I Can’t Be a Sword God

Luna Ling was arrested.

Those who divided Chaotianque and Deyun breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone in Deyun's view thought that Li Chu had finally returned, so there was no need to worry now.

And everyone in Chaotianque thought that Li Chu had finally left, so there was no need to worry now...

On the world-famous indestructible iron prison, there are two big holes shining brightly, and Mr. Jin still doesn't know how to deal with them.

You can open the front and back doors...

Before returning to Chaoge City, Duan Lulong found Li Chu again.

And presented a silver note of one hundred thousand taels.

Li Chu showed a sincere smile, "Duan Mangpao is too polite, just come."

Duan Lulong said with a smile: "Of course this is not a door-to-door ceremony, but a thank you to Daoist Li for helping us guard the demon clan's prison, and even beheaded a demon king, which is a well-deserved reward."

Li Chu's eyes lit up: "If you kill a demon king, you will get one hundred thousand taels?"

Duan Lulong caught a hint of danger from these words.

He quickly explained: "The value of a demon king is far more than one hundred thousand taels... However, we will not encourage the behavior of hunting and killing monsters at will. This reward is mainly for the protection of the iron prison... ...If you killed the Demon King in other places, there probably won't be any..."

Li Chu withdrew his gaze, smiled and said, "I'll just ask casually."

Really?

Duan Lulong wiped the cold sweat from his brow, feeling suspicious in his heart.

Li Chu asked again: "What gain can be gained from the interrogation of the man from the Demon Sect? I have always suspected that they might have some conspiracy at the Huadu Conference."

Duan Lulong was silent for a while, and then said: "She is dead."

...

Luna Ling died during the interrogation.

At that time, she was wrapped with complicated chains and talismans, and Duan Geng sat in front of her and asked the first question.

"Are you responsible for the two cases of Donghai Palace and Chengnan Medical Center?"

Luna Ling didn't make a sound, but just looked at him calmly.

"What conspiracy do you have in Shenluo City?" Duan Geng asked again.

Luna Ling remained silent, but a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"I know you are Cang Haijun's subordinate, but if you cooperate with our inquiry, the court may spare your life." Duan Geng advised.

then.

A fissure of light appeared on Luna Ling's face, just like a broken mirror. From this first fissure, complex fissures like spider webs quickly emerged.

"Stop!" Duan Geng shouted suddenly, wanting to stop it.

But it was already too late, there was a crisp sound, as if something broke inside Luna Ling's body.

Her eyes lost their luster in an instant.

Duan Geng stared at Yue Shenling's body with fixed eyebrows, and shook his fist heavily.

...

Empty pavilions, calm sea charts, this scene seems to never change.

Cang Haijun sat in the center, with a pile of white debris in front of him.

"Did Luna Ling die like this..." Opposite him, the white-robed young man still had a look of shock on his face, "She..."

"She has fallen into an iron prison. Rescuing her has a very low chance of success. We have learned from the past." Mr. Cang Hai remained expressionless, "It is better to smash the soul mirror earlier to prevent her from being forced to confess."

He looked up at the young man in white robe, "It's not me who is killing her, but Chao Tianque is killing her."

"I'm worried that if this happens..." The white-robed boy hurriedly lowered his head, "There will be only the Flower God Order left...there will be a shortage of manpower."

"There will never be a shortage of helpers in this world." Cang Haijun smiled slightly, "As long as you can afford it."

"Yes." The boy replied.

"Before I came to Shenluo City, I told you all." Cang Haijun said slowly again: "To cut down into the earth immortal, you must completely cut off the remnants of the past and clear the obsessions in your heart. And my obsession The thought... is very big. In order to clear it, many people may die. As long as those who survive in the end can get a reward that satisfies you."

The young man said heavily: "I am willing to die for my lord!"

Cang Haijun turned his head and looked out, his eyes reaching to the distant sky.

"The day to see whether I can succeed is coming soon."

...

"The master said before that you can take the girl away at any time, and now you finally believe it."

In Deyun's view, Duranke smiled.

Next to him were Li Chu and Wei Jiangli, and on the opposite side was Su Wan who came to Deyun Fenguan again.

It's just that Su Wan's expression today is somewhat complicated.

She shook her head and said with a wry smile: "I came here to say that I already know the whole story, and I did misunderstand before. But... If you like Jiangli, you can stay here for a while longer."

"Ah?" Duranke was more nervous than Wei Jiangli himself, "The Huadu Conference is about to start! Miss Jiangli doesn't go to build momentum or train, this will greatly affect the results."

Wang Longqi, who happened to be passing by, glanced at him, sat down and said with a smile, "Hehe, I can't see that you are still a career fan, Lao Du."

Afterwards, Su Wan said in a low voice: "The Yin clan withdrew, and our original biggest benefactor, the King of the East China Sea, suddenly died... The East China Sea Palace has also withdrawn its capital from Youlanxuan, and the Huadu Conference is approaching, which is a blow to Youlanxuan." too big."

Speaking of which, You Lanxuan was really unlucky.

Originally, quitting a Yin clan was not considered a serious injury, but once the King of the East China Sea died, the problem became serious. Unfortunately, the king of the East China Sea does not have any successor for the time being. And those who deal with all the properties of the Donghai Palace are royal officials from Chaoge City, and their methods are very simple and rude.

All the industries developed by the former King of the East China Sea were withdrawn, and the gold and silver were sealed up in the warehouse to ensure that the next King of the East China Sea who appeared at an unknown time could take over completely without any omissions in the middle.

Otherwise, if they continue to keep it in the form of property, they will not get credit for making money in the future, and they will have to pay for it if they lose money.

Su Wan has a lot of contacts in Shenluo City, but when it comes to the Chaoge royal family, she is completely powerless to change.

Wang Longqi asked curiously: "But You Lanxuan is such an increasingly profitable industry, even if the King of the East China Sea withdraws the capital, someone will take over, right?"

Su Wan frowned, "I've talked to some of the merchants I work with, but they all know that You Lanxuan is in a difficult situation, and the Huadu Conference is imminent, so they all want to take advantage of the fire and try to take away the control of You Lanxuan. You Lanxuan is the painstaking effort of half my life, and I will never let it out."

Everyone nodded. It is really not that easy to find a suitable partner in this situation.

The most important thing is that the Huadu Conference is about to start.

This grand event is not just a simple group of oirans singing, dancing, and comparing their talents. Behind this is a battle without gunpowder.

In this war, every brothel needs a terrifying investment.

Admission to the conference requires a fairly high membership fee and financial guarantee. In addition, there are costs for campaigning and publicity, which are also huge expenses. The biggest expense is the cost of purchasing silk in the final stage.

Because in the final stage, the winner of the good girls is to see which girl's "flower road" goes the farthest.

And this so-called "flower road" can only be paved with a foot of flower silk for dozens of taels of silver! The price of Huasi is different every year. For an unprecedented winter conference like this year, the price must be extremely high.

Although these flower silks are supposed to be purchased by fans of good girls, they actually contain a lot of water. In order to heighten the atmosphere, attract people to follow suit, or for some other purposes, each brothel itself needs to buy sky-high priced silks every year.

Of course, after the flower road is over.

The common people's money was divided into accounts, and the brothel's money was returned in full.

These investments often yield multiple returns in the end.

However, if you do not have strong financial support, you are not qualified to participate in this war at all. Or forcibly participate, and finally the funds are broken, and the money is lost at every turn.

Wei Jiangli looked at Su Wan's frowning, and reached out to hold her hand, "Aunt Wan, I will always support you. No matter what you do, I will follow you."

Su Wan forced a smile, and comforted her: "Don't worry too much, the big deal is that you won't participate this year. Anyway, you are still young, even if you miss a year, it's better than rushing to the stage. If you don't get a good ranking, you will be ruined instead. Shop sign."

Wei Jiangli nodded: "Yes."

At this time, Li Chu looked at Wang Longqi: "Isn't your princess rich in wealth, is it possible for her to inject capital into Youlanxuan?"

"well……"

Speaking of this, Wang Longqi suddenly sighed leisurely, "We have already broken up."

"Oh?" Old Du raised his eyebrows: "Are you really planning to run away?"

"Fart." Wang Longqi gave him a blank look, and said, "Of course I am a good man who will never change, but after the death of the King of the East China Sea, she became the lone star of Tiansha...so she was called into Chaoge City, listening It is said that... the Holy Spirit intends to send her out to make a kiss."

Old Du blinked, and then realized, "My good fellow, this must be a big revenge."

Wang Longqi sighed again: "Holy fate is hard to break, and...it is said that her child can be justified to become the next King of the East China Sea. I can only...Old Du, you understand?"

"I understand." Lao Du patted him on the shoulder understandingly, "There is a kind of love called letting go."

"However..." Wang Longqi turned his head to look at Su Wan, and said, "Although I can't help you make connections in this regard, I can contribute 5,000 taels to sponsor You Lanxuan."

Su Wan smiled.

"Thank you, Wang Qishao, but... to participate in the Huadu Conference, you need an investment of one million taels. Even if I have already given out all my net worth, no matter how much I borrow, there is still a gap of at least 300,000 taels The gap. Your five thousand taels..."

She shook her head helplessly.

When Li Chu heard this, his eyes moved.

"How much difference?"

"At least three hundred thousand taels." Su Wan repeated.

Li Chu couldn't help being suspicious.

These girls...

Shouldn't it be accurate?

But if you take it seriously, You Lanxuan's unreasonable disaster this time has something to do with him. Whether it was the Yin clan's withdrawal or the death of the King of the East China Sea, if you think about it carefully, it really started with him kidnapping the girl Jiangli.

Li Chu was somewhat embarrassed.

but……

All the wealth, not warmed up...

It must be a little distressed...

I heard Wang Longqi say again: "Just accept it, You Lanxuan has given me a lot of warmth. Although the money is not much, it is more or less a heart."

"Hehe." Su Wan smiled, then took the five thousand taels of banknotes, and said, "Okay, if I haven't raised all the money and can't participate in the Huadu Conference, I will return the money to you." Wang Qishao. If I raise all the money, as long as Jiang Li goes on stage, then Qishao will at least... get five times the income."

Wang Longqi chuckled: "That's the best."

After finishing speaking, Su Wan was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, Li Chu suddenly shouted: "Wait!"

"Huh?" Su Wan turned her head and asked, "Is there something else for Mr. Li?"

The voice did not fall.

see you.

Li Chu took out two crumpled banknotes from his chest, squeezed them tightly, and handed them to Su Wan very slowly.

"My master, my apprentice, and myself... the coffin book of our entire Deyun Temple is here, exactly three hundred thousand taels."

Li Chu gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice, "Take it."

Su Wan looked at Li Chu in surprise, "Xiao Daoist Li, you... are really..."

"It's nothing." Li Chu's face was full of indescribable solemnity.

"The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes talk about righteousness."
