C16 The Deal

"Your Majesty believes that she can be of use to us?" After that person left, the Taoist priest stood in front of the emperor and said, "We have to be careful when cooperating with this demon."

The emperor laughed, and his eyes lit up. He said, "How about humans? How about demons? How about ghosts? As long as there is greed in their hearts, it is best to control them."

In the distance, a trace of white light appeared in the sky. The sky was about to break, but it made people's hearts grow colder and colder.

Hu Shisan called over the people from the yamen to help. They fished out eleven human bones from the water. After counting them carefully, there was still one missing.

The person in charge of fished out the corpses felt that perhaps it was because the bones were too old, and the waves had destroyed them, causing them to be crushed into powder.

However, Caisang knew that Hu Ling'er had still escaped. The world was so big, and there were so many people in the world. It would probably be difficult to find her when the time came.

The person who fished out the corpses placed the white bones on the river bank. Looking at them carefully, they found that they were all about the same size.

The clerk was an old man with a white beard. He carefully examined the bones and said with a sad face, "Poor, they are all eighteen or nineteen years old young ladies. They are so young, how pitiful…"

When they saw the people from the yamen busying themselves, many commoners who were watching the show also gathered around the river. They were all guessing what was going on here.

The servants of the Hu family were even more confused. A few of them gathered together, not knowing what was going on.

The people in charge and some servants who were the same as them had all turned into paper men on the ground in the blink of an eye.

The people who were supposed to discuss how to hold the Thousand Faces Festival tonight had all turned into paper men. Their hearts turned cold and they became even more flustered.

Hu Shisan was the one who was the most devastated. He didn't know anything at all. The technique that the Hu family was so proud of was actually built on the death of his family members.

All these years, the money that the Hu family earned through the Thousand Faces was stained with the blood of his Hu family's women.

He was so devastated that he almost fainted. Luckily, Yan Tine had the Heart Protecting Pill with him, which saved him from fainting.

Caiang turned around and looked at Tonghua. She said, "I'll have to trouble you, Sect Master Tong. I still have Old Master Hu's three souls in my hands. The longer his soul leaves his body, the more unfavorable it will be for him. I have to go back immediately and let his soul return to his body as soon as possible."

"Why should we care about such a heartless thing?" Tonghua's voice was cold.

If it wasn't for this guy, today's tragedy wouldn't have happened in Qujiang.

"He will be lucky if he dies like this. After killing so many people, he should be judged by the law. He should be executed according to the laws of the country," Caiang said.

There were thieves in the human world, and there were thieves in the human world. No matter how many evil people these people had committed, they were all restricted by the law. It was not something that a martial artist like them could control.

Tonghua was silent for a while before he nodded and said, "Yan Tine and I will be in charge of cleaning up the remnants of the evil in this place. We will send these pitiful people back to their homes."

Jiang Louyue stood in front of Caisang and bowed slightly, indicating for her to come up. Before Caisang could say anything, Jiang Louyue spoke first, "You are crippled. If you want to rely on yourself to return to the Hu family, it will probably take you until the sun rises."

Caisang was still hesitating. Her gaze fell on the bloodstains under Jiang Louyue's clothes. "But you are also injured."

Jiang Louyue suddenly straightened his back and turned to look at Caisang. His eyes were bright and sparkling, and they were shining. "Jiaojiao is feeling sorry for me."

"I didn't say that." Caisang turned his head away.

"My injuries are just superficial wounds. They are really fine. However, if we still don't leave, Old Master Hu's life will be in danger. Jiaojiao, do you want me to carry you back or do you want me to carry you back?" Jiang Louyue turned his head and slowly said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his back sinking, and Caisang was pressing down on his back.

Jiang Louyue smiled. He could feel the stiffness of the person on his back and tried his best to keep a distance from him. He carefully grabbed the cloth on Jiang Louyue's shoulder, which looked extremely awkward.

The road from here to the Hu family wasn't long, but it wasn't short either. It was as if they didn't speak at all along the way. The atmosphere was inevitably awkward.

Caiang pinched the cloth on his shoulder and loosened it, then tightened it again. Finally, she opened her mouth and said, "Previously... I said that I was sorry."

After Caiang finished speaking, she lowered her head and stared at Jiang Louyue's hair, wanting to hear his answer.

Jiang Louyue was silent for a long time, and his gentle voice came over, "What apology? What you said is right. I was indeed the one who abandoned those common people. Regardless of the result, I did wrong."

"Does your leg hurt?" Jiang Louyue changed the topic, "When we go back later, I'll go and ask a doctor."

"How did you know that I was injured at that time?" Caiang suddenly thought of what had happened above the river.

Jiang Louyue's footsteps were steady as he carried Caiang and walked forward. The seriousness from before suddenly disappeared, and he changed into an unnatural tone, "Jiaojiao and I share the same heart. The pain is on Jiaojiao's body, and the pain is in my heart. Jiaojiao's body has changed, but it can't hide from my heart."

Caiang, "..."

Even though Caiang knew that he didn't want to say it, he wouldn't continue to ask. He just felt a little suspicious.

Jiang Louyue had changed too much during this period of time. It was as if he had changed into another person after a single sleep.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had already investigated his soul, everything would be normal. Caiang really suspected that someone had used possession to occupy his body.

Moreover, what Hu Ling'er said at that time also made people feel strange.

"We want that man's skin. He is very special. We know that his soul has experienced a longer time than his body. We want to know why."

Why was Jiang Louyue so special? What did it mean that his soul had experienced a longer time than his body?

Cai Sang could not understand it either.

Old Master Hu was still lying on the bed. After Cai Sang returned, she placed the three souls in the glass bottle into Old Master Hu's body.

After the three souls entered his body, Old Master Hu still did not wake up.

Jiang Louyue guessed, "Maybe it's because the soul has left the body for too long, and will wake up after a period of time. Go and rest first. I have someone to invite a doctor. After that, ask someone to guard here. When Old Master Hu wakes up, hand him over to the yamen. At that time, how to convict him will be determined by the law. "

"It's just that Hu Shisan is pitiful." Cai Sang sighed.

That was a good child. In this period of time, he had been busy with the Thousand Faces. Who would have thought that he would find out about such an old matter in the end?

Jiang Louyue carried Cai Sang and went to the nearby inn. With the current situation, the Hu Mansion had no way to continue living.

The doctor had already been brought by the yamen. Jiang Louyue and the others were held in the hands of the yamen, and did not dare to be slow. After all, this case could only be solved by these Immortal Elders.

Jiang Louyue took this opportunity to go to Old Master Hu's room alone and took off a yellow talisman from his back. "Old Master Hu, wake up."

Old Master Hu's eyelids trembled as he slowly opened his eyes.

"Let's not talk about this. Old Master Hu, do you want to make a deal with me?" Jiang Louyue looked at the person on the bed and smiled.
