Those years, those jokes, those scum

Chapter 299: Immortals and Demons Go Against the Odds, Geniuses Never Die 3

"This incident happened in a very strange way. On my way to meet you, I saw a figure with a black aura on his body."

"Are you sure that it was a demon?"

Tang Saxiao shook his head. "I'm not too sure either, so I followed him to confirm."

"Then did you see the true face of that figure?" Liang Fei asked the key question.

"No. The figure was covered from head to toe by a large black robe. I couldn't see anything."

Two girls surrounded Tang Saxiao and asked curiously. On the other side, Zhou Tong and Ni Yuan worked together to clean up the battlefield.

"Uncle Leng, they have been laid to rest in peace again." After a while, the two of them came back to report.

"Thank you for your hard work." Leng Nuan nodded to them to show that she understood.

She once again looked at the deep forest, thinking. From the fight just now, it can be seen that the puppets are operated by vines. After the vines are peeled off from their bodies, they lose their ability to move, and their aggressiveness may be a little tricky for ordinary people. But for people with martial arts or cultivation, there is no threat. Of course, if they are mass-produced, the effect will be different.

Another thing that made her feel strange was that she had just flown around with her sword and did not see any cemetery nearby. So where did these bodies come from? They couldn't have been brought here directly.

"These demons are so vicious that they even take advantage of the dead!" Tang Jingxuan said angrily.

"Everyone speed up today and reach Taikang City." Leng Nuan gathered everyone together and said this, then flew away on his sword.

People like them who practice cultivation rarely interact with ordinary people. When it comes to training, they usually either travel on their own, which takes a long time. Another way is for the sect to take over the tasks in the secular world and send disciples to handle them.

However, the team led by Leng Nuan this time did not belong to these two categories. Therefore, when they arrived in Kangtai City, no one arranged to receive them in advance. The group found an inn in the city to stay. After everything was settled, Leng Nuan did not let them rest in their respective rooms, but took them to sit in a corner of the noisy hall.

"Senior Sister, why do we have to sit here instead of in the private room upstairs?" Ni Zhou, who was coming down the mountain for the first time, asked in a puzzled voice.

He looked at the various people in the hall, some were dressed luxuriously, some were simply dressed, some were elegant, and some were vulgar. No matter how he looked at them, it seemed like this group of people was out of place here.

"You don't understand this. The more crowded and chaotic the place is, the more information you can get." She still understood this principle. But she didn't expect that Master Leng, who rarely went down the mountain, looked like he knew a lot about the secular world. You know, people like them who have been in the world of cultivation since birth know very little about the world of ordinary people.

"How about I go out and ask around?" Compared to them, he had more opportunities to move around in the lower world and knew more about it, so Tang Saxiao volunteered.

"No hurry, wait." Leng Nuan stopped him.

The dusk was deep, and the afterglow enveloped the whole town in a warm yellow. As the meal time approached, the hall was bustling with people. Diners sat around wooden tables, either eating big mouthfuls of food or talking loudly about interesting things in the underworld. The waiters were busy shuttling among the crowd, shouting one after another.

They listened carefully to the sounds in the hall, trying to identify useful information from it. They waited for a long time, but still did not get any relevant clues, but they waited for a guest who was just as out of place as them.

At first, no one paid attention to them until they walked from the hall to the shopkeeper's counter. As they left their mark, the noisy hall suddenly became silent.

"Boss, is there anyone still going to the upper room?"

"Oh, yes. How many do you want?"

"One room." Zhuohua took out some silver from his sleeve and handed it over, saying, "The rest will be considered a reward."

"Hey, thanks girl!"

The shopkeeper, who was already very happy, smiled even more widely. He quickly called the waiter and told him to entertain the distinguished guest.

The master and servant followed the waiter and walked steadily towards the stairs. When they reached the corner of the stairs, the woman walking at the back, who was wearing a gorgeous white cloak and a white veil, glanced at Leng Nuan's table as if by accident.

After the two figures had completely left, Leng Nuan looked up at the place where they were just now.

"Oh my goodness, which wealthy family does this lady come from? A maid is so stunningly beautiful, and the lady wearing a veil is even more amazing!"

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Someone with this kind of bearing is definitely not an ordinary person. Who knows..." The person who answered looked around carefully, covered his mouth, and then continued to guess: "Who knows, she might be a daughter of an official family."

"Speaking of which, in the whole city, only Miss Lin can be compared with her in terms of temperament."

When talking about this topic, the person who was excited about gossiping just now changed his tone, and said with regret and indignation: "It is really unfair for such kind people like Mr. Lin and Miss Lin to be invaded by evil spirits and suffer such torture!"

When Tang Saxiao heard this, he felt he had grasped the key point. He quickly stood up and sat over, asking with a curious look on his face.

"My two brothers, this Mr. Lin is..."

"Even Mr. Lin doesn't know. You must be from out of town, right?" The person at the next table happened to hear it and turned around to interrupt.

Soon, they understood the whole story through everyone's talking.

Mr. Lin's full name is Lin Wensheng. He is rich but generous. Over the past few decades, he has built schools and funded students from poor families. He also opens a porridge shop every year to help refugees affected by disasters. Mrs. Lin is devoted to Buddhism and often goes to temples to pray and donate. The concubines of the Lin family also live in harmony and the family is peaceful.

The two sons of the Lin family were not only good-looking, but also very self-disciplined. Before they got married, they didn't even have a concubine. What's more precious is that they were both good-looking and talented. The eldest son worked in the Hanlin Academy. The second son inherited his father's business talent and managed his family property in an orderly manner.

The eldest daughter of the Lin family, who was born late in life and grew up doted on by Ji Wanjia, did not develop a willful and unruly character. Instead, she developed a righteous character and often went out to help girls who were harassed by playboys.

"Logically speaking, such a family should be protected by good deeds. Why is there such a deep hatred?"

Standing under a big tree not far from the Lin family compound, Liang Fei stared for a long time before he discovered the looming black air in this seemingly peaceful place.
