Among so many women, only my uncle can make my master look embarrassed.
"Pia!~"
There was a slap on the second disciple's butt, which was a warning to her.
"Don't call her over, it's all done. Everyone should have a good rest." Zhao Kangping felt a little nervous when he mentioned his senior sister.
He never realized that his senior sister was so perverted.
He really didn't want to recall that dark, endless scene where he was reduced to a tool for cultivation all day long.
Silent all night.
Time quickly turned to the next day, and they left the room in batches. Dongfang Jingrou left first, followed by Zhao Mengyao, and finally Zhao Kangping. After everyone left, about a cup of tea later, the next person came out.
This is also to avoid them appearing to be acting together.
There are still many maids and servants in the mansion. One of them is the city lord, one is the city lord's apprentice, and one is the housekeeper of the mansion. They must be covered up.
To Zhao Kangping's surprise, Bai Qianqian arrived at the City Lord's Mansion early in the morning.
She wasn't looking for him specifically, but was discussing clues about the tumor monster with Dongfang Jingrou. However, Zhao Kangping was also listening nearby.
It was strange. Zhao Kangping had discovered this tumorous monster earlier and was the one who took the initiative to report this information. But she consulted with the housekeeper and then asked him to be present.
This roundabout way is too obvious.
Through Master Bai's narration, they also learned that the person spreading the tumor in the city was a boy disguised as a woman. He was very young, only fourteen or fifteen years old, and his cultivation level was not high, only between the late Foundation Establishment stage and the middle stage of the Golden Core stage.
"How perverted! There are boys who like to wear girls' clothes and dress themselves like little girls." This was the first sentence Dongfang Jingrou said after hearing this.
There are people in this world who like to wear strange clothes, but it is rare to see men wearing women's clothes.
Generally, these people are perverts with special fetishes.
They probably have never heard of modern terms like cross-dresser, transvestite, and male sissy.
However, Zhao Kangping didn't intend to explain to them.
Today's housekeeper wore a bright red and pink, waist-baring, off-the-shoulder palace dress with a low neckline, allowing for a clear view of snow-capped mountains, ravines, and valleys. After being nurtured by the man, her bust and hips seemed fuller and rounder, making her allure to the opposite sex even harder to ignore.
Her outfit was indeed a bit bold, but she had no plans to go out today. Even if she did, she would probably change into conservative clothes.
Noticing that the man next to her was always staring at her, Dongfang Jingrou glanced at him, then turned to Bai Qianqian and said, "Men always have some perverted hobbies, otherwise they are not normal."
Zhao Kangping originally wanted to say that he was not a pervert.
But then I thought, why should I respond to her? Wouldn't that be equivalent to implicitly admitting that she was referring to me?
So he said nothing and pretended not to hear.
After Bai Qianqian complained to her master last time, he didn't seem to do anything to her uncle. He seemed to no longer hide his affair with Aunt Jing, sometimes even flirting in front of her. The master knew all about this, but didn't intervene, tacitly approving it.
Recently, she privately asked her master about his opinion, and she realized that he was quite magnanimous. He even said that it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and that it was his ability to abduct Aunt Jing.
Bai Qianqian had nothing to say and didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
Recovering from her thoughts, Bai Qianqian remembered that she had come here for an important matter. She continued, "This time, we've redrawn his full-length portrait based on more complete information about the suspect, and have had the City Guards post it throughout the city."
"The guards at each city gate have also been strengthened. Even if he wants to escape from the city, it is unlikely."
"As for the secret passages leading out of the city, we have them all under our control. As long as he doesn't have anyone else to help him escape, it will be impossible for him to escape safely."
There was a no-flying rule in Chuanliu City. While this rule was ineffective against some of the top leaders, it still had some binding force on cultivators at or below the Jindan stage. Without the aid of magical weapons, Jindan cultivators generally couldn't fly high enough to be spotted by the guards on the city walls.
If the suspect wants to escape from the city by flying, it is still easy to expose his tracks, giving the strong people in the city the opportunity to track him.
When Junior Brother Bai said this, he must have wanted to discuss with them what could be supplemented and improved.
"It's not enough to just post a wanted poster. Someone needs to patrol the city so that they can report any suspicious persons immediately." Zhao Kangping offered his suggestion.
However, Dongfang Jingrou said, "Many members of the City Guard were implicated in the smuggling case. After a group of them were purged, the remaining personnel may not be able to patrol the entire city. They may not even cover one-third of the urban area."
Zhao Kangping: "Then let the city guard recruit more people. If I remember correctly, a considerable number of the city guards used to be from the five major families and their vassal families. We can take this opportunity to recruit some independent cultivators from the city. However, the recruitment work must be controlled, not just any random person can come in."
He doesn't want to recruit a bunch of good-for-nothings, he wants people who can do the work, preferably people without any previous background.
Dongfang Jingrou: "That's easy, I can arrange it later. But if you want to recruit enough suitable candidates, it will take time."
Zhao Kangping: "It's okay, there's no rush."
They then talked a lot about searching for the suspect.
Finally, Bai Qianqian politely expressed her gratitude to both of them.
Zhao Kangping felt that this niece was not only beautiful but also humble, and did not look like a noble saint from a holy land at all.
Back then, if Lin Ruowei's lineage had become a Saint, they would have had a grand ceremonial guard every time they traveled. Unlike Bai Qianqian, she had come alone on each of her recent trips, without any accompanying personnel.
"Oh, I almost forgot one thing. I will officially succeed the city lord in a few days. When the time comes, I would like to invite Junior Brother Bai to play a few piano pieces to set the mood during the succession ceremony." Zhao Kangping suddenly stood up and talked about this.
If someone else were the city lord, probably no one would have the courage to ask the Holy Maiden of the Holy Land to entertain him.
But Zhao Kangping dared to do that, considering he was the Saint Lord's fellow apprentice and the man behind the scenes. He was not only Bai Qianqian's uncle, but also his master's grandfather. If she wanted to, he could have her call him "Dad." But that was too much of a slap in the face, so let's not talk about it.
In fact, his invitation was quite bold. Chuanliu City was only a vassal city of the Ziyang Holy Land. Logically speaking, the city lord here was inferior to some elders in the Holy Land's Elders Council in terms of status, not to mention the huge gap between his status and that of the Saint Girl.
Such a request is not only bold, but also somewhat presumptuous.
But in terms of master-disciple relationship, he is her uncle and her elder.
After Bai Qianqian thought about it for a moment, she nodded and agreed, "Okay."
"But I have a condition." She is not someone who can be invited by anyone, and even if she wants to help, it has to go through negotiation.
"What conditions?"
"I got some music from Master. Master told me that you wrote it. But I don't understand some parts. Can you teach me?"
After getting the music, Bai Qianqian tried to play it herself, but she found that she always felt something was wrong when she played.
The master also heard her playing and said that her playing was missing something and it felt not as good as what the uncle played in the past.
At first, she thought it was just a psychological effect of her master's fondness for her uncle. However, after playing it several times herself, she also found that some of her playing was not perfect, and she always felt that there might be some mistakes.
So she wanted to ask Zhao Kangping for advice.
The last time she was on the flying boat coming back from Yunze, she tried to talk to Zhao Kangping about music, but he rejected her.
She definitely couldn't let go of such a good opportunity this time.
This was not a difficult task for Zhao Kangping, but he hesitated for a moment.
Back then, he played the piano for only one person, just to make her smile.
But she was gone, and he felt that he would never play the piano for anyone else again.
Bai Qianqian's eyes were earnest, with a glimmer of light in them. She smiled, feeling that this was almost certain.
The corners of Zhao Kangping's mouth twitched, his face slightly bitter, and after a few rasping sounds in his throat, he said, "But I haven't played the piano for a long time, and I'm already very rusty. I'm afraid I can't teach you anything."
Anyone smart could tell that he was trying to refuse.
The girl's lips moved, her almond-shaped eyes widening, a little incredulous that he would refuse. Her expression gradually turned grim, and then she said, "That's a pity."
The implication was also to reject Zhao Kangping's invitation.
……
Shen Qingxuan is worried about his family's current predicament.
In order to preserve the Shen family, he sacrificed many members of the family's side branches.
Although those people are nothing to the core interests of the Shen family, they are also relatives of many people in the family.
Although his actions were beneficial to preserving his family, many people were short-sighted and could not see the meaning behind what he did.
"A man who has no long journey will have immediate worries." This head of the family who knows how to judge the situation did not receive much recognition from his clansmen, and he was worried about this.
Recently, his second brother, Shen Qingdong, seemed to be secretly entangled with the family elders, and he thought he was unaware of it. But Shen Qingxuan was still the head of the family, so it would be difficult for the other party to hide it from him.
Even at this critical juncture, you are still doing such little tricks.
It’s a pity that there are too many short-sighted people in the Shen family.
The family was in great trouble, and instead of thinking about how to overcome the difficulties together, those people were plotting to overthrow him. How ridiculous.
Maybe a lot of people died in the family, which made many people resentful, but they had to vent their resentment on the right people. Why did they all make him worry?
"Squeak~"
At this time, someone pushed the door open without knocking.
"You bastard. Why did you come in without informing the servants?" Shen Qingxuan saw clearly who was coming. It was his fourth son Shen Xingliang.
Shen Xingliang was the least promising of all his children, and he was the only one who had not entered the holy land.
Normally he was somewhat doting on his fourth son, Shen Xingliang, but he was in a bad mood now and could not maintain a good attitude towards Shen Xingliang.
At this time, Shen Qingxuan saw bloodstains on his son's clothes, and he suddenly stood up and strode towards his son.
"Xingliang, what's wrong with you?" He noticed that his son's expression was a little dull, as if he had been bullied.
He is still the head of the family. If anyone dares to bully his son, he will be the one to punish him. If anyone else dares to touch his son, he will punish them severely.
However, in the face of his father's concern, Shen Xingliang remained silent.
As his son approached, Shen Qingxuan smelled a strong smell of blood.
He grabbed his son's shoulders, wanting to check what was going on with him.
Just as Shen Qingxuan's hand touched his son, something unexpected happened.
Shen Xingliang's left chest suddenly bulged, and the thing inside tore open his clothes on his chest at lightning speed.
A fist-sized tumor with spiky tentacles emerged and hit Shen Qingxuan's chest like a cannonball.
Shen Qingxuan was completely unprepared for his son. He was hit without warning and fell backwards, hitting the wall.
He felt like he had been hit hard and his body was about to fall apart.
After the strange tumor emerged from Shen Xingliang's chest, he fell weakly to the ground and did not move.
As a father, he didn't even check his own injuries immediately, but rushed to his son.
But not long after he came to his son's side, he found something wrong.
Shen Xingliang was already cold and shrunken, with more than half of his blood already lost. He was already dead.
However, this is even more unbelievable. How could a dead person walk in front of him?
At this moment, he felt a dull pain in the place where he had just been punched. He looked down and saw a beating tumor in his chest.
The thorny tentacles on the tumor had penetrated deeply into his flesh.
The strange tumor was merging with his flesh and blood at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What the hell is this?" He realized it was too late.
Chapter 327: Confession for Her
Shen Qingxuan tried to tear off the tumor on his chest, but it had already merged with his flesh and blood.
Every pull was a piercing pain, and he could even feel the barbed tentacles piercing his heart. If he pulled any harder, he would probably dig his heart out.
Then he felt an overwhelming force rushing into his blood vessels, increasing his strength to a higher level.
This unfamiliar power activated the manic factor in his body, and his eyes gradually filled with a bloodshot color similar to that of a mad beast. His rationality as a human gradually lost itself, and finally, bloodthirsty fanaticism took over.
"Ah!~~"
A deafening howl came from his mouth.
The loud noise was enough to resound throughout the Shen family, and the violent sound waves even tore apart the houses and walls within thirty feet of him.
The house where the owner lived collapsed and became ruins in an instant.
"what happened?"
"The head of the family has been attacked, come quickly."
"What it is?"
As the head of a large family, he must have numerous defensive forces. However, this sudden shock caused massive damage to the courtyard where the head of the family was located. Countless guards responsible for security were killed instantly, and several of the priests responsible for protecting the head of the family suffered serious injuries.
The Shen family who arrived later saw a humanoid monster walking upright in the ruins.
