Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 174 Justice Strikes
The lecherous little bastard on the pleasure boat was indeed unreliable; he didn't seem like a lecherous devil at all.

All he could do was keep urging them to drink, trying to find a way to get these three under his control.

Even after trying everything, including rolling around naked in the room, it was no use.

The three scholars, on the contrary, began to chat about everything under the sun, still using classical Chinese phrases.

Holding a literary meeting here suddenly makes it seem more refined.

Other breakthroughs were also hard to find. Before the other ruddy-faced, muscular man even got close, a wave of heat swept over him, and a terrifying aura emanated from him like a spring.

He got just a little too close and his skin was almost burned black; the wine was spilled all over the ground.

I was utterly horrified. Was this some kind of righteous spirit?!
The matter that Lord Lei asked for must be with this person!
I immediately perked up my ears and listened intently for a while before I realized something: what was this person's name?
No one would have the surname Zao and be called "Zao Tongxue" (meaning "Zao classmate").

Since that's the case, the breakthrough point should be placed on that seemingly melancholy young man. This kind of greenhorn can't be really melancholy; he's just faking it.

It's nothing more than a few tricks to stand out and flirt with women.

Li Jiao'er straightened her chest and walked over, her various martial arts skills were quite astonishing.

Ning Caichen was displeased, especially by the mocking looks from the two people opposite him.

What does this mean?
Why don't you bother with someone like Brother Ji who looks so unserious, but instead provoke me?

They immediately borrowed the courtesan's guqin.

"I had a great time on the pleasure boat today, so I'll play a piece for everyone."

Ji Rui was shocked. "Brother Ning, please show mercy!"
Accompanied by the sound of golden bamboo, a love that transcends life and death is slowly revealed before everyone's eyes.

My heart is filled with sorrow, the pain of separation by death is piercing my soul, and the regret of unrequited love seeps into my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

Cry, all of you, cry!

The music silenced the entire pleasure boat. Both the boisterous guests and the dancing women stopped, and some of the more sentimental ones began to weep silently, followed by a chorus of sobs.

The madam was also crying, crying terribly.

How can we do business like this?
As the song ended, Young Master Ji sighed.

He originally planned to play all night, but Ning played him instead. The beauty in his arms was crying like a baby, looking at Ning Caichen with teary eyes.

They simply threw a handful of silver coins at them and told them to leave.

"Aren't you going to play anymore?"

"Hmph, you've played everyone on this ship."

Ning Caichen is practically a mood killer.

The three left, and the pleasure boat ceased operations.

Before leaving, Zao glanced back and thought, "Master Xu is right. This kind of place is the easiest place to get into trouble. That demon can sense the righteous energy, so how could he not sense that sinister energy?"

He immediately went to Master Mao and told him about it.

"It's alright. When Young Master Xu descends the mountain tomorrow, no evil spirits or heretics will be able to escape his punishment."

midnight.

The Painted Skin Demon skipped and hopped to Baoan Hall.

"Although we didn't manage to win over the young master, we may have found the culprit. One of them is named Zao, and he possesses a strong sense of righteousness that is quite terrifying."

What you want might just be in his hands.

Lei Huan nodded after listening, "That's certainly possible."

Even if Chongqi Academy is a place of outstanding people and abundant resources, it is impossible for everyone to be righteous.

It shouldn't be difficult for a scholar who has cultivated a noble spirit to awaken a scholar obsessed with revenge.

That night, he pondered ways to capture Hao Ran in Baoan Hall, after all, Hao Ran Qi was not someone to be trifled with.

Day two.

Xu Xuan descended the mountain.

Go directly to Master Mao; his vital energy should be almost restored by then.

Unexpectedly, it still fell short by a hair's breadth.

I overestimated the other party; it turns out that the unification of the three elements is not so simple.

The answer is given after careful study.

"Don't panic. As a rogue cultivator, I didn't know how to cleanse my soul before, so I got stuck at this step."

"If you want to continue to gather the power of your soul, you must understand yourself." "There is the Heart Sutra of Guanyin in that butterfly, which can help you complete this lesson."

"When these three things interact, if they flow in harmony, one becomes a human; if they flow against them, one produces the elixir."

"If you do well in the foundation building stage, you will be more stable later on."

"For example, I myself have a very solid foundation for nurturing the sacred embryo, which is why I can continue to grow."

Xu Xuan was emulating Ruoxu's actions from years ago, earnestly sharing the principles behind the door.

Master Mao's initial anxiety subsided, and he continued his seclusion.

As for what Zao-kun said about the monsters on the pleasure boat, that was a pleasant surprise.

"That's the end of this matter. Leave the rest to me."

"I, Xu, cannot stand such evil heretics running rampant in Qiantang."

Xu Xuan, who had just left the Ji family, was indeed very unhappy. These days, monsters are so arrogant that they even dare to venture into Qiantang.

He immediately went to the county government office to see if there were any strange criminal cases.

If someone has already committed a crime, they should be arrested and killed immediately; the order of Qiantang must not be disrupted.

Song Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his younger brother arrive. Zhao Hu had always been quite capable in handling matters.

But lately I haven't been able to help much; the little heart-digging assassin couldn't find any clues.

We still have to rely on my good brother.

"To kill someone and rip out their heart! What audacity!"

"The river channel dredging project continues, and this case has been handed over to me."

Xu Xuan went to the scene after leaving the county government office. After learning about the group of witnesses, he felt that it was a bit shocking and even mentally polluting.

"How could that demon do such a thing? Aren't you afraid of getting sick?"

"How terrifying!"

He headed straight to the West Lake to summon the deputy team leader and shouted a loud command.

"Xiao Qing!"

Pfft!
Water splashed and burst, and a beautiful figure flew out amidst a cloud of water vapor.

What a water demon king, a scourge to the mortal realm! Dressed in a green skirt, clad in silver armor, wearing battle boots, and wielding a divine sword, he exudes an awe-inspiring and unparalleled heroic spirit.

She landed on a square step on a stage, walked up to Xu Xuan, raised her little head, and struck a pose.

Xu Xuan naturally cooperated and asked the question.

"This outfit is truly imposing; Miss Qing is so majestic."

Xiaoqing smiled and narrowed her eyes when she got the answer she wanted. With a wave of her hand, her cloak turned into silver light and was stored in the bracelet on her wrist.

The girl was terrified by the demon in the salt official's house, so when she returned to West Lake, she naturally went to her sister to upgrade her equipment.

In Xu Xuan's words, there's no demon king who doesn't wear armor.

Miss Bai truly lived up to her reputation as a great demon of 1,700 years; she had everything.

Now Xiaoqing has transformed from a skilled thug into a very skilled and intelligent one.

Upon learning why Xu Xuan had sought her out, she was immediately filled with fighting spirit and wished she could go and chop that monster to pieces right away.

"No rush, let's be on the safe side."

"What do you mean by 'safe'? This is Qiantang, is there anyone we can't beat?"

Xiaoqing was even more confident than Xu Xuan. Wouldn't it be a waste if she didn't fight a few tough battles with all this armor?

"By the way, where's your sister? We've made some guesses about this brocade box, and we need her help."

Xu's tactics were like a gazelle hanging its horns, very unintentional.

However, the other side simply refused to engage in a fight and wouldn't take the bait.

"My sister has gone into seclusion. She said that the secrets of heaven have been in chaos recently, and she seems to be entangled in some major karmic entanglement, which she needs to resolve as soon as possible."

Xu felt a chill run down his spine. Could it be that he had discovered me?

Suddenly, Qiantang was no longer so safe.
