Chapter 53

  "Sister, you've finally left Beijing!" This was Bai Yutang's teasing remark when he saw Lu Xiaofeng.

  Xiao Feng directly gave him a cold shoulder and didn't even bother to reason with him.

  "I heard that you've been holding your breath for half a day at the bottom of the lake, is that right? Isn't this just as fierce as Fourth Brother?"

  Rely on it!

  This white mouse isn't done yet, is it?

  Lu Xiaofeng closed the folding fan in his hand.

  Bai Yutang quickly became alert and dodged to one side. He recognized this fan, it was the one he had bought with Xianzhi in Songjiang Prefecture, and it had a hidden mechanism on it.

  "Bai Xiaowu, I heard you and Zhan Xiaomao are both ducks that can't swim."

  Bai Yutang vowed that it was absolutely not a good intention, with a smile like a yellow weasel visiting a chicken on New Year's Day.

  "Zhan Zhao, my sister is looking for you."

  Zhang Zhaowen really came over from that side.

  Lu Xiaofeng tapped his forehead with the handle of his fan and sighed, "Zhan Xiaomao, you actually believed what Bai Xiaowu said?"

  Zhan Zhao laughed under his breath, "What's going on between you and Bai again?" Did he let Bai Yutang find him to take the fall?

  She said she heard we're all ducks in a drought.

  Zhan Zhao coughed and suddenly thought of the scene where she tried to push him into the water on Lantern Festival - very ambiguous, very enticing.

  "Let's not talk about that," said Lu Xiaofeng, tapping the carriage roof with his fan. "Bai Xiaowu, you live on Trap Island and yet you're afraid of water - don't you think it's strange yourself?" It's just self-torment, always worrying about drowning to death.

  "It's okay, Fourth Brother is here."

  "It turns out, Fourth Brother is a professional at picking you up." Little Phoenix Maiden said, indicating that she had finally understood.

  "Listening to his nonsense, I don't have that kind of time." The front of Jiang Ping didn't even turn his head and snorted, and Lao Wu was so fed up with him that he didn't even want to look down on him. He's the kind of person who sinks to the bottom as soon as he's thrown into the water, how can you teach someone like that, it's hopeless."

  "Hey, Bai Xiaowu, don't think you can slack off like this! Everyone else is walking honestly down there, what are you doing sitting on top of the train car?"

  They were all on foot except for Bao Da and her carriage, but Bai Yutang kept running to the top of her carriage, don't know what to say about him.

  "Sister, this is to ensure your personal safety."

  "Lazy is lazy, don't make excuses." Even so, sister won't admit it.

  Zhan Zhao watched them tease each other, but didn't interrupt, and silently returned to stand guard beside Bao Da's sedan.

  "What's wrong, Lu?" Gong Sun Ce asked as he saw him return.

  Nothing happened.

  Gongsun Wei couldn't help but laugh, "It must be that Bai Xiaochun has provoked Lu Meng again."

  Zhan Zhao smiled but did not speak.

  Bai Yutang had it coming to him. He knew he couldn't get the better of me in a war of words, yet he refused to concede defeat and kept asking for trouble.

  "Bai Yutang, are we going to part ways with Lord Bao and the others at the next relay station?"

  Bai Yutang sat on the top of the horse carriage, fanning himself with a fan and looking at a certain cat not far in front of him, saying: "Hmm, probably another twenty miles before we can part ways."

  "Is Trap Island really a summer resort as you said?" You didn't cheat me, did you? Why am I so suspicious?

  "Of course." Bai Yutang replied with absolute certainty.

  "If it's fake, I'll throw you into the water to feed the fish."

  "You're not that venomous, are you?"

  "Haven't you heard of 'the heart of a woman is the most poisonous'? Don't you know that saints have said 'only petty people and women are difficult to raise'? In the end, Little Phoenix concluded, "Lack of knowledge is really terrifying!"

  Bai Yutang: "......"

  Inside the carriage, after teasing Jinmao Mouse, Little Phoenix Maiden didn't pay attention to him anymore. She played with the pearl as if it were a top, feeling that life was still quite comfortable.

  "Miss, I've almost finished weaving this eight-treasured pouch," said Xiaohe, holding the golden and silver threads in her hand as she gazed at the young lady playing happily with a pearl.

  As for the exquisite and delicate pouch that Xiao He was holding, which was almost finished, it would be insincere to say that he didn't like it. However, "Xiao He, won't hanging this thing on your waist attract trouble?" This is a very realistic problem, and reality is often cruel!

  "Pfft, pfft, pfft! Miss, you should also spit twice to get rid of this filthy talk. Besides, even if such a precious thing is lost, it's easy to find back. In our household, only people like us deserve such ornaments." And with miss wearing it, it must look great.

  Lu Xiaofeng responded to Yiniang's request and cooperated with her by spitting twice, which was considered a cleansing of the oral wound.

  "Protect the adults."

  Suddenly, a warning voice like Zhan Zhao sounded outside, which also made Lu Xiaofeng's nerves tense.

  Bai Yutang, who was originally lounging on top of the carriage, also grasped the sword at his waist.

  The master of the palace of the protector god of Liao Guo still can't forget that pearl in Liu Mei's hand!

  "I just want Miss Pong Sa."

  I was actually named!

  Lu Xiaofeng really didn't know whether he should feel honored or not, after all, the other person was also a national guardian deity.

  What's wrong with you!

  Sister was moved by her grandmother, no matter how good someone else's things are, they are someone else's, and coming to the door to grab them is simply a three-level moron.

  "Wei Gong is a master of one palace, and it's beneath him to be at odds with a little girl like you." The voice outside was still Zhang Chao.

  "Hmph, she took the treasure of my Divine Palace, so it should be returned."

  "Hey, in this day and age, right and wrong are no longer distinguished. If it's really your sacred object, it should listen to you, not me! Originally, it was my thing, and I've let the interest from all these years slide, which is already being generous. How did I end up with a thief's reputation?"

  "You've got a sharp tongue on you."

  "The host is so polite, if I had the skills to rob a house like you do, I wouldn't bother talking so much either. The noble and cold demeanor is really impressive."

  "You..."

  Bai Yutang stood on top of the carriage, hugging his Huaying sword and burst out laughing, "Haha, I couldn't agree more! I also think that if you spoke less, you would be as noble and elegant as this Wei Gongzhu."

  "Ah!" Zhan Zhao suddenly looked surprised, as if something unexpected had happened.

  Xiaohe stuck his head out of the car window and turned around, saying: "Miss, Bao Daren has gotten off the bus."

  Lu Xiaofeng was startled, her idol had already gotten off the bus, she shouldn't be hiding like a quail anymore, hurry up and get off too, they were looking for her after all, can't implicate her idol.

  "Miss, what are you doing..." In Xiao He's cry of surprise, the young lady from his house quickly pushed open the car door and jumped out.

  "Wei Gongzhu, you hold a prestigious position in the Great Liao, and yet when you come to our Great Song, can't you behave with some sense of propriety?" Bao Zheng was already communicating with Wei Qingying.

  Lu Xiaofeng got on the horse carriage, and Bai Yutang naturally followed closely behind.

  "Wei Gong Zhu, since you've come for me, let's settle this face to face. This matter has nothing to do with the Kaifeng Prefecture or the Great Song Dynasty; it's just a personal vendetta between you, Wei Qingying, the Palace Master of the Daliao Huguo Temple, and I, the Third Miss of the Taishi Mansion."

  "It should be so." Lu Xiaofeng's words hit Wei Qingying right in the heart, her beloved daughter was dead, her beloved had passed away, and the spirit enshrined in the temple could not be lost again.

  Zhan Zhao wanted to speak, but was stopped by Bao Zheng.

  "Take it easy and don't be impatient."

  Gongsun Ce also said: "Lord Bao is right." This Lu Niang has always been unpredictable in her moves, and her clever strategies are endless. Showing concern for Zhen would only lead to chaos.

  "Well, in that case, the host can make his move."

  Wei Qingying was taken aback.

  Lu Xiaofeng said, "Don't be so surprised, Palace Master. I am a Song person, you are a Liao person, so I am the host, and you are the guest who has come from afar. Naturally, I should treat my guests with courtesy, and follow their wishes."

  That's quite an elegant remark!

  Wei Qingying coldly snorted, "This palace master won't bully you, this little maid. As long as you can withstand this palace master's Soul Transference Great Technique, this palace master will leave and no longer entangle herself in this matter."

  Zhang Shao and Gong Sun Zan and others were all greatly shocked, and in unison they exclaimed, "It cannot be!"

  Zhan Zhao and others looked at each other, and finally Gong Sun Ce spoke up.

  "Miss Pong, this Soul-Transferring Great Method is no trivial matter, it's extremely harmful to the human body."

  Lu Xiaofeng smiled slightly and said to her idol Bao Daren: "Bao Daren, since ancient times evil has never overcome justice, don't you think?"

  Bao Zheng nodded definitely, "That's right."

  "Then today it's an adult, will the adult test the law with their own body?"

  "Will." Unwavering certainty.

  "That's alright then."

  "But, Pang Niang..." This time even Bao Quan hesitated a bit.

  "Mr. Bao is a man of integrity, and I am also confident in my own innocence. If Mr. Bao dares to try, I too feel that I have the courage to do so."

  Bao Zheng fell silent for a moment and no longer spoke out to stop her. In that instant, he seemed to really believe she could do it.

  When Wei Qingying let her look into her eyes, Xiao Feng's daughter exclaimed, "Isn't it the Soul Transference Technique? Why does it feel like the Soul Capturing Technique?" But she still looked over without fear.

  Actually, Wei Qingying was startled when she heard her say the four words "Soul Capturing Technique", but seeing that she still looked over at her fearlessly, she immediately let out a sigh of relief.

  Two people looked at each other.

  "Look into my eyes and listen to my orders."

  "How come you're changing the hypnotic method again?" Lu Xiaofeng was very puzzled. In those years, in order to train her willpower, a group of old foxes at home used all kinds of tricks, which were simply comparable to the standards of the CIA. She once suspected that they didn't want to cultivate police successors, but wanted her to switch to national security work.

  So-called hypnosis or soul-capturing techniques, in fact, are just controlling people's willpower. They have no effect on people with strong willpower, which has been proven through practice and testing.

  Zhan Zhao, who was originally very tense, almost burst out laughing, this girl really knows how to ruin the atmosphere.

  Wei Qingying was shocked in her heart, how could the Soul-Capturing Incense have no effect on her at all?

  "Palace master, why don't you try dangling a pendant or a pearl in front of me and see? I admit your eyes are quite beautiful, but if I keep staring like this, I'll get crossed eyes."

  "I didn't think you wouldn't be afraid of the Soul-Seizing Technique." Wei Qingying couldn't help but admit that she had really lost this time, originally intending to use the Soul-Seizing Technique to control her and then regain control over the spirit.

  "What about the spirit?" Had she borrowed the power of a spirit? Thinking of this possibility, Wei Qingying immediately asked.

  "Oh, you're talking about that troublemaker? Of course, I got rid of him without any mercy. Did you think I'd leave him around for you to have an excuse to come bother me again?"

  "You actually destroyed the spirit?"

  "Why not?" Lu Xiaofeng said solemnly, "For the unknown creature that poses a serious threat to my life, it is natural to eradicate it resolutely and thoroughly. Although I don't want to be remembered for generations, at least I want to die of old age."

  "I don't believe it." As she spoke, Wei Qingying's hand suddenly reached out and grabbed one of her attendants, pulling him close. Her right hand pinched his shoulder, causing fresh blood to flow out.

  Everyone in Kaifeng Prefecture was shocked, and Xing Zhaoyang and others were ready to take action at any time.

  Lu Xiaofeng's eyes widened, and at the same time, he heard Zhenzhu Xiao Ling's voice, "She wants a blood sacrifice."

  Black magic!

  "But I have already been cleansed of the bloodstain by my master and am no longer bound by this evil spell."

  Wei Qingying did not feel any fluctuations in the air and was even more disappointed, stopping the blood sacrifice halfway.

  Since it's already useless, there's no need to sacrifice a life under its command.

  "Return to the palace." Wei Qingying left Daliao with regret, disappointment and pain, returning to the Hu Guo Shen Palace, never setting foot in Central Plains again.

  "You were too reckless." This was Zhan Zhao's first words to her after everything had ended.

  Bai Yutang followed up, "Zhan Zhao is right, you're being too reckless."

  "Gambling should be done big, for the sake of my future peaceful life, this is a must-win gamble. I'm not a mouse, am I supposed to let her chase me around every day?"

  Zhan Zhao endured and endured, but finally turned his head and smiled.

  Bao Zheng and Gong Sun Ce couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Bai Yutang slapped his own forehead with a loud smack.

  Han Zhang and Jiang Ping looked at each other helplessly and shook their heads.

  Sixth sister, you've formed a pact with the Five Rats of Trap Island. If you're not a rat, then what are you? You really have no self-awareness!
