The Spirit World

Chapter 700 The Show Begins
[“I have never believed that Zhaojun’s going to the frontier would bring peace to the Han Dynasty, or that Mulan’s joining the army would save the Sui Dynasty. I also don’t believe in the old sayings that Daji destroyed the Yin Dynasty, Xi Shi destroyed the Wu Dynasty, and Yang Fei disturbed the Tang Dynasty. I think that in a patriarchal society, women will definitely not have such great fortitude, and the responsibility for the rise and fall of a country should be borne by men. However, male authors in the past have generally put the blame for the fall on women. These are really worthless and hopeless men.”

The phrase "beauty is the root of trouble" is really a perfect invention for scapegoating. This phrase was not said by me, but by someone else.

In front of the Longxing Society's building, Madam Rose's butler Lu Xinzhai was quietly waiting for a young man to come for an appointment.

The young man arrived as expected.

"Here are three hundred rose-shaped flying dragon souvenirs. My mother said that if this lady really likes roses, she can come to our store to order a custom one. The price will definitely be much more favorable. Of course, these three hundred souvenirs also enjoy a 20% discount, a total of 1,200 gold coins. We can also accept gold card checks as payment."

Chang Yufeng held two exquisite cloth bags in his hands. Lu Xinzhai, who had a female body and appearance, nodded formally when she saw Chang Yufeng coming.

She was wearing a very formal dress, as if she was going to attend an important banquet. Her eyes were bright enough, and she stared at the storage ring on Chang Yufeng's hand.

According to the setting, they should not know each other, nor should they know each other, so there is no greeting. The female appearance of Lu Xinzhai is very serious, just like a butler. She counted the money with white gloves on and handed a gold card to Chang Yufeng.

"Here are 1,200 gold coins. Thank you for your hard work." Lu Xinzhai stood up, straightened his posture, pulled the sleeves of his suit, and watched the cuffs slowly buttoned up. A bird was flying in the sunset at dusk.

"However, Madam Rose did not bring any extra hands with her, and it is not convenient for me. If possible, can you hand them over to the warehouse? I will pay extra compensation."

Lu Xinzhai placed his hands behind his waist, turned around and walked towards the interior of the Longxing Building.

"My pleasure." Chang Yufeng carried the bag and slowly followed behind Lu Xinzhai.

The underground prison of Longxing Society could not trap Chang Yufeng at all. Strictly speaking, no one in this world could trap Chang Yufeng who had learned the immortal arts, because his sea of ​​consciousness was directly connected to the Three Thousand Palaces. Unless someone twisted his head off, he could enter the Three Thousand Palaces at any time and anywhere without any hindrance.

Most of the people imprisoned in the underground cells of the Longxing Society cannot escape. Naturally, there is a rather insidious formation to suppress the magicians inside, including a special wall made of magic-proof stone.

Chang Yufeng doesn't know magic, and the magic method that connects the three thousand palaces is not magic either.

He also figured out one thing in a strict sense, that is, if he wants to achieve something, he must first understand the real situation. Any other descriptions of the Longxing Society and the Honghua District are false. Unless Locke really did something that hurt others, he could [help] the Ministry of Internal Affairs controlled by the Longxu Public Office to eliminate the Longxing Society, rather than destroying the Longxing Society himself with any personal grudges.

This is very important for everyone. No one is really an idiot. It is just that they are not rigorous enough and are self-righteous in handling things, which leads to the things they do not make sense.

One thing Chang Yufeng must understand is that he can rely on divine power to help others, but he does not really possess the power of authority. He is just a special individual. Just like every hero, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. He is now in such a situation, so he must face it.

For example, if the Longxing Society really needs to be "eliminated for the people", then his ability to help can also be regarded as a demonstration of his "ability".

Note that he was only helping, not exercising any special power. It was just because this person was bad and everyone wanted to punish him, so the evidence of his crime was sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that the Ministry of Internal Affairs could execute him legally through the provisions of the law.

Let me emphasize again that if this world allowed reckless personal vendettas, it would be a terrible world.

Evil people can be evil, but non-evil people and good people must never imitate the evil of evil people.

If Xun Huangying takes action, he can easily kill Loken or even other mortals without leaving a single trace. If Chang Yufeng asks him for help, Xun Huangying will definitely agree.

But what is the difference between that and a murderer? Who would like such a cruel person? Being close to such a person would make people feel scared, even terrified.

Chang Yufeng can't be such a person.

In other words, Chang Yufeng, who has such a family and has been educated with kindness and conscience, will no longer regard human life as worthless.

He has never experienced the ups and downs of the martial arts world, so naturally he does not have the murderous spirit. Although he hates evil and thinks about protecting life, he will never kill indiscriminately, nor will he let himself have any palpitations, like a promiscuous saint. He will never do that.

He also supports the idea of ​​avenging grievances and revenge...

He needs to go there in person.

It seemed that in the past, he had visited many places like this to see how the people there lived. But now, he was no longer a king with divine power, but a child. Perhaps in the future he would be an adventurer, a husband, a father, rather than a king of gods.

After passing through the hall of Longxing Society, they came to a very small living room. The white oak carved steps were painted with a thin brown paint, which made the white inside appear clearer. Then there was the fresh floral scent floating in the air. It was a nectar scent squeezed from the fruit called [Qingle Fruit]. It was very light and charming, but for those who had never smelled it, it would be very strong and even choking. This was a kind of home fresh perfume that was very popular among the nobles of Wenti County, because Qingle Fruit was a specialty transported from the Elf Kingdom in the south.

In this corridor leading to the hall, people wearing very formal suits walked very slowly. Most of them had some special fragrance. The suits and dresses were all very special custom-made, and no two were the same. Chang Yufeng was only able to see their thighs due to his height, so he lowered his head shyly. Beyond the white marble floor tiles was a bright red carpet, which dazzled Chang Yufeng and made him lose his way in the direction of Lu Xinzhai.

Fortunately, there is only a long corridor in this place. As long as Lu Xinzhai is there, he will not get lost because he just needs to keep moving forward.

There should be a banquet going on here. Everything is in order, except that the dishes have already been served and everyone is busy, as if they are just greeting each other.

There was no smell of wine or food in this hall, only the aroma of Qingle fruit. This magic of processing smell was very low-level, but it could show respect for the guests. Of course, were the guests really here to eat this meal? Of course not.

The so-called good show has just begun.

In front of Chang Yufeng, a white thigh walked over, then slowly retreated. A pair of big blue eyes were covered with peacock blue eye patches. She slowly squatted down and looked at Chang Yufeng in confusion.

"Jack? Why are you here? What are you doing here?" The visitor was Lilimarine Carolingian, the second daughter of the Carolingian family.

Although she was a lady from a wealthy family, she was born rebellious. For example, she would go to her family's handicraft store to buy some of her favorite souvenirs without telling her family.

These souvenirs sold specifically to tourists do not have much value in themselves and have no collection value. In the eyes of the major families, they are not in line with the family's dignity and have reasonably become the objects of the common people.

Unless you don't live in Wenti County, who would buy this kind of souvenir? In Wenti County, dragon-shaped items can be seen everywhere, and they are already used to it. There is a saying that only outsiders would buy such things. Therefore, Lili Marlene's rebelliousness has long destined him to meet her. She is currently studying in the special school of [Lastar].

"Me? Sister Lilimarlene... I'm here to deliver something to someone." Chang Yufeng picked up the bag. Lilimarlene squatted down and took a look at the cloth bag. She was naturally familiar with the handicrafts inside, but she obviously frowned her thin eyebrows that were already covered with makeup.

"I heard from Kraft that your mother is looking for you everywhere... She even told the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They are looking for you too." Lili Marlene stood up, took a small fan off the small hook on her waist, and handed it to Chang Yufeng: "Jack, don't run around, go home early, take this, and if your mother asks, just say you went to my house to play... Got it? You are a boy, you can't play around. Don't make your parents worry, understand?"

"I see." Chang Yufeng took the fan and gently buckled it around his waist: "Sister Lili Marlene, what are you doing here?"

"There's an auction going on here, but it has nothing to do with you. Go home quickly. If your mother gets anxious, she'll spank you." Lili Marlene seemed to be preoccupied with something, and didn't say much. Instead, she looked at Lu Xinzhai. Lu Xinzhai's eyes were very unfriendly, but the clothes Lu Xinzhai was wearing were obviously the clothes of a housekeeper, so she just said, "I know this kid. After he delivers his things, let him leave. Got it?"

Chang Yufeng then saw that Lili Marlene was wearing a golden long dress. The dress was shining with gold, and the eyeshadow with the peacock emblem, which was unique to the Carolingian family, made the girl stand out particularly well. And her small fan, which was at Chang Yufeng's waist, also had a shining silver buckle.

Lu Xinzhai ignored Lili Marlene. Lili Marlene squatted down and looked at Chang Yufeng, saying earnestly: "Listen to your sister, ha..."

"I got it." Chang Yufeng nodded briskly. In the eyes of all those who didn't know the truth, he was just a little child and had never changed. However, it was true that he was extremely sensible and did not require others to worry about him. He was also a recognized good child.

When helping her parents sell things, Lili Marlene praised herself, but in the end, it was still the unfortunate children who had to grow up early, including herself.

"Sister! Sister!" Behind Chang Yufeng, someone called out "sister" clearly. Lili Marlene waved to the child who was running over calling "sister".

"it's here."

Chang Yufeng also looked back. The one who could call Lilimaren sister was naturally Lilia, the third daughter of the Carolingian family, one of the three major families in Wenti County.

Lilia was also wearing a blue dress with the hem of her skirt surrounded by arched steel wire, like a blue swan with its wings raised.

Lili Marlene's voice was soft. Because she was born weak and sickly, she ran over, followed by a private doctor.

"Sister..." Although Lilia's voice was soft, she sounded very strong, not like the weakness of a patient. She glanced at Chang Yufeng. She was... taller than Chang Yufeng... half a head taller.

Chang Yufeng still needed to look up at her.

"Let's go...Father is already inside." Lilimaren took Lilia's hand, and Lilia's blue eyes were always staring at Chang Yufeng.

Lilia was not petite, so in Chang Yufeng's eyes, everything about her seemed to be larger. Her eyes, her eyebrows, and her mouth, although they looked big, appeared so harmonious. He scratched his head and looked at the third lady of Carolingia with some confusion.

It was as if this girl knew from the beginning that she was not an ordinary person, so she stared at him intently... Even when she was being held by her own sister, she would look back from time to time.

"Let's go... Madam Rose still wants to meet you in person. She just told me."

Lu Xinzhai turned his head and glanced indifferently at all the distinguished guests who were entering the venue one after another.

"If you don't want to embarrass yourself here, I think you'd better follow me quickly."

"it is good."

Chang Yufeng nodded and smiled gently.

What... A child from an ordinary family, entering the Longxing Society where the show is about to begin, is like a confused lamb, not knowing that the big bad wolf is right in front of him...

Really... If I can't escape, there will be no follow-up...

Locke is really ruthless. No one knows what he is planning. He has gathered all the families here and is determined to direct and act in a big drama.

Chang Yufeng didn't know many people here. Maybe in his impression, he only knew Lilimaren and Lilia's family. He had met them once or twice because they had done him a favor.

Maybe Hall will also attend this banquet.

Chang Yufeng didn't care about many things, so apart from the fragrance, the red carpet, the white oak stairs, and the bright lights, he didn't have much impression.

In fact, most of the decorations here are valuable. Various people have carefully taken care of this place and placed all the decorations. Not to say that all the decorations in the hall are valuable, but there are a few things that are absolutely valuable.

The painting "Flowers of Forlandi" on the wall is an original work of great value. Putting it in the hall means connecting it with the dignity of the three major families in Wenti County.

There is no room for noise here, and although there is no music, it looks magnificent and the silence is very regular.

The heels of high heels and leather shoes stepped together, taking solemn steps, gathering all the nobles of Wenti County here, waiting for a shocking conspiracy.

Chang Yufeng was not controlled by ordinary magic, and he had no vested interests with anyone, so this was a reasonable way to deal with the situation. It was also very rational.

He appeared like this even though he was caught in the jail because he wanted to provoke Locke. From what we saw before, Locke had been operating for thirty-three years and was happy with his tricks, thinking that he could cover the sky with one hand. Therefore, he needed to give Locke a signal that he could escape completely, and his purpose was to come for Locke.

Let Locke's pride turn into doubt. I will talk about it later.
