Mo Lingling had just left with a man, and Feng Yin and Ling'er followed. It was really interesting to say that these two beauties were accompanied by a man today, both were strangers, and both encountered the same situation here. Just like Shui Qianqian said, it was as if they had discussed it beforehand, and their pace was very consistent.
As we walked out while chatting, we just reached the entrance of the main hall and heard the noise again.
"Master Deacon, what do you mean?" Looking at the group of people in white armor in front of her, Mo Lingling asked with some displeasure.
I don't know if it's because my horoscopes don't match hers, but I feel like nothing is going well today. It's so frustrating!
Wearing a silver helmet, a white inner robe and a black waist badge, this is God's butler, responsible for watching over the islanders and handling difficult cases.
The leading man stepped forward and said, "The island has been a bit unstable recently, with many cases of missing persons occurring. We have come here to track down clues to the culprit, and we ask for your cooperation. We will not leave until we have finished our investigation." Although his words seemed polite, his tone was very stiff and unkind.
The deacons enforce the law, and the law is ruthless. As long as the criminal is caught by the deacons, no matter what your background is, the emperor will be punished the same as the common people!
Despite this, Mo Lingling was not panicked, because she knew that this missing persons case had nothing to do with her. Because she had never done it, she had no guilty conscience.
"Then please do as you wish, Master Deacon." After saying that, he turned around and went back into the hall.
Deacons enforce the law, and everyone, no matter who they are, must cooperate, because they are God's servants and cannot be offended.
Everyone returned to the hall one by one to cooperate with the deacon's inspection.
"You, come with us." After a moment, the leading deacon pointed to where Mo Lingling was standing and said.
Mo Lingling was stunned, looked around, then turned around and pointed at herself and said, "Are you talking about me, Mr. Steward?" She asked again, to make sure there was nothing wrong? This matter had nothing to do with her.
"It's you, take him away." After he finished speaking, two deacons came forward, one on the left and one on the right, trying to detain Mo Lingling.
Upon seeing this, Mo Lingling immediately said, "I think there must be some misunderstanding here. Can you explain it clearly, sir? So that I can explain to my master and he won't worry." It sounded like a filial disciple was worried about her master, but in fact she was telling the deacon and everyone present that she was from Lingxi Palace and a famous person at that.
"The deacon enforces the law, you must obey. Miss Mo can choose whether to go with us or we force you to go."
Not to mention the disciple of Lingxi Palace Master, even if it was Lingxi Palace Master himself, as long as he fell into their hands, they would arrest him without mercy.
"You guys!" Mo Lingling was a little angry, but she quickly suppressed her temper. They were right. The deacons enforced the law and the law was merciless. This was something everyone on the island knew. If she really offended these people, it would be difficult to deal with.
"Don't be angry, sir. There must be a misunderstanding here. Lingling will go with you." Mo Lingling looked smiling, but her heart was in turmoil. When had she ever suffered such humiliation as today? In the past ten years, she had lost more people than today. It was really a bad omen to go out.
After turning around and saying a few words to Chunying, he said to Di Shitian, "Brother Tian, let Chunying take you to the inn first. I will go with the adults and will be back soon. Don't worry, just wait for me at the inn."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Emperor Shi Tian's reply, but turned around and walked forward with a smile. I've lost face today, so I have to leave this place of trouble first.
Seeing Mo Lingling being taken away by the deacon, everyone whispered to each other, sighing...
"I have noticed that you really love to watch the fun." Feng Yinyin joked with a smile after glancing at Ling'er who was watching the whole process.
Ling Er nodded without hesitation, "Yes, otherwise it would be so boring to be idle every day, we have to find something fun. It's better to watch a free play than to watch a show that costs money. The most important thing is that the protagonist is a beautiful woman, which is pleasing to the eyes."
"No decent one."
Feng Yinyin left first because he had something else to do. Ling'er said she wanted to see the scenery here, so she separated from Feng Yinyin and stayed near the inn where Lingxi Palace was staying.
"Have you heard? The young master of Lingxi Palace is actually involved in the recent missing persons case and has been taken to the Law Enforcement Department."
"No way, is it the daughter of the Mo family, one of the three great beauties?"
"Yes, that's her."
"You can't judge a person by appearance. I didn't expect that someone with such a beautiful appearance could have such a dark heart."
"Don't talk nonsense. Regardless of whether this is true or not, whether it's Lingxi Palace, the Mo family, or the Law Enforcement Department, they are all people that we, the common people, should not mess with. Don't talk nonsense. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, it will be bad if you get into trouble."
"Yes, yes, let's not talk about this anymore and change the subject."
... ...
When Ling'er went downstairs to eat that night, she heard the chattering at the table next to her. Ling'er smiled while holding the teacup, and drank it all in one gulp, "Waiter, pay the bill." She put the money on the table and turned away.
The night comes earlier on this dream island than in other places, and the sky becomes gray at night, as if shrouded in fog.
A black figure crossed a deserted narrow alley and jumped onto the second floor.
She had already found out that Emperor Shitian lived in the easternmost room on the second floor. Seeing that the window was not closed, she turned over and went in. However, she did not expect that the moment she turned around, she would meet Emperor Shitian's inquiring eyes.
"Um... Good night handsome... Hehehe... You haven't slept yet?" I don't know what to say, I just feel that the current situation is a bit awkward. How should I put it, it's like a thief who was caught by the owner before he could steal anything...
He cleared his throat, touched his nose, and looked at a loss.
"Who are you?" Emperor Shitian asked, looking at the woman in front of him.
"Hehe, my name is Xia Ling'er. Do you have any impression of me? Do you feel like I'm familiar to you?" Although she knew that he had lost his memory, she still hoped that she was special to him.
Emperor Shitian glanced at Ling'er, and under Ling'er's expectant gaze, he said lightly: "No."
"Uh." His tone sounded a little lost and a little sad. He lowered his head and let out a long breath, then raised his head again with a smile.
"It's okay, you will remember it sooner or later." She had confidence in her Tiantian. They had been through so much, and this little hardship was nothing.
Looking at the woman in front of him with bright eyes and white teeth, who looked like the warm sun, Emperor Shitian actually felt very comfortable in his heart. This feeling he had only felt with this woman since he woke up.
"It's late at night, handsome guy, are you bored? How about I tell you a story?" The story between them.
Di Shitian didn't say anything, but walked to the table and sat down.
Seeing that he had no intention of refusing, Ling'er also moved over with a smile and sat opposite Di Shitian.
That night, Mo Lingling was confused, distressed, and angry in the prison of the Law Enforcement Department. Ling'er, however, was in this inn, recalling their entire past to Di Shitian. She didn't know if Di Shitian was touched, but she herself almost cried, because those past memories were deeply engraved in her bones...
When you are with someone you love, time always passes quickly. When the sky turned hazy and white, Ling'er turned her head and looked out the window, thinking that it was about time for her to leave.
"Okay handsome, that's all for today. I have to go. See you next time if we're lucky." I believe they will see each other again soon.
She walked to the window, looked back reluctantly at the man sitting on the stool with his eyes closed, and then left.
The moment Ling'er left, Di Shitian opened his eyes.
"Brother Tian, Brother Tian? Are you awake?" There was a knock on the door, accompanied by Mo Lingling's voice.
"Come in."
Mo Lingling fixed her makeup, put on a standard beautiful smile, and pushed the door open.
"Brother Tian, it's okay. We've checked it out. It was just a misunderstanding. They sent me back early. I was worried that you would be anxious, so I came to tell you as soon as I got back."
Although it was explained as a misunderstanding, she was still very angry. She, Mo Lingling, had never been to prison in her life. This was the first time. I really don't know how those people in the Law Enforcement Department do things. Do they have brains? They can actually arrest the wrong person. It's really just a name for nothing!
"Brother Tian, since you are awake, let's set off and return early."
Originally, this matter could have been kept quiet, but now it seems that Master can no longer hide it. Not to mention that Senior Brother is still waiting for an explanation, how could such a big thing as entering the Law Enforcement Department not be heard by Master? Now that things have come to this, I can only go back early to apologize. Master has always loved me, and at most I will suffer some physical pain, and I shouldn't really make it difficult for me. The more difficult thing at the moment is this man, he is an outsider, and if this matter is discovered by others, it will be really bad.
Mo Lingling and her group took advantage of the early morning when there were few people around, packed their luggage, and boarded the carriage to return to Lingxi Palace.
In the main hall of Lingxi Palace, Mo Lingling had been kneeling at the entrance of the hall since she came back. She knelt from noon to sunset, but she did not see her master come out.
Her knees were numb and felt like they were not her own. But in order to ask for forgiveness from her master, she could only kneel like this. Finally, a figure came out of the hall.
"Go back, the Palace Master doesn't want to see you today." Jian Xin looked at Mo Lingling, who was kneeling on the ground motionless, and said calmly. He turned around, but was grabbed by Mo Lingling's robe.
"Uncle Jian."
"Young Palace Master, you are too willful this time." Harming fellow disciples, stealing oracles, blaspheming the gods, no matter which crime it is, it cannot be forgiven.
"Uncle Jian, Lingling knows she is wrong. Please ask Master for mercy for me. I beg you!"
Kenshin said nothing and walked forward.
The robe in her hand was taken away, and Mo Lingling's body swayed and fell to the ground. Her palm subconsciously moved forward, trying to support her falling body, and her palm rubbed blood on the ground.
"Sh~" He gasped in pain and frowned his handsome brows.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard behind her and Mo Lingling turned around.
"Brother Tian?" He asked in surprise, with a confused look on his face, "Why are you here?" A big part of the reason why the master was so angry was because of him.
Jian Xin came out again, looked at Di Shi Tian and nodded, "Come in, the Palace Master is waiting for you inside."
What? It was the master who asked him to come here.
What does Master mean by this? Could it be that Master is really angry and wants to directly deal with the source of this disaster? No, no, no, Master is not such a person. He has always been fair and will never wrongly accuse or kill any innocent person. Then why summon Di Shitian
"Uncle Jian, this is..."
Jianxin ignored Mo Lingling's doubts and took Di Shitian directly into the hall, leaving Mo Lingling, who was full of doubts and anxiety, standing there.
"Who are you?"
As soon as Emperor Shitian entered, he saw a man of extraordinary demeanor sitting on a chair.
Emperor Shitian did not say anything, but a cold aura emanated from his body. He seemed to be unfocused, but he had already quickly taken stock of the surrounding environment and whether the other party had any ill intentions.
There was no ill intention, this was his intuition. Suddenly, a palm wind came towards him, and Emperor Shitian's left hand was a knife, blocking the palace master's arm. The palace master turned his body, slid to the left side of Emperor Shitian, raised his right hand, and chopped towards Emperor Shitian's neck. Emperor Shitian seemed to have eyes on his back, and moved his upper body to drive his neck to the left, not only dodging the attack from behind, but also turning defense into offense, going around behind the palace master and kicking the palace master's buttocks.
"Good boy, you are quite skilled." After trying out fists and feet, they decided to compete in cultivation. His spiritual power leaked out instantly, blocking the power of Emperor Shi Tian's feet, and his body retreated instantly, retreating to the front of Emperor Shi Tian. His hands drew circles in opposite directions, and white light formed as his hands moved.
"Shine on the earth." A bright round cake flew above the palace master's head, emitting a dazzling light. These lights seemed to be no different from sunlight, but in fact they were all flying needles as thin as cow hair, thousands of them flew towards Emperor Shi Tian.
Looking at the oncoming attack, Emperor Shitian was not in a hurry. He flicked his wide sleeves, and the lights disappeared as if they had sunk into the sea.
"Your cultivation is not bad. Then you can try this trick of mine again." A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if some trick had succeeded. He moved his mouth again, "The scorching sun is burning."
As soon as he finished speaking, those tiny rays of light suddenly ignited on their own. Wherever the rays of light fell, a raging fire started, and Emperor Shitian's sleeves were no exception.
Looking at Emperor Shi Tian who had fallen into the trap, the Palace Master smiled. Although it was their first meeting, he still admired this man. No wonder Ling Ling liked him, he was indeed good, but compared to him, he was still a little bit inferior.
However, the palace master did not feel proud for long, as he found something wrong. His clothes were clearly burning, but why did he look calm and composed without any panic? Moreover, after burning for so long, his clothes were still intact, which was not right.
Strangely, he felt himself getting hotter and hotter.
Suddenly realizing something, he waved his hand and turned it into a blade, heading towards Emperor Shi Tian. As expected, it was a phantom.
The illusion around him was shattered. It turned out that it was his own clothes that were on fire. When did he fall into the illusion without realizing it? It seemed that he was really careless.
He extinguished the flame and returned to his seat. Looking at Emperor Shitian who had sat down without him noticing, he could not help but break into a cold sweat, thinking that he had been careless with the boy.
"You are amazing." This is his evaluation of Emperor Shi Tian. He is calm and composed, with a strong aura and no fear in his eyes. This man is not simple.
"Emperor Shi Tian." After the war was over, Emperor Shi Tian gave his name and answered the question that the Palace Master had asked when he first came in.
People with similar interests are like soulmates. Sometimes they don’t need to communicate or know each other too much. Just a glance at each other can naturally give rise to good feelings, even if their situations are opposite.
"No wonder Lingling likes you. You are really good. Although she may not be the best in other aspects, she has a unique eye for people."
"You're kind." Except to Ling'er, Di Shitian was always taciturn and looked aloof no matter who he was talking to.
"You don't remember anything except your name?"
"yes."
"How much do you know about the Festival of the Gods?"
"I know nothing." To be honest, if he wasn't going to get more information about this place, he wouldn't want to go.
"What Lingling did..."
"Guessed a little." Based on those minor details, he roughly guessed. He became more and more disgusted with Mo Lingling because of this. He should not like a woman who would do anything to achieve her goals. He thought so in his heart, so he remained skeptical about what Mo Lingling said to him.
