Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 251 - 250 missed it.

"Master, are you injured?!"

Hearing this, Yi Yao suddenly stood up and then walked to Jiang Ruoqing's side, saying, "Master, where are you hurt? Let me see..."

Letting her see would mean taking off clothes, right?

How could that be done in this tavern?

Jiang Ruoqing shook her head and chuckled lightly, "It's just a small injury, it's already healed. Yaoyao, you don't need to worry."

Hearing this, Yi Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt increasingly guilty, her eyes reddening as she said with a choked voice, "Master... it's all my fault, if it wasn't for me telling him your location, you... you wouldn't have been injured..."

After speaking, Yi Yao couldn't hold back any longer and began to cry softly.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruoqing had no choice but to hold her in her arms, gently patting her back and continuously comforting her, saying that it wasn't her fault.

And isn't it true that nothing happened to her now, so Yi Yao shouldn't take it to heart.

Let the past be the past, don't overthink it.

Under Jiang Ruoqing's gentle comfort, Yi Yao's emotions gradually calmed down.

Seeing her calm down, Jiang Ruoqing then asked, "By the way, Yaoyao, what about you and Chen Hong?"

Yi Yao's face immediately turned red, and she couldn't say a word.

Jiang Ruoqing, on the other hand, thought she was being mistreated, and her eyes suddenly turned cold, saying, "Yaoyao, let me kill him for you."

Yi Yao hurriedly stopped the angering Jiang Ruoqing, saying, "Master, no, he... he treats me quite well, even feels sorry for me, and when he learned you were captured, he wanted to go to the Xiao Mansion himself to ask around."

"But he's a eunuch, even if he treats you well, he's not a good match for you. I still wish you could escape from Bianliang safely," Jiang Ruoqing said.

"He's not..." Yi Yao was almost about to reveal that Chen Mo wasn't a eunuch, but since this matter was very complicated, she swallowed her words and said, "Master, this is quite complicated, and your disciple can't tell you for now. Besides, I've already married him; married to a chicken as with a chicken, married to a dog as with a dog. I can't follow you to the Su Nv Sect any longer..."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruoqing's eyes widened slightly, her red lips opened and closed, but she still said nothing in the end.

Going back to Su Nv Sect, she couldn't go back, after all, she had promised to be Chen Mo's canary.

So, she would stay in Bianliang.

"His residence is heavily guarded, so it might be inconvenient for you to come find me, Master." Yi Yao hesitated as she said, "Master, where are you staying now? If it's okay, I can come find you."

Originally, Jiang Ruoqing wanted to tell her current address, but if Chen Mo came to find her and was bumped into by Yi Yao, it would be awkward, so she said, "Hongfu Tavern, third floor, west of the city. If you see the window on the far right open with a red ribbon hanging, you can come up to find me.

If not, it means there's a situation."

Hearing this, Yi Yao nodded.

...

On another side.

Hu Mei'Er, under the pretense of going home to visit her father, left the palace.

Then, in her father's name, she invited Chen Hong to Hu Mansion.

But she returned empty-handed.

Chen Hong was not at the Chen Mansion now.

His return date was uncertain.

Similarly, Zhao Jiangning also came back empty-handed.

After all, her illness had not fully healed.

Because of what happened that day, Zhao Jiangning was avoiding Chen Mo.

But in the past couple of days, she was really tormented by her illness, and when it relapsed today, Zhao Jiangning almost went mad. Finally, she had no choice and bit the bullet to see Chen Mo.

When she was informed that Chen Mo wasn't there.

Zhao Jiangning thought he was deliberately avoiding her.

She stomped her foot in anger and left.

...

On another side.

Chen Mo and Zhao Fujin were galloping at full speed towards Shuiming County.

Without stopping to rest, the two went straight to the Shuiming County Government Office.

At the front of the Shuiming County Government Office, there was a crowd of people, but they were stopped by the officials and couldn't enter the office.

Unable to enter, the crowd started shouting:

"Please, County Magistrate, do justice for me! I had a son in my old age, and now my son died a tragic death, drained of all his blood. Surely it was an evil spirit committing crimes again..."

"Master, and me too. Didn't you say before that within a week, the evil spirit would be captured and brought to justice? How long has it been now... boohoo..."

There was a commotion in front of the government office, and even the lightest punishment meant getting beaten; the reason they still dared to make noise was simply because they had no place to vent their grief.

After all, these people causing a "scene" were all close relatives of the deceased.

In a short time, there had been more than a dozen murder cases in Shuiming County, including several cases of massacred households, causing a great uproar. The county magistrate of Shuiming County was also under immense pressure.

But whether or not this matter could be resolved, his official position had reached its peak, with no hope of promotion.

Facing the "venting" of the populace, he could only hide in the county office and not come out, sending the master to convey his words.

"Everyone, please quiet down, quiet down. The county magistrate said that he understands your feelings, but this evil spirit is too bizarre. The magistrate has already reported the case, and soon officials from the Imperial City Department will come to investigate. Everyone, please wait a little longer..." the master said, standing in the front with officials protecting him.

"Wait longer? How many days have we waited?"

"We want an explanation. If we don't get an explanation, we won't leave today."

"..."

The crowd clamored.

At that moment, an official shouted out, "Make way, make way."

The crowd parted to form a path, and upon arrival, the official was somewhat excited as he said, "Master, the noble officials from the Capital have arrived to see the county magistrate."

Hearing this, the master's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked around, "Where are the officials, my lord?"

The officials stepped aside, revealing the figures of Chen Mo and Zhao Fujin.

The master was stunned, "So young?"

Moreover, Chen Mo and Zhao Fujin were wearing luxurious clothes, which made the master feel somewhat unreliable. He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and confirmed, "Are you both officials from the Imperial City Department?"

Zhao Fujin stepped forward and took out the Disciple Token of the Shenxiao Sect, saying, "This case has been taken by the Shenxiao Sect."

Seeing the token, the master changed his previous doubts and immediately accompanied his words with a smile, "So, it's the Immortal Master, please come in. The county magistrate has been waiting for you two for a long time."

Hearing that it was the Immortal Masters from the Capital, the citizens also wanted to come up. The master waved his hand, instructing the officials to open a path, and then he led Zhao Fujin and Chen Mo into the county office.

When Chen Mo and the others arrived, an official had already gone in to notify them.

When Chen Mo and the others entered, the Shuiming County Magistrate was walking over from the back office, wearing his official hat.

"I am Liu Tan, greetings to the two Immortal Masters." Liu Tan cupped his hands towards the two of them and then asked, "May I know how to address the two Immortal Masters?"

"Chen Hong." Chen Mo replied truthfully.

Zhao Fujin thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Ya."

"Zhao Ya?!"

Liu Tan raised his eyebrows and immediately became very respectful, "Humble one greets Immortal Master Zhao."
