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

Hearing this, Mu Wanyi knew that this might take some time. She said with some disappointment, "Oh, he left so fast."

"Master uncle tells you that when he comes back, you must tell me so that we can practice together."

Luo Xueqing of course understood what her uncle was talking about, and her face immediately turned red.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell my uncle." Luo Xueqing was not as excited as her junior sister. She was eager to try it when she heard about practicing.

But practicing with Master was indeed many times faster than when she practiced alone.

So despite feeling ashamed, she was still happy to do it.

……

A little maid in the mansion hurriedly ran to a secluded place. She looked around furtively and took out a communication jade slip after confirming that there was no one there.

Her fingers moved quickly, writing a series of words on it.

The little maid held her breath and was very nervous. In just a moment, her little face was covered with sweat.

When she was almost done writing, with only a few words left, an accident happened.

A woman's slender hand reached out from the side and snatched the communication jade slip from her hand.

The little maid was so frightened that her soul left her body and her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

"Okay, there really is a spy." After reading the above content, a hint of cruelty flashed in Dongfang Jingrou's eyes.

The content on the jade slip was that the little girl was in contact with someone and she revealed the whereabouts of the city lord.

Scrolling through the chat history, there was a lot of news about the mansion, including the fact that not long after Zhao Kangping went out last time, the little maid reported the matter to him.

The last time Zhao Kangping went out, he was blocked by three Jindan cultivators, so he suspected that there might be a traitor in the mansion.

Otherwise, those people would not have been able to be there so punctually.

The housekeeper remembered this girl, Lü Qiulan, who had previously been lame. She had asked a maid in the mansion to cure her leg disease, but she had never known that she would betray her family and become a spy.

Before Zhao Kangping left this time, he gave Dongfang Jingrou some instructions, asking her to pay attention to the people in the mansion.

In the end, she really caught this little girl.

"Someone come here!" Dongfang Jingrou shouted, and two maids ran out from the dark.

Both were Dongfang Jingrou's former subordinates from the Suzaku Hall and the Holy Lord Hall. Their loyalty was guaranteed, and both possessed Golden Core Stage strength. Sending them both to restrain the little girl was a bit of a waste of talent, but it was a safe bet.

Lu Qiulan collapsed on the ground, her legs weak with fear and her whole body trembling.

"Butler Dongfang, I, I had no choice." The girl didn't say a few words before tears began to flow down her face. "The last time I went home to visit my family, they were held hostage by a group of bad guys. They threatened me to be their accomplice or they would kill my family."

This little girl was only thirteen years old and came from a poor family. She was sent to the Ziyang Holy Land to be a menial disciple with great difficulty, but she ended up being bullied and even became lame.

She was also a miserable person, and Dongfang Jingrou originally felt quite sympathetic towards her.

But since she had done something harmful to the city lord, there was no way she could let it go.

However, based on the principle that she still needed to follow the clues and continue the investigation, it was not appropriate to deal with the little girl now.

The housekeeper didn't even bother to see how the little girl cried. She just flicked her sleeves and said, "Take her away and keep her under strict watch. We'll deal with her when the city lord returns."

……

Zhao Kangping received the message from Dongfang Jingrou on the flying boat and learned that there was indeed a traitor in the mansion.

He ordered the housekeeper to check on the other people in the mansion and make sure that the mansion was clean.

He also knew about the little girl's situation, but he didn't know whether what she said was true.

If it is true that her family members were held hostage as a threat, then this girl is not a bad person by nature.

He asked his eldest disciple Luo Xueqing to go to the little girl's hometown to verify the situation. If the situation was true, then he would not be unable to forgive the girl.

To be on the safe side, he asked Dongfang Jingrou to select a few maids with stronger abilities in the mansion to accompany his disciple.

The little girl's communication jade slip was naturally not bought by herself, and she could not afford it with her financial resources.

This thing was given to her by that group of people so that she could pass on messages more easily.

Now that the jade slip fell into Dongfang Jingrou's hands, Zhao Kangping asked the housekeeper to pretend to be the little girl and send false messages to the other party.

This time when he went to Fuxian City, Zhao Kangping went to find Qin Lingxuan again.

The pass to Yunyan Pavilion has to be obtained from her.

The last time he went to that gathering place, he just borrowed it and returned it after use.

However, Qin Lingxuan did not follow this time. After Zhao Kangping had been there once, he knew the place and did not need her to lead the way.

After entering the abandoned village stronghold, he put on the sheep head mask.

There were only seven people attending the rally this time, including him. Three of them had been seen last time, and the remaining three were completely different people.

At this gathering, in addition to Zhao Kangping, a young man among the three unfamiliar people obtained the information he had previously inquired about.

When it was Zhao Kangping's turn, he scanned the scroll containing the intelligence.

When he saw the contents inside, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"After investigating and eliminating many of the suitors of the Tianlan Sect Saintess, we discovered something interesting."

"Among her suitors is a man named He Sheng, who was originally an inner disciple of the Tianlan Sect."

"He works for the Saint of Tianlan Sect, acting as her white glove, doing many shady things for her in secret."

"He disappeared after the Saintess of the Tianlan Sect was killed."

"We found out that he later changed his name to He Chenghua and became the son-in-law of the Xue family in the Ziyang Holy Land."

"After further investigation, we also discovered that He Chenghua was also a member of a mysterious organization called Dark Nest."

Wow, it turns out that Yunyan Pavilion has already discovered the existence of this organization.

I never thought that He Chenghua was also a member of the Dark Nest.

The Dark Nest organization only appeared a few times in the original novel and was not a very powerful force, but it had one characteristic: all of its members were evil cultivators who believed in evil gods.

In fact, the Dark Nest is not a small organization, and its members are quite powerful, but they appear relatively late in the original novel.

In the later part of the story, Lianxu was everywhere, and the big guys in the fusion stage and even the Mahayana stage took part in the battle personally.

Against this backdrop, the Dark Nest seems insignificant.

But if this group of people were placed in the early and middle stages of the story, they would basically be at the level of big bosses.

The intelligence also said that He Chenghua had a natural earth spirit root and was good at using sand to create clones.

Seeing this, Zhao Kangping also understood that the masked man was actually just the incarnation of the He family's son-in-law.

The next piece of information was that the missing Jianya Palace disciples he wanted to track down were indeed still alive.

They were arranged to go to Xishan City to hide.

Xishan City is the easternmost city under the jurisdiction of the Ziyang Holy Land, and it is completely controlled by the aristocratic family faction.

I heard from my senior sister that she had tried to place her own people in Xishan City before, but they were all eliminated later.

When it came to gathering intelligence, the other two people each submitted their own requests, and they could both provide Yunyan Pavilion with what it needed.

After that, it’s time to sell the stolen goods.

Zhao Kangping took out the body-refining medicine he got from the three gods he killed last time.

Because Dongfang Jingrou was also a physical cultivator, she recognized this kind of medicine, which was called Flame Scale Marrow Fluid.

It is made from the essence, blood and body fluids of three fire-attributed reptilian monsters, supplemented with the juice of various spiritual herbs.

This is a fourth-level body-refining medicine liquid, which is just right for cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, and it also has some effect on cultivators in the Spiritual Transformation stage.

Its main function is to enhance the body's resistance to fire damage, and it can also temper the body.

Not only can physical cultivators use it, but some cultivators who stay in the furnace room all year round or engage in blacksmithing can also use it.

To Zhao Kangping's surprise, after being appraised by the skull, this thing could be auctioned at a starting price of 500 high-quality spirit stones.

He himself expected that he would be lucky to have two hundred high-grade spirit stones.

Among the people present, a strong middle-aged man and the young man both showed interest in it.

However, both of them were relatively restrained in their bidding, and in the end, the young man got it for 860 high-quality spirit stones.

After deducting half of it for Yunyan Pavilion, Zhao Kangping can still earn 430 high-quality spirit stones.

After the trade fair, Zhao Kangping was taken to a secret room by Gu Qingyan.

There is a teleportation array in this secret room. Zhao Kangping knows that by passing through it, he can reach the headquarters of Yunyan Pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist Xiyangyang, the information you provided last time was indeed true."

"To be honest with you, the person who was poisoned was my daughter. You saved her, and our Yunyan Pavilion will definitely reward you generously."

At this time, Gu Qingyan still appeared as a charming woman. Zhao Kangping knew that her actual appearance was even more beautiful than what she saw now.

However, the other party doesn't believe in himself yet, so it's normal to pretend a little.

"What is this?" Zhao Kangping pointed at the teleportation array, pretending not to know her intention.

If he appeared too calm, it would be abnormal.

"It's like this. My daughter is at the headquarters right now, and she wants to thank you in person."

"In that case, please lead the way, fellow Daoist."

Zhao Kangping did not refuse and agreed to go together.

Chapter 383 Why Do These Women Want to Be Concubines?

The headquarters of Yunyan Pavilion is located in a secluded valley, where trees are evergreen, flowers and plants are flourishing, and the air is filled with spiritual energy.

But when Zhao Kangping was brought here, he took an underground passage and definitely could not see the scenery in the valley.

On the way here, he met an acquaintance, the woman wearing the cat mask.

This time she changed into a neat dress, which made her look less rustic, but her hair was still messy, making her look like the bereaved girl in her previous life.

Zhao Kangping saw the eye sockets of the woman's mask and a flash of fear appeared in her eyes.

However, Zhao Kangping did not greet her when he passed by her.

After putting some distance between them and the little cat, Gu Qingyan said, "Daoist Little Cat is now a guest of our Yunyan Pavilion."

"She has a strange personality. She doesn't want to take off her mask and doesn't like to communicate with others."

After all, we will be working together in the future, so we should at least have some communication.

But the little cat always avoids contact with people as much as possible.

Maybe she's a bit of a loner, which isn't a bad thing.

"Then do I need to take off my mask?" Zhao Kangping asked, taking advantage of this topic.

Gu Qingyan glanced at his sheep head mask. She was not as curious as her sister, nor was she interested in knowing what kind of face was behind the mask.

"It all depends on your own opinion, we won't force you."

"It's very uncomfortable to wear. I'd rather not wear it."

As he spoke, Zhao Kangping took off the mask on his face.

Immediately, a handsome face appeared in front of the woman, much younger than she had imagined.

She originally thought that this fellow Daoist, who was at the Spiritual Transformation stage, might be middle-aged, but in fact, he was so young.

"I still don't know what my name is?" Although Zhao Kangping knew the woman's name, that was because he had read the original novel. Here he had to pretend that he was completely ignorant.

"Fellow Daoist, you can call me Madam Yan." Gu Qingyan revealed her external identity.

She claimed that her husband had passed away long ago and that she was now living with her daughter. However, this was just a fake identity; the daughter she was talking about was actually her sister.

"I am Zhao Kangping, the master of Yaohua Palace in Ziyang Holy Land, and also the current mayor of Chuanliu City." Unlike the woman who was shy, he openly revealed his true identity.

The woman opened her red lips, she was also surprised at the man's bold behavior.

They are in the intelligence business, and they do business with open doors.

They are not picky about who they do business with. If someone comes to investigate Zhao Kangping's information one day, they will definitely investigate as long as the other party can afford the price.

The woman thought it was a bit hasty for Zhao Kangping to reveal his identity so directly.
