She turned to leave.

Yu Lin raised his hand and waved it, Ran Zirou froze in place, unable to move.

No matter how much Ran Zirou struggled, it was all in vain.

She forgot that she was currently only at the Qi Refining Stage Cultivation.

Even if she has memories of her past life, she will still be constrained in many ways because her cultivation Cultivation too low in this life.

Fu Chaoqing set up a Barrier outside the private room to prevent Ran Zirou from running out, and then took Li Zi out to go shopping and buy some snacks that were only available in the Mortal World.

Li Zi was still thinking about what was going on with Zhu Liang.

Even if they left with Ran Zirou, the bully Zou Tianlu hasn't been dealt with yet.

On the way to see the lanterns, she discussed with her senior brothers, "Why don't we take Zhu Liang back to the Sect with us? What if he gets harassed again here?"

Yu Lin pondered for a moment and then shook his head. "He has no Spirit Root, so he can't cultivate and can't even enter the Mountain Gate."

Li Zi was frowning, and had no interest in even looking at the scenery.

As the group of men were boating on the lake, enjoying the breeze and drinking, a troop of soldiers suddenly appeared on the street.

Pedestrians on the road gasped and made way for them.

Immediately afterwards, a gasp of surprise came from the system.

Chapter 40 Wasn't she the laziest? How come her Cultivation has improved so quickly! (Three-in-one)

[Host! This Zhu Liang is amazing!]

Li Zi up. "[What's wrong?]"

The system reported: [Zhu Liang bribed people in the City Lord's Mansion to poison Zou Tianlu's food. Just now, Zou Tianlu suddenly died. The City Lord's Mansion is in chaos, and even the guards at the city gates have rushed over.]

Three senior brothers, "!!"

Did Zhu Liang do it?

Is this kid really that awesome?

The system flipped through the book, its electronic voice growing increasingly excited.

[Zhu Liang also shifted the blame eastward, pointing the investigation towards people from the Imperial City. Now the city lord suspects that a Prince from the Imperial City is targeting him, which is why he did this. The investigation has now reached the Seventh Prince —oh, this Seventh Prince is the one who's close to Ran Zirou.]

Li Zi scratched the back of his head.

[You mean, this was all done by Zhu Liang, who looks so innocent and easy to bully?]

[That's right! It's him!]

Li Zi exclaimed in surprise. She turned to her senior brothers and said, "Senior brothers, it seems something has happened at the City Lord's Mansion. Shall we go and take a look?"

All three senior brothers were at the Golden Core Stage Cultivation.

They wanted to conceal themselves and sneak into the City Lord's Mansion as if it were their own Garden.

Upon hearing that it was Zhu Liang who had done this, the three men became intrigued. "Let's go see what's going on!"

The three of them, along with Li Zi, entered the City Lord's Mansion silently.

The City Lord's Mansion was in complete chaos at this time.

Even from a great distance, one could hear the city lord's impotent rage.

"They're all a bunch of useless trash! Who poisoned my son? Find them! Lu'er, my Lu'er..."

The doctor's voice came from below, "My lord, this Soul-Devouring Lotus is extremely expensive. Most of the ladies in the palace like to buy it for sleeping. It cannot be taken directly, but the young master has already ingested it, and there's really nothing we can do..."

The city lord angrily smashed his teacup on the ground, yelling, "Get out! All of you, get out!"

"From the palace? I heard the Seventh Prince came to my Gaizhou City recently, and then my son got into this mess. What a coincidence! Lu'er is my only son. If it really was him, I'll risk my old life to avenge him!"

Li Zi surprise, "[Your System, could Zhu Liang have already guessed that it was this Seventh Prince who did this?]"

The system said, "[Yes, he's a really smart man. He can deduce the general idea from various clues, but he doesn't know Ran Zirou.]"

The four returned to the Small Courtyard.

Zhu Liang was already waiting in his Wheelchair.

He wasn't surprised to see the four people jump down from the roof; instead, he smiled with delight.

He was already fair-skinned and had delicate features, and now his smile made him seem even more harmless.

If the four of them hadn't already learned of Zhu Liang's wolfish nature from the system, they probably would have thought he was a bullied little rabbit.

Zhu Liang Wheelchair forward, smiling gently.

"Thank you for saving my life, senior. I have already taken care of things here, so you don't need to worry about my safety. I have also prepared some gifts for you."

Zhu Liang prepared some Medicinal Pill and spirit medicine.

Although the quality wasn't high, this was already the limit that Zhu Liang, Mortal, could achieve.

He also prepared some jewelry, snacks, and candied Candied Fruit for Li Zi.

After just one day of interaction, he already knew almost everything about the four people's preferences.

Looking at Zhu Liang's thin figure in the Wheelchair, Fu Chaoqing felt a pang of pity.

"Come, let me take your pulse."

He hadn't intended to have much contact with Zhu Liang.

After all, Zhu Liang is Fifth Junior Sister's younger brother. If it weren't for Fifth Junior Sister's introduction, they really wouldn't be able to interfere in Fifth Junior Sister's family affairs so casually.

But this child was so endearing, so smart and sensible, he liked him very much.

Li Zi's eyes sparkled as she tugged at Zhu Liang's sleeve. "Brother Zhu, my Fourth Senior Brother is a very skilled doctor. Maybe he can cure your illness."

Zhu Liang was somewhat stunned, his dark eyes darkened, and his chest heaved even more violently.

However, as if he had thought of something, he lowered his eyes, looking sad and dejected.

"My sister said that my illness requires an Earth-Rank Spirit Medicine, but she has been searching for it for many years without success."

Bao Yuanwu patted Fu Chaoqing on the shoulder and laughed, "What does she know? She's just a little girl who's focused on improving her Cultivation, and she's a Sword Cultivator at that. She doesn't understand art at all."

Fu Chaoqing pushed Zhu Liang directly into the room to examine his body.

Li Zi sat on the threshold, eating Candied Fruit while inquiring about the system's status.
