Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Chapter 223: Return from the Dream (60)

Nanzhi was stunned, not knowing how to respond. She could only say, "Then I owe you a favor. If you need anything from me in the future, I will definitely not refuse unless it violates moral principles or laws."

After saying that, she ran towards Zhuo Yichen who was surrounded by the girls downstairs and couldn't escape.

Looking at Nanzhi's back as she ran down the stairs, Li Lun said to Ao Yin who appeared behind him, "Go help them."

"Yes, sir." Ao Yin looked at Zhuo Yichen and the others downstairs, and became angry when she thought of how Ying Lei had grabbed her without any reason.

……

Nanzhi ran downstairs and dragged Zhuo Yichen out from the crowd of cosmetics.

"Xiao Zhuo, why are you here?" Aren't they investigating the murderer of the prime minister in the mountains outside Tiandu?

Suddenly breaking away from the strong smell of powder, Zhuo Yichen looked embarrassed and nervous as if he had been caught by Nanzhi: "I'm not here to stroll... I came here following Ao Yin's scent... No, Nanzhi, why are you here?"

Yinglei and Baijiu also ran over.

"Oh my God, this is too scary!" Ying Lei patted his chest.

When he saw Nanzhi, his handsome face was filled with exaggerated shock: "Nan, Nanzhi, why are you visiting Tianxiang Pavilion?"

The sky is falling! Could it be that Nanzhi likes women?!

Bai Jiu also looked at Nanzhi with curiosity.

"I'm not here to hang out!" Nanzhi said embarrassedly, her fair face flushed pink. "I'm here to ask Li Lun about the Prime Minister's murder."

"Why is Li Lun here?" Ying Lei asked curiously.

Then he clenched his right fist and clapped it against his left hand: "Oh, I see, he's the one who came here to shop!"

Bai Jiu was puzzled: "Could it be that he was locked up for too long, and as soon as he got out he came to Tianxiang Pavilion to have fun? That's not right. Li Lun is a demon. Doesn't he hate and look down on people the most?"

"But there's no place like Tianxiang Pavilion in the Great Wilderness." Ying Lei spread his hands. "If he wants to have fun, he can only come to a place like this."

Nanzhi: "..."

Nanzhi was about to laugh at their speculations. She explained, "Li Lun once possessed Zhimei. I came to Tianxiang Pavilion with a gamble in mind, but I didn't expect he was actually here."

"That makes even more sense." Bai Jiu acted like a grown-up. "When Li Lun was sealed, he possessed Zhimei for fun. After he came out, he even came here in person to have fun. It's clear that he's a demon who enjoys fun."

"Is this the fun I was thinking of?" Ying Lei blinked, almost confused, but: "Xiao Jiu, what you said does make sense."

Zhuo Yichen returned to the topic and asked, "What was the result?"

Nanzhi also said seriously: "Li Lun said it wasn't him. He didn't order Ao Yin to kill the Prime Minister, and Ao Yin didn't do it either."

Yinglei suspected: "Nanzhi, could it be that he lied to you?"

"I found traces of Ao Yin and the smell of sulfur on the mountain where the woodcutter was killed. We even followed the scent of the spices I sprinkled on Ao Yin all the way to Tianxiang Pavilion."

Bai Jiu nodded: "Li Lun's words are very doubtful."

"But," Nanzhi said, "Li Lun said he would have Ao Yin transform into Sister Wen Xiao in public to help clear Sister Wen Xiao of suspicion of murdering the Prime Minister."

Yinglei was silent.

Bai Jiu was also silent.

There was a moment of silence before the two men said in unison: "There is definitely a conspiracy."

"Master Xiao Zhuo, why are you running? Could it be that our girl is not to your liking?" The madam who caught up with them suddenly stopped talking when she saw Nanzhi.

Seeing the madam coming over, Zhuo Yichen immediately hid behind Nanzhi, frowned, and said sternly: "You, don't come over here!"

The madam paused and looked at Nanzhi and Zhuo Yichen with a strange look: "You...?"

The last time this lady's husband was a handsome man, how come the handsome Xiao Zhuo, the dream of thousands of girls in Tiandu City, and this lady are also...

Before Nanzhi could explain, the madam asked hesitantly, "Are you also husband and wife?"

"What do you mean?" Zhuo Yichen frowned. He obviously grasped the wrong point, or maybe he grasped the right point?

"Hey hey hey! They are not husband and wife, not husband and wife!" Ying Lei hurriedly explained, his hands almost leaving afterimages.

"Aren't they a couple?" The madam looked at Ying Lei with a puzzled look. When she saw the handsome face of the young man in front of her, she immediately became interested.

The madam winked at him and said, "Young man, is there a girl you like?"

Ying Lei blinked, then covered his chest with his hands, and stammered in panic: "I, I, I, I have someone I love, I will keep my virginity pure, don't think of harming me!"

As he said this, he hid behind Nanzhi in fear.

The madam looked at Nanzhi with an even stranger look.

She had previously told her that men shouldn't be too strict with her, that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers, but she would be the only domestic flower. Now it seems that such words should be said to her handsome husband.

After all, the lady in front of her not only has a handsome husband, but also a handsome and youthful young man who has fallen at her feet. She has even won over the handsome Master Xiao Zhuo?!

The madam's eyes fell on Bai Jiu.

Bai Jiu was not afraid at all and held up a finger: "I can't, I'm not an adult yet."

"Of course I know," the madam said, withdrawing her gaze from Bai Jiu and waving her fan arrogantly. "I didn't think of asking a little brat like you."

"Hey you...I..."

Angry and unable to refute, Bai Jiu suddenly saw Ao Yin, who had transformed into his appearance, standing a few meters away. He immediately chased after Ao Yin and screamed, "Little Zhuo! It's Ao Yin!!!"

Unaffected by Bai Jiu's sharp voice, Zhuo Yichen immediately looked in the direction of his finger and chased after Ao Yin.

Yinglei is catching up!

Nanzhi saw the three people chasing Ao Yin behind a huge shadow puppet screen. Ao Yin first transformed into Pei Sijing, then Zhu Yan, and finally turned into Wen Xiao and appeared in front of everyone.

During this time, a locust leaf fell on Bai Jiu, and no one noticed that the leaf touched his body.

Li Lun, who was watching all this on the second floor, lowered his eyes and looked coldly at Ao Yin who ran out and transformed into Wen Xiao, and Zhuo Yi Chen, Bai Jiu and Ying Lei who were chasing after him.

He picked up a locust leaf and turned to leave.

Nanzhi also followed in the footsteps of Zhuo Yichen and the others.

After chasing him to a street far outside Tianxiang Pavilion, Bai Jiu and Ying Lei stopped panting and asked Zhuo Yichen, who they had caught up with, "Have we gone far enough? We must have seen a lot of people. Can we clear the Goddess of suspicion?"

"Yeah." Zhuo Yichen nodded, but what he was thinking about was what Ao Yin said to him.

Ao Yin said that he was no different from her.

She's saying... he's a demon?

"Xiao Zhuo!" Nanzhi also caught up.

Yinglei supported Nanzhi, and seeing that she was out of breath from running, he hurriedly stroked her back.

After catching his breath, Nanzhi asked Zhuo Yichen, "How is it?"

Zhuo Yichen said, "Many people have seen Ao Yin transform into Wen Xiao. I will go to Chongwu Camp right away and ask them to release him."

Zhuo Yichen went to Chongwu Camp, while Bai Jiu and Ying Lei returned to the Demon Hunting Division.

Seeing that Nanzhi had no intention of returning, Zhuo Yichen asked her, "Aren't you going back to the Demon Hunting Division?"

Nanzhi said, "I'm going to find Zhao Yuanzhou."

"He's still conscious now. I'll be his last resort in case he loses consciousness and is controlled by his evil spirit. As for repairing Bai Zeling, I can't help, so I'll have to ask you and Sister Wen Xiao for help."

Seeing that Zhuo Yichen disagreed, Nanzhi insisted: "I'll wait for you."
