Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 170 So that's how it is

That evening, Xu Yao and Chen Yue quietly returned to the woman's place. The two of them sneaked into the woman's residence.

Then they began to carefully search for the Wind-blown Grass.

To be honest, Su Chen himself didn't know where the Wind-Swept Grass was, but Chen Yue's men had discovered that it was in this woman's hands.

So most likely there won't be any problems, but the issue right now is that the Wind-blown Grass itself is quite important.

Since Chen Yue needs it, Xu Yao is naturally going to help.

However, this Wind-blown Grass was no ordinary thing, so Xu Yao and Chen Yue spent a long time working on it here.

There was nothing there, which put Su Chen in a bit of a predicament.

After all, it's obvious when you think about it. The situation is right here, and if something else really happens...

That would naturally be the best option, but that's the problem, and Xu Yao himself knows that.

If they actually manage to create something else, that would be the best outcome.

Just then, Xu Yao spotted a house with lights on ahead.

Upon seeing the house, Xu Yao said to Chen Yue, "Let's go take a look; maybe we'll find something."

Chen Yue nodded, and the two headed straight ahead.

Soon, Xu Yao brought Chen Yue inside and they heard what the people inside were saying.

"Hey Xu Lan, is what you're saying reliable?" a man's voice rang out.

Xu Yao glanced out the window and saw that Xu Lan was talking to someone else.

The man was about forty years old, with bright, piercing eyes, giving off a very dignified air.

That's a feeling of being very shrewd and capable.

However, the matter is now quite complicated. Xu Yao overheard the man's words by chance and that's why he listened carefully.

Xu Lan then said to the man, "What's the point of whether this is reliable or not? Let me put it this way."

"I've figured this out. If we continue like this, it's obviously not going to work. But if we don't take action by tomorrow..."

"Chen Yue is bound to want to know our whereabouts. You should know that Chen Yue is now working with Xu Yao."

"If we don't take action against Chen Yue soon, things might get complicated for the Chen family."

Xu Lan's words caused the two eavesdroppers outside to exchange glances, both seeing the schadenfreude in each other's eyes.

Because what was originally about the Wind-Swept Grass ended up being overheard about plans to deal with Chen Yue.

It seems that Xu Lan was also involved in the poisoning of the Chen family patriarch.

Sure enough, the man said to Xu Lan, "The poison I gave this Chen family patriarch, 'Bloodthirsty Throat,' is still holding up even now."

"It's clear that the Chen family head is truly powerful. What do you think about continuing like this?"

"I'm afraid this won't do us any good either. If we continue like this, I'm afraid there really won't be any other way."

Xu Lancai said helplessly, "Do you think I don't know? It's precisely because I know about this that I'm taking action ahead of time."

"Who would have thought that the head of the Chen family could even withstand such a deadly poison as 'instant death'?"

"To be honest, I really admire him," Xu Lan said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yue felt an urge to rush in and tear all these people to pieces.

However, Xu Yao stopped Chen Yue, signaling her not to act rashly to avoid alerting the enemy.

And so, the two continued to listen to what the people inside were saying, putting everything else aside.

Fortunately, that's the problem right now, and there's really no other way to solve it.

In short, Xu Yao was lucky to have learned about this matter by sheer coincidence.

After listening for a while and confirming that there was nothing else of significance, Xu Yao quietly left with Chen Yue.

Upon returning, Chen Yue angrily exclaimed, "This woman is so vicious! I thought this had nothing to do with her!"

Xu Yao said, "There's no rush for now. You all know the answer for yourselves."

"Let's get these things sorted out first, and then we can deal with everything else later. As for other things, that's not something we should worry about."

"However, I've thought it through now. Tomorrow we'll go to the Ghost Market and get the Moon Illusion Grass for that appraiser."

"Once we get the Moon Illusion Grass, things will be much easier, but we can't let our guard down yet."

"In any case, let's get the Moon Illusion Grass first and repay the appraiser's favor," Xu Yao said.

Chen Yue nodded, knowing what she had to do.

The next day, Xu Yao took Chen Yue directly to the Ghost Market.

There are some interesting things about this ghost market.

If you say this ghost market is a black market, that's not really the case. At least there's some truth to it.

Unlike the black market, which is sometimes purely a case of black people eating black people.

But if you say this ghost market isn't a black market, then the things that circulate in the black market also circulate in the ghost market, so many things are here.

In short, Xu Yao is taking Chen Yue to the Ghost Market to get his hands on the Moon Illusion Grass.

Just then, Xu Yao led Chen Yue to the Ghost Market, where Xu Yao saw the Ghost Market.

It seemed that some suspicious people were following him.

However, none of that is the main point. The main point is that Xu Yao can now sense that these guys really seem to be planning to harm him and Chen Yue.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao said to Chen Yue, "Be careful, this matter is not that simple."

"We also need to be careful; it seems like someone is after us."

Hearing Xu Yao's words, Chen Yue nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"These guys aren't really that great; dealing with them is child's play."

At this moment, Xu Yaocai led Chen Yue slowly forward.

Along the way, Xu Yao and Chen Yue deliberately led these suspicious people around in roundabout ways.

However, these people tried to make a move several times, but failed each time, which made Su Chen want to laugh.

The main reason is that these guys are really stupid, which is why Xu Yao treats them this way.

I also found it somewhat interesting.

Fortunately, the matter is now completely over, which at least gives Xu Yao a sense of relief.

These guys are incredibly stupid; they can't even kill properly.
