Chapter 37: Am I, the Holy Saint of Demon Sect, that kind of person?

On the main street of the Royal City, Luo Wusheng smiled as he sheathed his short sword.

After chatting with Lu Yuliu, he felt much more relaxed.

However, this incident also made him feel a sense of urgency.

He had thought that coming to the Royal City and building a good relationship with Little Yuli and her future harem would be enough to ensure his safety.

But now, it seemed that the Buddhist Sect was likely not going to let him go so easily.

It looked like he needed to speed up his plans.

'Now it seems that increasing the Empress's favorability towards me has become a must-do.'

The Empress was not only a member of Little Yuli's harem, but also a powerful cultivator in the Nascent Soul realm. She also held two important identities as the Empress of the Immortal Nation and the Chief Disciple of the Taoist Sect.

By befriending the Empress, he would also be befriending Little Yuli, the Immortal Nation, and the Taoist Sect all at once.

It's killing three birds using one stone!

If the Buddhist Sect wanted to make a move on him again, they would have to consider the power of these three factions.

It would be even better if he could make them feel that he was too troublesome to deal with and give up on him altogether.

'Although I can sense that there's something strange about Yao Ji, I can't confirm whether she's the mortal incarnation of the Empress or not— In that case, meeting the Empress in person is the only way for me to confirm her identity.'

If that Yao Ji was indeed the Empress, then he would have also increased his favorability with her by a significant amount.

It's not a problem, I have my own means to meet the Empress in the palace.

'As long as I can shock the entire Royal City by creating that thing, I don't believe the Empress can resist seeing me.'

Touching the short sword at his waist, Luo Wusheng completely changed his mindset.

"But the main character's intuition is really terrifying. Clearly, I should still be the one who stays away from women like the old me, but she still guessed that I came to the brothel."

Truly worthy of being the main character.

Her intuition is Terrifying!

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and diverted the attention of the sword fairy with even more surprising information.

Just then, his expression suddenly stiffened.

Using his spiritual awareness, he felt a familiar presence was approaching him.

The Demon Sect Holy Maiden, Bai Xiaoyao.

Luo Wusheng's mouth twitched.

Why is it like this? This is my first time coming to this kind of place. Why do all sorts of people all come rushing in to ruin my image?

It's one thing to make random guesses like Little Yuli, but shouldn't my Junior Sister be resting in the mansion I just bought? She couldn't have just taken a walk over here, right?

Something's not right.

After all, the Red Blossom Pavilion is placed quite a long distance away from the Demon Artifact Pavilion, which is half the size of the entire Royal City!

No, I can't panic. I can't ruin my image by losing my composure.

With this in mind, he quickly moved his thoughts and his face quickly became calm and without any waves.

......

Bai Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief when she sensed her Senior Brother's presence.

It seems that nothing unexpected happened to her Senior Brother.

But why did he change into white clothes?

In her eyes, Luo Wusheng in white clothes with a sword was not at all out of place and had a special aura that was different from his usual self.

It looked really good.

But now is not the time to admire these things.

Bai Xiaoyao threw her strange thoughts to the corner of her mind, careful of a possible ambush from the mastermind behind the scenes, and approached her Senior Brother with cautious steps.

"Senior Brother Wusheng?"

She called out gently from a distance, trying to determine her Senior Brother's current state.

"Junior Sister? What are you doing here?"

Luo Wusheng looked puzzled, his slightly gloomy expression easing a little.

"I received some information that Senior Brother was at the Red Blossom Pavilion, and I was worried, so I came to take a look. And Senior Brother, what about you? Why are you here?"

Hearing Bai Xiaoyao's response, Luo Wusheng was taken aback.

'Damn, who's trying to frame me today!'

Despite his careful movements, someone managed to keep tabs on him and even specifically told Bai Xiaoyao about it?

But he didn't show his thoughts on his face, instead he frowned and shook his head.

"It seems he discovered I was tailing him long ago..."

After muttering to himself, Luo Wusheng said to Bai Xiaoyao, "I received some information and came here to catch the tail of a rat— um, that was one of my goals for coming to the capital this time."

Bai Xiaoyao nodded thoughtfully.

"So Senior Brother came here under the guise of going to the Red Blossom Pavilion, bringing those officers with you? To avoid arousing suspicion?"

Luo Wusheng grunted in agreement and exclaimed, "I didn't expect that guy to discover me and secretly call you to try to outmaneuver me."

"Are you sure you didn't really want to go to the Red Blossom Pavilion, Senior Brother?"

Although Bai Xiaoyao had believed most of what Luo Wusheng said, she still looked at her Senior Brother with some suspicion.

"You little brat, you're making fun of your Senior Brother. Am I that kind of person? As the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, how could I willingly go to a place like that?"

Luo Wusheng spoke with conviction and righteousness, his face not showing any signs of guilt.

Bai Xiaoyao believed him.

Because what he said was consistent with what she had thought, and she didn't think her dense-as-a-rock Senior Brother was that kind of person.

Luo Wusheng's former image played a huge role at this moment.

"But who is the target that Senior Brother is after? And what benefit does it have for me to come here?"

Bai Xiaoyao fell into deep thought.

Luo Wusheng secretly rolled his eyes.

"I also want to know the answer to this question," Luo Wusheng said.

Who exactly wants to ruin their own image?

Thinking about this, Luo Wusheng pretended to ponder and said, "I can guess his purpose more or less, but this matter doesn't need to concern you. It involves too much party and conspiracy, and knowing too much would do you more harm than good."

Well, those who understand, understand. He couldn't do anything about those who didn't.

Upon hearing her Senior Brother's words, Bai Xiaoyao was clearly displeased, but she still nodded.

"So, will Senior Brother come back here in the future to pursue the clues of that person?"

"If there are still clues of him here..."

Luo Wusheng weighed his words and answered.

He still needed to come here frequently to maintain a good relationship with Yao Ji. Otherwise, all his previous efforts would have been in vain.

However, seeing the dissatisfaction on Bai Xiaoyao's face increase, Luo Wusheng immediately added, "Of course, I will still focus on the Demon Artifact Pavilion in the next few days, and I probably won't have the chance to deal with that guy again."

Observing the relaxation on Bai Xiaoyao's face, Luo Wusheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to neglect one thing and lose another. That Yao Ji's music was indeed quite nice, and he was a bit reluctant to give it up.

Well, let's focus on working hard to meet the real Empress in the near future.

As Luo Wusheng was thinking about this, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his hand.

Upon looking down, he realized that Bai Xiaoyao was holding his hand.

"Since there's no progress today, Senior Brother doesn't need to worry too much. Let's go back with Xiaoyao first," the soft and gentle voice of Bai Xiaoyao made his heart tingle, and he instinctively nodded.

So, the first time the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, Luo Wusheng, went to the brothel, he did nothing but listen to music and was dragged back to his newly bought home by his own Junior Sister.
