Chapter 14 Xie Xuan
He pulled away stiffly and immediately took a step back.

Xu Shanshan's eyes fell on his face, and he looked at him lightly, frowning slightly: "I remember that Lord Fu and Lord Hai once promised me that Master Jiashan would come in person to explain to me the cancellation of the engagement on Quexie Mountain..."

He was breathing heavily, and his eyes were dark.

"If you truly repent, you don't need me to be your monk. Buddha will save you."

"But Buddha has no affinity with me."

She used his words to stop him.

Without waiting for Jiashan to speak, Xu Shanshan said disappointedly: "Forget it, a sinner like me, even a saint like Master Jiashan would look down on me and not want to convert me. So why should I reform myself? I might as well continue to degenerate."

When Jiashan heard this, he thought of the matter between the city magistrate and the Liu family. If she really had bad intentions, wouldn't it bring endless disasters?

He was silent for a moment, and there was an unusual silence between the two of them.

After a brief standoff, Jiashan finally compromised.

His calm eyes were like a mirror, reflecting a spotless world and embracing everything, including her.

"I will ferry you across."

One was to make sense of the weird feeling about her, and the other... was just to fulfill the one-month agreement with the tribe.

After getting his promise, Xu Shanshan's intimidating look immediately disappeared.

The usual breeze and clouds are light and the leisurely and indifferent look is just like the distant and unpredictable clouds in the sky, so untouchable.

She bowed and said, "Thank you very much."

Jiashan was stunned and subconsciously returned the greeting.

"Amitabha."

He still couldn't connect the person in front of him with the Xu Shanshan in his memory. He sighed softly and turned around.

Excellent shoulder-to-waist ratio, one point more would increase, one point less would decrease, it has both grace and elegance, a kind of restrained holiness that is seductive without one's awareness... After her eyes swept over him, Xu Shanshan lowered her eyes.

I didn't expect that this body's lust for men could also affect her.

Jiashan seemed to sense some malicious gazes and felt a chill on his back, but when he turned around, he saw Xu Shanshan standing there properly. If it weren't for the evil thoughts behind her, she would have looked like an ordinary girl.

Maomao jumped onto her head and tilted his head: "You planned to scare the black cat, why didn't you take the opportunity to steal his Buddhist beads?"

"It's useless to rob him. He has to give it to me willingly. Only then can it work."

Things that people snatch will be tainted with resentment, and what she wants is the purest thing.

"When can I get it then?"

"I'm not in a hurry, so why are you? After I've dealt with the debts between the Liu family and the city magistrate, it should be time."

Mr. Liu rushed back to the Liu Mansion with an anxious and worried look on his face, and immediately called Liu Shiyou over.

"Tell me, what price did Master Xu ask you for?"

Liu Shiyou's expression immediately became unnatural: "Dad, what are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb. I went to the City Commander's Mansion with Master Xu today. She said that there are rules in her line of work and she can't help people for free. How did you invite her to our Liu family?"

"Dad, don't worry about this."

"Whatever price she wants, just ask me. Don't do anything stupid." Master Liu said in a deep voice.

Pity the parents of the world.

"Dad, have you found the mastermind?" Liu Shiyou quickly changed the subject.

After being reminded by him, Master Liu slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, right, I have to send this ebony ghost bead back to the Xie family as soon as possible. But if I send it directly like this, wouldn't it be a direct fallout? But we can't afford to offend the Xie family right now..."

Seeing that Master Liu was in a dilemma, Liu Shiyou reminded him, "Don't we have a pear wood secret box at home? We can put a precious item on top and hide the ebony ghost bead underneath. As long as the item is successfully delivered to the Xie family, the rest will be left to Xu Shanshan."

Master Liu's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea!"

-

"Sir, the Liu family just sent a box of something, saying it's a rare item, please accept it."

The guard held a pearwood box in his hands.

"Liu family?"

Xie Xuan was delighted when he heard that. He was originally lying on the bench, but he immediately sat up, wearing a black anaconda robe and a gilded belt. A strange smile appeared on his gentle and fair face.

"What is it?" He raised the corner of his mouth.

The guard checked it and said, "It is a night-shining pearl."

Xie Xuan stretched out his hand lazily: "Bring it here and let me see it."

"Yes."

Xie Xuan casually threw the pearwood box aside and played with the night pearl the size of a baby's fist with little interest.

"Small families can only afford small gifts like this."

A tall man in a black cloak walked in at this time. He first saluted Xie Xuan, and then his eyes involuntarily moved to the night pearl in his hand.

"Master Wu, what are you looking at? If you like it, I'll give it to you."

Although Xie Xuan had a smile on his face, his eyes showed hostility.

He doesn't like others coveting his things, even if it's something like this... he simply despises it.

Master Wu knew Xie Xuan's character very well, and quickly shook his head: "No, it's just that I feel something is not right with this night-shining pearl."

Xie Xuan glanced over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Master Wu hesitated for a moment, but still insisted, "Thank you, sir, for lending me the Night Pearl so I can take a closer look at it."

Xie Xuan narrowed his eyes, stared at his serious face for a moment, and snorted, "Take it."

Xie Xuan threw the night pearl to him.

Master Wu took it with both hands, looked at it carefully for a moment, and suddenly his eyes became sinister: "Sure enough, this night-shining pearl has the scent of the ebony ghost pearl. Sir, where did you get this thing?"

Xie Xuan looked confused: "Liu family."

"Is there a box for storing things?"

"Of course there is."

Master Wu followed Xie Xuan's gaze and saw the pearwood box that had fallen to the ground. He stared at it intently for a while, then borrowed a knife and split it open.

Then an ebony bead rolled out, which happened to be the one they had given to the Liu family before.

As soon as he stretched out his hand to pick it up and examine it, his pupils suddenly dilated. A force more domineering and powerful than the evil energy from the bead rushed into his body. He could not bear it at all and suddenly bent over and vomited blood.

He hurriedly took out a wooden plaque and stuck it on the ebony ghost bead. The murderous intent that made him scared to death was immediately sucked in, and he escaped from death.

"Who is it? How could he break the evil spirit on my ebony ghost bead and also impose a layer of backlash restriction!" Master Wu was shocked.

Xie Xuan also sat up straight at once.

"What do you mean?" he asked coldly.

Master Wu's face was as pale as a ghost at this time. He gasped and said, "Sir, the Liu family must have really invited a powerful person. Even I... was almost murdered by him."

Xie Xuan didn't care about Master Wu's life or death. He slowly stood up, exuding a suffocating breath of death.

"Heh, it seems the Liu family knows about it."

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a creepy smile: "Since the plan has changed, I can only go to Jiangling City in person."

-

Gangneung City

Maomao was shocked: Shan, your restriction has been triggered!
