Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

Chapter 320 The Aloof Senior Brother is Easily Flirted With (49)

"So you started targeting other innocent people?" Xie Qingyu asked.

The demon looked at her and laughed, "Innocent? Who is innocent? There are no innocent people. They are all murderers."

Whether it was Qi Lin who changed his mind, the woman who did it, or Dao Niang's family, friends, brothers, or sisters, none of them were innocent. Even those who were gossiping in the village were all murderers of Dao Niang.

His first target was Qi Lin.

At that time, he thought that someone like Qi Lin was bad to everyone.

But no, after learning that the woman had been insulted, the news didn't spread like it did with Dao Niang. He even saw Qi Lin comforting the woman and telling her not to worry. He definitely wouldn't mind; he would only feel sorry for her.

The demons couldn't understand why Qi Lin treated different people differently.

So he started trying.

Try to create the illusion that the bride is being insulted for all newlyweds.

And what will their reaction be after they wake up?

At the beginning, his demonic power was not obvious, and he couldn't create that kind of atmosphere.

Later, as his demonic power increased and he became more and more ruthless, those people finally realized that it was the same person causing all the trouble.

So they started trying to catch him.

But it was no use. Even if he couldn't leave, he could revert to his original form and swagger away from the scene of the crime without anyone suspecting him.

He started by targeting people he knew from Dao Niang, and later targeted everyone in the city.

He observed the reactions of all sorts of people: the dead, the living, those who were outwardly friendly but inwardly estranged, and those who had been driven from their homes.

Occasionally, a few people do well.

At times like this, the demon always wonders why it can't be the sword maiden who's doing well.

Only now did the city lord's wife understand that the evil spirit had not insulted the newlyweds; it had merely created an illusion.

Or perhaps the groom did it himself, but the person involved doesn't remember it.

This is a good thing; if the truth is revealed, there will probably be less estrangement.

"You shouldn't have hurt those innocent women. Do you know how many people have died because of the illusion you created?" the city lord couldn't help but question.

Under his administration, such an incident occurred in the city, which not only had a negative impact but also resulted in the loss of many women, amounting to dozens of lives.

The evil spirits didn't care about that. "No one is innocent. When they talk about others, they should also think about how they themselves are talked about."

"Why only choose the bride?" Xie Qingyu asked.

"Because Dao Niang could have been a bride right away," the demon replied.

He probably knew he couldn't escape, so he answered every question.

"Can you tell if it's a fake marriage?" The city lord's wife still remembered this. They had also sought out a master back then, but unfortunately, he never showed up.

"I've seen what people who are about to get married should be like. They'll be nervous and expectant..." The demon didn't continue, but his meaning was clear. Obviously, those people were putting on an act without any emotion, and were even a little nervous, which is why he noticed.

"Could Qi Lin be the one who passed the imperial examination a couple of years ago...?" The city lord suddenly remembered the name, saying it sounded somewhat familiar.

He was a remarkable man. Not long after passing the county-level imperial examination, he passed the provincial-level imperial examination. I heard that he was originally going to go to the capital with his family, but unfortunately, an accident happened on the way, and his whole family died.

Now I think about the cause of his death.

The city lord glanced at the demon, who neither admitted nor denied it.

"Damn it." Qi Lin was probably the person the demon hated the most, and his body even trembled a little when he said those two words.

.......................................

Once the truth came to light, the city lord immediately revealed the whole story to the public.

Of course, it was only revealed that the brides of the past few years had not been insulted, that the evil spirits had never laid a hand on them, and that the men who shared the room with them were all the grooms.

When this news was released, it seemed to have freed many women from their shackles, allowing them to straighten their backs after they survived that incident.

Some were overjoyed, while others remained unmoved.

The deed is done, and the truth may come out later without much effect.

Just like Dao Niang, even if she knew the truth, there was nothing she could do.

A woman whose reputation has been ruined can hardly move an inch.

With this matter concluded, since the Demon City Lord's Mansion was unable to handle it, it was naturally left to Qing Shen to deal with.

Such evil spirits, having taken lives on their hands, will ultimately meet their demise.

Even after learning of this story, Qing Shen's men showed no mercy.

Most importantly, the demon had no will to live, as if he had already died, dying in that cold river with the sword maiden, and all that followed was just an act of venting his anger at the injustice.

After understanding what was happening here, I could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the city had improved a lot when I went out again.

The city lord's wife's two daughters are getting married soon.

To show that the matter has been completely resolved, they also want to take the lead.

Meanwhile, other families in the city were also getting restless.

Families that can refrain from marrying their daughters over the past few years are generally those who truly care about their daughters.

Preparations for the wedding have begun in earnest, with the city ablaze with decorations and festive cheer.

And this kind of atmosphere is the most suitable for people to stay here.

When Qing Shen and Xie Qingyu got married, most of the prominent people in the city came. When they walked down the street, some people even recognized them and came up to thank them.

Of course, they didn't know Qing Shen and Xie Qingyu's true identities; they were just grateful that the two of them got married and were able to capture this evil spirit.

Then congratulations to them on their marriage.

This was Xie Qingyu's first time experiencing such a novel scene, and clearly, so was Qing Shen's.

As soon as people started asking questions, others naturally came up to inquire, and when they learned the details, others followed suit and thanked them in a joking manner.

After these people left, Xie Qingyu found herself with some food inexplicably, which had been forced onto her by someone.

Such an experience was truly novel. Xie Qingyu looked at the food in her hand and the flower in Qing Shen's hand, and couldn't help but laugh. Then, imitating those people, she stuffed the food into Qing Shen's hand and took a flower from his hand. "Thank you, husband, for holding these things for me."

Xie Qingyu laughed first after she finished speaking.

Qing Shen looked into her shimmering eyes, where silent emotions resided.
