They all became female demons after being reborn.

Chapter 84 Proof of Virginity

Before long, Wu Cheng bid farewell to Sima Zhong, went next door to find Xue Jianren, and the three of them left Zuixiangju and returned to the restaurant.

Qingque, Bai Suyi, and Bodhidharma are still waiting here.

Seeing the three return, Bai Suying looked at Wu Cheng with great interest, "Junior brother is so fast~"

Wu Cheng's face darkened, and he ignored her, letting Qing Que come up and quickly check his body.

After the examination was completed, Qingque said calmly, "Your Highness is still a virgin."

Wu Cheng asked curiously, "How did you figure that out?"

Qingque grasped his wrist and asked, "Your Highness, can you see this white line here?"

Wu Cheng looked down and saw a white line on the inside of his wrist, but he'd always had it, so what could be wrong with it? "What's wrong with this?"

Qingque pursed her lips and remained silent. Bai Suyi, however, held a wine cup in her hand and explained with a smile, "Just as a woman has a mark on her arm to indicate her virginity, this white line is proof that a boy is a virgin."

"There's such a saying?" Wu Cheng subconsciously turned his head to look at Xue Jianren and the other two.

Xue Jianren showed his wrist, and naturally there was no white line.

He chuckled awkwardly, "Actually, I used to frequent brothels in my younger days..."

Wu Cheng then looked at Sun Kewang, who also didn't have one on his wrist.

"Your Highness, I have been married for many years."

Wu Cheng finally looked at Bodhidharma, "Master...you wouldn't also..."

'

"Amitabha." Bodhidharma showed his wrist, where there was indeed a white line.

Wu Cheng immediately smiled, "The master truly understands me!"

After laughing and joking for a while, Xue Jian finally asked, "Your Highness, who did that纨绔少爷 (wán kù shǎo yé, a spoiled young master) want you to see?"

Wu Cheng laughed and said, "That man is Sima Xun's son, Sima Zhong. He said he would take me to see his sister, Sima Yue, tomorrow at noon. Oh, by the way, his sister is the commander of the Demon Suppression Guard."

"That's interesting." Bai Suying smiled. "She sent the An siblings to investigate the children's unexplained disappearances, but the highest-ranking official listed in Yuan Hao's account books and the Iron Buddha Temple's register is her father, Sima Xun. I just wonder if this Commander Sima will uphold justice and punish his own family, or will he cover up for his relatives?"

She recalled her previous life, but had no recollection of Sima Yue.

However, her first visit to Lin'an was more than a decade later when her junior brother was surrounded, and she never came to Lin'an again after that.

It seems that Sima Yue had either disappeared by then, or had died young.

Since she was no longer there, it had nothing to do with her junior brother being surrounded, so Bai Suying stopped paying attention to it.

"Then I'll go see her tomorrow and see if I can find any information. But she'll definitely recognize me, and I won't be able to keep up the act then."

"This can be seen as a warning shot, let's see what other tricks Sima Xun has up his sleeve," Wu Cheng said. "I will go to the palace to see my father first thing tomorrow morning. If everything goes well, the palace will send someone to invite Master Bodhidharma to the palace to preach."

"At noon I went to Situ Zhong to alert him, and at night I went directly to Sima Xun's door."

Xue Jianren said, "Your Highness, why not request His Majesty to issue an order to investigate this matter?"

"My father is kind-hearted by nature," he said. "Even if he did investigate, he would only lift a heavy hand and let it fall lightly. Sima Xun would at most be demoted and sent to a remote post. It would be useless."

A knight-errant uses martial arts to break the law; it's one thing to refrain from chivalrous acts before practicing martial arts.

Now that I've practiced martial arts and am not weak at it, if I still have to obediently watch that bastard get away with it, then what the hell is the point of practicing martial arts?

"Alright, let's go take a look at the house my father bestowed upon me. We'll stay there tonight."

Wu Cheng stood up, put down his wine glass, and glanced back at Shen Tu Lie.

Shen Tu Lie quickly waved his hand, "I won't go. If you have business to support, come find me at Fushengtang in Tianshui Lane, south of the city."

After saying that, he turned and left, giving Wu Cheng no chance to stop him.

Of course, Wu Cheng didn't try to stop him.

After watching Shen Tu Lie leave, Wu Cheng said, "There's one more thing. Since Shen Tu Lie was here, it wasn't convenient for him to say more. We also encountered Shen Yeshu and that Master of the Extinction of Emotions at Zuixiangju."

Bai Suying's eyes sharpened instantly. "Why have they come to Lin'an? Junior brother, are they here for you?"

"It shouldn't be." Wu Cheng said with a righteous expression. "Good and evil cannot coexist. I am mortal enemies with the Demonic Sect! Although Shen Yeshu did want me to go with her, they left after I firmly refused."

"So I think they must have come to Lin'an on some business and just happened to run into me. But Shen Tu Lie led me there, and he also admitted that the Burial Path has already sided with the Extinction Path."

Bai Suyi pondered for a moment before saying, "Perhaps it's for Sun Lang's treasure vault."

"Sun Lang's Treasure Vault?" Wu Cheng asked疑惑地, "If it's for Sun Lang's Treasure Vault, then why did you give me the key back in Shen Family Village?"

"I don't know," Bai Suyi shook her head.

In the previous life, the six keys to Sun Lang's Treasure Vault were indeed obtained by Shen Yeshu, the leader of the Demonic Sect. However, it seems that Sun Lang's Treasure Vault did not cause any trouble in the martial arts world, and the Demonic Sect did not stir up any storm in Lin'an.

The one who is strong is Shen Yeshu, not some Sun Langbaoku.

Wu Cheng asked, "Should we keep an eye on them?"

"No need. What they're doing is none of our business. Besides, they might be making things easier for us by stirring up trouble in Lin'an." Bai Suyi didn't want Wu Cheng to get involved with the future Demon Lord who would unify the three sects and six paths of the Demonic Sect.

"Alright, it's settled then," Wu Cheng said with a smile. "Let's go, I still want to see what the mansion my father bestowed upon me is like."

The emperor's bestowed residence was located on the back street of the Zhenmowei Yamen (Demon Suppression Guard Office). It was a three-courtyard house, not particularly grand in appearance, but quiet and tidy.

When Wu Cheng arrived, a young eunuch from Guiyue Palace came up to greet him, saying that the Imperial Concubine had sent him to serve Wu Cheng, and also gave him twenty palace servants as a reward.

However, these twenty palace maids were both old and... looked quite human. It was unclear where they had found so many strange palace maids.

Wu Cheng didn't pay much attention and handed these people over to Qingque for management.

Xue Jianren and the other two were arranged to stay in the outer courtyard, their senior sister stayed in the back courtyard, Wu Cheng stayed in the middle second courtyard, and Qing Que said she would serve him, so she also stayed in the second courtyard.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Wu Cheng got up, washed up, had breakfast, and then went to the palace.

The emperor was quite interested when he heard that Wu Cheng had brought a foreign monk, and after sending someone to invite him, he had Wu Cheng pay his respects.

Bai Suying said she had something to do and went out. Qingque was busy managing the household, and Xue Jianren also took Sun Kewang to visit his father's friend.

Wu Cheng then went to wait for Sima Zhong alone.

Before long, Sima Zhong arrived alone.

He then looked Wu Cheng up and down, and seeing that he was dressed well today, he nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, you do have some style."

As he spoke, he took out a thousand-tael silver note and stuffed it into Wu Cheng's arms. "This is a deposit. If you do well today, the rest of the gold will be given to you. If you don't succeed, this silver is yours too."

"You're so generous, young master!" Wu Cheng said with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting. Then he asked, "Where shall we go to see your sister?"

Sima Zhongdao said, "The Demon Suppression Guard Office!"
