"You're back?"
As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Bei saw Chu Ruoyi tidying the yard.
Teacher Chu doesn’t have any special hobbies. When she lived in the villa before, she was in charge of the villa’s yard because there were no servants at home.
And she was happy with it, trimming the flowers and plants every day, which was quite to her liking.
Even though I have moved to a new place and come to this door, I am not idle.
"I'm tidying up the house. Aunt Bai, who sold our house, also loves flowers."
Chu Ruoyi couldn't help but explain when she saw Jiang Bei looking at her with complicated eyes.
Jiang Bei was stunned and burst out laughing.
He habitually wanted to use his spiritual sense to take a look at the condition of the women in the main room, but suddenly he felt a tearing pain in his brain.
In this state, my spiritual awareness is completely unusable... If I want to make up for it, I can only rely on rest.
The so-called Qi Refining Stage is the most embarrassing here, as it is impossible to make up for the loss of spiritual power through other means.
Jiang Bei couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows, his body swayed because of the sudden pain, and he sat on a chair in the yard.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Chu Ruoyi, who had already felt that Jiang Bei was a little strange this morning, also noticed Jiang Bei's illness. She quickly put down the scissors in her hand, rubbed her apron with both hands, and walked quickly towards Jiang Bei.
The two sat opposite each other at the dinner table they had last night, and Chu Ruoyi looked nervous.
Although she didn't ask Jiang Bei why he came back in the morning or what he did last night...it doesn't mean she doesn't have any concerns.
Now, in the whole family, only Jiang Bei can protect them. If... if something happens to Jiang Bei outside, what should these weak women do?
In addition to worrying about herself, she was also concerned about what had happened to Jiang Bei. However, she did not ask because she saw that Jiang Bei was not in a good state. After all, Chu Ruoyi knew nothing about this Taoist sect.
He will naturally say what he wants to say.
Jiang Bei shook his head, feeling very conflicted. He hadn't thought about how to deal with the current situation along the way.
Bishop Bill fell into the hands of the Lord of Tiannan City, which made him somewhat helpless.
Moreover, now is not the time to make enemies with the Taoist officials. On the contrary, if possible, he should try his best to maintain good relations with these people.
The thief was a disciple of the sect, but in a sense, the sect and the government were in opposition, and the resources for cultivation were always fixed. If the thief consumed more, it would mean less for others.
This means that the situation of the official strongmen is more difficult.
Therefore, making friends with official people will bring you a lot of benefits when necessary. Before entering the Taoist sect, Jiang Bei also planned to do so!
However, he did not expect that his plan would be completely ruined by Bishop Bill who showed up unexpectedly.
Jiang Bei rubbed his brows. This kind of thing... If it was Su Lanxin in front of him, Jiang Bei would not say anything, because it would be useless...
But this person happened to be Chu Ruoyi, and she appeared when he was most conflicted.
"Yesterday, when we entered the city gate, the guards were very lax. The reason was... a big monster appeared in Tiannan City, a monster transformed into a human form." Jiang Bei said.
"Big monster?" Chu Ruoyi was obviously stunned and almost said what a monster was.
"Well, you can understand it as... the beast has become a spirit." Jiang Bei said helplessly. To be honest, although he felt that many strange beasts were ready to attack him on the way to Tiannan City, they finally chose to give way in the face of his strength.
However, these monsters were not noticed by Chu Ruoyi and the others.
Even An Ran and the other powerful ones only felt some inexplicable hostility... but they didn't care.
Hear the sound.
Chu Ruoyi obviously gasped, how come there is a monster in this door!
But the next moment, Teacher Chu realized the seriousness of the problem. She stood up suddenly, and her plump breasts trembled a few times under the violent movement: "A demon has entered the city! And it has transformed into a human form?!"
"Then we..."
We just bought a house!
It’s really not that Teacher Chu was slow to react. After all, he was the first to be hit by the “big monster”, so it was not easy for him to recover so quickly.
“Not entirely…it’s the City Lord’s Mansion of Tiannan City that thinks so. The transformed monster they’re talking about isn’t actually a monster.” Jiang Bei grinned.
"The one who entered the city... was Bishop Bill, and he has now been captured by Tiannan City." Jiang Bei said helplessly.
"Ah???" Chu Ruoyi was confused. "Isn't this a good thing? Why are you..."
Jiang Bei shook his head, "Just listen to me first..."
Chu Ruoyi then shut up and listened quietly to Jiang Bei's account of the whole process as he knew it.
It included Bishop Bill's battle with Tiannan City yesterday morning, how he escaped, how he was caught...even Bishop Bill's strange ability was explained.
"The most serious thing is that old Bill wants to reach a cooperation with the City Lord's Mansion. He may want to use his ability as a bargaining chip... and he has already revealed that he is not a demon, but for now... the people in the City Lord's Mansion don't believe it."
Jiang Bei explained.
Then he talked about what happened to Bishop Bill this morning when he was unconscious.
"Do you understand?" Jiang Bei blinked and asked.
Chu Ruoyi's throat rolled over, and then she nodded with difficulty, "I think I understand..."
She hesitated for a moment, then continued, "So the matter between Bill and the City Lord's Mansion was really just a misunderstanding... It's just because he looks like a foreigner that he is treated as a great demon?"
"Almost." Jiang Bei responded.
"Then..." Chu Ruoyi was silent for a long time before asking, "So what you are worried about is the relationship between Bishop Bill and the City Lord's Mansion in the future?"
"Well... in other words, will he reveal that you are someone from outside?"
Chu Ruoyi knew very well that she must not reveal the truth that she was an outsider under any circumstances. The Suzaku Guardian had warned her repeatedly at that time.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have made so many preparations just to enter a city. Even though they weren't used in the end... it doesn't mean they will never be used.
And once their origins are revealed, they will surely bring about fatal disaster!
You will even be "wanted" by the entire Taoist community!
After she finished speaking, Chu Ruoyi's expression became solemn.
“Yes, you are studying psychology, so I want to ask you…
