Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 108 Don't you like it?

The main hall of the Yuan residence.

The lights were bright, and the stove was burning.

Yuan Tong and his son were playing chess while talking in hushed tones.

At this moment, a servant rushed in and whispered a few words. The father and son's expressions immediately changed, and Yuan Fang stood up from his chair.

"Have they caught the murderer?"

Yuan Fang immediately asked.

The servant shook his head and said, "It was the patrol team who discovered the body."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Fang immediately prepared to leave.

Yuan Tong immediately rebuked, "What's the panic! What kind of behavior is it to go out at a time like this? The people from the Demon Suppression Academy haven't even gone yet, and you've already gone. Doesn't that clearly show we have connections in the patrol team? Doesn't that clearly show we're related to him?"

Yuan Fang had no choice but to stop, his face grim. "Father, who killed them? How dare they kill someone from the Demon Suppression Academy in the city?"

Then, with a look of regret, he said, "Why tonight of all times? If it were a few days later, it would be fine. Sigh."

Yuan Tong turned his gaze to the servant and asked in a deep voice, "What else did the patrol say? Did they say how he was killed, or what wounds he had?"

The servant respectfully replied, "The man said that when they found the body, it was decapitated, and the whole body and head were highly decomposed. It must have been poisoned, as the wounds were no longer visible. The storage bag on the body was still there, but it seemed that only the gold and silver were missing."

"Gold and silver? Could it be a highway robber?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Fang became even more furious.

He ruined his big plan for a few pieces of gold and silver; he deserves to die!

Yuan Tong pondered for a moment, then ordered in a deep voice, "Go and continue to inquire. Once the people from the Demon Suppression Academy have left, return immediately and report back."

"yes!"

The servants immediately left in a hurry.

After the servant left the courtyard, Yuan Fang immediately asked, "Father, what should we do about tomorrow?"

Yuan Tong glared at him and said, "I've told you many times, don't panic when something happens! Can't you think things through first?"

Yuan Fang thought for a moment and said, "Should we go directly to Zhou Minghui?"

Yuan Tong shook his head and said, "That woman might not compromise. Go directly to your people. After Wang Lin dies, there will be a vacancy. Tomorrow morning, have one of your people join that team. Remember, it must be someone who isn't usually too close to you in the courtyard."

Yuan Fang nodded and said, "I understand."

Yuan Tong picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "Just consider it the death of an insignificant person. Don't inquire about this matter anymore, lest it arouse suspicion. If the Demon Suppression Academy finds out that he left from our residence, there will still be some trouble."

Yuan Fang nodded.

at the same time.

At this time, the streets of the outer city were filled with many soldiers.

People from the Demon Suppression Academy also rushed over.

The death of someone within the city is no small matter, especially since it was someone from the Demon Suppression Academy.

This news immediately alarmed many people.

Some pedestrians who were strolling on the street immediately hurried home upon seeing this scene.

Some shops that were still lit with lanterns turned off their lights and closed early.

Tonight is destined to be an eventful night.

Luo Qingfeng entered the room, stood by the window for a while, and carefully recalled the entire murder process several times. Although there were no obvious omissions, he still felt some regret.

Nightingale entered the room, closed the door, hesitated for a moment, and then locked it.

She glanced at the white sheet on the bed, her face flushed, and deliberately asked, "Did you put this sheet on? You seem quite skilled at it. How many times have you done this?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "Grandma laid it out."

"Hmph, don't try to deny it, you laid it!"

The nightingale was convinced it was him.

Luo Qingfeng stopped arguing, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Sister Nightingale, is there anything that can melt a corpse?"

Nightingale's expression changed slightly, and she said somewhat nervously, "You didn't handle the body properly?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "It was only corroded with lime, not completely cleaned. So I want to know if there is a drug that can be poured directly onto the blood of a corpse and quickly dissolve the corpse cleanly."

Nightingale's brow furrowed with worry as she said, "Yes, they do exist, but they're very expensive. Ordinary shops aren't allowed to sell them; you have to buy them at markets run by cultivators, and only those with Xuanjin (a type of rare metal) can buy them."

Luo Qingfeng asked, "How many pieces of Xuan Gold do you need?"

Nightingale thought for a moment and said, "It's about three dollars a bottle, and one bottle is probably only enough to dissolve one corpse. It's said to be very fast; it can even dissolve clothes."

Luo Qingfeng felt a pang of regret: "Three pieces of Xuanjin... are indeed a bit expensive."

Nightingale said, "Destroying a corpse and covering up the evidence can be done instantly, so how can it not be expensive? Moreover, this thing is officially banned, and can only be secretly bought from some cultivators."

Luo Qingfeng asked, "Does Sister Nightingale know where there's a market like that?"

Nightingale looked at him suspiciously and said, "You have Xuanjin?"

Luo Qingfeng took out four pieces of Xuanjin from his storage bag and said, "Four pieces in total, enough to buy one bottle."

Nightingale looked surprised, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Wang Lin's?"

Luo Qingfeng nodded.

One of the pieces was a reward from Senior Bai, so it's best not to mention it now, lest it cause jealousy and misunderstandings.

This girl is still very sensitive.

Nightingale pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that on the last day of each month, you can enter the market from a shop in the north of the city. I don't know the specifics, and I've never been there. If you want to go, I'll go to the courtyard tomorrow and ask someone."

Luo Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "Sister Nightingale, don't ask for now. After all, this kind of thing is against the rules. You're just a little short of merit to leave, and you can't afford to make any more mistakes. I'll go to the courtyard tomorrow to ask someone."

Nightingale said, "Who can you ask? You've only been in the North Courtyard for a few days, you don't know anyone, you... well, I underestimated you. You know that Senior Bai, and you have a very close relationship with him, humph!"

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

"Go to sleep."

Nightingale ripped the white sheet off the bed, folded it, and put it in the wardrobe in the corner. She turned to him and said, "Seeing the white sheet reminds me of your senior, Bai."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

The windows were closed and the lights were turned off.

The two got into bed, lay under the covers, and fell silent.

"Will something happen?"

"No, even if something happens, I'll take responsibility for it all."

"You're so impulsive."

"Some things, you know they will happen, but you can't wait until they happen to deal with them, nor can you wait until they happen to deal with them. The most effective and safest way is to nip them in the bud when they are about to happen."

"But I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid I'll harm A-Ya, afraid I'll implicate you all?"

"I'm afraid something might happen to you."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

The two hugged each other.

Luo Qingfeng inhaled the delicate fragrance emanating from her body and felt her warm breath. His hand, which was resting on her slender waist, couldn't help but slowly move.

Just as he was about to climb up, she grabbed him.

"Sister Nightingale..."

"Not tonight, I'm scared, someone might break in."

"All right……"

"Do you really want to?"

"It's not that... I really want to."

"You're lying, your leg touched me again."

"Forehead……"

"Go to sleep, go to sleep early. I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the yard and pick up a new mission as soon as possible."

As she spoke, she placed one hand on his leg.

Luo Qingfeng shuddered and said, "It would be best to find one that I can also join. As for the merit points and rewards, I don't need them."

"Um... Luo Qingfeng, thank you..."

"Sister Nightingale, oh... Xiaofeng should thank you..."

"..."

Luo Qingfeng didn't say anything more and closed his eyes.

At this moment, patrol officers were seen hurrying by on the streets outside.

On the streets, in the alleys, in the dilapidated houses, in the Guanyin Temple, all the homeless and those sleeping outdoors were arrested.

At the same time, many guesthouses were also searched.

Any cultivator who could not produce identification was taken away.

It was around midnight.

The girl got up, left her room, listened to the sounds outside in the courtyard for a while, and then felt relieved. She washed her hands and went back to her room to sleep.

The next day, the sun shone brightly.

When Luo Qingfeng woke up, the person next to him was gone and the bed was empty.

An enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen.

In the courtyard, Aya seemed to be practicing swordsmanship; judging from the sound, she was moving very fast.

Luo Qingfeng got out of bed and opened the window.

A girl wearing a patched black dress was standing next to a clothesline, her sword pointing at a garment hanging on the line.

She stood there, her eyes fixed on the dress.

Upon closer inspection, Luo Qingfeng realized that those were the shorts he was wearing underneath.

Hearing the sound of the window opening, Aya quickly sheathed her sword and turned to look through the window.

Their eyes met.

Luo Qingfeng raised his hand, waved, and took the initiative to greet him.

The little girl's pretty, delicate face immediately turned red. She lowered her head, quickly went into the room, and hid.

Luo Qingfeng got up, washed up briefly, and then went into the kitchen to get the freshly made pancakes.

Aya sat behind the stove, head down, without uttering a sound.

"Let's go, it's getting late."

Nightingale took off her apron, washed her hands, went to her room to change her clothes, and then went out with him.

The two walked in a quiet alley, and after a moment of silence, Nightingale suddenly turned around and asked, "How did you sleep last night?"

Luo Qingfeng coughed as he ate the pancake and said, "Not very good."

The nightingale said, "Oh? Why is it not good? Did you have a nightmare?"

Luo Qingfeng looked at her and said, "No, but Sister Nightingale likes to get handsy. She got handsy the night before last and started touching me last night, making it hard for me to sleep."

Nightingale chuckled, a blush creeping onto her cheeks, and said, "You don't like it?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "I like it."

As the two left the alley, their expressions gradually became serious.

Fortunately, we didn't encounter any other problems along the way.

As the two parted ways at the main gate of the Demon Suppression Academy, Luo Qingfeng whispered, "Come find me at the Book Pavilion if you need anything."

Nightingale nodded and said, "You must be careful too."

"Um."

The two parted ways at the door.

Luo Qingfeng entered the North Courtyard and soon arrived at the Library.

He decided to ask Senior White about the cultivator market; Senior White was so powerful, he should know about it.

By the way, I wonder if Granny Ning went back to the mansion to get the gold last night.

Once inside, Grandma Ning remained seated in the corner, resting with her eyes closed.

Luo Qingfeng cupped his hands in greeting, but the other party ignored him. Just as he was about to go upstairs, Granny Ning suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Let me tell you, you've been assigned to Team One, the first team of the Human Rank Department. Remember to report to Team One this afternoon."

Luo Qingfeng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Grandma."

Granny Ning glanced at him again and said, "Miss is probably still sleeping..."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng was about to retreat down the stairs when she was told, "You can go directly to the seventh floor and find her in her boudoir."
