"What are you talking about, I don't have ......."

Jiang Yao didn't expect this to happen, and hurriedly tried to explain, but the drunk man didn't give up, and he didn't mean to let go at all.

"And said no! just now...... I saw you stuffing something in your pocket!"

"No, that's ......"

"Hand over the money......! Lao Tzu will send you to the police station!" Before Jiang Yao finished speaking, the drunk man began to shout loudly with Jiang Yao, and for a while, many pedestrians stopped and began to talk nonsense.

"Ouch, what's going on? There's a thief?"

"Alas~ Is that young man a thief? people look decent, how can they do such a thing?"

……

The turmoil in the downtown soon attracted the attention of more passers-by, and the onlookers gathered more and more, which also made Jiang Yao feel more and more embarrassed.

"You're really mistaken, I really didn't take your money......"

Jiang Yao explained, while trying to break free of the man's hand, and this action seemed to anger the drunk man even more, I saw that he stared at each other, and then he was about to wave the wine bottle in his hand and smash it on Jiang Yao's head, but as soon as he raised his hand, he was suddenly firmly grasped by a hand like an iron tong, and he couldn't move at all.

"Hey, you thief and accomplice!" the drunkard looked up and looked viciously at the red-haired man who was holding his wrist, and scolded, but the latter didn't bother to respond half a word, only a little more strength in his hand.

"......Uhh Pain and pain...... My hands are about to break!!" the drunk wailed, finally letting go of his grip on the bottle. only heard the sound of "pound", the wine bottle fell to the ground and fell apart, and Jiang Yao finally took this opportunity to break free from the drunkard's "claws".

"Ignore him, let's go. Gluttony glanced at the drunkard who kept howling, finally let go of his hand, and then beckoned Jiang Yao to prepare to leave, and the drunk man was unwilling to give up after suffering a big loss, only to hear him immediately turn to the crowd of onlookers, and began to shout:

"Come and see, these two guys stole my money and want to run!Catch them for me!!"

"Ugh...... Is it really a thief? It's so rampant!"

"Why don't we call the police......

There are more and more people watching the excitement, and things seem to be getting bigger and bigger, but at this moment, I heard a cold female voice suddenly come from the side:

"Even if you really want to catch it, you will be caught touching porcelain. ”

"Click...... Click......

The crunch of high heels echoed above the street tiles, and a tall figure slowly appeared in the crowd. This is a young woman with delicate facial features and a cold temperament, her posture under the high-end suit is tall and beautiful, and her beautiful phoenix eyes seem to imply a certain coldness and disdain; although she is a beauty, she exudes an iceberg aura of "don't approach the living", and as soon as she opened her mouth, it made the originally arrogant drunk shudder.

"You...... Who do you say touches porcelain! You try it again!?"

The drunken man came back to his senses, and immediately stretched out his hand to point at the tip of the woman's nose, pretending to hit someone, like a bluffing wild dog, while the woman was not in a hurry, but glanced up at the top of her eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Hmph, since you want to make trouble, don't find a place where you don't have monitoring, you just took pictures of all those ugly things. The woman snorted coldly, and Qianqianyu's fingers brushed the short hair next to her ear, and then pointed somewhere above. "When the police come to investigate, it will be clear who touched the porcelain at a glance. ”

"Monitoring? No, it can't be! This piece is obviously ...... without a monitoring probe" As soon as he heard that there was monitoring, the drunk's eyes suddenly seemed to be awake for a moment, and he quickly looked up, but soon he realized something, and stopped abruptly halfway through his words, turning his head and glaring at the woman in front of him.

"Stinky, dare to scold me!"

"Hehe, it seems that you are very afraid of surveillance, and you have even checked whether there is a probe in this area in advance. The corners of the woman's mouth hooked, and the contempt in her eyes was about to overflow.

"But it's a pity, who made you choose to make trouble on the road, the previous ones, the recorder in my car has been filmed, what, do you want to go to the police station to confront each other? ”

The woman said, turning slightly sideways, only to see a white luxury car parked in the parking space not far behind her, which seemed to be blocked by the crowd of onlookers around her. And when the drunk man saw the car, his face suddenly became ugly, and the drunken demeanor that he had looked drunk before disappeared, and even his shaking body was much more stable.

"Stinky...... Be nosy! See if Lao Tzu doesn't teach you a lesson!" A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the "drunkard", and he suddenly strode towards the woman in anger, and Jiang Yao, who saw that the situation was not good, hurriedly stepped forward to stop the other party, but saw that the person's body suddenly trembled, and with a gust of breeze, the person stopped in front of the woman, and could not take half a step.

"Oh? are you going to ...... How can you 'teach' me?" The woman raised her head slightly, looking down at the inky eyes of the "drunkard", there was a kind of chilling pressure, just one glance, the arrogant momentum of the "drunkard" was like a deflated ball, with the last psychological defense, completely collapsed.

"You...... You wait for me, don't let me see you next time!"

The "drunk" scolded, but the instinct to survive had caused him to start smearing oil on the soles of his feet, and soon the man slipped into the crowd as if he had fled, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"It turned out to be a porcelain ......."

"It's not good-looking, it's scattered......

The farce ended, and the onlookers finally dispersed, and Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and looked at the woman who helped her gratefully.

"Just now...... Thank you so much!"

Jiang Yao stepped forward and was about to thank the woman, but when he saw that the other party didn't even look at him, he turned around and gestured to an old man in a suit and leather shoes not far behind him, and said:

"Uncle Yun, the one who is in the way has gone, you can drive the car out. ”

"Yes, Miss. ”

The old man known as "Uncle Yun" bowed slightly, then walked to the parking space in the back, and after a while, he drove the white luxury car to the woman's side.

"What time does the next meeting begin?" asked the old man, opening the car door and sitting in.

"Half an hour later, it should be too late now. The old man replied gently.

"You have to arrive ten minutes early, this is basic etiquette, please try to drive as fast as possible. The woman said and pulled on her seat belt, and when she looked up, she saw Jiang Yao still in front of the car, with an embarrassed expression on her face that she was not being accosted.

"Hey, you. ”

The woman rolled down the window, and seemed to be finally willing to take care of Jiang Yao.

"Ah...... You called me?" Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded.

"You're in the way. The woman's eyes were full of impatience. "Excuse me, I'm in a hurry. ”

"Yes, I'm sorry......"

Jiang Yao's face turned red and he quickly got out of the way. The old man in the cab politely thanked Jiang Yao, and then moved his gaze to the gluttony beside Jiang Yao, and after bowing his head slightly, he started the car and drove away.

"That person, his aura is so strong...... Who is she?" Jiang Yao looked at the white luxury car in the distance, and it seemed that he had not recovered from his previous surprise.

"Hehe, I don't know who it is, I only know that the porcelain toucher has just passed away from the ghost gate. Gluttony glanced at the back of the luxury car, and seemed to have something to say. "Let's go, we have to go back and prepare, and leave for Weiyang tomorrow morning. ”

"Hmm......" Jiang Yao took a deep breath and put the previous turmoil behind for the time being, because he had more important things to investigate at this time.

"Is it a 'corpse case'...... It seems that we can only find out for ourselves. ”

----------------------------------------

When Jiang Yao and Tao Tao drove up to the land of Weiyang, it was already the night of the next day. After more than ten hours of tiring travel, the tiredness on Jiang Yao's face at this time was difficult to hide.

"How long will it take for us to arrive?" Jiang Yao looked at the note with the address in his hand, and turned his head to look at the gluttony in the driver's seat next to him.

"Soon, that place is in the ancient city of Weiyang, and it only takes about half an hour to go here. Gluttony replied casually, but he didn't look half tired while driving, and his spirit seemed to be very good.

"Hey...... Is it because my qi is broken? I always feel very tired lately......" Jiang Yao looked at the mountain road outside the car window and sighed faintly. "It seems that we still have to get the 'Continuation Pulse Grass' as soon as possible to recover our mana. ”

"You...... Do you really want to recover your mana so much?" Tao Tao glanced at Jiang Yao from the reflector and said. "I remember when you wanted me to take away the mana that was instilled in you, isn't that what you were expecting?"

"At this time and that time, after going through so many things, how could I stay out of the matter of the 'Soul Suppression Stone'?" Jiang Yao shook his head and said.

"Finding out the 'Soul Suppression Stone' is not only what Hades asked me to do, but also my own oath to myself, I couldn't save Xiao Yuan at the beginning, but I at least ...... to save his soul. So even if I don't participate in the 'Ghost Market' this time, and I have to fight against the mastermind behind the 'Soul Stone', I have to get my mana back. ”

"......" sighed silently, his eyes focused on the approaching night ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

"All in all, I can't let go of this opportunity, as for the Lingyutai......" Jiang Yao hesitated, and the expression on his face became a little subtle.

"You also know the situation in my body, although I may be able to find a way to recover my mana by turning to Lingyutai, but I'm afraid that they will find something they shouldn't find in the process, and with their usual style, I don't think they will help me ...... in vain."

Thinking of Lingyutai, Jiang Yao's mood suddenly became a little complicated. He didn't deny that Lu Jingyi had helped him before, including Qing Yu and Mu Jianyun, who were also partners who had lived and died together, but he also knew that "there is no free lunch in the world", and his "colorless attribute" physique would inevitably be coveted by the top and bottom of the Spirit Imperial Platform. The other party even recruited his friend Zhou Wentao as a supernumerary member of Lingyutai in order to contain him, which is called "protection", the actual purpose is self-evident, and this is precisely where Jiang Yao has a grudge against Lingyutai.

"Don't worry, although I was entrusted by Lu Jingyi to protect you, I didn't plan to report to them, and they seem to be busy with something recently, so I don't have time to keep an eye on you. Gluttony shrugged indifferently, as if he was too lazy to speak.

"Yes, that's good......" Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief. "By the way, after meeting the client this time, can't you let them know your identity?"

"You know my situation, it may be difficult for them to find out who I am, and I will hide my demonic spirit at that time, as long as you don't say anything. ”

"Okay, I got it. Jiang Yao nodded and looked out the window again.

The fading sunset quietly pulls down the night, and the long mountain road seems to be coming to an end. And in the last rays of sunset that were about to disappear, Jiang Yao suddenly found a huge ancient city surrounded by mountains and rivers, leaning out of the mountains and quietly jumping into his eyes.

The ancient horse-head walls are lined up one after another, and the stilted buildings are built around the river with all kinds of ancient buildings with cornices and corners, which are ancient and poetic in the misty waves, and such beautiful scenery even makes Jiang Yao forget his tiredness for a while, and the spirit of the whole person is also immediately lifted.

"It's finally here?" Jiang Yao leaned on the window, his tired eyes lit up slightly.

"That's it...... Weiyang Ancient City!"
