Xu Shilin's matter was actually not difficult to solve.
Perhaps it was difficult for mortals to take a single step.
But for a monster that knew magic, it was not easy.
To find evidence to rehabilitate him, it was actually just a matter of using their brains.
Mei Niang could not let go of Xu Shilin.
She insisted on returning to the capital to inquire about the situation. After seeing that her injuries were stable, Siyang brought her along.
"Has your demonic poison been removed?" On the way, Siyang remembered something.
Mei Niang's eyes flashed. In the end, she shook her head dejectedly. "It seems that it is as you said. I'm afraid that he and I are really not fated to be together in this life."
"Then what do you plan to do after this?" If Mei Niang let go of Xu Shilin, it would be a good life.
It was also a good way to survive. "If you focus on cultivating, wait until the day you attain Dao.
The heavens might be able to continue your previous fate. "
Hearing this, Mei Niang smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Even if I attain the Dao and become an immortal, I will have nothing to do with him, Wenqu Star."
The heavenly rules of the Heavenly Court were very strict.
What he said was reasonable.
Mei Niang did not want to say anything else. Siyang could not understand what she was thinking.
However, after they entered the city, they met Xiaoqing.
When she saw Mei Niang and Siyang together, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"I was looking for you everywhere. It's good that you're fine." As Xiaoqing spoke, she also glanced at Lord Goblin who was following beside Siyang. She wanted to ask, but Mei Niang excitedly began to ask about Xu Shilin's situation when she saw her.
"Shilin was unwilling to come out of the prison with me." Speaking of this, Xiaoqing sighed. "That child was stubborn.
Why do we have to prove his innocence in broad daylight? "
Siyang understood. "He needed the top scholar's body to save your sister from Leifeng Pagoda." It could be considered filial piety.
Xiaoqing raised her eyebrows. "That Liang Lian, for the sake of the grudge of the previous generation,
To implicate Shilin.
He really is a villain. "
"But don't worry.
Tonight, I'm going to sneak into Liang Lian's mansion to find evidence of his crimes. When the time comes, we can save Shi Lin. "Xiaoqing was full of confidence.
Mei Niang was also a little relieved, but she still wanted to see Xu Shilin very much. Seeing her infatuation, Xiaoqing promised to take her to see Xu Shilin.
"Literati Star is in quite a turmoil this time." After they left, Lord Goblin, who had been in the background the whole time, spoke. He was very dissatisfied with Siyang's interference in this matter.
Siyang snorted. "If you're impatient, you can go back first. I won't see you off."
So the Lord Goblin shut his mouth.
The two of them had also been to Lin 'an when they were traveling in the mortal world. The mortal world's capital was naturally very prosperous. Now that Xiaoqing and the others were at Xu Shilin's place, Siyang didn't care. Instead, she was interested and pulled Lord Goblin around to play.
"I feel like I'm forgetting something." During the play, Siyang suddenly touched her chin and frowned.
Before she could think, the person beside her grabbed her hand and pulled her over. Her attention was diverted in an instant.
In Lin 'an City, Bi Lian and Baoshan, who had come with Si Yang, were searching everywhere for Xu Shilin's whereabouts. However, they were unfamiliar with the place and people, and with Liang Lian's interference, they ran into obstacles everywhere. They were dejected and could not get in touch with Si Yang. They looked pitiful.
However, after being thwarted twice, they had a fortuitous encounter. Qi Baoshan was a big blockhead who came from a poor family. Other than his martial arts skills, he didn't have any other strong points. Of course, he was honest and liked to fight for justice. It was a very good virtue.
When Siyang finally remembered Bi Lian and Baoshan, two days had passed. During these two days, Xiaoqing and Mei Niang had been busy working for Xu Shilin. They had also found evidence that Liang Lian had framed Xu Shilin. Of course, they also found evidence of his many years as an official. They were waiting for Xu Shilin to expose it during the joint trial and deal a heavy blow to Liang Lian.
After seeing Bi Lian and Baoshan again, what surprised Siyang even more was …
"Why are you here?" Siyang looked at the familiar slovenly figure and the big axe on his back. The corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.
In contrast to Siyang's surprise, Lord Goblin's gloomy aura was about to roll over when he saw Shi 'er. It was only after Shi' er sensed that something was wrong and quickly held his hand tightly to calm him down.
Shi 'er was also stunned. He looked at the two of them and happily ran over. "It's really fate that brought us together."
Siyang looked at his ignorant smile and felt anxious for his intelligence. No wonder Yan Chixia wanted to beat him up as soon as he saw him. It was really hard for him to be his master.
"Heh … I'm sure we'll meet again."
Siyang felt her scalp go numb when she heard the cold laughter of the person beside her. She vaguely remembered that she had said that to annoy him last time. She really did remember it clearly.
Shi 'er looked at Lord Goblin and straightened his face. "I didn't expect you to come out of the Netherworld, Demon King."
"It's not up to you to decide where Wang is going." Lord Goblin sneered.
Even Shi`er, who was slow to realize, realized that he seemed to have been … disliked by this person. Alright, he did not like this gloomy fellow either. However, he did not understand how Si Yang had hooked up with him. Previously, in the Underground Netherworld, his master was there. Moreover, under those circumstances, it was not appropriate for him to ask too much.
"How would I dare …" Shi 'er laughed dryly. He stepped forward and whispered to Siyang, "Tell me, what's going on between you two? You weren't forced by him, were you?" He still remembered the oath Siyang had sworn to protect herself more than ten years ago.
Siyang felt that the big hand she was holding was about to break free. She quickly tightened her grip. At the same time, she felt helpless against Shi 'er, who wasn't afraid of death and didn't know what to do.
The corner of Si Yang's mouth twitched. She lifted her foot and stomped down hard on Shi 'er's foot. She pointed her chin at Bi Lian and Bi Lian, and said in an annoyed tone, "You'd better tell me how you guys met, and why did you come to the city? Has Nie Xiaoqian's soul been released? "
Shi 'er grimaced in pain. He hugged his leg and wanted to scream, but when he looked up and saw the handsome man's gloomy eyes, he swallowed whatever words he wanted to say and honestly told them the whole story.
The story started from the day when Shi 'er and Yan Chixia brought Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian back to the human world.
According to their plan, after bringing Nie Xiaoqian's soul back to the human world, they would let Yan Chixia release her soul. However, when they returned, they realized that Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian were only fated to be together in this life.
To be exact, the two of them were fated to be together in two lifetimes.
In their previous life, Cui Hung-chien and Mochou were still in love with each other. It wasn't easy for them to survive until this life. They could have continued their relationship, but who knew that the old locust tree spirit would come out of nowhere. The reincarnated Mochou and Nie Xiaoqian in this life would become a ghost again. Once again, they would have a tragic relationship.
However, if Nie Xiaoqian was reincarnated, this relationship would be broken.
"Later, I saw that they were so miserable, so I asked my master to think of a solution."
Siyang raised his eyebrows. "What's the solution?" Judging from the situation, it should have been successful.
"Nie Xiaoqian's life was not over yet. In the end, we found a woman who had just died not long ago to be her body. She could return to the human world and continue to be with Ning Caichen."
"It seems that Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian are both in Lin 'an City."
Shi 'er sighed and nodded, "Ning Caichen participated in the imperial examinations this time, but who knew that he would be involved in a cheating case. He was even arrested. I was trying to think of a way to save him when I met those two. The little girl said that her brother was also involved in the cheating case."
Well, it was really a case of all kinds of random things being involved together.
Seeing that their conversation had come to an end, Bilian and Shi 'er took two steps forward.
"Miss Cai Yin knows my master." Baoshan scratched his head and smiled.
Master???
Hearing this, Siyang looked at Shi 'er suspiciously.
Shi 'er grinned and patted Baoshan on the shoulder. "I think this boy is a little stupid, but he is quite talented. I taught him a few moves, so we can be considered master and disciple."
Lord Goblin glanced coldly at this new master and disciple, feeling very disgusted.
Si Yang had already sensed his impatience. She was afraid that she had really angered this narrow-minded person, so she brought the three of them to look for Xiaoqing and Mei Niang. In any case, they were all here for the same thing, so it just so happened that they could communicate with each other.
At night, Xiaoqing and the others discussed that they would reveal the truth at the joint trial tomorrow. After saying goodbye to each other, they went back to their rooms to rest. They temporarily stayed in an inn in Lin 'an.
Siyang didn't sleep. At Lord Goblin's level, it didn't matter if he didn't rest.
The two of them sat on the roof. Siyang leaned comfortably on his shoulder and played with his fingers. Neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was quiet, but there was a faint warmth lingering during this period.
After a long while, Si Yang moved her body and changed her position. The man who was leaning against her took the opportunity to pull her closer into his embrace. She heard his deep voice say, "Don't worry.
He said in a low voice, "After this is over, follow Wang to the Underworld."
Siyang tilted her head and looked at him. "What's the matter?"
The Demon King lowered his head and looked at him deeply. "Invite the Ten Kings of Hell to come and find a wife."
This was the first time that the Kings of Hell were invited to find a wife. Didn't he feel unlucky? Well, the focus was a little wrong. Siyang sat up straight, but her hand was still holding his arm. She said with a faint smile, "I didn't agree to marry you."
The Demon King's eyes darkened again. He raised his hand and pinched her smooth and tender face. He sneered eerily. "Who else do you want to marry other than me?"
"Ouch." Siyang covered her face and cried out in pain. She retaliated without hesitation and pinched his waist hard.
The Demon King's mouth twitched. He grabbed her hand and said, "Have you forgotten how you made an oath to me back then? You have delayed it for so long. It's time for you to fulfill your promise."
Hearing such accusation, Si Yang felt a little guilty. She secretly reflected on herself all these years. It seemed that she had indeed relied on the fact that people were silent and did not show any mercy when bullying them.
"Hmm?" Seeing that she didn't respond, the Demon King became nervous and angry. He wondered if the problem lay with Shi 'er. Perhaps it would be less troublesome if he killed him.
Siyang sighed in her heart. She didn't tease him and leaned into his arms softly. "Since it was an oath, I will naturally fulfill it. I will serve you for thousands of years."
His long arm wrapped around her slender waist and his chin rubbed against her hair. Finally, the Lord Goblin planted a kiss on her soft hair with a satisfied expression.
With the help of Xiaoqing, Mei Niang, and Shi 'er, the next day's joint trial was as expected. As soon as the evidence was presented, the emperor was furious. He didn't expect that his softheartedness would cause Liang Lian to go from bad to worse. He even meddled in the imperial examination, which was very important to the imperial court, just for his own personal grudge.
The evidence was conclusive. Liang Lian couldn't argue and was arrested on the spot. Xu Shilin and a group of students who were implicated in the cheating case were also released, including the unlucky Ning Caichen.
