Acai's Sky

Chapter 621 Midu Immortal Realm 74

The next day,

No matter how Rong Mama called, Ah Cai refused to get up.

Just lie in bed and pretend to be asleep.

Senior Sister Feng walked into the outer room of Acai's bedroom and was still stunned when she saw Rong Mama and the others.

It soon became clear that these two maids were not ordinary people, but puppets that were not controlled by anyone.

Judging from his behavior and various signs, he must have been summoned by the mysterious employer specifically to take care of the lovely little girl last night.

Rong Mama spread her hands, a helpless look on her face, and muttered, "I'm sorry, but I can't get our young lady to do anything. She's clearly starting to act like a spoiled brat. There's nothing I can do."

Obviously, Rong Mama had no way to deal with this willful young lady.

At this time, Senior Sister Feng, who was standing by, heard Nanny Gu mention that the remnant soul of the extraterritorial demon was captured last night. She trembled all over and felt a chill in her heart.

She did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly flew above the clouds to look for the chef, Feng Jinghong, who was leisurely drinking wine and enjoying delicious barbecue there.

Soon, Senior Sister Feng arrived before the Master, stepped forward respectfully, and said, "Greetings, Master!"

Feng Jinghong saw this and slowly put down the wine gourd in his hand. He reached out and gently wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth. Then he turned his gaze to his eldest disciple and asked, "Oh? What's the rush? Do you need me to personally handle this?"

Senior Sister Feng calmed herself down and quickly told her master exactly what had happened last night.

Including how they went through untold hardships to save the poor little girl, and how the mysterious employer accidentally encountered the remnant soul of the extraterritorial demon, etc.

Finally, Senior Sister Feng said with a firm tone, "Master, I think this matter is quite strange. We must have been plotted against."

After listening to Senior Sister Feng’s narration, the scenery suddenly jumped up from the clouds.

His sharp eyes quickly glanced at the little girl who was sleeping soundly in the inn below, and then looked at his employer who was still rolling around in bed.

Then he said in a deep voice, "Humph! In that case, I will go find that City Lord Xiaoyi and ask him for clarification!"

After saying that, his figure flashed and instantly turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

...

Wanhua City Lord's Mansion

In the study

Crazy Sword sat leisurely in his seat, with his legs crossed, swinging like a swing.

I saw him narrowing his eyes slightly and staring at the front with a smile on his face.

City Lord Zhong Qingfeng stood aside, a helpless smile on his face, and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency, I wonder what is the important matter that has brought you here?"

After saying this, he waved his hand lightly, signaling the servants to come forward and serve.

The servant who received the order immediately came over in small steps, respectfully served the fragrant tea, and quickly filled a cup of hot tea for the sword madman.

After completing their mission, they scurried back like frightened rabbits.

Crazy Sword picked up the teacup, took a sip, then turned his gaze to Zhong Qingfeng with a hint of teasing and scrutiny in his eyes.

However, he did not respond to Zhong Qingfeng's question, but continued to drink tea slowly.

Just then, a cough was heard from outside the door.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man with white hair and an immortal look slowly walking in.

This old man was none other than the second elder of Tianji Pavilion—Zhang Danleng.

It is said that his Taoism is profound and awe-inspiring.

Zhang Danleng walked into the room, went straight to a chair and sat down, smoothing his long white beard, and said with a smile:

"I, an old man, heard that this place is bustling with activity, so I came here to join in the fun. Furthermore, I also want to repay a favor and seek out some opportunities..."

Before Zhang Danleng could finish, Crazy Sword interrupted impatiently:

"Come on! You're an old Taoist priest on your deathbed. Why don't you just stay in the Tianji Pavilion and enjoy your remaining years? Why do you have to come out and meddle in these things?"

As he spoke, he curled his lips and looked disdainful.

"Oh, Crazy Sword, you can't say that. Everything in the world is predestined. I came here for a reason." Zhang Danleng retorted slowly.

The sword madman raised the corner of his mouth slightly and let out a contemptuous "tsk" from his nose!

He held his head high, his eyes squinting at an angle of about fourteen or fifteen degrees, as if he was full of disdain and contempt for the person in front of him.

Zhang Danleng, who was sitting next to them, couldn't help but find it a little funny when he saw this.

He looked at Crazy Sword with a smile on his face and said slowly, "I wonder what's bothering you about what we're planning?"

The irony in this statement is self-evident. The implication is that this sword madman is being accused of being meddling in other people's business.

How could he be involved in something that I and others had carefully planned, yet he insisted on coming in to interfere and disrupt the situation?

However, Feng Jinghong was not a stupid person, and he naturally understood what he said clearly.

He gently put down the teacup in his hand, making a crisp sound, and then said slowly:

"Everyone, the remnant soul of the extraterritorial demon you planned to capture has successfully escaped from the little girl's body completely, without leaving even the slightest trace."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, glanced at everyone, and then continued:

“It’s just…

My employer is now very happy and has no intention of returning the little girl to her parents.

So, everyone, please tell me how we should handle this matter."

After City Lord Zhong and Master Zhang looked at each other, they understood each other - they actually happened to meet the employer served by the sword madman and his apprentices!

City Lord Zhong said with a look of shame on his face, "This time, I will make a special trip to her house to apologize.

Ultimately, this incident was caused by my negligence, which allowed the remnant spirit to take advantage of the opportunity and possess my little daughter."

After he finished speaking, he sighed deeply and continued, "After the incident, I racked my brains but still couldn't come up with a solution. In desperation, I had to turn to Master Zhang for help and ask for his help and advice."

At this time, Zhang Danleng on the side coughed lightly a few times, and after catching his breath, he slowly spoke:

"This old Taoist priest has spent a full five hundred years of his life just to figure this out!

This clearly shows that your employer is no ordinary person and is very difficult to manipulate."

Hearing this, City Lord Zhong felt even more helpless.

You know, his daughter was just a newborn baby with no defense.

Now he has suffered this disaster, all because of his own fault. How can he not be anxious?

Mad Sword shook his head slowly, looking at the other person with a questioning look, and said:

"Humph!

Stop fooling me here and don't talk to me about this nonsense.

Who would be willing to do such a thing, wasting five hundred years of life?

Come on, you must have found a way to offset this huge loss a long time ago, right?"

His eyes were as sharp as torches, staring intently at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

The person being questioned, City Lord Zhong, nodded hesitantly and replied softly:

"Indeed, we won the bid for that rare treasure - 'Water of Life' at the Treasure Pavilion auction on Xianling Island.

It is precisely because of this guarantee that we have the courage to plan all this.”

Having said this, City Lord Zhong couldn't help but sigh and continued to explain, "I just didn't expect that the implementation of this plan would come at such a tragic price. Even Venerable Zhang, who always planned everything, couldn't foresee this happening..."

Mad Sword bared his teeth, a flicker of disdain flashing in his eyes: "Serves you right!"

"Divination has five disadvantages and three shortcomings. Master Zhang, how much backlash have you suffered this time?" He curled his lips, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Let's talk about the city lord's apology this time. The gift is too small, and I am not happy!" He glanced sideways at City Lord Zhong, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

Zhong Qingfeng nodded in response: "My little daughter was sent away, how could I let her go? I was keeping an eye on her the whole time." There was a hint of helplessness and worry in his tone.

Zhang Danleng stroked his beard and explained awkwardly, "We really didn't mean to do this. We simply calculated that the song and dance party could attract the Golden Phoenix, which would definitely lure out the remaining demons, and wouldn't harm City Lord Zhong's daughter or the Golden Phoenix. That's why we acted that way."

Feng Jinghong glared at Zhang Danleng and said coldly, "You're such a wicked old man! You're in trouble for your divination. City Lord Zhong compensated you with the 'Water of Life', and you made a fortune."

"Then what about my employer? How can I get compensation for a girl who was tricked by you?" Crazy Sword could tell at a glance that the compensation offered by these two people was not sincere enough.

"Clap clap clap..."

He slammed the table hard, shaking the entire table carved from spiritual wood. Fortunately, he controlled the force and did not break it.

He frowned and turned to ask City Lord Zhong, "Who gave you the tip to organize the first song and dance party in the world of immortal cultivation to lure my employer here?"

He tugged at his beard and said, "Also, where did this extraterritorial demon come from?

Speak human language! "

City Lord Zhong was stunned for a moment, pacing in the study, rubbing his hands and walking back and forth.

Zhang Danleng didn't expect that the usually careless Sword Crazy had such a meticulous side.

City Lord Zhong sighed, "I went to Foguang Temple to seek advice from several of the great elders there, and I got some advice from Master Xiuyuan..."

"Hey, this old bald donkey, people sent his soul back, and he just wanted to have some fun for a while, but he's still being remembered."

Feng Jinghong directly took out the communication mirror, input a trace of spiritual energy, and found Xiuyuan directly.

"Old monk, can you handle human affairs?"

"Is this how you treat your benefactor?"

Xiu Yuan on the other side said helplessly, "We can deal with that remnant soul, but we just can't safely lead it out of the body of City Lord Zhong's newly born daughter..."

"I know your employer's abilities better than you do. She doesn't practice the same system as us, and she can easily dissolve the remnant soul of that extraterritorial demon..."
