On the way to the Clear Cloud Temple, Ling Yue and Tu Su happened to run into people from the Clear Cloud Temple, so they entered the inn next door. As soon as they sat down, they heard people discussing the matter of demons…
" What kind of demon do you think this is? How dare he commit such a crime under the feet of the Son of Heaven? He doesn't want to live anymore…"
" Shh..." The other person was careful." I heard it was King Jing, the Second Prince. You don't know about the demon he brought, right? The Second Prince has half a soul, so we found a demon that can suck souls for him to save his life..."
" This Second Prince is really cruel…"
Ling Yue looked at Tu Su. Tu Su didn't say anything. His eyes were cold as usual, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Taoist masters, did you find anything? Did He Yao not leave any clues behind?”Ling Yue asked.
An older Taoist priest answered,""After a person's soul is absorbed, they will fall into a deep sleep and won't know anything. How can we investigate anything?”
" How about this? We'll split up and investigate. If there are any clues, we'll inform each other…" Ling Yue's suggestion was approved by the Daoist priest of Qingyun Temple.
In the King Jing's mansion.
" Tu Su, you left without saying goodbye two years ago. Fortunately, Yun Rui told me that you had something to do in Heaven's Wall City and returned in a hurry..." Shao Gong saw Tu Su holding his hand, and his eyes were filled with a sincere smile as he looked at Tu Su.
" Shaogong, I have something to ask you…" Tu Su went straight to the point. He felt that he should say whatever he wanted to Shaogong. Shaogong looked at Tu Su and raised his eyebrows, asking," What is it?" Let me guess…Is it the matter of the demons in the Jiang Capital?”Shaogong saw that Tu Su was so anxious, presumably because of this matter.
" Mm…" Shaogong being so straightforward made Tu Su feel embarrassed for a moment…
At this moment, Ruqin came out of the room with medicine. Hearing their conversation, Ruqin's beautiful eyebrows furrowed together and she said unhappily,""Tu Su, you know Shaogong the best. Why did you ask him? Shaogong has been seeking medical treatment everywhere for so many years because of his poor health, but he has never had the slightest intention of harming others!”
Shaogong sighed and turned to Ruqin,""Ruqin, don't blame Tusu. The evil in this city is clearly because of me…"
"Why do you say that, Shaogong?"
"Many people know that I'm a half-soul person, and the demons in Jiang Capital are specialized in absorbing people's souls. If it wasn't for me, he could have gone to any city, why would he only come to Jiang Capital?”
" King Jing's analysis is right…" Ling Yue said.
"Tu Su is…?" Shaogong and Tu Su were so engrossed in their conversation that they forgot to introduce Ling Yue. When Shaogong asked, Tu Su hurriedly said," I forgot to introduce him. This is my Heaven's Wall City's Eldest Senior Brother, Ling Yue…"
Hello, Big Brother Ling Yue…"
" Ling Yue doesn't dare to be called big brother by the Second Prince. Just call me Ling Yue…"
"Then you can just call me Shaogong. You don't have to be polite…"
"Yes!" Ling Yue nodded. Looking at the gentle and polite Shaogong in front of him, Ling Yue suddenly thought of Ouyang Deqian.
Tu Su also remembered King Duan, whom he had met earlier. He said," Shaogong, when my senior brother and I first arrived in Jiang Du, we met King Duan's men. He invited us to stay in his residence. I think he's searching for capable people and strange lands…"
Shaogong said calmly," He has been secretly cultivating his own power since a long time ago. My sickly body can't pose any threat to him. I thought I would live peacefully until I die. I didn't expect that he still wouldn't let me go..." Shaogong's expression darkened as he spoke. Anyone who was schemed against by their own brother would feel bad...
"Shaogong means…this demon is King Duan…?”Ling Yue asked carefully.
Shaogong sighed. His expression was a little desolate." I don't have any evidence right now. I don't want to talk about it…Tu Su, please capture this soul-sucking demon this time. For the people of Jiang Du…"
" To clear your name…" Tu Su interrupted before Shaogong could finish his sentence. Shaogong smiled in relief." Tu Su understands me…"
Ruqin listened to their conversation and was furious." Shaogong, Deqian is humble and respectful in front of Father, but once he leaves Father's eyes, he immediately changes his appearance. Usually, people around him say that he is eccentric and violent. If he takes over the world, the people will probably be in deep trouble…You are full of talent, have a broad mind, and can sympathize with the people. If you can pull yourself together, it will be a blessing for the people…"
" Ruqin, don't say anymore…" Shaogong interrupted Ruqin." I'm sick and disabled. How can I care about the world?" The most important thing right now is to catch this evil demon…I met a good friend two years ago called Qian Xun. He's a forthright person and has good martial arts. He came to Jiangdu a few days before you. I wonder if he found any clues. We can go and look for him…"
"Where does he live?" Ling Yue asked.
"He lives in Man Chun Brothel. Lady Yunyi of Man Chun Brothel is his confidante…"
