This is exactly what the empress wanted to achieve when she chose to take action personally last night.
As the current emperor of the Immortal Kingdom, she displayed her strength in front of the people for the first time. With her cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage, she suppressed three great demons of the Perfect Nascent Soul stage with two swords in the royal city without causing any casualties among the people.
In this way, the people's attention naturally shifted from the conspiracy of the demon clan to the powerful strength of their own Majesty.
In addition, the Immortal Kingdom intentionally guided the direction of public opinion, so it is not surprising that things turned out like this.
Perhaps the only person who exceeded the expectations of the Immortal Kingdom was the Holy Son of the Demon Sect, whose reputation soared inexplicably by taking advantage of this momentum.
… …
Magic Weapon Pavilion.
Perhaps because too many events happened yesterday, the people of the royal city all flocked to various teahouses and inns to inquire about the news, causing the customer flow in other industries to decrease a lot.
After being busy for three consecutive days, everyone in the Magic Weapon Pavilion finally had some time to rest.
When Luo Wusheng arrived again two days later, he happened to see the casual cultivator Long Dahai and the fake fortune-teller Gao Shi chatting in the employee rest area he had designated, with a few sheets of paper in their hands.
Well, judging from Long Dahai's personality and the expression on his face now, there must be nothing serious on that page. I have to criticize it carefully.
Thinking of this, out of curiosity, he quietly approached the two of them.
But after seeing the contents on the page, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"… Fellow Daoist Gao, how credible do you think this is?"
"Well, I'm new here, and I only lived in Suanzhou before, so I don't know much about the empress and Pavilion Master Luo... But I think the things listed here make sense and are half credible."
"Based on my understanding of Brother Luo... Brother Luo has always been a role model for our generation, so his credibility can be increased by at least half a point. Hiss—If you think about it this way, Brother Luo may really have a close relationship with the Empress? Brother Luo is indeed a god!"
Looking at these two guys talking to each other, Luo Wusheng's expression became even weirder.
That's right, what was written on the page was clearly about him.
It begins with the incident of exterminating demons last night, and infers that he, the Holy Son of Demon Sect, has long had contact with the Empress of Immortal Country, so that he was well prepared last night and played a greater role than anyone else present at the time, becoming the most watched person last night together with the Empress.
Then he reversed his thinking and inexplicably replaced his previous connection with the Immortal Kingdom with a connection with the Empress.
Luo Wusheng really didn't expect that before he even had the chance to say a word to the empress, rumors about him and the empress had already spread among the people...
Is it really that serious? Doesn't the person who wrote this really fear that the Six Gates will check the water meter the next day
(But the person who wrote this article was somewhat right. Some of my actions were indeed directed at the Empress... but it was a pity that they had nothing to do with the so-called love between men and women.)
“Ahem.”
Luo Wusheng coughed twice and no longer concealed his breath.
Long Dahai and Gao Shi's bodies froze at the same time.
Chapter 128: You're lucky (Part 2)
"Ah, ahahahaha... Brother Luo has been so busy these past few days, how come you still have the mood to come to the pavilion today?"
Long Dahai forced a smile and folded the paper and put it in his sleeve as if nothing had happened.
"I'm not in a hurry. Since I'm sitting in the position of Pavilion Master, I have to come and see it when I have free time." Luo Wusheng patted his shoulder: "Don't hide it, I've seen it all, and I heard everything you said just now."
The two younger brothers turned a little paler.
Fake fortune teller Gao Shi trembled as he made a Taoist seal and saluted: "It is a pleasure to meet Pavilion Master Luo... I haven't seen you for two days. Pavilion Master Luo is even more elegant than before. You are worthy of being the most outstanding person in the world and the future pillar of the Demon Sect... Oh, I suddenly remembered that I left the fortune-telling flag at Hongyan Tower last night. I shouldn't have done that. I will take my leave now. I hope Pavilion Master Luo will not blame me..."
He spoke rapidly as if his mouth was burning, and was about to retreat, but he just trembled and was unable to move at all.
"Well, you can't leave."
Luo Wusheng half-closed his eyes and used his fingers to draw spiritual power: "I just happen to have something to ask you."
He doesn't really care about those gossips.
In this world where information dissemination efficiency is not very high, such gossip made up by one or two people based on their imagination has almost no chance of spreading.
In the end, this news was probably only heard by Night Crow, the intelligence chief of the Six Gates...
The reason why Long Dahai was able to get this kind of news was purely because this guy always loved to inquire about such things, and he also had some bad friends he met in the red-light district in the royal city who could serve as a channel.
The news he received was always numerous and diverse, and not very authentic, but he was happy to read it.
Perhaps this is one of the few hobbies he has in this world with a lack of entertainment, apart from visiting brothels.
He was eating melons but he actually ended up eating the head of the Holy Son of the Demon Sect. He is really good at it.
After hearing Luo Wusheng's words, Gao Shi and Long Dahai looked at each other, both with bitterness on their faces.
Can they refuse
It shouldn't be possible.
They can only hope that their current boss will not pursue what happened just now. They don't want to experience the dangers of the world again.
As if to cover up the embarrassment just now, Long Dahai patted his chest and said very actively: "Brother Luo, please feel free to ask. As long as I, Long Dahai, know something, I will tell you everything I know!"
"Well, although I don't know much about things outside of Suanzhou, if I know something that can be discussed, I will definitely not hide it."
Seeing his fellow sufferers acting like this, Gao Shi quickly expressed his opinion as well, and even took out his divination plates from his sleeves, looking like a professional fake fortune teller.
… …
Half an hour later, Luo Wusheng left the Magic Weapon Pavilion.
First of all, he confirmed that the seed of luck in his dantian would not react to other people.
In order to ensure the rationality of the sample, he even went to find the eldest daughter of the Su family who was flirting with Lao Wang. After a brief conversation with Su Susu, he confirmed that it was not a gender issue.
In other words, currently the only ones who can make the Seed of Luck react are Lu Yuli and Bai Xiaoyao.
As for what they have in common... they are both protagonist-level characters
Luo Wusheng decided to try and see if the same changes would occur after talking to the empress or the little fox demon concubine. After all, the empress would summon him in the next two days, and the little fox demon concubine would wake up tomorrow.
However, it seems that even if the small seed will riot, it will eventually return to its current original state. It seems that it is not enough to reach a critical point of change.
(But if face-to-face conversations are still a little short, then if you want to go further, then...)
Silently putting away his bold idea, Luo Wusheng recalled some information he had obtained from Long Dahai.
As for why not raising the stone... well, that guy is just too useless.
I had been thinking that since he was also a disciple of Tianji Tower, he might be able to know more about Yue Xuanji and maybe could give me some information about the owner of Tianji Tower.
As a result, the guy shook his head in horror.
I dare not say, I dare not say.
As a disciple of Tianji Tower, he was well aware of the terrifying power of his own tower master's Tianji skills. As long as he dared to say a few more bad words about the tower master here, the day when this fake fortune teller would return to Tianji Tower would probably be a long time coming.
Although he had a relatively comfortable time in the Magic Weapon Pavilion these past two days, and could have fun with Long Dahai and his good brothers at night, all his belongings were still in the Tianji Tower.
Seeing this, Luo Wusheng knew that there was no point in continuing to bother with this fake fortune teller, so he simply went to Long Dahai and asked him a few questions.
Long Dahai did give him some gains.
For example, the matter concerning Wangxianlou Inn.
Luo Wusheng was not actually familiar with the Royal City. He had seen most of the things from the original novel. He then toured the areas that the real protagonist had walked through in the original novel like a pilgrimage. As for the rest, he only knew about the immortal kingdom forces like the Six Gates, and the various major weapon refining pavilions that had been his business rivals before.
The only inn he knew about in the royal city was the Human Immortal Inn in the north of the city, which was specially set up for the sect disciples who came to the royal city to participate in the competition for the Human Immortal Ranking. In the original work, Xiao Yuli lived there after coming to the royal city, and because of this, she had the opportunity to encounter the true identity of the monster clan in the north of the city.
As for Wangxianlou Inn, he had only glanced at some information about it before and only knew that it was an asset of the Qingzhou Jianghu Alliance Yuxian Kingdom.
That's why he came to Long Dahai, who was born in Qingzhou, to try his luck.
In the end, he did get the answer he wanted.
The composition of the Jianghu Alliance is different from the dominant sects in other large states. It is a collection of most sects and independent cultivators in Qingzhou. As long as the sect or independent cultivator can complete the task indicators of the Jianghu Alliance, they can be named as Jianghu Alliance cultivators, be protected by the Jianghu Alliance, and enjoy the benefits of a large sect.
The Wangxianlou Inn is actually just the property of a casual cultivator who is affiliated with the Jianghu Alliance.
(… In other words, it can be purchased.)
Luo Wusheng felt relieved.
If it is really a sect property, even if it can be bought, the price to pay will be outrageous.
Although he is rich, he doesn't want to be a sucker. If he can't buy it normally, he can only think of other means to increase the probability of getting good luck.
The current situation is exactly what he wants.
But what made him feel a little regretful was that although Long Dahai knew some information, he had no idea what was so special about this inn.
Then why is his so-called good fortune related to this inn
Forget it, no matter what, I'll just follow the original plan, buy it and take advantage of these two days to renovate it.
The plan is perfect, he is bound to get this good fortune!
However…
"Want to buy my inn? Of course, the price is not expensive. I'll just give you twenty Star Moon Jades~"
The white-haired girl stood on the wooden platform, looking down at the confused boy, and smiled sweetly:
"You're lucky."
Chapter 129 Yue Xuanji's "business"
To be honest, Luo Wusheng never thought that he would meet Yue Xuanji again here.
Is it really okay for a great master who has reached the state of incarnation, the master of Tianji Tower who is capable of calculating all the secrets of heaven, and the chess player who should be playing chess outside the chessboard, to have such a strong presence in front of him
And twenty pieces of Star-Moon Jade
I made a total of twenty-three pieces in the ancient heaven. Now I have one for Xiao Yuli, one for Junior Sister Xiao Yao, one for the little fox demon concubine, and I gave one to the person in front of me last night. I even gave one to Miss Qilin in my dream... How can this be considered half a piece
In other words, he only had eighteen and a half pieces of Star-Moon Jade left in his hand. Where would he get the twenty pieces to trade for a shabby inn
Do you know the only gold content in this world
Luo Wusheng's mouth twitched as he stood in the Wangxianlou Inn.
"Master Yue, please don't joke..."
"I'm not kidding."
The white-haired loli raised her little head and shook her hands gently. As the crisp sound of the Star-Moon Jade Chain rang, Luo Wusheng once again fell to the ground under the tremendous pressure.
The little girl jumped down from the wooden platform with satisfaction and walked in front of him: "Do you really think that your preparations can guarantee good luck? With you being a mere Jindan cultivator? Or with the pile of stones with different effects in your storage bag?"
"Good fortune that can change your fate is not so easy to obtain."
"But now it's different... Look, I'm a great Divine Transformation cultivator, the master of the Tianji Tower who knows everything about the universe. I've personally made all the preparations for you, and I'm also supporting you from behind. When you think about it this way, don't you think the price is a bit too cheap?"
Looking at Yue Xuanji who was circling around him with cute little steps, Luo Wusheng always felt that this girl was brainwashing him, but he had no evidence.
But if what this girl said was true, exchanging jade for the help of a Divine Transformation cultivator, maybe it was indeed possible...
Well, that's unacceptable.
Not to mention that he only had eighteen and a half pieces of Star-Moon Jade, he wouldn't consider it even if he happened to have twenty pieces left.
Unless he has twenty-one.
Moreover, he always felt that there was something wrong with what Yue Xuanji said.
While he was thinking, the little girl stopped in front of him again, squatted slightly, and looked directly at Luo Wusheng with her beautiful starry eyes.
"Of course, I know you don't have enough Star Moon Jade..."
Yue Xuanji tilted her head, her eyes opened and closed, and her face regained the calmness she had when she first met Luo Wusheng: "It's okay, I can buy on credit."
After the experience of communicating with this girl last night, Luo Wusheng clearly sensed a hint of amusement in the other's eyes.
But he smiled.
"… I thought about it for a while and felt that what Master Yue said made sense. At such a critical moment in obtaining good fortune, how could I be stingy with my possessions?"
"These twenty Star Moon Jades are what I owe to the Moon Tower Master. I will definitely pay you back in the future!"
Later...well, later!
