This turning point was led by the old lady of the Rong family.

One evening, when it was dark, and after separating from Rong Shiruo, Ling Jun returned to the small courtyard where he was temporarily staying, and saw the city guard who was said to be a good man.

His expression was cold, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen black-clothed people flew out from the rooftop, trees, and corners, and restrained Lingjun with one face.

"Take it away!"

Under the unified order, the man in black put a black hood on Lingjun's head, and then took her to another place.

The process was silent, and Rong Shiruo in the courtyard next door didn't hear anything at all.

A moment later, the hood on Lingjun's head was pulled off, and she squinted around to find herself in a gloomy dungeon, where the dim candle flame faintly shone through the blood on the walls and floor, and rows of horrific torture instruments placed in the darker places on the other side.

Ling Jun struggled according to the routine for a while, and said angrily: "You actually arrested your city lord's friend to the prison cell without authorization, are you going to rebel?"

Du Tong sneered, "What a friend, it's just an unpopular thing." ”

This reaction was also expected by Lingjun, after all, if Rong Shiruo had been eating, drinking, and having fun with her every day recently, it was normal for the rest of the Rong clan to be dissatisfied, but with her observation during this time, everyone was unified, and she really didn't dare to offend the majesty of Rong Shiruo, the city lord, at will.

There is only one person who dares to do such a thing - Mrs. Rong.

However, there was still one thing that was a bit unexpected by Lingjun - when Dutong brought someone to arrest her, her cultivation was inexplicably sealed.

Obviously, this is Rong Shiruo's handiwork.

Old Madam Rong came to the dungeon with the support of the maid, and looked coldly at her who had been tied to the torture rack with a pair of emotionless eyes, "It's you, the villain, who broke Shi Ruo." ”

Lingjun was silent, thinking, "This line is too familiar, I seem to have heard it a few times in kindergarten." ”

"Why, don't you dare to speak?" Old Madam Rong sneered, "For the sake of Shi Ruo's friend, I can also give you a chance to choose - either you will leave today and will not be allowed to set foot in Xihe City again in this life, or you will stay in this dungeon forever." ”

Ling Jun was silent, and Old Madam Rong didn't urge, she only glanced at her again, and immediately said to Du Tong: "When she chooses it, you will deal with it." ”

After that, she left.

Du Tong was not in a hurry to ask for an answer, but walked over to the torture equipment, concentrating on how to use the torture equipment, and from time to time he looked at Lingjun with a compassionate gaze, as if he was going to use them on her at any time.

Ling Jun frowned slightly, as if he was still struggling with choosing a friend or choosing a life, but in fact, his mind had already flown to Rong Shiruo.

As a spirit clan who was forced to have some paranoia of being killed by the dangerous environment of the mountain and sea realm, Lingjun would not fight unprepared battles, and would compulsively make all kinds of backup plans before the war - and now, this good habit saved her again.

After living in the City Lord's Mansion and knowing that the internal situation of the Rong clan was quite complicated, she thought that she might encounter this kind of thing today, so in addition to the puppet body she was using now, she also left a wood spirit puppet in the corner of the City Lord's Mansion.

There is a wisp of her divine thought in the puppet, and if necessary, that wisp of divine thought can control the puppet and go to Rong Shiruo.

Now, the Wood Spirit Puppet has arrived in Rong Shiruo's house.

"Shi Ruo. Lingjun stood outside the screen and called softly.

Rong Shiruo had just fallen asleep, and woke up when he heard the voice, and said strangely: "Ximing, why are you here?"

He knew that Yan Ximing was a chivalrous person, and he usually didn't follow the rules very well, and he was not surprised that she suddenly ran into his house.

Stepping out of bed and putting on his coat, he walked around the screen, he saw a somewhat stiff Yan Ximing, and couldn't help but wonder, "Ximing, what's wrong with you?"

Ling Jun said: "This is one of my puppet bodies, I am now caught by the old lady in a dungeon, she asked me to choose whether to leave Xihe City or die in the dungeon." ”

Rong Shiruo froze suddenly.

He wasn't surprised or frightened by the first sentence, when he heard Yan Ximing tell so many stories, especially the story of Yin Shang, he guessed that this newfound friend could survive in such a world where gods and demons were rampant, and he must have the ability to save his life - their Rong clan also had some magical secret arts.

The puppet technique is also reasonable.

Rong Shiru was frightened by the second half of the sentence, he didn't expect the old lady to actually attack his friend.

Lingjun stared at him, "What do you want me to choose?"

"I ......" Rong Shiruo opened his mouth and couldn't say anything.

After hearing Ximing's question, he knew that Ximing must have been very disappointed in him, and he never thought that he would save him—but he did guess correctly, he did not dare to go against the old lady.

"You leave Xihe City. Rong Shiruo hung his head, not daring to look at her, "It's me who has burdened you, if you want to blame me, it's all my fault." ”

Lingjun thought to himself, of course it's all your fault.

It's just a dream world, and everything in the dream is a real fantasy of Rong Shiruo, under his control.

Old Madam Rong took Ling Jun away, probably because she had done something similar in reality, causing Rong Shiruo to subconsciously think that she would not let him have friends.

But it is also possible that Mrs. Rong is just a manifestation of the evil thoughts in his heart, and the real Rong Shiruo doesn't need friends, even if he is in a dream, he vaguely realizes that something is wrong, so he uses Mrs. Rong to do the black.

Ling Jun also figured it out, this is probably because she brushed her favorability too quickly, and she was gradually approaching the critical point where Rong Shiruo could tell the secret, and the real Rong Shiruo subconsciously hesitated and struggled, not only wanting to erase her, a messy guy, but also greedy for the warmth from her friends - so he also gave her a way out.

What Lingjun has to do now is to follow this path of life.

"Do you really want me to leave?" her tone was vaguely angry, "I treat you as a friend, and that's how you did to me?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Rong Shiruo almost cried.

However, the current Lingjun is a ruthless demon king who "I don't listen, I don't listen", and he didn't pay attention to his apology at all, "I am a person from the rivers and lakes, I will not stay in one place for a long time, and I will leave Xihe City sooner or later - but I also have dignity and will not let myself be driven out in disgrace!"

Rong Shiruo raised his head and glanced at her, with tears in his eyes, very pitiful, "Ximing, I don't dare, I'm afraid of her, she's too terrible......"

"Are you really, don't you even have the courage to resist Old Madam Rong a little for the sake of your friend?" Ling Jun pressed his shoulder and forced him to keep looking at him, "You are the lord of Xihe City!

"I don't dare ......"

Ling Jun's tone was full of loss, "You dare to sneak out to play, and disobey Old Madam Rong's teachings, but you don't dare to come to see your friend's last face?"
