Chapter 72: Face

Wei Wushuang's face suddenly drenched. He looked at Shangguan Cai and Xia Fan,

not knowing what to say.

"No," At this point, Xia Fan had nothing to hide. "I have thought about this

question. Even if the Privy Council does not know the specific situation, it

will definitely be able to guess a general idea."

The formation of evil spirits is related to strong qi. Since qi is the will of

living beings, it is an obvious inference that there are a large number of

abnormal deaths in Gaoshan County. Even he knew this. The Privy Council could

not be unaware of it. In fact, when he was engaged in a dialogue with the

Order, he already felt that the other party was trying to lead the topic to

other areas, but he had no evidence at that time. There was no real certainty,

so he did not refute it on the spot.

After all, there is no right to speak without investigation.

The fellow villagers were surprised, "Then why did the Privy Council ignore

this? Even if you can't intervene in government affairs, it is still feasible

to inform the State Shepherd House and let them investigate?"

"I think... I'm afraid they don't want to exterminate evil spirits."

"Huh," Shangguan Cai chuckled, "So you noticed it too."

"What, what do you mean?" Wei Wushuang wondered.

"Think of what the ** judge said." Xia Fan sighed, "That's the answer."

——"The promotion of civil servants depends on political achievements, what do

we rely on? Isn't it the credit of these demon-killing and ridiculous?"

"If the evil in a place is swept away, wouldn't the alchemist just sit in the

mansion and waste time?"

"A good day is when there is evil!"

He didn't take it to heart at first. The alchemist liked the merits of

eliminating evil, just as the sergeant favored the merits of war. There was

nothing wrong with his mentality. But the deeper the investigation, the

stronger the uneasy sign in his heart, and the Privy Council is afraid that

the bottom line has already been crossed.

The reason for the upper class to sit and ignore is precisely this feat-it can

not only bring promotion, but also maintain the influence of the Privy

Council.

"No way..." All the fellow villagers were left muttering.

Xia Fan thought more deeply.

He still remembers the cause of death mentioned by the old man of the Zhou

family.

was entangled in something unclean... and finally died of illness.

For example, the ghost he had encountered.

If the processor is professional enough, this kind of invisible evil can

completely deplete a person's vitality without knowing it.

"It's okay to say that if you offend the prefect, if you offend the Privy

Council, I'm afraid you will have a very miserable life in the next half of

your life. You don't want to live the life of the former, right?" Shangguan

Cai said frankly, "Only stop now. Too late-the Privy Council currently does

not know about this, and for Huzhi County, it is just two subordinates who

have died. If you don't go to him, he will certainly not provoke you in turn.

In short, I finally became An alchemist doesn’t want to abandon this promising

future, so...I quit."

"I understand." Xia Fan nodded.

"You don't blame me?"

"I understand you. If I haven't seen anything else, I might make the same

choice as you."

Shangguan Cai's pupils shrank suddenly, "Something else...what is it?"

"You said that the world is the way it is, but the so-called world is just

created by people themselves. Everyone-including you and me."

After speaking, Xia Fan looked at Wei Wushuang, "No matter what choice you

make, I have no opinion. You have helped me a lot, thank you."

"Brother Xia..."

He turned and walked towards the county seat without waiting for the answer

from the other party.

"Hey," Shangguan Cai frowned, "You don't really want to be on the wanted list

of the Privy Council, do you? Once you step into the residence of the prefect,

there is no turning back!"

Xia Fan waved his hand and quickly left the vision of the two.

And beside a big tree beside the road, he saw a familiar figure.

"Have you heard everything?"

"Yeah." Li straightened up his hat and stepped to keep up, "I reminded you."

"Yes, you know it earlier than me."

"But I didn't expect you to find the result."

"Without your help, it would not have gone so well."

"Just know."

Xia Fan hesitated, "Are you going with me?"

"Otherwise," Li asked rhetorically.

"I'm afraid I can't stay in the Privy Council."

"You don't want to study alchemy anymore?"

"No."

"Is that to help the people of Gaoshan County?"

"Not all... and partly for myself."

"yourself?"

"Well, in cliché terms, it is called inaccessible thoughts and hinders

practice."

"I have never heard of such a statement," Li said straightforwardly. "You can

still vent your breath even if you are angry."

"Ah...actually I can't pass my own level." Xia Fan decided to tell him

frankly, "I can't regard the elimination of evil as a feat of climbing

upwards, as well as the main source of funds, especially when I know the

origin of these evils. After. So... sorry, secretly help you inquire about the

whereabouts of Master in the Privy Council—"

Li interrupted, "If you can't become an alchemist, will you continue to help

me rescue Master?"

"of course."

"Then there is no need to apologize, because the basis of cooperation at the

beginning is that you are willing to help me, not that you are an alchemist."

At this point, the fox demon paused a little, "In addition, I must also

confess one thing~ www.mtlnovel.com~What's the matter?"

"Although I didn't want you to pursue it at first, but now that the situation

is like this, I don't feel much upset--or rather, it's a little easier."

Xia Fan was taken aback for a moment. He couldn't help looking sideways at the

fox demon. What caught her eyes were her golden eyes and the natural smile at

the corners of her mouth.

"By the way, my injury is over."

This sentence is quite "beef, I have eaten" posture.

"So what?" Xia Fan didn't react for a while.

"So we can run faster." After saying that, Li grabbed Xia Fan, directly

clamped him between his waist, and ran two steps to jump up!

He felt himself flying instantly--

With a single person, the fox-monsters raised their speed to a notch with only

their legs, and they no longer walked along the road, but jumped on the roof

of the room; the starry and moonlight above their heads are in full view. They

are all pointing the way.

Is this the true power of the fox demon?

Xia Fan simply let go of her hands and let her run fast with her sandwiched

between her.

Although his posture is not very elegant, since no one will see it, he decides

to fulfill the other party. For some reason, he felt that Li, who was running

with all his strength at the moment, seemed a little different from before.

"If it fails, have you figured out where to go?" Li's voice echoed in the

wind.

"Not yet." Xia Fan also replied loudly, "But the world is so big, there are

always places they can't find!"

"I think so." She hugged Xia Fan tightly, "Get ready, we are here!"

With the help of a long run-up, the two stepped on the end of the ridge of the

last house, jumped high, directly over the street and courtyard wall, and fell

into the prefectural mansion from mid-air.
