20demayo Chapter 490 Return to Qianlong City
Chapter 490 Return to Qianlong City
After the herbs were delivered, Kong Nan took them and asked Feng Chenlan to leave. Then he handed the herbs to Lin Zhao. Lin Zhao took the herbs and entered the secret realm to start refining the elixir.
For Lin Zhao now, refining the seventh-level elixir is not a difficult task.
After seven days and seven nights in the secret realm, Lin Zhao looked at the alchemy cauldron in front of him and let out a breath.
The sounds of Xiaobei and Ziyue fighting were heard outside. Lin Zhao took the elixir that had spiritual power and wanted to escape, walked out of the cave, and looked at Ye Wei who was taking care of Xiaobei.
Ever since Minggui opened up this girl's bloodline, her cultivation speed has been extremely fast in the secret realm with abundant spiritual energy. Even Lin Zhao felt envious when he saw her.
"It's worthy of being called the Heart of the Scarlet Dragon. I almost got moved when I saw it."
Lin Zhao appeared in front of them and pinched Xiaobei's face with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wei immediately said, "If the fairy wants, Ye Wei can give it to the fairy right now."
Lin Zhao met the seriousness in Ye Wei's eyes and quickly waved his hands: "I'm kidding, I don't know how to walk with this thing on me."
"It's not a good idea to always be in the secret realm. The time difference between here and the outside world is nothing to adults like us who have cultivated, but it's not good for Xiaobei. This time, I will leave the legion and return to Qianlong City to deal with your problems. The City Lord's Mansion should know your identity."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wei was silent for a moment, then nodded.
……
The Great Qin Dynasty, Qianlong City, City Lord’s Mansion.
The Lord of Qianlong City asked the monk in front of him with an unpleasant expression: "What did you say? Are you sure that the witch is still alive?"
The servant below did not dare to hide it, "The Second Miss's soul lamp is indeed still lit."
The Lord of Qianlong City stood up and walked around anxiously, "That witch killed her mother when she was born, and now she is here to harm our family. Madam, why did you bring this witch back to harm our family?"
Compared to her husband's panic, the beautiful woman sitting on the other side of the city lord seemed unusually calm. She drank a sip of tea and looked at her husband mockingly.
"Why didn't you ask yourself why you were sowing the seeds when you went to Yihonglou? Getting a prostitute pregnant is embarrassing enough for the people in the City Lord's Mansion, and it's even more embarrassing to let that prostitute die in childbirth. When did I not allow her to enter the house?"
As she spoke, she became a little sarcastic: "It's fine if you don't take good care of her after bringing her back. Giving birth out of wedlock is not a big deal. Can't we afford to raise a child? In the final analysis, you just want to flatter the Duan Ye family, so you spread rumors about your own daughter, saying that she loves Master Duan Ye, and give Master Duan Ye's fiancée a legitimate reason to make her disappear."
This is the first time that the City Lord’s wife has seen someone treat his own bloodline like this.
She was the daughter of a wealthy family. If her family had not needed the right to guard Qianlong City, which was located at the border of two great dynasties, she would have really looked down on this loser.
When the city lord asked the woman to get pregnant, she was not in Qianlong City, but was fighting against the demons on the front line. It was several months later that she learned the news. She could only send someone to pick up the woman and bring her back home. However, when she came back, she only received the news that the woman had died and left a daughter in Yihong Tower.
This really made her very angry. With her status and strength, why should she care about how many illegitimate children and concubines her husband had? So she immediately asked someone to bring the girl back to the City Lord's Mansion and listed her under her eldest daughter as the Second Lady of the City Lord's Mansion.
Who would have thought that her growing power in Qianlong City over the years would arouse the competitiveness of this coward. In order to oppose her, he labeled his own daughter a witch and gave her to the Duanye family, hoping to gain the support of the Duanye family to fight against her and her mother's family.
Although the city lord's wife was angry, her mother's family was no match for the Duan Ye family. Besides, Ye Wei was not her biological daughter, so she just let them go.
As for the current situation, the city lord is angry, but she is not angry at all, and is actually very happy about it.
The city lord was so angry that his hair was about to explode. He said without thinking: "If it weren't for your An family bullying me too much, would I have joined the Duanye family?"
Madam An sighed, "You want to flatter the Duan Ye family, but you don't know that the Duan Ye family has always been arrogant. After suffering a loss, they blame my An family. A loser like you, no family will look down on you."
If she hadn't had good talent and managed to become a city lord, why would the An family let her marry into the family?
It’s a pity that someone with talent for cultivation may not necessarily have brains.
Mrs. An was too lazy to say more to her useless husband. Over the years, she saw that he looked down upon her talent in Taoism more and more. After a brief period of affection in this life, Mrs. An relaxed and turned around and left the hall.
The city lord looked at Madam An's back, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
"Bitch, do you really think I'm not connected to the Duan Ye family? Just wait, you generals won't have a peaceful life for many days. I want to see what you can do to me after the An family is gone."
He had reached the Great Perfection of Heart-moving, while Madam An had been practicing day in and day out over the years without stopping, and she often went to the battlefield for training, so she had only reached the initial stage of Heart-moving. The gap between them was not a little bit.
If he hadn't been afraid of the An family, he would have destroyed this woman long ago!
……
After handing the refined medicine to Granny Kong, Lin Zhao said goodbye to his acquaintances in the West District Legion and left again with Ye Wei and Xiao Bei.
When they arrived at Qianlong City, it was already sunset. Lin Zhao held Xiaobei's hand, paid the entrance fee to the guard at the city gate, and used two documents forged by Kong Hui to sneak into the city.
While looking for a place to stay in the city, he suddenly noticed that Ye Wei on the other side was trembling slightly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhao looked at her.
Ye Wei looked towards the distance with a complicated expression, and Lin Zhao followed her gaze. There was a young man in white clothes and carrying a sword. He had an outstanding appearance, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his temperament was lonely and cold, like a cold tangerine on a snowy mountain.
He stood under the old locust tree in the city. The sunlight fell on him but did not bring any warmth.
"It's my uncle." Xiaobei said.
Is this the son of the City Lord’s Mansion?
Lin Zhao patted Ye Wei's shoulder. Ye Wei knew that Lin Zhao was trying to comfort her. She shook her head and said, "He, the city lord's wife, and the eldest lady are not bad to me."
The one who really dislikes her is her father, who is her closest blood relative.
Ye Jiangxiu walked over quickly and bowed to Lin Zhao, "Senior, you are the great master who saved my second sister. Ye Jiangxiu from Qianlong City Lord's Mansion would like to thank you."
Lin Zhao looked at him for a moment, "Don't you know that she was hung at the city gate?"
Ye Jiangxiu had an unpleasant expression on his face. “At the time, Wanwan and I were on a mission in the North District Army. My mother only found out about this when she came over with a letter.”
Lin Zhao didn't comment on his words, "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way. I want to go to the City Lord's Mansion."
