Chapter 90: Pei Chu Yun

Having just left the attractive little white-haired girl’s boast, she stumbled in fright the moment she emerged from the cave.

Beside a pile of corpses from the Yin Corpse Sect, A Nuo stood to the side, expressionlessly pushing Shen Tang.

So why bother with these Yin Corpse Sect people? They already ran, why come back to deliver… no, that’s not right, it hasn’t been long. How did you two catch up? Shen Tang, weren’t you in a meeting?

"Who did you say is attractive?" Shen Tang asked.

Du Gu Qing Li instinctively took a step back.

Shen Tang stared at her delicate and charming red lips for a long time, then asked again: "So, some things even animals wouldn't do?"

Du Gu Qing Li retreated another step.

Shen Tang’s third question: "Is saliva disgusting?"

"...Goodbye." Du Gu Qing Li turned and transformed into a rainbow, leaving faster than the He Huan demoness, unable to answer a single question from beginning to end.

She felt that Shen Tang's three questions were more difficult than Master’s chicken feather duster. Even now, her face felt burning hot as if she’d been slapped. As for whether she would forget some things later, she would probably remember these three questions most vividly if she woke up in the middle of the night.

She felt like the mistress caught by the original wife... but I’m the one who got hit, it wasn’t intentional on my part, it was your man who kissed me...

I, Du Gu Qing Li, don’t steal men!

I just said your man was very attractive!

A Nuo didn’t care what these women were saying. The annoying white hair who was trying to push the wheelchair was finally gone. She happily lowered her head to look into the cave: "Master, why haven’t you come out yet?"

Shen Tang’s seemingly stern face actually asked very refreshingly. This boomerang came back really fast... serves you right for looking down on the Huang Ji Jing Shi Jing.

Watching the flowing light on the horizon disappear, she then snorted through her nostrils: "缅怀着呢吧..." (He's reminiscing, probably...)

Lu Xing Zhou was indeed reminiscing about the little white-haired girl who had just been intimate with him and then ran away. He didn’t know when they would meet again next time.

Da Qian was already very large, and there were other countries in the world besides Da Qian. For a world-traveling sword guest like the little white-haired girl, he really didn't know where she would go next time. If they had no fate, perhaps they would never meet again in this life.

To be honest, if he had to forcibly keep the little white-haired girl, with her machine-like thinking mode, Lu Xing Zhou had a hundred ways to coax her to stay, perhaps even having the opportunity to deepen his strategy. But in the end, he didn’t do so... as Shen Tang said, always forcibly keeping people is selfish.

Now that the Tian Xing Sword Sect was stable, her task of protection could be considered successfully completed. She should be allowed to pursue her own path of sword cultivation.

He hoped that one day in the future they would have the fate to meet again.

But he stayed below not entirely thinking about this. He was still trying to research how to stop the spread of the magnetic field. According to the little white-haired girl, long-term exposure to this environment would endanger health and even life. It definitely couldn't be ignored.

After pondering for a long time without getting to the point, he still planned to go to the Zhen Mo Si first to find Wan Cheng.

Just as he drove the wheelchair out of the cave entrance, Lu Xing Zhou also shook a bit, almost falling back with the person and the chair.

Shen Tang’s幽幽 (faint, lingering) gaze was simply...

"Lu Xing Zhou!" Shen Tang reached out and grabbed his collar: "Isn't it just wandering through a magnetic field? Is this a magnetic field or a brothel!"

Lu Xing Zhou raised his hands in surrender: "How did you all come..."

"Not coming to wait for you two to have a child inside?" Shen Tang was sad and indignant: "That day in the secret realm’s water pool, I should have known... you still said it was just an accident, I believed your ghost words..."

She didn’t know how, clearly not long ago she had just told Lu Xing Zhou that if he had the ability, he should go after Qing Li, rationally thinking that the benefits absolutely outweighed the harms; clearly when facing Qing Li, she still retorted refreshingly, wishing to see her even more flustered. Yet, after seeing Lu Xing Zhou, the feeling in her heart suddenly became indescribable. Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy – it all came out at once, choking her until the tip of her nose felt a little sore.

This word "emotion" really has no reason behind it...

Lu Xing Zhou also didn’t go to explain that you agreed and now regret it. He just smiled apologetically: "Actually, this was also an accident..."

"You dare to say you didn't want it?"

Lu Xing Zhou paused for a moment, then only said: "I wanted it."

Shen Tang was slightly stunned, and instead of continuing, she stopped.

If he had concealed and coaxed, she would have been even more angry. Being so open and aboveboard instead made people not know what to say... after all, from the first time they met, he had never concealed his liking for Qing Li.

"Never mind." Shen Tang幽幽 (faintly) said: "I just interrogated the Yin Corpse Sect people, saying it’s the Ya Nu He Huan Sect?"

"Mm."

"You were once of the same path, do you recognize anyone?"

This woman, clearly jealous of the little white-haired girl to the extreme, but this meaning still wanted to seek justice for her friend.

Lu Xing Zhou shook his head: "The so-called same path between us, we only met and cooperated occasionally, so I didn't see many people. Relatively speaking, more people within the same path knew me. I often represented the Yan Luo Hall in discussions with others, and I once cooperated with people from the Ya Nu He Huan Sect... It’s not strange that she recognized me, but I really didn’t recognize her."

Shen Tang pondered for a moment: "She should have just cultivated and come out of the mountain, so her experience is insufficient, and she made the mistake of thinking as usual. Always thinking that the Yan Luo Hall’s Judge Official is just a strategic role, she suffered a big loss from you. This matter should be taken seriously. Since she suffered a big loss, she will sooner or later seek revenge on you."

Originally, she wasn’t seeking justice for her friend, but was afraid that her man would be in trouble.

In this world, no woman is not afraid of her man being targeted by the Ya Nu He Huan Sect... in matters between men and women, you cannot find a more terrible enemy.

"I will let the old subordinates of the Yan Luo Hall investigate her background." Lu Xing Zhou smiled: "But there are some things you don’t need to worry too much about."

Shen Tang raised her willow eyebrows: "What things?"

Lu Xing Zhou tilted his head: "The He Huan Sect's little tricks don't have much effect on me."

"How do you see that?" Shen Tang instead said with some curiosity: "Even if I believe your determination... actually, I don’t very much believe it..."

Lu Xing Zhou: "?"

"Cough." Shen Tang coughed dryly: "Just their charm techniques and confusing the heart, can your cultivation resist it?"

"Yes." Lu Xing Zhou didn't want to say more, because in this aspect he really had a treasure. When he first dealt with the Ya Nu He Huan Sect, Yuan Mu Yu deliberately gave him a jade pendant specifically to block this kind of thing. So for this aspect of confidence, it was even more sufficient than his confidence in his own determination.

If he was really hooked into bed by a demoness from the He Huan Sect, then he would probably die without knowing how he died.

So Shen Tang and Yuan Mu Yu were worried about the same thing...

He quickly changed the topic: "The target of the Ya Nu He Huan Sect is Qing Li. Now even if she seeks revenge, she will take revenge on me personally. If your identity is not exposed, by reason, Tian Xing Sword Sect is not a target at their level of power. I still have a grasp of the demon path’s behavior on this point. So you don’t need to consider too much about this matter. Instead, you should think about how to stop the spread of the underground magnetic field. This will affect the entire area, and the court must value it. We should separate. You go find Wan Cheng, I will go find my old subordinates."

Shen Tang was still a little worried: "You need to be careful when you go out alone. You see this time, you just came out and immediately had a conflict with people."

Lu Xing Zhou said: "How did you come so fast?"

Shen Tang turned her head a little awkwardly: "After the meeting, I went to find you. A Nuo said you and Qing Li came out, I..."

Lu Xing Zhou’s heart flashed with Du Gu Qing Li's sentence "Shen Tang's heart is full of you".

He sighed, and said softly: "We see each other every day, no need to be in a hurry for a moment... we have a long time."

Shen Tang gently "um"了一声 (sounded).

"Judge Official adult, what is the meaning of your visit..." The fifth-rank assassin in the county was precisely the familiar face from before, who had cooperated to kill the Huo Lei and Huo Ting brothers, and... the one who had sent the demon core fruit.

Seeing Lu Xing Zhou come to find him, the assassin's heart was extremely uneasy. His first reaction was that the matter of the fruit hadn't been exposed, and that the Judge Official adult had discovered that it was sent by Yan Jun?

Actually, Lu Xing Zhou had completely forgotten about this matter. Although the source of the fruit was suspicious at the time, the thing was indeed useful. Who had the mind to trace the source of where it came from? Anyway, it was Shen Tang who brought it over.

He directly asked: "Does the Ya Nu He Huan Sect have a new direct descendant now?"

The assassin was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Yes. She just came out of the mountain not long ago. I heard she is also a rare genius in a thousand years. She is only eighteen and already at the fourth rank. If the Zhen Mo Si knew, the next new show list might rank her first or second."

Lu Xing Zhou nodded: "This matches... What is her name?"

"Her name is quite like a big family lady’s, called Pei Chu Yun. It doesn't quite match the usual烟视媚行 (flirtatious and charming) names used by the Ya Nu He Huan Sect. We suspected that she was a lady from a big family who had fallen. Someone even secretly visited the Pei family, but it hasn't been long, so there is no follow-up for now."

"Tsk, how can you call it a fall? Looking down on your own path, huh?" Lu Xing Zhou patted his shoulder: "To say, a big family lady doing He Huan Sect, that’s called a Bodhisattva."

The assassin’s mouth twitched, feeling that the Judge Official was a bit different from before.

Much more open-minded... unlike the time when he quietly stayed in the gloomy Judge Official hall, looking like he was smiling, but his eyebrows and eyes were all阴翳 (gloomy).

He carefully asked: "Did this one offend the adult?"

Lu Xing Zhou smiled: "I offended her."

Assassin: "..."

"Do you have any other information?"

The assassin didn’t have much information, and could only provide reference: "Since the upper-upper generation sect master of the Ya Nu He Huan Sect died at the hands of the Tian Yao Holy Land, they have declined a lot after that. These two or three generations have not produced any extraordinary figures, and they are almost unknown in the world. In this situation, to actually have a genius appear, they should be planning to support her."

Lu Xing Zhou thought for a moment, and shook his head: "Probably not."

Assassinating the Tian Yao Saintess is a bit difficult. This is fine, but the key is the independent action, which is a bit strange. If the sect’s treasure was genuinely planning to support her, why would she need such a heavy merit? Almost anything would be fine... This is more like she personally wants to achieve merit to suppress others, so when she heard that the Tian Yao Saintess was nearby, she couldn't stop herself from acting on her own.

Thinking this way, this demoness hated herself even more...

No way, no matter how much of a Bodhisattva you are, you still can't compare to the little white-haired girl.

After thinking for a bit, Lu Xing Zhou still took out some spirit stones and handed them to the assassin: "This is the commission... Help me keep an eye on the movements of the Ya Nu He Huan Sect, especially this Pei Chu Yun. If there is any sign of trouble, notify me immediately. It would be best if you could know where she is..."

The assassin carefully said: "Do I need to report this?"

Lu Xing Zhou glared at him: "Do you usually report every small task of probing others' intelligence? Isn’t that unnecessary and boring?"

The assassin wanted to speak but stopped.

Not to mention probing intelligence small tasks, even assassination tasks didn't all need to be reported. At most, valuable intelligence would be handed over to the higher-ups for use. But this was your, Lu Xing Zhou’s, task... and it specifically involved a woman, a demoness who could drain a man dry and was倾国倾城 (capable of toppling states and cities with her beauty).

Thinking of Yan Jun's ice-cold eyes beneath her mask, the assassin shivered all over.

"Don't report it." Lu Xing Zhou sighed: "Yan Jun doesn't necessarily want to hear about me, don't provoke her anger. Moreover..."

He smiled slightly: "If my name appears on the new show list, shouldn't some other people within the Yan Luo Hall come to find trouble with me?"

The assassin shook his head: "Adult thinks too much, actually they dare not. No one dares to guess exactly what Yan Jun is thinking, in case they think they are flattering her but actually kick the horse's leg?"

Lu Xing Zhou laughed: "Aren't you afraid? Killing me might be kicking the horse's leg, and being too close to me might also be."

The assassin laughed hey hey.

All the fruit was given by the old man. How could the old man not know? Don't treat you as the "former" Judge Official, just continue to treat you as the Judge Official, that's right. It's also not getting too close.

To put it plainly, until now there is no new Judge Official in the Yan Luo Hall. Doesn’t that prove something?

This is something that anyone with a bit of intelligence should be able to judge, but clearly, the so-called smart Judge Official himself doesn't seem to see it.

While Lu Xing Zhou was looking for his old subordinates to inquire, Pei Chu Yun bowed her waist and limped into the backyard of a brothel in the county.

She had changed her clothes, no longer the black clothes and cloak she had worn pretending to be from the Yin Corpse Sect. Instead, she wore a simple white long skirt, which, combined with her injured appearance, made her look even more楚楚可怜 (pathetic and helpless). Her eyes turned and then泫然欲泣 (looked as if she were about to cry), extremely capable of stimulating a man’s desire to protect and conquer.

Even the He Huan Sect's own people had to praise her. The Saintess was truly blessed by heaven in a thousand years, whether it was her cultivation talent or her beauty.

At this time, in broad daylight, the brothel’s front hall was already filled with the smell of flower wine and revelry. In the backyard, their secret base in the He Huan Sect also had many people drinking and making merry.

Seeing Pei Chu Yun limping back, a woman laughed and asked: "Saintess, how did you get injured?"

Beside the woman followed a strong man with a dull expression. His pupils were fixed on the woman from beginning to end,透着 (revealing) endless attachment.

Pei Chu Yun's eyes held some讽意 (sarcasm). Who knew that this man was once a famous sword cultivator, a flying sword reaching across three or four states... at this moment, he was no different from a dog.

"Nothing." Pei Chu Yun pretended as if nothing had happened, leaned against the side, and lazily poured herself a cup of wine and sipped it lightly: "I went to probe a bit about the so-called Tian Yao Saintess who appeared on the street before, and ended up being ambushed."

The laughter and playful voices in the hall suddenly stopped. Everyone exchanged meaningful glances, and finally, that woman still lightly laughed: "To be able to kill your way out of the Tian Yao Holy Land's ambush, the Saintess also brought honor to us... but our location wasn't exposed, was it?"

"No."

That woman sighed: "Chu Yun, listen to senior sister's advice. Just think about the idea of controlling the Tian Yao Saintess and so on... how about changing your target to a man? Even if he's ten times stronger than the Tian Yao Saintess, the difficulty for us will still be ten times lower. Men, you know..."

Pei Chu Yun sneered, just about to say something, but her heart suddenly flashed with Lu Xing Zhou's hateful face.

Her wine cup paused between her red lips for a moment, and she幽幽 (faintly) asked: "How much do senior sisters know about the former Judge Official of the Yan Luo Hall, Lu Xing Zhou?"
