Li Fengyun and Lu Xin arrived in Shen Cheng around early this morning, both of them disguised themselves in disguise, and the above magic concealed their true yuan fluctuations, quietly avoiding Shen Cheng's surveillance, and went deep into the city to find Shen Qingming and others.

Generally speaking, monks who have reached a certain level of cultivation must report in advance when they enter and leave a big city - otherwise, if those big people who can easily move mountains and reclaim the sea can casually come to a city with a population of more than one million, the management risk is too high, and once an antisocial personality appears, it may cause thousands of casualties.

And a head of a family like Li Fengyun, who has amazing strength and amazing status, has stricter restrictions on his actions, especially when visiting another city controlled by the Seven Great Families, the rules that need to be followed are extremely cumbersome, strictly speaking, Li Fengyun and Lu Xin's private visits to micro-services are seriously non-compliant.

However, it was really Shen Qingming and the others who had lost contact in Shencheng for too long, and Qingyun City's eyeliner in Shencheng was also limited, so they were unable to give back useful information. Parents are so anxious that they can't wait any longer. Therefore, it is better to violate the rules of the Xiangzhou continent than to go to Shencheng to find out.

And this exploration, sure enough, Li Fengyun discovered the traces of Shen Qingming and others - they were subjected to inhuman torture in the mansion of the deputy city lord of the inner city.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been told by Lu Xinqian to be cautious in doing things before he came, Li Fengyun was really going to rush in with a sword to save people, but it really took 100,000 points of restraint before he withdrew first to discuss the next plan with Lu Xin.

And this withdrawal met Wang Jiu, and finally did not cause trouble.

——

After a while, the three of them came to the open-air barbecue restaurant recommended by Wang Jiu, found a table in the corner and sat down.

"On the day of the birthday banquet, Shen Ruoshi arranged a marriage for Qingming and married Zhao Jincheng, the eldest son of Jin Yucheng......"

As a result, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Xin incredulously: "Marriage, marriage!?" This kind of thing was decided by Shen Ruoshi alone? He didn't ask for our opinion on Qingming's marriage!? ”

Wang Jiuqi said: "Will you agree?" ”

"Of course not!"

"Then why should I ask for your opinion?"

"What kind of logic is this?!" Lu Xin almost smashed the table in anger, which suddenly attracted the sideways glances of the boss Xiao Er and others, Lu Xin realized the gaffe, shook his head, and apologized to the boss.

The boss is also a generous person, nodded, and said to Wang Jiu: "Take care of your children." ”

Lu Xin's face turned blue on the spot, and he wanted to slap the entire barbecue restaurant with a slap, and was pulled by Li Fengyun's sleeves and forcibly suppressed his anger.

"And then?" Lu Xin asked.

Wang Jiu said: "Later, the two parties frankly exchanged each other's opinions on marriage issues, and reached an agreement on some historical issues related to Shen Yue'e. ”

It took Lu Xin a while to decipher the correct meaning: "In short, Qingming disagrees?" Yes, with her temperament, how could she agree to such a ridiculous marriage? But it's strange, is the eldest son of Jin Yucheng willing to cooperate with Shen Ruoshi's nonsense? ”

Wang Jiu said: "Zhao Jincheng fell in love with Qingming at first sight, and he fell in love with each other. ”

"Huh?" Lu Xin was taken aback, "Love at first sight? ”

"Yes, he showed great appreciation for Qingming's highly refined physical qualities, so he hit it off with Shen Ruoshi."

Lu Xin took another moment to correctly interpret the word highly refined physical quality, and suddenly his face became even more pale, his hands clenched into fists, and his bones crackled continuously.

"This damn pervert!"

Wang Jiu looked at Lu Xin a little strangely, not understanding what was perverted in appreciating the refined flesh, especially Lu Xin himself was a pretty good example of the refinement of the flesh......

"In short, Qingming didn't agree to the marriage, so Shen Ruoshi put you all under house arrest? No wonder it was lost for so long after that, so what about now? Tea, she ......"

Wang Jiu roughly explained the follow-up development, mainly including their group trying to set up an ambush to kill Zhao Jincheng with the support of the two deputy city lords, and in the predicament, Shen Ruoshi's mother Gu Yueqin appeared to end the farce.

"In other words, the current principal of Shen Cheng is Shen Yueying?"

Wang Jiu said: "From the current power structure of the City Lord's Mansion, it is indeed Shen Yueying who controls the overall situation, and the overtime documents issued to Qingming and Wanqing in the past few days are all from Shen Yueying's hands. ”

"It's actually her ......" mentioning the name Shen Yueying, Lu Xin showed a rather complicated look, but it was complicated for a long time, but he didn't get a response from the people around him, and he immediately kicked him angrily.

"The surname is Li, you don't have any opinions?"

Li Fengyun woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry I just ......."

"Distracted again!?" Lu Xin felt like he wanted to slap the table again, "Didn't you say that you are absolutely not allowed to wander during the Shencheng operation!?" ”

"No, no, I just saw an acquaintance."

"Acquaintances? Over here? Lu Xin asked curiously, "Who?" ”

"Yueying."

“…… Who? ”

"Shen Yueying." Li Fengyun repeated his full name seriously, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to a figure on the corner of the street in front of him, "It's right there." ”

Looking in the direction of Li Fengyun's finger, he saw that the deputy city lord of Shen Cheng was covering his mouth with his hands, looking at this side incredulously, his expression was as if he was about to cry, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

However, this picture was fleeting, and the next moment, Shen Yueying on the corner of the street disappeared, and the woman came to the table of the three in a blink of an eye, looking at Li Fengyun with a particularly melancholy gaze.

Li Fengyun was a little uncomfortable by this gaze, and saw that Lu Xin beside him had no intention of opening his mouth at all, so he had to exert his subjective initiative and said, "I'm sorry, there are already people at this table." ”

Shen Yueying didn't care about this sentence at all, but her gaze became more and more gentle.

It wasn't until Lu Xin felt very uncomfortable that Shen Yueying said, "Fengyun, it's been a long time." ”

Li Fengyun was silent for a moment and said: "It's a pity, you recognized the wrong person, I'm not Li Fengyun, my name is Wang Wu, and I'm from Liantian City......"

When he spoke, Li Fengyun's tone was very serious, because before he and Lu Xin set off from Qingyun City, they had been instructed by thousands of people that this trip was a secret operation, and his identity must not be exposed, so he deliberately designed an identity for himself and put on a mask to cover his face. At this time, when Shen Yueying mentioned the issue of identity, she immediately brought out the story she had carefully designed for a long time.

As a result, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Yueying: "Did I say that your name is Li Fengyun?" That Li, you don't recruit yourself. ”

Li Fengyun was silent for a moment and said: "Because someone has already mistaken me for Li Fengyun before, I will clarify like that, but I am really not Li Fengyun, I am Wang Wu, from Liantian City." ”

Shen Yueying suddenly laughed: "It's much more flamboyant than back then, in the past, if you couldn't deny it, you would only get distracted to escape from reality......"

As he spoke, the smile gradually disappeared and turned into a deep sadness.

"Sister Yue'e has really changed you a lot."

As soon as the words fell, a certain child who had been ignored by the two could no longer sit idly by.

"What does it have to do with Shen Yue? I made up all the stories for him, and I taught him to memorize them sentence by sentence when asked how to deal with flaws! ”

Shen Yueying seemed to see Lu Xin just now, lowered her head, and asked with some surprise: "Fengyun, is this your daughter born later?" ”

The blood vessels in Lu Xin's temples suddenly had a tendency to burst.

"Shen Yueying, don't pretend to be crazy and stupid!"

Shen Yueying shook her head and couldn't help laughing: "Who pretended to be crazy and stupid first?" The dignified head of the Li family, but he had to disguise himself and sneak to Shencheng, but I caught him red-handed, and he had to argue that it was even the fifth king of Tiancheng, which side do you think is more like pretending to be crazy and stupid? ”

Lu Xin snorted coldly and cleverly chose to change the topic: "What about them?" ”

Speaking of Shen Qingming, Shen Yueying was just turning color, and bowed to the two very solemnly: "On behalf of Shen Cheng, I would like to express my sincere apologies to the two of you for the matter of Qingming. Daddy is old and confused, coupled with the demons in his heart, he almost made a big mistake, and now he has stepped down from the position of city lord and punished himself to death. Next, I will act as the acting city lord to compensate for this matter on behalf of Shen Cheng, although I know that no matter what I do, it will only make amends, but I still hope to be able to obtain your forgiveness. ”

Shen Yueying's words were sincere, which moved Li Fengyun and his wife somewhat, the two of them groaned for a while, and Li Fengyun asked first: "Self-punishment and death...... Is he preparing for the Demon Tribulation? ”

Shen Yueying said with a heavy face: "Yes, this absurdity is all due to the demons induced by the obsession of the old days...... Therefore, he has to close a dead pass, and he will never leave the pass until he has completely cleared his inner demons. ”

When Li Fengyun heard this, he sighed lightly, and his anger towards Shen Ruoshi dissipated a lot.

How easy is it to completely rid your inner demons? The heart is riddled with demons, this is the normal state of immortal cultivators, monks practice for a lifetime, only to the supreme realm of breaking the void can it be possible to cultivate a perfect glass heart, before that, there will always be such and such flaws in the soul, Shen Ruoshi's death pass, I am afraid that it is really going to be closed to death.

He is only 100 years old this year, and in terms of the average lifespan of a cultivator in the Fallen Sea Realm, he is not even considered an old age, and he will still be a figure who can shake the entire Xiangzhou in the next few decades...... Now because of an absurdity, he has been exiled permanently, and this remorse and price are indeed worth sighing.

Shen Yueying said again: "Because the deputy city lord of the sea failed to stop the city lord in time in this matter, he instead added fuel to the fire and also applied for self-exile...... I didn't agree, but gave him 1 year off. In other words, in the next year, I will be the person in charge of Shen City, and you can just come to me for anything. ”

Before the two of them could chew the taste of this sentence, they heard Shen Yueying seriously suggest: "Of course, I will also strive to have more opportunities to visit Qingyun City and do my best to promote the goodwill between the two families." ”

"I don't need to!" Lu Xin replied categorically.
