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

Zhao Kangping took one look at Ding Zhen and determined that the woman's purpose was not simple.

Well, actually he knew some of the situation because he had read the original novel.

During this period, Qin Lingxuan should still be competing with Huang Tingfang for control of the Qianshang Alliance.

Judging from the development of the plot, she can defeat Huang Tingfang even without help from others.

However, the price paid was that the Thousand Merchants Alliance suffered its biggest split since its founding, with more than a dozen investors withdrawing from the alliance, significantly weakening its influence.

"City Lord Zhao is indeed a smart man."

"I asked you two to come here because I want to do me a favor. I am competing with my father's second wife, Madam Huang, for the position of leader. She has many powerful monks supporting her."

"I have an important business dinner tomorrow night. If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely send people to disrupt the party. All you have to do is stay close to me and support me."

Having said this, the woman paused.

Master Zhao Kangping and his disciple also looked at each other.

"Why us? The Zi Yang Holy Land is so far away from here. If you want to invite monks to support you, why don't you find one that is closer?" Zhao Kangping said.

"City Lord Zhao, you may not know that Madam Huang's family, the Huang family, also has a certain influence in Fuxian City and has a wide network of contacts. The nearby sects and other families will give the Huang family some face. However, since you two are far away, you will not be affected by their influence."

"But we can't offend the Huang family for no reason." Zhao Kangping just wanted to come here to attract investment and didn't want to get involved in all these twists and turns.

Then, a brocade box appeared out of thin air in Qin Lingxuan's palm.

"This is a sword spirit fruit that only bears fruit once every thousand years. If a sword cultivator eats it, it will not only improve their understanding of the sword path, but also further transform their special physical qualities related to the sword path."

"This item is special, so it's kept in a specially made box. Please forgive me for not opening it for now, or else the aura inside could leak out and cause disaster."

Upon hearing this, both the master and the disciple were shocked.

This Sword Spirit Fruit is a treasure that many sword cultivators dream of.

It's no longer a question of whether it's worth money.

This fruit absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon and ripens once every thousand years. Once it comes out, it can cause strange phenomena in heaven and earth.

The value of just one of these was enough to exchange for a complete vein of spiritual ore, but generally no one would actually exchange it for spiritual ore.

Because spiritual mines usually have traces that can be traced, people who know how to explore can always find spiritual mines buried deep underground.

However, the Sword Spirit Fruit only grows in places where there are immortals who have ascended and specialize in swordsmanship.

No one has successfully ascended to the Canglan Realm for tens of thousands of years, and it is probably difficult to find a place in the world where the Sword Spirit Fruit grows.

It is said that this fruit contains the sword immortal's lifelong insights into swordsmanship. After taking it, one can gain enlightenment in a very short period of time. If one is lucky, one can even comprehend the swordsmanship skills left behind by the sword immortal.

"Hi!~"

Zhao Kangping took a breath and contributed to global warming.

This fruit must be the only one in the world, and there is no second one.

He looked at Luo Xueqing beside him, and found that his disciple's eyes seemed to be glued to the brocade box, and she seemed unwilling to look away for even a moment.

She is a pure swordsman, so how could this thing not be attractive to her?

From Luo Xueqing's perspective, the brocade box was not an ordinary brocade box. It was surrounded by a colorful glow, and there was a faint sound of swords in the glow. The sharp sword energy coiled around it, as if it could cut through everything in the world.

This is when the box hasn't been opened yet. If the box were really opened, it would cause a huge phenomenon in heaven and earth.

It can be seen that my beloved disciple is very eager for this thing.

No, it shouldn't just be her. Probably all the sword cultivators in the world would want to get it.

After all, that was the lifelong insight of a sword immortal. Which sword cultivator would not be moved?

Needless to say, Luo Xueqing was moved.

Zhao Kangping was indeed afraid of getting into trouble, but if his beloved disciple wanted it, he was willing to take the risk.

In this way, they were persuaded by Qin Lingxuan and were willing to support her at her dinner party tomorrow.

But Zhao Kangping still had doubts. If she just wanted to make friends with them, there was no need to use this rare spiritual fruit.

He had to understand: "Miss Qin, this item is too valuable. Do you really just want us to support you?"

Things really weren't that simple. Qin Lingxuan continued, "You two, actually, not long ago, a project I invested in encountered some problems."

"Well, Master Zhong from the city's Artisan Workshop has developed an upgraded version of the communication jade slip. This magical device can not only send text messages, but can also be used for direct long-distance conversations."

"But the prototype made by Master Zhong was stolen."

"This magical weapon is of epoch-making significance. We must retrieve it. Could you two please lend a hand?"

Qin Lingxuan spoke sincerely. Although she was begging someone, her tone was soft and it was very pleasing to the ears.

Most people would not be able to resist a request from such a delicate beauty.

Zhao Kangping thought to himself, this woman is so calculating. They both came from the Zi Yang Holy Land. With them supporting her, the people on Madam Huang's side would probably be a little more wary.

At the same time, she also asked them to help find the upgraded version of the communication jade slip, which really maximized their value.

Then, they took a fancy to the Sword Spirit Fruit in her hand, which she grasped firmly.

She must have investigated him and Luo Xueqing, and knew that they both had good reputations and would not do such things as killing people and stealing treasures.

That's why I took such a risk to tell them the existence of the Sword Spirit Fruit.

If the monk was a bit greedy, the fruit would definitely be snatched away, and her life might even be in danger.

As for why the magical instrument she was talking about looked so much like a cell phone, it was unlike the previous communication jade slip that could only send text messages and pictures, and could not be used for calls.

If this thing can be popularized, it will indeed be epoch-making.

"Then Miss Qin, can you provide me with some clues? Or take me to the scene?"

"A clue? Oh, I have a portrait of the thief here, please take a look."

As she spoke, Qin Lingxuan unfolded a painting showing a woman with twin ponytails. This female thief was very arrogant, not even wearing a veil or mask, and directly showing her face.

"This person..." Zhao Kangping recognized the person in the painting at a glance. Isn't this the female thief who followed his master last time?!

"Master, she's not..." Luo Xueqing also recognized Yu Luo. She had fought with this female thief before and had some impression of her.

"Eh~ Have you two seen her?" Qin Lingxuan couldn't remain calm anymore. She had originally just been thinking that if more people looked, there would be more hope of finding her.

Who knew I would run into someone who actually knew the person in the painting?

"Indeed, I have seen her, but I don't know where she is." Zhao Kangping scratched his head. He didn't know that Yu Luo also followed Lan Ruoyu to Fuxian City.

"Where has City Lord Zhao seen this woman?" Qin Lingxuan became a little excited, thinking that she had a clue.

"Not Fuxian City, I've seen her in Baishan City before." Zhao Kangping said.

Qin Lingxuan was slightly disappointed when she heard that it was not the female thief she saw in Fuxian City.

"I can find her." Just as Qin Lingxuan sighed secretly, a girl's clear voice broke into her eardrums.

Qin Lingxuan looked towards the moon gate leading to the courtyard and saw a white-haired girl in plain clothes.

The most peculiar thing about this girl is that she has a pair of bright pink eyes.

Wan Baiyi walked over slowly. She coughed and said, "I remember her scent. I can find her."

"Why did you get up? Aren't you injured? You should have a good rest first." Zhao Kangping frowned when he saw the girl get up without permission.

But the girl didn't care. She said, "I'm fine. If the master wants to find her, I can help."

You were injured by the fusion stage, how come you recovered so quickly?

It’s because Master was gentler, your injury is not serious.

Zhao Kangping was a little confused.

"It's okay, I'm fine. If I can help the master, I'm willing to do my best." Wan Baiyi puffed out her chest, looking very confident.

She is a demon, maybe she really has a way to track down Yu Luo.

Wait, she said she remembered the smell of the female thief, could it be that they had seen her before?

Considering that his master had fought with her before, he guessed that she might have really seen that girl.

"Okay, then you lead the way for me." Zhao Kangping took Wan Baiyi's hand and was about to go out.

But the moment Luo Xueqing saw them holding hands, she felt a surge of jealousy in her heart. She ran forward and said, "I want to go too."

"You'd better stay here. You were injured yesterday and need to rest. Who knows what will happen tomorrow."

Zhao Kangping felt he might face his master again, though he knew she wouldn't actually harm him. She suspected her master was involved in the theft of the magical instrument, and he wanted to ask her what she was up to.

Some topics are not suitable for too many people to be present.

If possible, he would let Wan Baiyi take shelter temporarily while he negotiates with her.

"Okay then." Luo Xueqing didn't force it.

……

With Wan Baiyi's help, Zhao Kangping really found Lan Ruoyu and the others very quickly.

It was unbelievable. If he hadn't known the girl was a snake demon, he would have suspected she was a dog demon. Her sense of smell was so sharp that she could find it from such a long distance.

"Hide first." Zhao Kangping ordered.

Before leaving, he was a little worried and asked, "Are you really okay with your injury?"

Wan Baiyi smiled happily and said, "It's okay. Master, are you concerned about me?"

In fact, for her, that little injury was nothing. She had an amazing recovery ability and she recovered almost completely in no time.

"Master, please go up quickly, otherwise they will run away."

"Okay, stay away for now."

Only after Wan Baiyi ran away did Zhao Kangping feel at ease to go look for the two women.

They had caused such a commotion in Fuxian City, yet they hadn't even fled. Lan Ruoyu was at the Fusion Stage, so no one in the city dared to provoke her.

But the ponytailed girl's behavior was somewhat confusing. She seemed to be only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, yet she dared to wander around the city.

As he was walking towards this place, he saw a large crowd gathered around the site of the previous battle. Even the Ye family's ancestor, who had been in seclusion for many years, had come to investigate. That Ye family ancestor was at the Nascent Soul stage, but compared to Lan Ruoyu, he was likely just a small fry.

Lan Ruoyu and Yu Luo were in a vegetable market.

They were actually buying fruit, and lots of carrots.

Well, actually, they were all bought by Yu Luo.

When Zhao Kangping arrived, Yu Luo was putting carrots into her storage ring, and she had one in her mouth.

Lan Ruoyu noticed him almost as soon as he appeared. It was only after he came closer that she looked towards him.

"What are you doing here?" Lan Ruoyu looked as if she didn't want to see him.

When Yu Luo saw him, she was like seeing a ghost. The radish in her hand fell to the ground and she hurriedly hid behind Lan Ruoyu.

"You don't seem in a hurry to leave?"

"This has nothing to do with you. I advise you to leave early to avoid getting into trouble."

It seemed as if the former master and disciple could never go back to the way they were before; they couldn't even sit down and talk properly.

Woman, you are so arrogant. If you were not my ex-girlfriend whom I had spent many years with, I would have slapped you in the face.

However, Mr. Zhao only dared to think about the above in his mind.

Zhao Kangping was very curious about why she came to Fuxian City. It was impossible that she came just to steal the fruits of the labor of the Craftsman's Workshop.

Chapter 204: Encountering a Crossdresser

"Is the theft of the magical weapon from the Artisan's Workshop related to you?"

Zhao Kangping did not give up. He wanted to ask something from her.

Hearing this, Yu Luo shrank her neck and hid completely behind Lan Ruoyu.

Zhao Kangping saw everything Yu Luo did.
