Chapter 15: I'll Run!
Early the next morning, Xiao Mu and Bai Wei came to the City Lord's Mansion, and the two of them stood on the stone lion at the door, attracting a large group of people to watch the excitement.
"What are they doing?" The people below whispered.
At this time, Long Qiusu walked out surrounded by his subordinates. She raised her eyes and looked at the two people on the stone lion on the left and right: "The courage of the two of you is really amazing!" β
"Is it the courage of the two of us that is surprising, or is it the Dragon City Lord's behavior that is surprising!" Xiao Mu looked at Long Qiusu and said provocatively.
Seeing this, everyone sighed again.
Long Qiusu glanced at the crowd in front of the door and did not speak.
"I'm going to clean them up!" Wen Xie whispered in Long Qiusu's ear.
Long Qiusu stretched out his hand to stop: "No." β
"Then let them be presumptuous here?"
Long Qiusu didn't speak, just looked at the two of them fixedly.
At this time, Xiao Mu spoke: "City Lord Long, there is something unclear in our two brothers' hearts, I don't know if the city lord can help us answer the doubts in our hearts!" Xiao Mu looked at Long Qiusu with a smile.
Long Qiusu looked up at Xiao Mu and smiled: "What's the matter?" β
Xiao Mu looked at Bai Xian, who immediately looked back at Long Qiusu and nodded slightly to show politeness, and then spoke: "As we all know, Lingyun City holds a sacrificial ceremony every ten years, and selects the holy maiden, saying that it is to help them cultivate immortals, but those girls who have been selected have never seen their families since they entered the mansion. Bai Wei paused and looked at the crowd: "Everyone knows that cultivating immortals is not an overnight thing, but during this period, my parents and daughters were turned away when they wanted to visit, why?" β
"That's it!" The crowd was also curious.
"My niece has only been elected since my eldest brother came a few times, but he was stopped outside and was not allowed to enter, my eldest brother said that he would wait outside the door for her to come out to meet, but he was also refused."
"Yes, I haven't heard from my daughter since she was elected a saint ten years ago."
The crowd began to be suspicious.
Long Qiusu looked at Bai Wei and Xiao Mu with a cold face. At this time, Xiao Mu looked at Long Qiusu and said provocatively: "Although it is a good thing to choose a saint, but the people should also have the right to know, but the Dragon City Lord directly cut off their contact with the outside world, is there some ulterior secret?" β
Seeing this, Wen Xie immediately shouted, "Presumptuousγγγγγ β
Before I could say anything, I was interrupted by Long Qiusu reaching out, Wen Xie looked at Long Qiusu and wanted to say something, but he still stopped.
Long Qiusu looked at Xiao Mu with a smile: "The two young heroes don't know, the most important thing for cultivation is to have no distractions, if I let them meet, then how can they still have the heart to practice well!" β
Everyone didn't say anything when they saw her say this, but Xiao Mu was not so easy to fool, looked at Long Qiusu and asked: "I have a distant cousin who participated in the sacrifice ceremony ten years ago, but then how did I hear that she was bled by the city lord until she died of blood?" β
Long Qiusu's face immediately changed when he heard this, and the crowd began to talk about it.
"Shaoxia heard it wrong, everyone in the City Lord's Mansion has been taken care of very well, and the daily cultivation and waiting for the rank of immortal class has never happened to the kind of thing you said, presumably all you heard are rumors!" Long Qiusu said.
"If that's the case, please ask the Dragon City Lord to prove it to us!" Bai Wei said.
"Proof?" Long Qiusu looked at Bai Wei: "How do you want me to prove it?" β
"It's easy!" Xiao Mu said: "Since the city lord said that this kind of thing did not happen, then we will still be in the city lord's mansion ten days later, you let the saints who were chosen yesterday come out and let us all meet, as long as they are all standing in front of us intact, then those rumors will naturally be self-defeating!" β
Long Qiusu looked at Xiao Mu and thought about it and agreed, "Okay! β
"City Lord!" Wen Xie looked at Long Qiusu.
"It's okay!"
Xiao Mu looked at Long Qiusu: "That word is a certainty, we will come back in ten days!" After speaking, he jumped and disappeared in front of everyone.
When everyone saw that there was nothing to see, they all dispersed consciously.
"Let's go, let's go, we'll see it again in ten days."
"yes, I have to go back and get ready to see my daughter in ten days with my motherγγγγγ"
After everyone dispersed, Wen Xie couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "City Lord, how could you γγγγγ β
"Are you trying to ask how I could have promised him!" Long Qiusu turned around and walked towards the mansion.
Wen Xie immediately followed: "The two who don't know the height of the sky, their subordinates will drive them away, why bother with them!" β
Long Qiusu sneered: "Even if he doesn't say it today, one day others will come to ask." β
"And the two of them?"
Long Qiusu stopped and gritted his teeth and said, "What if I keep them for ten more days?" But they themselves don't know if they live to get it that day! β
Wen Xie immediately understood what Long Qiusu meant: "My subordinates will do it!" β
When Long Qiusu returned to the room, the high priest was already waiting there.
"The two kids are here again?" The High Priest asked.
"I've already let Wen Xie deal with it!"
"Handle it cleanly!" After saying that, the high priest turned and left.
After the high priest left, the long pavilion in the corner outside the door also left.
==============
At this time, Xiao Mu and Bai Wei were hiding in the corner of the city.
"How long can you endure Long Qiusu?" Bai Wei asked.
Xiao Mu smiled: "I guess she is ready to kill us!" β
Bai Wei turned around and handed Xiao Mu a drawing, "Then we will still act according to the original plan." β
Xiao Mu took the drawing: "Hmm! β
And so the two parted ways.
And Wen Xie heard that these two people were in the east of the city, and he heard that they were in the west of the city, so they chased them for two days without results, so almost all the people in the entire City Lord's Mansion went out, just to find Xiao Mu and Bai Wei.
On the night of the fourth day, Xiao Mu and Bai Wei came to the City Lord's Mansion to see the Long Pavilion, and learned from the Long Pavilion that Long Qiusu's fate was hanging by a thread, and at this time, the high priest came to Lingyun City to save Long Qiusu, and it was also from that time that Lingyun City began to choose the Holy Maiden.
"In this way, it was not Long Qiusu's idea to choose the Holy Maiden, but the idea of that high priest." Xiao Mu asked Changting: "What else did you find?" β
"Nope!" Changting said, "But there is one thing! β
"What's the matter?" Xiao Mu asked.
"Every year, after the festival is over, the high priest disappears and does not appear until the day before the next ceremony, but this time he stayed in the mansion."
Xiao Mu thought for a while and said, "What are you doing every day?" β
"Every day we just read books, and then eat and drink, and someone brings them over!" Changting said.
"What about the others?" Bai Wei asked.
Changting thought for a while and said, "Nothing else, but in the past two days, we have begun to divide rooms according to our birthdays." β
"Divided rooms?" Bai Wei asked puzzledly: "Why do you want to divide the room?" β
"I don't know." But listen to the steward, "If you are born well, you will have a good life!" β
"What does it mean to have a good life if you have a good life?" Xiao Mu asked.
Changting shook his head: "I don't know, I also listened to the casual words of the person in charge." β
"Is there any difference between your rooms?" Xiao Mu asked again.
"It doesn't seem to make a difference!" Changting said, "But some rooms have tokens in them, and some don't. β
"Do you have a room then?" Bai Wei asked.
Changting shook his head: "No, but γγγγγ β
"Shh~" Xiao Mu interrupted Changting's words: "There are people here, you go back first!" β
Bai Wei stepped forward only to find that it was the high priest in front of him: "Why is he here?" β
"Follow along!" Xiao Mu turned his head to Changting and said, "Let's go over and have a look, you go back first, don't be discovered!" β
Changting nodded and turned to leave.
The two quietly followed behind the High Priest.
"Secret room?" The two followed the high priest to the door of the secret room.
"I've been looking for so long, so it's here!" As he spoke, he turned to look at Xiao Mu: "Do you want to go in and have a look?" β
"It's all here, so let's go in and have a look!" At this time, Long Qiusu appeared behind the two.
Xiao Mu and Bai Wei looked back at Long Qiusu and the long pavilion that she had caught. Long Qiusu looked at Changting and sneered: "I didn't expect you two to have internal help!" β
"If you don't want her to die, go in!" After speaking, he took the long pavilion into the secret room.
============
In the secret room, Xiao Mu looked at the stunned Changting and said, "What do you want to do?" β
The high priest ignored Xiao Mu and turned around and ordered Long Qiusu: "Deal with it!" With that, he walked deeper into the chamber.
Just when the High Priest thought that this was the end of the matter.
A violent tremor made him change his opinion of Xiao Mu.
The High Priest immediately turned back after standing firm, and when he returned, he saw Long Qiusu spitting blood and lying on the ground.
Bai Wei also looked at Xiao Mu in shock, it was hard to imagine that a fifteen-year-old boy would have such a cultivation.
The high priest glanced at Long Qiusu on the ground: "It seems that I underestimated you!" β
Xiao Mu looked at the high priest: "I also look up to her!" β
"High Priest. Long Qiusu didn't finish what he wanted to say, and fainted.
"It's so interesting!" The high priest looked at Xiao Mu: "There is such a cultivation at such an age, if you can't use it for me, then I must not keep you." β
Xiao Mu didn't speak, just slowly moved to Bai Wei's side and looked straight at the high priest.
Xiao Mu smiled: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, because... Xiao Mu paused and turned around: "I can run!" After speaking, he pulled the white danger and started running: "The white danger runs, we can't beat him!" β
The High Priest sneered: "It's very self-aware!" After saying that, he flew out of the secret room and chased after the two.
As soon as the two of them ran to the courtyard, they were caught up by the high priest and blocked their way.
And the high priest who caught up with the two didn't say much, and directly knocked the two to the ground with a wave of his hand.
Xiao Mu clutched his chest and coughed a few times: "What kind of unsightly deed did the high priest do, we didn't see anything and were so unforgiving!" β
The high priest looked at Xiao Mu through the mask: "It's really sharp!" β
"Even if it's death, let's make it clear that we're dying." Bai Wei looked at the high priest.
The high priest looked at the two of them condescendingly: "I can tell you, but I want to know more about how you injured Long Qiusu, after all, she is also in the Kaiyang realm, how can she be easily defeated by two little dolls!" β
Xiao Mu didn't say anything and looked at the high priest.
The High Priest stretched out his hand to probe and was surprised to find that Xiao Mu's cultivation was actually only the first order of Tianshu.
"You're a Tianshu?" The High Priest was a little surprised, a small Tianshu injured Long Qiusu in the Kaiyang Realm in an instant, it was really interesting.
"Tianshu?" Bai Wei was also shocked, but the momentum around him just now was not like what a Tianshu should have.
Seeing that the high priest was distracted, Xiao Mu pulled Bai Wei and disappeared in an instant.
The high priest looked at the empty ground and gritted his teeth and said, "Look for death!" After saying that, he disappeared.
