Sang Feiwan had lived for most of his life, and he had always been the one to threaten others, but no one had ever held him hostage. Fu Yuhao was the first one to do so. If the other party exposed his undercover identity, Baili Duyue would be furious and might even kill him.
At this point, Sang Feiwan could no longer tell whether he was afraid of Baili Duyue going crazy after knowing the truth, or he was afraid of the other party's revenge on him after going crazy.
Anyway, I have some concerns in my heart...
When Fu Yuhao was speaking, his eyes were fixed on Sang Feiwan. Although his lips were curved, the smile did not reach his eyes.
He must be wondering, why did the pug, who used to love him to death, suddenly become disobedient
Sang Feiwan didn't say anything, thinking that Fu Yuhao was a bigger problem than Duan Yang. However, due to the situation, he could only slow down and change his words: "Stay overnight... That's fine."
I hope Baili Duyue will not agree. After all, he hates Zhongzhou more than I do.
However, Baili Duyue looked at Sang Feiwan and was surprisingly easy to talk to: "Since you don't want to travel, let's stay overnight and leave tomorrow."
Sang Feiwan: “?!!!”
Sang Feiwan almost vomited blood. Why did Baili Duyue listen to him so much at this time? Didn't he realize that he didn't want to stay at all, didn't want to stay here at all? !
On the contrary, Fu Yuhao seemed very happy. He nodded with a smile and said, "It is rare that the Lord of Baili City has honored you. Hao will definitely order people to serve you attentively."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at everyone, and said in a serious voice: "Immortal Lord Youyun died for no reason, and his inner elixir is missing. Anyone here who has the cultivation of Tianyan is suspected. I know that this is an unreasonable request, but my life is at stake, so please allow the palace people to search my body, first to find my inner elixir, and second to verify my cultivation."
Hua Qinyi frowned upon hearing this: "Young Master, are you doubting us? What if the perpetrator is not among the guests, but a hidden master who has never appeared in Cloud Realm?"
Fu Yuhao smiled and said, "Isn't that better? It means that everyone here is a man of high moral character and has nothing to do with the crime. But before that, everyone must prove their innocence, and I am no exception."
After he finished speaking, he ordered the guards to investigate who had entered and left the guest hall today, and selected several maids to search them. He also took the lead in setting an example by shaking out his sleeves to prove his innocence.
The maid searched Fu Yuhao's body from head to toe, and then brought the spirit-testing bead closer to him. She saw a blue light flashing around the bead, and nodded respectfully, "Young Master's cultivation is at the first level of the Hedao realm, and he does not have any inner elixir on him."
His cultivation level is far inferior to that of Immortal Lord Youyun, so there is no way he could be the murderer.
Seeing that Fu Yuhao took the initiative to examine the body, the other guests had no reason to refuse and had to agree.
Seeing this, Sang Feiwan secretly pulled Baili Duyue's sleeve and made one thing clear: What should we do
Although the cultivators have the Sumeru sac that can hold everything, it can only hold some dead things with low spiritual power. The inner elixir of a master of the Tianyan realm has abundant spiritual power. I am afraid that as soon as the inner elixir is put into the sac, the sac will explode instantly because it cannot bear such a powerful spiritual power.
Trying to hide the inner elixir in a storage magic device is not feasible.
Baili Duyue signaled him not to worry, as he would find a way out when he got there.
The palace maids checked the guests one by one, and everyone else was safe and sound. However, when it came to the turn of the lords of the four domains, they all hit a wall.
"Snapped!"
Hua Qinyi slapped the palace maid who was searching her to the ground, and said angrily: "Asshole, who do you think you are? How dare you offend this city lord?!"
Si Wujiu laughed strangely and suddenly began to make hand gestures and perform magic. His ten fingers were slender and dark blue, and they were adorned with dozens of silver rings that clanked. No one knew what kind of magic he was performing, and the palace maid who searched him suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Si Wujiu said with sympathy: "This city lord is a very poisonous person. If any of you are poisoned to death by the poison, it will not be my fault."
Baili Duyue was even simpler. In previous years, those who offended him were all skinned alive at banquets. He had long been known for his viciousness. He did nothing but glanced coldly at the palace maid, who fainted out of fear.
Qian Jianghanyuan of Fengxue City was the one with the least temper, and the one who was the most loyal to Emperor Fu Yujin. He had no objection to the body search, but when he saw that the other three were unwilling to be searched, he also frowned and sent the palace servants away, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his elegant face.
The four of them were of equal status. If he was the only one being searched, wouldn't he seem to be lagging behind
The ways they chased people away were all different, but the only thing they had in common was probably that the Spirit Verification Pearls emitted a dazzling purple light when they were close to the four of them, indicating that the four of them had all broken through and reached the same level of Tianyan cultivation.
Hua Qinyi's face was somewhat uncertain. Last year, she had obtained a heavenly treasure by chance, and with the help of the elders in her clan, she barely entered the realm of heavenly evolution. At present, her foundation was not stable, and she wanted to conceal it, but she never thought that it would be tested out today.
Si Wujiu's cultivation method was different from others. He used zombies as his weapon, and his method was sinister and evil. His speed was much faster than ordinary cultivation. He secretly cultivated to the Tianyan realm, which was surprising but also expected.
Seeing this, Fu Yuhao smiled faintly: "You four are doing this, which makes it difficult for me. If you don't prove your innocence today, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave Zhongzhou."
If it were any other time, Baili Duyue would have laughed out loud, wondering how many guts Fuyu Hao had to go against the Four Territories, and how many guts he had to stop people at will. However, today, for some reason, he said in an ambiguous tone, "If the young master won't let us leave, it's fine for us to stay here. It won't be too late to leave after we catch the murderer."
The imperial concubine, who had been watching coldly, frowned slightly upon hearing this, and suddenly said, "The fact that Immortal Lord Youyun got into trouble in the imperial capital was originally due to my poor hospitality to the guests. Now instead of apologizing, you are detaining the distinguished guest here. This has never been justified since ancient times. It is better for them to disperse as soon as possible and get away with it."
When Fu Yuhao saw her scolding him, he lowered his eyes and was speechless.
Emperor Fu Yujin, who had always kept a low profile, finally responded when he heard this, but he ordered in a deep voice: "Didn't you hear what your mother said? Why don't you let them go?"
Fu Yuhao paused and had to agree.
The imperial concubine relaxed her brows a little after seeing this, and said to the emperor calmly: "I feel a little unwell today, so I will go back to the bedroom to rest first."
After she finished speaking, she didn't care about Fu Yujin's reaction and turned around and left with the palace maid. She looked too cold, which made people wonder if the emperor liked big ice cubes
Sang Feiwan was eager to leave quickly. Seeing this, he secretly grabbed Baili Duyue's wrist and was about to leave with him. However, just after taking two steps, he saw the emperor walked out of the hall surrounded by servants. Without turning his head, he said to Fu Yuhao in a calm voice: "People below the Tianyan realm can leave on their own."
Everyone paused when they heard this. Can those below the Tianyan realm leave
What does that mean? Those above the Tianyan realm can’t leave
Baili Duyue curled his lips slightly when he saw this, his expression cold, as if he had already guessed this result. He flicked his sleeves lazily, put his arm around Sang Feiwan's shoulder, pretended to be sleepy and drunk, and said nonchalantly: "Forget it, it's getting late, let's go back and rest."
Sang Feiwan was still thinking about Baili Duyue's injuries, so he subconsciously hugged his waist and asked in a low voice, "Are you tired?"
Baili Duyue shook his head at him imperceptibly and said only three words silently: "Go back to your room first."
There was a palace servant leading the way, who immediately took them to the palace where they were going to stay.
Fu Yuhao couldn't hear clearly what the two of them were talking about. He only saw from afar Sang Feiwan holding Baili Duyue in his arms, lowering his eyes and whispering a few words. His expression was deep and gentle, completely different from his previous stupid and foolish appearance. He couldn't help but be lost in thought for a moment.
He didn't know whether Sang Feiwan was acting too seriously or was really in love, but the only thing he was sure of was that the other party had changed drastically compared to before.
Fu Yuhao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
The kind where you can't explain the reason.
When Sang Feiwan and Baili Duyue returned to the palace, they dismissed the servants and closed the door. After Sang Feiwan made sure that no one was secretly watching them, he pulled Baili Duyue and said in a low voice: "The inner elixir of Immortal Lord Youyun was dug out. I'm afraid there's something complicated behind this. Let's leave early. I just said I wanted to stay overnight because I didn't want to offend Young Lord. How could you really believe it?"
Baili Duyue leaned on the couch with her head propped up, her silver hair like frost, her scarlet clothes gorgeous. She smiled as if not smiling when she heard the words, "This city lord is not a fool, so I naturally know that there is a lot behind this matter. But I don't know what Fu Yuhao is planning, and it's clear that he won't let us go easily, so why bother to confront him openly? After all, this is Zhongzhou's territory, so it's better to be careful."
Sang Feiwan paused and asked, "What do you mean?"
Baili Duyue patted the seat beside him and motioned him to lie down: "Rest for a while first, and wait until the guards change shifts in the second half of the night, and then we will quietly leave."
Sang Feiwan: “…”
also.
When Sang Feiwan lay down, Baili Duyue naturally rested her head on his legs, like a beast showing its soft belly. Sang Feiwan lowered his eyes and stared at the other person's lazy and harmless appearance. For a moment, he actually thought about whether to confess and get leniency.
But his family experience since childhood taught him that those who confess usually die miserably, so every day he can live is a day better.
Sang Feiwan was in a dilemma for a moment.
Just as the two of them were leaning against each other to rest and waiting for the second half of the night to arrive, there was a sudden clanging sound of something heavy hitting the window frame outside, followed by a mass of something being smashed in through the gap in the window.
"who!"
Baili Duyue has always been alert. Seeing this, his eyes became stern. He used his palm to grab the ball of thing in the air. Before the thing could hit the ground, it was knocked away by a ball of purple spiritual power and hit the wall next to it heavily.
It was not until then that Baili Duyue saw clearly that the thing was not a hidden weapon, but a stone wrapped in paper. There seemed to be a line of words written on the outer layer of paper, and the radicals of the words "桑" (mulberry) and "晚" (evening) could be vaguely seen through the gaps between the folds.
"Who lost it?"
Sang Feiwan had an inexplicable ominous premonition. He stood up from the low couch as if nothing had happened, trying to pick up the paper ball before Baili Duyue. However, just as he bent down, before his fingertips could touch it, the paper ball flew away with a whoosh.
Sang Feiwan turned around subconsciously, only to see Baili Duyue staring at him, playing with the ball of paper slowly in his hand, as if wondering whether he should open it or not.
"… "
Damn, having spiritual power is convenient. I can pick up things faster than others.
Sang Feiwan was inexplicably a little nervous, but he didn't show it on his face. He walked towards Baili Duyue and frowned, saying, "What if this thing is poisonous? The city lord should throw it away quickly."
Throw it away, throw it away, throw it away!
