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

It’s not like I haven’t seen it before.

The first time they had sex was in the bathing pool at Sunv Peak of Wanghe Sect.

A female cultivator of her level was already completely pure and spotless, and didn't need to bathe. However, he knew many female cultivators still bathed, perhaps retaining a habit from their mortal days, perhaps simply to scent themselves with petals or spices to make them smell better.

The housekeeper must be the latter, as he saw petals of various colors and more than a dozen spices in the bucket of water. He could smell the fragrance just from standing not far away.

Dongfang Jingrou was quite popular in Suzaku Hall. When she asked the girl named Yanqing, she replied almost immediately.

"During this period, the Suzaku Hall is short on manpower due to the confiscation of the properties of the large families involved and the arrest of related criminals. There is really no spare manpower to investigate this matter." After taking a look at Yan Qing's reply, the secretary said.

There were too many people involved in the smuggling case, and not all of them surrendered. A significant number of them fled after getting wind of the situation. Catching these individuals consumed a significant amount of Suzaku Hall's manpower.

This was indeed helpless, and the matter over there was indeed urgent. Zhao Kangping could not find any fault with it.

"I almost forgot that the City Guards can also be used to investigate this matter. Then why didn't the City Guards commander come to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for an audience?" Zhao Kangping met the City Guards on the street a few days ago, and asked someone who should be the team leader to pass a message to their commander.

"I remember this. The original commander of the city guard was from one of the five major families. He was also involved in the tribute smuggling case and has been investigated and prosecuted. Now the city guard is leaderless, and the position of commander is still vacant." Dongfang Jingrou said.

Oh my god, that sounds quite reasonable. Without the cooperation of the city guards, how could so many tributes have been easily transported out of the city?

This cannot be blamed on the city guard commander for not coming to report to the new city lord. It turns out that he had already gone in.

"Then how about this? Send someone to the City Guard headquarters tomorrow and have the highest-ranking officers there come over. I think it's time to recruit this ragtag group."

……

Ziwei Heaven.

Lin Ruowei came before the Grand Elder with a nervous mood.

At this moment, a woman lay on her side on the throne. Her drooping hair seemed to have come to life, growing towards the bottom of the steps.

"Master." Palace Master Lin's lips trembled. Just shouting these two words had exhausted all her strength.

The Supreme Elder has her own intelligence network, so she already knew what Lin Ruowei had gained from this trip.

Those long black hairs that looked like carpets or vines of some plants rushed towards her.

Lin Ruowei closed her eyes. She knew her master was right to be angry. She had messed up after all.

But she didn't feel any pain for a long time, and the punishment she expected did not come.

Even so, she still didn't dare open her beautiful eyes. Her fair cheeks looked even paler, and at this moment her blood seemed to stop flowing.

This swordsman in the Nascent Soul stage was not fearless. In front of Xue Zining, she didn't even dare to breathe heavily.

"Ruo Wei, I spent so much resources to train you and gave you so much luck, which is why you are where you are today."

"But what did you bring me?"

"Back then, I even manipulated the situation and gave you a backdoor in the Saint Maiden selection, and yet you still managed to lose to Mu Wanyi."

"This time, you were facing Zhao Kangping, who had already fallen from grace, and yet you still managed to fail."

"Are your realms just for show? Or am I blind and can't see that you are actually a piece of crap."

When she said the last sentence, Xue Zining's voice was already very close.

Palace Master Lin suddenly opened his eyes and met a pair of purple eyes as deep as the abyss.

At this moment, almost all the pores on Lin Ruowei's body opened up, and her body shivered involuntarily.

She felt an unprecedented pressure, and her master was really angry.

Although the girl in front of her was not as tall as her, her feet were suspended in the air and she had a strong aura. When she appeared in front of her, she still gave her a pressure as if the world was collapsing.

Lin Ruowei didn't dare to make excuses for her failure, because it would only make her more ridiculous.

If the Master imposed any punishment, she would accept it willingly.

It's true that she is arrogant, but when facing her master, she becomes like a cowardly quail.

"Okay, very good, you won't say anything. You really disappoint me."

"I'd like to ask you a few questions."

"Do you know what this treasure is and what it does?"

When Lin Ruowei mentioned the heavenly book, her heart skipped a beat. She clenched her hands, her nails digging into her flesh.

She only saw that it was a book, but she had no idea what its specific functions were. She had never had one, so she had no idea.

The ability to project human consciousness into a virtual world should be one of the abilities of the Heavenly Book.

When she thought of this, she recalled some shameful things she had experienced in that world, and she really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Lin Ruowei told Xue Zining what she knew.

It's just that she didn't know much more than the other person. Moreover, she didn't dare to tell her master about the tragic love she had experienced with Zhao Kangping in the world of the Heavenly Book.

She was afraid that her master would think too much and think that she had an affair with that man.

After listening to Lin Ruowei's story, Xue Zining shook her head.

"How do you want me to punish you?" There was extreme coldness in those deep purple eyes. Just being looked at by them, Lin Ruowei felt a chill to the bone.

Chapter 323 Shangguan Xueyi and Lan Ruoyu

The process of receiving the city guards went smoothly.

There was no leader over there, so Zhao Kangping just sent out the maids in the mansion to scare them.

Don't underestimate the maids in the mansion.

They all came from the Holy Lord Hall and held the dual identities of elite disciples of the Vermillion Bird Hall. This time, they were sent two female cultivators at the Golden Core stage. The city guards were mostly Qi cultivators, with not even a single one at the Foundation Establishment stage.

So the maid who came out of the City Lord's Mansion subdued the city guards.

The city guards said that they sent people from the outer gate of the holy land who were not doing well here to take turns on duty.

In fact, people from the outer sect were not very willing to come here. Because being able to join the Purple Sun Holy Land was a matter of great honor for many cultivators, but if they couldn't make it there and were sent to Chuanliu City as a city guard, that would be very shameful.

Therefore, a long time ago, the number of people coming from the Holy Land decreased. In order to solve this problem, many independent cultivators were recruited from the city to join.

This also led to serious factionalism among these people. The disciples from the holy land looked down on those independent cultivators, and the independent cultivator groups also had bad relations with them.

The tribute smuggling case this time involved the group sent from the Holy Land.

In fact, it was not only the leader himself who was arrested, but also a group of his followers.

As a result, the remaining city guards basically only consisted of those who were independent cultivators.

These people are oppressed on a daily basis and do the roughest and most tiring work, but their wages are often withheld.

Surrendering to the new city lord is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them to turn things around, so how could they not seize it?

Now that they had the dog tags issued by the city lord, they immediately expressed their loyalty.

The first task assigned to them by the city lord was to go to the dock area to investigate the houseboat where the tumorous monster appeared last night.

Before Zhao Kangping left last night, he told everyone on the boat not to leave.

Those people were intimidated by the might of a cultivator at the Spiritual Transformation stage and dared not disobey him, but they cursed him in private. Of course, they were not cursing Zhao Kangping, but cursing those monsters and the owner of the pleasure boat.

There are still some capable people in the city guards, and they actually found out some information.

In addition to some wealthy mortal businessmen, wandering cultivators in the city, and some family members came to the pleasure boat to have fun.

On the surface, this pleasure boat looks similar to other pleasure boats, but it hides a secret inside.

The other pleasure boats were more refined, with geishas selling their art but not their bodies. But this one actually had people partying, just the kind you'd imagine.

This kind of behavior is naturally prohibited in Chuanliu City, but the owner of the pleasure boat and the geishas are basically all dead, so there is no way to pursue the matter.

In addition to this incident, the city guards also discovered that several of the survivors left on the ship had been infected with sarcomas. However, these people had not yet turned into monsters.

After verification, they were all independent cultivators with no known background. According to their accounts, they had all come into contact with a mysterious little girl. Through their descriptions, a portrait of the girl was obtained.

This is a breakthrough in the investigation of the sarcoma monster.

Zhao Kangping quickly got the portrait.

However, this was an ancient-style brush portrait, and he didn't feel optimistic about finding the person with it.

"Is this the person who spread the sarcoma? Why is he so small?" The black hand he imagined should be a mysterious man wearing a black cloak and not allowing others to see his face.

It turned out that this person didn't have any disguise on his face, which was too bold.

"Just because it looks small doesn't necessarily mean it really is. There are too many ways of disguise in the world of immortal cultivation." Dongfang Jingrou reminded.

She was right, some guys who were hundreds of years old liked to act young.

Somehow, Zhao Kangping thought of Junior Sister Xun Qianran from the Medicine King Hall. He had previously asked her to make kidney-strengthening medicine, but since it was no longer needed, he hadn't informed her.

"It's a clue after all. Copy more and post them all over the city." Zhao Kangping decided to offer a reward. This way, as long as the man is still active in the city, he will be exposed eventually.

Then he added, "Is the auction of that tea plantation tomorrow? Go buy it for me and take these spirit stones."

He took out a spiritual card and gave it to the housekeeper. Inside it were his own savings and the money Qin Lingxuan had given him last time. He had handed all his property over to Dongfang Jingrou, which showed his trust in her.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll embezzle the money or lie about the transaction price?" she joked.

"Then can you?" He reached out and pinched her face.

She immediately became serious, then said, "Okay, leave it to me."

Then she started to busy herself with the affairs of the mansion.

Zhao Kangping's succession ceremony is getting closer and closer, and they have a lot of things to do.

Zhao Kangping also planned to visit the holy land to visit people with whom he had a good relationship. He would not send out invitations, as it would be more sincere if he went there in person, and invite them to attend his succession ceremony.

……

Shen House.

After this tribute smuggling incident, the five families had suffered some damage. Although it was not a major blow, it was enough to cause them pain.

Miss Shen Lingzhu doesn't care much about what happens in the family. She just wants to maintain her previous expenses.

However, she also noticed that there were many fewer faces in the Shen Mansion, but the Shen family was wealthy and prosperous, with a large population, so she didn't care much about the missing people.

She was usually moody, and most of the servants around her were very cautious, fearing that something bad would happen if she was unhappy.

Therefore, none of the servants in the Shen Mansion were willing to be assigned to serve her.

A few days ago, several maids around her were found talking about her behind her back and had their tongues pulled out.

She hated it most when people said bad things about her behind her back, and she was already very kind not to take the lives of those maids.

On this day, she practiced a set of sword techniques at home.

After practicing for a while, she stopped to rest.

A maid came up respectfully and handed her a towel.

Shen Lingzhu picked up a towel and wiped the sweat off his face.

She glanced at the new maid and said, "What's your name?"

The maid didn't look up, but said respectfully, "My lady, my name is Yuan'er."

That’s right, this new maid is actually the little boy who has been spreading sarcoma in Chuanliu City recently.

For some reason, Shen Lingzhu always found this pretty little maid quite pleasing to the eye. She hoped she wouldn't make her angry.

"What do you think of my swordsmanship?" Miss Shen said casually.

Shen Lingzhu has been spoiled since she was a child. She is a bit vain and sensitive. She likes to hear people say good things about her, but she doesn't like it when it's too fake.

Yuan'er carefully considered her words and said, "I don't know much about swords, but I personally think that your swordsmanship is definitely among the best among your peers."

This was probably a compliment to himself, but it didn't seem too exaggerated. Shen Lingzhu didn't feel disgusted after hearing it.

She felt that this maid must have never seen the world.

In reality, her level was quite average, and there were many disciples in the Holy Land who were better than her. She simply felt that the Holy Land's cultivation environment was too competitive, and since she couldn't compete with others, she returned to her comfort zone.

But she is full of vanity and loves to hear flattery from others.

Before being sent to Shen Lingzhu, Yuan'er was told many things to pay attention to, and he also knew that he needed to be careful in his words and actions in front of Miss Shen.

……

Zhao Kangping's first stop after arriving at the Holy Land was the large lake near the Fubao Temple. Sure enough, there was a fisherman there, concentrating on fishing.
