"What's going on now?" Jiang Wen looked in astonishment at the illusory image in his mind, which resembled Zi Yun, but with a few more hints of transcendence.
Jiang Wen was puzzled, unable to understand why Zi Yun's figure would appear in his consciousness, and next to his divine statue. She held a sprig of leaves in her hand, in a pose reminiscent of the Dharma.
He searched for a while, but found nothing special.
Thinking about Zi Yun's actions these past few days, which were similar to what he had done in Taicang, he manifested in his consciousness. He had a slight idea in his mind, perhaps the manifestation of this divine statue is related to the deeds one has done?
Not dwelling too much on these matters, Jiang Wen had been transforming into another identity these past few days to search for Su Mu. After all, the Taishen Palace is still the official righteous path on the surface, and the information it can obtain is more direct than from the shadows.
However, after a few days of getting along, he and Su Mu had already become good friends and become familiar with each other.

Seeing that Jiang Wen was interested in the matter of the demon disaster and loss of life in Sucheng, Su Mu did not hide anything. On his first day at the Taishen Palace, he caused an uproar, and the disciples stationed in the palace dared to be angry but dared not speak out. After all, who told him to be from the imperial capital, with too much power behind him.
"According to Brother Mu's meaning, Wen Yanming was deliberately framed and murdered?" Jiang Wen already knew about Wen Yanming's matter, after all, he had met Wen Qinghong in the brothel. After bidding farewell to Wen Qinghong that day, he had instructed the madam to take good care of her. Although she is now in the brothel, she is not in any danger.
"Who is this...?" the old man asked.
Su Mu took the invitation, glanced at the words on it. Then a look of disdain appeared in his eyes, and he snorted softly: "This group of mediocre officials, doing no good deeds, but like to do this kind of flattering method."
When he saw Jiang Wen, although there was some amazement and greed in his eyes, after thinking of something, he only showed reverence.
"Sir, the magistrate of Sucheng learned of your arrival and specially prepared a welcoming banquet for you."
Jiang Wen looked over and saw an old man in brocade clothes walking over with a smile, reaching out his hands to greet Su Mu.
The rights and wrongs of the world can't escape the seven emotions and six desires after all.
But at this moment, a voice came from outside the door. It was a disciple guarding the door handing over an invitation.
"Since Miss Lu said so, then I will go and take a look. Miss Lu, would you like to go together?" Su Mu invited earnestly.
"When you see injustice on the road, you should naturally draw your sword to help. Moreover, in this chaotic world of demons, how can we cultivators have a reason to ignore it," Jiang Wen said righteously.
Su Mu crawled out of the carriage, looked at the hands extended by the maids, snorted coldly without interest, and stepped down as if walking on flat ground. Then Jiang Wen followed out, and in his ear, he heard a happy voice coming: "Immortal Master Su, you have finally arrived! I am truly honored to be able to attend the welcoming banquet that I prepared for you."
"The people of Sucheng can be said to have been longing to see Immortal Master. To see you today is truly the luck of a lifetime."
It's just that Su Mu didn't give him face, gave the old man a faint look, then nodded and walked towards the garden. The old man was not embarrassed, but followed behind him with a happy face, bending over and arching his back in a flattering posture.
"Since you are invited to go, why not go for a trip?" Jiang Wen said after thinking for a moment while looking at the invitation. "Maybe you can discover something?"
"Miss Lu, please come in," the magistrate invited.
"My surname is Lu, my name is Xueqi," Jiang Wen reported her other identity.
Jiang Wen looked at all this and couldn't help but sigh at the so-called power that moves people's hearts. Such a scene of intimidation, who in the world wouldn't like it?
The carriage arrived at the gate, and the maids who had been waiting had already rushed forward. Setting up the steps and laying out the silk to welcome the arrival of the distinguished guests.
The few people walked into the garden amidst many complex gazes. Jiang Wen had a feeling of the great emperor walking into the Winter Palace to ascend the throne. On both sides of the road were people of power and influence in Sucheng, but at this moment they could only stand on the side, watching them walk towards the garden.
"I have met Magistrate Wei. Your words are really too much," Jiang Wen said with a dumb smile.
"Miss Lu's meaning is to let me go?" Su Mu frowned, he never liked this kind of thing very much. He felt disgusted with this kind of flattering thing. It's just that Jiang Wen's words gave him some ideas, so he didn't rush to refuse.
Tables were set, and dignitaries gathered here.
The welcoming banquet of the Sucheng magistrate was set in a quiet garden. Before entering the door, one could see the streets outside full of carriages and horses, and noisy voices, all of them rich and noble families with brocade silk and jade carvings.
"It's actually Heroine Lu!" The old man was shocked, his expression becoming more and more respectful. "I have long heard of Heroine Lu's deeds, being able to eliminate a great harm for Taicang, Heroine Lu is truly a female hero! I am Wei Dongliang, the magistrate of Sucheng."
The young ladies and young masters of each family were all dressed in bright clothes and jade faces, fine silk and Luo satin, talking and laughing happily between their eyebrows. Maids and attendants beside them, with canopies like clouds, were all rich and aristocratic in their gestures.
Seeing Su Mu and their carriage coming, the guards stopped them. After checking Su Mu's identity, they respectfully invited him in, even clearing the two rows of guests, and asking everyone to stop temporarily. For a time, the young masters and young ladies of each family were shocked, and they whispered about who this person was, who actually had such a big face.
"That's right, but I found out that Wen Yanming's daughter is still alive, maybe we can get some clues from her," Su Mu nodded, then put away the files. He looked at Jiang Wen and smiled, and said softly: "I saw Miss Lu's chivalry in Taicang City that day, and I admired her very much. I didn't expect to meet her in Sucheng one day, it can be considered Su's good fortune."
Walking to the deepest part of the quiet garden, there was a winding stream and melodious singing and dancing.
"Okay," Jiang Wen agreed without hesitation.
Although Jiang Wen can redeem her now, it will inevitably startle the snake. After all, as Wen Yanming's daughter, perhaps there are many people secretly paying attention to her movements.
"Yes, maybe there will be some unexpected surprises," Jiang Wen nodded.
"Miss Lu is righteous," Su Mu sighed.
Seeing Su Mu coming, they all flattered and flattered with smiles on their faces. Some couldn't wait to stick their faces on the soles of Su Mu's feet, so as to lick this special envoy from the imperial capital comfortably.
When the time came, the two got into the prepared carriage and headed towards the banquet venue.
After Su Mu and Jiang Wen were seated, the magistrate raised his glass and toasted.
The banquet suddenly became lively, and everyone stood up to toast Su Mu.
At this moment, Jiang Wen and others became the focus of attention.
