Chapter 325 Dark Night Crisis
Chapter 325 Dark Night Crisis
When Xia Yin returned home, Lu Xunhuan did not leave.
He went to the teahouse again and ordered a pot of the best tea.
I asked for the private room again, sat by the window, and continued to observe.
About an incense stick's time later, a rather large carriage came along the street and stopped at the gate of the Shangshu Mansion.
The two servants hurried forward and respectfully lifted the curtain of the carriage.
Lu Xunhuan saw Shangguan Shangshu get off the carriage and then go back to the mansion, closing the gate.
He drank his tea slowly and continued to observe.
He spent the entire day in this teahouse.
From the afternoon onwards, more and more people came in and out of the Shangshu Mansion in carriages.
As an important official in the court, it is conceivable that he must have a lot of things to do.
In addition to those who came to discuss official business, there was also a constant stream of people who came to curry favor and flatter.
After observing until dusk, Lu Xunhuan left.
He walked along the streets and alleys all the way back to Xialou.
In the cafeteria, most people had already eaten dinner, only Qingxia was still sitting there alone.
Lu Xunhuan got some food and went to sit down.
"I really can't let you participate in these two cases. Please don't mind."
Qingxia said, "Why should I mind? I have a new case to investigate."
"It's not easy for me to get involved. You let Zixia go, but she's not even from Xialou. What do you think?"
Lu Xunhuan asked, "Did she go?"
Qingxia replied, "She left in the afternoon."
Lu Xun Huan changed the subject: "By the way, have you reached the ninth level of the Qin Heart Realm?"
Qingxia nodded: "Yeah."
Lu Xun Huan quickly ate his meal: "Wait until we get to my room, I'll help you break through."
Qingxia stopped talking and just waited for him silently.
Lu Xunhuan quickly finished his meal and took Zixia up to the fifth floor.
"I'll help you, but you have to keep it a secret."
Qingxia sat down at the table and said, "You are so mysterious every day. What are you doing? I am now doubting your identity."
Lu Xunhuan took out a demon beast's inner core and said, "I'll help you first, then we'll talk."
Qingxia took the demon beast's inner core and looked at it: "What a strange creature."
Lu Xun Huan took out another piece of black cloth, walked behind her, and covered her eyes with it: "Eat."
Qingxia opened her mouth and swallowed the inner elixir.
When Lu Xunhuan left Taiqing Gate, he took all the remaining demon beast inner cores from Qu Yang, including a small number of eighth-level demon beast inner cores.
This is the one he gave to Qingxia.
After Qingxia swallowed the inner elixir of the monster, he moved his mind and summoned the golden hoop, placing it on her lower abdomen.
Qingxia grabbed his hand and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Xun Huan said, "Auntie, let me help you absorb the evil spirit. Don't move."
Qingxia let go of her hand, because the demonic energy and power had already spread in her body, and she didn't bother to talk to Lu Xunhuan.
After a sudden pain, the demonic energy was strongly controlled by the golden hoop, and she no longer felt pain. She hurriedly circulated the energy in her body, desperately absorbing the power that erupted from the demon beast's inner elixir.
A moment later, she completed the foundation building, and the inner elixir of the monster beast formed a golden elixir in his body.
Her dantian shook and she broke through to the Tengyun realm.
Lu Xunhuan felt that she had made a breakthrough and that the demonic energy had been basically absorbed, so he put away the golden hoop and sat aside waiting for her.
After about an hour, Qingxia broke through to the Qianyuan realm as if in a dream.
But the strength in the body has not been exhausted yet.
She tried hard to absorb it again.
After another stick of incense, the door was pushed open and Zixia came back.
She was slightly surprised to see Qingxia sitting in Lu Xunhuan's room.
However, looking at Qingxia's condition, she immediately understood.
Lu Xunhuan floated over and met her.
The door closed quietly, and the two of them went from the fifth floor to the first floor.
In the pavilion, two people sat in the dark.
Lu Xunhuan asked quietly, "How is it?"
Zixia whispered, "Cheng Bufan really has a woman outside."
She handed Lu Xunhuan two pairs of underwear: "They're theirs."
Lu Xun Huan took it and looked at it, feeling rather amused and helpless: "You are a virgin... at that scene... you are quite dedicated..."
Zixia raised her chin and said, "Of course, why are you investigating a case if you're embarrassed?"
Lu Xun Huan put the things away and asked, "Are you going to tell Princess Man Man the truth?"
Zixia said, "It's indeed a bit difficult. She's your client and she spent money. You should tell her the truth, but if you tell her, I'm afraid it will cause a big uproar."
Lu Xunhuan asked again, "Who is that woman?"
Zixia replied, "A maid in Shangguan Shangshu's mansion."
Lu Xunhuan frowned: "What's your name?"
Zixia replied, "I heard Cheng Bufan call him Chunxiang."
Lu Xunhuan touched his chin: "Chunxiang Xiayin..."
He said to Zixia, "I'm afraid there's a conspiracy here. Chunxiang might have been instructed by Shangguan Shangshu to deliberately seduce Cheng Bufan in order to damage the Fifth Prince's reputation."
Zixia asked, "Have you made any progress?"
Lu Xunhuan said, "We are planning it step by step."
In the room, Qingxia finally absorbed all the conflicting forces in her body, and she broke through to the third level of Qianyuan Realm in one fell swoop.
Although she failed to become a master of the ninth level of Qianyuan Realm like Zixia, she was already very satisfied.
When she opened her eyes, she found the room empty.
In the pavilion, Lu Xunhuan and Zixia were whispering.
Suddenly, someone came over the wall.
The two of them stood up almost at the same time and left the pavilion.
With the help of the scattered lights in the upstairs room, the two men saw a masked man holding a magic sword, standing two feet in front of them.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a short time.
This person is very powerful and should be a ninth-level master in the Qianyuan Realm.
In the past, even if that person had climbed over the wall, the two of them might not have been able to discover him.
But now, Lu Xunhuan has broken through to the Wuxiang Realm, and Zixia has also broken through to the ninth level of the Qianyuan Realm.
So, when that person arrived, both of them felt it.
Zixia could feel that person's arrival, which meant that person's strength was not beyond hers.
After that person arrived, he probably didn't expect that the two people in Xialou had such amazing strength.
Both men and women noticed him at the first moment and left the pavilion at the same time.
The two sides were deadlocked for a short moment, and then the man left on his own initiative.
He floated back again, passed over the courtyard wall, and disappeared.
After the man disappeared, Zixia whispered, "Why not capture him?"
Lu Xun Huan said, "Whether we capture him or not, our strength has been exposed. A stronger master will probably come and destroy us. You go back to the north, and I will handle this."
Zixia of course refused to leave: "More people means more strength. It would be too dangerous for you to handle it alone."
Lu Xun Huan said, "I'll leave too, leaving them with nothing to catch again."
Zixia asked, "Where are you going?"
Lu Xun Huan thought for a moment and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, a more powerful expert will arrive soon. Let's leave the Xialou quickly."
The two of them immediately turned around and were about to leave the Xialou.
But when the two of them reached the corridor entrance, Qingxia flashed out: "Where are you going in the middle of the night?"
Lu Xun Huan quickly asked, "How are you?"
Qingxia replied, "The third level of Qianyuan Realm."
Lu Xun Huan said, "You and Zixia, return to the Northland tonight for shelter. Zixia will tell you the reason on the way. I will pick you up in the Northland after I have dealt with this situation."
Qingxia asked, "Is there any danger?"
Lu Xun Huan said, "Let me put it this way. The president of the Immortal Friends Association is probably suspicious of me and wants to destroy me. Therefore, we must hide immediately, and then I will find a way to destroy him."
Qingxia nodded: "Okay, Zixia, follow me."
Zixia didn't want to leave at first, but Lu Xunhuan said to her, "If we fight head-on, we might die miserably."
"So, we must disappear and make him lose his target. Then, I will deal with him in secret. Don't be stubborn. If you stay, it will be difficult for me to act quietly."
The night is already very deep.
The three of them quietly left the city and then went their separate ways.
Qingxia took Zixia and headed straight to the north.
Lu Xunhuan walked around outside the city and returned to the city, where he found an inconspicuous inn and stayed.
About an hour after they left, two dark shadows quietly appeared in the backyard of Xialou.
However, the two dark shadows searched for a while but failed to find them, so they left quietly.
