Chapter 68: The seductive white fox confuses the common people (4)
One word made Zhuo Heng's heart beat a little. He puffed up his chest and said: "I also know a little about the Celestial Master's lineage. You must be the demon envoy under the Celestial Master, right? You are so skinny and sickly.
You can only lie down, and even when you walk you have to be carried, how can I be more cumbersome than you?"
"I'm not her demon."
"Then you don't have the right to speak!" Zhuo Heng said without hesitation. He originally thought that this monster was unparalleled and stunning, but after a few words of conversation, he changed his mind. This monster's temperament is really not good.
Likeable.
"You two, be quiet!" Qianye suddenly hammered the table and shouted angrily.
Zhuo Heng hurriedly jumped over and said, "Master, can I take you back to your room to sleep?"
However, the answer to him was still the sound of Qianye breathing evenly again, as if the words just now were just words in his sleep.

Ning'an Mansion experienced unprecedented chaos. Many people saw the flames and thick smoke filling the sky under the night. The fishy smell lingered for a long time. It is said that in half of the city, all the flowers and plants died overnight, and all the leaves were gone.
Counting falling lights is so terrifying that it’s hard to feel at ease.
The surviving government servants instantly became heroes, telling people the strange things that happened that night with added embarrassment and jealousy. The governor was a demon incarnate, and he did all kinds of evil to bring trouble to the countryside, and even framed the heavenly master who was doing justice for heaven.
He wanted to drive out all the Heavenly Masters.
However, the Celestial Master is a disciple of a god. After a fierce battle with righteousness, the evil prevailed. Thanks to the Celestial Master, otherwise Ning'an Mansion would never have peace again.
Storytelling stories about a heavenly master subduing demons were performed in major teahouses and restaurants. People were dumbfounded and covered in cold sweat. By the end of the story, they clapped their hands and shouted happily.
The Celestial Master's status was once reduced to a rat on the street, and then he became a very popular figure in Ning'an Prefecture.
There were many people who thought that Heavenly Masters were just magicians who pretended to be gods and ghosts in order to gain fame and reputation, but they never thought that there really are demons and ghosts in this world, and Heavenly Masters really have some abilities.
For a time, it became common for Ning'an Mansion to ask a Celestial Master for fortune telling, for weddings and funerals, for unlucky times, for strange things, and even for lost things at home.
...the Almighty Heavenly Master.
And the value of the Celestial Master has also increased. In fact, it takes a hundred taels of silver to ask a question. Therefore, there are really more people who have no ability but just shake their heads and make up mysteries.
Zhuo Yuan was busy accepting all matters from the governor of Ning'an Prefecture, checking previous files, and found numerous death cases and countless unjust imprisonments.
And he was corrupt and illegal, deducting wages from various places, robbing women of the people, and seizing people's fields... The former governor probably would have died many times even if he had survived.
However, since the former governor was killed by a gangster, he does not need to carefully examine the evidence of the crime. He only needs to return the unjust case that can be undone for a new trial.
It was not until late at night that Zhuo Yuan remembered that he had not seen Zhuo Heng for several days. After asking, he found out that Zhuo Heng had entered Qianye's courtyard since that day and had never come out again.
Suddenly shocked, Zhuo Yuan hurried to the compound where Qianye was staying. This younger brother of his had always been extremely enthusiastic about new things.
It must be the first time I met the Heavenly Master, so it would be okay if I wanted to make friends with him. However, Zhuo Heng is a mature man, and Qianye is also a young girl. If these two people get along day and night, if word spreads about it, wouldn't it ruin Qianye's reputation?
