Fox You's face remained stiff for a long time before she gritted her teeth and said, "Master Lin Du, if you like this hibiscus jade, I will give it to you. The mechanism inside will stop working once you leave this Flower Jade Pavilion."

Even if it's hollow, such a large piece of hibiscus jade is still worth a fortune, a million spirit stones!

This is completely unpretentious.

Lin Du sighed, "I have an ice spirit root."

Hibiscus warm jade is really not very useful; it can only be sold for money.

I suggest giving money directly.

Fox has never met anyone more shameless and money-grubbing than himself in his entire life!

Oh, Lin Du's face is already worth enough money.

Fox You tearfully took out the money, but after paying, she discovered that Lin Du hadn't put the hibiscus jade back and was staring at it with great interest.

……

"The tools used in the crime must be confiscated." Lin Du put the hibiscus jade in his pocket.

Fox was so desperate that it wanted to howl and cry out that it had no money, but the shopkeeper seemed not to care at all and did not stop it.

The three followed Foxy to the backyard.

Lin Du was communicating telepathically with Cang Li, "Senior Brother, how much do you know about Fusifang? There must be some experts in this building? Is that why Senior Brother didn't let Senior Brother Juyuan act rashly?"

Brothels are known for their drunken brawls, with many thugs and even seasoned fighters. Even if Ju Yuan is a skilled fighter, he might not stand a chance if things really get out of hand.

"It was just a guess at first, but after your commotion today, I've learned some of the source of the information." Cang Li shook his wide sleeves, his features still clear and gentle.

"If the sect leader sends a telepathic message to Fox You, does that mean he's also in the building?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Li glanced at Lin Du in surprise. This junior sister was fortunate that she hadn't been accepted as a disciple by Ju Yuan.

Even if Ju Yuan lived another thousand years, he probably still couldn't raise someone as quick-witted as Lin Du.

"Not necessarily. Each ward master of Fusi Ward never appears in public, and no one knows his whereabouts. Once he appears in public and is exposed, there is only one possibility."

died.

Lin Du smiled thoughtfully, "That's not necessarily true. Perhaps one day we will meet again."

Cang Li suddenly realized that Xiao Qi's oppression of his junior sister wasn't entirely incomprehensible.

He now wants to see her learn more, reach new heights, and see how far and how high she can go, and how perfect and amazing she can become.

Lin Du kept his eyes down and walked steadily, like a frozen pool that never melts.

"This is the place. I've already cleared the area, so you three can rest assured," Fox said.

In the next instant, a silver spear gleaming with a faint spiritual light appeared in Ju Yuan's hand, unleashing a torrent of pressure.

The bright lights were right behind us, but the courtyard was a quiet, cool night.

The talisman in Lin Du's hand suddenly slipped from his grasp, flying straight towards the courtyard of the courtesan Yue Ci, like a moth drawn to a flame.

Then the talisman burned out in the darkness, like paper money burning in the night, light and floating in the air with a gust of wind, until the flames were completely burned out.

The spear thrust was incredibly sharp, carrying a swift, powerful wind as it locked onto its target, piercing the heart with a single shot, leaving no room for evasion.

This was the first time Lin Du had directly faced the terrifying lethality of Ju Yuan's fatal move.

Fox You silently shrank to the side, his eyes burning with determination. If he damaged even a small part of the area, he would make the Supreme Sect's True Person pay for it! He absolutely had to pay!

Under the dazzling light, Lin Du saw the appearance of the person he was looking for: a withered old man.

Suddenly, a burst of power erupted from the old man's chest, forcing the spear that had pierced his chest away. Then, amidst billowing dust, he moved with surprising agility, his hands forming claws as he fought the spear back and forth with resounding clangs.

Cang Li suddenly paused, "You look familiar."

He took the soul from the jade flute, held it in his hand, and showed it to his junior sister. "Does it look like it?"

so similar.

In fact, you could say that is it.

"Can a person... turn into a demon?"

In fact, naturally born demons are evolved from the turbid air of heaven and earth, evil thoughts, or some other strange place. They look very strange, with bones sticking out from the side, horns on the left and scales on the right, and even being pitch black yet wet and slippery. They are at least very different from humans.

Low-level demons do not have souls. Only when their power increases and they become more and more like humans can they condense something similar to a soul. The people of Zhongzhou call this a demon soul.

Even if the demon soul is extracted, it will still be in its original form as a demon.

But the soul of this painted skin monster is in human form.

Because the soul is human, even Cang Li, a cultivator who had extensive research on the soul, was unable to detect the abnormality outside the physical body at first.

Fox You also noticed something was wrong; her originally narrow eyes widened. "Then..."

Hua Yulou accepted all sorts of people. In reality, he was just a money-lender and a sycophant, only good at business. Many of the people working there were actually placed there by higher-ups.

Fox You tightly covered its mouth, which wanted to howl, and tucked its non-existent tail between its legs.

He doesn't understand, really, he's just someone who knows how to make money.

"Want some sunflower seeds?" a voice rang out beside him, a handful of sunflower seeds piled in a pale hand.

Fox You obediently grabbed a few melon seeds, trembling as she cracked one to calm her nerves. Suddenly, she sensed something was wrong, looked up, and saw, oh, a little fox spirit.

Then he was so frightened that he couldn't tuck his tail between his legs anymore. "What are you doing?"

"Watching the show, huh? Can't you tell I'm useless now that I can't use my spiritual power?" Lin Du squatted down next to him with a smile, glancing at the dusty tail.

Is this thing really not a Tibetan fox?

Fox Youxin thought to himself that he really hadn't noticed, but he made a note of it; this information was worth 100,000 spirit stones.

"How did this guy get here? She's your top courtesan, how could you not even notice he's an old man?"

Foxy twitched its tail; he truly hadn't noticed.

In the fox clan, the more beautiful one is, the higher one's talent. Obviously, his talent is not high, and his cultivation is average.

He felt a little nauseous, but he gritted his teeth and said, "No, I really didn't notice. She was a beauty when she came. Who would have thought?"

Lin Du then asked, "When did that old man arrive?"

"After Yueci arrived, she brought him back one day, saying he was her servant who had been with her since childhood, and I believed her."

The truth is, he thought it was another order from above.

Who would have thought?

Lin Du lowered his eyes. "So, many decisions about Hua Yu Lou don't rest with you. And if we search Hua Yu Lou, fewer people will come, and this stronghold will be abandoned, and you... will be abandoned too, right?"

Foxy was startled at first, then jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on, but quickly calmed down, covered her mouth and burst into tears, "I've really had a hard time! You understand me, sister!"

Lin Du: ...

With a bang, Ju Yuan forced the person to crash into the large water vat in the courtyard, and the sound of it shattering was particularly melodious.

Seeing that he couldn't beat the man, the old man immediately turned to run away, but Cang Li blocked his way.

Ju Yuan followed up immediately, striking directly at the Lingtai (spirit platform).

Seeing this, Lin Du quickly darted out, shouting, "I can die, but give me a few minutes to spare my soul!"

Ju Yuan sheathed his spear. "I don't know why, but today the feeling of stabbing it in felt a little off."

It doesn't look like flesh and blood, it looks more like...

"Willow wood, decaying willow wood." Cang Li was very knowledgeable about all kinds of materials.

Lin Du tapped the man's head with one hand, the sound was dull, like tapping on wood.

She sighed and poured out her divine sense.

It's that ghost from the world of rhyming verses again.

But why would it follow a person who has transformed into a painted skin monster?

Fox You followed Lin Du out, crying out in anguish, "Ah! My poor fish and lotus playing in the water tank! Ah, my poor koi, my poor thousand-petaled lotus!"

Ju Yuan: ...Just tell me the price.

Cang Li suddenly spoke gently, "Red willow wood prefers shady, dry places. Where did the koi and thousand-petaled lotus come from? It's all just mud, isn't it?"

Fox looked up at the sky. "Ah, then I remembered it wrong, it was..."

"While we won't reveal your secrets, we still need to tell you where we captured the demon..."

Cang Li's voice was always gentle, but to Hu You, it sounded like a failed abacus.

Fox suddenly fell silent and changed the subject, "It's nothing, it's nothing. What's a little loss for us if we're ridding the people of a scourge? Thank you, Master, thank you, Master."

He realized that this Supreme Sect was the biggest fox den! Oh no! A bandit den!
