Righteousness and pure love, yet you ask me to spread demons throughout the world?

Sitting next to Sister Qiu Ying, I turned my head to look at her profile.

Qiu Ying's face was indeed as Ling Yue had said—very pleasing to the eye. Even without much makeup, she was always captivating. Fu Hai whispered, "Sister Youying...did we meet when we were little?"

Sister Qiu Ying said calmly, "My master has always loved helping others since he was a child."

"When others do good deeds, they are afraid that the recipient will forget the favor. When you were a child, you did good deeds and were afraid that others would remember them, so it is normal that you can't remember those you helped."

Fu Haitou tilted his head slightly.

He tried hard to recall, but he really couldn't remember. "Sister Qiu Ying, are you a local?" he asked, puzzled.

“No!” Qiu Ying shook her head. Fu Hai looked up again.

He had absolutely no recollection of the older woman from out of town, who was three or four years older than him and whom he had helped when he was a child. But as Qiu Ying said...

He had received excellent education from the successor of the motherland in his previous life.

Originally a model student from another world, after transmigrating here, he helped many people, but basically forgot about them after helping them.

But ultimately, he's small and weak. Although he enjoys helping others, what he could do in the past weren't really anything big; they were mostly just mutual assistance among neighbors.

He had never been to other places.

After all, there are no high-speed trains or cars in this world, and it's not easy for anyone to go out.

Even if he had met Sister Qiu Ying when he was a child, it certainly wouldn't have been in another city. Fu Hai thought about it over and over.

He felt that if he had ever met any older women from other places before, he should have some impression of them, right?

But he couldn't remember, so he thought Sister Qiu Ying might be teasing him. However, Sister Qiu Ying did seem to have a very high level of affection for him.

With such a high level of affection, even if I were to use a "one-finger strike" on her genitals, perineum, and anus, she might not even get angry.

The Fu Hai of today is not as innocent as he was when he was a child.

Thinking about it this way, he actually had a suicidal idea, and his foolish heart began to stir.

Fortunately, he managed to suppress his anger and didn't actually do anything reckless. During the ensuing casual conversation, he probed a few more times.

Qiu Ying still didn't reveal whether the two of them had actually met when they were children, or under what circumstances they had met.

Lingyue and Xiaoye returned just before midnight.

"Why are you two the first to come back?" Fu Hai asked. "Where's Yue Lan?"

Originally, the four of them went shopping together, but Sister Qiu Ying didn't like crowds, so she came back first.

Now that Lingyue and Xiaoye are back, is Yuelan still alone in the city? Song Lingyue said, "Shike, there's no need to ask. You don't want to know anyway."

Fu Hai said, "No, explain clearly, where did Yue Lan go? It's so late, is she playing in the city alone until midnight?" He wasn't worried about Yue Lan's safety.

Firstly, there are now constables and county soldiers everywhere in the city maintaining order.

Secondly, Yue Lan herself is quite strong, at least at the eighth realm, and has also mastered the Shattered Dream Blade, the Chaotic Butterfly Flying Red Blade, and the Flying Star Steps. Although she is just a girl, there should be no danger to her.

But he was worried that if Yue Lan was alone and no one was watching over her, she might endanger others.

He looked at Xiaoye and asked, "Xiaoye, where's Yuelan? Why did you come back first? Aren't you with her?"

Little Ye looked up and said, "Brother, you don't need to ask. You don't want to know anyway." You two should just explain yourselves.

You haven't even said anything yet, so what do you mean by "I don't want to know anyway"?

However, seeing their appearance, Fu Hai thought for a moment and decided not to ask any further questions.

He said, "Alright, you must be tired of playing too. Let's go back to the mountains and rest." Song Lingyue said, "Senior brother, this way."

Fu Hai said, "It's alright. Qiu Ying and I will keep an eye on things here for now. I'm going to the lantern dance tomorrow night, so let Yue Lan and Xiao Ye go into town to see the lanterns. I'll have to trouble you and Qiu Ying to stay here."

Song Lingyue nodded: "Mm."

Then, together with Xiaoye, they first went through the backyard and back into the mountains.

After they left, Sister Qiu Ying said, "Actually, I can just stay at the shop by myself tomorrow. There shouldn't be many people here tomorrow night, as everyone will be going to see the lantern festival, so it won't be too busy."

"Let Miss Lingyue go into the city with them."

Fu Hai said, "It's alright! Let Lingyue stay. Grandpa Fu and his wife will also come to the city to see the lantern festival once a year."

“It’s a big holiday, and Lingyue doesn’t really like crowds anyway, so let her stay at the inn with you.” After a pause, he said, “Sister Qiu Ying, you can just call them by their names, there’s no need to call them ‘Miss’.”

Qiu Ying smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter what you call me, it's just a matter of habit. Besides, it was the master and the two young ladies who took me in." Fu Hai was about to speak.

Suddenly, they heard the sound of a horse-drawn carriage outside.

Standing up, I saw that it was indeed the fellow disciples from the Painting Immortal Pavilion who had returned.

They didn't need to do anything; their own servants had already taken the initiative to lead the carriage to the side courtyard.

However, when they entered the city, there were four fellow disciples, but when they returned, there were only three distinguished guests in the highest-ranking rooms. Of course, they couldn't rush.

Fu Hai welcomed Li Xianrui, Zhu Xiuhui, and Zhao Xiangmei into the inn, and then asked, "Hasn't that third young lady returned yet?"

In that instant, he saw the usually elegant and refined Miss Li Xianrui roll her eyes. She said, rather unsurprised, "Don't mention it."

Her second junior sister, Zhu Xiuhui, said, "Never mind. You probably don't really want to know anyway, shopkeeper." Fu Hai and Sister Qiu Ying exchanged a glance.

No, what does it have to do with us that your third junior sister hasn't returned? What do you mean we don't really want to know?

Zhao Xiangmei, the junior sister of Yuxian Pavilion, said, "Don't worry about them. They will come back when it's time." Fu Hai felt a little regretful.

Li Xianrui glanced at him indifferently and said, "Young Master Fu, there's no need to take it to heart. It's a holiday, and those two girls are being silly. Let them play." After saying that, she didn't say anything more and went upstairs.

Zhao Xiangmei stepped back to the sides, raised her hand next to Fu Hai, and held it to her mouth.

She whispered to Fu Hai, "This time I'm on the side of justice, not personal favoritism. Your junior sister and I are on the same side." She clenched her fist and waved it. Then, together with Zhu Xiuhui, she chased after their senior sister upstairs.

Along the way, she whispered to herself, "I didn't expect this little inn to be so full of hidden talents. Their junior sister is quite amazing, she's even at the eighth realm. I really didn't realize that before."

After the three women went upstairs, Fu Hai looked at Sister Qiu Ying. Sister Qiu Ying said, "I'm afraid so."

Fu Hai suddenly raised his hand: "Stop talking, I don't want to know at all right now."

Chapter 112 The Knife Party and the Mother Party? The cult is still spreading.

We waited until the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), which was late at night, even though it was a holiday.

In the lobby, the guests who had been drinking and playing drinking games earlier had long since left, and the elderly Fu couple had already cleaned up for them.

Fu Hai told the two elderly people to rest first, while he and Qiu Ying stayed to watch. They watched until they saw a flying horse galloping out from the direction of the city gate.

They were quite far apart, and it was already late at night. Both the city gate and the inn's entrance were adorned with lanterns, but the area between them was pitch black. The lanterns facing away from the city gate were not clearly visible to those on the other side.

Fu Hai only vaguely saw that the man on horseback seemed to be carrying two large hammers, and he was startled for a moment: "Is he here to cause trouble?"

Qiu Yingjie stood beside him, casually glancing over, and said, "It's Miss Die." "Miss Die is carrying two big hammers?" Fu Hai asked, "Did she change her weapons?"

Qiu Ying said calmly, "She's carrying our Yue Lan and that third junior sister from the Painting Immortal Pavilion." Fu Hai:

When the horse approached the inn, it was indeed the female knight-errant Murong Die riding it, carrying Xia Yuelan in her left hand and Li Xiangtao in her right.

The two girls, held by their lower backs, looked exhausted. Murong Die slapped them twice and threw them at the inn's entrance before leaping down.

Fu Hai walked past the two girls lying on the ground and came to Murong Die's side: "Sister Die! What happened? Has Yue Lan caused trouble again?"

"It's nothing, just a small matter, don't ask." Murong Die glanced at the two girls, clearly annoyed. Fu Hai looked up at the night sky. Actually, I didn't really want to ask either.

Murong Die stepped forward and said, "Come in first." She then called Xia Yuelan and Li Xiangtao into the main hall.

He sat down at the octagonal table and lectured the two of them: "Don't think that just because it's a big holiday, the government won't arrest people randomly."

"I'll let you off the hook for today. If you cause trouble again tomorrow, I'll arrest you both and lock you up for a few days. Then I'll make your sects write guarantees to demand your release."

"Both of you are martial artists. Even if you don't understand the law, you should at least know martial ethics. Making noise, gathering in a crowd, fighting... you really don't take us law enforcement officers seriously."

What's going on? What's with all this talk of "kitchen knife party" and "mommy party" nonsense?

Xia Yuelan said, "It's the Setsuna Party and the Touma Party."

Li Xiangtao was a daughter of a prestigious sect and a tourist from another prefecture, so Murong Die couldn't really say anything to her. She wasn't so polite to Xia Yuelan, her future sister-in-law.

He slammed his hand on the table: "Whatever your party, you're inciting factional strife and even taking the lead? Do you really want to spend the rest of this Lantern Festival in jail?" Xia Yuelan and Li Xiangtao knew that a good girl wouldn't suffer a loss in the short term, so they shook their heads together.

Kao Rongdie added, "This Lantern Festival is not only organized by the local government, but also supported by the imperial court."

"These past few days, all the gangs, big and small, have quieted down and dared not cause any trouble. Even the major and minor gangs don't dare to hold group fights. But you guys took the lead in public, with the 'kitchen knife gang' and the 'mother gang' starting a fight."

"Today is the first day of the Lantern Festival, so we'll let you off the hook for now. Tomorrow is the even more important Lantern Festival. If you dare to cause trouble again, don't blame us for being impolite." He gave them a warning before getting up.

Fu Hai said, "Miss Die, it's late. Why don't you rest here? Your room is still reserved for you."

Murong Die said, "We still have to deal with that mess. They were just the ringleaders; there are other maids too. We need to give them a good scolding, and then..."

Their families went to collect them.

Stepping outside, he whispered, "Mainly because Yue Lan is your junior sister, and the other one is from the Jade City Mountain Painting Immortal Pavilion, it wouldn't be easy to deal with her if she stayed there, so I brought her here first."

"Don't go and talk to her. It's normal to be overly excited during a holiday. Besides, although it takes two to tango, the other person is definitely more at fault."

After she finished speaking, she leaped onto her horse.

Fu Hai said, "Sister Die, please take care. It's getting dark, so please be careful."

Murong Die smiled and said, "I know you have to join the lantern team tomorrow night, so I'll come and keep you company the night after tomorrow."

Seeing it was dark outside, she playfully touched his face and rode off. Fu Hai opened his mouth! "No, it's the back gate I have to..."

Before he could speak, Miss Butterfly had already spurred her horse toward the city gate. Watching Murong Butterfly ride into the city, Fu Hai returned to the main hall.

The third junior sister of the Painting Immortal Pavilion looked at Sister Qiu Ying and asked, "Could you please go upstairs and see if my eldest senior sister is asleep?" Sister Qiu Ying did not speak, but looked behind her.

Li Xiangtao turned around abruptly, and thankfully, it wasn't her senior sister she saw, but her second senior sister, Zhu Xiuhui. This relieved her.

Zhu Xiuhui came down the stairs and walked to the halfway point, looking down at her: "Senior Sister is still awake and already knows that you were brought back by that female constable."

Li Xiangtao's heart, which had just been at ease, instantly died again.

In fact, Murong Die was not an official constable of the Six Doors, but that was not important.

Anyway, she wore a black and yellow wide belt, carried an official token, and wielded a government-issued goose-feather knife. In the past few days, her authority was the same as that of an official constable, so the people in the county naturally couldn't tell the difference.

Behind Zhu Xiuhui was a maid.

The pouch belonged to Li Xiangtao herself. Seeing her young mistress looking disheveled, she turned to Zhu Xiuhui and said, "Second Miss! Perhaps my maid could..."
