Chu Danqing looked at the three items that came out of the treasure chest; they were all quite good.

Because the main focus is on the headless scholar, the items obtained tend to be vengeful ghosts.

The Blood-Written Petition for Wrongful Accusation is quite interesting; it can actually reduce attributes, which is a good thing.

It is estimated that quite a few top apostles would be willing to buy it.

As for the backlash? It's only 30 days. At worst, I can use it on myself in the amusement park.

For most apostles, it was indeed used to weaken the enemy.

However, for top-tier apostles, it's used to delay progress.

To avoid ruining oneself, after all, even top apostles don't always have smooth sailing, there will always be unexpected events that require a break.

Chu Danqing didn't need to do that, because he didn't encounter any difficulties that required him to stop and rest.

"However, for top-tier apostles, this thing probably won't be very effective."

"Even for me, unless I actively accept the curse, it would be difficult to lose even 0.1%."

The fact that this consumable item has no pity system is a major drawback.

This caused the value to drop significantly.

Chu Danqing himself is not capable, but he still faces several difficulties when the curse truly falls upon him.

First came the shield, then Da Yu and Da Hui, followed by Da Bai and Da Hua.

Only after passing these four trials can one face Chu Danqing directly.

Furthermore, the effect of the Yin-Yang Pool transfer and compensation for the chosen ones must also be considered.

So even a loss of 0.1% is unlikely.

"The only thing we can use is the 'last shot' wine, which we can give to Da Bao," Chu Danqing muttered.

As for the 100-point constitution requirement? Da Bao's only issue is that his base stats don't reach 100 points.

"The downside is that it only lasts for one minute, but it also has an area-of-effect damage effect, which is not bad."

Da Bao's mental attribute is determined by his physical attribute, so there's no need to worry about not being close enough.

After finishing the task, Chu Danqing quietly returned to the city with Da Bao.

After easily sneaking back to the inn, he began his daily training.

It wasn't until early the next morning that only Lu Wanyi noticed Chu Danqing had left.

After leaving Huangye City, Chu Danqing asked, "No, Aunt Lu, how did you find out?"

“I asked Lady Linshui to protect you, Chu Ge’er, so that you wouldn’t harm him in the middle of the night,” Lu Wanyi said helplessly. “But Lady Linshui suddenly turned that protection back on me in the middle of the night.”

“I knew it was you, Brother Chu, who left the inn.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing exclaimed, "So, someone this weak can still have an advantage?!"

As for protection, he didn't feel it.

Any external force that tries to be applied to him must get past his shield.

Unfortunately, the goddess of the water was too weak, so weak that she was as dusty as dust and could not trigger the shield's effect at all; she was simply blocked outside.

Then, the area of ​​protection of the Goddess of the Water is small, and she can only protect one person.

As a result, Chu Danqing returned to Lu Wanyi as soon as she left.

Therefore, Lu Wanyi knew that Chu Danqing had gone out.

"So, Brother Chu, where did you go last night?" Lu Wanyi asked. "It's not that I, this old woman, insist on asking, but it's dangerous outside, so it's best not to do anything reckless."

"You're the only son left in your family, so you should find a wife to carry on the family line, so as not to..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing's eyes widened in surprise.

I've been an orphan for so many years, and I'm still being pressured to get married?!

Indeed, the more experiences you have, the more you can see.

"Stop, stop, ma'am, let's talk about this later," Chu Danqing quickly said. "Here's what happened..."

Chu Danqing didn't hide anything and told Lu Wanyi everything that happened last night. After hearing it, Lu Wanyi's desire to urge them to get married vanished.

Even after Zhang Shanfu from that ditch died, things wouldn't stop. She was already in Huangye City, and they were still chasing after her to kill her.

For a moment, she felt that the emperor was most likely not her child and must have died back then.

She hasn't done anything morally wrong, so there's no reason for her to give birth to such a thing.

It's true that Zhang Shanfu did the bad things, but without the emperor backing him up, how could he have dared to do such things?

It was dealt with long ago.

Moreover, it was the emperor who arranged for Zhang Shanfu to come to Lianzhou; if it wasn't his problem, whose problem could it be?

"This Lianzhou, oh dear." Lu Wanyi sighed. There was no point in saying anything now.

"It's alright. Once we've recognized each other as relatives, your son can settle accounts with them." Chu Danqing knew that things were beyond repair.

“Yes, that’s how it should be.” Lu Wanyi agreed with Chu Danqing’s statement.

As for taking action, Lu Wanyi had no choice but to do something, but Chu Danqing certainly did.

"Speaking of which, how many more days until we reach Dongdu Prefecture?" Lu Wanyi was already quite impatient.

She didn't go before because this matter involved only her.

But now, she feels she has accumulated too much negative karma.

Especially if this emperor really is her biological son.

"Soon, in about five or six more days." Chu Danqing quickly calculated, "We're not slow."

It has been three days since we set off.

Although Chu Danqing encountered some problems along the way, she also gained a lot.

Unfortunately, I didn't trigger a single side quest; they were all hidden quests.

This means that the rest of the trial mission should all take place in Dongdu Prefecture, which is why there is no side quest.

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon," Lu Wanyi said softly. "I just hope we don't encounter any more of these unpleasant things along the way."

"That's not up to me," Chu Danqing replied. "It would be best if Zhang Shanfu didn't cause any trouble."

"But then again, I haven't been wanted yet, so it seems the cleanup was pretty good."

Chu Danqing thought about his journey and realized that most of the people who had died were powerful and influential.

Fortunately, he handled the aftermath well and ran away quickly; otherwise, it would have been really difficult to deal with him if he had been caught.

"Right, I remember that gods have a good sense of smell, so why didn't they use their scent to locate you?" Chu Danqing realized this.

Chu Danqing and Da Bao don't need to worry, because there is a shield, so no scent will be left.

But Lu Wanyi will stay.

"Well," Lu Wanyi smiled, "Brother Chu, do you believe I could commit a crime? Besides, I wasn't even at the scene."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

“That makes sense.” Lu Wanyi was an old woman, and with her strong old-age smell combined with the body odor from being a beggar for so many years, it was easy to tell her identity.

Is it possible for an old beggar to do these things?
In addition, Lu Wanyi was not present at the scene.

Chu Danqing always made sure she was taken care of during his operations, so it was even less likely that the investigation would be conducted on her without any reason.

As for using her as a scapegoat, that's even more outrageous.

Even scapegoats need to be logical; essentially, it's about fulfilling a task rather than simply fooling people.

Even if you're going to find someone, you should find someone strong and healthy to be a scapegoat, or simply find some low-class people who believe in wild gods.

This way, the reason will be more convincing, and it will be more effective in dealing with the inspection.

The deceased was the emperor's brother-in-law and a marquis. If they dared to deceive the court, the court would dare to send them to fill the hole.

"Something's not right. How come there are two more people?" The black-haired rat demon, who had transformed into a burly man, sensed something was amiss.

It led its four brothers to the inn and found out the location through some clever tricks.

With the amnesty issued by the Prince of Fanyang, they naturally disregarded the divine intervention.

"The temple only serves the same old dishes, but the waiter clearly said there were three people." The green-haired rat demon also looked puzzled.

"Brother, we need to think this through carefully," the yellow-haired rat demon added, wanting to escape.

The black-haired rat demon saw through the red-haired rat demon's thoughts at a glance and immediately said, "The more this is the case, the more it proves that the pearl is on that person."

"In my opinion, they are probably heading to the Eastern Capital."

"We must retrieve the jewel before they arrive."

The black-haired rat demon left the four rat demons puzzled, so the red-haired rat demon hurriedly asked, "Brother, wouldn't that be even better? Once they enter the Eastern Capital Prefecture, they'll be trapped like turtles in a jar."

The Prince of Fanyang lived in the Eastern Capital Prefecture, as did all the princes.

"Fool!" the black-haired rat demon cursed. "We came here to earn merit."

"If they really get into the Eastern Capital and still haven't retrieved the pearl, will we get the credit?"

"Do you really think this is some kind of easy job?" the black-haired rat demon said coldly. "Good things don't come our way."

"But even so, this kind of hard work is also an opportunity for us."

"As long as we can get the pearl and show our face in front of the prince, our status and position will inevitably be raised."

The black-haired rat demon knew that its four brothers truly lived up to the description of "shortsightedness," but it didn't want to live like that for the rest of its life.

It also wants to be a loyal subject of the emperor, even if it cannot live openly and honestly, it still wants to spend its old age in peace.

Instead of dying one day because of some random mission.
