Night.

In the southeast area of the city lord's mansion, in a partial house, the lights are bright.

The room is small, surrounded by all kinds of exquisite small decorations, and on the walls, rows of bookshelves are stacked with rows of ancient books and documents, glowing with the smell of old ink.

In the center, in front of a long copper-colored wooden table, Zong Lin was crouching on the desk, writing and processing all kinds of copywriting sent today.

These texts are arranged with special encryption formations, and if there is no specific means, forcibly opening them will only make the files self-destruct.

Security is high.

"Knock knock~"

At this moment, outside the door, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Zong Lin didn't look up and said directly. With a squeak, I saw outside the door, a slightly chubby old man in a brown and black robe bowed in.

The old man's face was round, his eyes were small, and he still had a sheep's beard on his chin, and he looked very kind, but he was shrewd.

He is the great steward of the City Lord's Mansion, Ningde.

"Sir, here comes tea. ”

Ning De held a cup of tea in his hand, slowly walked to the desk, and carefully placed the cup on the side of the table.

"Good work. ”

Zong Lin raised his head, picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and then asked, "Has the guest been arranged?"

"I have already entered the wing, and the maids have also accompanied me. ”

"Yes. ”

Zong Lin nodded, this old housekeeper has been with him for many years, and in terms of doing things, it is indeed reassuring.

"In the past few days, I have been running a lot, after all, my junior brother is new to this place, and he is not familiar with this place, and when the time comes, you will need to bother. ”

"Hey~"

Ning De nodded hurriedly.

"That's right. Zong Lin put down the teacup, looked at Ning De and said casually, "Do you have any opinions about the 'Flea Gang'?"

"Master......" Ning De was stunned, it had been several months since this matter, why did he ask again? But he didn't dare to ask, after opening his mouth, he said, "The old slave doesn't have any opinions, but I just think that the murderer is too arrogant." ”

"Really?"

Zong Lin smiled, his fingers tapped and tapped, and suddenly, the entire study was depressed and dull, and it took a long time before he raised his head, glanced at the old butler, and waved his hand.

"It's late, you go down. ”

"Yes. ”

Ning De nodded hurriedly, but behind his back, he was already in a cold sweat.

"Pay attention in the future, got it?"

Zong Lin's cold opening made Ning De's whole body tremble, "Yes, the old slave knows." ”

"Yes. ”

Ning De cautiously retreated.

In the study, suddenly, only Zong Lin was left.

"Although the matter of the 'Flea Gang' has been suppressed, it seems that it is necessary to re-investigate and investigate. He let out a long sigh, the news he got tonight made him very uneasy.

Although he is in charge of the Sky City, no one can tell how many undercurrents there are in this dark place.

It's been getting messy lately.

Recalling the recent series of events, he even suspected that there had been 'traitors' who had colluded with those people outside the world and secretly conspired, and the 'Flea Gang' might be one of the lines.

As for his old butler, who has been with him for many years, Zong Lin naturally knows that the old butler is secretly doing things, standing with the prestige of the City Lord's Mansion, and he doesn't know how many benefits he has received over the years.

But he didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of thing, and always turned a blind eye.

When the flea gang was destroyed, he didn't bother.

The reason why I asked this time was to see the old butler's reaction and see if he was a 'traitor'.

It doesn't seem to be there now, but the old butler is greedy, and now that the situation is chaotic, he still has to beat him up and let him settle down.

"And before the flea gang was destroyed, when the 'flea shop' was destroyed, there were two special fluctuations flashed, but unfortunately, I was one step late, and the people had already left. ”

Zong Lin remembered the strange fluctuations he felt in an alley a few months ago, which was an obvious feature of spatial shifting.

To be able to make a big move in the Sky City, at least it is a Da Luo Jin Immortal-level existence.

"Investigation...... How do I investigate...... Hey......"

Sighing lightly, Zong Lin lowered his head again and continued to review the copy.

......

In the night, after the old housekeeper Ning De left the study, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Master's words......"

He was very worried and uneasy.

Fortunately, the old man only warned, which made his heart slightly relieved, but his thoughts were still complicated.

Don't look at Zong Lin's kind words, but after getting along for many years, Ning De knows that once his master gets angry, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The existence of being able to sit in the entire sky city with his own strength is not so easy to get along with on the surface.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, every step is like walking on thin ice.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten involved with the flea gang. ”

"It's just...... It's been so long since this happened, why did the lord bring it up? Is it related to that guest?"

"The people of the three great inheritance holy places~"

Ning De looked at the east corner of the mansion, which was the location of the guest room, and his small eyes also narrowed, revealing a complicated look of faint envy and jealousy in his eyes.

"It seems that we are going to 'break off' those relationships recently. ”

"It's a pity that there is a lot of money, and there are still some ...... You can buy ...... 'Stealing Heaven and Death Pill'. ”

As he spoke, he gently touched the fingers of his right hand, which were empty, but there was a cold sensation coming from them.

This was an unexpected adventure two months ago.

Never mentioned to anyone.

And this adventure made his heart ...... The flame of ambition has also burned, but now it must be slowed down, slowed down......

Gradually, Ning De walked farther and farther, and his figure completely disappeared into the darkness.

And what he didn't know was that behind him, a pair of eyes were watching him closely, and it was only after he disappeared that the owner of those eyes emerged from the darkness.

"Lord Juggernaut, this is just an old guy who has completed the realm of gods and demons, it seems that ...... Nothing out of the ordinary. ”

In the darkness, the young man in a white robe stood in the shadows, he clearly stood there, but his body seemed to be non-existent, unperceivable, imperceptible, like air.

This man was none other than the guest, 'Mona'.

"No, there's a familiar aura on him......" a cold voice echoed in Mon'a's mind, "but it seems to be different. ”

"Anyway, you keep an eye on this person. ”

"Also, try to get more information about the destruction of the 'Flea Gang' from the mouth of the city lord and find the murderer. ”

"He must still be hidden in the city, he must still be hidden in the city......"

As the voice spoke, it turned into a low roar, and the rumbling echo continued.

"My subordinates will pay attention. ”

Meng'a replied respectfully, "However, the length of time my subordinates stay here ...... After all, it won't be too long, and if it's too long, Senior Brother Zonglin is afraid that he will find something wrong, so he ......"

"It won't be long, as long as I can see him, no matter how deep he hides, I can recognize him. The voice said coldly: "Remember, you must find that person, this is the task." ”

After a pause, the voice said, "If everything goes well, this reward will be enough to make your cultivation go further." ”

"Yes, Juggernaut. ”

The corners of Mon'a's mouth curled slightly, nodded, and immediately glanced around, and his body slowly melted into the shadows, like water waves, dissolving.
