Chapter 841 Long time no see
Skinny Monkey works for Xiaoxiang Tower and we can't afford to offend him.

Even Ling Fu, who had only been in the Northern Territory for two or three days, knew this.

And those who were already in the North knew it clearly.

No one was willing or dared to intervene in the conflict, not even an eyelid was raised.

Or rather, I dare not take another look.

"Behind Xiaoxiang Tower, there is the Shenzang Realm." Ling Fu lowered his voice and said, "And... it is in the outer city."

He certainly didn't know that his niece was no longer afraid of the Shenzang realm.

But Liu Sheng did not intend to expose his own cultivation easily.

After all, she still has an apparent identity.

The manager from the Snow Mountain.

But now it seems that this identity has become a shackle.

And she was very clear that someone had been following her since yesterday.

[I really want to open another account...]

Liu Sheng complained in his heart as he walked around the outer city with Ling Fu and Ruan Shizhi. Finally, they found a run-down tavern, ordered a bowl of hot pancake soup, and then walked back lazily.

Along the way, she saw many things.

Scenes like what we just saw are not uncommon.

Under this Great Wall, "people" seem to have become a kind of commodity.

Especially prisoners like Song Ru who are shackled and charged with "blasphemy" can be bought and sold at will and bullied by others, just like strange objects in a storage box.

No wonder people don't care at all.

I think it's commonplace.

When they returned to the small house where they were staying, the ban was lifted, and Liu Sheng said with certainty:

"Behind Xiaoxiang Tower, there is more than just the Shenzang Realm."

"What do you mean?" Ling Fu frowned.

"And there is the temple." Liu Sheng said calmly.

These words shocked Ling Fu's heart and his expression changed instantly.

"But... Xiaoxiang Tower clearly looks like an organization of ghost control. How could it be related to the Holy Temple..."

Before he finished speaking, he inexplicably reacted, his eyes flashed, and he whispered: "So that's it."

"It turns out... the so-called transaction is not really a transaction, but just a process of...transfer."

"Yes." Liu Sheng nodded, his expression becoming increasingly serious.

"In a small city like this, frequent 'human transactions' are unreasonable. If they really want to buy people back as concubines or servants, why would they do so frequently? Don't they need to cultivate loyalty? Unless... this is not a transaction at all, but some kind of... resource allocation."

Ling Fu nodded: "Indeed."

"Moreover, the strange aura of these people... has become quite complicated and unstable." Liu Sheng said in a deep voice.

"You mean..."

"These people are energy." Liu Sheng said affirmatively, "Just like spirit beads and spirit stones, they are used for cultivation and refining, so they are circulated like this."

Ling Fu's expression suddenly changed.

Ruan Shizhi's body swayed, his face turned pale, and he almost collapsed, as if he was thinking of something extremely terrifying.

"And the defenders here seem to be very aware of this matter and turn a blind eye." Ling Fu stroked his chin, "It seems... there is support from the inner city behind this. The North Territory may have become the territory of Xiaoxiang Tower that came out of nowhere."

This matter is not new to Liu Sheng.

And it has already happened.

Ruan Shizhi was also very clear about it.

But he has his head down now, so I can't see his expression clearly.

"It seems we have to be more careful. If General Hubei is already standing on the side of Xiaoxiang Tower..."

Ling Fu was interrupted abruptly by Ruan Shizhi before he could finish his words.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

He shook his head violently, his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse in a way that he could not conceal.

"It can't possibly be my mother!"

He tried hard to suppress his anger, but his eyes were already bloodshot from the emotional agitation, as if they were about to burst at any moment. Only then did Ling Fu realize that Ruan Shizhi was acting strangely.

Liu Sheng then remembered that he had never introduced him.

"Ahem, I forgot to mention that he is the son of General Hubei."

I was in a hurry last night and had no time to take care of Ruan Shizhi.

The main reason was that Ling Fu really didn't notice this sinister and timid young man hiding in the corner and keeping silent, so Liu Sheng naturally forgot about him.

Moreover, this identity has not played any role so far...

When Ling Fu heard this, his expression froze and he looked in disbelief.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ruan Shizhi carefully for a few times, then shook his head: "I don't remember the general's child looking like this..."

This sentence made Ruan Shizhi choke and his face turned red, and he was very angry.

"Relax and tell me what you think." Liu Sheng said soothingly.

Ruan Shizhi suddenly felt like a punctured balloon, deflated.

"My mother...she would never allow this to happen under her nose!"

"Even if she cooperated with Xiaoxiang Tower, she would never allow the army to be so corrupt! There must be something wrong here!"

As he spoke, his voice became almost hoarse, and his eyes, which almost never shed tears, now showed a hint of red.

"Don't worry, I will never allow it." Liu Sheng said softly.

Ruan Shizhi didn't understand what this sentence meant at the time, but after a while, as the howling of wind and snow outside became increasingly sharp, even breaking through the blockade of the ban, a dull knocking sound suddenly rang out.

Ruan Shizhi was stunned.

knocking?
Who would knock on the door here? Except the soldiers...

No, these officers and soldiers would definitely not be so polite.

The knocking continued.

Ruan Shizhi suddenly shuddered.

He realized that this voice...

Not from outside the door.

But...inside the house.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he almost jumped up.

He turned his eyes tremblingly towards the inside of the house, trying to figure out where the sound came from in this simple house.

Finally, his eyes fell on the broken bed board.

An eye was staring at him quietly through the gap in the bed.

"Strange! Strange! There is something strange!"

He screamed.

"Calm down. The ban is not lifted now. Are you shouting so loudly for everyone to hear?"

As Ling Fu spoke, he once again looked at Ruan Shizhi with suspicion, as if he was still thinking about the fact that Ruan Shizhi was actually the "son of the General Hubei".

"Ban, ban, what, when was it closed?" Ruan Shizhi's voice trembled, his eyes fixed on the eye that was still rolling around.

"It was when the guests came just now." Liu Sheng replied calmly and reopened the ban casually.

And the guest that Liu Sheng was talking about slowly pushed open the bed and sat up under Ruan Shizhi's eyes.

The half-white hair and the face full of ruthlessness were very different from the naive and innocent girl Liu Sheng had first met.

Ruan Shizhi widened his eyes and watched the girl slowly reveal a bloody smile to him, his heart almost stopping.

Fortunately, he had no heartbeat.

"you you you you……"

But no one paid attention to Ruan Shizhi's trembling voice.

The girl simply raised her head and looked at Liu Sheng, whose true face had been revealed. With half of her tongue missing, she uttered a series of unclear syllables with difficulty:

"Long time no see, Miss Liu."

Liu Sheng was stunned, then smiled.

"Long time no see, Miss Song."
