I don't know when it started raining.

The spring rain is lingering, like a girl's kiss, falling on the face and head, making you feel itchy and tingling.

This should have been a gentle, peaceful night.

A group of ferocious palace guards, shouting slogans, shattered the tranquility of the night. They rushed to the gate of the Bai family, carrying dozens of corpses, and kicked the door violently.

In all directions, lights were on in many mansions, and people were looking out from the walls.

Dozens of corpses were placed in a row in front of the Bai family's gate. Lu Yi rode on the Black Cloud Beast and carried the spear on his shoulder. His clear voice spread to several surrounding neighborhoods.

"Deputy Chief Bai, someone attacked the Yushunfang Investigation Office at night. These assassins were dressed exactly like the woman in black who appeared in your backyard last time. I suspect that this night attack is related to you. Please come out and cooperate with the investigation."

The door of the mansion across the street was slightly opened, and someone behind the door took a deep breath: "What hatred or grudge? Lord Tianyang just returned to Gaojing today, why did he come to our door with a corpse?"

The door of the Bai family opened, and a white-haired old man came out tremblingly holding a lantern: "Our master is not at home. These days, the master has been staying at the Imperial College, not at home!"

"Not at home?" Lu Yi looked at the old man.

The old man opened the door halfway, stepped aside, and made way: "If Lord Tianyang doesn't believe it, just go in and search. However, the Bai family is now the royal concubine's family. If Lord Tianyang insists on doing it, please consider the consequences first."

Lu Yi looked at the old man and nodded slowly.

"Yes, it's the royal concubine's family. Tsk...well, may I ask where is the wife of Deputy Headmaster Bai's distant cousin who came from afar to seek refuge with him?" Lu Yi smiled and looked at the old man.

Lu Yu raised his head, looked at the rainy sky, and felt a little sad.

The three Qingyou girls were too ruthless and the leader of the Jile Tiangong was chopped into pieces by the sword light.

Otherwise, her body would be the best evidence.

What a pity.

The old man's face turned very ugly, and he pointed at Lu Yi and shouted: "Tianyang, stop talking nonsense. The women in the back house are not something you, a man outside, can ask about. You must know that my master governs the family with 'propriety' and will not tolerate your nonsense."

Lu Yi coughed lightly and said, "She is involved in a case. Please ask her to come out and see me."

As soon as Lu Yi finished speaking, a stunning woman dressed as a young widow, wearing a plain white long skirt and a long white scarf on her head, walked out of the door tremblingly: "This...this sir...I...I..."

Lu Yi's pupils narrowed.

This woman looks exactly like the leader of the Paradise Palace, the so-called 'distant cousin' of Bai Changkong.

I don't know what kind of trick this is, but at least Lu Yi glanced at her face several times and couldn't find any flaws in her face. A pretty and timid face is natural, as if it was born this way.

Moreover, there was no sign of any spiritual practice on this woman; she was just an ordinary woman from the common people.

Lu Yi sighed: "It seems that I was wrong. You have nothing to do with this case."

Waving his hand, Lu Yi said coldly: "Send these bodies, hearts, and two kidneys to the Guardian Guard headquarters and keep them well as evidence. Especially the two kidneys, I don't know if their original owners will remember them."

In the Bai family mansion, in the third courtyard, there is a small building.

Bai Changkong was lying on a soft couch with his upper body exposed and his teeth gritted.

Beside him, there were two handsome male disciples from the Paradise Palace lying on their backs. They also had their upper bodies exposed and a long wound on their waists and abdomens, but there was no blood at all.

Bai Changkong's abdominal cavity was ruptured, and the kidneys taken out from the bodies of two male disciples of the Paradise Palace were being placed into his abdomen by two female disciples of the Paradise Palace.

A female disciple poured a bottle of blood-colored potion into his abdominal cavity and placed it on the two kidneys in Bai Changkong's abdominal cavity. Extremely thin blood vessels, nerves, ligaments, etc. began to wriggle rapidly and quickly became one with Bai Changkong's body.

"Don't worry, Bai Xingxing. With our secret medicine, these two kidneys will fit perfectly with your body, and there won't be any problems."

A female disciple of the Paradise Palace said with a smile, "Bai Xingzou is already old, and you have used your two kidneys for so many years. You have made a great profit by replacing them with two young ones."

The two male disciples of the Paradise Palace looked at Bai Changkong with resentment.

Bai Changkong made a lot of money, but they... suffered a huge loss!

Bai Changkong took a deep breath and said solemnly: "This secret medicine..."

The female disciple of the Paradise Palace who helped Bai Changkong put on the kidney sighed and said, "You must be careful next time. This secret medicine is not something we can make now. It was carefully preserved by our elders from ancient times at a great cost."

Bai Changkong coughed lightly: "I see. Then, the leader..."

The female disciple of Jile Tian Palace reached out and pieced together the wound on Bai Changkong's abdomen, and applied some secret medicine on it. She watched as buds of tissue began to grow on his wound, and the wound began to heal quickly.

"We have sent a message to the mountain gate." The female disciple of the Paradise Palace said with a sinister look in her eyes: "It is a great shame that the current leader was killed by someone. This matter will not be let go so easily."

Bai Changkong nodded with satisfaction, as long as he wouldn't give up.
The more the Paradise Palace refused to give up, the more support he would get. He firmly believed that no matter who the Paradise Palace sent next, they would have to rely on him as an outer sect member.

What a pity.

After savoring the wonderful taste of the master of the Paradise Palace teaching him the true method... Bai Changkong suddenly felt hot all over. He looked at the two female disciples who performed the operation on him and laughed.

"My two junior sisters, I do feel that I have become much younger."

The lights in the small building went out, and a woman's bell-like laughter could be heard faintly.

Occasionally, one could hear a weak wailing sound: "Senior Sister, please help us take a look at our wounds. They are so big..."

Early the next morning, Lu Yi went out and turned a corner and arrived at Xianrenju.

He ordered an extremely sumptuous breakfast, which included crab roe soup dumplings, red oil wontons, chicken soup silver thread noodles, crab roe steamed dumplings, etc. There were thirty or forty varieties of all kinds, and they were all new items that had only become popular in Gaojing in the past four or five years.

The grapefruits, limes and lemons all looked at these delicacies with their eyes wide open.

Qingyou is okay, after all, she is two years older and can barely maintain the etiquette and demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family.

Lime and lemon didn't wash their faces, brush their teeth, or comb their hair. They were like two little pigs, almost lying on the dining table, eating happily with "wooooooo".

“Delicious, this is delicious!”

“Delicious, this one is delicious too!”

“Delicious, this is so delicious!”

"Ah, at home, the food cooked by the aunts and sisters-in-law is simply pig food for pigs!"

People who practice cultivation, even if they are not specialized in physical cultivation, have abundant essence and blood and strong body functions. As long as they are willing, they can eat a lot and can eat ten cows in one meal.

Lu Yi brought breakfast for more than 40 people. Qingyou finished about five portions of exquisite snacks. Lu Yi, as a token of appreciation, accompanied the two portions. The rest were all finished by Qingning and Qingmeng, leaving no soup left.

The tableware was cleared away and a maid served the imperial tea.

Lu Yi began to communicate with Qingyou and the other two girls about the tasks assigned to them by Yinyuan.

"Miss Qingyou, I recognize the female ghost leader. I almost became her husband." Lu Yi said straight to the point. Qingyou's eyes widened, while Qingning and Qingmeng, who were holding their stomachs and unable to move, looked at Lu Yi with amazement and inexplicable admiration.

"I know her background, and I also know that she will not let Bai Changkong go."

"So, I think that if we want to find those sneaky people, it's better to keep an eye on Bai Changkong instead of running around the streets."

Lu Yi sipped the fragrant tea and told the story of his grievances with Bai Lu's family. At the same time, he also pointed out the identity of the leader of the Paradise Palace last night - she actually came to Gaojing under the name of Bai Changkong's distant cousin's wife.

Qingyou listened to Lu Yi's words and took out the thick book from her bag.

"Yes, the method used by that woman last night... It was the Ji Le Wan Mei Tu, an extremely evil secret technique. Well, Ji Le Tian Gong... They and Qing Lin Jian Pavilion are also enemies for generations. Many of our ancestors fell into their hands."

While Lu Yi, Qingyou and the other two were discussing, Lu Yu was drafting a document for granting merit in the Tian'en Mansion.

Lu Jun and Lu Yi sat in front of Lu Yu's desk, holding large tea bowls the size of a human head, and drinking boiled tea mixed with horse milk, ghee, and various seasonings, which had a very strong northern grassland flavor.

"Take this document to Lu Yu later. If he agrees, you can use the seal. After all, he is the chief commander of this army."

"Tell Lu Yi that I am not showing favoritism in recommending credit to your three uncles and five cousins. Tell him directly that those people are not worthy of my showing favoritism for them."

"If he has any questions, let him come to me or ask Senior Brother Shi'e."

"A few days ago, ghosts were rampant in broad daylight in Gaojing City, and you also encountered the demon cubs from the Battle Demon Palace at Anping Pass. It can be seen that the three religions have already taken action. This world is about to be in chaos."

"My Buddhist sect has set up shop in Anping Prefecture. As for the Taoist and Demon sects, I don't know what plans they have."

"In short, living in a time of great contention is like a bean on a millstone. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces. Young people like you act impulsively. If you are not careful, you may cause disaster... You must be very careful and cautious."

Lu Yu was teaching his son a lesson here when he heard hurried footsteps and a general of the Canglang Cavalry knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in!"

Lu Yu gave a light shout.

The general strode into the study and saluted towards Lu Yu: "My Lord, at Anping Pass, Wang?'s army has been completely destroyed."

With a "snap" sound, the brush in Lu Yu's hand broke.

He looked up at the general in shock: "Total destruction? Not a rout?"

The general nodded seriously: "It's not a rout. It's a total annihilation!"
