The next day, when Lingchan got up and went out, she met Bai Ruisong.
This is really strange.
Ling Chanhan asked: "Why are you dressed like this today?"
Bai Ruisong always likes elegant and solemn colors. He usually wears dark green and bamboo green... but today he is wearing a rare scarlet color.
Pretty and light red, ordinary men would always look too rosy when wearing it, but Bai Ruisong wore it like this, turning the red into an embellishment of his elegant demeanor, adding a bit of charm to his originally handsome appearance. Colorful.
Bai Ruisong curled his fingers to cover his mouth in embarrassment and coughed all over, "Is it weird?"
"Of course..." Lingchan drawled, "It's super pretty!"
She turned around briskly, and her red skirt unfolded like a blooming flower, "It's as beautiful as my skirt!"
"How can it be compared with A-Chan?" Bai Ruisong smiled and said gently: "I am going to interrogate Huachun Haoqiang today, will your Highness the Princess want to attend?"
Before, there was a big banquet in the city lord's mansion every day, and even Lingchan was arrested. The focus of the investigation was Ren Yazi, who traveled all over the country to buy "sacrifice" for the city lord.
These people were low-level businessmen, wealthy but unable to access the secrets behind the sacrifice. Bai Ruisong was able to arrest and kill many of them, but he could not find any other participants other than Hu Zhengchang.
But Hu Zhengchang was a floating official, and he had only been in office for how many years? And the fog in Hanshan has lasted for nearly fifty years!
Bai Ruisong knew something was wrong, but he couldn't find a breakthrough.
Until Lingchan got the list from Yu Sijiu.
The truth behind it finally became clear.
Several local powerful people joined forces and set up a dojo in Hanshan, hoping to use the terrain to bring good luck to themselves.
I never expected that the city lord who took office at that time was also a monk. He took a fancy to the geomantic treasure land of Hanshan, but he did more ruthless things than the local families.
He turned the formation that borrowed the terrain into a living sacrifice formation to improve his cultivation. After his strength soared, even his official career also prospered. Within a few years, he was promoted and left Huachun.
The city lords behind were all ordinary people and could not practice without spiritual roots, so this living sacrifice formation began to bring luck to the local wealthy families again.
Until Ling Chan discovered the matter.
"The living sacrifices have not been done for a long time. The people in charge were still alive at the time. They are the chief culprits and should be punished. A lot of their wealth comes from the living sacrifices and is stained with the blood of innocent people. I plan to confiscate it all..."
"Also, at the banquet that day, there were some people who had never participated in the case of living sacrifice, but their conduct was corrupt and they caused harm to the village. I plan to let them stay in jail for a few more days to remember them."
The two of them walked side by side in the corridor. Bai Ruisong explained his various plans in detail and said warmly: "Please give me some advice, princess."
"fine!"
Lingchan believed in Bai Ruisong's ability in government affairs. She didn't plan to interfere too much, but mentioned another matter, "This case is almost over, and it's time for me to leave here."
Bai Ruisong was startled and stopped unconsciously.
"Achan... want to leave?"
Lingchan looked at him strangely, "The living sacrifice issue has been resolved, of course I have to leave? My father has been waiting for me to come home."
Bai Ruisong was silent for a moment.
After a while, he said in a dry voice: "Achan...when do you plan to leave?"
Lingchan curved her lips and smiled, and said in a brisk voice, "Just these two days."
"...Okay." Bai Ruisong swallowed his emotions and said, "I wish Miss Achan a safe journey."
Lingchan patted his shoulder comfortingly, "You don't have to worry about it. As the city lord, you have to go to Beijing to resume your duties. We will see each other again soon."
Bai Ruisong's smile was still quite forced, and he resigned without saying a few words.
Lingchan bid farewell to Bai Ruisong and turned to find Fuyaoguang.
She still remembers what it was like to be with Fuyaoguang and her cultivation speed was so fast! Now that I am about to leave, I have to pluck this wool out hard before I can be reconciled.
Lingchan first went to Fuyaoguang's bedroom, but there was no one there; she searched the yard again, but there was no one there; the place where Fuyaoguang used to practice his sword was even more empty.
"Has Fuyaoguang gone out?" Lingchan grabbed a maid and asked.
Fuyaoguang never allowed anyone to serve him personally. The maid didn't know where Fuyaoguang was. She just saw that Lingchan couldn't find anyone, so she hesitated and said, "I didn't see the master coming out, but the master has deep cultivation. Maybe it's because of us mortals." A secret method that cannot be seen?”
"..."
Of course Fuyaoguang has the secret method. If he doesn't want Lingchan to find him, he will naturally use all kinds of methods.
But why is he hiding from himself?
Lingchan didn't plan to leave without seeing anyone today. She chatted with the maid, smiling and talking about the temple fair last night and the beautiful actors on the stage.
"Are you really playing the role of the Lord of the City?" Unknowingly, other maids came over to watch the fun. Lingchan also saw the cute maid who told her yesterday that there was a temple fair to attend.
"Yes! It was changed based on Han Shan's incident! I'm super awesome on stage!"
Ling Chan shared it excitedly and got into a fuss with the maids.
"Her Highness the Princess is even better off the stage!" The maids smiled and stood close to Lingchan. "No one will look at us slaves except Her Highness the Princess."
"My favorite princess!"
"I like Her Highness the Princess too!"
"I am the one who likes His Highness the most!"
A group of girls chattered and confessed their love to Lingchan. Lingchan's face turned red and she accepted them all without hesitation.
Squeak——
The wooden door rang.
Fuyaoguang stood in front of the door with a long body.
He was facing the light, and his hair looked fluffy under the golden sunlight, which made him even more cute.
Lingchan sat on Fuyaoguang's table, hugging her from left to right, as happy as a god, but she felt that she could vaguely see a trace of accusation in Fuyaoguang's eyes.
She wanted to laugh even more and asked the maids to leave first. Lingchan put her elbows on the table and said lazily: "Are you finally willing to show up?"
"If I don't come, you won't leave." Fuyaoguang saw it. He knew that avoiding was useless and Lingchan would not give up.
"Who told you to avoid me?" Ling Chan was angry at this point, "Yesterday we all went out to play together, and today you deliberately avoid me? You make me sad!"
"……Feel sorry."
"What's the use of apologizing? Can it make up for my broken mood!"
Lingchan snorted, "Tell me, why are you avoiding me?"
"It can't be that you want the position of city lord, right?"
Under the bright sun, the girl's features were bright and aggressive.
Fuyaoguang's chest once again felt suffocating, as if he had returned to that illusion again.
He took a step back.
Suddenly it disappeared.
Lingchan: "......?"
Lingchan waited in Fuyaoguang's room for a whole day and night.
No one came back, but they waited for the news that Fuyaoguang was out of the city to kill demons again.
...There are so many monsters to kill?
Ling Chan's face turned dark. When Bai Ruisong asked her about the date of her departure, she said angrily, "I'll wait until Fuyaoguang comes back! I'll see how long he can hide!"
Lingchan's little face was filled with anger, but Bai Ruisong only curled his eyes with a clear smile.
Bai: Great!
