough to knock out all of these guards! What Instructor Lan wary of is the powerful cultivators from Immortal Sword Sect! They are the reason why we cannot make any reckless move right now. Since we cannot afford to attract their attention and become their target while searching for the serial killer!" Hei Yinghao mercilessly mocked Bing Yi with his [Telepathy] skill.

Although both Bing Yi and Hei Yinghao were not really skilled yet in their [Telepathy] skills to communicate with some specific targets like Instructor Mei Lan and Tang Li Xue, but they still could use it to communicate right now since they were so close to each other.

Bing Yi glared at Hei Yinghao in anger for a few moments before turned her face away from him and decided to ignore him from now on.

"Instructor Lan, there is something that I still do not understand yet. That is true that the existence of Elder Yang and his several powerful protectors makes us and the serial killer very wary of them right now, and we cannot take any rash action because of them. But what about before Elder Yang came here? What is the true objective of the serial killer? Why didn't she finish off all of her targets and run far away from this city before Elder Yang came here? I really do not get it…" The real Tang Li Xue asked Instructor Mei Lan in confusion with her [Lock-On Telepathy] skill.

Instructor Mei Lan was stunned while kept staring at the real Tang Li Xue in amazement.

Tang Li Xue sensed Instructor Mei Lan's exaggerating reaction and became really embarra.s.sed.

"Err… Instructor Lan, I am sorry, but… do I said something wrong or weird just now? Why do you look at me like that?" Tang Li Xue asked Instructor Mei Lan with [Lock-On Telepathy] while blushed.

"No… Nothing strange or wrong at all. It's just... you seem a lot more reliable, mature, and smarter today compared to you from yesterday. You from yesterday will never even think that far and detailed." Instructor Mei Lan replied to Tang Li Xue in a strange doubtful tone with her [Telepathy].

"Ah?! Uhh… Really? Why I do not feel any different from yesterday?!" Tang Li Xue tried to deny it.

Instructor Mei Lan kept staring at Tang Li Xue while thinking deeply.

It made Tang Li Xue feel even more nervous under Instructor Mei Lan's intense stare, and she did not dare to stare back at Instructor Mei Lan's eyes.

Well… It was not like she could tell Instructor Mei Lan that she used many of her Skill Points to upgrade many of her skills with her system last night, right?

"All right, I have decided it. Little Xue, I will send you out from here soon to investigate the whereabouts of the serial killer and find her true ident.i.ty in this Imperial Palace." Instructor Mei Lan smiled gently and said to Tang Li Xue with her [Telepathy] while secretly patted on Tang Li Xue's shoulder.

"Eh? WHAT?! Ins… Instructor Lan, you are kidding with me, right? Even if you managed to send me out from here, I might not even be able to catch the serial killer's tail before getting knocked out by her! I am just a [Uncommon] grade… uhh… I mean, I am just a demonic beast! I am not even a Beast Lord like Bingbing and Silly Fox, while the serial killer is a Spirit Beast level monster!" Tang Li Xue immediately complained to Instructor Mei Lan with a darkened expression.

"Who told you to catch the serial killer? I only told you to investigate her whereabouts and find her true ident.i.ty in Imperial Palace, right? Oh… remember to do it secretly without being found by her. And then you only need to come back here and tell me everything. That is not so hard, right?" Instructor Mei Lan tried to persuade Tang Li Xue with her words in a solemn expression.

Tang Li Xue instantly thought: 'Not so hard, my *ss?! For G.o.d's sake, that is the suicide mission, isn't it?! Isn't it?!'

"Instructor Lan, I really cannot…" Tang Li Xue tried to reject Instructor Mei Lan's plan again, but Instructor Me Lan immediately interrupted Tang Li Xue's words before she could finish it.

"All right! It is decided then! Little Xue, I am really counting on you! NO! We are really counting on you! Our fate is in your hands right now!" Instructor Mei Lan put an even more solemn expression and encouraged Tang Li Xue while secretly patted her shoulder again.

Tang Li Xue almost fainted in an instant when she heard Instructor Mei Lan's words.

It seems Instructor Mei Lan already made up her mind, so Tang Li Xue could no longer reject this suicide mission anymore.
