Three days later.

In Ling Xiao's City Lord's Mansion, that Gou envoy arrived as scheduled.

"How's it going, have you found the bodies of the two Secret Inspectors? Leave it to me now. “

The envoy asked arrogantly.

"I'm sorry! Emissary, since time has passed and we don't have any clues, we can't complete the mission assigned by the Emissary! “

"Ling Xiao, what are you talking about, are you despising this envoy?"

"Ling Xiao doesn't dare!"

"Why don't you dare to do what this envoy says? Are you perfunctory to me? “

"There's really nothing you can do about it!"

Ling Xiao said helplessly.

"Bold Ling Xiao, ineffective, and looking for a lot of excuses for himself, come to someone, take this Ling Xiao down for me!"

"Yes! Be! “

This envoy of Gou was about to arrest Ling Xiao.

"Wait! I have something to say! “

At this time, Ling Yu walked out of the back hall and said to Envoy Gou.

"It's you kid, you dare to appear in front of me, take it down for me!"

This envoy Gou was indiscriminate at all, and after seeing Ling Yu, he didn't even give him a chance to explain live, so he ordered someone to be arrested.

Is there still a need to reason with such a special envoy?

I saw that Envoy Gou's subordinates suddenly surrounded him, and immediately surrounded Ling Yu's father and son.

"Yu'er, don't come nonsense!"

"Father, don't you understand? Is this Lord Gou deliberately making things difficult for us? I know that the corpses of these two secret envoys cannot be recovered, but I want you to hand them over, just to force you to submit and send your 'filial piety'! “

"Humph!" This envoy snorted coldly: "I didn't expect you to be quite good at a young age, much better than your inflexible father, so, you step back first, I'll listen to what he has to say first!"

Ling Xiao was also completely speechless.

"Your Excellency, you can make an offer, how can you let our father and son go?" Ling Yu asked.

"Refreshing! I just like to deal with people like you, a fixed price, a million Xuanshi! “

I'm an ancestor of you! It's better to take my father's life, all the savings of the Ling family are now added together, and it is less than 100,000 Xuan Stones.

A million Xuanshi, isn't that a joke?

"Okay, I'll answer you, but Lord Gou wants him a huge amount, we need time to raise it, and ask the envoy to give us ten days to prepare!"

"Ten days to prepare? No, it's too long, I'll only give you five days! I don't believe it, a dignified city lord of Xingyue City can't even take out a million Xuanshi! “

"Okay, five days is five days, and in five days, I will personally hand over the Xuanshi to you..."Ling Yu said without hesitation.

"Yu'er, a million Xuanshi, five days, how is it possible?" Ling Xiao couldn't believe it, he simply felt that Ling Yu was crazy.

"Father, don't worry." After speaking, he gave Ling Xiao a look and motioned for him to stop talking.

Ling Xiao didn't understand what he meant, so he had to keep silent.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Master Gou no longer paid attention to Ling Xiao's father and son, and left the City Lord's Mansion with his own people.

He felt that Ling Xiao, a ninth-level cultivator of Xuan Qi, could turn over what tricks he could do in front of him, a master in the middle of the Yuan Realm?

After Envoy Gou left, Ling Xiao sat down on a chair and muttered, "A million Xuanshi, where to find it?"

"Father doesn't need to worry, I'll take care of it for my father."

"You? Handled? It's not because the Father doesn't believe in you, why should you? “

Ling Yu knew that it was useless to explain to his father more, even if he showed his father his cultivation to enter the Yuan Realm now, it would be impossible for his father to support him and confront Envoy Gou.

There were two reasons why Ling Yu let this envoy appear at home and be arrogant.

One is because the first layer of his demon clan exercises has not yet been practiced.

Another is that he wants his father to have a clear understanding, and he wants to make this envoy not extort money, which is like seeking skin with a tiger!

This Gou envoy, Ling Yu must get rid of it!

In order not to let people suspect the person who started it on the head of Xingyue City, Ling Yu could only use the demon clan's exercises.

In this Xuanqi Continent, the Demon Clan's exercises have almost disappeared.

It is said that this demon clan technique originated in the Demon Martial Continent.

Thousands of years ago, on the Xuanqi Continent, demonic cultivation and Xuanqi coexisted, and people could choose one or the other to cultivate.

Later, more than a thousand years ago, after the Xuanwu Emperor unified the Xuanqi Continent and established the Xuanwu Empire, it was suddenly explicitly forbidden, and the monks in the empire were no longer allowed to practice the Demon Clan's exercises.

More than a thousand years have passed, and the demon exercises have almost disappeared from the Xuanqi Continent.

Now if there is a demon exercise, it will definitely make the tracking completely circled, and I don't know where to suspect it.

After having the above considerations, Ling Yu decided to hide it from his father and do this vote.

Ling Yu can only comfort his father with good words now and make his father believe in himself.

What else could Ling Xiao say? Ling Yu had already taken it upon himself to finalize the date for the delivery of the Xuanshi with Special Envoy Gou.

Only if you can drag it out for a day, how many dark stones can you raise... Wait, do you really want to raise this big amount of money?

How do you give service to the elders upwards, and how do you serve the people of Star Moon City downwards?

This Gou envoy is a real fucking dog wow! If Ling Xiao had this strength now, he would want to slap this grandson to death with one palm!

"Your mother misses you, go see her."

"What? Did my mother ask me to go? “

Hearing his father say this, Ling Yu was very excited, and then said, "I'll go over and see her!"

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Your mother has always loved you very much, and there is a reason why I don't see you often, I hope you don't complain about her because of this!"

"Well, I see, father."

Seeing Ling Yu easily walking towards his mother's room, Ling Xiao's eyes moistened a little, and he muttered: "Child, there are some things that can't be sued to you, once the news leaks, it will bring a catastrophe to our family, the less you know, the better..."

After saying this, he sighed again: "It's just living so cautiously, and it's still in trouble?" Isn't it true that this time they can't keep their mother and son safe..."

………………………………

Ling Yu finally came to the Buddha hall where his mother was eating fasting and reciting Buddha, but he couldn't help but slow down.

Xiaohong still stood at the door and waited this time, but she had no intention of stopping Ling Yu.

Ling Yu walked into the Buddhist hall step by step, only to see her mother kneeling reverently on the prayer mat, hearing the footsteps, she didn't look back, she only said softly: "You're here!"

"Hmm..."

In Ling Yu's heart, he also had mixed feelings at the moment. The mother who loves her children in the world obviously lives in the same yard, why is the number of times she meets her son is limited?

Ling Yu really wanted to ask clearly, what was all this for?
