It seems like I haven’t slept so peacefully in a long time~!
Third Sister Hu opened her eyes faintly. She didn't know what made her fall asleep. With her current Taoism, she could stay awake day and night, but she still fell asleep under Li Xiuyuan's arms and caress.
"Where is this?"
She found herself in a strange place, lying on a document.
"Third sister is awake? This is the prefect's yamen in the capital." Li Xiuyuan was wearing an official uniform and was processing official documents with his head down: "I saw that third sister was sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up. However, the yamen still has official duties, and some things still have to be done.
I'll handle it myself."
"Where is the second brother? Where has he gone?" Third Sister Hu shook her head, looked around, and found that there was no one in the lobby, and it was already dark outside.
"I asked my second brother to go to the Cihang Hall and check out the authenticity of the Cihang Hall for me. After all, my identity is too special. All the monsters and ghosts in the capital will know about it if I move. With my conduct, I should be fine.
, and I also asked the God of Thunder in the sky to patrol the past. There is nothing wrong at the moment. Three
Sister, if you are tired, take a rest first." Li Xiuyuan said.
The red fox transformed by Third Sister Fox turned around on the document, wagging its tail and said, "What can happen to me? I just made a rude move just now. Please don't take it to heart, sir."
"Is the third sister talking about being emotional? This kind of thing seems to have happened not once. I'm used to it and won't be surprised. When will the third sister be able to get rid of this fox's temper? When will the third sister be truly successful?"
Taoism has become immortal, and now the third sister is just a fox spirit with a thousand years of Taoism.
Well, he can’t be considered a fox fairy." Li Xiuyuan said.
The red fox looked at the man quietly like a woman: "What does it mean to become an immortal? Taboo this, taboo that. There is no joy in being a demon. You can go wherever you want without thinking so much."
"Third Sister, what you said is wrong. Being a demon is tiring. There will be great catastrophes of cause and effect. If you become an immortal, you can live freely in the world. As long as you avoid the world and are not stained by the cause and effect of the world of mortals, you can live forever. All demons who practice are like
The goal is to become an immortal." Li Xiuyuan said.
"When you become an immortal, you can't stay in the mortal world, but you are a mortal." Third Sister Hu said affectionately.
Li Xiuyuan smiled but said nothing.
But just when Third Sister Hu was about to speak, she suddenly noticed something, and immediately turned her head and stared at the door of the Yamen.
"There is a special smell coming here."
The ink pen in Li Xiuyuan's hand stopped for a moment, and then he said: "The land of Yamen is inhabited by ghosts and gods. This special aura must be that of a demon. However, if the demonic aura is too strong, it will attract the attention of the thunder god in the sky and strike him with thunder, so it should not be
Evil demon, is the second brother back?"
"It's not the second brother's breath." Third Sister Hu immediately jumped down from the desk, landed on the ground and transformed into a charming and graceful mature woman in a red dress.
Although she had a charming look on her face, there was a bit of vigilance in her eyes.
"This aura contains both demon and immortality. It should be the aura of an immortal who has not shed his demon body."
"Demon Immortal?" Li Xiuyuan's expression changed slightly: "That should be one of the five immortals from the Wutong Sect. There are not many important Demon Immortals in the capital."
"Master Li is so smart. He guessed the little girl's identity right away." A gust of evil wind blew up outside the Yamen, and a dignified and virtuous woman in a white dress, like a fairy, walked slowly towards her with lotus steps.
"It turns out to be Miss Liu from the Wutong Sect." Li Xiuyuan recognized this person and immediately said: "Miss Liu is really courageous. She can come to the Yamen whenever she wants without any respect. Aren't Miss Liu afraid that I will conquer you?
, have you killed him?"
Liu Ruyan bowed: "I have met Mr. Li."
Third Sister Hu raised her eyebrows: "One of the five immortals of the Wutong Sect? Then he is the enemy."
While she was speaking, she had already taken out a gleaming sword from her sleeve, as if she was ready to face the enemy.
"Is she the fox girl from Qingshan? I have long heard that Master Li has a fox girl as his concubine. Is it this girl?" Liu Ruyan looked as usual, and his tone was modest and not afraid.
"You know quite a lot." Third Sister Hu said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Third sister, please be patient. Capturing her is something I can do with just a few moves. The reason why I let it go is because she doesn't pose a threat to me, and there is still a relationship between me and Miss Liu."
We have to settle the accounts, and it won’t be too late to take action after we sort them out.”
"Humph, I'm sorry you can't do any tricks." Third Sister Hu stepped aside and stood with her sword in hand.
"Miss Liu, tell me, why did you come to see me today? I heard your news last time and went to the palace to get the book of life and death, but I almost didn't get out of the palace. I was wondering if I fell into your scheme.
I planned to go to Miss Liu in person in the next few days to ask for details, but I didn’t expect that Miss Liu would find her tonight.
Here we come." Li Xiuyuan said.
"I did not deceive you, Mr. Li, about the book of life and death in the palace. Daojun did have the book of life and death in his hands, and it was indeed placed in Daojun's temple. I just didn't expect that someone with intentions would take advantage of this, so he was plotted.
Not only you, Mr. Li, but also the little girl was included in the scheme. It is precisely because of this.
I was afraid that there might be some misunderstanding, so I came in person today to apologize and explain the matter to Mr. Li," Liu Ruyan said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Is such an empty explanation useful?"
Liu Ruyan said: "This is the only thing I can do. If Mr. Li doesn't believe that he can beat me back to my original shape today, this little girl will never resist."
"Miss Liu, are you trying to break my bottom line? You should know that I never punish innocent people. Although I occasionally do some excessive things, I always leave some bottom line." Li Xiuyuan said: "Miss Liu risked
Danger’s visit is indeed somewhat sincere, but it’s not enough to convince me.
, If there are no other reasons and excuses, I would like to invite Miss Liu to stay in the Yamen today. When the truth comes out, whether to kill or release, I will have a final decision in my heart."
Liu Ruyan said: "The little lady does come sincerely, and she also knows that there is no way to defend herself with such one-sided remarks, but there is one sentence that she still has to tell Mr. Li."
"What words?"
"Today the five immortals of the Wutong Sect were invited by the Imperial Master. In the palace, they are already discussing how to deal with Mr. Li, and within the next few days." Liu Ruyan said; "Please also ask.
Mr. Li must be careful."
Li Xiuyuan frowned and said, "What was the result of the discussion?"
"I just followed the instructions of the National Master on the day of action. The specific matters were not informed. I guess it's because they don't trust our Wutong Sect." Liu Ruyan said.
"That's it?"
Liu Ruyan said: "That's all I know, but if that day comes, the little girl is willing to help you fight against the imperial master in order to resolve the previous misunderstanding."
"Um?"
Li Xiuyuan's expression condensed when he heard this: "Are you willing to betray the Wutong Sect? What is your purpose?"
"It's still to survive." Liu Ruyan said.
"Young master, I can't trust this woman. Since she has already made the previous plan, I shouldn't continue to believe her. I think she should be killed immediately." Third Sister Hu on the side said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Her words do not have any calculation or harm to me. They are only kind reminders and goodwill. I have no reason to kill such a fairy. Even if this goodwill and goodwill may be fake, then
I can only wait until after the fact to demonstrate, I can’t decide now.”
"Since the Imperial Master is going to deal with me in the next few days, I don't care if I wait a few more days. Everything will be revealed in a few days. I will choose to believe your promise for the time being, but this is the last time for your Wutong Sect.
Chance, this kind of tolerance will not happen again, I hope Miss Liu
Do not choose for yourself a path of destruction.”
"Thank you, sir, for reminding me. I'm very grateful, little lady. It's already late at night, so it's not convenient for me to continue to disturb you. I'll leave first." After Liu Ruyan said this, he gave a salute and then slowly retreated.
Soon, she disappeared outside the Yamen.
"You have the Taoism and ability to reach heaven, why don't you just kill the Wutong Sect and save the opportunity for them to make trouble." Seeing him leave, Third Sister Hu said with some dissatisfaction.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It is satisfying to eradicate the roots, but if you kill several great monsters with thousands of years of Taoism because of your own speculation and unclear hostility, doesn't this approach feel too overbearing and cruel? Even if the way of heaven is ruthless, it will
Everything is left with a glimmer of hope, not to mention
I am a person who lives up to the destiny of a saint."
"Whether the Wutong Sect should be eliminated or not is just a matter of my thoughts. These demon immortals dare not make trouble. What they really want to kill is the national master hiding in the palace. That is the evil demon that brings disaster to the country and the people."
At this point, his eyes became solemn: "It's just that this Imperial Master is not easy to kill. He regards the palace as his home. If I go in, I will tie my own hands. If I don't go in, I will never find a chance. He and Shi Hu
The difference is that Shi Hu chooses to take the initiative, while he has been hiding for thousands of years.
I'm not that harmful, but I'm even more difficult to deal with."
"Then what are you going to do? What can I do for you?" Third Sister Hu said.
"What we can do now is to remain unchanged in response to all changes. Since the Imperial Master has taken action, it is a good thing for me. Only when he takes action will his flaws be exposed." After speaking, Li Xiuyuan whispered to the outside of the Yamen; "
Ma Dong, where is Niu Er?"
"Huhu~!"
Immediately, a dark wind blew outside the yamen, and immediately two ghosts and gods suddenly appeared outside the yamen, clasping their fists and waiting for death.
"Young Master, the younger one is here."
"Assemble some ghosts and gods to pay close attention to the movements of the Wutong Sect. In addition, ghosts and gods are also arranged to patrol in the imperial city. In addition, ghosts and gods must be secretly monitored in each area of the capital. If there is any news about me, come immediately.
Keep me informed, day or night, or when I'm sleeping
time." Li Xiuyuan said.
Since the Imperial Guard has a plan, he must also set up defenses in the capital.
