Chapter 127: The Trafficker

Lu Yalan’s attire matched her social standing, and she was accompanied by only one maidservant. The onlookers believed the servant’s words to be true, never expecting to witness such a dramatic spectacle from a wealthy family. Satisfied, they began to voice their condemnation.

“That young lady actually eloped with a man—how shameless!”

“Indeed! If I had such a disgraceful daughter, I might as well drown her!”

“Heh, I wonder if that actor is more attractive than me. If I went over and flirted with her, do you think she’d run away with me instead?”

“Maybe! Women like her are the easiest to seduce. Why don’t you give it a try? And if it works out, don’t forget your old pal here!”

Their lecherous gazes and repulsive words filled the air.

Not far away, three figures approached. Leading the way was an elderly man clad in a black Tang suit, his hair tinged with gray. His solemn expression and deep gaze exuded a powerful presence with every steady step he took.

“What… what do you want to do?” Lin Yurou grew even more frightened. Her slender frame trembled as she tried desperately to retreat, but behind her was a cold wall—there was nowhere else to go.

Lu Shaoxi understood immediately. “Seen it,” meaning he had only observed from a distance using his spiritual perception, never having met in person.

“Mengyao, tell us what you think,” Lu Shaoxi said, aware that this girl was as clever as Qin Ruxuan. He had deliberately involved her in the discussion, hoping to draw on her wisdom. Hearing her seem to have an idea, he felt a surge of joy.

“What about the others?” Mu Tian asked in surprise. This place seemed isolated, with no houses or dwellings nearby. It reminded him of those who had left earlier.

Ever since Tiamat completed the contract with Asmodiel and Zarel took office, she had been causing trouble for Tiamat, and this was the reason why.

Hanziye walked forward, holding a tablet and following the map’s guidance, whispering softly with Su Mo Lun.

“Boss, she’s too agitated and has been overexerted for a long time. She probably needs a good rest,” Hislian said after examining her for a while, then stood up.

Besides the remarkable sales achievements abroad, another piece of technical analysis news quickly became a hot topic.

A rosy flush spread over her porcelain skin. Even through the distant coffin, Mu Tian could feel the fierce energy radiating from her. Naturally, her entire body was drenched, her perfect, delicate curves fully exposed before him.

He thought of his family, of his past, of everything—suddenly, his heart felt much lighter, at least better than it had before.

After a moment of silence, some chose to leave, but most stayed. Though it was humiliating, it was still better than leaving, wasn’t it?

At that moment, the white-haired man shifted slightly and looked back at a middle-aged man with long hair behind him.

“How infuriating! If only these balloons would settle down!” Huilian said angrily.

Meanwhile, the government officials observing the swordsman nodded again, seemingly understanding that he was unfamiliar with Chang’an’s rules. Sensing an opportunity, they quickly voiced all the thoughts they had been suppressing.

After leaving the Duke of Wei’s mansion, Qi Tianshou visited several places. Eventually, he hesitated as he glanced at the Sui Palace, where Yang Nuo resided. He was grateful to her, but meeting now felt awkward.

Another guard, upon hearing the swordsman’s words, first felt honored, then honestly shared his own situation with him.

In that instant, all fates and tragedies overwhelmed his mind, the accumulation of pain igniting in her an unprecedented sorrowful outburst.

“Friends, don’t be alarmed. It’s just that my foot is uncomfortable; I’m stretching a bit. May I ask, what brings you here at this late hour?” Lianyun City greeted them with a smile.

Regarding the defeat of the Dream Spirit on the second floor of the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, the Blood Spirit on the fourth floor, and the Forest Spirit on the fifth, the swordsman and his group had indeed confronted them before. However, their levels were too low at the time. Had it not been for a fortunate chance, the swordsman might not have been able to overcome them.
