Chapter 218 I will go meet them in person [Thanks to the leader of "Watched too many movies last night"]
The story of Youlan Xuan spread in just one day. After all, the scene of the giant claw falling from the sky was too shocking and could not be concealed, and various versions of the story were soon interpreted.
Perhaps in order to calm the situation, Youlanxuan quickly gave a statement that was close to the facts.
A great demon coveted the beauty of Miss Jiangli and wanted to use magic to kidnap Miss Jiangli. Fortunately, a kind-hearted passerby rescued Miss Jiangli in time.
And this enthusiastic person is Li Chu, the young Taoist priest of the newly opened Deyun Temple in the south of the city.
This version should have been released with the consent of Chaotianque, taking all aspects into consideration.
The transaction behind the scenes was hidden, which instead highlighted the charm of Miss Jiang Li and added a bit of brilliance; the conflict between the Shenxiao Sect and the Huanlong Kingdom was not pointed out, allowing all parties to temporarily stabilize; among them, the appearance of the name Li Chu was undoubtedly a major benefit for Deyun Temple.
Especially on the second day, Miss Jiangli personally went to Deyun Temple to express her gratitude, which further proved that what he said was true.
However, it is hard to say whether this action was authorized by the government or her personal wish.
…
Divide the view within.
Li Chu and Wei Jiangli sat opposite each other.
The scene was the same as before in Youlan Xuan, except that there was smoke curling in front of the hall, there were fewer ambiguous lights, and there was a hint of elegance.
But Miss Jiangli's face was still as red as a freshly peeled shrimp.
Li Chu slowly said, "There are some things that were difficult to say in Youlan Pavilion last night. Miss Jiangli happened to come to my temple, and I want to ask some questions. I wonder if it is okay..."
It’s hard to say...
Miss Jiangli's heart skipped a beat.
Has this moment finally arrived?
She lowered her head shyly, wondering what posture would be most beautiful when she looked up and said "I do" later.
"I want to ask... Miss Jiangli, have you ever seen the cultivators in charge of Youlan Pavilion while you were in Youlan Pavilion?" Li Chu asked seriously.
"ah?"
Wei Jiangli was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that it was a waste of his emotions.
But seeing Li Chu's serious look, she thought about it quickly and replied, "I've never seen this before. There doesn't seem to be any cultivators in Youlan Xuan."
Usually, it is normal to have one or two worshippers in a large brothel.
On the contrary, it is very abnormal that there is no cultivator in charge, especially for a top figure in the industry like Youlan Xuan, it is impossible for him not to consider such risks.
Li Chu nodded and asked, "Does Miss Jiang Li know who is the boss behind Youlanxuan?"
There must be a powerful force behind a den of illicit sex, otherwise it would not be possible for it to grow and develop. The only difference is that some are overt or some are covert. The more hidden ones are, the more ordinary girls may not be able to touch them.
However, a good girl like Wei Jiangli, who is at the level of an oiran, might still know some inside information.
"Boss...it seems there are several." Miss Jiangli answered truthfully: "The only one I have met is Aunt Wan, but there must be more than one."
"Aunt Wan?"
"Aunt Wan's name is Su Wan. She was also a very popular courtesan in Shenluo City back then." Wei Jiangli explained patiently, "After she retired, she founded Youlanxuan."
"I see." Li Chu nodded again.
It seems that if we want to find out more about the Yin family, we have to dig deeper.
"Master Xiao Li... do you want to find out something about Youlan Xuan?" Wei Jiangli asked.
She was smart and had long guessed that Li Chu went to Youlanxuan not just to visit the brothel.
The reason is simple.
If he wanted to find a girl, he wouldn't have to put in that effort.
He could even open a brothel himself and have girls come to spend money...
"Nothing." Li Chu shook his head.
"I'm not doubting you... I'm saying, whatever Taoist Xiao Li wants to investigate, I can help you." Miss Jiang Li said carefully.
Although Youlanxuan raised her, taught her skills, and made her famous...it was like home to her.
but……
If possible, she wouldn't mind changing homes.
Li Chu naturally would not let her take risks, nor would he entrust matters to outsiders.
He smiled calmly and said, "Thank you, Miss Jiangli. Just don't reveal our conversation to others. These questions today will be kept as a secret between us."
Although these questions are nothing, if someone with ulterior motives hears them, they will inevitably doubt his intentions. So giving a few reminders is just a precaution.
But Wei Jiangli's heart trembled.
ah.
A little secret between us? Then...
Her thoughts drifted away.
If a boy is born, in the hope that he will have an easy life and reach great heights, he will be named Li Ronggao.
If a girl is born and the parents hope that she will behave kindly and be honest throughout her life, they can name her Li Yanshi.
She was lost in thought and somehow walked out.
After leaving the hall, she met Wang Longqi and the fox girl at the door. She smiled slightly, her complexion instantly returning to a cold and noble white, and nodded slightly, politely and distantly.
"Good girl." Wang Longqi looked at her back and whispered, "She's quite fast at changing her expression."
The fox girl smiled and narrowed her eyes, "This is how a girl meets her true love."
"There is no such thing as true love." Wang Longqi curled his lips, "It's just lust after beauty."
The fox girl glanced at him and smiled, "It's better than being tempted by money."
Wang Longqi sighed.
He was always resentful that Li Chu was able to win the favor of Wei Jiangli with only one tael of silver, especially when he later heard that someone spent 30,000 taels to ask Wei Jiangli to choose someone else.
It made him even more frightened.
If money can't even buy true love, how can we live in this world? Tears flowed down my cheeks.
Hell is empty and Li Chu is on earth.
…
He was not the only one who was devastated by the anecdote about Li Chu and Wei Jiangli.
Nanchengguanli.
Taoist Priest Du hadn't eaten for a whole day. He sat in the clean room, with a very dark face, staring at a Taoist scripture without turning a page for a long time.
The disciples who knew his temper knew that this was the time when the master was most likely to get angry, and they did not dare to come up to persuade him.
In the end, it was Master Wei who stepped in.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Taoist Wei walked up and asked with concern.
In fact, he knew what happened.
Taoist Priest Du used to like Miss Jiangli the most. Last year, when Miss Jiangli attended the Flower City Conference, he used his savings for a year to buy silk flowers and paved a three-foot flower path for Miss Jiangli.
He even once told his disciples that he was willing to drink Miss Jiangli's bath water.
Of course, this was just a joke, but it was enough to show how deep his feelings were.
As just an ordinary middle-aged Taoist priest, he never expected anything to really happen between him and Miss Jiangli.
But now...
Miss Jiangli came to the south of the city, entered a Taoist temple, and had an anecdote with her direct competitor.
His mentality collapsed on the spot.
"Junior brother..." Seeing Master Wei coming in, Master Du's mouth curled up. "I feel wronged..."
"Brother, please relax and don't waver in your faith." Taoist Priest Wei advised.
"Do you think my status is not as good as that little Taoist priest?" asked Taoist Du.
"Although we are both temple masters, the scale of my Nancheng Temple is much larger than his, so naturally, senior brother wins over him." Taoist Wei replied.
"What do you think? My cultivation is not as good as his?" Taoist Du asked again.
"Well... Senior Brother has been practicing for decades, and he has only been practicing for a few years. He should not lose to him." Taoist Master Wei answered while muttering to himself.
"Is that because I don't look as good as him?"
"Senior Brother and he..." Taoist Master Wei gritted his teeth and said, "They are on par with each other!"
Snap——
A thunderbolt sounded in the clear sky.
Taoist Priest Wei quickly recited Taoist scriptures in his heart and asked for forgiveness.
Taoist Priest Du looked up at the sky and gritted his teeth: "No, we must drive the Deyun Temple out of the south of the city!"
"Hmm?" Taoist Master Wei wondered, "Didn't Senior Brother say when he came back last time that he had a high level of cultivation, a deep background, and was affiliated with the Hongmen, so it was inappropriate for him to conflict with Deyun Temple again?"
"I've changed my mind." Dulanke's eyes were filled with rage: "Your previous methods were too merciful."
"this time……"
"I'll go meet them in person!"
…
At the same time, Li Chu was about to go out.
Taoist robe, cloth shoes, sword on back, Taoist bun...
Everything is in the most familiar attire.
The place he was going to was the clinic he had been to before, because he had just heard a piece of news that surprised him.
Doctor Liu is dead.
He died very peacefully, lying on the table in the clinic. There were no scars on his body, and it looked like he was just overthinking. People said he worked too hard for the clinic.
But Li Chu felt that things were not that simple.
He wanted to go and see.
Thanks to "I watched too many movies last night" for becoming the leader of this book. This ID matches the temperament of this book quite well. I owe 29+1=30 updates, which is very sudden. After staying up all night for a few days, my schedule is messed up again. I feel dizzy all day and a little annoyed.
