Wei Jie wasn't so foolish as to not be able to differentiate between militia and regular soldiers.
Extorting money was one possibility. Another possibility was that Granny Yan had ordered the militia to kidnap them.
"No matter what, I have to go."
Six o'clock counted as night, and eight o'clock counted as ten.
The note didn't tell him what time to go over. Other than the vague time, it was also very vague who to look for. It meant that the person who left the note was the boss of the Thousand Households Institute, and they could find him if they went over.
To be able to become a Militia Thousand Households Official, his cultivation must not be bad. Wei Jie guessed that the person was at least a Pond-level master.
After today, he would be able to obtain the Cultivation Experience Card. There were still a few hours left!
Wei Jie's expression was gloomy. He counted all the equipment that he could use and put on the bag of anklets from the Divine Might General's Estate. He said to the System," Activate the Ruyi Treasure Robe's invisibility function!”
"Ding! Are you sure you want to use 1000 favorable impression points to activate this function?”
"Yes!"
"Ding! The invisibility function has been activated. The time limit is 2 hours. Only the upper body is effective."
What? You dropped the ball at the critical moment?
Wei Jie was shocked when he heard that and shouted," Only the upper body is invisible? Does that mean that others can see my body below my waist?”
The System calmly explained," Once you gather the entire set, you can become invisible.”
" F * ck…"
Wei Jie almost kneeled before the system.
F * ck! What a trap!
He quickly looked at the detailed description of the Ruyi Garment. As expected, there was a very small note beside the invisibility and undying defense functions: Upper body only.
System, oh system, why don't you go to heaven?
Fortunately, concealing one's cultivation and aura did not have such restrictions. When activated, it was a full-body protection.
It was useless to be anxious. Wei Jie rummaged through the cabinets and found a set of black clothes. Even his shoes were changed into black. He walked out of the house in mourning clothes.
When the lights were turned on, the street was dark.
He soon arrived at the Militia Thousand-Households Office.
Two female militiamen guarded the gate.
Usually, they would go back to rest, but today, Mei Lan said that she wanted them to guard the door and report to anyone who came.
Since they had nothing to do, they started chatting.
"Who do you think Lord Thousand Households is waiting for?”
"This morning, I saw Lady Yan from Heavenly Fragrance Tower come to visit Lord Thousand Households. She might have sent another man.”
The two female militiamen looked at each other and smiled, their expressions somewhat wretched.
The militia camp was filled with single women. Other than cultivating, they were usually lonely and were not allowed to gamble or play cards. There was really nothing to relieve them of. Sometimes, Mei Lan would sympathize with them and bring a few men in.
It was fine even if he died. After all, they were all people of low status.
Thinking of this, the two female militiamen began to look forward to it, so they did not notice that two legs in black pants flashed past them.
Wei Jie silently walked past the guard and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
Baoyi walked on the road in stealth. Occasionally, a few passers-by would walk over, but they actually turned a blind eye and did not notice him.
His upper body was the focal point of his vision. The sky was dark and there wasn't even a trace of moonlight. Wei Jie's aura was restrained, and his presence was reduced to the minimum, almost blending into the night.
After a while, no one came in and out, so he became bold!
The guards 'discussion entered his ears. Wei Jie's heart was filled with killing intent as he calmly and silently sneaked into the Thousand Households Bureau.
The imperial court did not raise militia, nor did it have a proper garrison. This place was just a small office, about the size of a courtyard house.
After walking around and not seeing Wang Xizhi, Wei Jie turned his gaze to a row of low houses where junk was stored.
Just as he was about to go over to investigate, he heard light footsteps.
A young man with a sneaky expression rushed to the front of the house and nimbly opened the iron lock on one of the doors.
Then, the person looked around and whispered into the room," I'm not a bad person! I'm here to save you!"
What was going on?
Wei Jie hid in a corner and stood against the wall, paying attention to the development of the matter.
The next moment, he saw a familiar figure.
Wang Xizhi came out of the woodshed and asked in confusion," What do you mean by helping me?”
During the day, he was caught and locked in a small black room. He was still in the dark and only knew that he would be punished for opening a private school.
The young man who came to open the door was the one who had accompanied Mei Lan to drink and left halfway.
He and the other person hated Granny Yan to the core. They knew that she loved to set traps to deceive ignorant young people, causing their families to be destroyed, their chastity to be lost, and their lives to be lost.
The ignorant youth had fallen into the hands of Mei Lan, and when she got tired of him, she would give him to her subordinates.
At that time, he would have to serve more than a dozen women like jackals and would be exhausted in a few days.
Therefore, the two people who served Mei Lan lived on tenterhooks and tried their best to maintain their love.
During the day, Granny Yan came. After they left, they went to the next room to eavesdrop.
They had chiseled a very small hole in the wall of the room. They only heard half of it and only knew that Mei Lan seemed to want to have a new man.
People were selfish. Taking the risk to let Wang Xizhi go was not an act of justice, nor was it a crazy revenge on Yama. Instead, it was to continue to stay by Mei Lan's side and not be squeezed out of her position by the newcomers, so that she could continue to live a carefree life!
At this time, the young man urged Wang Xizhi." My companions will hold Mei Lan back. She won't notice for the time being! Come with me! I'll send you away!"
