Chapter 74
74 The undercurrent is surging wildly
When the red shadow left, its figure was fleeting like a ghost. It flew into Yuhang Town and landed inside the courtyard wall of the county government office. Then, he stepped on the ground and walked quickly.
It turned out to be a woman in a red dress, and her back was quite charming.
She had just crossed the moon gate in the backyard when two bailiffs on night patrol came up to her.
“Hey, miss Bai Ling, did you go out so late at night?” The constable immediately greeted him warmly.
The woman’s eyes were charming, and she lowered her head shyly. no, I just wanted to go to the front yard to visit father, but I found that father was not there, so I came back.
“Mr. Bai Jian? I saw him just now, he might be in his room?”
“Many thanks.”
The woman bowed coyly and left.
The two bailiffs watched her lithe and wriggling back, and only reluctantly retracted their gazes after she had walked away.
“Miss Bai Ling is really pretty.” The constable on the left said in a daze.
yeah, I just feel that there’s an indescribable smell. It’s very alluring. The constable on the right side agreed.
“I think she’s even more beautiful than miss Gongsun.” The constable on the left said.
“What?” The constable on the right frowned. don’t spout nonsense. Miss Gongsun is a goddess that we acknowledge.
“I don’t think miss Bai Ling’s facial features are perfect. Her figure is also better than miss Gongsun’s,” the left Constable mumbled.
The constable on the right shouted,”bullshit!” I just felt that her face looked unnatural. Moreover, miss Gongsun just doesn’t often wear clothes that show off her figure, and she doesn’t even shake her butt when she walks!”
she’s beautiful anyway! the constable on the left was also angry. no matter what you say, she’s more beautiful than miss Gongsun!
“Impossible!” The constable on the right was furious. No matter who comes, miss Gongsun is the prettier one!”
“No matter how you defend her, she’s the daughter of the county Magistrate. How can she marry you?”
“Miss Bai Ling is Grand Master Bai Jian’s daughter. She won’t marry you!” The constable on the right retorted.
The two of them looked at each other and suddenly fell silent.
After a long while, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
“Right, that makes sense.”
“Then what are we arguing about? Let’s go to the guardhouse. Old Qin said he’s going to make dog meat tonight.”
“Time to eat dog meat.”
The two constables had their arms around each other’s shoulders and left happily.
The girl called “Bai Ling” passed through the door of the backyard and came to her room.
A middle-aged Confucian scholar was already waiting there. It was the advisor that Gongsun Zhe had taken in earlier.
At that time, Bai Jian claimed that he was a scholar whose family had fallen and that he had been in exile with his daughter. He had come to seek refuge when Gongsun Zhe was recruiting aides.
After a round of assessment, he was indeed very knowledgeable and eloquent.
Gongsun Zhe gladly accepted him and allowed him and his daughter to live in the government office.
But what he didn’t know was that the father and daughter were the two evil ghosts in the hidden corpse cave, Bai Jian and Hong Luan.
“How is it?” Bai Jian saw her return and asked directly.
“Ha, those Daoist priests from the shenxu temple indeed came here for another purpose.” “They came here to find a secret realm. Unexpectedly, the previous owner of the secret realm was actually the old Daoist who sealed the king back then.” Hong Ling sat down and leisurely said.
“He’s dead?” Bai Jian was surprised.
“That’s right. Although I didn’t dare to enter the cave, I saw the old Daoist’s corpse.”
Speaking up to this point, Hong Luan gritted her teeth, clearly recalling some unpleasant scene.
“Haha, back then, when our King had just escaped from a great battle and had yet to recover, he took advantage of the situation to break into the seal. The king has always been brooding over this matter and has the thought of revenge. I didn’t expect Yingluo to have died long ago.”
Bai Jian laughed happily.
“Our only enemy now is that little Daoist,” Hong Luan continued.
Bai Jian’s smile disappeared.
Hong Luan continued, ” you were right. There are rules among cultivators. If there are other cultivators in this office, the little Daoist will not come. That’s why we can hide here and not be discovered by the little Daoist priest.
However, the xiuzhe here were only here for the secret realm. They would leave sooner or later. If we want to deal with the little Daoist, we have to think of a way as soon as possible.”
Bai Jian rubbed his temples. don’t rush me. I’m thinking about it.
At this moment, footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard.
Bai Jian’s eyes flashed with alertness, and he immediately hid behind the screen.
After a short while, he heard someone knocking on the door.
“Miss Bai, are you asleep?” From the voice, it was Zhang Yuxi.
Hong Ling frowned and asked in a sweet voice, ” “Is it priest Zhang? I just fell asleep, what’s the matter?”
“I’m sorry to disturb you at night. But I’ve just come back from an errand.”
Zhang Yuxi apologized and then said, ” “I was thinking that ran ran would ask you out for a water boat ride tomorrow. I wanted to ask if you were free.”
Hong Luan silently rolled her eyes and said, ” “I’ll consider it.”
“Alright, I’ll come see you tomorrow morning,” Zhang Yuxi said happily.
With that, he left with a smile.
In this office, Zhang Yuxi had initially taken a fancy to Gongsun Zhe’s daughter, Gongsun Rou.
Who knew that Gongsun Rou’s heart was as hard as stone. No matter how he expressed his goodwill, she would not waver.
On the contrary, he would make soup for the little Daoist every two or three days. According to Gongsun Rou’s junior martial sister, the soup she made was for the kidney.
Who could stand this?
Therefore, when Bai Jian and his daughter arrived, he immediately changed his target.
This miss Bai Ling looked shy and timid, but she was actually very easy to get close to. Their relationship had developed very quickly in the past few days … Of course, this was only what he felt.
There was a big discovery in the mystic realm today, and there might be a solution soon.
By then, he would probably have to go back to chaoge.
He couldn’t bear to leave just like that. He had to make some practical progress!
There were too many people in the office, so it was really inconvenient to do things.
Hence, he chose to go boating as an excuse.
At that time, he would row the boat to a deserted place, hehehe.
For a moment, Zhang Yuxi’s mind was filled with mosaic.
After Zhang Yuxi left, Bai Jian reappeared.
He looked at Hong Luan with a smile. why? Are you in love?”
Hong Luan sneered, ” I’ve lived for hundreds of years. What kind of man have I not seen? How could she fall in love with such a fool?”
“Then you seem to have been quite active with him these few days.”
“I’m just giving him some benefits.” Hong Luan touched her face with a dazed look. I have such a beautiful face. Someone has to like me to prove my charm.
Bai Jian smiled and said nothing.
Bad woman.
……
In an Inn not far from the government office.
Li Si brought a young man and knocked on Cat Nine’s door.
This young man was dressed in brown cotton clothes with his sleeves and legs tied up, making him look like a traveler in the Jianghu. His hair was loose, his eyes were bright, and his pair of tiger teeth were eye-catching.
Cat Nine lazily opened the door and when he saw the young man, his back suddenly stiffened. His eyes were wide open and his chest was high. He no longer had that calm expression.
“Lord Jade Lynx,” she said after a moment of silence.
Although he knew that his fourth brother was going to invite him, he still couldn’t suppress the fear in his heart when he really came.
The youngster known as the Jade Lynx walked into the guest room with a smile.
“It’s great that Lord Jade Lynx is willing to help us,” Cat Nine said respectfully.
The youth sat down and Li Si rushed to pour him a cup of tea. He sniffed the tea and did not drink it. He then said,”You’re all my subordinates. If you encounter any difficulties, I’ll naturally come and help. Besides, I’ve also received some benefits from you.”
He licked his lips.
“The taste of your big brother’s demonic core is really good.”
