The Way of Spiritual Journey

Chapter 67, Li Lang's Aftermath

"Don't want to go back? Then come back with me." Li Lang said this casually, as he was used to teasing girls in his past life. Usually, the girl would roll her eyes and spit in response.

But it's clear that this is not a normal situation, and Rou'er is not an ordinary girl.

Rou'er's eyes lit up, as if she had been waiting for these words. "Young master is so kind. Thank you for taking me in."

"No, shouldn't you have refused outright?" Li Lang was taken aback. Were the girls here so easy to pick up?

"Refuse? Does Rou'er have the right to refuse?" Rou'er said quietly.

"So, if you come back with me, what will happen to your young lady?" Nalan Mingyue was still wearing a light veil, and Li Lang had not yet seen her true face. He also seemed to have no interest in her, so he asked again.

"Of course, Miss is with us," Rou'er replied.

"I'm afraid that won't work. Your young lady has a good reputation. If she goes out and doesn't come back, it will cause trouble." Li Lang shook his head. He knew that many people were watching Nalan Mingyue, and he really didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble because of this.

"My young lady is so unfortunate. She has survived this ordeal, which is already a great blessing. If you were to push her into another sea of ​​suffering, how could you bear it, young master?" Rou'er's eyes welled up with tears again as she looked at Li Lang, her tone filled with sorrow.

Here we go again, it's driving me crazy.

"Sigh, let's go to my place first, we can talk about other things tomorrow." Li Lang sighed, carrying Nalan Mingyue, and adjusted the direction towards the cooperative.

Rou'er followed behind, her face full of joy, finally achieving her goal.

Wangcai Cooperative.

The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix must not have returned yet; the courtyard was completely silent.

Li Lang quietly entered the room, placed Nalan Mingyue on the bed, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, finally home.

"You can sleep here tonight, we'll talk about tomorrow tomorrow." As soon as Li Lang relaxed, he felt a little tired and all he wanted to do was find a place to get a good night's sleep.

"Young Master, Miss has not yet woken up, I am very worried." When Rou'er saw Li Lang about to leave, she quickly grabbed his hand, her eyes filled with expectation. Her words were tactful, but her meaning was very clear: she hoped that Li Lang would stay and take care of her young lady.

"Your young lady is fine. She wasn't poisoned; she just fainted. She should wake up after a night's rest." Li Lang had already checked on Nalan Mingyue and confirmed that she wasn't poisoned. As for anything else, he didn't know.

"That's good." Hearing Li Lang's words, Rou'er breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.

Li Lang comforted Rou'er, then turned and left without lingering.

So far, things have been handled fairly well, but Li Lang hasn't decided how to proceed next.

Li Lang stood in the courtyard and went over the cause and effect of the matter.

During the day, when Peachwood Taoist bought poems at a high price, Li Lang was suspicious and didn't believe he was doing it for the sake of leaving a good name for posterity. He never expected it was to seduce Nalan Mingyue.

At night, the Peachwood Taoist appeared at Qifeng Tower, disguised as Li Lang. Could this be the legendary art of disguise? It's simply divine.

Rou'er recognized Li Lang's appearance, and perhaps Nalan Mingyue had seen him as well, so she was able to enter the boudoir without any trouble.

At this point, everything was still in accordance with the plan; the mishap was likely to occur in the boudoir.

Rou'er was summoned out, and Tao Mu, unable to act in her boudoir, hastily fled with her, only to be pursued and killed.

Clearly, Momoki had a plan, and he himself was part of someone else's plan.

Now that things have been sorted out, the situation is basically clear. As for the more detailed aspects, Li Lang, who wasn't involved, couldn't understand them anyway.

The only thing Li Lang could understand now was that he was now involved in the cause and effect, and it was time for him to clean up the mess.

Li Lang's cleanup was actually not complicated; it was simply a matter of spending money. Li Lang was rich and willing to spend money, as it could resolve the karmic debt and cultivate virtue.

Li Lang nodded to himself, "Let's do it this way."

Before dawn, the red lights of Fengming Street still shone brightly.

"Is the government really this efficient?" Li Lang stood in front of Qifeng Tower, marveling at the situation.

In front of Qifeng Tower, sentries were already in place, and soldiers were dressed in armor, carrying swords and spears.

It seems that Qifenglou already knows about Nalan Mingyue's disappearance. This is a serious matter and must be reported.

Li Lang stepped forward, but armored soldiers blocked his way.

"Martial law is in effect here. All outsiders, please leave immediately!" a soldier shouted, pointing his spear.

Li Lang was slightly stunned. He hadn't been scolded like this in a long time. He knew that he couldn't get in today with money.

So he took out the jade token that the princess had given him and handed it over, saying, "Give this to your manager and tell him to come out and see me."

Li Lang's words were casual, yet they revealed the majesty of a noble young master. He always had a knack for intimidating people.

Sure enough, the soldiers, seeing this, dared not delay, took the jade token and went inside.

A moment later, a man dressed in a scarlet official robe strode out.

"I was unaware that the Princess had sent an envoy. I, Wu Youdao, have been impolite." The man walked up to Li Lang, presented the Princess's jade token with both hands, and bowed deeply.

"This thing works well," Li Lang smiled slightly, raised his hand, and said, "You're too kind, sir."

Wu Youdao then stood up, his gaze sweeping over Li Lang's face, revealing a deep look of shock.

"You, you are the Spirit Master?" Wu Youdao's voice trembled slightly, his eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.

"You know me?" Li Lang asked with a smile. It seemed that this person was a fan of his, which made things much easier.

"Your humble servant, oh, I also went to buy jade soap yesterday, but I only witnessed the splendid skill of the Spirit Master from afar, and I greatly admire him." Wu Youdao smiled awkwardly, speaking tactfully, but Li Lang understood perfectly.

Wu Youdao's official rank was not high, so he naturally had no status in Dadu. If he wanted to follow the trend and buy a jade soap, he had to stand in line far away, so he could only see Li Lang from afar.

"Oh? Lord Wu also likes jade soap?" Li Lang asked with a smile.

"That's my wife. I heard that only those of high social standing in the capital can afford such things, and she insisted that I take her to buy it. Sigh, it's such an expensive item..." Wu Youdao said, seemingly getting into character, and even sighed. Indeed, even at one hundred taels of silver, it was still ridiculously expensive.

Hearing this, Li Lang still smiled.

"Oh, look at my mouth." Wu Youdao looked at Li Lang's smiling face, suddenly shivered, and came to his senses, slapped himself. "The items are excellent, and not expensive. To be able to buy items from a Spirit Master is a blessing for us mere mortals..."

Wu Youdao was a little nervous, his words becoming somewhat incoherent, and he timidly looked at Li Lang. He was joking, after all; the other party was a Spirit Master, a powerful figure capable of manipulating events. What was wrong with him today?

"Don't be nervous. Your wife likes jade soap. I'll have someone send two over another day. I'd like to be your friend." Li Lang smiled again. This was a very simple matter.

"Really? Master Ling, you're willing to be my friend?" Wu Youdao exclaimed excitedly.
