"Miss, this, is this the same as what Miss Lin encountered before?" Qingbao was horrified.

Just like Lin Yanran’s life was borrowed by someone before?

Lu Zhaoling said, "They are similar, but also somewhat different. Miss Lin's case was induced into a promise and she didn't even get paid. She was more sinister. But in this case, people paid money."

She brought the three gold beans to Lord Chen and said, "That ring looks like it's worth a hundred taels, plus these three gold beans, so they're not too stingy."

Lord Chen is about to cry.

"Miss Lu, I know I was wrong, and I don't want to sell my life."

"You've already accepted the money from someone else to save his life, and you want to regret it?"

"No, I didn't take it. Can I send it back?"

"What do you think?" Lu Zhaoling wanted to roll her eyes at him.

Qingyin looked at Lord Chen, "Miss, but Lord Chen doesn't seem to have changed at all." He was just obviously frightened and his face was pale.

Before, Lin Yanran became old after her life was borrowed, but now Lord Chen is still the same as before.

Lu Zhaoling said, "Well, because the kind of life-saving that he encountered will not age slowly, but will be taken by force, so I said before that Master Chen will not survive past three o'clock tonight, because he will die suddenly."

"Miss Lu, help me!" Lord Chen howled.

"What are you arguing about?" King Jin glanced at him with disdain, "Shut up."

"Burp!" Lord Chen braked suddenly and almost got a stitch in the side.

"But this is clearly in the mountains. Even if there is a small path, few people use it anymore. Why would you throw the money here? Wouldn't it be easier for someone to pick it up if you throw it on the official road?"

The questions Qingyin asked were also what Lord Chen wanted to ask.

Isn't it unfair for him to be forced to sacrifice his life in such a place?

Lu Zhaoling looked towards Prince Jin and met his thoughtful gaze.

"Unless, this was originally aimed at people like us."

Prince Jin slowly spoke out a guess that instantly made their backs feel cold.

"That's very possible. Another possibility is that they really just want to catch one or two unlucky guys who happened to take a shortcut. However, it's more likely that they're coming for you."

"Who is so bold as to use such cruel methods when he knows we are officials and even the Prince of Jin is here!" Lord Chen was furious after being frightened.

"This won't work on him." Lu Zhaoling looked at Master Chen with a bit of sympathy. "Prince Jin is a legitimate royal bloodline. It's not something that an ordinary person can easily buy his life with this little money."

What this means is that Lord Chen’s life is easy to buy and cheap, which is totally incomparable to that of Prince Jin.

What else could Lord Chen do? He didn't dare to express any opinion.

Master Chen could only look sad and said, "Second Miss Lu, how should we deal with this? You have to save me."

He was too unlucky.

"Luckily I'm here, Lord Chen. I'm going to save your life again today." Lu Zhaoling was not polite at all. Even if he didn't pay her for the life-saving favor this time, she would still remember it.

"I will definitely keep it in mind! After returning to the city, I will set up a longevity tablet for you and burn three sticks of incense every morning and evening..."

"Get lost." Prince Jin cursed, "She's not dead. The immortality card is the immortality card. Why do we need to burn three sticks of incense every morning and evening?"

Lord Chen didn't dare to respond.

Your Majesty, you simply don't understand. This is the most solemn ceremony to remember a favor.

"There's no need for the longevity card. I got it handy this time, so I won't take any money from you, Lord Chen. Just remember this. If I'm ever in court in the future, just be a little more partial to me, Lord Chen." Lu Zhaoling said.

Isn’t this her own network of contacts?

No need to rely on King Jin.

Lord Chen immediately gave her a look that said, "I understand, I understand. I favor you. I completely favor you."

"Chen Deshan." Prince Jin suddenly called him.

"The subordinate is here!"

"Your eyes are too obscene, turn around." King Jin kicked him in the butt.

Ouch! Lord Chen stepped forward to avoid it.

What was so vulgar about his eyes? The prince didn't understand at all.

Lu Zhaoling took a pen and yellow paper, quickly drew a talisman to break the contract, and asked Master Chen to drop a drop of blood on it, and read it three times -

"I am Chen Deshan. I would not sell my life for any amount of money! I have no intention of picking up money, but I will repay you with one drop of blood and terminate this contract!"

Lu Zhaoling shook the talisman, setting the purse and hair on fire, and also threw the three golden beans and the ring into the fire.

"break."

A fishy stench wafted out, and everyone covered their noses and took two steps back.

"Miss Lu, the golden beans and the ring cannot be burned with this kind of talisman fire." Lord Chen looked at the small flame.

“I didn’t mean to burn them.”

The fire only burned the purse and the hair. In the small pile of black ashes, the three gold beans and the ring were still intact.

Lu Zhaoling glanced at Master Chen and asked, "Do you still want to take it back?"

Lord Chen waved his hands quickly, "No, no, no, I don't mean that."

“This money is not easy to take.”

Lu Zhaoling said this, motioning Qingyin to dig a hole and bury him.

"But we can't let others pick it up."

After everything was dealt with, Lu Zhaoling looked at Master Chen and nodded, "The death aura has dissipated. Master Chen, didn't you notice the amulet I gave you before?"

Lord Chen remembered it and quickly took out the amulet. When he opened it, he found that it had turned into a small pile of ashes.

"If you didn't have the amulet with you, you wouldn't have been able to wait until evening," said Lu Zhaoling.

Lord Chen hurriedly thanked him again, and then agreed to buy more talismans.

"I'll give it to you later. Go find someone. I'm going to dig something."

Lu Zhaoling chased people away.

Qinglin brought the dagger. The sheath of the dagger was inlaid with several gems. It was small and exquisite, and felt quite heavy in his hand.

She took it and gently pulled it out.

A cold frost flashed across her face, causing her to squint slightly. She felt that the dagger was so sharp that it seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.

"Try it." King Jin said. "You mark out the positions, and let Qinglin do the rest."

With her small arms, it would be very difficult to dig out the stone.

Lu Zhaoling didn't bother to be polite with him. He held the dagger and slashed hard at the middle of the stone in the tree.

There was a sharp sound, and when she looked closely, she saw that she had actually scratched a deep mark on the stone.

Looking at the dagger again, there was no damage at all.

"What a divine weapon! And it's also very exquisite!" She turned her head and looked at King Jin, "Don't you think this dagger is more suitable for a woman?"

He is tall and has slender hands. Wouldn't the dagger in his hand be like a child's toy knife?

Prince Jin glanced at her and uttered a sigh.

"You think if you say that, I will be generous enough to tell you, then I'll give it to you? It's not even dark yet, and you're forcing yourself to dream with your eyes wide open."

At least close your eyes and pretend to be asleep.

"Guess what kind of magic weapon I'm going to make with this stone?" Lu Zhaoling laughed back at him.

Just as the King of Jin was about to answer, a group of startled birds in the distant valley suddenly flew up into the sky, chirping.
