Ling Shuangxue had thought this matter was a little strange before, but because what happened later was too dramatic, and now that her injuries have completely recovered and the Sword Ghost has been obtained, she has somewhat forgotten about this matter.
Then again, if I hadn't been injured, what would I be like now
The soft body couldn't help but move closer to the boy beside him.
And at this moment, Luo Wusheng seemed to have a flash of inspiration.
"What does that mysterious monk look like?"
If he hadn't taken his wife's feelings into consideration, he would have asked directly whether the mysterious monk was a little girl with white hair and starry eyes.
In Luo Wusheng's impression, if someone had arranged this trip for him, the only person who could allow him to gain so many benefits would be a certain owner of Tianji Tower.
As for the relationship with Ling Shuangxue... That white-haired loli also had a history of provoking the little fox, and it always felt that it was possible that she would do such a thing, although he didn't know what that person wanted to do.
However.
The answer he heard was beyond his expectations.
"Hmm... He looks middle-aged, bald, and doesn't look like a monk at first glance. He wears a coarse linen shirt, and doesn't use the sword very well. He probably isn't from Jianzhou..."
With her Nascent Soul level memory, Ling Shuangxue responded quickly.
But she soon felt the boy next to her stiffen.
But before she could guess the reason, she saw a wooden broad-bladed dagger in Luo Wusheng's hand.
There happened to be a sentence appearing on it.
[I left Jiange.]
Looking at the emerging words, Luo Wusheng seemed to let out a sigh of relief.
His hand quite naturally embraced the woman who trembled slightly beside him.
“… Tell me a shorter story.”
He kissed Ling Shuangxue lightly on the forehead and spoke in a gentle tone.
The beautiful fairy lowered her head and responded.
So the storyteller responded with the dagger in his hand and then put it away, his eyes flickering, but he whispered the story that was only for one person.
The cube turns into a guqin, playing a tune that calms the heart.

Chapter 272: Today, His Majesty is still at a great disadvantage
A small town outside the boundaries of Jiange Jianfeng.
Lu Yuli disguised herself into an ordinary appearance again and sat in a small shed on the street. She held a short sword for delivering messages in one hand and used the other hand to bring the sour plum soup on the table in front of her to her mouth and took a sip.
Well, the taste is a little different from what I drank at the opening ceremony of the Magic Weapon Pavilion, but it’s still pretty good.
Moreover, there was no one looking at him with a half-smile, and no evil spirit would suddenly appear.
A wonderful morning tea time.
(I didn’t expect it would take nearly a day... I thought that after I finished communicating with Master at noon yesterday, I would be able to escape quickly with the help of the elixir that Master-sister Meixiang brought...)
As a result, I suddenly felt something in my heart and had an epiphany that took me most of the day.
I guess it was because I had accumulated a lot of enlightenment from discussing Taoism with the two senior uncles at the Nascent Soul stage, and the reply from my master made me feel relieved. Finally, coupled with my determination to defeat a certain evil woman, my current talent in swordsmanship came into play.
However, in this way, I will be more confident when competing against the little demon sister in the Human Immortal List.
Unfortunately, I wasted too much time and it was already getting late, so I had no choice but to leave early today.
With the support of Senior Sister Meixiang, sneaking out of Jiange was easier than expected.
And now…
"Jianyun City... I originally thought that guy would go to Jianyang City or something like that. Or maybe he's already been there, but it's been too long and he's moved to a new place?"
Looking at the reply on her broken sword, the little girl whispered to herself, "I don't know what he is busy with. He will reply later... He can't be sleeping at this time, right?"
Forget it, someone has been busy with all kinds of things for a long time.
As long as there is no new woman around, there is nothing to worry about.
Lu Yuli muttered to herself, but she finished drinking the sour plum soup on the table.
Jianyun City is a little far away from Jiange, and its location is completely different from the direction of the Royal City. At her speed, going there would be a pure waste of time.
Therefore, I should wait for the Holy Son of a certain Demon Sect to come and pick me up in Jianyu City, where we had just hastily agreed to meet.
… …
Royal City, Six Gates.
The eyes beneath the feather-patterned mask contained no light at all.
Night Crow leaned heavily on the back of the chair... and because he lost his balance, he fell to the ground with a loud bang, along with the chair.
Wutong, who was watching this scene from the side, had a strange look in his eyes.
"You are still a Nascent Soul after all... Is that necessary?"
Behind the mask with a dead leaf painted on it, a woman made a somewhat amusing sound.
"Not really?"
The dusty Night Crow propped himself up on his desk in a somewhat embarrassed manner, and said in a sad and angry tone: "You are talking without any pain in your waist! I dare say that with the workload that His Majesty has given me in the past few days, apart from me, even if it is given to the God of Transformation, it may not be completed!"
Seeing his good teammate like this, Wutong almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
She was certainly aware of how busy the intelligence minister of her own Six Gates was these days.
Not to mention anything else, just the hair has fallen all over the floor.
"Think more positively. Since you don't think you have done anything to displease His Majesty, it proves that His Majesty is indeed a little anxious this time. Even if it means increasing the burden on the Six Gates' intelligence department, we must find the Demon Sect's Saint..."
"Doesn't this prove that our choice was correct?"
Wutong spoke as if he was cheering his teammates on.
When Night Crow heard these words, he sighed as if he wanted to cry but had no tears.
"That being said... But that's an entire Jianzhou! The workload of collecting relevant intelligence from Xuanyuanzhou is already huge enough, and with the addition of the entire Jianzhou next door..."
"If I hadn't suddenly thought of Xuanming who happened to be on vacation in Jianzhou and tried to send him a message, I might not have been able to get back even a piece of suspected intelligence until now!"
Night Crow felt that it was too difficult for him.
Just two days after the saint of a certain demon sect disappeared, he received news that his workload had doubled... Oh, no, Jianzhou is not like Xuanyuanzhou. The Six Gates have relatively fewer spies, and it is inconvenient to transmit messages midway. Many things still need to be done by him personally, and the workload has at least doubled.
So he overloaded.
This is totally not the happy life I used to have, drinking tea and reading newspapers leisurely!
But when he thought about his ultimate goal, the intelligence minister gritted his teeth and accepted his new task.
If His Majesty and the Demon Sect Saint are together, I must take a long vacation! One month... no, half a year! And it must be paid... more than that, I want a pay raise!
(It’s a pity that I didn’t understand what Qilin meant before... She should also be very optimistic about the Demon Sect Saint. Could it be that she really has feelings for that young man?)
If Wutong and I succeed in our plan...
Night Crow smacked his lips.
My good colleague has also chosen the Shura path.
but…
"... By the way, have you confirmed that the person Xuanming sent back in the intelligence is the Demon Sect's Holy Son?"
Night Crow, who was still thinking, suddenly heard Wutong's question.
He came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and shook his head, supporting his body that was almost overwhelmed by work.
"The description of their appearance is quite similar, but the Demon Sect Saint usually likes to wear black clothes. He only wore white clothes before... Well, he got similar information when he went to Hongyan Tower, but it is not a basis worth referring to."
"It's mainly because of the magic weapon used... The blood-red sword that the cube turned into has the power of a divine weapon. This is similar to what we know, but it can kill a mid-stage Nascent Soul..."
"Besides that, there is also the so-called special lightning technique, and the technique described here is somewhat similar to the sword technique that appeared in the inn earlier... These are the parts we don't know about."
"Especially in the information sent back, it also mentioned that even if that person does not use that magic weapon, he can still compete with Yuanying... If it is really the son of the Demon Sect, his strength is really far beyond what we know."
Wutong seemed to be thinking about something.
"So... you are more inclined to believe that Xuanming made a mistake?"
"No, I think he is the Holy Son of the Demon Sect."
"?"
Faced with the doubts of his colleagues, Night Crow sat back comfortably in the chair he had been raised up, looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.
"Do you remember what Xuanming mentioned in the intelligence he sent back, that person was the most popular person in Jianyang Mountain, and he was accompanied by a beautiful and charming Sword Pavilion Master?"
"What's the problem? Hasn't it been confirmed that the Sword Pavilion's leader is not the girl from the inn earlier?"
"But this actually makes me feel that the possibility has increased a lot..."
"???"
Wutong couldn't quite understand the logical chain behind this.
"Never mind, it's just my intuition."
Thinking of a certain Demon Sect Saint who had become the focus of the crowd many times in the royal city and was inexplicably surrounded by a group of women, Night Crow sighed softly.
Your Majesty is still at a great disadvantage today.
He rubbed his head, which seemed to be a little swollen due to overwork.
"Anyway, the relevant information was handed over to His Majesty yesterday, so we should just wait for Xuan Ming to follow up."
"I originally thought that since I couldn't get Qilin, I might as well drag Xuanming into the water..."
Chapter 273: The Contemplative Empress's Dao Body (Part 2)
Jianzhou.
Luo Wusheng eventually left the care of his wife.
After the short story ended, because of the good atmosphere created by the piano and words, as well as various complex thoughts, Ling Shuangxue took the initiative to seduce him and made love with him again, and fell into a light sleep in the end.
I have to say that although I have just recovered from the loss, I can still get out if I want to...
But at this time, I really need a little sage time.
(She should have vaguely sensed something...)
Although Xiao Yuli's message came at the perfect time, allowing him to get away with it, it was ultimately impossible to be perfect.
But the news I received at that time was so moving.
The bald rickshaw driver... This was the first abnormality he had encountered in this world since he had awakened his memories.
So far, I have met him four times in total.
The first two times, the other party actually appeared in front of him, the third time was when he used the ability of his mind-reading eyes, and the fourth time was the power of the jade slip given by Yue Xuanji.
This time, the other party clearly did not appear in his eyes, but it made him more shaken than before.
Because of the other party's big bald head and his elusive and unpredictable style of doing things, I have always chosen to ignore his existence and just be cautious in secret to avoid being tricked by him.
In their hearts, they basically tend to believe that the other party is an old silver coin of Buddhism.
After all, that image plus those weird actions really make people feel creepy.
But now, I really can't tell the difference.
(There was no doubt that he was coming specifically for me, judging by his previous actions.)
In this case, the other party's attack that injured Ling Shuangxue must have been aimed at...
