Back then, she had merely said something about Shanghai Laner, and she was trampled from the sky to the ground. She was banished to a newbie in Blue Cloud Pavilion. If the incident at the Half Moon Lake at the back of the mountain was exposed, she would be dismembered by Xu Lingchong's men!
"Why? Is there something you don't want to tell me, Lady Murong? " Kang Zhaoming was a sharp thinker. One look at Murong Zhen's face and he knew that there was more to it than meets the eye. If it was someone else, they wouldn't have known who Miss Shangguan was, but Murong Zhen was from Chongtian Pavilion. There was no way he didn't know.
Murong Zhen was shocked. She quickly forced a smile and tried to smooth things over. "You misunderstood me, Officer Kang. I was just trying to recall if I've seen something like this before."
"Oh? Does Miss Murong remember anything? "Kang Zhaoming continued to greedily size up the woman's alluring body as he asked calmly.
"To tell you the truth, Steward Kang, I just remembered something. Back then, when I was taking part in the spiritual beast assessment at the back of the mountain, I happened to see Lady Shangguan appearing at the back of the mountain out of nowhere. She was alone too. She was attacked by the spiritual beast at that time, but Lin Yi showed up and saved her," Murong Zhen said half-truthfully.
This was the most beneficial thing for her. Not only could she remove herself from the matter, but she could also use the ambiguous relationship between Lin Yi and Shanghai Laner to add fuel to the fire between Xu Lingchong and Lin Yi. No matter which one of them was at a disadvantage, it would not be a bad thing for her.
Apart from that, she could also curry favor with Kang Ming Ming by revealing this matter. After all, Meng Jueguang was dead. Facing Lin Yi, who was getting more powerful by the day, she could not fight him alone. She had to find external help as soon as possible, and Kang Ming Ming was the perfect candidate.
Firstly, although Kang Zhaoming's strength wasn't strong, he had Xu Lingchong as his backer. Furthermore, he was an alchemist. His purpose wasn't to charge and break through enemy lines, so he didn't need to place too much emphasis on strength.
Moreover, there was a blood feud between him and Lin Yi in the secular world. The enemy of the enemy was a natural ally.
In Murong Zhen's eyes, if she made good use of Kang Ming Ming, her role would not be any less than that of Meng Jueguang. Not only could she use him to deal with Lin Yi, but if the opportunity was right, she could even use him to climb up to Xu Lingchong again. That would be the day she could make a name for herself!
"Lin Yi saved Lady Shangguan's life? Heh, this guy is so lucky? "Kang Ming Ming was shocked and he could not help but feel envious.
To be able to save Miss Shangguan's life was a blessing that couldn't be reaped even in a few lifetimes. If he used such a huge favor well, he would be able to achieve meteoric success in the future. Why didn't he, Kang Zhaoming, have such a good opportunity?
"That's right. I heard people say that Lady Shangguan hated Lin Yi. Now that she has such an opportunity, he might be able to turn over a new leaf and become a phoenix." Murong Zhen added fuel to the fire.
"Him? Fly up the branches and transform into a phoenix? Dream on! " Kang Ming Ming was so angry that he gritted his teeth. However, he would not be fooled so easily. He asked in confusion, "Since Lady Murong happened to be there, why didn't you help him? It's better to do Lady Shangguan a favor than to let Lin Yi have all the glory, right?"
Murong Zhen paused for a while, then she pretended to be weak and said, "I am no match for Lin Yi. If I showed up at that time, I'm afraid he would kill me."
"I see." Kang Ming Ming looked at her suspiciously, but he did not continue to ask. This answer was enough to give Xu Lingchong an explanation. Next, it was his own business.
It depended on whether Murong Zhen was sensible. If she was sensible, she would come to him obediently, and there would be nothing to say. Otherwise, when Kang Ming Ming reported, he would naturally add oil to the fire and let Murong Zhen appear at the scene to see how she would die.
It had to be said that Kang Ming Ming was quite a sinister person. He thought of a way to threaten Murong Zhen in an instant.
However, before Kang Zhaoming could speak, Murong Zhen tactfully took the initiative and said, "It's already dark. If Deacon Kang doesn't mind, why don't you stay in my wooden house for the night?"
Kang Ming Ming's eyes suddenly lit up. He rubbed his hands eagerly, but he pretended to be reserved and said, "Lady Murong, we are a man and a woman alone. Is this … appropriate?"
"What's wrong with that? It's my honor that Deacon Kang is willing to do me this favor!" Murong Zhen said with her charming eyes. She stretched her hands to her waist and slowly untied her belt.
Murong Zhen knew very well that with her strength at the peak of the early stage of the Building Foundation Realm, she could only intimidate ordinary newcomers. Her body was her biggest asset. Just like how she won over Meng Jueguang, if she wanted to hook up with Kang Ming Ming, going to bed with him was not only unavoidable, but it was also the most important first step.
Only when it was on the bed, men were most likely to relax and let down their guard. When the pillow wind blew, any request would be easy. That was the so-called "lust makes one lose his mind."
Leaving aside the fact that Kang Ming Ming and Murong Zhen were in cahoots, after a night of pleasure, a letter was finally sent to Xu Lingchong's hands.
"I see." Xu Lingchong read it carefully and he finally understood.
Young Master Xu had chased after Shangguan Laner for so many years, so he knew this young lady's temperament like the back of his hand. Although she had the temperament of a young lady, she was a person who would repay favors.
If Lin Yi really did save her life, then no matter how much she hated Lin Yi, she would definitely help him if he needed her help at a critical moment. This could explain why she went to the Law Enforcement Hall to help Lin Yi out of trouble.
However, although he thought this way, Young Master Xu was still a little worried. What was Shangguan Lan 'er's attitude towards Lin Yi? He had to ask her face to face.
After all, the common scene of a hero saving a damsel in distress was too common. Even if the young lady didn't like the poor guy at first, it was not impossible for her to change her attitude and fall in love with the poor guy after he saved her life. Xu Lingchong had to be careful.
"Well …" Faced with Xu Linchong's question, Shangguan Lan 'er tilted her head, and suddenly said with a smile, "As you said, I don't want to owe him a favor, so I naturally have to help him."
"Is there anything else?" Xu Lingchong asked.
