ninety thousand miles

Chapter 445 Stereotype
Li Chuan followed Yao Shuang to the outside of the mountain gate, and sure enough, the pointy-faced banshee was waiting there.

As soon as the pointed-faced witch saw Li Chuan, she twisted her waist and came over, saying, "Mr. Li, you made me wait for so long." Then she thanked Yao Shuang and said, "Thank you, Senior Yao."

Yao Shuang immediately took a step back and said, "I've brought the person here, you guys can chat."

Li Chuan got straight to the point and asked the pointy-faced witch: "Where is your little sister?"

The pointy-faced witch said, "She's down the mountain, I'll go find her.

Li Chuan said: "How about we meet at the restaurant where we met last time? I'll book a private room and you guys can go there directly?"

The pointy-faced banshee said, "Okay, I'll go first then."

After the pointed-faced banshee walked away, Yao Shuang said, "Daoyou Li, behind..."

"Don't leave." Li Chuan noticed Yao Shuang's intention and said, "Her little sister worked for Prince Su before, so she might know something about Yashan County."

"Is this why she came to you?" Yao Shuang sounded a little surprised.

"Yes." Li Chuan said.

"She waited outside the mountain gate for so long, I thought..." Yao Shuang's voice lowered.

"What do you think you are?"

"Nothing." Yao Shuang said vaguely, and then asked: "Then do you want to ask Junior Brother Wen to go with you?"

"No need." Li Chuan looked at the sky and said, "Let's go quickly. Business is good over there. If we go too late, we will have to find another place to talk, and it may not be safe there."

"Okay, you lead the way." Yao Shuang agreed readily.

Soon, the two sat down in the private room of the restaurant. After a while, the pointy-faced banshee came in with another banshee.

Li Chuan looked at the appearance of the female demon.

She was dressed as a Taoist nun, with a small, pale face and a frail appearance.

The pointy-faced witch said to Li Chuan: "This is my sister, you can just call her Xiao Xiang."

"Xiao Xiang." Li Chuan called out, and suddenly realized that he had known the pointy-faced banshee for so long, but he still didn't know her name, so he asked, "What's your name then?"

The pointy-faced witch said, "You finally remembered this? My last name is Liu, you can call me whatever you want."

"Miss Xiao Liu...?" Li Chuan said.

"It's up to you." Then, the pointed-faced banshee introduced the identities of Li Chuan and Yao Shuang to Xiao Xiang.

After the greetings, Li Chuan asked Xiao Xiang: "Did you work for Prince Su before?"

Xiao Xiang did not answer, but asked: "Is the prince really dead?"

Li Chuan asked: "Do you still want to save him?"

Xiao Xiang said: "If we want to stay alive, we still have to find a way to save him."

Li Chuan thought this was quite interesting, so he asked, "What if he really died?"

Xiao Xiang sighed and said, "If he is really dead, then we can only find our own way out." After that, she continued, "But the news from the capital is that a monster killed the prince. This can't be true, right? It must be fake news spread by that old witch. Then maybe the prince is still alive."

"Why do you want to save Prince Su? Aren't you afraid of Gong Wuguang?" Li Chuan asked following Xiao Xiang's words.

Xiao Xiang said, "I'm scared."

"Then do you still want to save him?" Li Chuan asked.

"Because... this cannot be said." Xiao Xiang said.

"Don't you want to say it, or can't you say it?" Yao Shuang asked.

"No, absolutely not." Xiao Xiang said.

Li Chuan thought of the few vague truths that Prince Su had tried so hard to hint at when he last met Prince Su. It was probably impossible to expect this little Xiang to be like Prince Su. So he asked, "When did you follow Prince Su? Can you tell me this?"

Xiao Xiang replied: "I have always followed Sister Lingyu. Later, Sister Lingyu passed away, so I followed Master Gui. After the news of Prince Su's death spread, Master Gui asked us to disperse, so I came back."

"But...but I'm so unwilling," Xiao Xiang raised her head, making her face look pointed.

It is probably a snake demon.

"Why are you unwilling to accept this?" Li Chuan continued to ask.

Xiao Xiang said, "Prince Su has given us such a good place to practice. The spiritual energy here is even richer than here. Sister Lingyu said that after we build a sect, we can receive spiritual stones every month. We can also ask seniors for advice on practice, so we don't have to grope around on our own. She has also planned a large medicinal field."

"Such a large area," Xiao Xiang gestured with his hands, making a big circle, "and it's all gone in a flash."

"Gone? Why?" Li Chuan asked.

"I can't get in," Xiao Xiang said innocently and cruelly, "I asked Master Turtle if we could try to use the prince's sons. If they can be used, we can raise them. Master Turtle said..."

Li Chuan waited for a while, but didn't hear Xiao Xiang's voice, so he asked, "What did you say?"

Xiao Xiang shook her head.

Li Chuan understood, but he couldn't say anything again.

"Is it in Yashan County?" Li Chuan asked.

Xiao Xiang didn't say anything and didn't move, but her facial features were squeezed together.

So Li Chuan comforted him and said, "If you can't say it, don't force it."

"But Sister Liu said that I must tell her everything I know in order for her to stay in Tianju Mountain and be protected by the Four Gods Palace," Xiao Xiang said.

She looked aggrieved, and glanced at Li Chuan from time to time. For a moment, Li Chuan really thought he had said such a thing, but unfortunately, his memory was really good now, and he said: "I only said that I would not kill you. I am just a guest of the Four Gods Palace, how can I have the right to keep guests?"

"Really? The Imperial Observatory is not hunting me down anymore?" Xiao Xiang asked.

Li Chuan's expression became serious. He said, "Speak clearly. It's no use trying to trick me with words."

Then he said to the pointy-faced witch, "Miss Liu, I treat you as a friend. What do you and your sisters mean by plotting against me now?"

Xiao Xiang glanced at the sharp-faced demon and said, "Sister Liu, didn't you say he was a scholar and easy to control?"

"I didn't say that," the pointed-faced witch quickly denied, "I only said that you were a scholar, but I didn't say the rest."

Li Chuan was speechless for a moment. He asked, "What's going on?"

Xiao Xiang frowned and said, "The Monster Hunting Division sent a lot of people to Yashan County under the pretext of looking for the murderer of Prince Su, and also recruited a lot of monster catchers. One of my sisters had a conflict with them, and I injured the people from the Monster Hunting Division in order to save my sister."

"I showed my face and they are trying to catch me," Xiao Xiang said.

"Injured or dead?" Li Chuan asked.

"Dead." Xiao Xiang said.

"Then tell me everything you know. I will go to the palace supervisor and say a few good words for you so that you can suffer less." Li Chuan threatened her, "You know the methods of the Demon Hunting Division."

"Can you keep me from dying?" Xiao Xiang asked.

"can."

The sound came from the door.

Li Chuan looked up and saw Wen Guying pushing open the bead curtain and walking in.

Wen Guying said: "You can stay in Tianju Mountain, but you must pass the torture of the Four Gods Palace's spiritual observation array."
