Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou was righteously indignant. He didn't have time to argue with him at the moment, so he hurried towards Bai Su. Before long, he arrived in front of Bai Su, his face unusually ugly.

Bai Su looked at Li Ergou and said with a slight surprise, "What happened? Your expression makes it seem like someone owes you a lot of money."

Li Ergou complained, "Humph, wasn't I just tricked by that fish seller? He forced that dead fish on me, and then he took out a live and kicking fish again. How can you not be angry?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Su suddenly laughed and said, "Hehehe, I didn't expect you, of all people, to get the short end of the stick. That White Scale Fish is indeed a rare spirit fish, worth a lot of money. How he sells it is his business.

Serves you right for being so curious."

After being ridiculed by Bai Su, Li Ergou truly wanted to cry but had no tears. If Bai Su wasn't his superior, he would have spanked her. It seemed that no one was going to sympathize with his suffering. There was no choice but to swallow his grievances.

Li Ergou was truly like a mute eating Coptis chinensis, unable to express his suffering. He could only ask her with a depressed look, "Where exactly are you taking me so mysteriously?"

Bai Su whispered, "To a small circle's trade fair. There aren't many people, but they are all大佬s above the Golden Core stage, all big shots with some background."

Li Ergou was slightly surprised, thinking that Bai Su was going to show him the world. He quickly took a deep breath to calm his emotions, as he couldn't afford to embarrass Bai Su.

Money can be earned back, but once face is lost, it's truly gone.

Just like that, the two followed Jin Wudi to the edge of the underground space. Only then did Li Ergou see that there were several doors lined up on the stone wall at the edge.

Jin Wudi cast a few hand seals towards the first door on the left. The earthy-yellow, unremarkable door opened with a 'pa' sound.

Surprisingly, there was a hazy light flickering inside the door, making it impossible to see the situation inside the room.

Jin Wudi strode in, followed closely by Bai Su and Li Ergou. After passing through the light, Li Ergou finally saw the scene in front of him: a room about seven or eight zhang in diameter.

In the center of the room was a huge brown warm jade stone table, about a zhang wide and two zhang long. There were many exotic fruits on the table. On both sides of the table were two rows of chairs made of high-quality padauk wood.

At this moment, besides the three of them, there were six other people sitting on both sides of the stone table.

They were four men and two women. When they entered the room, they all looked towards the newcomers. Their gazes skipped over Bai Su and Jin Wudi and finally landed on Li Ergou, showing a hint of confusion in their eyes.

Jin Wudi laughed and said to the others, "Today, I brought a little fellow to see the world."

A thin man with a slender face and thick, black eyebrows snorted and said with some dissatisfaction, "Old Jin, what's the background of this kid that he's worth you personally bringing him over?"

Before Jin Wudi could speak, the man's aura surged, and countless divine senses swept towards Li Ergou like a storm. Without needing to think, it was clear that this guy wanted to give Li Ergou a hard time first.

Li Ergou felt the endless divine senses coming at him, and his heart stirred. Naturally, he was unwilling to be outdone. He didn't dare to say anything else, but if they wanted to compete with him in divine sense power, he was really not afraid of these guys.

Li Ergou had just suffered a loss and was already angry. Now, relying on Bai Su and Jin Wudi's support, he was not afraid in his heart.

He immediately moved his divine sense, and countless divine sense power surged out. You must know that his divine sense power was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

The powerful divine sense enveloped the area, and the entire narrow space was immediately filled with immense pressure. The Taoist's divine sense power, which was only at the mid-Golden Core stage, was no match for Li Ergou and was immediately pushed back.

Then, Li Ergou's divine sense swept towards the Taoist without hesitation.

Under the immense pressure of divine sense, the Taoist couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Everyone in the room couldn't help but widen their eyes, their eyes filled with disbelief.

However, Li Ergou's divine sense did not continue to oppress him. After all, he knew his own strength and didn't dare to act too big.

So, his divine sense pressed down slightly on the Taoist, stopping just at the right moment.

At this moment, the room was eerily quiet, so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.

The Taoist immediately stood up, his voice filled with nervousness and fear, and cupped his hands and said, "I didn't know that fellow Daoist was so profound. I offended you just now. Please don't blame me."

He was kidding. This was the divine sense that only a Nascent Soul stage cultivator could possess. Although he had detected that this person's current cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, who knew if he was trying to play the pig to eat the tiger and had cultivated some small神通 to hide his cultivation.

Divine sense could not be faked. The Taoist's heart trembled. After all, none of these people who pretended to be weak were easy to provoke. He was really afraid of annoying Li Ergou, and if he lost his temper, it would be difficult to deal with.

Li Ergou was slightly surprised. After so many years of officialdom experience, he was no longer the stupid person he used to be and immediately thought of the reason.

It must be that this guy had misunderstood him and thought he was a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in disguise. After all, there were many people in the cultivation world who liked to play the pig to eat the tiger, pretending to be weak on the surface, but becoming extremely fierce when fighting.

Therefore, he rolled his eyes and his heart stirred. Why not adapt to the situation and fool them, so as to save these people who looked down on others from bullying him.

So, he put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly, "Humph, you Taoist are really unreasonable. We have no grudges, but you have to provoke me.

If it weren't for Bai Su and the County Chancellor's sake, I would definitely not let you off so easily today."

The Taoist immediately looked frightened and said, "I'm so sorry, please calm your anger."

Li Ergou was silent for a moment before saying, "Forget it, don't do it again."

The Taoist then took a long breath and said, "Alright, alright, I am Xuanhe Taoist of the Xiaodao Sect in Fish City. May I know your name, fellow Daoist?"

Li Ergou did not hesitate and said, "I am Li Ergou, the second constable of Fish City."

As soon as this name came out, everyone in the room was stunned. Everyone looked confused, after all, it was too incredible for such a cultivation to only be a small constable.

In the end, everyone thought to themselves that they had heard that many people with profound cultivation were very unusual.

Their behavior was strange, and their personalities were even more unpredictable. Anyway, they would not act like normal people. Forget it, this kind of person might go crazy at any time, so it's better not to provoke them.

After thinking about it, everyone felt relieved and told Li Ergou their names.

Bai Su was also a little inexplicable in her heart, wondering why Li Ergou's divine sense was so powerful, but having been in contact with Li Ergou a lot, she knew Li Ergou's background. His cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, which could not be hidden.

So, this was strange, and she didn't know what had happened to him. After returning, she had to ask him carefully.

Jin Wudi was also in contact with Li Ergou for the first time and didn't know that Li Ergou was actually a hidden master. He gave Bai Su a somewhat blaming look, and then his majestic face squeezed up and down, revealing a chrysanthemum-like smile.
