Chapter 44 Chapter 44 [VIP]
Ling Suye never expected that a group of ancient people would have so much fun.
It was obvious that he, the time traveler, was like an old-fashioned person who didn't know how to adapt.
Of course, it would be better if he wasn't the one being fought over.
His gaze fell on Gu Xuanyou. Gu Xuanyou's attitude was quite persistent. He did not give in at all in the face of many aggressive superiors.
This surprised Ling Suye.
In his eyes, Gu Xuanyou always seemed to be submissive. He would listen to whatever he said without saying a word, and would never do anything unnecessary.
The only thing I insisted on doing in the past three years was not to enter the capital.
But he was forced to come here because of a word from the eldest princess.
Ling Suye found it quite fresh to see Gu Xuanyou being tough for once.
But in this situation, his gaze, projected from under his long, wet eyelashes, appeared quite weak and helpless in the eyes of others, making people even more predatory.
Take by force, the food in other people's bowls tastes the best.
The sinister man took in Ling Suye's every move, his eyes filled with interest. "Even if he doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do. You will be mine."
Gu Xuanyou was so anxious that he almost took a step forward, but was stopped by Xie Qingnian - he meant well, and letting Gu Xuanyou conflict with Jiang Ying and Si Xuan at this moment would be like an egg hitting a stone, which would break at the first touch.
Ling Suye frowned and spoke solemnly, "Mr. Jiang, I'm not a homosexual. What I did just now was just a temporary measure."
Jiang Ying narrowed her eyes, hiding the determined light under her eyelashes.
His tone was eight points more serious than when he spoke to Gu Xuanyou: "Do you know me?"
He was the godson adopted by the eunuch Jiang Yunfeng—and this eunuch was none other than the saint's former male favorite.
The reason why it was mentioned before was because later, the eunuch Jiang Yunfeng formed cliques, won over court officials, and even attempted to rebel. The Sage found evidence against him and executed him. All his forces were eradicated.
The reason why Jiang Ying was able to stay was, firstly, because he was still young at that time, and was adopted as Jiang Yunfeng's godson just because he was good-looking, and was given a name and raised outside the palace; secondly, because there was a monster in Shangjing at that time, and he actually awakened his talent for catching monsters in the crisis.
The sage valued talent and gave him a break, allowing him to join the Du'e Division.
Now, twenty-one years have passed, and the twenty-seven-year-old Jiang Ying has become the backbone of the Du'e Division.
Even though he was still young when his 'godfather Jiang Yunfeng' was brought down, he later learned everything from the masters in the palace.
He took this as a warning and always kept to himself. He even wanted to change his name "Jiang Ying" at one point, but the emperor didn't agree.
Maybe he still has some feelings for Jiang Yunfeng.
But the feelings of the royal family are like grace at one moment and thunder at the next. Who can bear it?
Back to Jiang Ying, as a close minister to the saint, he was determined to get rid of the influence of the treasonous eunuchs. He hated his own name so much that he never allowed anyone to call it.
Even many people in the Du'e Division who were not of the same generation did not know his name.
When they met, they only called him "Si Xuan" based on the brocade pattern on his clothes.
The unknown handsome man in front of him actually addressed him as "Master Jiang" right from the start, which was a slap in his face.
"I mean no offense," Ling Suye said, still bowing slightly, but his tone was not at all fearful. Instead, he said, "I hope Si Xuan won't force me."
Jiang Ying looked at Ling Suye deeply and strode away.
The officials of the Du'e Division around him were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.
He came here in a hurry just now, but now that the demon realm has been cracked, he is silent as a cicada, as if his mission has failed.
Zhou Zhi's gaze lingered on Ling Suye for a long moment before he said, "You'll be imprisoned in the Du'e Prison later. If you offend him, you'll suffer the consequences."
——As someone who has most likely faced a heavenly-level demon, Du'e Si would not let Ling Suye go easily.
After all, the great demon has now disappeared, and Du'esi must find him.
Otherwise, he might be lurking somewhere, waiting for the defense to be relaxed, and then he would deploy the demon domain again, enveloping the people and slaughtering them one by one. That would be very bad.
"I have done nothing wrong. I believe that the Du'e Division will enforce the law impartially." Ling Suye continued.
His sincere trust brought a smile to Zhou Zhi's lips.
Zhou Zhi winked at the others, and Gu Xuanyou and Ling Suye were both captured.
Xie Qingnian wanted to take care of Gu Xuanyou, but he was also very puzzled by his boss's smile. After hesitating for a long time, he finally ran after his boss.
"Boss, what are you laughing at?" Xie Qingnian was very curious.
Zhou Zhi was in a better mood and didn't think of hiding it. He said, "Ling Wuming is more to my taste."
Xie Qingnian: “???”
He was horrified and blurted out: "You want to snatch people from Gu Xuanyou too!!!"
Zhou Zhi: "..."
The smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he wondered why he had found such a stupid subordinate.
Xie Qingnian, however, felt incredibly uncomfortable at the moment, completely losing his usual tact to cheer up Zhou Zhi. He chased after him and kept asking, "Boss, so you like that kind of person?"
"But he didn't do anything."
"He was just lucky. In this demon realm, he became Aye, the sister whom the demon realm master wanted to protect. With the key prop given by the demon realm master, of course he was able to survive unscathed."
"Also, although he's good-looking and has a good stature, but...but..."
Xie Qingnian thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
He was so angry that tears were about to fall. He said, "Boss, what is it about Ling Wuming that you like?"
I'm going to learn now!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Zhi in front of him stopped. He thought his boss was going to answer him, so he looked forward and saw an adult he was very familiar with standing on the boat next to the island in the middle of the lake - Jiang Ying and his men.
Xie Qingnian glanced at Jiang Ying blankly, even forgetting to salute.
Jiang Ying's men glanced at Xie Qingnian and Zhou Zhi, their expressions changing in unison. They were probably all screaming inwardly, eager to see who would be the final winner of this drama, to see who would win the beautiful woman. But as workers, they still had to maintain their professionalism during the night's overtime hours—to be serious.
Different from Jiang Ying's sinister nature, Zhou Zhi has always been awe-inspiring and rigid. When he heard Xie Qingnian's words, his tense face couldn't help but twitch.
In order to end this awkward confrontation, Zhou Zhi did not wait for Jiang Ying's men to untie the rope tied to the shore. He slashed with his sword, and Jiang Ying and his men gradually disappeared from the lake.
From afar, Jiang Ying's voice drifted lightly along with the lake breeze: "I was wondering, Lord Zhou also has such intentions."
Zhou Zhi: "..."
Zhou Zhi turned around and looked at Xie Qingnian. Xie Qingnian was like a big dog, with grievance and pity in his almond-shaped eyes, but when he looked at Zhou Zhi, he immediately pretended to be happy.
"Boss, I..."
Can I learn from him?
Zhou Zhi interrupted Xie Qingnian and said, "Practice silent meditation for fifteen days, otherwise you will never be able to stay under my command."
Xie Qingnian subconsciously wanted to speak, but Zhou Zhi continued, "From now on."
Xie Qingnian: “…”
The big dog lowered his head in grievance and followed Zhou Zhi onto the boat.
Ling Suye and Gu Xuanyou were later forced onto the boat by the officials of the Du'e Division. When the lake breeze blew, Ling Suye felt very cold, but he said nothing and just endured it silently.
No one knew the rules of the Du'e Division better than him, and he could not get a change of clothes at this moment.
Once he arrived at the prison of Du'e Division, he could change into prison uniform - of course, he was not a criminal, so he did not have to wear prison uniform, but compared to this dress, prison uniform was certainly more acceptable.
Ling Suye closed his eyes and gradually breathed lighter - as they left the island in the middle of the lake, the vision that he had been given in the demon realm gradually dissipated.
There was no light at all now.
Although Gu Xuanyou knew nothing, his heart to take care of Ling Suye remained the same. He carefully changed direction to block more cold wind for his master.
Ling Suye was completely unaware of this. He had consumed too much energy in breaking into the demon realm this time. For a demon catcher whose dantian was destroyed and whose spiritual power was completely lost, he had already reached his limit at this moment.
Therefore, he fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.
·
When I woke up, I was already wearing clean clothes.
The touch was not the roughness of prison uniforms, but rather the soft warmth of fine cotton.
The clerk next to him saw that he had woken up and seemed to be touching his clothes with his fingertips. He kindly said, "This is a reward from our Lord Si Xuan. He said that although you look good in a skirt, it is not appropriate for too many people to see you. The prison uniform is rough and unsuitable for a beauty."
Needless to say, this man is obviously Jiang Ying's subordinate.
I expected to see Ling Suye's face filled with shame and anger, but he actually stood up and bowed gracefully: "Please tell Master Si Xuan that Ling Wuming thanks you."
Although there are nine Si Xuans in the Du'e Division, the others are called "Master Zhou" or "Master Li" and so on. Only Jiang Ying is called "Master Si Xuan".
Seeing that Ling Suye was quite sensible and didn't resist, the man became more willing to speak. "Everything you had on you is here. As for the thirty mermaid pearls, the adults are studying them and may confiscate them later."
Originally, there was no need to explain this to Ling Suye, but the official wanted to flatter Ling Suye.
After all, he was not only favored by Lord Jiang Ying, but even Lord Zhou Zhi expressed his liking for him.
These two are the leaders of the nine Si Xuan in the Du'e Division!
So, this person, by chance and fate, once entered the demon realm, not only did she become the 'sister' of the heavenly demon, but she was also noticed by two Lords Si Xuan at the same time. This was a huge blessing from heaven!
Why didn't it happen to him?
If Ling Suye knew what the official was thinking, he would probably say, "I'll give you this pie. I don't want it."
But he couldn't see anything at the moment and had no way of guessing what others were thinking.
He could feel his jade mirror at hand, as well as a few pieces of silver and flint on his body, all very simple things.
He did not put on the jade mirror immediately, but kept his eyes closed and began to review what had happened in the entire demon realm.
He felt that the reason he was chosen as 'Aye' was definitely not because the pronunciation of the last character of his name was somewhat similar to 'Aye', but because something in him was connected to Azhan, the Lord of the Demon Realm.
What is it exactly?
Ling Suye's fingertips stroked several of his belongings and paused. Suddenly, four words popped up in his mind - jade mirror.
Azhan and Aye have an older brother, that’s what the mother said.
Previously, the young Wu Qi in the City God Temple's demonic realm had said that he was originally from the East China Sea, but later got lost...
Could it be that Wu Qi is your elder brother?
The author has something to say:
Good night, my darlings. I will help Aye recover his strength soon!
