Chapter 2259: Chapter 2259: Night Visit to the Fourth Prince’s Mansion
Xuexue had an idea and asked Xiao Taohong, "Xiao Taohong, don’t you know where the evil energy comes from?"
Xiao Taohong glanced fearfully at Long Rui, then nodded and said, "Yes!"
Xuexue: "Tonight, I’ll take you to find it."
Hearing this, Long Rui asked, "Honey, what are you planning to do?"
Xuexue: "Find the source, of course. Prince, don’t you want to solve the case?"
Long Rui: "Yes."
Xuexue: "Let me tell you, the best time to solve a case is at midnight; during the day, it’s impossible to investigate anything. Prince, do you know why?"
Long Rui expressed confusion, "Why is that?"
Xuexue chuckled and said mysteriously, "Because during the day, the bad guys usually don’t dare to do bad things, because they feel guilty. So, they always choose midnight. If we go out now, we might really solve the case."
Long Rui sat up from the bed and said, "You’re right, honey. We should go outside to investigate. The old Emperor even assigned me a task, saying that if I don’t complete it in time, I’ll end up like the County Magistrate. That Dog Emperor, he really dreams big."
Xuexue was stunned for a moment: "Is there really such a thing? Why haven’t you told me about it before?"
"I didn’t want you to worry, so I didn’t tell you," Long Rui said as he had already put on his Nightwear.
"Honey, let me help you with your Nightwear," Long Rui said, holding another set of slightly smaller clothes, and walked towards Xuexue.
Xiao Taohong watched with wide eyes, while Xuexue felt a bit embarrassed, quickly snatched the clothes from Long Rui’s hands, and said coyly, "I’ll do it myself."
With that, Xuexue turned around and ran into the small adjacent room to change.
Long Rui lifted his gaze and gave Xiao Taohong a fierce glare.
Xiao Taohong felt bitter inside, quickly floated to the side, and tried to minimize her presence.
There was no other way; the mistress’s husband had martial arts that were too strong. She, a little ghost, really couldn’t afford to provoke him.
After a short while, two figures, one large and one small, were running continuously on the street.
They were Long Rui and Xuexue. Soon, they arrived at the gate of the fourth prince’s mansion. The two of them glanced at each other, then leaped over the wall.
At this Shichen, most of the lights in the mansion were extinguished.
They stood on the rooftop and saw a room with lights not far away, so the two of them walked from the rooftop directly towards that room.
Floating Melody Pavilion.
"Master, what are you saying? How could those possessed people be related to me?"
The Fourth Prince had just returned from outside when a servant told him that his Master had urgent matters to discuss. He rushed over anxiously, but to his shock, he heard a groundbreaking secret. He could hardly believe his ears. Just now, his Master told him that the large number of possessed people in the Capital were somehow related to him.
How could that be?
He had just returned from dealing with the possession incident. If the possession was caused by him, wouldn’t that be a huge irony?
Lin Kong, dressed in undergarments and looking like he was about to sleep, leaned half on the bed, lazily looking at the Fourth Prince and said, "Disciple, do you remember I told you that what you practice is Evil Cultivation?"
Fourth Prince: "I remember, but that doesn’t mean I’m the one who infected them with possession."
Finally, he muttered, "I haven’t even been in contact with these people. How could it possibly be me who infected them? It’s utterly ridiculous."
Lin Kong wasn’t anxious at all, continuing lazily, "Disciple, remember, some time ago, you killed a lot of people to practice martial arts."
The Fourth Prince nodded, "Yes, but what does that have to do with this matter?"
Lin Kong: "How is it not related? It’s hugely related."
The Fourth Prince was a bit stunned and asked, "How is that related?"
