Chapter 238: When you

Combining the fact that their girlfriends were nowhere to be found, Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei instantly felt that they were green with panic, and their complexions also began to become somewhat abnormal.

Ning Tao saw the abnormality of the two disciples and asked: "What's wrong with you? Did you encounter trouble during cultivation?"

As a master, she still had her own duties; correctly guiding her disciples to cultivate was her job.

"No, nothing, we probably ate something wrong during dinner and feel our stomachs are a bit uncomfortable." Chen Jiyu immediately spoke.

"Ouch, my stomach also feels a bit uncomfortable; it's probably because I drank cold water." Luo Fei also reacted.

The two casually found an excuse and left Ning Tao's room.

Returning to the vicinity of the rockery just now, their complexions were not very good.

If it weren't dark, it would probably be possible to see each other's faces twisted with jealousy.

Inside the room, there was panting, and outside, the two were also panting.

The two had not spoken, but it seemed they had both guessed who the two women inside were.

But without seeing it with their own eyes, they still held a glimmer of hope, hoping it wasn't what they guessed.

The night wind was very cold, and Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei stood near the rockery, standing there motionless; if one didn't pay attention, one would think they were two stones.

Not long after, some movement appeared nearby again.

Hiding near the rockery, they watched with their own eyes as Jiang Mo and Wu Nanzhi walked into the room, and inside, it began to be full of joy again.

This caused their hearts to sink to the bottom again; the happier it was inside, the more uncomfortable they were.

Because even if they guessed their girlfriends were inside, so what? They didn't dare to break in at all.

Now watching their goddess go in, it was simply too heartbreaking.

They felt that they were absolutely the most stifled men in this world.

Besides them, there certainly couldn't be a third person who could feel it.

This was just because the two of them had a narrow perspective, for right where they were standing, there used to be someone named Lin Mo who was even more miserable than them.

If Lin Mo knew that there was someone who could feel his experience at that time, and it was at the position he stood, he would certainly be very comforted.

Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei were still relatively awesome; they stood at the door for a whole night, fearing to miss any details, until they saw their girlfriends walk out of the room with their own eyes, only then did they completely give up.

Because Li Chen also came out, they didn't even dare to step forward to question him, and had to hide from Li Chen, quietly returning to their rooms.

That feeling of their girlfriends being snatched, and still having to hide from the possessor, made them green to a new height.

During breakfast, they still had to pretend they didn't know anything.

Ning Tao was still asking these two disciples why their state wasn't very good, with such heavy dark circles; was it caused by feeling unwell yesterday?

Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei could only indicate that they cultivated too late last night and couldn't sleep.

When eating, Ning Tao also discovered some clues; how did the four lover disciples who were originally showing off their affection all begin to have barriers? Was it her illusion?

Xu Qianqian and Zhong Ling were still relatively restrained, while Jiang Mo didn't act anymore, sticking directly to Li Chen's side.

She was very surprised last night, discovering that her two senior sisters were also there.

Seeing her two senior sisters so active, she roughly understood; after all, only after experiencing it personally did she know how powerful Li Chen was, no wonder not only her sister, but even her mother, aunt, and sister-in-law had moved into the imperial palace.

After finishing breakfast, Li Chen naturally had to leave Shanghe City and head to the Imperial Capital.

Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei could only stand nearby, enthusiastically seeing off Li Chen as he took their girlfriends away.

Li Chen also felt that these two boys had a pretty good attitude after being beaten.

Actually, Li Chen didn't know the relationship between Xu Qianqian and Zhong Ling and them at all, but then again, even if he knew, it didn't seem to matter.

But there was one point Li Chen could be sure of: the Jiang residence was truly a good place; every time he came to the Jiang residence, it seemed he gained a lot, and these women were all giving themselves away.

As long as they served Li Chen happily, they would certainly be able to enter the harem.

Just as Li Chen left Shanghe City, the Son of Luck Xiao Ming arrived here.

During this period, in order to seek the traces of his mother, he could be said to have searched everywhere nearby.

He had asked I don't know how many powerhouses, but hadn't found any clues.

Even his master, the Sage's remnant soul, felt that Xiao Ming's luck was weakened this time; according to normal circumstances, Xiao Ming should have been able to find clues.

Actually, if the Sage's remnant soul hadn't stopped Xiao Ming from acting recklessly, he would probably have found clues long ago.

It was during this period of searching for his mother that Xiao Ming still had gains, obtaining some fortuitous encounters, and his cultivation had broken through to the Six Realms Realm, formally stepping into the ranks of small experts.

It wasn't just that he had broken through, he was prepared to come to Lin Yue'e's place to show off.

As a result, when he arrived at the Lin Chengjian's Office, he discovered that Lin Yue'e had also reached the Six Realms Realm.

This made Xiao Ming somewhat surprised, and he asked Lin Yue'e if she had also encountered any fortuitous encounters.

Because in the cultivation world, if one didn't encounter fortuitous encounters, cultivation wouldn't grow so fast in a short time, right?

With his talent, the Sage's remnant soul said he was a rare sight in a hundred years.

With the help of the Sage's remnant soul, Xiao Ming's cultivation was even more like cheating.

Lin Yue'e indicated that she didn't have any fortuitous encounters, just cultivating down-to-earth.

Perhaps even she didn't know that being able to meet Li Chen and get Li Chen's care was the true fortuitous encounter; there was no greater opportunity in this world than 'knowing Li Chen'.

Since their cultivation was about the same, Xiao Ming felt they were even more compatible, and even Xiao Ming's subordinates saw that their boss seemed to like this Lin Chengjian Lin.

Striking while the iron was hot, Xiao Ming proposed a sparring match, wanting to communicate through fighting to make each other more familiar.

Xiao Ming didn't feel that his cultivation was worse than anyone else's, so he could perform well at that time.

But Lin Yue'e refused; she was only willing to contact Xiao Ming in terms of official business.

As for sparring, even if it was on a private level, she didn't want to have too much understanding of Xiao Ming, let alone Li Chen had just come, letting her prepare for the establishment and construction of the Sect Affairs Department, so she truly had no mind to spar with Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming, who had been snubbed, had to take his leave and left the Lin Chengjian's Office.

The subordinates were all comforting Xiao Ming.

"Boss, Lin Chengjian Lin has a cold personality; she probably likes men who are more aggressive. When Boss becomes the Minister of Justice, you'll probably be able to take her down."

"Boss, don't be discouraged; I think you two are a talented and beautiful couple. Now Lin Chengjian Lin's business is busy; I heard she will be transferred back to the Imperial Capital for a promotion soon, and Boss will have plenty of opportunities then."

With the comfort of his little brothers, Xiao Ming's mood was much better.

He had now slowly integrated into the imperial court and felt that this system was not bad.

Before, no matter where he went, there would be some people who didn't have eyes to mock him, and various troubles would follow; this was perhaps the attribute brought by the Son of Luck.

But now it was different; wearing this official robe, even if he went to nearby major sects, the sect masters had to be polite.

"Minister of Justice? That's truly far away, but let's mix into a Vice Minister of Justice first; as long as I mix into a Vice Minister of Justice, I can attend the morning court."

Xiao Ming had already begun to calculate internally; Pang Jin could also be considered someone he respected, and Pang Jin wasn't very old, so he certainly wouldn't step down in a short time, so mixing into a Vice Minister of Justice was about enough.

A Vice Minister of Justice could also be considered one of the top levels in the Ministry of Justice.

Since Lin Yue'e was going back to the Imperial Capital, Xiao Ming prepared to go back first before making plans.

He completely forgot the purpose of his leaving the Imperial Capital this time, which was to investigate the whereabouts of the former dynasty's remnant princess and Wang Wang Shizi Jing'an's heir Li Yang according to Pang Jin's requirements.

Perhaps this kid didn't intend to look for them at all when he came out.

On the way back to Shanghe City with his subordinates, the sunset glow covered the earth, plating this land with a layer of gold.

The little brothers felt that this also seemed to mean that Chief Xiao's future was bright.

Xiao Ming felt deeply comforted; this group of little brothers was truly good at flattering, deeply satisfying his heart!

No wonder everyone wanted to be an Emperor; there were probably quite a few people like this around the Emperor.

Just at this moment, a somewhat discordant scene appeared in their line of sight.

Two men dressed in gorgeous but somewhat disheveled clothing were surrounding a woman and chattering endlessly. The woman had a graceful figure, a light purple long dress swaying gently in the wind, like a fairy in a painting descending to the human world.

Her face was even more peerlessly beautiful, her brows and eyes like a painting, her skin like snow, her red lips lightly touched, every part just right, making people unable to help but look a few more times.

Her temperament was noble without losing gentleness, and every move displayed the demeanor of a great family, as if she were the focus of that world, making people unable to ignore her.

"Two young masters, this little woman truly has urgent matters, so it is inconvenient to chat more." The woman's voice was crisp and pleasant, but carried an unquestionable firmness.

"Oh, why is the young lady in such a hurry? We two are willing to serve the young lady." One of the men, who could be considered handsome and having an extraordinary aura, was full of smiles, but his eyes flashed with malicious light.

"That's right, young lady, this is the wilderness; it is inconvenient for a woman to walk alone, so let us accompany you." The other man, with a tall and straight figure, tried his best to keep his words acceptable, but his tone was full of frivolity.

The woman frowned slightly, obviously feeling annoyed by the entanglement of these two, but without losing politeness, she said: "Thank you both for your kindness, but this little woman truly doesn't need it."

These two were exactly Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei, who had just been dumped by their girlfriends. On the way back to the sect in disappointment, they didn't expect to encounter such a peerless beauty.

Thinking that a blessing in disguise, hope sparks were ignited, and they vowed to chase this beauty no matter what.

Just at this moment, Xiao Ming's group rode over on horses, and seeing this scene, a heroic feeling of saving the beauty suddenly rose in Xiao Ming's heart.

!

He tightened the reins, let the horses stop, and led his subordinates forward, using the identity of government runners, and scolded: "Bold maniacs, in broad daylight, you actually dare to tease a good woman, why don't you get out!"

Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei were picking up girls, and were also disciples of a major sect; if someone dared to speak to them like this, they would certainly teach this guy a bloody lesson.

They were already uncomfortable being green, and now they encountered a beauty and were snatched by someone? Could they swallow this anger?

Even if they were dissatisfied internally, looking at this group of aggressive government runners, with a full twenty-plus people on the opposite side, they could only apologize and leave in a sorry state.

As Ning Tao's disciples, whether Ning Tao herself hated the imperial family, that was temporarily unknown, but these two people hated the imperial family and the imperial court more and more.

Xiao Ming turned around, smiled and looked at the woman, preparing to start his own journey of picking up girls.

Perhaps other government runners didn't understand, but Xiao Ming's master knew that this kid couldn't move his legs when he saw a beauty, and his peach blossom luck was extremely good; wasn't this just rejected by Lin Yue'e, and he encountered another peerless beauty.

The Sage's remnant soul was also puzzled, how could Xiao Ming always encounter these.

Who knew that the woman actually spoke first to thank him: "Thank you, young master, for your help; this little woman is incomparably grateful."

Xiao Ming was happy internally, not expecting this beauty to be so active, and he said politely: "Young lady is too polite; seeing injustice and drawing a sword to help is the duty of our generation."

Hearing this, a strange light flashed in the woman's eyes, and she immediately said: "To thank you, young master, this little woman wants to invite you to a meal; I wonder what you think?"

Xiao Ming naturally couldn't ask for more and happily agreed.

The group headed to a small town nearby to have a meal.

During the meal, under the woman's "deliberate" questioning, Xiao Ming was somewhat floating, directly stating that he was an official in the capital, directly putting out his identity as a Chief of the Ministry of Justice, and fearing that the woman would look down on him, he even directly said he was the confidant of the Minister of Justice Pang Jin.

He didn't exaggerate; this was the fact.

The little brother beside him saw this and hurriedly echoed: "This is the future successor of our Minister of Justice; the future is limitless!"

Xiao Ming heard this and was very satisfied internally, thinking that this was the benefit of having little brothers.

He even specially remembered this little brother, thinking that when he became successful in the future, he would certainly promote him.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Ming finally asked about the woman's identity.

It turned out her name was Wei Manying, and she was from the Wei family, a merchant family in Tianshui City.

Xiao Ming heard this and praised the good name, and began to inquire about Wei Manying's purpose for this trip.

Wei Manying smiled slightly and said: "I plan to go to Shanghe City to develop a career, but I have no one to rely on there, so I am inevitably somewhat uneasy."

Xiao Ming heard this and immediately guaranteed: "Young lady Wei, don't worry; I have been in Shanghe City for so many years and know it like the back of my hand; it can be said that Shanghe City is like my home. If you go there, if you have anything, just look for me; I will cover you!"

This sentence was Xiao Ming bragging; although he had been to Shanghe City many times, Shanghe City wasn't like what he said.

The purpose was very obvious, which was to get close to this woman.

Wei Manying heard this, and a look of gratitude flashed in her eyes, saying: "That is truly great, thank you, Young Master Xiao."

Originally, Xiao Ming planned to return to the Imperial Capital, but unable to refuse the beauty, he returned to Shanghe City along the same path with Wei Manying.

On the way, the two chatted very well, and every smile of Wei Manying made him feel like a spring breeze, even more plucking his heartstrings; Xiao Ming was so moved he almost cried, finally having a beauty be so active.

He no longer needed to be a licking dog with a hot face against a cold butt!

Could it be that his spring had finally arrived? Wei Manying, you are my new goddess!

Seeing Xiao Ming and Wei Manying walking in front, the little brothers behind were discussing.

"Hey, isn't Chief Xiao pursuing Lin Chengjian Lin? Lin Chengjian Lin is still in Shanghe City; if she finds out, won't Chief Xiao be in trouble?"

"What do you know? Chief Xiao is developing comprehensively; haven't you seen that Lin Chengjian Lin is so cold and a career-oriented strong woman? I think it's very hard to chase; if it were me, I would certainly choose the gentle Miss Wei."

"Everyone pay attention; we just followed Chief Xiao, so we must help Chief Xiao cover."

It had to be said that the little brothers Xiao Ming chose were also acceptable.

Now, besides not finding his biological mother, he seemed to have begun to enter a period of rapid rise in career and cultivation, and even love had begun to appear.

But the Sage's remnant soul felt it was very strange; this girl seemed to be deliberately contacting Xiao Ming; was it his illusion?

Thinking seriously, if this girl was a woman from a merchant family, then she truly couldn't resist Xiao Ming, this big official from the Imperial Capital, let alone it was a hero saving the beauty.

That scene just now didn't look like a performance, and everything was so reasonable.

At least the Sage's remnant soul didn't see any traces of performance.

The Sage's remnant soul just felt, is there no problem with Xiao Ming doing this? Don't talk about being discovered by Lin Yue'e; you kid haven't done any proper work during this period of leaving the Imperial Capital, and you've thrown the task given by the Minister of Justice to the back of your head, right?

What the Sage's remnant soul didn't know was that what Wei Manying said wasn't the whole truth.

Her real name was Yuan Qianyu, and she was the princess of the former dynasty's remnant that Xiao Ming was looking for.

Yuan Qianyu's identity was extremely mysterious, and few people in the outside world knew it; she was also one of the few people who dared to be active on the surface.

Her purpose for coming to Shanghe City was first to rescue the clansmen who had been captured, and second to investigate Lin Yue'e.

Many of the former dynasty's remnants who had been captured were locked in the prison of Shanghe City, and those were the backbone of the former dynasty's remnants.

Even if she couldn't rescue them, her appearance could stabilize the emotions of those people in the dark nearby.

As for Lin Yue'e, she was the Emperor's confidant, and this had to be investigated emphatically.

Yuan Qianyu didn't expect that just after arriving nearby, she would first encounter two people who were picking her up, and then Xiao Ming, this unexpected "savior".

Those two were sect disciples, and their utilization value wasn't very high; to put it ugly, there were plenty of people with the status of Chen Jiyu and Luo Fei here, and Yuan Qianyu certainly didn't intend to pay attention to them, but Xiao Ming's identity was good!

As a princess of the former dynasty's remnants, she naturally knew what level of person a Chief of the Ministry of Justice was, and plus this kid's 'lustful' appearance was revealed without doubt; couldn't he be utilized?

It could be said that Xiao Ming looked like he wasn't doing proper work, but every action of his happened to be related to proper work.

Xiao Ming was still immersed in the illusion of 'love', not knowing that he had already been set up by someone.

Yuan Qianyu was thinking about what way she could use to make Xiao Ming be used by her.

In terms of confusing people, Yuan Qianyu was too proficient; the last man who was infatuated with her was exactly Wang Wang Shizi Jing'an's heir Li Yang.

Li Yang was also a big fool; he himself felt that Yuan Qianyu was affectionate to him and was still working hard for Yuan Qianyu.

He couldn't guess even in his dreams that Yuan Qianyu was now using the same rhetoric on another man.

At this stage, Li Yang reflected his lack of ability.

He was thoroughly fooled by Li Xian; Li Xian feigned cooperation with him, used some false information to extract Li Yang's 'family assets', and then Li Xian used Li Yang's 'family assets' to fool the Third Wang Wang Shizi Li Yu into cooperating.

Li Xian had only just mixed into a hidden sect; how could he mobilize a Sage Realm expert to help?

After being dealt with by Li Chen in the Imperial Capital, this kid relied entirely on a mouth to mix in the world; anyway, his real situation, Li Yang and Li Yu didn't know; what status, what trump cards, were all made up.

Now Li Xian felt that everything was ready, just waiting for Li Chen's eastern expedition, and he would certainly prepare a burial place for Li Chen!
