So, Gu Qingxi said: "I will go to the City Lord's Mansion to investigate and find out if there is any news about Xiatian and the others."
"What about me?" Huo Xiaodao pointed at himself. He knew that following Gu Qingxi now was a drag, but he still didn't want to be separated from Gu Qingxi.
"Just wait for me here." Gu Qingxi looked at the eager Huo Xiaodao and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will come back to you soon. I will be fine."
Huo Xiaodao nodded aggrievedly, with reluctance in his eyes.
Gu Qingxi took out a piece of silver and gave it to Zheng Yuan and the others: "Protect the knife and don't let him starve. Use this money to buy him something to eat."
Zheng Yuan and Kong Tian were both stunned. They didn't expect that this human female cultivator was so interested in the young master.
Both of them nodded vigorously.
"I will take you out. The premise is that you protect your sword. And after you go out, Territory Lord Huo will reward you." Gu Qingxi said with a somewhat cold tone.
Zheng Yuan and Kong Tian nodded vigorously again, both of them understood the meaning of Gu Qingxi's words.
She took them out only if they could protect Huo Xiaodao, and it would be a great achievement after they got out.
If they failed to protect Huo Xiaodao, then...
Gu Qingxi gave Huo Xiaodao a small bag and told him that it contained healing elixirs and some broken silver before leaving.
Huo Xiaodao touched the small porcelain bottle and broken silver in the bag with mixed emotions.
Gu Qingxi is really good. She is completely different from the cunning and cruel humans her brothers and sisters talk about!
As a powerful sea clan, he actually relies on humans for protection, and he is also a human woman. He doesn't want to be like this.
After he gets out, he will work hard to practice and become stronger, so that he can protect Gu Qingxi in the future!
Gu Qingxi was walking on the street and saw people who looked like guards rushing forward quickly. She shouted at passers-by to get out of their way.
Gu Qingxi stood on the roadside, listening to the people next to her talking in low voices.
"There are outsiders again."
"You can tell at a glance that outsiders are causing trouble."
"It's really annoying. Why are the foreigners who just came here so desperate?"
"It doesn't matter, you'll know after a good beating."
"No, some people need to be beaten several times."
"It seems that some strange-looking foreigners have come in this time. There seems to be quite a lot of them."
"That's not a good idea. A lot more people can work."
"Yes, the city lord wants to hold a grand event, which does require a lot of work."
…
After listening to these words, Gu Qingxi guessed that this secret realm was controlled by the city lord. The strange spiritual fluctuations in the sea this time should be controlled by the city lord, attracting many sea tribesmen to come to investigate.
Then the city lord opened the secret realm and sucked all these sea people in.
And the reason, could it be because of Bo Lanyan's smile?
Are you arresting more sea people to prepare for the so-called grand event?
Gu Qingxi felt that her idea was outrageous, but there seemed to be some basis for it.
After all, from the stories told by the two sea tribesmen, Gu Qingxi deduced that the female city lord was a wanton hedonist who could choose a groom every year and now dismissed her "harem" for the sake of a stunningly beautiful man. It was not surprising that she would do such a thing.
Gu Qingxi continued walking along the main road and saw the previous guards beating up the Sea Tribe who was involved this time.
The looks of these sea tribesmen are a bit eye-catching.
However, the onlookers around seemed to have long been accustomed to the strange looks of these sea people.
There was no look of fear or curiosity on their faces, but rather contempt and disgust.
Gu Qingxi just glanced here from a distance, then turned and left.
The City Lord's Mansion is actually easy to find because it is very conspicuous.
In the center of the city, the tallest and most conspicuous building must be the City Lord's Mansion.
On the way to the city lord's mansion, Gu Qingxi met an acquaintance.
It's Zhao Yiyi.
Zhao Yiyi stood at the corner of the street, frowning and looking sharply at the City Lord's Mansion in front of him.
Gu Qingxi was approaching, but he didn't notice it yet.
Obviously, Zhao Yiyi is also a mortal now.
"Zhao Yiyi." Gu Qingxi called out.
Zhao Yiyi was shocked and turned around suddenly. When he saw it was Gu Qingxi, he relaxed.
But after he saw that Gu Qingxi was alone, his face darkened: "Where is Huo Xiaodao?"
"I met the guard who disappeared before. Now I am with two guards. Don't worry." Gu Qingxi replied.
Zhao Yiyi frowned and remained silent, as if judging the authenticity of Gu Qingxi's words.
"Where is he? I'll go find him." Zhao Yiyi was obviously still worried about Huo Xiaodao.
After all, in his opinion, Huo Xiaodao is stupid, weak and loves to cry. If no one protects him, he doesn't know how scared Huo Xiaodao will be.
"At the very edge of the west of the city, the two sea tribes who take care of him are named Zheng Yuan and Kong Tian." Gu Qingxi answered.
Gu Qingxi originally thought that she had said that Zhao Yiyi would go find Huo Xiaodao, but when Zhao Yiyi heard what Gu Qingxi said, he stopped going.
"Okay, then I won't go." Zhao Yiyi nodded.
Gu Qingxi: "???" What is this kid doing?
"Since you can name the two guards, it seems that what you said is true. Then Huo Xiaodao should be fine. Are you here to check out the city lord's mansion?" Zhao Yiyi asked after explaining.
Gu Qingxi: "..." This child is indeed a tsundere. I don't know if others are tired of dealing with him.
Before Gu Qingxi could answer, Zhao Yiyi said to himself: "When I arrived here, I found that the people here were divided into three, six or nine grades, and outsiders were the lowest. The Hai Clan who had lost their cultivation were enslaved here.
They were oppressed, and if they resisted the slightest, they would be severely beaten or even killed.
And this city lord is actually the only person with cultivation level.
I guess the secret realm is also controlled by her.
So I want to come to the City Lord’s Mansion to check it out.”
After hearing this, Gu Qingxi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhao Yiyi with admiration.
There is no harm without comparison.
Comparing the wise and calm Zhao Yiyi with the silly and sweet Huo Xiaodao, the result of the comparison is really tragic.
However, Gu Qingxi still prefers Huo Xiaodao who has a sincere heart.
"I am also suspicious, so I want to go to the City Lord's Mansion to check it out. Either you wait here, or you go to Huo Xiaodao's place and wait. I'll go in and check it out," Gu Qingxi said.
She was not worried that Zhao Yiyi, who had lost his cultivation, entered the city lord's palace rashly.
"What do you mean? Look down on me?" Zhao Yiyi's face darkened and he asked with a frown.
"Yes." Gu Qingxi nodded, unusually direct.
Zhao Yiyi choked and gritted his teeth and was about to get angry when Gu Qingxi said in a serious tone: "You didn't notice that I was approaching you just now. What qualifications do you have to sneak into the mansion? I think you will find out as soon as you enter, and then you will be beaten to death.
Don't blame me for speaking harshly, don't you think what I said is the truth?"
With the previous lecherous temper of the city lord, if he caught a handsome young man like Zhao Yiyi, he might still stay. But now the city lord only wants to please the stunningly handsome man. If he doesn't keep it, he will really beat Zhao Yiyi to death for breaking into the city lord's mansion.
But when she thought that the stunningly handsome man might be Senior Brother Ye, Gu Qingxi felt slightly uncomfortable.
