Slightly surprised in his heart, Lingkun said, "Please come in." ”

The door was slowly pushed open, looking at the majestic man who pushed the door and walked in, Lingkun was obviously stunned: Why is the city lord here?

From Lingkun staying in the City Lord's Mansion until now, the City Lord has not been here once, and Lingkun has only seen the City Lord once during the first meal, and now, the City Lord actually came to his room alone, thinking of the reminder of Master Qi in the white room, Lingkun was secretly vigilant in his heart.

Lingkun hurriedly sat up from the couch, bowed and saluted, and shouted, "Uncle." ”

"Hehe, don't be polite, Lingkun, you live in the house for a long time, I haven't had time to see you because I'm busy with things, and today is a rare time, I'm here, I hope you don't mind." Are you satisfied with your stay in the mansion?" said the city lord with some mildness.

"Where's it! The boy's stay in the mansion has caused you a lot of trouble, uncle, how can you mind! Besides, the conditions in the mansion are very superior, how can I not be satisfied, uncle, you are too polite!" Lingkun hurriedly said.

"That's fine, I'm here to see if you're used to living in the house, and second, I hope you'll consider some of the things I've said. ”

"Oh, what's the matter? ”

"I hope you can join the City Lord's Mansion. The city lord knocked on the table and said to Lingkun, who was sitting opposite.

Lingkun was silent when he heard this, and did not answer immediately.

Seeing Lingkun silent, the city lord continued: "Not to mention anything else, with your cultivation talent and my full cultivation, I believe that you will definitely be able to go far in the future." I know the grievances between you and Liu Ze, but I promise you, if you join the City Lord's Mansion, not to mention Liu Ze, even Liu Dao, I won't dare to touch you in the slightest! Moreover, I can feel that you and Rui'er have a good impression of each other, and when the time comes, I can make the decision and marry Rui'er to you!"

Taking a slow breath, Lingkun had already guessed the intentions of some city lords, but he didn't expect that the city lord was so courageous, and even his daughter Yarui was promised to be married to him.

Slightly silent, Lingkun raised his head, met the eyes of the city lord, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you uncle for your kindness, but, I'm sorry, forgive me!"

"Why?" the gentleness on the city lord's face disappeared, and a majesty of a long-time high-ranking person emerged, and he asked lightly.

"Hehe, the kid is used to being idle alone, but he is not used to joining any forces, besides, I won't stay in Blackstone Town for a long time, so I can only refuse your kindness, uncle. ”

"Don't you think about it anymore? After all, if nothing else, if you join the City Lord's Mansion, I can at least keep you safe now. The lord of the city said, pointingly.

Lingkun smiled and said with great certainty: "Uncle Xie is kind, but the kid has really decided." ”

At this point, the city lord couldn't say anything, and the atmosphere between the two became a little awkward.

In the middle of the sound, the city lord stood up and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and I won't force you, since you don't want to join, then forget it." If you change your mind in the future, you can come to me at any time, and I won't bother you today. With that, he turned and went outside.

got up to see the city lord leave, and saw the city lord's back disappear from sight, Lingkun closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, boy, can you really bear to refuse? I think that girl named Yarui is very good, face, figure, tsk, all of them are the best! And I think she seems to be quite interesting to you, it's a pity to miss it!" Xiao Yan's slightly joking voice resounded in Lingkun's heart.

Lingkun rolled his eyes and said, "I said Xiao Yan, in terms of age, you can probably be regarded as the kind of person who is so old that you lose your teeth, why do you still look like you are old and disrespectful?"

Xiao Yan coughed dryly when he heard this, and said: "Uh, okay, I'm not kidding you, tell me, why do you refuse, I think it's not a good choice for you to join the City Lord's Mansion at the moment." ”

"Perhaps, but for me, joining a force can actually be said to be an extra burden, you know, I now have so many precious things on my body, whether it is you as a strange spirit, or the secret method given to me by Master Qi, the ring of the soul store, etc., the consequences caused by any of these words are not something that a small city lord's mansion in Blackstone Town can bear. Of course, the most important reason, that is, I don't trust it. ”

"Don't you believe in the lord of the city?"

"No, it's not just the city lord, it's anyone else!"

Feeling the coldness in Lingkun's words, Xiao Yan was silent for a moment before he said: "You have obtained the Awakening Stone of the Caste, no matter whether you join other forces or not, the most important thing now is to awaken the Affiliation Cast and become a cultivator, at that time, you can initially borrow my power, and you can be regarded as having a trace of self-preservation." However, the process of awakening is very important, and it must not be disturbed by anything, and I can feel that the movement of your awakening should be not small, and you do not trust others, so I suggest that you go out of the city and find a safe place where no one is around. ”

"Well, of course I know that, I originally planned to do so, which is why I have been useless until now when I got the Awakening Stone. I'm ready to leave the city tomorrow. Lingkun said.

"Well, it's fine to decide for yourself, but by the way, if you go out of the city, you have to be careful with Yanagisawa and them, I guess they should be looking forward to your departure from the city now. ”

Sneering and nodding, Lingkun didn't say anything.

・・・・・・

Looking at the night, which looked very soft under the moonlight, Lingkun walked out of the door, summoned a maid, and under the strange eyes of the maid, asked the location of Yarui's room, and walked towards Yarui's room.

On the way, Lingkun touched his nose a little embarrassed, it was so late, and he also asked Yarui about the location of the room, and it fell in the eyes of the maid, it was probably a little ambiguous, Lingkun thought in his heart.

Slowly walked to the position pointed by the maid, looking at the fluorite light that lit up slightly in the room, Lingkun knocked lightly on the door and asked, "Rui'er, are you sleeping?"

There was a slight sound of footsteps in the room, and then the door was slowly opened, looking at Lingkun standing outside the door, Yarui was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Lingkun, is there something wrong with it so late?"

Lingkun nodded, smiled and said, "Well, there is something, but should you invite me in to sit down, anyway, it is the first time for me to come to your room." ”

Yarui gave Lingkun a blank look before reaching out to let Lingkun enter the room.

Sitting on the wooden bench in the middle of the room, Lingkun reached out and took a cup of herbal tea handed by Yarui, and then carefully looked at Yarui's room: the room was very neatly placed and looked very neat, some petite beds were stacked with a layer of white quilts, and there were a few books next to the pillows on the bed, and there was a faint fragrance lingering in the room, giving people a very fresh feeling.

Moving his gaze to Ya Rui, who was sitting opposite, Ling Kun found that perhaps because Ya Rui was in her own room, Ya Rui was dressed very casually, wrapped in a slightly tight plain dress, and draped in a white light veil on the outside. Somewhat amazed at Yarui's perfection, Lingkun found that no matter where he looked at it, he couldn't find a single flaw in Yarui.

Slowly exhaling and retracting his gaze, Lingkun smiled and said, "Rui'er, I came tonight to say goodbye to you." ”

"Farewell?" The two simple words made De Yarui's pretty face change slightly.
