Chapter 432: The Man Behind the Curtain

As soon as he entered the shed, Tianyou felt that he was being watched by the eyes around him.

The decoration in the shed is even more luxurious than the outside, as if to show the economic strength of the city lord's mansion, all the seats in the shed are carved from pure natural spar.

Xuanjing is an existence similar to the demon beast spar, which can improve the cultivation of mages, but the Xuanjing is bred in nature after tens of thousands of years, and the formation conditions are more harsh than the demon beast spar, so it is also more rare.

There was a middle-aged man sitting on the upper seat of the shed, and when he saw Tianyou come in, he looked puzzled.

"Wang Shou, age twenty-nine?" The middle-aged man glanced at the list in his hand, and felt that Tianyou didn't look like he was twenty-nine years old.

"No, no, no!" Tianyou waved his hand again and again, and then casually pointed outside the shed, "Those people have stomach aches, so I'll come in first." ”

"Who are you?"

"God bless, Ice Mage, ten or nine years old this year. Tianyou paused, and reported two more years up.

After all, although the age of seventeen has also reached the age of marriage in the mainland, it is still a little younger.

The middle-aged man at the top nodded, looked down at the list in his hand, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see Tianyou's name.

"You signed up on a temporary basis? Your name doesn't appear on this list. ”

"Yes, I came from afar to admire the daughter of the city lord, so I came to give it a try. Tianyou felt that there were several powerful breaths behind the curtains around him, which made Tianyou look awkward.

This city lord's mansion is by no means simple!

"Where are you from?"

"I was in a small mountain village under the extremely cold snow-capped mountains, and it was the first time I had gone far away. Tianyou's ice-blue eyes looked like an innocent teenager, "City Lord, can I meet your daughter first." ”

The middle-aged man at the top was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm not the city lord, I'm the housekeeper of the city lord's mansion." ”

Tianyou nodded stunned, on the surface, he looked innocent and honest, but in fact, Tianyou had long known that the middle-aged man above was not the city lord.

It was really a few people behind the curtains on both sides who gave Tianyou too much oppression, which made Tianyou feel that he was in danger.

Tianyou's "admitting the wrong person" made the housekeeper let down some of his guard and began to get down to business.

"You want to see our young lady?" the butler's tone softened, "Little brother, why is that?"

"I just entered the city today, and everyone said that the city lord's daughter was in love with the country, and I also wanted to see it. "God blesses his big eyes with a bit of youthful frankness.

"In addition to my family, only my fiancΓ© can see her appearance. The housekeeper explained with a smile, feeling that this young man was really ignorant and innocent.

"What is the young lady's name?" asked Tianyou again.

"Yang Qinyin. After a moment's hesitation, the butler said slowly, "Although it is a bit rude to say my young lady's name directly, but my young lady's name is not a secret, and the people of the end city know it, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." ”

"Then thank you, uncle. "God bless and thanks.

The housekeeper then asked Tianyou a few more questions.

Tianyou answered with a serious half-truth.

After a while, Tianyou heard three gentle taps on the table from behind the curtain.

"Okay, you've passed the level, let's go to the next level!" The butler seemed to have received some instructions, and directly ordered someone to take Tianyou to the next level.

Tianyou glanced at the curtain unintentionally before leaving the shed, but he was afraid that what was hidden behind the curtain should be the real city lord.

Tianyou pretended not to find anything, and walked straight out of the shed.

After Tianyou left, the curtain was lifted.

A middle-aged man with a calm and resolute bearing and a young girl with a veil walked out from behind the curtain.

"Sir, miss. The butler hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully.

"That's all for today, and I'll continue the interview tomorrow. The second and third levels will be carried out as usual. The city lord commanded in a deep voice.

"Sir, it's only noon, won't you have an interview?" asked the butler cautiously.

The city lord didn't speak, but the girl beside him spoke.

"Uncle Yang, let's be here today! There are enough people interviewed. ”

"Yes. The housekeeper Yang Bo saluted, walked out of the shed and ordered to go down.

And in the shed, only the city lord and the city lord's daughter were left.

"Yin'er, you seem to be very satisfied with that Tianyou just now?" the city lord suddenly spoke.

"No, just curious. The city lord's daughter looked indifferent, and her voice revealed a little coldness.

The city lord smiled slightly and touched Yang Qinyin's head lovingly.

"There are very few people you're interested in, do you want to see for yourself how he is going to do the next two levels?"

Yang Qinyin bowed slightly.

"Then you go first, I'll go home first. A few days ago, the lord sent a group of people, and I wanted to find a suitable courtyard for them to settle in. A hint of sadness flashed across the city lord's face.

"Father, I heard Uncle Yang say that when those people came, they were all dressed in black and covered with blood, I'm afraid they weren't good people, why did you take them in?" Yang Qinyin frowned and puzzled.

"They showed me a mark. That mark was the mark unique to their organization, and it was their people who helped the city at the end of the decade when it was in trouble. I don't remember the sigil, but I'm pretty sure it's them. Now that they have come to the door to ask for help, I am not willing to take revenge. The city lord sighed helplessly, "I just hope they don't be traitors." ”

"Then why didn't my father send them out of the house, so that they wouldn't get into trouble? ”

"The adults have already told me that they are hiding from their enemies, and how can I get them out again. ”

"Didn't the father ask who their enemy was?"

I asked, but the adults didn't want to say anything, only that they didn't reveal their whereabouts to anyone. ”

"Did they say how long they would stay?"

"They're leaving after this month, and they're going to get away from the wind during this time. ”

Yang Qinyin was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly: "Then be careful, father, I'll go to the two sheds next door first." ”

"Wait, come with you for your father's sake. Anyway, this is also my daughter's lifelong event, not to be hasty. After thinking about it, the city lord decided to hand over the affairs of the house to the housekeeper, while he accompanied his daughter to continue to choose a son-in-law.

The second shed is far less luxurious than the first, but it carries a bookish scent.

Tianyou stared at the scholar-like man in a brocade robe opposite.

"I'm illiterate, I grew up in a ravine, and I haven't read anything. Tianyou smelled the fragrance of ink around him, and his heart was a little weak.
