Chapter 690 Nothing

At the roast lamb shop on the street, Taibai Sword Immortal used his long sword to cut off the meat from the roast lamb leg and put it into his mouth while shaking his head and sighing:

"Alas, they still managed to escape."

"There's nothing we can do, it's because we have connections." Liu Sheng also sighed.

Just now, High Priest Elaine had clearly asked the key point and was only one step away from exposing these two evil priests, but she didn't expect that she would get stuck at this step.

A high priest suddenly descended from the sky.

When the horse-faced priest named "Haike" saw him, he immediately shouted "Uncle" at the top of his voice.

So everyone knew that the matter ended here.

It is not possible to pursue the matter for the time being.

We can only turn to investigate the missing strange object and why the strange aura completely disappeared.

Eventually, nearly ten priests arrived, went into the alleys and searched everywhere, almost tearing down all the houses in the area.

As a result, Liu Sheng and Taibai Sword Immortal, who were hiding their auras and spying in the dark, had to leave.

But what needs to be dealt with has been dealt with.

The culprit has had his evil spirit absorbed by Liu Sheng and has been put into the [Taotie Prison] in Skynet.

This was something Liu Sheng specifically asked Wen Weilan to borrow. Once it was grafted into Skynet, all the vicious creatures that had committed murders that Skynet came into contact with during its deployment would be thrown into it for trial and imprisonment for reform.

As more and more strange creatures were collected, if they were placed indiscriminately, there might be trouble later, so Liu Sheng came up with this idea.

Fortunately, Wen Weilan was able to cooperate with her and even took on the responsibility of judging personally.

……

It was already dark at this time, so the two of them simply found a roast lamb restaurant to satisfy their appetite.

"Fortunately, we still have a backup plan. Those two priests can't escape. It's just a matter of time."

As he spoke, Liu Sheng glanced at the long sword of Taibai Sword Immortal and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Then he raised his hand and asked the store owner for another roasted lamb leg.

"If you have a backup plan, why do you need an extra leg?" Taibai Sword Immortal looked at Liu Sheng innocently, "Isn't it okay if I give you a piece to eat?"

Liu Sheng said calmly: "Have you forgotten that your sword... was covered with something else not long ago."

After saying this, Taibai Sword Immortal's action of stringing the meat slices together with his sword and raising it to his mouth suddenly stopped.

Then there was the sound of violent vomiting.

This immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding guests.

The customers who were originally sitting near them immediately moved away, and some even asked the store owner to change seats.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper carefully covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, walked over with a nervous look on his face, and asked loudly: "Dear guests, may I ask... Is this old man in good health?"

Liu Sheng and Taibai Jianxian immediately understood that what everyone was worried about was the so-called "strange disease".

"No, no, of course not!"

Taibai Sword Immortal quickly waved his hands to explain, then silently performed the cleansing technique taught by Liu Sheng, thoroughly cleaning the sword and also cleaning the oil stains on his body.

This is also the purpose of Liu Sheng teaching this technique - he really couldn't stand seeing Taibai Sword Immortal wearing white clothes and being sloppy every day.

It’s so obvious!
However, this flash of inspiration made everyone in the store feel at ease.

The guests around gradually returned to their seats, and one of them smiled and joked to Taibai Jianxian: "Brother, I was a little worried about you, but when I saw your trick, I immediately felt relieved."

Taibai Sword Immortal asked in confusion: "What?"

"After all, words are not enough. How can we easily believe you when you say you are not sick? But when we see that you can still perform magic and are a cultivator, we are immediately relieved."

The shopkeeper came over with a smile and placed a deliciously roasted leg of lamb in front of Liu Sheng.

"Why, it's impossible for a cultivator to contract a strange disease?"

Liu Sheng asked calmly, then delicately cut the lamb leg into slices, dipped it in pepper and salt and put it into his mouth.

A girl next to her immediately responded, "It's not impossible, but at least I haven't heard of it so far. Those who contract strange diseases are all mortals who don't practice cultivation."

She spoke very loudly.

Many of the guests around were also mortals. They seemed to think that what she said was very unlucky and looked at her with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Liu Sheng also looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the girl looked very young and her face was red from drinking.

Her colorful braids were scattered down, and her hairstyle was still in the Mobei style, but she was wearing a sky-blue dress in the Tang style, with a hazy spiritual light and a dark light flowing. It was obvious that the dress was a spiritual weapon, and there was a token hanging in a conspicuous place on her waist, with three big characters "Tianque Sect" engraved on it. Accompanying her was a young man with a round and soft face that looked like a white dumpling at first glance. He was very reserved in his gestures, wearing the same sky-blue dress and a high crown unique to the Tang people. He must be a Tang person through and through.

The man gently tugged at the girl's sleeve and whispered, "Sister, keep your voice down. Don't attract too much attention..."

However, the girl didn't care. "It's okay. It's the truth! And we Mobei people speak loudly. We are not like you Tang people who are so clingy and shy."

This sentence is also easy to offend people.

Especially since there were two other Tang people present, luckily Liu Sheng and Taibai Sword Immortal didn't care too much and just ate meat and drank.

The man seemed to be accustomed to the senior sister's blunt words. He just sighed and did not argue with her.

But the girl was still unwilling to give up. She stretched out her hand and pulled the man's snow-like face: "You are a soft persimmon. You should learn from us Mobei people to be straightforward. Don't be so soft and easy to be bullied. You are really bringing shame to your mother!"

Hearing this familiar name, Liu Sheng couldn't help but look at the man a few more times, and finally recognized that this person was Ruan Shizhi, whom he knew.

Her heart tightened slightly, and she secretly thanked herself for having used a disguise charm to conceal her true appearance early on. Although this place was not the Tang Kingdom, as a "dead person", it was always better to be careful.

[But wasn’t he originally in the academy? ]

[I heard from Li Ming that the Honghu Project is preparing to expand its candidate pool... Isn't this a steady development? ]

[Why did you suddenly come here? ]

Fortunately, Liu Sheng is not the only one who has so many doubts.

The girl was also quite curious and asked, "Junior brother, aren't you doing well in the National Academy? Why do you suddenly want to transfer to Tianque Sect? It's such a pity. After graduating from the National Academy, you might be able to pass the entrance exam to the Temple."

Ruan Shizhi shook his head: "Impossible, with my qualifications, it's impossible..."

"And I'm following the Honghu Project. Judging from your majesty's intention, I'm afraid it's not heading towards the temple..."

"Even if you don't enter the temple, it would be nice to find an official position in Chang'an." The girl said with a smile.

"As for following your mother into the army, forget it. Especially going to the North... I'm scared just thinking about it."

As she spoke, she shuddered exaggeratedly.

But Ruan Shizhi just shook his head, "It was all arranged by my mother..."

The girl obviously heard that Ruan Shizhi didn't want to talk, so she smiled and said with emotion: "I think so. The general is really a strange woman. This arrangement is really confusing. She actually wants her only son to go to the snow mountain..."

Liu Sheng's heart was slightly moved, [Going to the snowy mountain? Going to the same snowy mountain with us? ]

"And it's just chores." The girl lamented.

【? ? ? 】

Ruan Shizhi said hesitantly: "It may not be possible..."

The girl was silent for a while, raised her glass and took a swig, then sighed, "That's right, this time all the disciples from the four major sects and the eight blessed lands are here, just to fight for this menial position... Tsk, this is really crazy."

Ruan Shizhi nodded silently.

The girl sighed heavily and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that in this world, as a disciple of Tianque Sect, I would have to rush to do menial work..."

The more Liu Sheng listened, the weirder it seemed.

[Why, is this road suddenly so popular? ]

【Don't worry, we have a letter of introduction. 】

The girl looked angry and said, "You are lucky because you have a letter of introduction from your mother, a master of the Shenzang realm, but what about me?"

【…】

The girl seemed to be getting more and more agitated as she drank, and her voice became louder. The people around her couldn't help but look at her sideways when they heard the words "your mother" and "a master in the Shenzang realm".

All eyes were cast towards Ruan Shizhi, as if they wanted to see what the child of a master in the Shenzang realm looked like.

Ruan Shizhi was obviously a little uncomfortable. He lowered his head and fiddled with the food in the bowl with chopsticks.

Afterwards, Liu Sheng could see the unconcealed disappointment in these eyes, as if they were saying - how could the descendant of a master in the Shenzang realm look like such a soft and glutinous snow-white ball?

"Why, do you feel embarrassed to rely on connections?" The girl asked loudly, pressing on, "Isn't it honorable? Or, is it unfair?"

Ruan Shizhi looked embarrassed and pulled her sleeve to remind her: "Senior sister...it's better not to say it here. Besides, relationships...may not be useful..."

The girl laughed mockingly, "Haha, even if it may not work, it's better than nothing!"

At the end, the girl's voice finally lowered.

"I have nothing... nothing at all..."
