Chapter 88: Chapter 87: Habits are Truly Terrifying

In the end, Luo Wusheng didn’t confine the two unconscious troublemakers in the Eye Space for long.

It wasn’t because he was soft-hearted, but because the treasure in their eyes was truly unique. Once the light screen was generated, it seemed to no longer belong to that space. No matter what means were used, it couldn’t be touched, let alone carried away.

Luo Wusheng didn’t want to leave this thing here and come back to retrieve it after half a day.

Moreover, he had guests coming in the evening. How could he leave such a dangerous social life killing weapon here?

Miss Kirin was at the Nascent Soul stage, and if something she shouldn’t have said was read out loud and happened to be seen by him, who knows what the Golden-Ranked member of the Six Gate Bureau would do.

So, he showed mercy and released the two.

Before the two could say much, Luo Wusheng confirmed that nobody within his spiritual awareness range was paying attention. He then took out several pieces of jade and handed them to Gao Shi for appraisal.

After receiving the appraisal results, Luo Wusheng breathed a sigh of relief.

This fake Diviner from the Heavenly Divination Tower did have some skill, but not to the extent he had imagined.

For example, when appraising the quantity of jade in this world, he could only determine whether it was “a considerable amount” or “rare in this world.” He couldn’t provide an exact number.

Even if Luo Wusheng had brought a piece of the world’s only divine stone for appraisal, the Diviner still wouldn’t be able to give an accurate figure.

Lastly, after driving Long Dahai away, Luo Wusheng took out several more pieces of jade for appraisal, among which was a piece of Star-Moon Jade.

Upon receiving the information about the Star-Moon Jade, Luo Wusheng felt much more at ease.

However, he still kindly spoke a few words to the fake Diviner and offered shelter to this poor child who had no support in the Royal City, while observing the pale complexion of the Diviner.

As soon as the child stepped outside, Long Dahai, who was waiting outside, immediately approached and asked about the situation of this Heavenly Divination Tower disciple he had high hopes for.

“No… I can’t say… I’ll die…”

Looking at Gao Shi, whose legs were weak as he walked away, and then at the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint beckoning from inside, Long Dahai’s face turned pale.

That day, a young man named Long Dahai knew how dangerous the cultivation world was.

…

Finally, the opening ceremony of the Demon Artifact Pavilion came to a successful close.

With the passing of this day, cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage in the Royal City were almost all equipped with a flintlock pistol.

Although the number of people possessing ordinary bullets accounted for less than one-tenth of the total, they were all potential customers for the future. The future looked promising.

In the afternoon, to Luo Wusheng’s surprise, Yang Zhen, the Chief Artifact Refiner of the Taoist Artifact Pavilion, actually showed up.

First, he congratulated the rise of the Demon Artifact Pavilion and mentioned their pavilion tarnished reputation due to the misdeeds of their Pavilion Head, who was now fleeing out of fear of punishment. Yang Zhen was somewhat resentful and wished for improvements.

But soon, they got to the main topic and discussed Artifact Refining for the entire afternoon.

This discussion benefited both of them greatly.

Although Luo Wusheng lacked a solid foundation, he had unique insights and often came up with brilliant ideas that impressed Yang Zhen. On the other hand, Yang Zhen had a solid foundation and a deep understanding of basic knowledge in Artifact Refining. Even though they used different Artifact Refining techniques, Luo Wusheng could still draw connections and gain many insights.

Nightfall arrived quickly.

After dealing with everything, Luo Wusheng returned to the hall where blood had flowed earlier in the morning.

At this moment, Lu Yuliu was sitting uncomfortably by his side.

The young girl didn’t understand why Luo Wusheng insisted on pulling her along and even used the beginning of an interesting story to entice her.

Hmph— If it wasn’t for actually caring about that gourd-like Golden Guardian, who became a divine beast electric rat and how to defeat the mastermind Pangolin, she wouldn’t have agreed to this guy! (Tn: Pokemon rip-off story)

’Speaking of which, what kind of monster is the gourd-like Golden Guardian? A gourd monster? It feels like this guy always says strange things…’ (Tn: Gourd monster = Pokemon)

And she didn’t know why she was called here tonight, with Luo Wusheng saying she only needed to smile and nod.

Little Yuli had a bad premonition.

She looked around and noticed another girl who had been brought here by Luo Wusheng but whom Lu Yuliu didn’t recognize.

At this moment, Luo Wusheng, sitting in the main seat, expanded his spiritual awareness.

When he sensed that his Junior Sister had quietly changed to a position closer to the hall and was using her spiritual awareness to listen to the situation on his side, he pondered.

Indeed, the harm caused to his Junior Sister this morning was a bit too much.

Moreover, Bai Xiaoyao encountered such a situation for the first time, unlike Lu Yuliu, who had already cultivated a more resilient state of mind compared to before.

Even if Luo Wusheng mentioned the incident on the Sea-Crossing Boat to the Little Yuli now, her reaction wouldn’t be as intense as before. Especially when he called her “Little Yuli,” there was hardly a ripple in her heart, showing a sense of resignation instead of anger.

Habits truly are a terrifying thing.

Thinking about the purpose of tonight, Luo Wusheng shifted his gaze away from the true protagonist, who only needed to be calm and elegant, and looked at another person.

Miss Su Susu, from the Su family.

This Miss Su was equally puzzled by being brought here.

Suddenly, her relaxed expression tightened, and her body involuntarily stood up from her seat.

Not for any other reason, but because a figure slowly appeared in the hall.

That figure wore a mask with a scale pattern, had a tall figure, and stepped into the hall with a graceful stride, sweeping her gaze over the people present.

“Su Susu paid her greeting to Miss Kirin!”

As a member of the Six Gate Bureau, Miss Su was the first to greet her superior.

Miss Kirin nodded slightly.

She had been paying attention to the affairs of the Demon Artifact Pavilion these days and had learned about this “undercover agent” of the Six Gate Bureau from Night Crow.

It seemed that this undercover agent was unlikely to return.

She didn’t know why this person was present either…

Collecting her thoughts, Miss Kirin looked towards Lu Yuliu, who was sitting beside Luo Wusheng.

“Who is this?”

She asked with her usual cold voice.

“I will explain to Miss Kirin later. Would you please take a seat for now?”

Luo Wusheng said with a smile.

The young girl by his side remembered the words of the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint and maintained an elegant smile while nodding, but she didn’t say a word.

Miss Kirin felt somewhat curious, but she didn’t inquire further. Instead, after taking her seat, she placed her palm on the table, creating a barrier that blocked intrusive investigations. When she sensed the neighboring Demon Sect’s Holy Maiden eavesdropping, she slightly expanded the range of the barrier.

Although she didn’t understand why the Demon Sect’s Holy Saint knew that her Junior Sister was eavesdropping but neither invited her in nor asked her to leave, seemingly allowing her to stay in the neighboring room by default, Miss Kirin didn’t concern herself with such minor issues.

She had seen the world, after all. Even if she subconsciously speculated on what might have happened between the two, she wouldn’t voice it out.

With everything set, Miss Kirin looked at Luo Wusheng, who was seated in the main position.

“Alright, Lord Luo, you can now explain in detail about the incident in the city that you mentioned yesterday.”
