Seize the opportunity to be cannon fodder?It's better not to ascend at all

Chapter 44: Determined
Yuan Qingyu was about to collapse.

"It's me, it's me who's too arrogant and thinks that my plan is perfect. It's me who's self-righteous and allows those bastards to take advantage of me. I'm sorry for those girls!"

Yuan Qingyu sobbed, and Ye Changqing looked at Yuan Qingyu who blamed himself, not knowing what to do.

"Yue, you're here, please comfort Master."

Ye Changqing pulled Yin Yue aside, "Master, she seems to have never experienced this kind of thing. This blow made her collapse."

Yin Yue sighed, Yuan Qingyu is really... a child at heart.

Although Yuan Qingyu also executed commissions, they were all completed under the leadership of Tantai Chuixue.

This is the first time that I really go on a mission by myself.

However, this Waterloo directly penetrated Yuan Qingyu's fragile mind.

Yin Yue was very helpless. If Yuan Qingyu was not allowed to recover, there would be no solution in the future.

"Yuan Qingyu! Now is not the time for you to blame yourself!"

Yin Yue didn't waste much time and directly pulled Yuan Qingyu up from the ground.

Yin Yue stared into Yuan Qingyu's eyes and said sternly, "Yuan Qingyu, you have to know that you are the person with the highest cultivation level now, and the safety of those girls is in your hands. If even you collapse, who can Save them?"

"Please wake up! There are still people waiting for you to save! Don't fall into confusion just because of a temporary failure!"

Yin Yue was very loud, and Yuan Qingyu gradually stopped crying.

"Xiao Yueyue, you, you are right, I need to cheer up, they are still waiting for me."

Yuan Qingyu also knew the heavy responsibility he shouldered, and quickly regained his composure under Yin Yue's gentle persuasion.

"Well, seniors, what should we do next?"

The speaker was Mu Xiaoxiao, she asked weakly.

"You... saw everything just now?"

Yuan Qingyu felt like she was struck by lightning. It would be okay if only her apprentice saw her cowardly look, but if an outsider saw her, she would be embarrassed and disgraced.

Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at Yuan Qingyu, and then quickly lowered her head.

"I'm sorry, senior, I've been seen in everything. Really, I really don't know anything."

"Forget it, Master, business is more important."

Yin Yue persuaded, and then said to Mu Xiaoxiao, "You'd better forget what you saw, whether you saw it or not."

Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head, "I know."

Yuan Qingyu used the transformation technique again and returned to the girl's appearance. Then she gathered everyone together to check the battle situation.

There were not many casualties among the monks, but the mortals in the caravan suffered heavy losses. Most of them were affected by the aftermath of the monks' battle.

Most of the snake people who died were in the Qi Refining Stage, and there were not many snake people in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Yuan Qingyu was silent for a long time after hearing this.

"Let Mu Yangqing pay more compensation."

Yuan Qingyu said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go back."

On the way back, Yuan Qingyu's mood was extremely low, and Yin Yue didn't say anything when she saw this.

"Yue, why is this happening? I feel like Master's plan is fine."

Ye Changqing was puzzled and couldn't figure out what went wrong.

"Don't you understand? There is a mole in Muye City. The details of our plan have been revealed. Otherwise, how would they know where to attack?"

Yin Yue directly pointed out her guess, her face gloomy.

"The plan is fine, but only if there are no moles."

"That's it! Don't let me catch that mole!"

Yuan Qingyu said angrily, casually hammering the air aside, and directly hammered out the air cannon.

This made Mu Xiaoxiao tremble.

……

"Oh, is that so? It's quite worry-free."

...When everyone returned to Muye City, Yin Yue was the first to notice something was wrong.

They did not fly, but entered Muye City directly from the city gate.

But why do the people along the way look at them with disgust?
Yuan Qingyu didn't seem to notice this moment, and hurriedly walked towards the city lord's mansion.

After Yin Yue thought for a moment, she took Ye Changqing to the corner.

"Changqing, have you found any problems?"

"Are the people looking at us wrong?" Ye Changqing asked doubtfully, "I noticed it, but why?"

"So we have to find the truth."

Yin Yue pulled Ye Changqing, used the transformation technique, and blended into the crowd.

"What immortals from Taixuanmen! I think they are a group of scourges!"

"That's right. It's okay to stay in the city quietly, but you have to go out of the city!"

"The immortal masters of Taixuan Sect are here to solve the problem. You'd better say less."

"Why don't we let people talk about what happened? If they hadn't insisted on going out, those innocent children wouldn't have died."

"They could have been fine, but it was those people who caused them to be kidnapped by the snake men!"

Yin Yue understood quite well after hearing this. It turned out that the news of the failure of the plan had been reported back to Muye City.

But it shouldn't be. How did the people know about their failed plan so quickly?
Unless someone deliberately spreads rumors to make people feel bad about them.

"I see."

Ye Changqing suddenly realized, "What should we do?"

Yin Yue shook her head, "Don't worry about it for now. Although public opinion will bring us some trouble, as long as Master can stabilize her mentality, the rest won't be a problem."

Yin Yue felt that the biggest problem in this mission was not how to find the snake man, but Yuan Qingyu's mentality.

Yuan Qingyu's cultivation level is there, and he will be able to solve it sooner or later.But Yuan Qingyu's mentality is completely in line with her age. If Yuan Qingyu is not strong enough, it will be difficult to complete this mission.

"Let's go find Master."

At the same time, inside the palace of the lord of Muye City.

"how can that be?"

Mu Yangqing shook his head repeatedly, "I don't believe they will betray Muye City."

"Father, I think it may be true."

Mu Xiaoxiao said on behalf of Yuan Qingyu, "The plan was originally foolproof, but there was such a big flaw in the middle. If there was no insider, it would be impossible."

"But……"

"I don't want to hear it."

Yuan Qingyu directly interrupted Mu Yangqing's words with a serious attitude.

"Call me everyone who knows about this matter. I want to question them one by one."

"It's… okay."

Soon, Mu Yangqing brought three people.

"This is Huang Yunian, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, who is responsible for organizing the caravan."

"This is Yue Chen, the commander of the city defense army. The monks I sent are all his subordinates."

"This is Muye City Lord Bo Xu Qingxuan, and he will formulate the collective details of this plan."

Mu Yangqing introduced the three of them to Yuan Qingyu, and then said, "Three of you, this is Venerable Qingyu from Taixuan Sect."

"I have seen His Holiness."

The three of them are only golden elixirs, and their cultivation level is not as good as Mu Yangqing's.

"There is no need for unnecessary etiquette."

Yuan Qingyu waved her hand and said directly, "Now, tell me the specific details of your responsibilities in the plan, and how much you know about the plan, I want to know."

"You'd better not use tricks in front of me. I have my own way of distinguishing truth from lies."
