I, a minor character, fell into the Shura field of the heroine and the villain

From the time she accepted the mission to investigate the Ouyang family, to the time she discovered this underground altar and the missing boys and girls.

Later, it was mentioned that she had a big fight with the lizard monster transformed by this man.

"I'm a little interested in the bottle of medicine this person took." Of course, he didn't want to drink it himself, but to study it. Maybe it would contain some clues.

Then the master and disciple began to search this underground space.

Zhao Kangping found a broken white porcelain bottle that had fallen to the ground. There was still some residual medicinal liquid on it. Perhaps he could analyze what the ingredients were?

He collected some of the liquid in a glass container.

According to the disciple's description, the real cause of the man's death was probably that the side effects of the medicine began to appear after the effect of the medicine wore off.

It can allow a person to live a life that he shouldn't have, and the side effect might be overdrawing his lifespan.

Not everyone can cheat as easily as the protagonist.

Continuing their search, they found a control room that could open the stone cover of the altar square.

Here, they found more of the man's personal belongings.

Zhao Kangping collected all these things, perhaps there were some clues in them.

He believed that this person dared to do such a thing and must have the support of others behind him.

They didn't use the control room to open the cover on the altar.

During the previous fight, a large hole had been torn in the cover, and they entered the altar hidden under the cover through the hole.

After entering, Luo Xueqing took out the lighting ball.

There were indeed those tied-up boys and girls below.

Unfortunately, the place where the cover collapsed just happened to crush the two unfortunate children, and they were no longer in human form.

For this, Luo Xueqing felt very guilty and thought that she was also responsible for their deaths.

She even started crying.

Zhao Kangping frowned. His eldest disciple was good in every way except that he was soft-hearted, even a little saintly.

The word "Virgin Mary" is not a nice word to him.

He took the opportunity to teach them: "It's not your fault. If you hadn't come, these people might have died."

Luo Xueqing thought it made sense, but she still felt a little guilty.

I have been very careful not to damage the venue here, but it still caused unnecessary casualties.

But she also knew what was important and decided to rescue these young boys and girls right now.

There are dozens of young boys and girls here, and the two of them naturally cannot take so many people away.

Zhao Kangping contacted Dongfang Jingrou.

It was already late at night, but Dongfang Jingrou was a workaholic.

She responded very quickly.

About a cup of tea later, Dongfang Jingrou arrived here with more than 20 disciples from Suzaku Hall.

They rescued the victims in batches.

The man's body was then recovered.

After returning to the ground, Luo Xueqing dragged her tired body and handed the unconscious Ouyang Jin to the Ouyang family.

The others were also temporarily placed in the Ouyang family. As for the resettlement expenses of these people, Zhao Kangping said that he had paid for it.

Most of these victims are in a coma and it is unknown when they will wake up, so we will take the initiative to find families whose children have gone missing.

Then Zhao Kangping brought Luo Xueqing, who was still injured, to the City Lord's Mansion and arranged a room for her to rest.

Suzaku Hall is the department in the Holy Land responsible for gathering intelligence.

They soon found information about the mysterious man in the underground space.

It was already one o'clock in the morning, which was two o'clock in the morning in his previous life, but he had no intention of sleeping.

Zhao Kangping was browsing the record crystal handed to him by Dongfang Jingrou in the study of the City Lord's Mansion.

It contained the information he wanted.

The man's name was Wang Xiao, and he was from the Wang family of Chuanliu City. He was the cousin of Wang Ding, whom Zhao Kangping had seen at the He family manor.

The Wang family started out by selling spirit wine, and later expanded their business to include brothels.

The current head of the family, Wang Ding, is actually just a good-for-nothing in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm, while this Wang Xiao is in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

If the heir is chosen based on strength, then Wang Xiao should have a better chance of becoming the head of the family.

However, the Wang family adopted the system of primogeniture.

As the eldest son of the Wang family's eldest branch, Wang Ding naturally has the priority to inherit the position of head of the family.

So even though his cultivation was not high, he still became the head of the family.

Of course, he wasn't completely incompetent to become the head of the family. At least his business acumen was much better than Wang Xiao's. He was the one who spearheaded and developed the family's brothel business.

According to intelligence, Wang Xiao is very ambitious and has always been plotting to become the head of the family.

It just so happened that his wife was from the Su family.

She is from the same family as Su Yan, who bullied Zhao Mengyao in the original novel, and Shao Yang's Taoist partner Su Xianya.

Zhao Kangping's impression of the Su family was that they were a vassal family of the Demon Sect in the early years, and were later saved because of their surrender and donations.

After hundreds of years of whitewashing, they have removed the label of being associated with the Demon Sect.

But in fact, their family secretly circulates a secret magic method that can seize their cultivation qualifications for their own use.

Zhao Kangping had checked the underground altar and found that there was a special formation that could take away other people's cultivation qualifications.

"I suddenly have a plan." Zhao Kangping said after drinking a cup of tea.

At this moment, there were only her and Dongfang Jingrou in the study.

Because the three hundred servants had previously smashed, looted and robbed the City Lord's Mansion, there was no other furniture in the study except a desk and a chair.

So Dongfang Jingrou had no place to sit and could only stand.

But she is a secretary, no, a housekeeper, and she doesn't need to sit in front of the city lord.

The woman did not show much interest, but listened to him quietly with her head lowered.

"Keep an eye on these children captured by Wang Xiao. I see many of them are well-dressed. They must be children from wealthy families."

"There are five major immortal cultivation families in Chuanliu City: the Yang, Wang, Shen, Qiu, and Song families. In addition, there are countless smaller immortal cultivation families in the city."

"These five families are intermarried and closely related to the He family. My plan is to use what Wang Xiao has done to bring down the Wang family."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of interest in Dongfang Jingrou's eyes.

Zhao Kangping continued, "Some of those missing children might be from smaller families. I remember that these families are usually somewhat dependent on others and need to act according to the wishes of the five major families. The conflict between them and the five major families is long-standing. I think we can make a big deal about it."

Dongfang Jingrou was very smart and understood what Zhao Kangping meant immediately.

Since the five major families and the He family have conspired to deal with him, he will definitely not be polite to them.

This is just the beginning.

Dongfang Jingrou saw that the man had his own ideas, and she was happy to see him take on the responsibilities of a city lord.

"I don't think it's enough. If you want to secure your position as city lord, you really have to win over a group of people, but these small families combined are no match for the five major families." She has been the Suzaku for a long time. Although she cannot be said to be good at calculating, she has seen a lot of conspiracies and tricks.

As a staff officer, she is definitely qualified.

Dongfang Jingrou: "You should have heard of the Qianshang Alliance. I think you can try to gain this power."

As the name suggests, this is an alliance composed of many chambers of commerce.

There are countless chambers of commerce, large and small, in the world of immortal cultivation. They are an important part of the world's economic system.

Perhaps the Thousand Merchants Alliance is not as powerful as some holy places or first-class sects, but its influence is something that no force dares to ignore.

"Tell me what you think." Zhao Kangping is good at listening to other people's opinions.

Dongfang Jingrou: "The Thousand Merchants Alliance also has a branch in Chuanliu City, but they are an external force, and the five major families have always been very repulsive to their existence. Because of this, the Thousand Merchants Alliance's activities in Chuanliu City are very limited."

"You should also know how powerful the Qianshang Alliance is outside. Many important figures in the world of immortal cultivation owe favors to the Qianshang Alliance. If they sneeze, the world of immortal cultivation will be shaken."

Zhao Kangping also knew all this.

Because the Thousand Merchants Alliance controls almost every aspect of transactions involving cultivators.

For example, chain stores like Baibao Pavilion, which are spread throughout the world of immortal cultivation, are also members of the Qianshang Alliance. There are many other similar business organizations in the Qianshang Alliance.

In addition to these, what Zhao Kangping cares about is that the young leader of the Qianshang Alliance is a very capable woman who will become Luo Xueqing's benefactor and best friend in the future.

"It's indeed a good idea. After the recent reconstruction of the South City District, few businesses dare to open stores there. Maybe this is an opportunity." Zhao Kangping said, stroking his chin.

……

After discussing with Dongfang Jingrou, Zhao Kangping came to where Luo Xueqing was resting.

The City Lord's Mansion was originally very dirty and messy, so Chief Steward Dongfang hired some menial disciples from the Holy Land to clean it.

It is impossible to clean the huge City Lord's Mansion in just a few hours.

But this is enough, it is just right for Xueqing to rest here.

Luo Xueqing was lying on the bed at this moment. She must have taken a shower, and there was still a faint female body fragrance lingering in the room.

This time she was seriously injured and needed to rest.

Normally, if someone broke into her room, she would definitely notice it immediately and open her eyes.

Maybe she was too weak and didn't wake up immediately.

Zhao Kangping sat down beside the bed and covered her tightly with the quilt.

He checked the injury of the beautiful disciple and found that she was not seriously injured. She would probably recover after a night's rest.

What surprised him was that she actually advanced from the fourth level of Nascent Soul to the fifth level of Nascent Soul.

This is probably one of the cheats for Luo Xueqing as the protagonist.

Every time she experiences a life-threatening crisis, she will experience a burst of energy, temporarily increasing her strength. Furthermore, there is a high probability that her cultivation level will increase after the battle.

He is an indestructible cockroach, and the more he experiences life and death, the stronger he becomes.

He also discovered that his disciple's innate sword body seemed to be more perfect. Perhaps with just a small opportunity, her innate sword body would undergo further transformation.

Looking at his disciple's beautiful sleeping face, he himself felt a little sleepy.

However, in order not to disturb her rest, he quietly stayed by the bed.

Chapter 181: Secret Talk, Encounter [Gentlemen, stop raising it, it's going to die]

Zhao Kangping took Dongfang Jingrou to Wanxiangju in Chuanliu City, the restaurant where he had once taken his two disciples to dinner.

This time he came to find his old friend Xie Guanglin.

The place where they met was in an underground secret room in Wanxiangju.

In order to avoid being discovered, they disguised themselves before coming.

Today, Xie Guanglin happened to be in Wanxiangju.

Xie Guanglin was a short, stocky, middle-aged man. He had practiced cultivation in his early years, but his aptitude was average, and he had only just reached the foundation of cultivation. However, his talent in spiritual cooking was first-rate.

He started out as a small spiritual chef and later opened his own restaurant. His business grew little by little.

Zhao Kangping was also his benefactor, having given him many recipes for condiments, which was one of the main reasons why Wanxiangju became so popular.

But this alone is not enough. Xie Guanglin himself has extraordinary business acumen.

Before coming, Zhao Kangping stated his purpose through the communication jade slip.

But when they actually met, Zhao Kangping did not get straight to the point, but started talking about other things.
