Chapter 539 – A Visit from a Great Enemy

Chapter 539 – A Visit from a Great Enemy

The concierge, seeing that this young gentleman was a talented and handsome man, not like a pitiful person, hesitated slightly and said:

“Wait a moment, my lord!”

He turned around and hurriedly ran into the mansion, about a quarter of an hour later, the sound of hurried footsteps came, a woman dashed and rushed out, she was wearing a plain long dress, her eyebrows were like a faraway daisy, her cherry mouth was small, and her skin was white and tender, like she could pinch out water.

The young woman in her early thirties, dressed in plain clothes, but it is difficult to hide the proud figure, a white flower pinned between her hair, her most sideways look is a faint sadness, for no reason to make people pity.

“Apricot!”

Li Lingsu was smiling, a turbid gentleman with a graceful demeanor.

Chai Xing’er froze and looked at him, her eyes reddened, and she coldly said:

“Isn’t Mr. Li the self-proclaimed prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, with no place for his heart to go, and only walking the rivers and lakes is the only place to go. Where did the wind come from today, blowing you to my place.”

Li Lingsu sighed, “A person whose heart is attached to something won’t be able to go far. It will eventually return to the one it loves.”

Chai Xing’er turned her face away, stubbornly not letting the tears roll down her face.

When this kid left in the first place, he must have left without saying goodbye, leaving a letter or something like that Xu Qi’an secretly guessed in his heart.

Otherwise, this little young woman’s resentment wouldn’t be so heavy, in addition, compared to the Eastern Sisters and Wen Ren Qian Rou, I’m afraid that this Chai Family Aunt’s character is quite stubborn.

Li Lingsu opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something sweet, but feeling that the environment was not right, he coughed and said:

“This senior is a friend of mine, came with me to travel in Xiangzhou, heard about what happened in the Chai Mansion and came to take a look, if there’s anything you need help with, Xing’er, you can just ask.”

The young concierge was dumbfounded that this male was calling Aunt Chai with a mouthful of apricots.

Chai Xing’er took a deep breath and nodded toward Xu Qi’an, her voice cool and polite:

“Senior is a guest from afar, please come inside.”

If we really don t have any feelings, we should be blown away at this moment, alas, another fish that was eaten by a scummy man Xu Qi An clasped his fists in a gesture and led the little mare into the mansion.

After handing the filly over to the Chai Mansion’s subordinates for proper placement, the three of them went to the lobby along with Chai Xing’er.

“Xing’er, did Chai Xian really kill the Chai family head?”

When Chai Xing’er dismissed her subordinates, Li Lingsu couldn’t wait to inquire, “This shouldn’t be ah, Chai Xian has a gentle nature and is not this kind of treacherous person, is there a misunderstanding among them.”

“Misunderstanding?”

Chai Xing’er’s plain white face revealed a cold smile, “I have seen this matter with my own eyes, and the Chai residence has seen it with their own eyes, so how could it be false.”

Li Lingsu mused, “Perhaps there are thieves who disguise themselves?”

Chai Xing’er shook her head, “Transfiguration can’t be hidden from my eyes, furthermore, the number of moves, belongings, and means of harnessing corpses and so on, are all supporting evidence, the appearance can be changed, but these can’t be changed.”

Li Lingsu was dumbfounded, frowning for a long time, and asked what she had been wondering all along, “But why did he do such a heartless thing?”

Chai Xing’er said:

“Because my elder brother intends to marry Xiaolan to the Huangfu family, you know, Xiaolan and Chaixian were childhood sweethearts, and he has always been in love with Xiaolan. After learning about this, he repeatedly asked his elder brother to retract his decision, stating that he wanted to marry Xiaolan as his wife.

“Although Chai Xian has good natural talent, big brother thinks that marrying Xiao Lan to him is just icing on the cake and won’t bring much benefit to the Chai family. However, if we can marry the Huangfu family, and both sides make an alliance, it will be more beneficial to the Chai family’s development.”

Chai Xing’er is the sibling of the head of the Chai family, and her last husband was a flunky.

Hearing this, Li Lingsu’s frown deepened, “Xiao Lan doesn’t love him, she just treats him as her brother. By the way, where is Little Lan?”

Chai Xing’er sniffed, her face forlorn, “Xiao Lan has been taken captive.”

Under Li Lingsu’s questioning, she narrated that on the day of the incident, the people in the house were awakened by the movement of the exchange of hands and rushed to the courtyard of the head of the family, and found that the head of the family had already been killed, and the murderer was none other than the righteous son, Chai Xian.

Seeing that the matter was exposed, Chai Xian’s maniacal heart went wild and he maneuvered the four iron corpses to kill all the way out, thus escaping.

“When I was doing my aftercare, I realized that Xiao Lan had long since left the room, and in the past half a month or so, I’ve sent people around to look for her, but I’ve never been able to find her whereabouts.” Chai Xing’er was filled with worry.

Li Lingsu asked, “Xing’er, don’t you find anything unreasonable about this matter?”

Chai Xing’er said faintly:

“When he killed out of the Chai Mansion that day, I also made a move to stop him, to say that the most unreasonable thing is that Chai Xian’s cultivation has somehow skyrocketed and is no longer below me.

“But as you know, the Chai family’s means of harnessing corpses is derived from the Corpse Compassion Technique of the Compassion Clan. It’s difficult for outsiders to harness it except for myself.”

Li Lingsu “hissed”, his expression was grave and confused, he instinctively felt that there were many unreasonable things in this matter, but he could not effectively summarize it, not to mention that he did not know how to investigate it.

Chai Xing’er saw him locking his brows in contemplation, his tone cold:

“You think Chai Xian is wrongly accused and want to investigate the case and clear his name?”

Li Lingsu shook his head and said, “It is to return the truth to the Chai family, and since I’m here, I naturally want to help you settle this matter.”

Chai Xing’er looked at him coldly, “So what’s your brow?”

Li Ling Su was speechless and shook her head.

The lilac flower like elegant and sorrowful young woman, kindly laughed: “Do you think you are Xu Yinluo, specializing in solving strange cases?”

Li Lingsu laughed bitterly, “Xing’er, why do you have to be so sarcastic, I know you hate me for leaving without saying goodbye”

Duk Duk!

At this moment, the sound of knocking on the table interrupted the pair of smitten men and women, and Chai Xing’er furrowed her delicate brows as she looked at the man in green.

Xu Qi’an slowly said, “There are a few things I would like to ask little miss.”

Little girl. Chai Xing’er raised her eyebrows.

“His status is extraordinary, the Chai Family’s old ancestor is a yellow-haired boy in front of him.” Li Lingsu was afraid that her red-faced confidante would contradict Xu Qian and upset this old man, so she hurriedly transmitted her voice to explain.

Chai Xing’er knew what “longevity” meant, her face changed slightly, her attitude immediately became formal, and she softly said:

“Elder, please.”

“How does family head Chai Jianyuan treat Chai Xian? What is the character of this person, Chai Xian?” Xu Qi’an asked.

Chai Almond replied:

“Chai Xian was an orphan when he was young and suffered a lot of bullying, my brother saw his pity and took him in as a righteous son, not only raised him to adulthood, but also taught him the means to harness corpses and martial arts cultivation, to say that a word of grace is not too much.

“As for this person, Chai Xian, if this bloodshed hadn’t occurred, everyone would still be in the dark, believing him to be a loyal person.”

Xu Qi’an nodded, “That is to say, Miss Chai Family has shown him a great deal of kindness, and his previous disposition did not seem like an ungrateful person. Then, even if he really harbors a grudge and cannot tolerate Miss Chai’s marriage to someone else, wouldn’t it be a better choice to directly take Miss Chai captive and travel far away from home?”

Yes, that’s it Li Ling Su violently high-fived, that’s why he felt that there were many irrationalities in this matter.

Chai Xing’er gazed at her brows in contemplation and said, “Senior has a point, but, that day, I personally fought with him and confirmed that Chai Xian was the man himself, and many people in the mansion could testify to that. Those several iron corpses are indeed his as well.”

Someone testified . Xu Qi’an analyzed, “Corpse compulsion is compatible from the top down, and a powerful corpse compulsion master can release sub-compulsions and forcibly control other people’s puppets. What if someone impersonated Chai Xian and forcibly controlled his iron corpse.”

Li Lingsu mused, “That’s why his cultivation has skyrocketed, but he’s actually not himself at all?”

Chai Xing’er shook her head, ”No, if someone was really disguised as him, it would be correct to not reveal his strength instead. Moreover, there are only a few strong people who fulfill the conditions, so what is his motive? Just to frame Chai Xian?”

Xu Qi’an glanced deeply at her and smiled, “This is something that needs to be investigated, but of course, if Chai Xian can be captured alive, it will save even more trouble.”

The capital city, the Divine Constabulary.

On the second floor lobby, Yang Qianyi stood by the window, facing the window, with her back to the crowd.

Behind him, there were more than twenty warlocks, all of whom belonged to Yang Qianyi’s faction, and were known as the “Back of the Head Party” by their fellow disciples within the Sitian Supervisor.    This was clearly an impolite, mocking name.

However, other factions also had less pleasant names, such as Song Qing’s faction called the “Lunatic Party”, Sun Xuanji’s party was called the “Mute Party”, and Zhong Li’s faction was called the “Ghostly Sorrow Party”. For example, Song Qing’s faction is called the “Crazy Party”, Sun Xuanji’s is called the “Mute Party”, and Zhong Li’s is called the “Ghostly Party”.

Chu Caiwei didn’t have a faction because her rank was too low and she wasn’t yet qualified to take on disciples on behalf of her teacher.

Next year, though, she’ll be qualified to teach apprentices.

Getting back to the point, the atmosphere in the lobby was bad, and the faces of the people were serious.

“Didn’t I say the store was closed, are these people still finished? Don’t give people a chance to live.”

“Simply nonsense, is this group of unruly people trying to drain me of the Sithian Supervisor.”

“If you can’t, mobilize the forbidden army to suppress it.”

“But then, Senior Brother Yang’s reputation would be irreparable.”

“It couldn’t have been worse anyway.”

The warlocks conferred with sad faces as you spoke.

A while ago, Yang senior brother’s whim, intends to open a store in the city to do good deeds, the people of the capital city, but there are difficult things, injustice and so on, can come to the hero for the country for the people Yang Qianyi solution.

At first, the people of the capital did not believe that there is such a good man in the world, “good man Yang Qianfeng Office” is not patronized, but this is not difficult to defeat the combination of talent and wisdom of the Yang brothers.

He found the trust, is a suffering woman, her husband is addicted to gambling, mother-in-law is seriously ill in bed, no money for medical treatment, desperate, begged to Yang Qianfeng firm.

The man who aspires to be the King of Heroes, Yang Qianyi, has no choice but to help this poor woman.

From then on, more and more people asked Yang Qianyi for help and were satisfied, and as word spread, the name of Yang Qianyi, the Secretary for Heavenly Justice, quickly rose to become a household name for a great benefactor.

But it didn’t take long for the flavor to change.

Hundreds of people to a bottomless pit, can vigorously whoring Yang Qianfeng, get satisfied as deserved, do not get satisfied, then cursed.

Yang Qianfeng was whored around, seeing that the great cause is difficult to achieve, sadly closed the store, hiding back to the Szetian Supervision.

But the people did not let him go, and gathered in groups in the square outside the Stargazer’s House to demand justice.

It is clear that we have agreed to whore ourselves out to the end of time, and to be a man of contract.

Yang Qianyue at the window looked downward, only to see hundreds of people gathered in the large square outside the Stargazer Building.

“What’s it all about, read it.”

He spoke in a low, weathered tone, like a man who had come through with a story all over him after being beaten up by society.

The crowd of white-robed warlocks breathed a sigh of relief, and one of them grabbed the thick letter paper on the tabletop, unfolded the first copy, and read it:

“Auntie Zhang, who lives on Wheel Street, said that Auntie Yang’s family next door had another grandchild, and she also wanted to have a grandchild, and hoped that the Commissioner of Heaven would do something about it.”

Yang Qianyi nodded, this is not a difficult thing, although the Si Tian Supervisor has been losing a great deal of money recently, but a packet of medicine money can still be given.

“Then prescribe her son some kidney tonic and aphrodisiac.” He said.

The white-robed magician’s face was odd as he said, “But Auntie Zhang only had three daughters, where did she get a son?”

“.” Yang Qianyi said in a deep voice, “Next letter.”

“Mr. Wang, the shopkeeper of Apricot Street, says that a new store has opened next door and is stealing his business, and he wants the Sifu to help drive the other side away.”

“What is against the law is not done, next letter.”

“Xiao Cui, the servant girl of the Zhao Mansion on Pingkang Street, feels that she has better looks and a better character than Miss, and is not willing to be a maid for the rest of her life, so she asks us to help her become a lady of a wealthy family as well.”

Yang Qianyi held his tongue for half a day, “Cast a good birth in your next life, next letter.”

“Li Er from Li’s village, his daughter-in-law is pregnant in June and is about to give birth, the Li family has a single lineage, he wants to buy his daughter-in-law some tranquilizer medicine but has no silver, so he begs to come to us.”

Without waiting for Yang Qianyi to speak, that warlock helplessly said, “A pair of birth-control pills is fine, but I think the first thing Li Er should do is to forgive her daughter-in-law.”

Yang Qianyi waved her hand with a tired heart, “Next letter.”

“The punk, Liang San, wishes to find a job where he can easily make money day in and day out, and if he can, he prefers that our Szetian Supervisor can send him a mountain of gold.”

Yang Qianyi sighed, “Jinshan doesn’t have one, the day job is written in the Da Feng law, let him pick one he likes.”

“Hehe, this is a letter written by the Xu Family’s main mother, Xu Yinluo’s aunt.” The white-clothed warlock said in surprise.

Yang Qianyi’s tone eased a bit and said, “Tell me what she has to do, I’m acquainted with that dog thief Xu Qi’an for a while, I’ll try my best to fulfill his aunt’s request.”

The white warlock nodded and said:

“She said that her young daughter’s meals were too large, and that her house was so poor that it could hardly be opened. If possible, she also wants to send her infant daughter to the Sithian Supervisor to learn the art, eating and living in the Sithian Supervisor. Her infant daughter also has a master, a Southern Border girl, who is also coming along, so I hope we don’t mind.”

Yang Qianyi’s tone was tired, “Too stupid to be a warlock, unless the supervising teacher personally teaches.”

It’s all a bunch of shit!

In the silence of the tunnel came the sound of light footsteps.

Zhong Li walked to the doorway, peered into the dimly lit tunnel, and spoke in a thin voice:

“Senior Brother Yang, why are you back?”

Yang Qianyi’s tone was hollow: “It’s not worth it on earth, I’m going to come back and rest for a while.”

After a pause, he said suspiciously, “Senior Sister Zhong, I remember you saying that my idea was good and would definitely lead to great things.”

Zhong Li innocently replied, “Did I say that? Can’t remember.”

“.”

Zhong Li asked in a small voice, “How is your career going?”

Yang Qianyi pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, “I think it’s more prudent to commit regicide.”

Chai Mansion, Xiangzhou.

Back garden pavilion, wrapped in a fox fur cloak Mu Nanjian, grabbed a handful of bait, threw it into the pool, attracting koi carp scrambling for food.

Behind her at the stone table, Xu Qi’an threw the poisonous herbs and fruits into the pounding pot to crush them, then scraped them out with a porcelain spoon and ate them into her mouth.

Taking poisons never stopped, and he was incredibly glad that he had brought the reincarnation of the Flower God along with him as he traveled the rivers and lakes, and he was able to take extremely high-quality mutated poisonous herbs and fruits every once in a while.

Equally glad to have brought the filly out with me, the interaction and communication with the filly has eased the aftermath of the heart compulsion.

Xu Qi’an recently figured out an excellent way to deal with the aftermath of the corpse compulsion, that is, to manipulate Heng Yin’s corpse to make him talk and do things, so as to achieve the purpose of “dancing with corpses”.

Just like now.

Li Lingsu ran over in a hurry, Heng Yin, who was standing outside the pavilion, stopped him and said in a deep voice:

“Schizo, please don’t be a light bulb.”

Li Ling Su looked at him in surprise, not bothering to think about how this deadbeat suddenly opened his mouth to speak, hurriedly crossed over, entered the gazebo, and said in a deep voice:

“It’s a big deal, I heard from the house steward that a few monks came just now, and the leader called himself Pure Heart.”
