m her brow and injected it into the formation. After the formation was activated, she pressed it onto the ground where the three people were standing.The formation shifted, growing larger until it enc...Ripple looked at the somewhat disheveled master and apprentice before her, her lips twitched, and she said with some helplessness:

"Two of you, what brings you here to see me"

"Lu Yao Fairy, we have encountered a demon."

Feng Yu immediately said.

The master was attacked by a white python, injuring his lungs and internal organs. Currently, he has some difficulty speaking.

Liàn Yī wātchíng yǐjī wú lì shuō huà de Wú Yōu, zhǐ néng bǎi shǒu dào:

Let me know if you need anything else translated!

"I see your master seems to be injured, why don't you take him to heal first! There's no rush for this matter."

But

Feng Yu was anxious, and still wanted to say something. He felt his master tighten his grip on his wrist, causing him to swallow the rest of his words. Then, under Luo Huai's lead, he went to a spare room to rest.

The clever Liang Chen has returned after gathering intel, coming directly to see his own young mistress.

“Miss, I inquired with a familiar clerk. They said when they arrived, they saw three living people, presumably the鏢師 who escaped from the鏢局. But before they could ask anything, a white python nearly 100 meters long rushed out from the waterfall and swallowed the leader of the group.”

Then the two master and apprentice arrived just in time, engaging the white python. Although they were no match for it, they still bought the constables some time to escape. They had never seen such a huge white python before and were only concerned with fleeing for their lives; they didn't even have time to think about anything else. Even now, they are still shaken to their core!

"No wonder there were no living creatures in that bamboo grove. I originally thought it was because of the white snake in the waterfall pool, but I didn't expect the real culprit to be the large white python. Fortunately, we were lucky and didn't encounter the white python surfacing."

Luo Ying patted her chest with lingering fear.

"I agree with Sakura-nee. It's not just luck, it's because we have the young lady."

Liang Chen said from the interface.

Lianyi didn't deny it, she was now a Qi Condensation cultivator. For such beasts just starting to awaken their spiritual intelligence, she was a huge threat. So even though she didn't make a move that night, the white python wouldn't have shown itself either.

But he held back until the second day before making a move. It was only because, after she left, her scent had dissipated and the threat was gone, and with those鏢師 returning, Bai Mang could no longer hold himself back and rushed out.

What did the government office say

"I'm not sure, Miss. Should we intervene"

Liang Chen asked in a low voice.

"Oh! I always feel that something bad happens when I encounter these two master and apprentice. You continue to pay attention to the government's situation and see what specific actions they take. When that Master Wuyu recovers from his injuries, I'll ask him about the specifics."

Yes, Miss!

Liang Chen received the mission and, accompanied by Xiaohui, left the inn.

"Since it seems my plans have changed and I'm not leaving today, there's no need for you to wait here. Go out and about, buy yourselves something you like. Autumn is almost here, so pick up some clothes or fabric to get everyone ready for fall and winter."

Liàn yī gave Wénlù a silver note worth five hundred taels, allowing them to relax and go shopping.

"Yes, Miss."

Wenlu knew they would continue westward, so she really had to prepare. She took the silver bills and, with Luoying, Luo huai, Minmin, and two guards from the Wu family, went to Huafeng City's most bustling street. The shops there were the most comprehensive, offering everything from high-end to low-end goods.

Here, at the Huafeng City magistrate's office, several officers who had been to the crime scene were now pale-faced and recounting what happened. Magistrate Ma listened intently to their accounts, stroking his two bushy sideburns beneath his nose thoughtfully.

After the clerks left, he went to look for his master and said with a delighted expression:

"Master, perhaps this time I might have my chance to shine."

"Where did the master start this conversation from"

The magistrate recounted the appearance of the white python in detail, and then said mysteriously:

"Could this be considered a good omen! After all, a white python that has cultivated to immortality becomes a dragon. Calling it a white dragon wouldn't be an exaggeration. If we report this matter to the capital and have someone send this white dragon there, you think my chances of promotion wouldn't increase"

“The county magistrate should think carefully. Even if the white python is truly a good omen as you say, we must verify it before reporting it. Otherwise, if we report the discovery of an omen and then the white python disappears, wouldn't that be treason”

The master was even more cautious.

"The Master's words are reasonable. I shall arrange for people to bring back the white python, preferably with the official dispatch, and send it to the capital. If we travel day and night, perhaps we can make it in time for the Emperor's birthday."

The county magistrate smiled and immediately summoned his subordinates, beginning to plan the capture of the auspicious white python.

On the other side, Wen Lu, who went out shopping, also encountered a little trouble.

The head of the Changwei Escort Agency and his son saw the Wen family mother and daughter while having dinner on the second floor of a restaurant.

"Father, is that person Minmin"

This wastrel had been brooding ever since he failed to win over Minmin, so he immediately recognized Zhou Minmin in the crowd.

Chang Wei, following his son Chang Shunyuan's guidance, also saw Wenlu. His hawk-like eyes narrowed slightly as he nodded.

"Indeed, it's them, mother and daughter. Didn't expect to run into them here today after all those years of estrangement."

"Father, I'm going to see them!"

Chang Shun Yuan finished speaking and, without waiting, took the lead in leaving the restaurant and walked toward the clothing store across the street.

Here, Wen Lu's mother and daughter are still unaware that they have been recognized. At this time, they are discussing whether to buy ready-made clothes or fabric for their young mistress.

The proprietress of the clothing store was a middle-aged woman with lingering grace. Seeing Wen hesitate, she proposed:

"Madam, if you like the style of our ready-made garments and prefer a different fabric, we can come to your home to measure your daughter for a custom-made piece using the fabric of your choice. What do you think"

"Well, that's possible, but we won't be staying in Huafeng City for too long."

"That's easy, just add some money and we can prioritize making your young mistress's dress."

The proprietress was very business-minded and immediately came up with a solution.

"That's perfect!"

Lo Ying also thought this suggestion was good. Before coming to this clothing store, they had inquired about it and learned that the shop had been open for decades and always dealt fairly with customers. So, she nodded in agreement to Auntie Wen's proposal.

Wen Lu excitedly paid the deposit and set an appointment for the tailor to measure her at home. As she turned to leave the clothing store, Chang Shun blocked her way.

"Aunt Wen, where have you been all these years You made it hard for me and Father to find you!"

As they spoke, those beady eyes darted over Minmin and kept scanning the faces and chests of Luo Ying and Luo Huai. The two guards standing nearby looked increasingly uncomfortable.

Wenlu left with her daughter, knowing that she would one day encounter the Changwei鏢局, especially after seeing the One-Eyed Man. She had been prepared for this moment and was not afraid of Chang Shunyuan at all.

“What do you want from me Do you want me to be your stepmother I'm ashamed of your father. Your own brother died less than a year ago while escorting goods, and you already have eyes for the wife of your own brother! Should I just stand by and let people from the escort guild laugh at us Are you trying to frame my daughter and me”hters, perhaps there would have been a different outcome."Father, this isn't your fault. It's Zhenzhen's own choice. Besides, these past years, I've lived freely abroad and even found my niece's daugh...
