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

Mei Ruoxue frowned and said, "I'll tell you. It's like this. There's a shadow stone in the lantern."

As she spoke, she handed the photo stone to Zhao Kangping.

After he took it, he injected a trace of spiritual power into it.

Then, the image of a young man appeared in front of him. It was Wang Tingyue whom he had met before.

"Lord City Lord, first of all, I must thank you on behalf of the Second Branch of the Wang Family. Your ability to place the token in the lantern represents your willingness to cooperate with us."

"Then I won't hide it from you. When my father was still alive, he had already thought of a way out for our second branch..."

According to Wang Tingyue's account, Wang Xiao had a property he had purchased years earlier in a place called Qingfeng Town, east of Chuanliu City. Now, all the members of the Second House were hiding there.

No one in the other branches of the Wang family knows about this property, so it is safe for the time being.

Wang Tingyue revealed that the Wang family had collaborated with several other families in many scandalous activities, one of which, if exposed, would be enough to shake the foundations of these families.

That is, several of their families secretly smuggled some elixirs, talismans and other supplies from the holy land to Central Continent, or to the Northern and Southern Regions for resale.

As mentioned before, Ziyang Holy Land has many affiliated forces. These forces regularly pay tribute to Ziyang Holy Land with elixirs, talismans, magical instruments, and other items.

These supplies will pass through the transit station of Chuanliu City.

These major families secretly united together, withheld a considerable portion of this tribute, and then sold it to other domains.

As for the final destination of the supplies, they don't care at all.

Intelligence reports say that the largest buyer in the Southern Region is the Yuhua Holy Land.

This behavior is already aiding the enemy.

In the past, when the relationship between Zi Yang Holy Land and Yu Hua Holy Land was still so-so, such things were just turned a blind eye.

Now that the relationship between the two sides has deteriorated, their smuggling activities have not stopped. This is definitely a major event that is enough to bring them a devastating disaster.

After reading all the contents of the photo stone, Zhao Kangping was furious for a moment: "How dare they! They are truly fearless. Even having the support of the Supreme Elder is no excuse for them to act recklessly."

"Once this matter is confirmed, I'm afraid that old woman won't be able to protect them."

Zhao Kangping paced back and forth holding the photo stone in his hand, his brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" (Chuan) character.

He said to Dongfang Jingrou, "Go and inform the Saint Lady about this matter. She is now in charge of Suzaku Hall."

"I'll tell Senior Sister in person."

"We must find Wang Tingyue and the others as soon as possible, and prevent the evidence in his hands from being found by others first."

This is a good opportunity to bring down the five major families.

Chapter 285 Lan Ruoyu and Xiaoyue

"White geese, colorful geese, line up in a long line, go to the creek. Shake their heads, wag their tails, flap their wings and swim across the river."

A few children sang nursery rhymes and chased and played on the old cobblestone road.

On a somewhat dilapidated street in a small town, the cool evening breeze blew, blowing up the dead leaves on the roadside.

A somewhat sloppy, disheveled woman was sorting out dozens of talismans on the stall.

Not long after arriving in the town, the woman bought a simple old house and made a living selling yellow talismans to ward off evil spirits.

At first, the townspeople thought she was a liar and no one cared about her business.

It wasn't until Mr. Luo's house in the east of the town was haunted that the ghosts stopped after he bought talismans from her house.

So, many townspeople bought talismans from her in order to pray for peace.

As a result, the number of strange things happening in the town has decreased significantly.

Just as the woman was about to finish her stall, another woman walked past her and stopped right in front of her stall. She seemed to be sizing up the talisman seller and didn't show any intention of leaving.

The woman selling talismans didn't look up. She said impatiently, "Closing the stall, closing the stall. If you want to buy talisman paper, come early tomorrow."

But the other party did not answer her, just stood there staring at her.

Even though they didn't make eye contact, the talisman seller noticed the woman's gaze.

The talisman-selling woman paused in her movements. She was not slow in the moment and had already sensed something was wrong.

As her gaze moved upwards, she gradually saw the scene in front of her clearly.

Opposite her was a tall and beautiful woman.

The woman had snow-white hair and a flawless face that seemed unreal. Her facial features were delicate and perfectly proportioned, especially her amber eyes, which held a divine beauty.

She was wearing a colorful dress, which was obviously a very flashy outfit, but it did not look tacky at all on her. Instead, it highlighted her beauty.

Beneath the woman's round hips are a pair of slender, straight, beautiful legs, the kind that leg-obsessed people would want to see for years.

If her ears were longer, she would probably look like an elf in some fantasy works.

Even women would be attracted by her beauty.

At this moment, the white-haired woman's eyes were indifferent. She opened her mouth slightly and said in a pleasant voice: "There are fragments on your body too?!"

This is a somewhat confusing sentence. If someone else heard it, they would probably call him crazy.

However, the sloppy woman's pupils shrank immediately.

She immediately understood what the other party was talking about. She subconsciously pressed her slender fingers on the storage ring, ready to fight at any time.

But then he heard the white-haired woman's voice softly say, "Don't be nervous. I'm not trying to take the fragment from you. I'm just giving you a piece of advice. It's best not to carry that thing with you all the time."

"Other people who might find it might not be as polite as I am."

The talisman seller cautiously tried to take out her spirit sword from the storage ring, but found that the ring was blocked by a force and she couldn't use it at all.

Obviously, this is the masterpiece of the mysterious woman in front of him.

"Senior, you are not just telling me this, are you?" Her eyes, hidden by her messy bangs, looked at this beautiful woman who was out of place here.

Who is she?

How could it appear in such a remote town?

This woman seems to have a very high level of cultivation. How come she found me by such a coincidence?

All of a sudden, countless questions flashed through her mind, and she became extremely alert.

"I heard you bought an old house in the south of town. It was the former residence of an old friend of mine..."

"Senior, do you want that house? I can offer it to you." The sloppy woman's voice trembled.

Before Lan Ruoyu could finish her words, she was interrupted by this strange woman.

This woman was indeed a very strange one. Clearly possessing a high level of cultivation and a striking appearance, she deliberately dressed in such a slovenly manner. She also chose to live in seclusion in this remote town. Who knew what her purpose was?

What first caught Lan Ruoyu's attention was that when she saw the woman from a distance, she noticed that she had a powerful aura, unlike that of an ordinary person. When she got closer, she discovered that she had a fragmented aura.

Why did she know about the fragment? Of course, it was because she had one herself.

"No need. I just want to stay there for one night. Is it convenient for you?" Lan Ruoyu said, gathering her hair.

How can this be considered inconvenient? Since you have a high level of cultivation, of course everything will go your way.

After closing her stall, the woman respectfully took Lan Ruoyu to her residence in town.

When Lan Ruoyu walked along the familiar road back to the old house in her memory, memories came to her like a tide.

that year.

Lan Ruoyu came to this small town under the leadership of Nangong Ruyun.

"The child is just over a hundred days old, and Yuzhi is weak. Why does her husband only care about making spirit stones? It's still us sisters who have to come and visit Yuzhi." Nangong Ruyun was filled with resentment when she mentioned Yuzhi's husband.

That man's talent was mediocre and he was not worthy of Yuzhi at all. It was because they had been childhood sweethearts and had grown up together. After Yuzhi's physique was taken away and she became useless, she committed herself to him.

If not for this, Yuzhi would have already flown to the top of the tree and become a phoenix, and would not be trapped in this remote place.

Yuzhi was also stubborn. They all said they could provide her with a lot of resources to live a rich life, but she refused to accept it.

We are sisters, why do we have to distinguish so clearly?

"Don't say anything bad about that person in front of her." Lan Ruoyu said as she was walking behind.

But Nangong Ruyun looked at the road leading to Yuzhi's house and found it was bumpy, with occasional livestock feces on the road, and the air was filled with all kinds of strange smells.

How could Yuzhi, who was used to staying in the caves of immortal mountains, survive in such an environment? It was simply unimaginable.

Yuzhi could get used to it, but Fairy Nangong couldn't.

As she walked along, she felt wronged for her sisters.

From a distance, they both saw Yuzhi walking back and forth at the door holding the baby.

"Yuzhi, why are you so stubborn? I told you to buy a house in the city, but you are not willing to do it. I don't want you to pay it back." The young blue-haired fairy was not as calm as she was later, and at this time she would occasionally act careless.

"Goodbye. I don't want to be a burden to you. I've thought it through. Maybe this is my fate." Jiang Yuzhi once believed that man can conquer nature, but now she has experienced many hardships outside and no longer has the sharpness of her early years.

Jiang Yuzhi was born in poverty, but was extremely lucky to have awakened a very rare special physique.

She originally thought that after joining the immortal sect, she could rise to prominence through her own efforts.

However, reality gave her a loud slap in the face.

She was a poor woman with no background or status, but with that special physique, she was like a child walking around the city with gold in his hands.

Just because she stole the limelight from the daughter of an elder in the same sect, she was hated by others.

The key point is that Jiang Yuzhi is competing with her for the position of Saint, which is intolerable.

"Oh, I really want to go up the mountain for you and kill that father and daughter." Fairy Nangong felt aggrieved and wanted to stand up for her sister.

However, she couldn't do it at this time because the elder was stronger than she was at that time.

Lan Ruoyu also comforted her, "At least Yuzhi is still alive. Let's just live our lives well for now."

"Speaking of this, this house is too shabby. When will your man let you live in a new home?" As the eldest of three sisters, Nangong Ruyun is very concerned about her life.

She wanted to buy a new house for her sister, but she refused to accept it, which made her very worried.

Jiang Yuzhi's face darkened, but she still said stubbornly, "It's almost there, almost there. He said that if he saves up some more spirit stones, he can buy a bigger house in the market. Then, our family of three can live together, and he won't have to travel back and forth anymore."

In fact, the situation was not as optimistic as she said. They belonged to a low-level family of independent cultivators, and it was not easy for them to mix in the circle of cultivators.

"I almost forgot, I still have to cook and send food to him later. Sisters, can you help me look after the child?"

"Come here, let me hold you." Nangong Ruyun took the initiative to step forward and took the baby from Yuzhi's hands.

This little guy is quite well-behaved. He doesn't cry even when his aunt holds him.

Jiang Yuzhi hurried back to the house and said before entering: "My two sisters, please eat with me."

Nangong Ruyun: "Okay, okay."

Lan Ruoyu: "No need, we are all fasting."

They spoke almost at the same time, yet the two women gave completely different answers.

Yuzhi smiled and said, "Then I'll make one for Sister Yun, and Sister Yu can stay there and watch us eat." After that, she went into the house by herself.

Nangong Ruyun teased the baby in her arms. The baby, only a hundred days old, was very cute. She stretched out one of her slender jade fingers, and the little guy grabbed it with his pink little hand.

The baby's hands were soft, and they rested on her fingers, giving her only a slight touch.

"The child is so cute, do you want to play with him too?" The blue-haired fairy seemed to like the child very much.

Lan Ruoyu was not as loving as she was. She said, "Children are too troublesome." But when her beautiful amber eyes looked at the baby boy, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up, revealing a pair of shallow dimples.

"Is there no way to solve Yuzhi's situation?" Lan Ruoyu said with some disappointment.

At that time, Jiang Yuzhi's special physique was taken away, her foundation was damaged, and her realm had been slowly falling. She might never be able to cultivate back to her original realm in her lifetime.

At the beginning, their vision and abilities were limited, and they were unable to help Yuzhi at all. Revenge seemed a distant prospect for them.

This made them all feel helpless.

However, Yuzhi always forced herself to smile and never mentioned the hopelessness of her future path to immortality.

……

Lan Ruoyu looked at the trees along the road, the harvested rice paddies in the distance, and the mountains at the end of the horizon. Everything was still the same as before, nothing had changed.

The old house before me was even more dilapidated, though one could still vaguely see traces of its past. However, there were many more traces of repairs on the house, which were the marks left by the years.

The house was still as small as I remembered, divided only into an inner room and an outer room.
