Quick Wear: The paranoid beauty grabs the waist and spoils her

The person who made the voice had a stern face and eyes like stars. He was Si Xing, the captain of the law enforcement team of the City Lord's Mansion of Bugui City.

Si Xing's gaze was like the most precise ruler, sweeping across the razed gambling house, the shattered ice corpses, the sunken ground and the messy streets. There was not the slightest fluctuation in his eyes, only an almost cold anger at the violation of the rules.

He took a step forward, and the gravel under his feet made a harsh grinding sound, like the sound of cold iron colliding, resounding throughout the venue:

"Do not return to the city, private fighting is strictly prohibited! Destroying the city and injuring civilians is also strictly prohibited!"

His cold gaze was like a solid ice cone, piercing Bai Li and Lu Mingxuan.

"Who are you? How dare you disregard the city rules and cause such a disaster! Surrender immediately and be taken to the prison to await the city lord's decision!"

Every word was powerful, carrying with it unquestionable authority and absolute "stubbornness".

The air around seemed to be frozen by this iron declaration.

The fleeing people were trembling in the distance, the surviving law enforcement officers were holding their weapons tightly, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Faced with this grim situation, Lu Mingxuan's face turned ashen, and the knuckles of his sword-holding hand turned white due to the force. His pride as the "Sword-Forgetting Immortal" made him instinctively resist the humiliation of "surrendering", but the fierce battle with Bai Li just now consumed him greatly, and his heart was shaken by Bai Li's words. His breath had not yet calmed down, and he found it difficult to refute for a while.

However, Bai Li still had that lazy look, as if the sky had fallen and he was using it as a blanket.

He even had the leisure to brush off the dust on the cuffs of his brocade robe, as if he was not the one who had just destroyed the world.

Faced with Si Xing's freezing gaze and harsh scolding, he was not panicked. Instead, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Tsk tsk, Captain Si Xing is so majestic."

Bai Li spoke slowly, his voice was casual as usual, but it was clearly heard throughout the ruins.

"But..."

He changed the subject, reached his slender fingers into his arms, and slowly took out something.

It was a square diamond-shaped token, made of neither gold nor jade. It felt smooth to the touch, and had a deep dark green color all over.

On the front of the token, there is an intricately carved snow lotus that seems to be blooming proudly in the wind and snow, and each petal exudes a restrained and mysterious glow.

The moment the token appeared, the pupils of Si Xing and the law enforcement officers behind him suddenly contracted!

It was like seeing something incredible, even my breath was held in place!

The law enforcement tokens on their waists seemed to resonate faintly, emitting a faint buzzing sound.

This token represents a certain "privilege" above the rules of the City of No Return. It is an extremely rare token granted by the city lord himself!

However, the shock in Si Xing's eyes only lasted for a moment, and was immediately replaced by a deeper, almost stubborn persistence.

He stood straight, like an iron spear that would never bend, and withstood the invisible pressure from the token. He said in a deep voice, "This token can indeed exempt you from some city regulations, but it does not exempt you from the serious crime of destroying the city and injuring people! Your Excellency the Demon King, please cooperate and come with us!"

His voice was still cold and hard, revealing a kind of stubbornness that said, "Even if you are the king of the world, you have to follow the rules if they break them."

The atmosphere became tense again.

At this moment, a woman in smart clothes stood out from the law enforcement team.

Her outfit has a calm black base, while the collar and cuffs are accentuated with fiery red, like a dancing flame in the dark night.

Her long black hair was neatly tied into a high ponytail, revealing her smooth, full forehead and a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle.

She walked steadily, and every step she took carried an aura that could not be ignored.

She walked straight to Si Xing's side, without looking at the token in Bai Li's hand, but first glanced at Si Xing with her cold eyes.

The look was calm, yet it carried an invisible pressure that made the upright Captain Si Xing choke and swallow the rest of his words subconsciously.

Then, the woman turned to Bai Li and Lu Mingxuan, a perfect, professional smile instantly appeared on her face, and she bowed slightly, with smooth and elegant movements:

"Captain Si Xing is doing his duty. He is a man of impartiality and justice. If there has been any offense, please forgive me, Excellencies."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, like pearls falling on a jade plate, but with a subtle sense of alienation and control.

"I am the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Hui Niang. This place is in a mess, not a place for conversation. However, the rules cannot be abolished, and the reasons cannot be unclear. I don't know why the Monster King and the Sword-Forgetting Immortal started a war here, destroying my city and hurting my people? Please help Hong Xiao solve this puzzle."

She kept a low profile and spoke politely, but the words "rules cannot be abolished", "destroying my city" and "hurting my people" were very strong, pointing out the core and seriousness of the matter and cleverly kicking the ball back.

Bai Li raised his eyebrows and seemed more interested in the sudden appearance of the powerful housekeeper Hui Niang.

He put away his cynical and careless attitude, showed a very "sincere" expression on his face, and spoke first:

"Master, please understand!"

He pointed at Lu Mingxuan, who had a grim look on his face, and spoke in an innocent yet aggrieved tone.

"I just came to this gambling house to have some fun. As soon as I walked out of the door, this 'Sword Forgetting Immortal' Lu Daoyou slashed at me with his sword without any reason!

He was so cruel, he wanted to kill me! Look around here, the sword energy of the first sword was all from him! I can't just stand there and let him chop me, right?

I had to try my best to protect myself and caused some trouble. Speaking of which, I am also a victim! How can I be blamed for destroying the city and injuring the people? "

In just a few words, he cleared himself of all charges, portrayed the image of "forced to fight back" and "victim" extremely well, and also pointed out that Lu Mingxuan was the culprit.

"you……!"

Lu Mingxuan was so angry that his face turned pale and his chest rose and fell violently. He pointed at Bai Li and said angrily

"It is you, the evildoer, who stole... possessed the evil things and misled the people with your lies! I am here to eliminate evil and defend justice..."

"Demon slayer?"

Bai Li sneered and interrupted him, his eyes instantly becoming as sharp as a knife, "Chief Executive Jiang, listen! What is the 'evil thing' he is talking about?"

He once again showed the acacia bracelet that emitted an ominous red light from his sleeve, and his voice suddenly became higher and full of sarcasm.

"This is the relic of his lover, the fox demon Qinghe, who was pierced through the heart by Lu Mingxuan's sword two hundred years ago outside the city of No Return! It was the token of love he had pledged to his wife! Now it has become the evil thing he wants to 'get rid of'?

Lu Mingxuan, do you dare to say to Qing He's spirit in heaven, to this string of acacia seeds stained with her heart's blood, that it is an 'evil thing' again? Do you dare to say that you killed her back then not because of your bullshit 'Forget Love Sword Art', not because you were greedy for the immortal path and were afraid of being implicated? ! "

Bai Li's words were like a poisoned dagger, accurately cutting into the wound that Lu Mingxuan was most reluctant to face.

Especially when the name "Qinghe" was mentioned again, and when the string of acacia seeds flashed red before his eyes like a curse.

Lu Mingxuan's body trembled violently, and the hand holding the sword began to shake violently. His face turned from pale to blue, and his lips moved. He wanted to refute, to angrily denounce Bai Li's slander, to defend himself for the greater good...

But fragments of the past were churning in the sea of ​​consciousness. The pair of desperate and unbelievable eyes of Qinghe before his death seemed to be right in front of him. All his excuses became pale and powerless, stuck in his throat, and turned into a suppressed groan of pain.

He stared at the string of acacia seeds, his eyes filled with struggle, pain, regret and the shame of having his scars exposed in public, but he was... speechless.

Under the steward's all-seeing gaze, under the stern and upright watchfulness of Captain Si Xing, and under the silent accusation of the surrounding ruins, this leader of the immortal sect known for "forgetting the sword" felt embarrassed and ashamed for the first time.

Manager Jiang's gaze lingered on Lu Mingxuan's painfully struggling face for a moment, then fell on the string of strange acacia seeds in Bai Li's hand, and finally swept across the tragic ruins around him. In the depths of his cold eyes, a barely perceptible understanding and solemnity flashed.

The complexity of the matter seemed to be far beyond a simple fight.
