Seeing that the giant snake did not close its mouth immediately, Luo Xueqing hesitated for a moment, but still followed her master's steps and entered the snake's mouth.

They felt like they had entered a deep tunnel and were soon plunged into darkness.

Zhao Kangping snapped his fingers and released a ball of spiritual light, illuminating the dark belly of the snake.

The two walked inside the huge snake body for a long time and finally stopped in an open area.

After reuniting with Zhao Kangping, Luo Xueqing asked, "Is this Bai Yi's stomach?"

"That should be it." Zhao Kangping looked at the squirming flesh wall and the rolling "water surface" below.

After a while of earth-shaking, they all heard a loud noise.

They could feel the huge snake body constantly swinging and changing direction.

"Master, how could you be so brave as to just dive into her belly without even thinking?"

"White Clothes won't harm us."

"Well, I hope my fears are unnecessary."

Neither of them spoke through words.

Wan Baiyi could hear their conversation.

But the more she could hear the man's trust in her, the more guilty she felt.

He believed in himself so much, yet she wanted to kill him.

He even planned to develop feelings for him first, let them fall in love with each other, and then kill him.

Only when you are truly sincere can you kill the one you love.

Because love is the most passionate emotion in the world, only those who can despise this emotion can achieve true ruthlessness.

Shangguan Xueyi wanted to practice the kind of martial arts that did not recognize any relatives, but she wanted her to experience the ruthlessness.

Then Shangguan Xueyi relied on memory sharing to pick peaches.

What on earth is this?

Inside the snake's belly, the master and disciple continued chatting to pass the time.

Zhao Kangping always felt like he was riding a flesh-and-blood subway, but the snake was much bigger than the subway.

The spiritual sense he sent out could sense the white snake transformed by Wan Baiyi moving quickly underground.

Her speed was many times faster than the flying boat she had used before.

About half an hour later, they both heard Wan Baiyi's voice.

"We're outside of Chuanliu City, please come out."

Upon hearing this, they followed the same path they came in and exited through the white snake's mouth.

Then the huge white snake continued to shrink and slowly turned back into the appearance of a young girl.

Zhao Kangping looked around and found that they were indeed in the mountains and forests outside Chuanliu City.

He was a little bit unbelievable.

It took several hours to get there, but only half an hour to get back. That's too fast.

This also shows that Wan Baiyi's strength is even stronger than he imagined.

Luo Xueqing was very happy. She looked at Chuanliu City and said, "It's so fast! This saves a lot of trouble."

"I just don't know if anything happened in the city while I was away?" Zhao Kangping said.

"Why don't we go back and take a look and find out? Besides, nothing should happen in these two or three days." Luo Xueqing said.

The master and the disciple flew towards Chuanliu City.

However, after flying for a while, Zhao Kangping found something wrong. He looked back and saw that Wan Baiyi did not follow him, but was standing still without moving.

He didn't quite understand what was going on, so he turned around and went back to the snake demon girl.

The girl seemed depressed.

Zhao Kangping was even more confused. He found that he really cared less about the girl recently.

"What's wrong with you?" He touched the back of the girl's head.

The girl pursed her lips, opened and closed her mouth, wanting to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, she still didn't speak.

"Wuwuwu~~~~" She said nothing, but just responded with unstoppable crying.

Chapter 220 Why are you so nice to me?

The girl's crying made Zhao Kangping completely confused.

He had no idea why she was crying?

The first thing that came to his mind was that he might not have played with her much during the past two days, which made her feel lonely.

"Don't cry, don't cry. Who made you unhappy?" Although he had taken care of two girls before, he didn't think he knew how to coax girls.

The girl continued crying, showing no sign of stopping.

Zhao Kangping thought for a moment and said, "How about I take you out for a feast?"

Perhaps this sentence had some effect, and the girl really stopped crying.

Although tears were still on her pretty face, she looked even more pitiful and fragile.

People who don’t know her probably can’t connect her with the white snake as big as a mountain.

Zhao Kangping wiped the tears from her face with his sleeve, then gently pinched her tender little face and said, "I still like to see you smile. Can you smile again?"

Wan Baiyi hesitated for about a second. Her emotions had not yet calmed down, but she still forced herself to make an expression that looked like she was half crying and half laughing.

To be honest, it's a bit funny, but also adorable.

After calming her down, the two flew towards Chuanliu City together. On the way, they met Luo Xueqing who had stopped and waited for them.

After they met up, they went to the downtown area of ​​the city first. He fulfilled his promise and prepared to buy a lot of food for Wan Baiyi.

Passing by a roast chicken shop, Wan Baiyi couldn't move at all. Her big watery eyes stared at the roast chicken in the shop, and her saliva flowed unconsciously.

"Do you want to eat?" Zhao Kangping asked.

Wan Baiyi nodded.

Zhao Kangping said to the store manager, "Boss, give me ten, no, twenty. Pack them all up for me."

The store manager was an old man with gray hair and beard. He rarely encountered such a big business, so he smiled and said, "Sir, I don't have that much roast chicken in my store at the moment. You will have to wait a while for it to be made."

Zhao Kangping waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I can wait as long as it takes."

He glanced at the price tag and saw that it was priced in mortal copper coins. He made a rough estimate and tossed a few spirit stones to the store manager, saying, "No need to change."

Immediately, the store manager's eyes widened. These spirit stones were worth a lot of money if converted into mortal currency. He might not be able to earn that much even if he worked hard for several months.

The old man became more polite: "Thank you, Master. I will make it for you right away."

Originally, the people who made the roast chicken in the store were helpers hired by the store manager.

It was a rare occasion to meet a big customer, so the store manager was worried about the assistant's skills, so he took charge of the work himself.

Wan Baiyi's eyes sparkled, and she said excitedly, "Twenty, Master is so great."

After waiting for a long time, the twenty roast chickens were finally ready. Zhao Kangping handed them to Wan Baiyi and asked her to put them in the storage ring. By the way, this storage ring was also bought for her by Zhao Kangping.

After leaving the roast chicken shop, Zhao Kangping wanted to buy something else, but Wan Baiyi just wanted to eat the roast chicken and didn't need to buy anything else.

Then they returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as they returned to the mansion, a maid immediately told Zhao Kangping that Dongfang Jingrou wanted to see him.

"Did something happen?" He knew very well that Manager Dongfang was a workaholic and that people usually came to him for important matters.

Then he said goodbye to Luo Xueqing and Wan Baiyi and came to the study where Dongfang Jingrou was.

It had only been two days since they last met, but when he saw Dongfang Jingrou again, he was also amazed by the woman's outfit.

She was wearing a slim-fitting long dress today, but her proud bust weighed heavily on the desk, making it impossible to ignore it.

The woman was reviewing documents carefully. Even when she heard someone approaching the room, she did not immediately look up.

I have to say, when she sits down quietly, she looks quite quiet and dignified. If she could wear an office lady's uniform, she would look more like a secretary.

Dongfang Jingrou only noticed him when he got closer, and was slightly surprised when she looked up at him.

But she immediately restrained her expression and returned to her usual indifference.

"You're back." She said calmly.

She thought he would take the opportunity to play outside for a few more days, but he came back so soon.

Zhao Kangping asked, "I heard you were looking for me. Did something happen?"

This sentence reminded Dongfang Jingrou. She stood up from her seat and said, "Do you still remember contacting me on the day you went out?"

She said that they were attacked by a killer when they went out. At that time, he did communicate with her using the communication jade slip and told her the approximate location.

At that time, Suzaku Hall sent several disciples, led by Master Suzaku's trusted confidant, to go there.

There they found the place where Luo Xueqing fought with the killer, and also found the killer's body.

From Dongfang Jingrou's narration, Zhao Kangping learned that they had found a lot of important evidence from the killer's storage ring.

For example, a photo stone recorded the conversation between the killer and someone from the He family.

They were discussing the conspiracy against Zhao Kangping.

The meeting place seemed to be in an inn, and it was the killer that the man from the He family came to find.

This photo stone should have been secretly placed by the killer to ensure that the employer would cooperate honestly.

During their conversation, they also mentioned that the He family and the five major families did not want Zhao Kangping to be the city lord.

The killer was hired by several families together, but only the He family sent a representative.

The representative of the He family is named He Jintong, the eldest son of the former city lord He Weiyuan.

Their Suzaku Hall also sent people to search the inn in the Photo Stone. After a thorough investigation, they actually found it. They also verified the visit records of He Jintong and the killer there.

With this photo stone, we can directly prove that the He family was involved in the assassination of Zhao Kangping.

As for the five major families, they didn't send anyone, so there's no proof of their involvement. Although He Jintong claimed they also contributed money, that was just his one-sided statement and couldn't constitute direct evidence.

This photo stone is important evidence.

Based on this, they can investigate the He family.

They planned to arrest He Jintong and interrogate him.

There are hundreds of ways in Suzaku's dark prison to pry open the hardest mouth in the world.

However, that was the He family, which had a connection with the family of the Supreme Elder, so Dongfang Jingrou did not dare to make the decision on her own.

In fact, she could have reported directly to the Purple Yang Saint Lord Mu Wanyi, bypassing Zhao Kangping.

But doing so is undoubtedly an act of usurpation.

After much deliberation, she decided to wait for Zhao Kangping to come back before making a decision.

After Dongfang Jingrou finished speaking, she asked him for his opinion.

Zhao Kangping replied, "Just arrest He Jintong directly. If anyone in the He family resists, arrest them as well."

Dongfang Jingrou: "The current evidence cannot prove that He Jintong represents the entire He family. He is the only one who appears in the photo stone, and he didn't even bring his personal escort when he met with the assassin privately."

"I'm worried that the He family will sacrifice the rook to save the king. Shouldn't they play it safe and just arrest He Jintong?"

The new city lord is about to take office. If there is too much noise, it may have an adverse impact on Zhao Kangping.

But Zhao Kangping said nonchalantly, "How can I establish my authority if I'm afraid of this and that? If I'm not a little ruthless, am I going to let those people ride on my head and shit on me?"

Zhao Kangping has the support of Senior Sister Saint Lord behind him, so he will not be timid.

"Is there any other evidence in the killer's storage ring?" Zhao Kangping continued to ask.

"There is also a spiritual card issued from Hui'an Money House. This is the deposit that He Jintong gave to the killer. We found out that this spiritual card was originally under the name of He Jintong." Dongfang Jingrou said.

The spiritual card is similar to the bank card in the previous life, but it contains spiritual stones of large denominations.
