"City Lord, could it be ......?!"

Glancing at the surprised guard, Fang Yutang's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and he sighed in a deep voice: "Tao Qian, you have followed me for so many years, and you have finally grown a little. ”

As he spoke, the city lord's expression became a little serious.

"Although Brother Su has always been obscure and has a very unusual style, it is not a momentary luck to suddenly enter the Jindan realm, I am afraid that there is something strange about this matter!"

Tao Qian, who looked shocked and uncertain, heard this, and his heartbeat began to speed up.

Jindan realm......

This is what countless monks dream of.

Although he is the guardian of the City Lord's Mansion, and his resources are not comparable to ordinary monks, he has also stayed in the Great Perfection of Foundation Building for many years, and Su Zhennan can make some secret breakthrough because of some unknown secret, and no one can turn a blind eye to it.

This kind of hidden truth is something that few people can expect, but it can't hide it from the eyes of the city lord at all!

Bowing down and standing beside him, Tao Qian's heart only had admiration.

After settling his mind, he clenched his fists and said: "City Lord, in this case, why don't you let your subordinates investigate the truth and ......?"

As soon as the words fell, Fang Yutang quietly watched.

Although his heart was also moved, the struggle between his eyebrows was still visible to the naked eye.

is so secretive, he also wants to know a thing or two, it is false to say that he is not tempted, but he has known Su Zhennan for many years, if there is such an act that is not open, if it is leaked out, I am afraid that it will hurt the friendship.

Tao Qian also understood the stakes, but he dutifully continued to speak: "City lord and rest assured, his subordinates will only secretly probe the truth, and will never alarm Su Zhennan......"

Fang Yutang, who was already curious, nodded reluctantly when he heard this.

After pondering for a few breaths, he continued to advise: "No matter what, he must not be discovered by Brother Su, he is now in the Jindan realm, if you follow it hastily, you will definitely not be able to hide it with your skills, don't act rashly!"

Seeing Tao Qian's solemn expression, Fang Yutang didn't say anything more.

But when he thought of the four words of Jindan's adventure, his mood was still inevitably a little expectant, although he himself had long been a Jindan powerhouse, but this kind of thing still couldn't be dealt with calmly.

What's more, his son Fang Cheng's breakthrough is imminent, if he can find out this secret, maybe it will be of great help.

This kind of selfishness is also human nature.

Seeing that Tao Qian had retreated, Fang Yutang, who was sitting alone in the garden pavilion, was still unable to calm down, and he did not feel sleepy at all, even if it was close to his son now.

The calm moonlight sprinkled the garden, but his mood was already a little chaotic.

"Jindan Adventure ......"

Whispering Su Zhennan's tight-lipped secret, Fang Yutang's heart couldn't help but speed up.

What's the secret?

Just when he was in a trance, the guards in armor strode up and made a salute.

"Qiqi City Lord, Deacon Xue Qiang of Wanbao Pavilion asks to see!"

Asking to see you so late?

It seems that Xue Qiang, who is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, already understands that he is in a worrying situation, so he came to the door late at night.

Fang Yutang nodded, and the guard left with understanding.

After a while, the bloated Xue Qiang came over panting.

The brocade dress is still as eye-catching as ever, but there is no trace of the arrogance of the past in the face, only the cloud of worry is full of sorrow.

Walking to the foot of the steps in front of the pavilion, Xue Qiang saluted with both hands very respectfully, and greeted him respectfully: "I have seen the city lord, and the incident suddenly disturbed me late at night, and I hope that the city lord will forgive me." ”

Although I don't like this fat man very much, after all, he is also a big taxpayer in the city, and there is a big backer like Wanbaoge behind him, so Fang Yutang casually made a few perfunctory official words.

"Deacon Xue is serious, you and I have been friends for many years, why do you need to be so polite, please sit down and talk in detail. It's just that I don't know if Deacon Xue came late at night ......?"

The polite questioning is still not salty or light as in the past.

But in Xue Qiang's ears, this is a good signal, since the city lord does not have an obvious attitude, there is still a trace of room for reversal in the current situation!

It's just that after Xie Li sat down, the guards around him made Xue Qiang speechless, and there was a look of jealousy in his eyes.

Fang Yutang naturally understood this obscure look.

With a slight wave of his hand, the guard sensibly bowed and retired, leaving only the two of them in the pavilion.

Slowly reaching a glass of wine, the city lord chuckled and asked: "Deacon Xue, I don't know what makes you so alarmed, there is no one else now, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Hearing this, Xue Qiang let out a long sigh.

The broad shoulders that were piled up with fat seemed to have suddenly collapsed a lot, and helpless words blurted out.

"Hey...... Don't hide it, there's something to ask for below!"

"City Lord, I guess you also see it, today Su Zhennan broke through the Jindan Realm, and the momentum spread to the whole city, and even Tianyuan Tower has received a lot of benefits, and business is inexplicably hot. ”

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I'm ...... Wanbao Pavilion"

Tianyuan Tower and Wanbao Pavilion are like fire and water, and the branch is fighting openly and secretly, this kind of thing is very common in the entire continent, even if the branch of Cangyue City fails miserably, it is reasonable.

Fang Yutang was very clear about this kind of stakes, but he didn't have any opinions.

Besides, Su Zhennan is as close to him as brothers and sisters, and he can't wait for the Tianyuanlou family to be dominant.

As for this Xue Qiang......

Life and death, honor and disgrace, do his?

However, Fang Yutang was the lord of a city after all, and his calculations in his heart couldn't be expressed, so he just comforted and spoke indiscriminately.

"Deacon Xue is too worried, Wanbao Pavilion is strong, and you still have the support of the Lin family in Qingzhou, Brother Su can't take the lead anyway. ”

Hearing this, Xue Qiang also felt a chill in his heart.

Since he came, he had already made corresponding preparations, and now he understood that the city lord would not interfere in this matter, and if this continued, the situation would be very bad, and the situation forced him to be ruthless.

Gritting his teeth, he took out a golden brocade box from his sleeve.

When both hands were offered, Xue Qiang's fleshy face was full of flattery.

"City Lord, I also know that you have a good relationship with Su Zhennan, but if you support Wanbao Pavilion in the future, you will be ...... I am willing to present these three golden yuan pills with both hands!~"

Although the tone was still annoying, this speech shocked Fang Yutang's gaze.

Keep your eyes on it......

There were indeed three golden pills lying in the opened brocade box, the medicinal fragrance was pleasant, the luster was warm.

Kim Won-dan!?

This is the rumored four-rank pill, even if it is taken by a master of the Golden Pill Realm, it will be of great benefit to cultivation!

Seeing such a treasure with his own eyes, his heart couldn't help but waver a little.

Although he said that his talent was limited, and he was afraid that he would have to stop here in this life, but his son's talent was not bad, not only the first disciple of the Cangyue Sword Sect, but also the cultivation of the tenth order of foundation building.

If you take Jin Yuan Dan in the future......

The future is limitless!

Just thinking about it, Fang Yutang's calm eyes began to become hot.

Wishing for his son to become a dragon is the wish of every father.

But if you want to betray yourself to make friends, it's definitely not what you want.

Fang Yutang, who was so distraught, didn't know what to do for a while, the current choice was more tricky than any incident he had dealt with over the years, a hundred times better!

The tangled expression was all left in Xue Qiang's eyes.

No matter how close you are like a brother, in the face of absolute interests, there is nothing that cannot be negotiated.

If there is such an opportunity, how many people in the world who are full of benevolence and righteousness can not change their faces?!

With a slight smile, Xue Qiang wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

"Lord Castle, I don't know what you think?" ~"

What do you think?~

The faintly smug tone is so disgusting.

But the Jin Yuan Pill in front of him is a real and smooth path to cultivation, once he gets such a spiritual pill, no matter how he deals with it, he will definitely benefit endlessly!

He can't ignore him.

"Whirring ......"

After just a few breaths of thought, Fang Yutang already felt that the pressure had doubled, and his breathing was a little disordered.

But after struggling for a few breaths, after all, conscience prevailed.

Even with some unspeakable regrets, Fang Yutang squirmed his throat, and the deep words still rang out.

"Deacon Xue deserves the support of the Lin family, and his handwriting is really amazing. But the matter ...... Forgive me for not agreeing, as the lord of a city, you must not act arbitrarily for your own selfish desires. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xue Qiang's smile that was about to emerge froze suddenly.

There was a look of surprise in the small eyes.

He didn't seem to expect that such a price would not be able to impress Fang Yutang!?

After staring at it unwillingly, Xue Qiang squeezed out a smile, as if he had an understanding in his heart.

This city lord is probably worried that the matter will be revealed in the future, and he will not only lose his friends, but on the other hand, he will offend Tianyuan Tower because of this.

Although he is the lord of a city, he is also helpless, and if he really wants to investigate it, a behemoth like Tianyuan Tower is not something he can deal with at all!

After thinking about this relationship, Xue Qiang's anger was suppressed a lot.

The fat face smiled.

"This matter is really not easy, if it is too late today, I will retire first. ”

"But...... I also hope that the lord of the castle will think deeply. Forgive me for saying more, don't miss the opportunity for a momentary mood!Three days later, Xue will come to visit again!~"

Fang Yutang nodded with a cold face, but until the fat body disappeared from sight, his mood did not show the slightest trace of calmness.

Interests and benevolence.

This kind of indecisive choice was suddenly placed in front of him, which made the city lord's heart tremble.

He is not a saint, although he refused, but he was still undecided in his heart, if it weren't for the arrogant appearance of Xue Qiang's villain who refused hard, I'm afraid he might have promised!

It seems that it is time for the general election of Qingzhou College.

If his son Fang Cheng's cultivation increases sharply, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope, as long as he enters Qingzhou Academy, he will definitely have a bright future, and the regret of his defeat back then can also be made up, and he will be able to smile Jiuquan after a hundred years!

But if so, wouldn't he have become a traitor seeking glory?

Exactly, what should I do?

The struggling Lord of the City sat alone in the Lan Pavilion, and his mood was more than ten times more complicated than before.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

Don't talk about the official affairs of the past, even many distinguished guests who came to visit the mansion, the city lord will never see him, and even Su Zhennan was turned away.

This anomaly has attracted a lot of discussion, but no one can understand the reason.

Su Mansion, in the study.

Su Zhennan, who was pacing back and forth, had a sad face, and a little self-blame appeared between his eyebrows.

"Brother Fang, I'm afraid you misunderstood me. ”

"However, that senior is low-key, and his identity is mysterious, and I don't know what the meaning of this spirit bird dispute is, I am afraid that this matter is very involved, how can I easily tell the truth......

Peng Baichuan stroked his beard and nodded in deep agreement.

"Yes, sir's plan, even the remnants of the Heavenly Hades Palace are playing with each other, and the stakes are ...... It's not something we can explore, and it's better to hide it!"

Hearing this, Su Zhennan felt a little relieved in his heart.

The guilt in his heart that Fang Yutang concealed also dissipated a lot, but when he remembered yesterday's trip to Qingshui Village, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

He stopped and pondered for a few breaths, and looked at his daughter Su Ruoxue with a solemn expression.

"Ruoxue, that senior seems to have a great intention of promoting the junior, and has a very happy conversation with you, according to the father's view, this gift of apology for sins is more suitable for you to bring. ”

Hearing this advice, Su Ruoxue's heartbeat suddenly increased a lot.

What is the joy of talking......

I just met Mr. by accident.,Just said a few words.,How can it be so exaggerated.,Besides.,That kind of master.,Whoever sees it is very nervous, okay!

But what she didn't expect was that even Peng Baichuan seemed to agree with this point of view.

"Well, Deacon Su is indeed meticulous. Looking back now, Mr. is indeed more cordial to Miss Su, and when he visited again, Miss Su was indeed the best candidate. ”

More intimate?

True...... Are you sure?

Sir, are you really kinder to yourself?

Su Ruoxue, whose heart was pounding, was in a mess.

Thinking back to the long and jade back, she unconsciously had a little expectation, and her heart was both nervous and hopeful.

But she also understands that she should never have any wrong thoughts, not to mention that the current gaffe is urgent, and she can't afford to have any energy to think about it at all.

Nodding, trying to calm down, he responded softly.

The daughter found out and went to visit her husband later. ”

Although the matter came to an end, Peng Baichuan was still a little uneasy, after all, the Heavenly Hades Palace was too terrifying.

"Mr. doesn't know what his identity is, he doesn't even take the Heavenly Hades Palace to heart, and he doesn't know what kind of realm he has cultivated, this thing is really ......."

Listening to the low murmur, Su Ruoxue's expression was also a lot more solemn.

The legendary terrifying force of the Heavenly Hades Palace, she couldn't imagine what it looked like in its heyday, but even the remnants that were withering now were not something that a mere golden pill could deal with.

But having said that, when Su Ruoxue thought of what she had seen and heard in the past two days, she had an indescribable confidence in that immortal figure in her heart.

"Senior Peng, since Mr. is so indifferent, he must be completely sure in his heart, as for what to plan in the future, we just need to follow Mr. 's instructions. ”

Although Peng Baichuan was still a little worried in his heart, he had to nod in agreement.

Now that they are the pawns of that person, there is no choice at all, and being able to get acquainted with that person is already a great creation, no matter life or death, honor or disgrace, there is no better choice.

Even so, the old man also secretly inquired about the news of the Heavenly Hades Palace first, and then took his leave. ”

After settling down, Peng Baichuan strode away, Su Ruoxue also put on a light veil, set off in a carriage from the back door, and went all the way out of the city gate to the west.

The thought of visiting my husband soon, my heart was full of anticipation, and I even forgot the occasional bumps in the road.

But she didn't notice it at all......

Someone had been waiting secretly for a long time, following them all the way.
