Chapter 247: Satin Lotus Surface Italian Mulberry
Xiaobai was caught in a dilemma for a moment. He didn't know how to make a decision. He just frowned and bit his nails - this was his habit when he was alive, and even after becoming a resentful demon, he still couldn't change it.
Lingxiang did not rush her, as she knew very well the dangers of this method. For Xiaobai, who only had one chance, she really needed to think carefully before doing this.
But how could Lingxiang know that Xiaobai was afraid of these things. This method could help Lingxiang escape from the path of falling into the devil, which he wanted very much, but he couldn't let go of the affection in his heart, but he couldn't tell anyone.
Xiaobai then realized that the loss of Ajin was more than just a friend.
In the past when they were in the Yuanqing Sect, the two of them could still drink and chat with each other from time to time, but now he is the only one left, and there is no one to confide his worries to anymore.
This friend is really disloyal!
Just at this moment, Xinyi turned in from the Moon Gate. He glanced at Lingxiang but did not speak.
It's strange to say, although Lingxiang and Xinyi are just friends, they often have an inexplicable tacit understanding with each other.
"Xiao Bai is not an outsider, there is no need to hide it."
Xinyi nodded when she heard this, and then told him about the wolf head.
It turns out that Xinyi has been trained by the demon clan since she was a child. Although she was taught individually by Yinhuan at the beginning, she still had a group of people who could be called fellow disciples.
Later one year another person was sent here. He was seriously injured and was thought to be dying, but he miraculously survived.
After his injury healed, he also practiced with those people. But in just two years, that person went from being a mortal with no cultivation to being a demon general with profound cultivation.
"So, he has fallen into the devil's way?" Ling Xiang was puzzled. Otherwise, how could a dying person suddenly get better? And how could he have such a high level of cultivation in just two years?
But Xinyi shook her head and said firmly: "He is a human."
"Is it a human?!" Lingxiang stood up in shock.
How strong a willpower must one have to escape from a near-death situation, and how much perseverance must one have to become a general of the demon clan in just two years, and with a mortal body?
The demon general’s cultivation is not shallow!
Moreover, that person was able to restrain Xinyi, Liu Xia and Zhao Wuyang with his own strength, and was also able to dodge the talismans secretly placed by Banxia, which shows how high his cultivation level is.
It seems that this person should not be underestimated!
"Since you have practiced with him, do you know his name, his appearance, and his origins?" Lingxiang always felt that things were not that simple.
But Xinyi shook her head again: "He seldom talks to people, so there is no way to know his origins. Bai Wuchang only calls him Wolf Head, but never mentions his name, so everyone follows suit. And that person always covers his face with a black scarf, so only his eyebrows and eyes can be seen, but no one has ever seen his full appearance. But I accidentally saw the wound on his face, so I recognized him."
Lingxiang had forgotten that Xinyi knew nothing about physiognomy. But after hearing what Xinyi said, she became more certain of her thoughts - something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary!
How could a mortal be in the eyes of the demons? Since that person could appear with Bai Wuchang, there must be something unknown.
Bai Wuchang is a shrewd man. He must be planning something before allowing a mortal to be by his side.
This is indeed a matter that we must guard against!
Lingxiang looked back at the room behind her: the demons have been making frequent moves recently, so she would have to discuss things with Senior Brother Chengxin after he comes out of confinement.
"correct!"
While Lingxiang was thinking, Xinyi suddenly remembered Liu Xia's reaction outside Fufeng County, and quickly said, "At that time, a purse fell from the wolf's head, and Liu Xia seemed to recognize it."
Purse? "Purse!" Xiaobai suddenly remembered something when he heard it, and hurriedly took out a purse from his arms, "Is it similar to this one?"
The purse in Xiaobai's hand had a moon-white fold, and the string was dark green, like a thin leaf passing through it. On the gamboge body of the purse, a mulberry branch was embroidered, with green leaves and light fruits, which was very beautiful. Lingxiang took the purse and turned it over. On the back, there was a word embroidered with mulberry silk thread.
The character looked very graceful, it was the character “桑” (mulberry).
The purse looks plain, but the fabric is special and feels like...
"Silk?" Lingxiang was unsure.
Although he was mumbling softly, the yard was small and the three of them were not far away, so they could hear it clearly.
Lingxiang had been immersed in pharmacology since she was a child, so she had no idea about needlework and weaving. She only knew that there was such a thing, but she had never studied it in depth. It was not an exaggeration to say that she knew nothing about it. In her opinion, linen was the most comfortable to wear, and since she had been taking care of spiritual plants all year round, linen was the cheapest.
Xiaobai laughed out loud, but Lingxiang glanced at him, and he quickly clenched his fist to his mouth and pretended to cough twice to cover it up, but it was difficult to hide the smile in his eyes. He just tried to hold back his hands and stepped forward, saying seriously:
"This is plain soft twill satin, often used by girls to make clothes." He pointed at the pattern on the purse and said, "Look at this pattern, it's much more complicated than silk."
But just as he finished speaking, Lingxiang teased, "Oh~ Lord Bai is very clear about these girls' affairs. I guess he has been hanging out in the red-light district for many years!"
Xiaobai naturally understood Lingxiang's teasing words, he just chuckled, took out a fan from somewhere, acted like a modest gentleman, and said humble words like "It's just so-so, no problem".
"Satin? Not everyone can afford it," Xinyi took the purse from Lingxiang, and after seeing the word "桑" (mulberry) on the back of the purse, she said, "It is indeed similar to the purse in Liu Xia's hand, but the word embroidered on that purse seems to be "兰" (orchid)."
兰？
Lingxiang suddenly understood something, and she quickly asked Xiaobai: "Is this purse Miss Liu's?"
Xiaobai nodded when he heard that.
It turned out that Xiaobai's conversation with Liu Lan relieved his resentment, and the two of them confided in each other. At that time, Liu Lan was in love, and when she heard that Xiaobai wanted to travel, she asked him for help by giving him a purse.
And this purse is the token of love between the eldest daughter of the Liu family and her lover, each of them holding one.
"No wonder Liu Xia helped Miss Liu to deceive Governor Liu. I guess he knew the inside story." Lingxiang suddenly realized.
Xinyi didn't know the details, so he concealed it when Liu Xia asked him. Besides, since it was about the demon clan, he didn't want Liu Xia to get involved too much, so as not to put him in danger. But now it seems that he can't get away.
I don’t know whether this is a coincidence or an intentional arrangement by Bai Wuchang.
Xinyi was a little worried, and at this moment, she saw Zhao Wuyang coming towards her in a panic.
"Brother Liu Xia is missing. He only left a letter in the house. Sister Ban Xia is not in the house either!"
Hearing this, Lingxiang looked at Xinyi and said, "I'm afraid he has gone back to the governor's mansion in Cangzhou to look for Miss Liu."
Xinyi nodded, understood, turned around and left the yard.
After Xinyi left, Lingxiang hurriedly comforted Zhao Wuyang: "This is Cangzhou. I think Liu Xia wants to go home to see her. She will be fine. You should wait here for Taoist Chi Yanzi and Senior Brother Han Yang, so that you won't be lost when they meet up."
"But..." Zhao Wuyang was about to speak when Xiaobai left with Lingxiang, leaving him alone holding the letter in his hand.
