Chapter 331 Evaluation
Lyu Liang was even not aware how he got out of that affiliated agency. Somebody seemed to have stopped him and said something, but he was so overwhelmed by disappointment, and directly pushed that person away. Then, after a few instantaneous flashes, he was gone from that place.
Later, when he recovered his senses again, he was already inside the Qingling Pavilion once again. Beautiful music came into his ears. The girl who had played the pipa before, was playing the Guqin now, and it sounded incredibly amazing.
“Son of a bitch!” Lyu Liang finally could not control himself and cursed, while he thumped his leg with his fist.
He was depressed, or rather, sad and depressed. It was not that his will to be an alien minister was frustrated. He remembered that Ancestor Xuanli and lots of other people had been fighting for thousands of years with the Calamity Troops at the front, while the peaceful home front was controlled by such kind of snobs! And according to what they said at the end, Monk Tianhuang was actually the brother of God Ancestor Night Dragon…
Monk Tianhuang was the one who was only ranked behind the leader in the Chaotic Heavenly Alliance, but he was so mean and ugly. Compared to him, those soldiers who were fighting desperately at the front… When Lyu Liang thought about that, he just could not stay calm, even though he did have a stable Taoist Heart.
Coincidentally, the music that the girl was playing, also became more and more passionate, as if it was tuned to Lyu Liang’s feelings. Lyu Liang just grew angrier when he thought about those people in the affiliated agency, and even found it hard to breathe.
“Pang!” A huge sound could be heard. And then a desk was smashed, while the music flowing through the entire hall, also stopped suddenly. A sturdy man with whiskers said loudly, “Damn it! The soft music before was good! Why did you suddenly change it into such a passionate one. My daughter was woken up by it!”
“Wa!” The minute the man finished, a little girl who had been leaning on him, cried correspondingly. At the same time, she opened her tearful eyes and said, “I don’t want to listen. I don’t want to listen! Father, let’s go home!”
“Okay! Okay! We will go home!” The sturdy man was no longer brutal and spoke lovingly to his daughter. Then he stood up, put his daughter on his shoulder, and walked down the stairs quickly. As he was about to leave, he even threw several upper-grade Primordial Stones to the servants standing hesitantly on the landing, and said, “The money is for the desk. Just keep the change!”
“Dude, catch up with him!” White said calmly. At that moment, Lyu Liang had already been fully awakened by that sturdy man, so he nodded and stood up to run after him.
“Her Heart Shift is very good!” When Lyu Liang was out of the Qingling Pavilion, White said deeply, “If it were not for that big man, you would probably have been trapped there! “You should have felt that when she was using her excellent skills to play the pipa or Guqin with such a perfect tone, she also blended the music with the Heart Shift, which is similar to the soul sound.”
“What? Is she also another enemy of mine?” Lyu Liang narrowed his eyes. Although he’d just asked, he was really unwilling to believe that.
“No. I can only say that this is quite an odd coincidence.” White was trying to use the right words. Apparently, he also did not have a bad impression of the young girl. “Her songs are okay. It’s just she played when you were in a bad mood. Before you got there, she had already started to play that song. Surely, that is no coincidence beyond any reason in this world. It will do you no harm if you stay alert.”
After hearing White’s words, Lyu Liang felt much better. He pulled himself together and hurried to keep up with the big man.
The big man and the little girl lived far away from the Qingling Pavilion, and they did not walk so quickly. After more than one hour, they finally entered a medium-sized building named “Treasure Pavilion”.
“They are merchants?” Lyu Liang stood at the door. After pondering for a while, he directly pushed the door open and entered.
“Well, sir, welcome! The treasures in our Treasure Pavilion are all genuine and are reasonably priced. We don’t cheat children and old people. Besides, each object is a top quality article that is rare in the world…” Once he passed through the door, a servant bowing humbly walked to him and directly dragged him inside.
Lyu Liang was puzzled at that, but then he got it and just followed the servant happily to a wing-room on the second floor.
After the servant left, Lyu Liang bowed to the big man and the little girl respectfully and said, “Thanks for your help before. If I kept on listening, I might have been hurt inside. What’s more, I guess this little Fairy here should be the boss, right?”
Just after Lyu Liang entered the Treasure Pavilion, the token of the Demons Valley inside his body started to shine brightly with a golden light. Therefore, he knew that the Treasure Pavilion was one of the intelligence agencies that the Demons Valley had in the outside world!
“Haha. Now you are clear-headed and very sensitive!” The little girl chuckled. Then she shook her finger and said, “I just helped you inadvertently. That girl in the Qingling Pavilion was here one month ago. I also like her songs, so every now and then, I will go there and listen to her play. When I saw that there seemed to be something wrong with you, and felt there was something weird about the situation, I let Ah Niu do that. Oh, by the way, did you get shut out by the affiliated agency here?”
Lyu Liang laughed bitterly about that. He shook his head and said, “I just feel sorry for those soldiers, who have risked their lives to fight the Calamity Troops and protect their country. However, those authorities on the home front… Ah!”
“Since you’ve seen what kind of people they truly are, I’ll tell you something even more surprising about them.” The little girl smiled. “You’ve only seen part of it. With the exception of a limited number of people in the Heavenly Alliance, who are still honest and refuse to soil their hands, the rest of them in this affiliated agency, as well as in that part of the Heavenly Alliance, have all become the stooges of God Ancestor Night Dragon earlier! How about that? Do you feel bad about it? Do you still want to get involved in this? To be honest, you have been chased by a bunch of people yourself. If you also want to reach your goal, there would be more dangers waiting for you…”
“Thanks for your reminder, Taoism peer. I feel bad about it, but I can’t just quit right now!” After taking a deep breath, Lyu Liang continued, with his eyes shining brightly, “I’m only feeling sorry for the soldiers at the front! But right now, I’m not alone anymore, and have my own forces. And you guys from the Demons Valley are also willing to be my supporters. When it comes to the power, I can proudly say that I’m not inferior to anyone! Before coming to this place, I’ve already determined to be hostile to the entire Pan Gu Heaven Realm. If the Chaotic Heaven Realm also become my enemies, it’s fine with me. Since they chose to be allies with the Pan Gu Heaven Realm and do bad things together, I’ll seek justice for this place in my way!”
“Yeah! That’s inspiring, man!” Ah Niu directly exclaimed. He held Lyu Liang’s shoulders at once and said, with his eyes shining brightly, “What you said is really amazing! If you are going to fight them, be sure to let me know. I’ll go with you!”
“Haha, the Ancestors are indeed right about you!” The little girl’s eyes were also shining sharply and she said, “So I’m going to tell you a plan, which you may be interested in!”
“I’m all ears!” Lyu Liang was surprised and answered her with delight. The Demons Valley had been running the Treasure Pavilion in that place for long, so their advice was definitely better than his own ideas, which were just based on imagination.
“For now, do not use your own forces. And it’s also not the time for our Demons Valley to come out, as right now we still could not find out the real power of God Ancestor Night Dragon. It seems that they are already a match for us, just with the power they appear to have.” The little girl said solemnly, “Actually, there is no need to be pessimistic. If the authorities in both parts of the Heavenly Alliance are all snobs, it’s impossible for such a peaceful condition to exist in the Heavenly Alliance.”
“I get it… You mean, I should go to the other affiliated agency to apply for that position?” Lyu Liang understood her meaning. There must be real upright heroes like his Ancestor Xuanli in the Heavenly Alliance.
“There are rumors that you can enter the zone of influence of the affiliated agency, only after you get a qualification there. In fact, there is also an unwritten rule that you can go there, even without the approval of the affiliated agency!” The little girl smiled mysteriously and said, “Are you confident about your capability? Like when you face 10 guys with a cultivation of Early-stage Tao Ancestor, can you handle them?”
“Well?” Lyu Liang hesitated and did not know how to answer her. Then he rolled his eyes and said confidently, “If there are only 10 cultivators at the level of Early-stage Tao Ancestor, I think I can handle them!”
“Then you can try. Go directly to the affiliated agency and break the ancient Bounded Domain by force!” The little girl nodded and said, “It’s said that there are array souls as powerful as the Tao Ancestor, guarding the Bounded Domain. If you are confident enough, that’s a good choice. And I believe, once you go through it, you will be definitely allowed to be an alien minister there. “That’s because there are three Great Elders in the affiliated agency, who were promoted from the Demon Realm below. Although they are at peace with everybody in their daily lives, I believe they will do their best to help you when you get there.”
“Oh, you mean those three seniors!” Lyu Liang’s eyes brightened. He immediately remembered Demon Emperor Green Dragon, Demon Emperor Rosefinch and Saber-toothed Master. The three powerful figures were exactly the Great Elders in the Chaotic Heaven Realm.
Lyu Liang felt vigorous again, as there was no pressure in his heart anymore. Just as he was about to say something more, a stream of creepy space fluctuation struck him. The scenes around him, including the little girl and Ah Niu, were starting to become distorted.
“Bastard! You dare to play dirty in a place owned by the Demons Valley!” A golden light burst forth from the little girl’s body, and she hurriedly said to Lyu Liang, “It’s the Skill of Space Shift! You’re being transmitted…”
That was the last words Lyu Liang heard. The next second, everything in front of him was blurred. Although he had not totally passed out, he could clearly feel that he was drifting…
…
At the same time, an old woman inside a hidden chamber in the Fresh Wind Country cried out in panic, “Miss! How are you doing?”
The person opposite her was the young girl who had played the songs in the Qingling Pavilion. At that moment, her veil had been put aside, and her most beautiful face was revealed.
“I’m fine. Although I’ve consumed some Primordial Divine and my cultivation has dropped, it doesn’t matter, as this is the last time ,no matter what. Aunt Zhao, go ahead. They are just cooperators now.” Although there was blood at the corners of her mouth and on her yellow palace clothes, and her aura was also weakened, she looked more excited at that moment.
“But…” The old woman felt it was hard to decide what to do. She wanted to leave, but she was still worried about the young girl and said, “You’ve been so badly injured, miss. If I just go away, in case…”
“I’ll be fine. I’m just a girl playing music. Who would notice me?” The young girl smiled softly, not making a big deal about her injuries. She waved her hand and said, “Go away. I have exerted my Skill of Space Shift to the extreme. And you cooperate with the two old men of the Guangling Clan. I just hope nothing will go wrong. By the way, remember, if the two old men of the Guangling Clan don’t take this seriously, you also don’t have to fight that desperately with him!”
“You’ve never failed in planning, miss! So, we will also succeed this time!” The old woman seemed to have made up her mind, and said while saluting her with cupped fists, “I’ll go then, miss!” When she finished, her body shifted and she disappeared.
“Cough, cough, cough!” The young girl vomited blood again, but her eyes were shining brightly. She smiled and murmured, “Lyu Liang… Let me see what kind of relationship we can have, friends or enemies? If we can be friends, is it worth that we entrust you with the future of the Wen Clan?”
