The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

"My intuition tells me that there must be something wrong with that open flame candle. The Tong family explained that the candle was lit after praying to the Dragon King at the seaside, and it can drive away ghosts and evil spirits. Do you believe it?" Mu Hanxing asked Long Jin.

Long Jin was very straightforward: "Bullshit."

Very good, it suits her taste.

Seeing Jingchen looking thoughtful, Mu Hanxing asked him again: "Jingchen, do you think this matter is very strange, or even similar to the Wuliang Pagoda?"

Jing Chen had just finished his breakfast and wiped his mouth very carefully with a handkerchief. Then he sat there with his hands tucked into his sleeves and whispered, "According to the Lord City Lord, is this a scam by the Tong family?"

Mu Hanxing raised an eyebrow: "Isn't this obvious enough?"

Jing Chen didn't analyze anything too specific for the time being, and only reminded her: "My Lord City Lord, there is a very simple mechanical device in Huajing Palace that can automatically extinguish candles. This is the earliest special device designed in the palace to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

Mu Hanxing's eyes lit up: "Is this true?"

Jing Chen nodded slowly: "Master Tong has been to Huajing before, so he probably has more experience than others. Most of the people in Huaiyu Town are old people who are unwilling to leave their hometown and have never seen many new and strange things in the world. It must be easy for Master Tong to deceive them."

At this point, she immediately had an idea. Just as they finished their meal, she told them clearly, "Have you finished your meal? I will take care of the affairs of Huaiyu Town. Will you two help? Long Jin, you have no choice but to do your part. I won't ask for your opinion. Where is Jing Chen?"

Jingchen looked at her and was silent for a while.

He had already become suspicious when Number One did not return home last night. It was only then that he realized when he went to Baishan Hall in person in the morning that he was afraid that Mu Hanxing had detained Number One. In order to prevent Number One from making a fool of himself under his disguise, he took back the spiritual power belonging to Number One. The moment he took it back, countless memories flooded into his mind, leaving him stunned for a long time.

The memory of yesterday was actually a little hard for him to digest. He didn't expect that she was knocked down by a cold flying blade from the Fuxian Terrace and landed in the sea near Huaiyu Town. She was still seriously injured and was driven out of the house by the crazy Duo San. In his memory, he saw her alone in a broken straw hut, pitifully making a simple straw pile for herself... But after a short nap, she was besieged by snake demons again...

She had been so miserable and embarrassed, but now when he saw her again, she looked confident and energetic. At this moment, Jing Chen looked at her and suddenly felt that her appearance was as bright as the morning light.

He frowned slightly, his face showing no emotion, and nodded calmly, "Since the Lord City Master is willing to take care of this matter, and I happen to have no official duties for the time being, why not accompany you... One more thing, Lord City Master, I have returned to you as scheduled, when will I get the antidote?"

Mu Hanxing slapped her forehead and said sorry, she really forgot.

She sighed, "Too many things have happened recently. I'm not the city lord anymore, so I'll just forget about this. Don't worry, the medicine I gave you and Feng Xiao to drink wasn't poison. I asked Qionghua to make a special pill for you two... a pill that will make your whole body itch. The itch will only last for a while and then it will be fine. If it's really unbearable, you can go back to Fuyue City and find Qionghua to ask her for the itch-relieving pill."

Long Jin sneered and interrupted, "This is indeed your usual trick. The water-absorbing beads I placed outside the palace are also ordinary glass beads. You will bluff all day long!"

Mu Hanxing: “…”

Almost all of her past has been exposed.

So that's how it is. Jing Chen lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.

He didn't need to go back to Fuyue City to know the general situation. Leng Feiren was probably the boss now, calling the shots. To be honest, he didn't think much of Leng Feiren. At the beginning... he just chose to cooperate with him for his own benefit...

It's just a little itchy, but he can bear it. Jing Chen has no plan to return to Fuyue City. It will be troublesome if he encounters Leng Feiren.

He thought about it carefully and said to Mu Hanxing: "For now, helping the city lord should be the top priority."

"Okay, then I plan to buy an open flame candle to see what the heck is going on with that thing, and then go to the candlesticks at the Dragon King Temple to have a look." Mu Hanxing said to the two of them, "No matter what tricks that candle has, we have to find out why open flames can drive away ghosts. I don't believe that Master Tong is really capable of that."

"Does your shoulder still hurt?" Suddenly, for no reason, Jingchen looked at her and asked again.

Mu Hanxing's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, but she quickly calmed her suddenly trembling heartstrings and said generously, "Fortunately, you gave me Xiaoyi's Baishan Hall. When he came to me yesterday, he had the remaining spiritual medicine from Baishan Hall on him. Today, he feels almost well, but... forget it, I won't hide it from you. I did injure my spiritual core and urgently need to practice. If you two want to avenge any past grudges, you can take advantage of these days."

When Long Jin heard this, he slammed the table and said angrily: "Mu Hanxing, who do you think I am? A villain who takes advantage of others' misfortune and takes advantage of their misfortune? Isn't that the same as that Master Tong!?"

This straightforward and stupid dragon had a very loud voice. As soon as he said this, Master Tong and the two beautiful ladies who were sitting not far away immediately stared at their table with their eyes wide open in disbelief...

That expression seemed to say: Who is so reckless as to dare to openly curse Master Tong in Huaiyu Town?

Mu Hanxing slapped his forehead helplessly, hey...

"Who is so arrogant as to insult Master Tong!" The guests sitting in the inn were eating quietly, but when they heard this, they slammed the table and stood up.

Mu Hanxing also wanted to laugh. The real body of the Dragon King that they had been worshipping so hard was right here, but he actually dared to yell at the real God for a Master Tong.

However, Long Jin didn't take it seriously at all. He looked at the group of people gradually approaching them and raised his eyebrows: "What? I scolded him, what can you do to me?"

"You, you, you... who are you? Why are you insulting me?" Master Tong was so angry that his face turned red, but because of his image in Huaiyu Town, he didn't dare to show too much anger in front of his face.

"Ridiculous!" Long Jinying frowned and said angrily, "I am..."

"My husband!" Mu Hanxing was startled and spoke before him. If she didn't interrupt, not only would this stupid dragon ruin her plan, but no one would believe her and she would be laughed at.

Master Tong raised his eyebrows and said, "So what if he is your husband? I have never seen this person in Huaiyu Town. He insulted me for no reason. This town does not welcome such rude and disrespectful people! Go away!"

Master Tong seemed to be guilty. His face turned red with anger as he spoke. He quickly found a reason to drive Long Jin out of the town.

Mu Hanxing was unhappy when she heard this. She raised her eyes and asked Master Tong, "Why, doesn't Huaiyu Town have a mayor? Master Tong has the final say on everything here, big or small. Can't you let outsiders stay here?"

"The mayor passed away a few days ago. Now I am in charge of all the big and small matters in the town. Why do you, an outsider, have to interfere in the affairs of our town..." Master Tong was so angry that he cursed and glanced at Yan Chen.

This guy looks quite handsome, could he be a prostitute?
