Chapter 288: Sneaking into the City Lord's Mansion
"Has the goddess of the old Li family really never come back?"
The tone of Lin Fuping's question sounded as if he was afraid that the goddess would come back to settle the score with him.
“No, since Arya became a celestial being, she has never come back.
But when she became a celestial being, the City Lord's Mansion gave Old Li's family a lot of gold, silver and jewelry.
They were also placed in the inner city.”
"Have all of the Tiannu's family been placed in the inner city?"
Lin Fuping suddenly asked
Wang Ergou was unable to react for a moment, and said automatically:
"Most of the families of the goddesses were settled in Chang'an, Xiwu, Yangpo, and Fengxiao Streets. But there are still some goddesses who have no parents and no family. They entered the city lord's mansion on their own."
"The city lord is such a good immortal master! Not only did he provide those women with food and shelter, he also made them celestial maidens, praying for the people and receiving great respect."
Wang Ergou couldn't help but sigh
She was even secretly annoyed that she couldn't have another daughter.
The three sons are very good. In the past, he was the envy of people in the surrounding villages.
But now, if he could have a daughter who became a celestial being, he could live in the inner city like Old Li, eat and drink the fine food, and maybe even marry a concubine.
I am much younger than Old Li.
Good Immortal Master! ?
Ah!
Lin Fuping sneered in her heart, her heart filled with sorrow, sorrow for this era and for these women.
Such a large number of young women entered the City Lord's Mansion and never came out again. She didn't believe that these people didn't have any doubts in their hearts.
The reason why no one mentions this is that daughters are not as good as sons.
In their minds, daughters will be outsiders in the future, and a married daughter is like spilled water, unable to carry on the family line.
But if one could use a daughter to exchange for the family's wealth and glory, as well as one's son's future prospects, it would be a "deal" that could not be more profitable.
Therefore, under the ban of the City Lord's Mansion, they tacitly agreed not to mention the daughters who had already entered the City Lord's Mansion, and assumed that they were going there to enjoy a good life.
If something goes wrong in the future and you go to the City Lord's Mansion for help but don't see anyone, they might even secretly curse those daughters and sisters who have become celestial maidens behind your back for not lending a helping hand.
Thinking of this, Lin Fuping's voice became three points colder.
"How are the goddesses selected? Tell me everything about them."
Wang Ergou hesitated.
Why do the enemies of Old Li seem to be more interested in the goddess?
Aren’t these things known to everyone in Jueying City?
And he just asked about the families of other angels!
Could it be that he is not from Jueying City?
How did Old Li become his enemy?
"Good man, don't you know?"
Wang Ergou was somewhat suspicious of Lin Fuping, and was even more afraid that his words would bring himself disaster.
The immortal master in the City Lord's Mansion said
The method of praying for blessings from the goddess is a coveted secret method. People in the city are not allowed to mention the goddess. It must be kept secret.
To prevent the secret method from being exposed and stolen.
A few months ago, thieves stole secret techniques from the City Lord's Mansion.
That night the temperature suddenly dropped and then suddenly rose, and the sound of swords and spears clashing could be heard from the sky. Finally, under the suppression of the immortal master, the thieves were captured.
After that, the Immortal Master did not allow anyone in Jueying City to talk about anything related to the Goddess. Jueying City was even controlled more and more strictly, with people being allowed to enter but not leave.
But it’s okay. Ever since the goddess’ blessing, Jueying City has enjoyed good weather and good harvests. Moreover, the City Lord’s Mansion takes out a lot of food and gold and silver and distributes them to the people every once in a while.
There is no hungry person in Jueying City.
"answer me!"
As the dagger pressed down, Wang Ergou felt a cold pain in his neck and a bloody line appeared.
This is the real deal!
"I said, I said..."
Wang Ergou trembled as he told every detail, fearing that Lin Fuping would tremble and send him to see the ancestor.
a long time...
Wang Ergou finished his story, including the incident of the City Lord’s Mansion being “robbed” a few months ago.
Lin Fuping was worried and forced Wang Ergou to eat a pill.
"This is a poison that penetrates the intestines and corrodes the bones. Without my antidote, you won't survive more than ten days. When you die, blood will flow from all seven orifices, your tendons and veins will be broken, and your internal organs will be torn apart.
No one has the antidote for this poison except me.
Of course, if you try to tell others about me, the poison will be triggered immediately. You can try to report me to the City Lord's Mansion."
After saying that, Lin Fuping pinched Wang Ergou's chin and tilted it upwards, allowing the pill to slide into his throat.
As soon as the pill enters the stomach, it turns into a hot current and flows to the internal organs.
Lin Fuping let go of Wang Ergou, turned around and left quickly.
Wang Ergou knelt down and held his throat tightly, trying to induce vomiting, but what he vomited out was the food he had eaten, and there was no trace of the elixir.
"Good man, please give me the antidote!"
Wang Ergou panicked. He felt his stomach starting to hurt!
Lin Fuping did not look back
"My dear, I am Wang Ergou from Poor Willow Lane. You must give me the antidote on time!"
Lin Fuping's figure turned the corner and disappeared.
Wang Ergou knelt on the ground for a long time before he raised his hands and slapped himself hard several times.
"I told you not to talk too much! I told you not to talk too much! Now you're dead!"
After his cheek was swollen from the beating, Wang Ergou stood up with the help of the wall, cleaned off the dirt and dust on his body, and slowly walked towards home.
He was not going to go to the City Lord's Mansion to report what happened today. He didn't dare to take the risk.
If I didn't say it, I could live ten more days.
If the thief succeeded and gave me the antidote when he was in a good mood, I could live another life.
If it fails, the thief will be captured by the City Lord's Mansion.
It would be a great idea to tell the city lord and ask him to give me the antidote.
After all, in his eyes, the immortals in the City Lord’s Mansion are really good immortals.
...
When he returned to the house, Lin Fuping's figure slowly appeared.
He looked at the yard for a while, then turned and left, breaking the dagger and throwing it aside.
If Wang Ergou had any intention of going to the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Fuping would take action without hesitation.
In this Jueying City, there is no one more important than Senior Sister.
...
After learning that the City Lord's Mansion started selecting the Fairy six years ago, Lin Fuping became even more certain that she was closely related to Wang Tianbao.
I just don’t know who is behind Wang Tianbao!
Lin Fuping watched the sun about to set, gathered his coat, and headed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
...
In everyone's impression, sneaking into the enemy's residence is done in secret, mostly at night.
Just like my senior sisters and brothers!
But Lin Fuping did the opposite. She chose to knock out the food delivery guy and took over herself.
The "goddesses" in the City Lord's Mansion are all mortals!
An ordinary cultivator would not think of disguising himself as a mortal to infiltrate, so Lin Fuping entered the City Lord's Mansion surprisingly smoothly.
