New and dark light years

Chapter 244 The Scholar Values ​​Marriage

Tang Nan returned home through the secret passage.

He had just sat down when he saw 'Weiwei' walk over.

"Master, what did they say over there?" Weiwei asked.

"That kid's soul is barely usable; it can transform into a small ghost, but that's about it," Tang Nan sighed.

Weiwei whispered, "It's my fault for not doing things well."

"It's none of your business." Tang Nan waved his hand: "You two didn't spend enough time together. If you could have spent another month together and then lied to him that you were pregnant with his child, the resentment would have been even stronger, and you might have become a great monster. It's a bit of a pity."

Weiwei didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Tang Nan said, "Don't worry, we keep our word. You just need to help me trick three more kids, and I'll set you free."

Weiwei nodded gently.

Tang Nan walked to the door and then asked, "By the way, have you found any news about that scholar I asked you to track last time?"

“I’ve got it.” Weiwei said softly, “The steward said he lives in a small courtyard in the south of the city and has also bought a maid. He seems to be a scholar who has come here to study.”

"He bought a house as soon as he arrived, so his family must be quite well-off." Tang Nan asked, "What does he usually do?"

"I usually just wander around, and occasionally I go to brothels."

"Wow, he's incredibly rich. Let's find a way to get him; that way, his money and house will all be ours."

Vivi asked, "Which method?"

“These pedantic scholars value fate above all else. Let Qinqin meet him by chance; scholars generally prefer the refined, well-bred type.” Tang Nan thought for a moment, then suddenly turned and asked, “Has your virginity been restored?”

"not yet."

"Then go quickly. You need to rest and recuperate to restore your chastity. Once you've recovered, you'll be ready to come out and see people again."

Weiwei bowed slightly and then left.

Tang Nan went to his study, where a slightly disheveled middle-aged man was already waiting.

The other person sat unrestrainedly in the chair. When Tang Nan came in, he didn't get up, but just turned his head and said, "Old Tang, you've kept me waiting for a long time."

"There was nothing I could do. The higher-ups weren't too happy with that soul, and they scolded me." Tang Nan sat down.

"Sigh, it's not easy to find someone who can become a Great Ghost. It's already good enough to have a Lesser Ghost." The middle-aged man sneered twice: "To have a Great Ghost, either the Great Ghost has a good foundation, or you have enough time to 'refine' it. Right now, you have neither. It's already very impressive that you can produce a Lesser Ghost."

Tang Nan smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. There should be a fight breaking out in Huaxi County by now."

"Yeah, a fight broke out. Luckily, I escaped quickly, or I would have died in the melee too."

"That's good." Tang Nan smiled and said, "Could you keep an eye out for any loving couples or lovers among the martial arts world and introduce them to me?"

"What are you going to do now?"

"There's no other way. If you want to get your hands on a resentful soul, you have to put effort into matters of love and romance."

“Okay.” The middle-aged man stood up. “I will keep an eye out for you. By the way… the Demon Extermination Division’s Commander will be coming down soon. Be careful not to be discovered by them.”

"What are these stray dogs doing running down here?" Tang Nan asked impatiently.

On the other side, Li Lin returned to the front door of his 'home'.

But then they saw Xiaoping standing in the courtyard, and in front of her was an even smaller figure squatting on the ground, frantically shoveling porridge from a bowl.

Li Lin appeared in front of the courtyard.

Xiaoping was startled and knelt down without saying a word, her body trembling.

The smaller figure suddenly stood up, holding a bowl, and stood in front of Xiaoping.

This was a little boy. He was also very scared, his body was trembling, and he didn't even dare to look at Li Lin.

But he just kept holding the bowl, blocking Xiaoping's way.

"Who is he?" Li Lin asked.

“I… my younger brother!” Xiaoping still didn’t dare to look up: “Master, this porridge… is what I had left over from breakfast. I… didn’t steal any food from the house.”

younger brother?

Li Lin carefully examined the little boy and found that he was thinner than Xiao Ping. Most importantly, the little boy's clothes were so torn that they could barely cover his vital parts.

"Where are your parents?" Li Lin asked.

Xiaoping shook her head and said, "Last year, everyone died of illness. My uncles also took away my home. I was sold to a brokerage firm, and my younger brother, who is fast, is now begging outside."

Li Lin nodded gently: "In that case, your younger brother can work for me for now. There should be a few bolts of cloth left at home, so help him make a couple of sets of clothes." "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master," Xiao Ping said, kowtowing repeatedly with joy.

The little boy carefully placed the bowl aside first, and then knelt down as well.

"What's your younger brother's name?"

“Xiao Zhen,” Xiao Ping replied, “Father said it’s about seeking the truth.”

"Okay, go clean up your brother first."

"Thank you, Master."

Li Lin waved his hand and returned to his room.

For him, this was just a minor incident.

He came back this time to collect money.

He took the bundle out from under the bed, and a small paper figure was lying on it.

Then it jumped off the bundle and hid under the bed.

He opened the bundle and counted the large-denomination banknotes inside; there were only thirty left.

In just a few days, nearly a quarter of the money has been spent. It feels like money is flowing away like water.

No, I need to be careful with my spending.

Li Lin stuffed the bundle back under the bed, and then the little paper figure climbed back onto the bundle.

Its task is to keep an eye on this thing.

After Li Lin put away the silver notes, he went out of the room and saw Xiao Ping using a large tub to bathe her younger brother.

That bucket of water had almost turned black.

"Take care of the house. If you get hungry, cook for yourself, understand?"

Xiaoping nodded vigorously.

Li Lin strolled around the streets again.

He saw some martial arts figures returning from outside the city.

However, they all had some kind of injury on them.

Some of them were even missing limbs.

Li Lin observed these martial arts figures discreetly, and then he came to a conclusion.

A fight broke out in Huaxi County.

The treasure hasn't even been born yet, and they're already fighting?

Li Lin was glad he hadn't gone over to join the fun.

At that moment, Li Lin felt something rushing towards him.

He instinctively stepped back to the side.

Then a girl holding a white paper umbrella and dressed in a gorgeous red dress fell straight to the ground in front of him, landing face-first in the mud.

Two maids rushed over screaming, "Young lady, are you alright?"

"Young lady, does it hurt?"

Then came the sound of the girl sobbing as she fell.

Li Lin glanced at it only once before preparing to leave.

Just then, a maid suddenly blocked his way and said angrily, "What's wrong with you? You saw that the young lady was about to fall, and you didn't even help her up."

"I'll help her up?" Li Lin swished open his paper fan and said with a smile, "Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"

The maid was stunned when she saw Li Lin's smiling face, then blushed and lowered her head.

A crowd had already gathered around to watch.

Li Lin didn't want to be the butt of a monkey show, so he left.

Two maids helped the girl up.

The girl covered her face with a handkerchief and cried very sadly: "Caixin, Pinghua, my nose is bleeding! Will my face be ruined from the fall?"
