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

If she has any fans, she probably does.

But forget about male fans, he will keep out all the opposite sex who have intentions towards her.

"Master, even if we use our full power of escape magic to get to Floating Immortal City, it will take at least six hours using the nearest teleportation array. I think we should set off now."

"I need to talk to Dongfang Jingrou about this. I wonder if there's anything else I can do here?"

Then they went to find Dongfang Jingrou.

However, on the way, the two met Kan Baiyi who was walking towards them.

"Master~" The white-haired girl opened her arms and ran towards Zhao Kangping, as if she wanted to crash into his arms like a human missile.

But Luo Xueqing hurriedly grabbed her master's arm and forcibly pulled him away from Wan Baiyi's path.

When Wan Baiyi rushed over, she completely missed him.

When the girl turned around, she saw Luo Xueqing hugging the man's arm tightly, and that hand was almost stuck in her plump fruit.

Luo Xueqing's behavior was obviously a declaration of sovereignty, and she learned this series of operations from Zhao Mengyao.

The stinky junior sister would often hug the master's arm like this in front of her. When she saw it, she wanted to hit the junior sister, but when she did this herself, she felt secretly happy.

Luo Xueqing didn't know Wan Baiyi's background and was very wary of this woman who suddenly appeared beside her.

"Didn't you say you were a maid? Why don't I see you working in the mansion?" Luo Xueqing always felt that she was suspicious.

She has no cultivation at all, she might be just a mortal.

But how could Master fall in love with a mortal woman?

After all, a mortal woman without cultivation will eventually age. A cultivator of Master's realm would have long been able to maintain eternal youth, so why would he be attracted to this mortal girl?

"Because I am the master's personal maid, responsible for warming the master's bed." Kan Baiyi looked harmless, but she was not afraid of Luo Xueqing's difficulties at all.

"Master is a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he doesn't need to sleep and doesn't need you to warm his bed." In fact, what she really wanted to say was that even if the bed needed to be warmed, she would do it herself and there was no need to arrange for a maid.

Wait, maids are not slaves, they are free, why do they need someone to warm their bed?

For example, the Suzaku maids in the mansion are essentially the secret guards of the Suzaku Hall. They do not belong to the City Lord's Mansion and are hired to do the work.

It was really just a cover. Just as she said, she was actually the woman kept by her master.

But why did the master choose her?

"But the master said that I will be a maid here from now on."

"Master, have you investigated her background?"

Zhao Kangping didn't want them to argue, so he responded, "Well, I do have some connection with her, but it's not convenient to tell you right now. I'll find a suitable opportunity to tell you later."

Luo Xueqing glanced at the white-haired girl next to her. She was born with a fair and clean complexion. If it weren't for her good development in some aspects, one would have mistaken her for a minor just by looking at her harmless baby face.

The girl was about 1.68 meters tall, slightly shorter than Luo Xueqing, but definitely tall among girls.

Just by looking at her appearance, Luo Xueqing concluded that the girl was definitely not from an ordinary family.

Maybe she has some special bloodline, her white hair and pink eyes prove it.

Although her guess was wrong, her guess that the other party was not an ordinary person was not completely wrong.

Wan Baiyi's disguise was so good that it was normal that she couldn't see through it.

"Okay." Although Luo Xueqing was worried about the girl, she thought her master probably had a point. She decided not to delve into the matter further.

Then Luo Xueqing pulled Zhao Kangping and wanted to continue walking out.

But before he had taken a few steps, Wan Baiyi called out to him, "Master, where are you going?"

"We're going to Fuxian City, which is quite far away. You just stay at home and don't go anywhere. We'll be back in a few days."

He treated the girl as his own and did not hide anything from her.

Wan Baiyi didn't say anything about this.

Just like that, the two of them walked away together, leaving the white-haired girl alone.

You don't want me to go?

I have my own way.

……

The master and disciple quickly found Dongfang Jingrou.

"What? You're leaving now? Isn't the party held the day after tomorrow night?" Dongfang Jingrou, a veteran workaholic, was very disgusted with his blatant outing under the pretext of business.

"If you take a flying boat to the nearest city with a teleportation array leading to Floating Immortal City, it will only take a little over three hours. Even if you go there the next morning, you'll still have time."

Zhao Kangping: "Taking a flying boat is not cheap, so we plan to fly there ourselves. Besides, we are going there to attract investment, and we probably won't just talk to the Thousand Merchants Alliance."

"Perhaps those merchants interested in investing in Chuanliu City are the main targets of this trip to Fuxian City."

After the reconstruction of the southern part of Chuanliu City, a lot of work needs to be done, and commercial development is the highlight.

The unrest at the time scared away many businesses, and the place became much more depressed.

If the southern part of the city cannot be made prosperous again, the revival of Chuanliu City will be a failure.

What Zhao Kangping said made some sense, and Dongfang Jingrou couldn't refute it.

His reasons were legitimate, but she casually glanced at Luo Xueqing standing beside her.

The master and disciple were really close to each other. Although they didn't hold hands, she could still see their love from their occasional eye contact.

"Alright, alright, go ahead!" Dongfang Jingrou felt that if she didn't agree, she would seem unreasonable, so she had no choice but to agree. However, her tone inevitably sounded irritable.

Uh, that’s not right. What’s the point even if she doesn’t agree?

He is the city lord. Can she really hold him back and not let him leave?

"Then we'll go first." Zhao Kangping could see that she was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly pulled Luo Xueqing out.

The more Dongfang Jingrou thought about it, the angrier she became. He really did find a good excuse.

In order to vent her dissatisfaction, she picked up the teacup on the table and threw it heavily to the ground.

During this process, some of the warm liquid in the teacup spilled onto my hands.

The tea was just the right temperature to drink without feeling too hot. But the feeling of the hot liquid running through her fingers brought back bad memories.

Her hands couldn't help but tremble, and she felt an inexplicable feeling of nausea in her heart.

She quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it, as if her hands were stained with something dirty, and wiped it hard.

Finally, the water stains on her hands were wiped clean and she felt better.

"Wait, this handkerchief." She was so scared that her hand loosened and the handkerchief fell to the ground.

"It's just a handkerchief, I'll give it to you." The man's words that day seemed to still echo in his ears.

Damn it, she once again remembered the ugly scene of him seeing her crying bitterly.

It had only been a short time since she arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in Chuanliu City, but she felt that her state of mind had been shocked many times.

Although she had changed from a mixed spiritual root to a natural spiritual root, she could not be happy.

Because she found her heart was in turmoil...

After Zhao Kangping and the other two left the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Xueqing suddenly asked, "Master, Chief Steward Dongfang just threw the cup. Is she angry?"

Of course he heard the sound. This woman's temper is really hard to understand.

"She... is probably angry that I don't care about anything. I may not be able to do this as the city lord, but for Senior Sister Saint Lord, I still have to keep the position of city lord."

"Once things in Fuxian City are settled, we'll come back soon. Don't let her wait too long."

Then the master and disciple flew into the sky together and turned into a stream of light.

Not long after they left the city, a pair of eyes in the dark had already set their sights on them.

Chapter 197: Leaving Chuanliu City, Master and Disciple Are Attacked

"Lord Suzaku, we found this kind of poisonous insect in the bodies of those killers." A pretty Suzaku maid reported to Dongfang Jingrou and presented her with a crystal box.

Through the transparent crystal box, she saw a wriggling grayish-white worm.

Ever since the Gu worm crisis broke out in the Holy Land, Suzaku has been cramming a lot of knowledge about Gu worms.

She immediately recognized that this was a mother-child insect, a type of insect that can control its child insects through the mother insect.

"This seems to be the Heart-Eating Mother Gu."

Dongfang Jingrou recalled the introduction about this Gu bit by bit in her mind.

The Heart-Eating Gu, native to southern Xinjiang, infects a person with a child Gu that burrows into their heart. Normally, the child Gu remains relatively quiet, surviving by simply feeding on the host's heart's blood.

Once activated, it will frantically gnaw at the host's heart, causing the host to suffer unbearable pain.

If the host is a cultivator, the sub-parasite that has swallowed a large amount of the host's heart blood and absorbed the essence from the host's body can turn into a bomb.

Can be used to detonate and kill the host.

This kind of Gu is usually used by some demonic sects to control their lower-level members.

Furthermore, the mother Gu holder can monitor the status of her child Gu hosts in real time. If a killer possessing a child Gu shows any signs of betrayal or leaking secrets, this will be detected. This allows the mother Gu holder to remotely trigger the child Gu to kill the host.

However, the mother Gu must be within ten miles of the child Gu to be effective.

At its peak, the Shadow Pavilion was incredibly arrogant, daring to assassinate elders from top-tier sects. Given enough spirit stones, the Shadow Pavilion Master would personally assassinate the masters of these major sects.

Unfortunately, the Shadow Pavilion later offended the wrong people and was wiped out, with its remaining forces fleeing overseas.

During their heyday, they simply disdained to use poisonous insects to control their subordinates. At that time, anyone who joined the Shadow Pavilion and dared to rebel could be easily eliminated.

However, after the decline of the Shadow Pavilion, this method of poisoning was used to prevent the assassins below from betraying them.

They were probably just in case. If the assassin failed and was captured, and revealed information that was detrimental to the Shadow Pavilion, or betrayed their employer, it would shake the Shadow Pavilion's foundation.

"It seems that after the Shadow Pavilion sent out those eight assassins, there must be someone secretly monitoring them... Oh no~" Dongfang Jingrou's mind was working quickly.

She immediately sent a message to Zhao Kangping's communication jade slip.

……

Master Zhao Kangping and his apprentice flew in the sky and had already flown twenty or thirty miles east of Chuanliu City.

Looking down at the earth from a high altitude, they happened to see many armed monks in red clothes lying on the ground in the mountains to the north, and they were all women.

"These seem to be disciples of Suzaku Hall. Is that the place where our master discovered the mineral vein before?" Luo Xueqing recognized that the clothes worn by those female cultivators were of the uniform style of Suzaku Hall.

"That's right. The He family and the five major families are truly audacious. But even so, their families will probably only bleed a little at best. They may not receive the severe punishment they deserve."

Those Suzaku Hall disciples seemed to be searching the mountain, probably looking for someone or something.

Zhao Kangping learned that the five major families had privately built a spirit ore refinery in the mountains to refine spirit stones. However, the location of this spirit ore refinery was very secret, and the purpose of these Suzaku Hall disciples searching the mountains was to find the hidden spirit ore refinery.

The spirit stones that circulate as currency in the world of immortal cultivation are all purified and refined from spirit ores.

The technology for refining spiritual ore is only in the hands of a few monks.

Therefore, the ability and power to cast spirit stones are controlled by several top forces in the world.

The Zi Yang Holy Land has such "right to mint coins". Such behavior of privately "minting coins" is very bad, and it is a slap in the face of the Zi Yang Holy Land.

If these families did not have the support of the Supreme Elders, it would not be surprising for them to have their property confiscated and be expelled from the Holy Land's sphere of influence.

It had to be said that the Grand Elder was a huge burden on him and his senior sister. As long as the old woman was still alive, it would be difficult for them to cleanse the holy land of these termites.

Zhao Kangping and his companions did not stay for long and continued on their journey.

"Master, why don't we go by flying boat?"

"We don't mind the extra time, and if we fly on our own, we can get a better view of the scenery."

"Look at this narrow creek in the mountains, these cascading waterfalls, these lush green trees, these rolling hills—they are all rare and unique sights."

Zhao Kangping felt like he couldn't continue his story. How could he have the nerve to say he wanted to save his spirit stones?

Although Aunt Yun agreed to give him spirit stones for the future succession ceremony, he felt embarrassed to let Aunt Yun pay for it all, so he had to give his share.

So you can save wherever you can.
