She was too engrossed in chatting to notice what was beneath her feet. Cui Yan was walking by the lake when she stepped on a small stone and fell into the lake. “Miss cui,” Little Zhou jumped down without thinking. He carried her out of the water, and their clothes were already wet. Hearing the commotion, the maidservant ran up with an anxious look on her face.”Miss, young master Zhou, are you alright?” Cui Yan shook her head and said,”I’m fine! I accidentally slipped just now. Fortunately, young master Zhou saved me. ” “But your clothes are all wet. You’ll catch a cold if you continue like this.” “I’ll do it. ” Little Zhou said. As he held Cui Yan’s small hand, the latter became nervous and subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand. Xiao Zhou explained,”don’t misunderstand. I used my spiritual power to evaporate the water vapor.” There was a different feeling in his heart. The girls of the drunken immortal court had held hands so many times, but they had never felt their hearts beat so fast like this. He used his spiritual power to evaporate the water on her body and his own clothes. “Thank you!” Cui Yan thanked him. “I’m fine. ” Little Zhou said. He looked at the sky and saw that two hours had passed. “Miss, we should go back,” the maidservant said at an appropriate time. “Argh! Are you leaving already?” Little Zhou panicked. The servant girl rolled her eyes at him.”This is only our first meeting. What else do you want?” Xiao Zhou touched the back of her head awkwardly.”I was being rude. Let me send you guys!” The maidservant glanced at her young lady. Seeing that she did not refuse, she nodded.”Sure.” The three of them were about to go back. A group of bailiffs ran over, led by Lao Bai. He stood in front of the three of them, his eyes fixed on Cui Yan. Seeing that Xiao Zhou was also there, Lao Bai was stunned.”Why are you here?” Xiao Zhou was also stunned.”I’m on a blind date. What are you guys doing?” “Surround the two of them.” Lao Bai ordered. He pulled Xiao Zhou to the side and said in a low voice,”are you on a blind date with her?” “What happened?” Little Zhou asked. “Her father stood on the wrong side. As his people fell, old debts were dug up. In order to sit in the position of the county Magistrate, he secretly bribed someone with ten thousand taels. This matter was dug up and now it has been taken down. We’re here to arrest them and put them in prison for strict interrogation. ” Lao Bai explained. “T-this ...” Little Zhou hesitated. Lao Bai patted his shoulder to comfort him and said sympathetically,””I can understand what you’ve been through, but since things have come to this, it’s better to end this relationship before it starts.” “Is there no other way?” Little Zhou was unwilling to accept this. Lao Bai said after a moment of silence. “His father’s case can’t be reopened, but they can still deal with it. Take advantage of the fact that the higher-ups haven’t convicted them, quickly find someone to get them out. ” “Thank you!” Little Zhou was grateful. The two of them returned. “What are you guys doing?” Cui Yan couldn’t help but ask. “I’ve been ordered by the county Magistrate to take you down. You’ll naturally know the rest when you arrive at the Yamen. ” Lao Bai said with a straight face. For the sake of Xiao Zhou, he did not tie them up with chains. Instead, he made a gesture of invitation.”Please!” Cui Yan looked at Xiao Zhou and hesitated. Xiao Zhou seemed to have guessed what she wanted to say.”Lao Bai is my brother. He will not make things difficult for you.” Cui Yan nodded in relief. He waited for them to leave. Xiao Zhou was anxious. He thought for a long time, but he couldn’t think of any useful ideas. He circulated the heavenly Yin ghostly movement technique to the maximum and rushed toward the divine sword guards. When he arrived at the divine sword guards, he found Shen Yiming and told him about the matter. Shen Yiming stared at him intently. His gaze seemed to be able to see through him. Xiao Zhou panicked.”Why are you looking at me like that, my Lord?” “On my first blind date, I met a female ghost. This is your second blind date, and your blind date ended up in jail. Can’t you be a little more normal?” Shen Yiming said. Xiao Zhou was worried to death.”Sir, please don’t make fun of me. How can you blame me for this?” “I’m not familiar with the magistrate of the Nancheng County government. However, wasn’t bai Zhanyu an express Constable? With his help, Cui Yan and the others would not suffer for a while. However, this matter has to be quickly fished out as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the higher-ups convict them, it will be harder to fish them out than to ascend to the heavens. ” Shen Yiming said. “Sir, quickly think of a way!” Little Zhou urged. “Your father is so rich and has been in business for so many years, but he doesn’t know any of the officials in the court?” Xiao Zhou touched the back of his head.”I’m not sure.” “Like this! We’ll act separately. You go back and ask. I’ll go to Nancheng County government office now. Even if I’m not familiar with the county Magistrate, Cui Yan and the others won’t be punished before they are convicted. ” Shen Yiming said. “Yes.” Little Zhou replied. They split up. Xiao Zhou rushed home and asked his father for help. Shen Yiming went to Nancheng County’s government office. They waited for four hours. It was almost noon when Shen Lu returned with many bags. “Roar!” Xiao Wu roared in dissatisfaction. “This is a dog? It’s so pretty. ” Shen Lu’s eyes lit up. He rushed up and was about to touch its head. Xiao Wu dodged, baring her teeth at her, flames appearing in her mouth, as long as she dared to rush up, she would set her on fire. “Eh? It’s a spirit beast. ” Shen Lu was surprised. Xiao ran rolled his eyes at her.”Are you planning to let us have breakfast and lunch together?” Shen Lu chuckled, her chest trembling.
