Taoist priest in the foggy capital

Chapter 616: Meeting at the Theater

"I see Yin Xiu, he was indeed very tired last night."Laura Fountain poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Rowe. Luo Wei took the coffee and threw down two pieces of candy. "How did you know?" Speaking of this, Laura Fonnna's face couldn't help but look a little resentful. "Because he came into my room last night and just slept on the bed. He just lay down and fell asleep. As for other things, he didn't do anything." "Then he is really exhausted." Luo Wei finished his coffee, took the cup of felt hat, and was about to stand up. "What are you doing?" Laura Fonnna asked confused. "Of course we have to hurry up and find Jia Jingjing." Luo Wei glanced at the door of Laura Fountain's room again. "No matter how powerful Yin Xiu is, he is still a mortal. He will get tired sometimes. Unlike us, it doesn't matter if we don't sleep for a few days." "That's why I sent all my family members out to search for Jia Jingjing's whereabouts day and night."

Laura Founa stopped Luo Wei and said, "Instead of running around, I will have to ask someone to notify you when I find the person. Why don't you just wait here?" Seeing that Luo Wei was still worried, Laura Foanna emphasized again: “Don’t worry, it may not be possible to find someone, but to hunt down others, this is the strength of us villains. Just as they hunted us before, we will hunt down the ballerina Jia Jingjing now." As she spoke, she took out the picture of Jia Jingjing and licked her lips. "Such a lovely beauty, I don't know whether her blood is sweet or salty." Luo Wei glanced at her and said, "Didn't you say that you haven't sucked human blood for a long time?" "Then maybe I will change my mind because of her?" Laura Foner smiled. "She is really guilty of a great crime." Luo Wei shook his head. Although he knew that Laura Fonnna was joking, it still made him feel creepy. While they were chatting, a bat suddenly came in from the gap beside the window, landed in front of them, and started chirping. Laura Fonnna's expression suddenly changed, "They found Jia Jingjing." Just as he finished speaking, the door opened and Yoon-soo ran out, his shirt unbuttoned. Luo Wei was startled, looked left and right, and asked curiously: "Why are there several lip marks on your face?" "Lip marks? No? Didn't I take a shower last night? Didn't I wash it clean?" Just as Yin Xiu was about to reach out to touch his face, Laura Fountain came over. "Oh, don't worry, she can't get away. All the people in the port leaving Dunling are ours." She took out a handkerchief from her clothes and wiped Yin Xiu's face, then calmly helped him button his shirt. "That woman is still watching a play in a theater on Wellington Street. She is very leisurely. I will arrange a carriage and we will go there immediately." "You have to hold on tight, otherwise she will run away." Luo Wei reminded. "Don't worry, she's watching The Nibelung, it won't be finished in a few days."

Laura Fontaine snapped her fingers, and several servants immediately appeared at the door, waiting to take them to the car. "Let's go." Laura Fountain smiled and was the first to step out of the room. …… In the theater, apart from the stage, only the narrow corridor was lit, and the rest of the place was pitch black. Everyone seemed to be immersed in ink, with their mouths closed and their eyes fixed on the actors on the stage. The actors spoke in loud and high voices, and used body movements to express the characters' emotions and inner thoughts, sometimes tense, sometimes expansive, and dancing gracefully. Yin Xiu and Luo Wei acted separately, each entering from a corridor, while Laura Fountain waited outside, after all, she was a little too dazzling to some extent. Whether it's her identity or her beauty. As soon as Yin Xiu came in, he looked around and looked for a place to sit down. Just then, a hand suddenly pulled him and pulled Yin Xiu to sit on the chair. Yoon Soo turned around and saw that it was Dorothy. "Why are you here?" Dorothy adjusted her glasses, lowered her voice, and moved closer to Yin Xiu, and when she opened her mouth, water vapor sprayed on his face. “The Nibelungen is being performed in Dunling for the first time in ten years. Even in Berlin, where it was born, the play is not often performed because it takes too long and requires a lot of actors. I think if it was Miss Tiffany, she would not miss this rare performance. " "Especially when you know you can't get out of the port, right?" Dorothy glanced at him and said, "Maybe, but I prefer to believe that Miss Tiffany stayed here just to watch this show. After all, when she was on stage, I could see that she loved opera from the bottom of her heart and she didn’t just treat it as a career.” “This is so rare!” Yoon Soo nodded, "So do you like your job?" Dorothy paused, as if she was thinking about something, but she finally sighed, "This is the happiest place in the world now, can we not mention those things that spoil the fun?" "Feel sorry." Yin Xiu took the bottle of wine from his pocket, took a sip, and handed it to Dorothy, "Want a sip?" Dorothy looked at the bottle mouth, then looked at Yin Xiu, and finally took it and took a small sip. "This whiskey must be aged for seventy years, right?" "do not know." Yin Xiu carefully put the cap back on the bottle. "I found these in the cellar of the Nicholas family castle. They are several old wooden barrels with black surfaces." "That's no wonder. The lifespans of those vampires are so long that there is enough time for those collections to become extremely valuable and long-lasting."

"But time doesn't make a stone valuable, does it?" "You are a gentleman who speaks in a very philosophical way." Dorothy moved closer to Yin Xiu again, her shoulder almost touching his. As her eyes became more and more blurred, a sharp cough was heard behind her. Dorothy turned around and met the eyes of a woman with a fat face. "Is there a problem, ma'am?" Dorothy asked dissatisfiedly. "I don't have any problem." The woman covered her face with a feather fan. "I mean, if you two don't want to watch a play, but want to find a quiet, dark place to talk about love, you should go to a hotel, or find a corner in the park outside, such as the sturdy chair near the lake." "Do you go there often?" Dorothy rolled her eyes. "of course." The woman blinked her eyes. "That chair is very sturdy. It can definitely withstand your tossing and turning." "No, thank you." Dorothy blushed, sat more seriously, and pulled her feet back. Yin Xiu's face didn't change, he just asked, "So, you actually knew earlier than us that Jia Jingjing was back here, right?" "Why, are you doubting that I don't intend to cooperate with you?" Dorothy tucked her hair behind her ears. "It's just my guess. Don't take it seriously. It's just like a song you hum in the shower or a thought that suddenly flashes through your mind before going to bed. It's not appropriate to talk about something that I'm not sure about myself." "But we now know for sure that she is here." Yin Xiu smiled and said, "She is very brave. She didn't disguise herself, nor did she try to hide. She just sits here and watches the show. Isn't she just waiting for us to catch her?" Somehow, Dorothy suddenly felt that Jia Jingjing was a little pitiful. In fact, given the current situation, no matter where she hides in Dunling, she will never be able to escape the dual pursuit of the Inquisition and the vampires. In other words, it is only a matter of time before she is caught. But Dorothy also wanted to meet her. As she had said before, she wanted to confirm that her idol was still alive and could help her. Every era has its fanatical fans, and Dorothy is one of them. But she had one more request. Turning her head and looking around, she saw many men in black who had appeared and sat down beside her. Dorothy asked, "Just as a greeting, can you tell her to finish reading "Nibelungen" before you take action?" "How much longer?" Yin Xiu took out his pocket watch. "About a quarter of an hour, just a quarter of an hour." Dorothy's eyes twinkled. "Sure. A quarter of an hour is not too long. As long as she doesn't have to go to the bathroom." "Don't worry, no one will be willing to take their eyes away from such a wonderful opera."

As the actors on the stage jumped and danced in harmony with the music, everyone seemed to have entered another strange world and time. Before we knew it, the play was over, the audience stood up and applauded, and the curtain fell. In just a short moment, everything changed extremely quickly, from the original grandeur to the bustle, and then to the silence after the curtain fell. After almost all the audience had left, the only people left in the theater's auditorium were the men in black who had come with Yin Xiu and Luo Wei. Laura Fonnna, surrounded by several of her subordinates, also walked into the theater with her head held high. "Where is that bitch?" she asked loudly. "Can you be more polite?" Yin Xiu frowned and pointed to a corner of the audience, where several men in black were sitting upright. And in the center of the area surrounded by their seats, there sat a woman. Yin Xiu couldn't see her face from this side, only her beautiful black hair hanging under a simple white flower headband. "Is that her?" Laura Fontaine lifted her skirt and was about to go over, but Yin Xiu and Luo Wei had already gotten ahead of her. "Be careful, she might not be easy to mess with." "She's not easy to deal with, so am I easy to deal with?" Laura Founa was quite unconvinced, "Now, everyone here is my people." "I know, but maybe she's really good?" "Well, then, it doesn't matter." Even as she said this, Laura Fonnna still took a few steps back and asked Luo Wei and Yin Xiu to stand in front of her. After taking a deep breath, Yin Xiu stretched out his hand to signal others not to act rashly. Then he walked over slowly and sat down in the seat one seat away from Jia Jingjing, and caught a glimpse of her soft and quiet profile. She was wearing a red cheongsam, a white shawl, and a pair of light white leather shoes, revealing her delicate instep. "Are you Jia Jingjing, or the Red Emperor?" Hearing the question, Jia Jingjing turned around, and her beautiful face made people lose their minds. "I'm not the Red Emperor, but I am Jia Jingjing for sure." She was very calm, both her expression and voice were so gentle, as jade. "Where is the real Red Emperor?" "I won't tell you." Jia Jingjing glanced at Yin Xiu and said, "You are different from what I imagined." "Different?" Yin Xiu smiled, "What kind of person do you think I am in your imagination?"

"According to my imagination and what others have described to me, you should be an ambitious person who wants to achieve the Primordial Saint Body by gathering all the Dragon Emperor's sons, so as to achieve immortality and unify the nine provinces." "So the Dragon Emperor's son has this effect?" Yin Xiu didn't care. "I just want to know where the Red Emperor is. If I'm not mistaken, he should be a Taoist priest from Mount Laoshan." As he spoke, Yin Xiu performed a sword gesture, which was a ritual performed by Taoists when they met. Jia Jingjing subconsciously returned the salute by raising one hand above her head. It was a lower-level salute, the same ritual for an apprentice to salute a Taoist priest. After responding to Yin Xiu's salute, Jia Jingjing blushed, knowing that her identity had been exposed - she was an apprentice who had just entered Taoism, had not practiced much Taoist techniques, and had a lot to learn. Of course, in Taoism, such people are not called apprentices. Others generally call them disciples of Taoist priests. Yin Xiu is a Taoist priest who has not yet been formally ordained, but is basically a master, while Jia Jingjing is still just a disciple. However, this difference has no impact at this moment. What really has an impact is that Jia Jingjing exposed her identity. Her eyes darkened. "I have indeed lost. All the things I did in Europe, the conspiracy, the fighting, and the killing, were finally crushed by the two of you." She glanced at Laura Fountain again, "Or rather, the three of them. When the Nicholas family sided with you, the outcome of everything was already determined." "You are too ambitious." Yin Xiu took out the wine bottle again, took a sip, and shook it at Jia Jingjing. Jia Jingjing shook her head and refused. Yin Xiu did not force him, but said calmly: "Strong liquor is mellow and has a pleasant aroma. It can warm you up and increase your strength. But if you drink too fast, your throat will choke, and you will get drunk easily, vomit, and have a headache the next day. What I'm saying is, Jia Jingjing, you are too ambitious and act too quickly. If you are willing to take things slower, run your business with peace of mind, wait for the Nicholas family to run into trouble, and then unify the other families besides the vampires, instead of triggering the massive vampire war in advance, then in a few years, even the Inquisition will have to respect you. We have an old saying that goes, "Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish, the principles are the same." "Of course the principle is the same." Jia Jingjing did not deny Yin Xiu's statement, and did admit that she was anxious, acted a little too hastily, and seemed too impatient in everything. "But……" She murmured, her eyes somewhat desperate. "But time is running out." (End of this chapter)
