#359 - Must gain his loyalty!
Liang Jin wholeheartedly wanted Yu Linglong to fully enjoy the exhilarating pleasure of showing off and slapping faces, so he really stirred things up quite a bit.
However, since he was the one who initiated this matter, the responsibility of cleaning up the mess naturally fell on him.
Yu Linglong nodded slightly, signaling Liang Jin to return quickly.
After receiving the order, Liang Jin immediately returned to Azurewave City.
As soon as he arrived in the city, he quickly gathered all the Dragon Transformation Sect disciples who had participated in the evening's events and solemnly gave them some serious instructions.
Seeing Liang Jin so serious, everyone knew that this matter was no small matter, and they all made solemn oaths never to divulge it.
After all, none of them dared to easily provoke Liang Jin.
Moreover, many people still held onto the handles that had fallen into Liang Jin's hands back in the Tide Sound Martial Pavilion, which made them even more unwilling to provoke this Surveillance Envoy who patrolled on behalf of the heavens.
Especially in everyone's hearts, they secretly speculated that Liang Jin was simply bringing his sister, whom he cherished like a forbidden object, to the city for fun, just to please the beauty.
Liang Jin naturally didn't want outsiders to know about this kind of private matter.
If anyone was so ignorant as to spread it, Liang Jin would definitely fly into a rage and become hostile.
And in everyone's opinion, this matter only involved Liang Jin's personal morality, and even if it were exposed, it would not cause any substantial harm to Liang Jin, and they would not gain any benefit from it.
Everyone was not a fool, so naturally, they would not offend Liang Jin on such a matter.
After Liang Jin finished explaining all of this, he quickly rushed back to the seaside without stopping.
He and Yu Linglong successfully found the giant snake, and then both jumped onto its back and embarked on their journey home.
At this time, the moon in the sky had already begun to slowly fall towards the west, and the stars in the sky were no longer as bright and dazzling as before.
As the giant snake went deeper into the sea, the surroundings were once again shrouded in darkness and silence.
The giant snake was like a fish in water in the sea, moving extremely fast, and the wind wrapped in huge waves constantly rushed towards them.
Yu Linglong, however, stood leisurely on the snake's back, looking like she hadn't had enough.
Suddenly, she opened her mouth and shouted loudly.
"Ah—!"
This shout had no specific content; it was purely a venting of inner emotions.
She had suppressed her emotions for too long, and today they were finally released.
She had finally witnessed the world outside the island, a world far more rich and colorful than she had imagined in her dreams.
She had read countless books, heard countless stories, and had secretly fantasized countless times about what a wonderful life she would begin if she could one day leave Dragon Transformation Island.
Tonight, she had finally personally stepped into a real city, witnessed the earthly atmosphere of a street in the city, seen all kinds of people, and seen all kinds of dazzling goods.
All these novel feelings were so beautiful and intoxicating to her.
Yu Linglong was cheering and shouting.
She was celebrating the wonderful experience of her first time leaving the island, cheering for all the beautiful things she had encountered tonight, and shouting for this brief and precious free time.
Liang Jin sat steadily on the giant snake's back, looking at Yu Linglong, who was standing in front and shouting non-stop, his heart full of satisfaction and joy.
Yu Linglong's venting of her emotions so thoroughly was enough to show that she was very satisfied with his careful arrangements for tonight.
He understood that after secretly doing such a "bad thing" with the leader, he could truly become the leader's confidant.
In this way, his future in the Dragon Transformation Sect would definitely be bright!
Yu Linglong turned her head and looked at Liang Jin, with a smile in her eyes, and said:
"Xiongba, you did a really good job!"
"I've decided that I'll take you with me next time I come out to play!"
Liang Jin quickly thanked her repeatedly, but he secretly despised her in his heart.
If it weren't for his guidance, Yu Linglong would probably not dare to secretly sneak out to play so openly.
And you say you'll take me?
Clearly, I'm the one taking you out to see the world, okay!
Yu Linglong exclaimed with great interest:
"It's a pity that we didn't even finish strolling down one street today."
"Next time I come, I must go to those shops and take a good look, whether it's the inns, pawnshops, silk shops, or restaurants, I want to see all the places!"
"But I heard that most shops don't open for business at night."
"Xiongba, you have to plan the itinerary well, and I'll leave the arrangements entirely up to you."
Liang Jin naturally agreed readily:
"Sect Master, please rest assured, just give your disciple a little time."
"Your disciple guarantees that when the Sect Master steps into Azurewave City again next time, you will definitely have a happy and enjoyable time!"
To make those shops open for business at night was indeed just a small matter for Liang Jin.
Of course, Liang Jin was also planning in his heart to incorporate some more interesting and fun content into it.
At least it had to be a novel experience that had never been seen on Dragon Transformation Island.
A strong look of anticipation instantly appeared in Yu Linglong's eyes.
Suddenly, she took out all the big and small packages of goods she had bought today and began to slowly admire them.
However, every time she finished admiring one item, she would throw it directly into the sea without hesitation.
Seeing this, Liang Jin couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"Sect Master, why is this?"
Yu Linglong responded while throwing:
"If these things are taken back to the palace, it will be troublesome if they are discovered."
After hearing this, Liang Jin roughly understood the reason.
He couldn't help but recall in his previous life that his leader lived in a spacious villa, and although there were many rooms, he had to hire two maids to clean and tidy every corner every day.
But in this way, privacy was easily violated.
Helplessly, the leader had to purchase a safe, and anything he didn't want others to see had to be stuffed into the safe.
Moreover, even in Yu Linglong's environment, even like the Emperor's palace, it still needed maids and eunuchs to clean and tidy it up.
And those maids and eunuchs who served by the Emperor's side often had the background of other forces behind them.
Let's talk about a major imperial examination cheating case that happened in the Great Qian Dynasty.
At that time, the palace examination was approaching, and the emperor was preparing to set the questions himself.
One day, after the emperor read a few books in the imperial study, he gained inspiration for the questions.
The emperor thought that the questions he set this time would be quite difficult, and the candidates would definitely be overwhelmed.
But who would have thought that during the palace examination the next day, the emperor was shocked to find that most of the two hundred candidates participating in the palace examination could easily answer the questions.
The emperor immediately felt that something was wrong and immediately sent people to investigate.
The investigation revealed that the problem lay with the eunuch who served the emperor when he was reading in the imperial study the day before.
The eunuch recorded all the books the emperor had read and then leaked them out.
The candidates who received the news stayed up all night studying these books, so they were able to cope with ease during the palace examination.
From this, it can be seen that even the people around the emperor may betray him, let alone others.
It's no wonder Yu Linglong acts so cautiously.
Liang Jin immediately said:
"Sect Master, what's so difficult about this?"
"You only need to hand these things over to your disciple, and your disciple will take them back to the Surveillance Hall and set up a special showroom to display these items."
"If someone discovers them, your disciple will say that he bought them himself."
"If the Sect Master wants to view and play with these things in the future, you only need to come and take a look under the pretext of inspecting surveillance work."
When Yu Linglong heard this, the movements in her hands suddenly stopped.
After carefully considering what Liang Jin said, it really made sense!
She looked at Liang Jin and said in a deep voice:
"These are all the first items I bought in my life, and each of them is of great significance to me."
Liang Jin quickly nodded in agreement.
He knew that most girls have this kind of mentality of cherishing meaningful items, so he could completely understand this.
Yu Linglong continued, but said angrily:
"But why did you only come up with such a good idea now? It made me throw away so much!"
"I don't care, you go to the sea and get them all back for me!"
Liang Jin couldn't help but be stunned, he really didn't expect Yu Linglong to turn her face so quickly.
However, it was absolutely impossible for him to jump into the water to retrieve things.
Liang Jin immediately said:
"Sect Master, calm down! The hour of Mao is almost here, and we can't delay at all at this moment."
"Otherwise, if we go back late, the possibility of exposing our whereabouts will greatly increase."
When Yu Linglong heard this, although she felt it was a pity, she also agreed with Liang Jin's statement.
She turned her head and continued to stare ahead.
On the distant horizon, a silhouette had already faintly appeared.
She knew in her heart that this meant Dragon Transformation Island was almost here.
However, as soon as she thought of returning to Dragon Transformation Island, a cloud of gloom instantly surged into her heart.
The books all say that people are happy when they return home.
But Yu Linglong didn't understand why she was full of rejection and disgust in her heart when she was about to return home.
She hadn't had enough fun outside tonight, and there were still many places she hadn't set foot in.
But on her body, it seemed as if there was an invisible line connected to this Dragon Transformation Island, and this line was pulling her hard, dragging her from the land back to this island.
But she was powerless to cut off this line.
Or rather...she didn't dare.
Yu Linglong turned her head and looked at Liang Jin.
Fortunately, there is this traitor by my side!
He won't be like other people, blindly maintaining this line that binds her.
He dares to do things that no one in the Dragon Transformation Sect dares to do, and can take her to a wider world.
Yu Linglong knew that she must protect this person.
If she lost him, her life would probably return to the boring and monotonous days of the past.
Especially important is to keep this person always loyal and never betray her.
And if you want to win his loyalty, you have to reward him well.
As for how to reward him, Yu Linglong still needs to think carefully.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Linglong turned her gaze to this giant snake.
She gently patted the giant snake's head and said softly:
"Thank you, Divine Dragon."
If it weren't for this giant snake, it would be difficult for her to travel between Dragon Transformation Island and the mainland so conveniently and quickly.
As a dignified first-grade divine beast, it is willing to be used as a transportation tool.
Yu Linglong felt somewhat ashamed of this.
The giant snake seemed to feel Yu Linglong's kindness and swam even harder.
Obviously, it did not regard the matter of carrying people back and forth as a humble and unbearable job.
Soon.
Dragon Transformation Island was close at hand.
Relying on Liang Jin and Yu Linglong's superb lightness skills, no one could detect their landing on the island under the cover of night.
Especially at this time, the giant snake was also about to return to its nest.
With the commotion caused by the giant snake's return to its nest as cover, Liang Jin and Yu Linglong quietly returned to their respective residences.
Everything went very smoothly.
Unknowingly, the sky slowly brightened.
The faint light of dawn, like a soft veil, slowly spread over Dragon Transformation Island, giving this mysterious island a layer of dreamy tulle.
The sea breeze gently brushed past, carrying a hint of saltiness.
When it was time for work, Liang Jin came to the Surveillance Hall as usual, in an orderly manner, to prepare to start a day's work.
Just as he stepped into the Surveillance Hall, he couldn't help but let out a suspicious hum:
"Hmm?"
He scanned the hall, but couldn't see Han Suyan and An Lansheng's figures.
A strange feeling welled up in Liang Jin's heart.
These two have always been punctual on weekdays and have never been late.
In the past, whenever Liang Jin came to the Surveillance Hall, they would have already finished cleaning and quietly waited for the task to be arranged.
But today, their traces were nowhere to be seen in the hall.
At first, Liang Jin thought that the two might be fooling around in private and were delayed for a while, so he didn't care too much.
However, as time passed minute by minute, a whole hour passed, and Liang Jin still didn't see Han Suyan and An Lansheng's figures.
At this time, a sense of unease surged into Liang Jin's heart, and he finally realized that things might not be as simple as he thought.
There must be something wrong!
