Chapter 152 I'm Afraid of Being a Flower in the Mud! First Update

  Celestial Prison

  Unlike ordinary prisons, the Heavenly Prison is a place where serious offenders are detained. Each cell is made of reinforced steel, making it extremely difficult for even a master musician to escape from here.

  "You little thief, how dare you come here!"

  Dark, damp, and gloomy, Xiao Yun stood in front of a prison cell, separated by iron bars, looking at the Wang Tianba couple inside who were shouting and scolding non-stop. The two claimed to be the Xianyun Erxian, but now they had no dignity at all, looking even more wretched than street beggars. When they saw Xiao Yun, Wang Tianba pounced on him like a wolf, pointing at Xiao Yun and cursing loudly. If not for the prison door blocking them, he would have probably come over and torn Xiao Yun apart alive.

  "What's all the commotion about?"

  The official who led Xiao Yun in directly knocked on the prison gate with the scabbard of his sword, eyes wide with anger.

  Both of them were notorious, yet they were yelled at by a small official, and the faces of Wang Tianba and his wife turned blue and purple. They were in a cage, so they could only endure it silently.

  "Xiao Gongzi, take your time, I'll wait outside!" The yamen runner bowed his hands to Xiao Yun and quickly retreated.

  Only Xiao Yun and Wang Tianba couple were left in the cell, one outside the door and one inside, the dark and humid air seemed to stagnate the flow, the atmosphere was stagnant. The Wang Tianba couple leaned on the iron bars, staring at Xiao Yun with a pair of beast-like eyes, resentment and hatred reached its peak at this moment.

  "Two of you, are you still used to living here?" A hint of playful smile flashed across Xiao Yun's mouth.

  Wang Tianba suppressed his anger, his teeth chattering with rage, "You little thief, if I'm not mistaken, you must have taken that thing, right?"

  "What's wrong?" Xiao Yun pretended to be stupid and confused.

  "Bang!"

  Du Caiying slapped the cage with a loud clang, "You little thief, stop pretending to be innocent in front of us. That thing must have been taken by you, right?"

  "What? You're not going to avenge that cripple?" Xiao Yun shrugged, which was tantamount to admitting it, and he had also come for this very reason today.

  "How dare you!"

  Wang Tianba's anger soared to new heights, and he wished he could tear open the cage and rip Xiao Yun to shreds. "What is your relationship with that man in black?"

  "Huh?" Xiao Yun was taken aback, "I was just about to ask you all, who is that man in black?"

  "Hum, pretending to be crazy!" Wang Tianba obviously didn't believe it.

  Xiao Yun Dao said, "Believe it or not, I really don't know him. Today I came to find you, just to clarify the identity of that person. Speak up, tell me everything you know, and I can let you suffer less, make them give you a quick death!"

  "If we knew, would we still ask you? We went through great difficulties to get that thing out, but it was snatched away by those black-clothed men. Who would have thought it fell into your hands? And it even led to my son's miserable death! You little thief, I, Wang Tianba, swear not to be a human being if this vengeance is not repaid!"

  "That's his own doing, serves him right! I'm not to blame!" Xiao Yun sneered coldly, feeling a bit disappointed but also relieved. These two didn't know the identity of that black-clad man either. It seemed that even if Tai Shan Zhu wanted to keep it under wraps, he would have to come clean after all. This was for the best; keeping secrets was a heavy burden.

  "You little thief! We'll haunt you even after we become ghosts!" Du Caiying shouted in a state of utter despair.

  "That also requires the opportunity to become a ghost, you two have committed many evils and will definitely go to the 18th level of hell after death, how can you come to me for revenge?" Xiao Yun sneered, these two people called him a little thief one after another, which made him extremely disgusted in his heart. "You two are really bold, even daring to steal the Tai Shan stone, it's as if you're tired of living!"

  "Do you know what that thing is?" Wang Tianba's pupils contracted.

  Xiao Yundian raised an eyebrow and sneered, "The relic of the Music Saint, to slay evil and destroy demons. You two are so wicked and demonic, can you even touch the Tai Shan stone? How ridiculous!"

  The two of them had their faces turn red like pig liver, changing again and again.

  "Wait for death at ease!" Xiao Yun threw down a sentence and turned around to walk away.

  "Little thief, aren't you afraid I'll tell everyone that you dared to move the stone on Mount Tai?"

  The sound came from behind, Xiao Yun stopped in his tracks and turned around to see Wang Tianba staring at him with a ferocious expression. It was clear that this old man wanted to use this matter to blackmail him, hoping to save his own life.

  Xiao Yun smiled calmly, "I think you've probably miscalculated. With your two personalities and identities, do you think anyone will believe what you say? Go ahead and speak out, anyway, you won't live for many more days!"

  Xiao Yun burst out laughing and strode straight out of the Heavenly Prison, leaving behind Wang Tianba and his companion, who were furious and shouting wildly in the prison.

  As for Wang Tianba's threat, Xiao Yun didn't put it in his heart at all. With the character of the two men, the words spoken before death would only be regarded as a mad dog biting randomly. Moreover, people know that Mount Tai has a Dare-to-be Stone, but few people know that there is also a main stone of Dare-to-be Stone, and even fewer people know its origin and value, just thinking it's the gathering of heaven and earth's righteous energy. Even if someone believed it to be true, they wouldn't take it seriously.

  ——

  To improve relations with Xiao Yun, under the guidance of Zhou Wentai, Zhou Mingxuan took Xiao Yun to play in Pingyang City for two days. Under the urging of the Hou Mansion, the Pingyang Prefecture government almost did not conduct a thorough trial and directly sentenced Wang Tianba's couple to be executed immediately.

  "With these two evils eliminated, the Xiao brothers can rest easy from now on!"

  Ba Wei Xuan second floor, from the east gate execution ground back, Zhou Ming Xuan then brought Xiao Yun to eat and drink here, Zhou Ming Xuan while pouring wine for Xiao Yun, on the other hand, laughed and said.

  Recalling the tragic cry of Wang Tianba and his wife before their death, Xiao Yun just smiled without saying a word. Those two were extremely evil, now that they're dead, it's as if two great evils have been eliminated.

  At three o'clock in the afternoon, the scorching sun was overhead, and the yang energy between heaven and earth was at its peak. He wasn't afraid that those two would become malevolent spirits after death and come to bother him. Although Xiao Yun had never encountered it personally, he knew that there were indeed ghostly creatures in this world, such as the Ghost Sect, which mostly consisted of cultivators who practiced ghost cultivation or controlled ghosts.

  Just now, I personally saw Wang Tianba and his wife being beheaded. Xiang Yun's stone in her heart finally fell, otherwise, being stared at by these two vicious people would always make it difficult to feel at ease. That family of three also got the punishment they deserved. Perhaps this is what they call evil has its retribution.

  "Tomorrow we'll be setting out for Longcheng, Xiao brother. Why don't I take you to the Happy Building tonight and have a good time?" Zhou Mingxuan said with a sly smile while eating and drinking, lowering his voice as he spoke to Xiao Yun.

  Coming back to her senses, Xiao Yun looked at Zhou Mingxuan with some surprise and smiled, "I didn't expect Brother Zhou to have such a hobby!"

  These two days, Xiao Yunke has heard the name "Happy Building" from Zhou Mingxuan's mouth more than once. Of course, there is also the girl of Happy Building. Without thinking much, Xiao Yun also knows what kind of place it is.

  "Men are like that, they have desires for food and sex. Besides, I'm already thirty years old, and my dad hasn't said anything about me getting married, it's suffocating!" Zhou Mingxuan laughed.

  Xiao Yun wiped the sweat and waved his hand, saying, "You'd better go on your own, I don't have that hobby. Tomorrow we'll set out, and I still need to prepare some things for the road!"

  "Things will naturally be prepared for us, Xiao brother is a seven-foot-tall man, can't you even go to the Qinglou? We're all men, I won't laugh at you!" Zhou Mingxuan still refused to give up, perhaps in his view, men in that kind of place are most likely to establish friendships.

  "What's with the dare or not, I'm afraid of being born with flowers and willows!" Xiao Yun was really crying and laughing, at first glance when he saw Zhou Mingxuan, Xiao Yun still thought this guy was serious, but didn't expect that in just two days, the spoiled nature had already been revealed.

  When Xiao Yun said this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Zhou Mingxuan's face, and he didn't say much more. "If you're not going, then don't go. Anyway, they're just some mediocre women who aren't worth looking at. However, I've heard that in Long City, there's a place called Qīng Fēng Gé where all the girls are stunning beauties. When we get to Long City, we'll have to make sure to check it out!"

  As he spoke, Zhou Mingxuan licked his lips and curiously asked Xiao Yun, "Brother Xiao, have you been to Qifu Pavilion?"

  Xiao Yun almost spat out the wine he was drinking, "Brother Zhou, can we not discuss this topic? You went to Long City to attend the princess's marriage selection, how could you go to that kind of place? If people find out, it will be a loss of face for the Marquis of Pingyang!"
