　　“Young Master, if there is anything Lian’er can do to help, just tell me！”
　　Fang Lian’er saw that Xu Taiping wanted her help. Immediately suppressing the fear in her heart, she promised with a very firm gaze.
　　After slightly organizing his thoughts, Xu Taiping instructed Fang Lian’er：
　　“Miss Lian’er, someone will knock on our door later. After you open the door, he will ask you to play a game of hide and seek with him.”
　　“He will also threaten you that if he finds you, he will eat you.”
　　When she heard the words “eat you”, Fang Lian’er’s pupils suddenly dilated, and she immediately murmured： “Could it be that the shop assistant Sun Wang was eaten because he was skilled at playing hide and seek with that strange person？”
　　As expected of the granddaughter of a storyteller, she immediately associated the reason for the disappearance of the shop assistant Sun Wang from Xu Taiping’s words.
　　“If my inference is correct, it should be so.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded, and then shook his head and said：
　　“But don’t worry, Miss Lian’er. When the time comes, you just need to hide under this table, and I can ensure that the strange person won’t find you.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to a table behind the screen in the room.
　　“Hiding there won’t be found？”
　　Fang Lian’er had a look of disbelief on her face.
　　“That’s right.” Xu Taiping smiled confidentially at Fang Lian’er. “Trust me, Miss Lian’er.”
　　If an ordinary person had said this, Fang Lian’er would naturally not have believed it.
　　But when she thought of the sword light that had descended from the sky when Xu Taiping was standing in front of the Liu residence that day, Fang Lian’er finally nodded and said：
　　“Alright, I believe you, sir.”
　　……
　　“Taiping, why must Fang Lian’er be the one to open the door？”
　　Fairy Lingyue asked Xu Taiping with some confusion.
　　Under the table behind the screen in the private room.
　　“Sister Lingyue, in the situation that Liantong foresaw, Fang Lian’er was caught by the Western Finger possessed by the Yellow Dog Demon Seed under this table in this private room.”
　　Xu Taiping took out the Dragon-Trapping Pagoda as he answered.
　　“Then this little girl really has to suffer a little.”
　　Fairy　Lingyue　nodded.
　　If one wanted to minimize the variables in the situation foreseen by Liantong as much as possible, one had to change as little as possible the things in the situation deduced by Liantong, except for the result.
　　For example, since Fang Lian’er was caught by the Western Finger in this private room, it would be best to let her be caught once.
　　Otherwise, there was a high possibility that there would be variables in Liantong’s deduction.
　　These were all the experiences that Xu Taiping had summarized over the years in the process of using the ability of Liantong.
　　“Taiping, how do you feel after refining this Dragon-Trapping Pagoda？”
　　Fairy Lingyue looked at the Dragon-Trapping Tower in Xu Taiping’s hand.
　　“Just refined it this morning. There is indeed some change in the Yuan Shen, but I didn’t drink the Hidden Immortal Brew and didn’t dare to try.”
　　Xu Taiping smiled bitterly.
　　“It’s okay. We don’t need the ability obtained from refining the Dragon-Trapping Tower today. There isn’t much Hidden Immortal Brew left, so save it if possible.”
　　Fairy Lingyue shook her head.
　　“Bang,　bang,　bang！”
Just then, the door of the box where Xu Taiping was located was finally knocked on.
　　Xu Taiping used his divine soul to sense it, but as soon as his divine sense passed through the door, it was blocked by an invisible wall.
　　Obviously, the power of the original magic seed of this yellow dog can also isolate the divine sense.
　　“Who… who is it？”
　　Fang Lian’er, who didn’t notice Xu Taiping’s divine sense investigation at all, asked nervously outside the door.
　　“Dear guest, come and play hide-and-seek？”
　　A voice that was rough but spoke in a childish tone sounded outside the door.
　　“I… I don’t want to play…”
　　Fang Lian’er said with a crying voice.
　　“Bang！”
Almost at the same time as Fang Lian’er’s voice fell, the door of the chamber was kicked open with a foot.
　　A man with a gray face and a tall and strong body stood expressionlessly at the door.
　　“Dear guest, if you don’t play, you will die.”
　　The man’s cold eyes stared fixedly at Fang Lian’er.
　　In an instant, in Fang Lian’er’s mind, scenes of terrifying situations that she couldn’t even dream of began to emerge.
　　“I…　I’ll　play！”
　　Under the “coercion” of those terrifying scenes in her mind, Fang Lian’er nodded repeatedly.
　　After the power of the Yellow Dog Hiding and Seeking Origin Demon Seed was activated, not to mention just an ordinary person like Fang Lian’er, even cultivators with a cultivation level below the Sky-Gazing Realm couldn’t refuse to play the game of hiding and seeking with the Yellow Dog Demon Seed.
　　“Bang！”
　　After hearing Fang Lian’er’s promise, that Xi Zhi’s mouth split open, he pulled the door shut again, and then shouted with his back against the door outside：
　　“I’ll count to ten and then come in to find you.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Lian’er’s heart tightened, and she immediately turned around and ran towards the direction of the screen in the box.
　　However, perhaps because she was too scared, after only running a few steps, her feet went soft, and with a thud, she fell to the ground.
And the counting sound of that Xi Zhi outside the door had already rang out —
“One, two, three…”
This sound, in the ears of Fang Lian’er, who had already exuded fine cold sweat on her forehead was just like the sound of the ghosts coming to claim her soul.
　　“Under the table, under the table, under the table…”
　　Immediately, while whispering softly, she crawled towards the table behind the screen with all four limbs, rolling and crawling.
　　“Thud！… ”
　　When Fang Lian’er bypassed the screen and came to the table, her feet went soft again and she fell in front of the table.
　　“Young master… Young master？”
　　And just as she was about to crawl under the table to hide, she thought Xu Taiping had already hidden under the table. Suddenly, she found that there was no one under the table at all, and her heart was like falling into an ice cave.
　　“Did Young Master Wuyou escape？”
　　She had an expression of disbelief on her face.
　　“Patta！”
　　At the same time, after counting to ten several times outside the door, Xi Zhi also strode into the room.
　　Fang Lian’er, who was scared and panicked, didn’t care to think about anything else. Instinctively, she crawled under the table and then curled up in a corner under the table.
　　“Patta！”
　　Just at this time, the heavy footsteps of Xi Zhi sounded beside Fang Lian’er’s ears.
　　“Young Master Wuyou save me, save me…”
　　Fang Lian’er curled up, her hands tightly hugging her knees, and she kept chanting Xu Taiping’s alias.
　　“Patta！”
　　With another “explosion” of footsteps, a big foot appeared in front of the table where Fang Lian’er was hiding.
　　Seeing this foot, Fang Lian’er’s body trembled violently.
　　For an ordinary person, it was already not bad that Fang Lian’er’s mind did not collapse at this moment.
　　“Heh…　found　you…”
　　Suddenly, the Western Finger standing in front of the table suddenly crouched down, stretched the hand with four fingers under the table, and grabbed Fang Lian’er under the table.
　　“Help me, Young Master Wuyou！”
Fang Lian’er, whose mind was about to collapse, shouted out.
　　“Pa！”
　　Just at this moment, a hand was placed on her shoulder from behind, and at the same time a voice rang out beside her ear——
　　“Miss Lian’er, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
　　The next moment, Fang Lian’er’s eyes went dark and she lost consciousness.
　　……
　　“Don’t scare this girl into getting a problem.”
　　Inside the Dragon-Trapping Tower, Fairy Lingyue looked at Fang Lian’er in Xu Taiping’s arms with a face full of pity and said a little unbearably.
　　“I made her fall asleep, it should be okay.”
　　Xu Taiping looked at Fang Lian’er and said with a bit of guilt on his face.
　　“Ah！！！…”
　　And just as the two were talking, on the second floor of the Dragon-Trapping Tower, a shrill scream suddenly came.
　　“Brother, are we really going to enter that room on the second floor？”
　　Little Monkey Taiping drilled out of Xu Taiping’s sleeve at this time, looked at the second floor of the Dragon-Trapping Tower a few times with a face full of fear, and then asked Xu Taiping.
