Lou Yao looked at Xie Fu's face and felt a little strange. "Why did she run out?"

"City Lord, do you want to arrest her again?"

"No, take her to her room and find a royal doctor to treat her injuries."

"But this girl is very dangerous. I'm afraid she might hurt the city lord."

Lou Yao frowned, "Why, do you think this city lord would be afraid of a little girl?"

"I have no such intention, but City Lord, this is not an ordinary girl. This is a girl who can strike out pink thunder."

"Nothing, just take him inside first."

"Yes."

After Xie Fu was carried in.

Lou Yao found someone to treat him again.

But the conclusion given by the imperial physician is.

Fell asleep.

........

When Xie Fu woke up, she saw Lou Yao beside her.

His eyes were gloomy.

"you're awake?"

After seeing Lou Yao, Xie Fu secretly thought that something was wrong.

If she knew that she had escaped from prison, she would definitely be arrested again.

Xie Fu suddenly pretended to be bewildered and asked, "Who are you? Why am I here? Who am I?"

Lou Yao:?

"Have you lost your memory?"

"Amnesia?" Xie Fu's eyes became even more confused.

"My head hurts and I can't remember anything."

"But the imperial physician said you were just sleeping. Did you sleep too long and damage your brain?"

Xie Fu smiled awkwardly and said, "Maybe..."

"You really can't remember anything?"

Xie Fu nodded and said stubbornly, "I really don't remember anything."

Lou Yao lowered his eyes and said lightly: "It's okay if you don't remember, but I checked your identity."

"Your name is Xie Fu, a disciple of the Shenle Sect. You're known as the Evil Rich Flower. You rely on your family's influence to bully independent cultivators. You often cheat and swindle, and you often peek at male disciples bathing."

"What?! Who said that?! This is simply alarmist!"

A smile appeared on Lou Yao's lips, "Why, isn't it?"

"Of course not! It's true that I, Xie Fu, am a disciple of the Shenle Sect, but I am an upright, honest, and kind girl! I may be a bit of a swindler, but when have I ever done something as disgusting as peeping at a man taking a bath? Where did you check this? It's not accurate at all."

"So you remembered it again?"

Xie Fu was stunned for a moment.

Only then did she realize that the other party was cheating her.

Lou Yao slowly moved closer to her and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions."

"In fact, I already knew that you were not a demon, but a cultivator from Baji Academy."

"Then why did you arrest me?"

"I had to give the people an explanation at that time, otherwise the city would be in a panic because of the monsters appearing."

Xie Fu understood at this time.

It turned out that she had become a scapegoat.

"Have you found the real monster?"

Lou Yao shook his head, "No clue."

"You're only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. If another victim appears in the city, won't everyone know you've arrested the wrong person?"

"That's true, but I had no choice at the time."

Xie Fu sighed.

It must be really not easy for Lou Yao to become the city lord at such a young age.

"Well, I won't argue with you. I'll just treat it as a day trip to the cell."

Xie Fu stood up to leave.

Lou Yao continued to ask: "To be honest, young lady, I have captured you to ask for a favor."

"A powerful demon has appeared in the city and injured two important officials. So I hope you can help us catch the demon."

Catch monsters?

That must be very tiring, right?

Xie Fu waved his hands repeatedly and said righteously, "Lord City Lord, it's not that I don't want to help, but my uncles and I have to hurry on our way and can't waste any time."

But the next moment Lou Yao brought a plate of gold.

It made Xie Fu's face glow with gold.

Xie Fu suddenly changed the subject.

"But then again, we cultivators are supposed to take it upon ourselves to slay demons and monsters! Leave this matter to me!"

"Thank you, Miss Xie. This is a small gift from me. Please accept it, Miss Xie."

Xie Fu pretended to be serious and said, "Hey! These are just some external things."

System: [Then why do you make your pockets so big? ]

What sharp words.

Xie Fu pretended to be dead.

Just pretend you didn't hear it.

In prison.

Shen Mingjie looked at Zhou Shaoan with a pair of gloomy and fierce eyes.

His eyes were filled with the triumph of a winner.

"Teacher, I didn't expect you would have this day."

Zhou Shaoan turned his head to the other side.

Ignore Shen Mingjie's words.

"You still have that bad temper. You said you could have a good life ahead of you, but you insisted on being so stubborn and unyielding, causing your whole family to suffer with you."

Zhou Shaoan remained silent and snorted coldly, "Good days? The good days you're talking about are the days of eating the flesh and drinking the blood of the people?"

"I am an official, and they are the people. Even if I drink their blood and eat their flesh, it is a gift to these untouchables!"

Zhou Shaoan looked at Shen Mingjie in disbelief, "How could I have raised such a beast like you?"

"It's a pity that the beast you mentioned has become the first-rank minister. My family and even my nine clans are living a good life with me, but your nine clans."

"I heard that Yecheng fell, and your people were ambushed on their way to help. They all died on the cliffs of rebirth, without even a complete body. Tsk tsk, how pitiful."

"You always taught us to govern with virtue, like the North Star, which stays in its place while all the other stars orbit it. But what has become of you? In all your years as an official, have you ever worn fine clothes? Have you ever tasted the delicacies of nature? And these are my daily routines. I'm afraid this purple jade belt I wear is worth your entire fortune!"

Shen Mingjie's eyes were full of pride.

He stared at Zhou Shaoan.

Trying to see a hint of regret in his eyes.

but.

Nothing at all.

Zhou Shaoan's eyes were calm.

There is no jealousy or desire.

The smile on Shen Mingjie's lips slowly disappeared.

After so many years, he still doesn't care about these material things.

As expected, he calmly said, "Money is nothing but external possessions."

However, it was this sentence that suddenly touched Shen Mingjie's heart.

He roared like a sudden illness, "If you don't care, then you drag everyone else along with you! You're great! You're clear-headed! But what about us? We studied so hard, so should we suffer like you? Zhou Shaoan! I must let you know that you're wrong! And you're so wrong! Do you think everything you're doing is great? Do you think the people you treat well will treat you well?"

"Think about it, after you were imprisoned, wasn't the first thing everyone did to disassociate themselves from you? It's human nature to seek profit and avoid harm! It's also human nature to flatter the powerful and trample on the weak! You'll definitely pay the price for going against nature!"

Zhou Shaoan said nothing.

Instead, he took out the half bag of gummy bears that he was reluctant to finish.

Shen Mingjie was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

"You must have had a hard time these past few years. Eat some candy, it's sweet."

"Crazy." Shen Mingjie commented.

Zhou Shaoan said, "This was given to me by a girl. People in this world are different. Some people have suffered so much that they want to drag everyone else through their suffering, while others just want to eat a piece of candy."

Obviously, Zhou Shaoan and the girl he was talking about were both the latter.
