039 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 38

☆、Chapter 38 Admiring the flower through the red clouds heart pitiful 3

The author has something to say: I will update tonight at around 24:00. I will go home late. Please don’t update too early.

Xie Lian stared at the young man in red and said: “You…”

He wanted to say something, but now, countless pairs of eyes around him were looking at this side. Huacheng’s attitude was very ambiguous, as if he knew him, but also seemed not to know him. Xie Lian didn’t know if he couldn’t show his face in the ghost market and get to know him. It was intentional, and it was hard to say anything. He just said: “Thank you.”

Lang Qianqiu said: “Why thank him? He opened this place, and he had no good intentions from the beginning.”

“…” Xie Lian whispered, “His Royal Highness, stop talking and leave quickly.”

If he stayed any longer, he still didn’t know what Lang Qianqiu was going to say. Besides, he still had matters to attend to, so it was inconvenient for him to stay longer. He looked at Huacheng several times, pushed Lang Qianqiu and walked out.At this time, Huacheng said behind him: “Wait a minute.”

Hearing the sound, Xie Lian stopped again and turned around.A voice from among the ghosts said: “City Lord, we can’t just let them go like this!”

“This person looks suspicious, has immense strength, and his origin may not be simple. In my opinion, he should stay and be tortured.”

“Yes, I can’t tell for sure. Who sent this spy to deliberately come to our territory to cause trouble?”

This last sentence is heartbreaking.It is indeed from heaven, but the intention is not to cause trouble, but to explore the situation.Xie Lian was not sure whether Huacheng had seen the glimmer of light that Lang Qianqiu had released in desperation before, and he was not completely sure that he would let them go if he saw it. His heart was a little worried.But Huacheng said leisurely: “Don’t you keep the bet?”

Xie Lian was slightly startled and said: “Bet?”

Lang Qianqiu stopped in front of him and said warily: “Do you want to regret it again?”

Xie Lian thought to himself: “Sanlang will not go back on his promise to others, maybe he has other intentions?” So, he stood up from behind Lang Qianqiu and said: “But, we just made a bet, didn’t I already win?”

Huacheng said: “Brother Cai did beat me just now, that’s right. However, don’t forget that you also lost before.”

Xie Lian was stunned and said: “But you said it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t count.”

Although it doesn’t count if you lose the bet, it only counts if you win the bet. This sounds quite shameless, but Xie Lian still asked shamelessly.Huachengdao: “Of course losing the few games you bet with me doesn’t count. What I’m talking about is your first bet below.”

Xie Lian then remembered that it turned out that Huacheng was talking about the one he threw two sixes when he was younger.

Lang Qianqiu said solemnly: “I just said that he was not well-intentioned and didn’t intend to let us leave so cheaply. I won’t be locked up this time.”

Hearing that he was ready for another round and eager to try, Xie Lian quickly grabbed him and said: “It’s okay, don’t be nervous, there’s no need to fight again.”

Over there, Huacheng tilted his head and said: “How? Brother, do you recognize it?”

If you are willing to admit defeat, what else can you do besides admitting it obediently?So, Xie Lian nodded and said: “I admit it.”

Huacheng spread his left hand and said: “Then, just give me the agreed bet.”

…The promised bet?

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Lian put his right hand into his left sleeve, touched it, and took out half a steamed bun. He glanced at it with a bit of confusion, then handed it out and said, “Is this what you’re talking about…?”

To be honest, when he took out this half of the steamed bun, Xie Lian just felt that this face that had not been broken for 800 years suddenly became a little shaky and unbearable.

The ghosts in the hall had nothing to say for a long time and were watching quietly.It was the first time the city lord made a bet with someone, and the agreed bet was an uneaten steamed bun, so forget it, maybe it was just for fun.But the city lord actually seriously asked someone to recover the half of the steamed bun.I have nothing to say, really nothing to say.Some ghosts couldn’t help but have a bold idea: Either there is a shocking secret hidden in this half of the steamed bun, or this person is really the brother of the city lord!

Huacheng took it with a smile, raised it up to take a look, shook it in his hand, and said: “I received the bet.”

Seeing that he really accepted it, Xie Lian didn’t know what to say.After a long while, he said: “That… is cold. It seems to be a bit hard.”

Huacheng said: “It doesn’t matter. I don’t mind.”

He answered like this. Xie Lian had no room to answer. He had already said everything he could say, turned around and walked out.Just now, all the ghosts in the gambling house gave way to him, and they all rushed to see him being the first to step forward. He was a brave man.This time they gave way to him, but they all looked at him with awe and curiosity.Xie Lian walked a few steps and heard the ghosts behind him saying: “City Lord, City Lord, where are you going next?”

Huacheng replied lazily: “I’m happy today and go to Jilefang.”

Hearing this, the hall burst into cheers, as if it was a New Year’s Eve.Xie Lian couldn’t help but look back, and saw Hua Cheng turning around, holding the half bun in his hand, throwing it away, lowering his head and taking a bite, and cast his eyes here again.

Seeing this scene, Xie Lian paused slightly. For some reason, he felt that he really couldn’t stay in this place for a moment longer. He quickened his pace and dragged Lang Qianqiu out quickly.

The two of them left the gambling house and ran for a long time, almost knocking down various hawker stalls on the way. Finally, they arrived at a slightly quieter alley. Shi Qingxuan immediately appeared and joined them.Shi Qingxuan shook the folding fan wildly, causing his hair to fly wildly, and said: “It was so dangerous, my mother, I was so scared just now that my face turned pale.”

Probably because he rushed too hastily, Xie Lian’s heart was beating loudly.Lang Qianqiu said: “Yes, Master Feng, I think your face is still very white even now.”

Shi Qingxuan touched his face and smiled and said: “Really? Hahahaha, this is not scary, this is my nature…cough! Qianqiu, you are also a god of war who is in charge of one side after all, how can you be so impulsive? This is in their territory of the ghost world. If you are caught and your identity is exposed, it is reported that the heavenly priest disguised himself and sneaked into the ghost market to behave strangely and destroy the peace of the three realms. How should we explain to the emperor?”

Lang Qianqiu lowered his head and admitted his mistake honestly: “I’m sorry, I was just impulsive.” He then raised his head and said, “But those gamblers are too crazy. If that man opens that cup, the outcome will be bad no matter whether he wins or loses. Either his daughter will suffer, or his colleagues will suffer. I was angry and broke the cup.”

Shi Qingxuan said: “Then don’t just rush out by yourself.”

Lang Qianqiu was stunned for a moment and said, “What should I do, Master Feng Master? If I don’t rush out, no one else will.”

He asked seriously, and Shi Qingxuan raised his temples with a fan a little troubled, and said: “This…”

Xie Lian smiled slightly and said: “Forget it.”

Lang Qianqiu looked up at him.Xie Lian added: “I think that even if His Highness Taihua is caught, no matter how tortured he is, he will not tell the other party his identity. However, in order to prevent the other party from finding any clues from the clues in the words, His Highness should be careful in the future and not get caught.”

Lang Qianqiu nodded and said: “Okay! I understand.”

Shi Qingxuan said: “Don’t say it, don’t say it. Oh, by the way, His Royal Highness…”

At the sound of “Your Highness,” Xie Lian and Lang Qianqiu turned to look at him at the same time, Shi Qingxuan said: “Oh, I am calling the older one.”

“…”

Xie Lian rubbed his eyebrows a little depressed, and thought to himself: “I’m older…well, a little older, but not much older. Why do you always talk about me as if you’re talking about an old man?”

Shi Qingxuan said: “His Royal Highness, have you two met in Shenwu Palace before? If you have not, let me introduce you to each other. This is His Royal Highness Lang Qianqiu, the Crown Prince of Yong’an Kingdom, the God of War in the East. This is His Royal Highness Crown Prince Xie Lian of Xianle Kingdom. He is a priest who is highly relied upon by the emperor.”

The word he was stuck on didn’t need to be spoken to thank Xie Lian for knowing what was coming next, but he forcefully changed his words mid-sentence, not even caring about the flaw in syntax.After hearing this, Lang Qianqiu looked at Xie Lian and wondered: “Are you the Crown Prince who has ascended three times?”

It seems that Lang Qianqiu really slept from beginning to end in the Shenwu Palace before, and didn’t even remember who he was.If it were another person, saying this in front of Xie Lian would definitely be ridiculing.However, these words came from Lang Qianqiu’s mouth. Xie Lian completely believed that this child really only thought it was strange to ascend three times.He smiled and said: “Yes, it’s me.”

Lang Qianqiu said: “Thank you so much just now! Otherwise…” He thought of something and quickly lowered his head to collect his belt and tied it tightly, with a look of lingering fear on his face.He obviously didn’t think too much about the relationship between Xianle Kingdom and Yong’an Kingdom. Shi Qingxuan also felt that this introduction was enough, and said to Xie Lian: “Your Highness, doesn’t Blood Rain Tanhua know you? Why did he pretend to be unfamiliar with you just now?”

Lang Qianqiu tied up his belt and said: “Is that really the bloody rain of flowers? Is it me?”

Before Xie Lian could speak, he heard Shi Qingxuan say: “How could it be the real person? Huacheng must have had more than a hundred skins. No one knows what his real person looks like. Last time I went to Banyueguan and saw him, he seemed to look like this. It must be a fake skin. Fake.”

Xie Lian always remembered what Huacheng said to him in the Bodhisattva Temple, “The next time we meet again, I will see you with my original appearance.” He thought: “It is true.”

But of course this sentence was not spoken.Seeing that everyone else thought it was a piece of fake skin, only he knew that it was Xueyu Tanhua’s true face, as if he knew a great little secret.Then I thought about it again: “Sanlang’s appearance is not much different from before. He seems to be a little bigger and taller. In other words, when he saw me for the first time, he almost had his real appearance.” Inexplicably, he felt a little happy.

Over there, Shi Qingxuan said again: “Everyone said that Huacheng has a weird temper, and it seems to be really weird. He is obviously trying to trick you, but he also pretends not to know you in a serious manner and does not know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd. Is it to make us relax our vigilance?”

Hearing this, Xie Lian coughed several times in a row.Sure enough, everyone could see that Huacheng was in trouble just now in the gambling house.No wonder, instead of saying that it is releasing water, it is better to say that it is opening the floodgates.Only Lang Qianqiu couldn’t see it anymore and frowned: “Did he let go? Why?”

The other two patted him on the shoulder and chose not to explain to him in a tacit understanding. Lang Qianqiu was left standing alone and thinking about why Huacheng wanted to give Xie Lian some trouble. Was it because they knew each other.The two turned around and walked away, thanking Lian: “Now our whereabouts have been exposed, what should we do next? Change skins and come again? I don’t recommend changing skins, it’s useless. His Highness Taihua slaps him out, and the ghost market will probably strengthen a round of vigilance.”

Shi Qingxuan said: “To be honest, I thought I would be exposed, but I never thought I would be exposed so soon.”

Xie Lian sighed: “I understand, I understand.”

Shi Qingxuan said: “If you’re exposed, just expose it. Since you’ve been exposed, otherwise, you can do it openly.”

Xie Lian vaguely guessed in his heart what “justice” meant.Sure enough, Shi Qingxuan said again: “If you still want to tell the lie now, you can only go to Huacheng openly and tell him that you came here specifically to see him. He knows that you are a priest from the heaven, right? If he knows, it makes sense that you brought a few younger brothers from the heaven.”
