(Huh?) The devil was stunned for a moment, and continued: (Then just think of a reason and leave immediately!)

No matter what, Li Bai was the imperial teacher of the dynasty. If he ran away in front of Zhang Liang, it would indeed damage his status.

and.

This happened in front of the people. The cunning devil could fully imagine how these unruly people would gossip about him afterwards.

With the devil's permission, Li Bai raised the corners of his mouth meaningfully, and said to Zhang Liang proudly:

"Are you rich? Money is useless! To get involved, you need power! You need a background! Do you think you can form an organization just by spending some money? You are dreaming!"

Li Bai glanced at everyone present and warned loudly: "If you dare to form an armed group privately, I will define you as reactionary elements! And in the name of treason, you will be punished by the magic army!"

Hearing this, the adventurers and civilians present turned pale with fright and sweat broke out on their backs.

"······"

However, Zhang Liang was not frightened by Li Bai's words. Instead, he fell silent, frowning and thinking.

In his opinion, Li Bai emphasized the words "money is of no use", "you need power", and "you need background", and even slightly adjusted his tone.

Although Zhang Liang had no evidence, I always felt that there was something else behind his words.

originally.

The devil could have asked the magic soldiers to capture Zhang Liang and stop his actions, but... with Zhang Liang's strength, it would be the same whether he was captured or not.

Besides.

Zhang Liang couldn't be thrown into jail either. If he saw things he shouldn't see, the situation would only get worse.

but!

Seeing the people being frightened to death by Li Bai and Zhang Liang being speechless, the demon who finally managed to win back a game felt very happy and couldn't help but praise in his heart: "As expected of the chief disciple of Murong Sect!"

The main reason why the devil did not completely corrupt Li Bai was to use Li Bai's wisdom to improve his own position in the organization.

With his own wisdom combined with the wisdom of Murong's chief disciple, the devil believed that he would be able to rise rapidly and advance step by step.

Now that he has successfully possessed the body, it means that Li Bai's life is completely in his own hands.

If he dares to disobey, he will die!

and.

He was right under his nose, and the devil didn't think that Li Bai could play any tricks.

Seeing that everyone was afraid to say anything, Li Bai raised his head and laughed out loud "Hahahaha".

Subsequently.

He suddenly bent down, picked up the money bag on the ground, deliberately held it in front of Zhang Liang and patted it, saying arrogantly:

"You maliciously spread rumors! You attempted to form a reactionary organization! The two charges combined are enough to sentence you to 20 to 30 years."

Zhang Liang didn't react when he heard this, but the adventurers and common people around him took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Liang with sympathy, as if they had guessed the ending.

"But... since this is your first offense, I will only confiscate your start-up capital this time. Just take this as a lesson learned and don't do these useless things in the future!"

Although everyone had guessed what Li Bai was going to do, they never expected that he was actually going to confiscate everything.

"Fuck! That's 1000 gold coins! Just confiscated it like that?"

"Hiss...I feel so sad just looking at it..."

"I only make 2 gold coins a year... If it were me, I would want to die..."

"But there's nothing we can do about it. He's the national teacher... And, this guy did break the law... It's just that this lesson is a little too... Alas..."

The people in front still didn't dare to comment, but the people behind felt heartbroken for Zhang Liang when they saw that his 1000 gold coins had been confiscated.

"And you too!"

Li Bai once again glanced at the people around him and emphasized loudly: "You have seen the consequences of maliciously spreading rumors, but I still suggest that you try it too."

Seeing Li Bai's evil smile, the people present broke out in a cold sweat.

What Li Bai meant by wanting to "give it a try" was that he wanted to let the people make mistakes and then find reasons to confiscate their money.

Life was already difficult, and no one wanted to make it worse, so they all kept their mouths shut.

(Very good! Well done!)

Seeing Li Bai's performance, the devil praised him loudly and felt more and more that his choice was right.

Li Bai is indeed a talented person!

Just as the scene fell into silence, Li Bai put his hands behind his back, laughed loudly, turned around and left in a cool manner.

Seeing that Zhang Liang remained silent and seemed to be thinking about something, others could only feel sorry for his fate.

"Dude, don't be upset. You can earn money again if you lose it, and you still have to live your life."

"yes···"

Just when everyone wanted to comfort Zhang Liang, their attention was suddenly attracted by a woman in the distance.

"Are you here again today..."

Just in the direction Li Bai left, a skinny woman was kneeling on the ground holding a pale baby.

From her dress, it can be seen that the woman's family seems to be very poor, and the baby in her arms also seems to be seriously ill and has a pale face.

She knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times very devoutly.

Subsequently.

She carefully protected the baby, stood up, took three steps forward, then knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Kowtow three times every three steps.

Going back and forth like this, walking towards this side.

Seeing the woman's behavior, Zhang Liang, who was thinking about something, looked over curiously.

(What is she doing?)

however.

Just as Zhang Liang was thinking this, someone next to him suddenly said:

"Is this the seventh day already?"

"Yeah, I don't know who she listened to, saying that if she kowtowed around the Adventure Association for seven consecutive days, her son would be saved. Isn't that nonsense?"

"It's ridiculous, but she didn't have a choice."

The man looked at the woman and sighed helplessly, shaking his head and said, "I have investigated. Her son is seriously ill and needs 30 gold coins for treatment. In order to treat her child, she planned to sell her house, but... she was deceived by the real estate agent. Not only did she lose her house, she also lost her job. Most importantly, her husband was furious and planned to retaliate against the real estate agent. In the end, he was arrested for attempted murder and has to go to jail for five years."

"When it rains, it pours. The hemp rope breaks at the thinnest part."

After hearing the man's speech, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn. Sighs were heard from the crowd from time to time, and everyone felt very sympathetic towards the woman in front of them.

"but···"

An adventurer clenched his fists and said angrily: "Today is the seventh day. If she is fooled again, I will definitely find out who fooled her!"

It's not just the adventurers who think this way, everyone around them thinks the same way.

however!

Just when everyone was wondering who was the person who fooled her, the scene before them made everyone's eyes widen in shock.

"Master, according to your request, today is already the seventh day. Please save my child..."

"ha!?"

"What the hell!?"

"How could it be him?"

Everyone present was surprised to see the woman asking Li Bai for help in a pleading voice.

"I finally understand why Master Li has the time to come to the Adventure Association."

"Wait!" The man showed an unbelievable expression and said, "No, do you think he will save people?"

"I don't really believe it, but since he's here, he can't just do nothing, right?"

however.

Just as the people said this, Li Bai did not stand idly by, but raised the corner of his mouth and revealed an evil smile.

"I have seen your determination. But you don't really think I will help you so easily, do you?"

Hearing Li Bai's words, the woman suddenly became anxious. She kowtowed and said anxiously, "No, I dare not. If you have any other requests, just tell me. I will definitely do it!"

Seeing that the woman was so obedient, Li Bai snorted coldly and pointed in the direction of the Husky in front of the Adventure Association.

"Go and eat the beast's meal right in front of it."

"!!!"

After hearing what Li Bai said, the onlookers instantly realized what Li Bai was going to do and clenched their fists in anger.

"He's humiliating!"

"Sure enough! He is not a good guy!"

"brute!"

Although they were very dissatisfied with Li Bai, they only dared to hide in the distance and complain quietly.

Women are already desperate, and during these seven days of prostration, their dignity has been trampled upon and no longer exists.

In order to grasp the last hope... in order to please Li Bai... in order to save the child, it’s just snatching food from a dog, so what?

Didn't think much about it.

The woman carefully put the child on the ground, ran towards the Husky without hesitation, stuffed the chicken leg that was out of reach of the Husky into its mouth, and gobbled it up.

half an hour.

After eating the chicken leg, the woman knelt down in front of Li Bai again and begged: "Sir, I have finished eating, you..."

However···

Just when the woman thought that her performance could satisfy Li Bai, Li Bai's words completely extinguished her hope.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Li Bai suddenly burst into laughter, looked at the woman with contempt, and said sarcastically: "You are really stupid! You didn't learn your lesson after being cheated of all your property! Do you think I would spend money to save someone who has nothing to do with me? What can't I do with 30 gold coins? Save your son? You are dreaming! Be more careful! Idiot!!! You have been fooled again!!!"

After a burst of wanton ridicule, Li Bai laughed again, stepped over the baby on the ground, and walked past the woman with a desperate look on her face.

"Oh..."

The woman wanted to reach out and hold Li Bai's feet, begging him to have mercy, but... the woman whose last hope was trampled upon could not help but shed tears of despair.

despair···

My son is seriously ill, my husband is in jail, I lost my job, my house, and my hope...

The important thing is that the child is gone...

In an instant.

The woman was surrounded by despair, her eyes filled with tears became empty, and she didn't know how to continue living...

The onlookers clenched their fists in anger when they saw Li Bai's beastly behavior, and even their back teeth made a crunching sound.

I couldn't help cursing in my heart: "Damn beast!"

(Look back!)

After hearing the devil's instructions, Li Bai turned around to look at everyone and deliberately glanced at Zhang Liang.

Although it was only for a moment, Zhang Liang did notice Li Bai's gaze and frowned thoughtfully.

however.

The devil did not notice this detail. Following Li Bai's vision, the devil saw the people gritting their teeth, the heartbroken women, and the silent Zhang Liang. An unprecedented pleasure and satisfaction suddenly surged in his heart.

(Awesome!!! Hahaha! It’s really so awesome!!!)

(Li Bai! You did a great job! I like humans like you!!!)

Demons love this kind of scene the most. The more helpless they are against themselves, the happier, more satisfied and proud the demons become.
