Wei Yuning put down his chopsticks, hesitated, and said, "Let her in!"

After a while, a young woman in a long purple dress walked in. The woman is as delicate as a flower, with a fair and soft face, a little baby fat, looking soft and weak, walking step by step and shaking three times, full of different temptation style.

Seeing that the two of them were eating in the main hall, she frowned and showed an angry expression of being snubbed, but the strange smell of food made her sniff hard.

"I'm sorry, I haven't eaten for a long time, why don't you have one too?" Wei Yuning pointed to a wooden barrel beside him, which was exuding a strong aroma.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, little girl is welcome!" she quickly stepped forward to pick up the empty bowl from the table, filled one for herself, and sat down on one side of the table.

"Don't call me the king, I'm just the lord of Black Dragon City. You break this small piece of pancake, soak it in the soup, and then pick it up and eat it!" Wei Yuning pointed to a pile of pancakes on a large plate in the middle of the square table.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord, the little girl's surname is Tu Mingjiao, she is an elder of the Shadow Pavilion, and she has something important to discuss with the City Lord!" Tu Jiao introduced herself while breaking the pancake like the two of them.

"It's amazing, Miss Tu is already an elder of the Shadow Pavilion at a young age, admire and admire! It's good to say it directly, this is the Chengxin Master of Heishui Temple, her own person, you don't have to shy away from it. Wei Yuning said.

In the Shadow Pavilion, it is divided into two systems: executors and maintainers.

The executor is divided into two subsystems, shadow and killer, from low to high, level one to level nine, and it was the third-level killer who assassinated Wei Yuning in the first place in Danyao Peak.

Maintainers are called stewards, from low to high, level one to level nine, and only stewards who have reached level nine are qualified to be called elders, and they are already the highest level within the Shadow Pavilion.

"The city lord has won the award, and the status of the elders of the Shadow Pavilion is all promoted by friends, and there is no real power, compared to the city lord, it is too far behind. Oops, it's delicious, it smells good, I didn't expect it to taste better, this tastes ...... Is it the sauce you bought from the Cloud Hidden Sect's Secret Medicine Pavilion?" Tu Jiao said in surprise.

“...... That's right, Miss Tu really knows the goods!" Wei Yuning praised.

"Thank you Lord City Lord for your appreciation, then I'll eat a little more, I can't afford to eat the sauce in the Secret Medicine Pavilion!" Tu Jiao began to gulp in a big gulp, forming a huge contrast with her weak appearance.

Monk Chengxin looked at Tu Jiao with dissatisfaction, then took a third of the pancakes on the table and put them in front of his bowl, and continued to bow his head and chew slowly. He eats very slowly, and it's okay to be with Wei Yuning, because Wei Yuning only eats his own share every time, but this Tu Jiao is obviously a foodie, and he is also the kind that has no taste, as a handsome and well-cultivated monk, of course he can't grab food with this kind of barbarian, so he can only enjoy it exclusively.

"Well, it's delicious, this is the best rock sheep from the Ice and Snow Island Plateau, how did you get it? This is a delicacy unique to the Thousand Han Sect!" Tu Jiao automatically ignored Cheng Xin's movements and exclaimed again.

Of course, the rock sheep is a gift from Xue Duoduo, and Wei Yuning chose not to respond to this question. This Tu Jiao really deserves to be the elder of the Shadow Pavilion, and she is well-informed, Wei Yuning is really afraid that after saying a few words, she will be able to guess his true identity.

"Delicious, delicious, alas, master, you ...... Can you divide me into two pieces of this pancake? After eating nonsense, Tu Jiao quickly wiped out the pancakes in the middle of the table and began to stare at the side of Monk Chengxin.

"Daoyou Weizhuang, I have to take a step in advance, and we will have another hot pot tomorrow!" Chengxin held the bowl with his left hand and the cake with his right hand, leaving Tu Jiao with the back of his head.

"Hmph, the monk is so stingy!" Tu Jiao said angrily,

Hearing this, Monk Chengxin walked faster.

After Chengxin disappeared for a while, Tu Jiao retracted her gaze, looked at Wei Yuning, and said with a smile: "Okay, there is no obstacle here now, we can talk about business!"

“...... Miss Tu, please tell me if you have anything serious!" Wei Yuning said.

"Young Master Yu Ning, I was introduced by the Lord of the Snow Alliance, and I am very good friends with her, and we have known her since childhood!"

"Ah, I know, you're the friend of the Shadow Pavilion she said at the beginning, right?" Wei Yuning was startled, and then suddenly realized.

"Yes, she actually mentioned me to you, what did she say, did she say bad things about me behind my back?" Tu Jiao immediately became excited.

"Why did she say bad things about you?" Wei Yuning said curiously, "She just said that she had a friend in the Shadow Pavilion!"

"Haha, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously, and don't tell her!" Tu Jiao grinned.

Wei Yuning was speechless again, the contrast between this Tu Jiao's appearance and personality was too great, which made him feel very disobedient.

"Okay, let's get down to business! City Lord, I'm here this time to ask for something!" Tu Jiao restrained her smile and said very solemnly.

"Miss Tu, please speak!" Wei Yuning said.

"First of all, the Shadow Pavilion originally had a station in Black Dragon City, but there was a great chaos here a few days ago, and we had to evacuate. Now that this side is stable again, the Shadow Pavilion plans to return to its original station, but I didn't expect the city defense personnel here to inform me that all the vacant properties in Black Dragon City have been classified as the city's public property, that is, owned by the city lord. But I have a clear deed and title deed in my hand, and I can't even return to my residence, Lord City, do you say this is annoying?" Tu Jiao said angrily.

However, her voice was crisp and pleasant, obviously angry, but in Wei Yuning's ears, she was like a coquette.

"Oh, it turns out that it's just the first thing, let's talk about other things as well!" Wei Yuning smiled.

"Well, I'll talk about the second thing. In the past, there were all walks of life in this royal city, including merchants and celebrities, princes and ministers, as well as peddlers and pawns, poor and rich, but now it is good, all of them have become the personal slaves of the city lord......"

"Stop, stop, where did you hear that? Where are there any slaves! These are self-reliant urban workers, self-employed, private owners, craftsmen, art workers, all free people, all of whom can leave the city at any time if they want to!" Wei Yuning hurriedly corrected.

“...... Hmph, they are all working for the City Lord's Mansion, and all the shops, workshops, fields, mines, etc., on the street, belong to your City Lord, you say, what is the difference between this and a slave?" Tu Jiao retorted.

"Of course there is a difference, have you ever seen a slave who lives so well? Now all the residents of Black Dragon City have no noble or low status, only different division of labor, isn't this a good thing? By the way, you have been talking for a long time, what does this matter have to do with you?" Wei Yuning said curiously.
