City Lord Lin and a group of officials entertained the envoys from the capital in the front yard.

After three rounds of drinking, the Imperial Master asked,

"When I came here, I heard many times on the way about the good deeds done by the second son and his wife in your house. Your son and his wife are both very kind and blessed people."

"Before they left, His Majesty knew they had just gotten married, and he specially gifted the two newlyweds with many precious treasures. Lord Lin, please go and invite the Second Young Master and his wife out to express their gratitude."

"It's extreme, it's extreme."

Lord Feng stroked his beard and responded,

"Lord Lin, please quickly invite the two newlyweds to come out to receive their reward. His Majesty has also instructed me that if the two gentlemen are still unable to leave Yangcheng this time, then the Second Young Master and his wife should go to the capital first. His Majesty wishes to meet them."

Feng Heng is the name of this imperial envoy. City Lord Lin and County Magistrate Jin have served as officials here for many years.

Although this area was governed very well, the more so, the more the emperor paid attention to it, and the imperial envoys sent to inspect it every year were different people.

"this......"

City Lord Lin frowned and could only order one of his attendants to ask Miss Jin and her husband to come out.

In this dynasty, the rule of seniority between men and women is not very strict, and Miss Jin is a married woman, so there is nothing wrong with her appearing on this occasion with her husband.

What's more, this is the emperor's reward to his subjects, and Miss Jin often practices medicine outside, so there is no reason for her to avoid showing up.

Similarly, there was no way to refuse to let the couple go to Beijing.

Miss Jin and her husband arrived soon, and after thanking the emperor, they left.

"Wait!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. The Imperial Master stood up and walked quickly towards Miss Jin and her husband, shouting again.

"Wait! She has a demonic aura!"

He restrained his smile and pointed directly at Miss Jin.

When these words came out, everyone present was shocked. Lin Ci blocked Miss Jin behind him and shouted angrily:

"Master Imperial Master, be careful with your words! My wife has always been kind and virtuous, and everyone in Yangcheng knows that!"

Lin Jin's fathers also frowned, and Lord Lin said calmly,

"Is the Imperial Master drunk? Come, help the Master to the guest room to rest."

"Yes, the Imperial Master is probably drunk. How could Miss Jin be a monster?"

"That's right. My father fell seriously ill last year. If it weren't for Miss Jin's intervention, I would probably be in mourning in my hometown by now. How could a monster save me?"

"Master Chen is absolutely right. My son fell into the water while playing around a while ago, and it was thanks to Miss Jin..."

The Yangcheng officials present at the banquet also spoke out in support. Not to mention that Lord Lin was the highest-ranking official here, Miss Jin herself was worthy of respect in Yangcheng.

The Imperial Master didn't listen to the nonsense of these people at all, and directly stopped the attendant who was about to go over to help him rest.

"presumptuous!"

He looked at the person behind Lin Ci with a sharp gaze.

"When I say she has demonic energy, it's true. Move aside. I can prove it."

Ning Jiasheng and a group of people were watching on the roof. How could this old man prove that Ji He had appeared?

If it wanted to, it could be a pure human being. It couldn't just say that the plum blossom was a demon pattern.

Not to mention that it is impossible for that place to be exposed, even if it is seen, ordinary people will only think it is a birthmark or a tattoo.

Seeing that Lin Ci was still looking at him angrily, and that all the officials around him, except Feng Heng, were hostile to him, the Imperial Master said sternly,

"You keep trying to stop her. Are you trying to protect her from going to the capital to assassinate His Majesty?"

"you--"

"My lords, calm down. I have nothing to fear from my own shadow. How can the Imperial Master prove that I have demonic aura?"

Miss Jin grabbed Lin Ci, turned around and walked out, looking at the Imperial Master calmly and speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The Imperial Master smiled in an unfathomable way.

"I know you're possessed by Miss Jin, and ordinary methods won't force you out. However, after hearing about Miss Jin's story, I went to Meiling before entering the city."

At this point, a flag appeared out of thin air in the hands of the Imperial Master, and he waved it, saying, "You bold plum demon, why don't you show yourself!"

A strong wind blew up at the spot and blew Miss Jin's hair apart, but there was no change in her body.

Miss Jin adjusted the pearl hairpin on her head, moved her lips, and said softly,

"I don't know how I have offended the Imperial Master, to have him humiliate me like this."

The officials of Yangcheng glared at the Imperial Master, and Lord Feng was not in a position to speak for him anymore. He smiled awkwardly and picked up the teacup.

Lord Lin frowned and said in a stern tone, "Why would the Imperial Master insult my Lin family?"

The Lin family has the title of Duke, and Lord Lin is a high-ranking official. The Lin family is one of the most prominent nobles in the capital and is not afraid of facing the Imperial Master at all.

But this national teacher is not an ordinary sorcerer, he is an evil cultivator, and also a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage.

It's just that he was seriously injured in the world of cultivation and fled to the floating world to avoid disaster.

He was used to a life of extravagance in the world of cultivation, so when he came to the floating world, he disguised himself as an immortal and deceived the emperor, whose health had been getting worse in the past two years.

He refined many elixirs for the emperor that could make him feel energetic, and was deeply trusted by the emperor.

Especially after he found out that there were few legitimate cultivators in the mortal world, he secretly ordered people to capture young boys and girls from all over the place for his cultivation.

A while ago, he heard the emperor and his ministers talking about Yangcheng, and he found out that there was something strange about this place as soon as he asked around.

There is little spiritual energy in the world, and natural treasures are hard to come by. His injuries have been recovering slowly even with the blood of these boys. When he heard about Yangcheng, he knew that the opportunity had come.

The Imperial Master did not think that there was anything in the mortal world that he could not handle, so he volunteered to follow the Emperor.

He secretly went to Meiling on the way and was even more confident that he could capture the plum monster.

"Miss Jin, are you trying to be an accomplice to this evil? You keep covering up for this plum monster."

The Imperial Master ignored Lord Lin and just looked at Miss Jin and spoke seriously.

"I don't understand what the Imperial Master is talking about. Could it be that he is deliberately coming to the Lin Mansion to cause trouble today?"

Lord Lin, the leader, could no longer bear it.

"The Imperial Master has been stirring up trouble time and again for no reason. Do you really think there is no one in my Lin clan?"

He shouted: "Someone come——"

A team of palace soldiers immediately rushed in and surrounded the place.

The Imperial Master smiled contemptuously.

"Even though it hasn't revealed itself, the scent of red plum blossoms on Miss Jin is evidence of the Plum Demon's possession. It can't be concealed."

"I will not argue with you today. Once I find the evidence, I will capture this monster and return to the capital to report."

After the Imperial Master finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and disappeared.

The banquet ended hastily, and Ning Jiasheng and others went to Miss Jin and her husband's yard to wait.

After Miss Jin and her husband came back, Ning Jiasheng went into the room with them alone, and Ji He set up a barrier.

Ning Jiasheng asked directly, "Why didn't that old thief just take action?"

"He's injured, and this is my territory. He'll lose if we fight."

Ji He was just stating the facts.

Ning Jiasheng recalled Ji He's previous attack on Chang Zonghuan outside the illusion, told him about it, and then reminded him:

"I'm afraid the old thief will start with the common people, so you should be more careful."

Ji He nodded, "Thank you."

Although they all knew in their hearts that this was just an illusion, no matter how they took precautions, the deceased could not be saved.

Ning Jiasheng was not good at comforting people, so after he finished talking, he said goodbye and went back with his companions to prepare for a possible battle.
