“Miss!”
A man in a constable’s uniform walked in and looked at Lu Sheng in surprise.
Lu Sheng recognized him. He was the constable she had met on the street previously.
“Constable Jia, what happened?”
Xiao Liu, who regained his senses, asked with a frown.
Constable Jia looked at Lu Sheng suspiciously before explaining to the matriarch.
“Oh, I’m here on orders to inform Matriarch Pei that there are demons in the capital recently. They can transform into another person’s appearance, so Matriarch has to be careful.”
Everyone’s gaze landed on Lu Sheng again.
“Sister, thank you for saving us again!”
Pei Fei walked forward and bowed to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng smiled and said, “Young Master, you don’t have to thank me. It’s my duty to subdue evil.”
“Again?”
Constable Jia and Xiao Liu looked at Pei Fei at the same time.
He explained, “I got lost in Huang Yang Town with Grandmother and almost fainted from hunger. This sister gave us buns to eat.
“Also, just now, two demons that turned into Uncle and Aunt came to the room. This sister helped us kill the demons.”
As for the part where Lu Sheng kept the souls, they did not know what she was doing.
“I see!”
Xiao Liu stepped forward and bowed. “Thank you for saving us, Miss. If the General knows, he would definitely thank you very much.”
“The General?”
Lu Sheng looked at Constable Jia suspiciously.
Constable Jia hurried forward and explained, “This is the General’s Mansion. General Pei is stationed outside the Great Wall all year round and rarely comes back.”
“I see!”
Lu Sheng nodded slightly and was about to speak to the matriarch when she closed her eyes and fainted.
“Grandmother!”
“Matriarch, Matriarch!”
A nanny who had been standing behind Matriarch Pei hurried to support her.
Lu Sheng went forward and checked on her. Then, she said calmly, “Matriarch Pei is fine. She was just shocked. Let her rest well immediately.”
When everyone heard that, they hurried to help Matriarch Pei back to rest.
Pei Fei looked at the matriarch, then at Lu Sheng. “Can Sister stay?”
Although he was bold, he was still very afraid when that demon appeared.
“No more demons will come here.”
Lu Sheng patted his head and smiled. “Sister still has to protect more people, so I won’t stay.”
Pei Fei frowned slightly. “But we haven’t thanked Sister for saving our lives yet.”
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry.”
Lu Sheng pursed her lips and smiled. “Sister will leave now.”
As she spoke, she nodded at Xiao Liu and Constable Jia before striding away.
“That lady just now…”
Xiao Liu looked at Constable Jia and felt puzzled.
Constable Jia said, “She saved us in town previously. I only know that she is a colleague of Lord Chu.”
“Lord Chu?” Xiao Liu was surprised. “From Lin Jiang Mansion?”
Constable Jia nodded. “Yes, it’s him.”
Xiao Liu noted it down and sent Constable Jia and the rest out.
When Lu Sheng came out, she wandered around the vicinity before leaving.
The Illusory Demons could smell their companions. Now that two Illusory Demons had died here, they would definitely not come here so easily again.
After Lu Sheng left, she entered another path.
Perhaps because they had already received the notice from the officials, the doors in this area were all closed and there was no sound in the room.
Afraid that something would happen, Lu Sheng went in to take a look. However, she realized that everyone was fine. They were just hiding in their rooms.
After she came out, she had just turned a corner when a red shadow suddenly dashed towards her.
