Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Chapter 78: Pursuit in the South of the City

The helmsman took two quick sips of tea and put down the cup.

The two waited for the auction house to deliver the goods.

Lu Xun Huan asked, "You asked me to observe, what do you want to observe?"

The helmsman asked in return: "Didn't you gain anything today?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Of course there are gains. At least we know that everyone in Zhongzhou Prefecture is greedy. Otherwise, how could they come up with so much silver?"

The helmsman asked, "What else?"

Lu Xun Huan touched his chin and said, "Also, someone's fox tail has been exposed."

The helmsman did not reply.

The two waited for a while, and then there was a knock on the door of the box.

Lu Xunhuan went to open the door and saw the proprietress and the receptionist standing outside with smiles on their faces.

He gestured, "Come in."

The proprietress came in with the receptionist, closed the door, and then bowed: "I pay my respects to Captain Lu."

Lu Xun Huan said, "You're welcome, Madam Boss. I'm just here with my sister to see the fun and broaden my horizons."

The proprietress looked at the helmsman and said, "Excuse me..."

Lu Xun Huan said, "My sister doesn't usually like to show up in public. Madam, since the things are here, I'll sign for her. It's getting late, so we should leave."

The proprietress gestured to the receptionist: "Give the things to Captain Lu."

The receptionist placed the two boxes on the coffee table. She first picked up the small square box, opened it, and showed the white jade bracelet to Lu Xunhuan: "Master Lu, please confirm."

Lu Xun Huan took it out, looked at it, and put it back: "Okay, next one."

The receptionist handed the box to him and opened the box that looked somewhat decayed.

She said to Lu Xunhuan, "Master Lu, please look."

Lu Xunhuan took out the stick-like object and looked at it carefully.

It was heavy and cool to the touch, with an original golden base, but perhaps due to corrosion, the surface was covered with copper rust.

But even though it is covered with rust, the carvings on it are still clear.

Lu Xunhuan could see that there was a coiled dragon carved on it, and also a Tai Chi Bagua diagram.

He came from the world of his previous life, so naturally he recognized the Tai Chi Bagua diagram.

But does Tai Chi Bagua exist in this world?

He was thinking when he suddenly felt the heat from the stick transferred to his palm. When he touched it just now, it was cold, but now, he felt it was warm.

He quickly put the stick head back into the somewhat rotten wooden box and closed the lid.

"Madam, did you really buy this thing from a street stall?"

The proprietress still had that smile on her face. "We must be honest in doing business and never lie. I did buy it from a street stall. Sir Lu, you can't go back on your word."

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "How could I, Lu, be such a scoundrel?"

He took out the banknotes from his pocket, counted a stack, and handed it to the boss lady: "Boss lady, please count it."

The proprietress took the banknote and said with a smile, "How can I not trust Captain Lu?"

Lu Xun Huan took out another five hundred taels of silver and handed it to the receptionist: "Thank you for your hard work."

The receptionist dared not accept it in front of the proprietress, and quickly said, "Master Lu, we don't accept tips here."

Lu Xun Huan took her hand and pressed the banknote into her hand: "If you don't accept what I gave you, you are being disrespectful."

The proprietress took over and said, "This is a reward from Captain Lu. Please accept it and thank Captain Lu quickly."

The receptionist took the banknote and bowed, "Thank you, Lord Lu."

Lu Xunhuan picked up the box and said, "Okay, we should go back."

He said to the helmsman, "Sister, let's go."

The receptionist hurried to open the door: "Master Lu, please come in."

The proprietress said to Lu Xunhuan, "Master Lu, the carriage is ready at the door. Just tell the coachman where you want to go."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Madam Boss."

After exiting the auction house, there was indeed a carriage waiting there.

The proprietress personally lifted the curtain and helped Lu Xunhuan and the captain into the car.

Lu Xun Huan bowed and said, "Boss, you are so polite. We are leaving now."

The proprietress still had a smiling face and said, "Welcome to visit us often."

The carriage started and rumbled forward along the cobblestone street.

The helmsman said, "The courtyard in the south of the city."

Lu Xunhuan didn't ask her any more questions. The carriage remained silent. The two of them listened to the steady sound of horse hooves, looked at the street scenes through the gaps in the curtains, and walked through the streets and alleys.

After a cup of tea, the carriage had entered the south of the city and was about a mile away from the courtyard.

Lu Xunhuan suddenly heard a scolding.

He hurriedly looked outside and saw two figures, one in front and one behind, flashing across the street and heading towards the South Gate. In the blink of an eye, they were gone far away.

Lu Xunhuan was so frightened that his hair almost stood up. Wasn’t the person running away in front Zhou Fenqing?

He hurriedly handed the things to the helmsman: "Help me take it back, I have something to do."

After he finished speaking, he jumped out of the carriage, flew out, and landed on the street.

He exerted all his strength and flew towards the south gate.

Moreover, he ran while shouting: "Lao He, Lao He..."

A moment later, Elder He caught up from behind and asked, "What's going on? Why are you hearing ghosts howling and wolves howling?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "Run faster and rescue them. They've already left the city."

Elder He said, "There are so many things to do..."

After he finished speaking, he exerted all his strength, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, just like riding on clouds.

Lu Xunhuan couldn't help but marvel at this. After exerting all his strength, he was already running fast enough, but compared to Elder He's speed, he was like an elementary school student running faster than Su Bingtian.

Outside the South City Gate, a masked man was chasing Zhou Fenqing.

It seemed that his strength was above Zhou Fenqing's, and the gap was gradually narrowing.

In front, Zhou Fenqing knew very well that he could not outrun the opponent, so he suddenly turned around, drew his magic sword, and launched several thunderous attacks at the opponent.

But the masked man behind him seemed to have anticipated his moves and dodged them all with a few quick moves.

Zhou Fenqing frowned and asked, "Who are you, and what is your grudge against me?"

The other party snorted coldly: "There is no grudge or hatred, I am ordered to kill you."

Zhou Fenqing asked sternly, "Whose orders are you following?"

The man said, "A dying man, is it any use asking so many questions? Watch this."

The man didn't even draw his sword. With his empty hands, he rushed towards Zhou Fenqing with a series of moves.

Zhou Fenqing originally thought that his strength was strong enough, but he didn't know that someone came today to kill him, and his strength was much higher than his.

He swung the magic sword with all his might, trying desperately to block the opponent's palms, and seemed to be struggling.

After ten moves, the masked man seized his weakness and slapped him in the abdomen, knocking him away.

After several feet, he fell to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.

The man was standing in front of him like a ghost.

"Do you want to live?"

Zhou Fenqing suppressed his inner turmoil and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Nonsense."

The masked man said: "If you want to live, tell me who your accomplice is."

Zhou Fenqing asked: "I am a loner, I go it alone, where can I find my companions?"

The masked man snorted again, "Wang Tingsi, tell me exactly how many members there are, and I'll let you go."

Zhou Fenqing smiled sadly: "Haha, so it's for this... Let me tell you, there are tens of thousands of members of the Wangting Division."

The masked man's gaze was like a sword: "You don't want to talk anymore?"

Zhou Fenqing said arrogantly: "Kill if you want to, stop talking nonsense."

The masked man stopped asking questions and slowly drew his sword.

At this moment, a powerful force suddenly attacked from behind the masked man.

The masked man was startled and quickly turned back.

A fairy sword shining with red light danced in the sky, like the Milky Way pouring down to the earth.

The masked man had to fly back to dodge, brandishing his sword at the same time: "Mr. He, how dare you meddle in other people's business?"

Elder He chuckled and said, "Your Excellency's strength is truly remarkable. Let me witness it today."

The two men fought and gradually moved away hundreds of feet.

Lu Xunhuan rushed over quickly and came to Zhou Fenqing. Seeing that he was seriously injured, he hurriedly hugged him and turned around and ran away.

After a cup of tea, he carried Zhou Fenqing back to the courtyard in the south of the city, hurried into his room, and put him on the bed.

"Master, I told you to leave, what are you doing?"

Zhou Fenqing grabbed his hand and said, "Nephew, I'm afraid I can't make it. Go tell my sister to stay away from her."

The door was pushed open, and Ye Feihong and Qingdai ran in and asked, "What's going on?"

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Master is seriously injured. Where can I find medicine that can quickly heal him?"

At the door, a dark shadow flashed and the helmsman appeared.

She walked in, went to the bedside, and felt Zhou Fenqing's pulse.

"I need two fifth-grade immortal pills. They can save his life and make him recover quickly."

Ye Feihong and Qingdai were both confused. This wasn't a sect, so where could they find a fifth-grade elixir?

Lu Xun Huan said, "Take good care of Master, I'll go find the elixir."

After he finished speaking, he quickly disappeared from the room.
