Knowing the future development, how could Ji Miaoyan seek her own death?
Mu Wanyi thought that this would be enough to get the girl out, but she underestimated Ji Miaoyan's determination.
"I personally believe that the Ziyang Holy Land is far stronger than the Xianyun Sect. I want to find a big tree to take shelter under, so I'm definitely looking for a bigger one."
"Although I was born into the royal family, I have no interest in inheriting the throne. Besides, my brothers and sisters are all better than me, so it's not my turn to compete."
"If I cause trouble to the Holy Land in the future, I will definitely leave the Holy Land on my own initiative and will never bring trouble to my master."
After she said this, she put herself in a weak position and also showed that she did not want to cause trouble to the Holy Land.
In fact, she had no plans to stay in the Zi Yang Holy Land for long.
According to the historical process known in the previous life, it would not be long before Zhao Mengyao would be expelled from the holy land for stealing forbidden skills.
What she wanted was to find an opportunity to kill the female devil Zhao Mengyao before she was expelled from the holy land.
"Master, why don't you accept her as a registered disciple? A registered disciple won't be so deeply involved, but you can also teach her the art of formations."
Luo Xueqing thought for a while and made this suggestion.
In many sects, registered disciples are not considered formal disciples. Not only do they not have the generous resources and treatment of direct disciples, but they may also not receive the patient guidance of their master.
At most, the master will give some pointers casually, or you can build good relationships with your senior brothers and sisters and ask them for some guidance.
Sometimes, nominal disciples have a lot in common with temporary workers, such as the possibility of being abandoned at will.
If a registered disciple gets into trouble outside, it's not easy to return to the sect to ask for help. The master and his senior brothers and sisters may not necessarily care about you, and they may even kick you out.
Zhao Kangping frowned. What was wrong with Xue Qing? Why was she speaking for an outsider?
"Let me think about it. How about this, young lady, you go back first. If there is any news, I will pass it on to you through Xueqing."
Zhao Kangping used the words that companies often say when interviewing employees.
What? Go back and wait for news.
There was no news after I returned.
This is actually a rejection.
But Ji Miaoyan had obviously never seen this kind of routine before, and actually nodded happily.
She knew that it wasn't easy for the other party to accept her as a disciple. As the saying goes, good things take time, and becoming his disciple probably wouldn't be that easy either.
"Okay, I'll wait for good news." The girl didn't know she was being teased and bowed to him.
Then she slowly backed out.
On the way out, Zhao Mengyao happened to come towards her. She was quite surprised to see a strange woman appear in Yaohua Palace.
She couldn't help but open her beautiful eyes wide and take a good look at this strange girl.
It’s too peaceful. Master would definitely not look down on this level.
When Ji Miaoyan saw Zhao Mengyao, her heart was like a surging wave.
It was this woman who caused great suffering to the people of the world, with countless people losing their homes and becoming displaced, and countless soldiers buried in foreign lands.
Kill her, kill this female devil.
She had murderous intentions in her heart, but she did not lose her mind.
Not to mention that this was completely groundless and without a clear reason. If she attacked at this time, it was uncertain whether she could kill the other party, but she would definitely be in danger.
Her fists were clenched so tightly that they made cracking sounds, and her face was twitching, but she still relied on her strong self-control to suppress all her emotions.
She must not show any abnormality. At this time, she should not know Zhao Mengyao. They are just two unrelated strangers.
Then, she acted as if she had met a stranger, without showing any expression, ignoring Zhao Mengyao and walking straight past.
After the two passed each other, Zhao Mengyao glanced at the girl's back.
She always felt that this girl was not simple, but she didn't find anything wrong.
"Master, who is she?" Zhao Mengyao walked to the master and asked.
Zhao Kangping didn't answer. Luo Xueqing at the side spoke first, "She's my friend. She saved my life not long ago. She wants to become our master's disciple."
Zhao Mengyao hugged Zhao Kangping's arm, letting her breasts press against his arm. She asked, "What is Master's plan?"
When Zhao Mengyao heard that she might have another junior sister, she also became interested.
She actually doesn't mind having a junior sister. She has been a junior sister for many years, but has never been a senior sister.
But the prerequisite is that the junior sister does not compete with her for the master.
Zhao Kangping glanced at Luo Xueqing and said carefully, "I haven't thought about it yet."
Mu Wanyi, who was standing by, was also busy with work and couldn't stay here for long, so she said goodbye, "I have to get busy. Please take good care of your Master."
Zhao Kangping calmly pulled his hand out of the second disciple's arms, and they all said goodbye to Mu Wanyi.
Mu Wanyi smiled back at them and said, "Then I'll be leaving first."
Then she tore through space and returned to the Holy Lord's Palace.
"Master, where did you go last night?" After Mu Wanyi left, Zhao Mengyao went straight to the point.
Zhao Kangping had been missing for a night, so she must have been worried.
"Master, are you and Uncle-Master?" Luo Xueqing noticed something unusual. She detected a large amount of Master's aura on Mu Wanyi, and it was concentrated in...
This is really something to think about.
Zhao Kangping did not hide anything and confessed his affair with Mu Wanyi.
The disciples reacted in different ways.
Luo Xueqing still expressed her understanding. This could be considered their final culmination. As for the fight over who was bigger or smaller, she didn't care. She just wanted to be with her master.
However, when Zhao Mengyao heard that her master was beaten to death by her uncle and even suffered physical depletion, she became a little angry.
Does this mean that I can’t do anything pleasant with Master in the next few days?
Master, this is considered to be eating alone.
……
In a mountain forest, a barefoot girl with white hair and pink eyes was walking in the woods.
She came to a cave alone.
She stood there in a daze, looking at the cave entrance covered with vines.
About three hundred years ago, she was sent here by that young man.
He once said that he would visit her often.
At first, he did keep his promise. Every time he came, he would hunt some monsters and give them to her as food.
At that time, she stayed dormant in the cave for a long time, curling up her huge body and resting in the cave.
Every time he came, he would shout into the cave.
At that time, whenever she heard the boy's cries, she would twist her long body and crawl out of the cave.
Then she let the boy stroke her white scales.
Sometimes she would let her forked tongue slide across his cheek.
He always pushed her tongue away while telling her what food he brought her today.
Every time he would stuff the skinned monster into her mouth, sometimes a goat, sometimes a bear, and sometimes a wild boar.
At that time, she wished there was someone who could often bring her food, tell her stories, and watch the sunrise and sunset with her.
It carried him crawling in the mountains, chasing beasts in the forest, and swimming in the rivers.
Although life is simple, it is very happy.
However, one day, she no longer waited for the young man, but waited for a group of monks who were hunting monsters.
She still remembered how the monks had slashed scars on her body with their swords, or cast all sorts of spells on the beautiful white scales that she was so proud of.
That day, she hoped so much that the boy would appear again to save her.
But God is not so kind.
She didn't wait for the boy.
"Ow~"
Just as she was lost in her memories, a tiger roar was heard from the cave.
Two green eyes lit up in the cave, and then a huge tiger walked out.
This tiger's body length alone was approximately three times that of an ordinary tiger. Clearly, it was a demonic beast, but its intelligence was still undeveloped.
There are also a few broken arrows or rusty iron swords stuck on its back. These embellishments not only do not weaken the tiger's momentum, but also highlight its battle experience.
The breath from the tiger's wide-open mouth was so stinking it was enough to make people foam at the mouth.
It swung its tail like a steel whip, leaped up, and pounced towards the girl.
In her eyes, monsters without intelligence were no different from animals.
The girl didn't even look at the giant tiger. She flipped her palm and pushed it forward.
The powerful demonic power instantly strangled the tiger.
The huge tiger's body shattered into fine sand and disappeared before it hit the ground.
"I found this place first, and I won't give it to anyone else." The girl muttered to herself at the dark cave entrance.
Chapter 166: Sneaking into the Former City Lord’s Manor
More than an hour later, Dongfang Jingrou arrived at Yaohua Palace.
She brought the letter of appointment from the Lord of River City.
At the same time, she also invited Zhao Kangping to visit the mayor's mansion in Chuanliu City.
Zhao Kangping hasn't been there since the last riot in Chuanliu City.
Because of the last unrest, the previous city lord was dismissed and the position of city lord became vacant.
There were many people who coveted the position of city lord, but no one expected that the person who would become the city lord would be Zhao Kangping.
"The previous city lord was very greedy. After he left office, we found a large amount of property in his mansion that didn't appear in the account books."
"You probably don't know that our Holy Land requires the monk families in Chuanliu City to pay 20% of their annual income as taxes. However, he secretly raised the tax rate to 30%, and it has continued for decades."
"But when he reported to the Holy Land, he only reported 20% of the account balance. How much do you think he has embezzled over the years?"
Along the way, Dongfang Jingrou kept chattering.
Zhao Kangping discovered that perhaps because he had become a little more familiar with this woman, she began to talk to him more.
Although it’s still all work-related, some progress can be seen here.
"How dare he do that? Isn't he afraid of being overeating after taking so much?" Zhao Kangping was very surprised.
"Of course he couldn't eat so much by himself. He has connections in the Holy Land, and maintaining those relationships cost him a lot of money. So even though such a big commotion occurred during his tenure, nothing happened. At most, he just had to move to another place to enjoy his food."
"Let me tell you something even more infuriating. After he left, the three hundred servants in the City Lord's Mansion still haven't received their wages. Now they're gathering at the City Lord's Mansion to cause trouble."
"Many of them dismantled the furniture in the mansion, or took some calligraphy and porcelain that they hadn't taken away to sell for money. Some even smashed things everywhere to vent their anger."
"Before you came, they were making a big fuss. But when they heard that a new city lord had arrived, they all wanted you to come and do justice."
Of course, this was just the beginning. The mess left by the predecessor was definitely not the only one. After Dongfang Jingrou learned some of the situation, she also felt that it was difficult.
"More than 300 people? Does the City Lord's Mansion need so many people to serve?" Zhao Kangping found it unbelievable when he heard it.
And what the hell is justice?
Do you want to ask him for wages?
The one who owed them money was the former city lord, what does that have to do with him?
But if we ignore these people and drive them away en masse, it might cause unrest and even tarnish the reputation of the Holy Land.
Dongfang Jingrou was also quite troubled. She said, "The previous city lord's family had over sixty people, four generations living under one roof, so it was considered quite a large family. They all lived in the city lord's mansion, so there were so many servants."
Accommodating so many servants is a big problem.
