Looking at Gu Qingxi's shocked and incomprehensible expression, Ye Wuchen chuckled and said, "How many outrageous rumors have you heard?"
Gu Qingxi said with a dazed look on her face: "There are rumors outside that this city lord chooses a groom every year, and the people are proud to be chosen as her groom.
She said that there are already many husbands in her city lord's house.
But because there was an outsider with handsome appearance and outstanding temperament, her soul was taken away.
So the city lord dismissed all the husbands in the house for him.
I also want to hold a grand party for this beautiful man, just to make him smile.
The beautiful man was imprisoned in the city lord's palace, and he treated the city lord without pretense, but the city lord didn't care, but treated him with courtesy, hoping to move him with his true feelings."
Listening to these words, Ye Wuchen could remain calm at first, but later the expression on his face became a little cracked. It didn't matter to others who heard these messy rumors, but when Qingxi heard them, Ye Wuchen felt that he couldn't bear it.
.
Gu Qingxi looked at Ye Wuchen's expression and knew that the rumors outside were probably very outrageous compared to the truth.
So Gu Qingxi asked: "Senior Brother Ye, what is the truth of the matter?"
Ye Wuchen said in a deep voice: "It seems that something happened in Huanghai during this period. Some sea tribes may have encountered something terrible. Some of the survivors fled to Donghua State, but many also suffered from mental breakdown.
So let me check it out.
But I found that this secret realm has no connection with that incident.
It’s just that there is a powerful force in this secret realm, and I want to explore it as well.”
"So Senior Brother Ye was not forced to stay here, but you stayed in the City Lord's Mansion to investigate on your own?" Gu Qingxi asked.
"Yes, she is no match for me, so she can only let me investigate in the city lord's mansion." Ye Wuchen nodded.
When Gu Qingxi heard this answer, she wanted to laugh a little.
Therefore, the reason why Senior Brother Ye can move around freely in the City Lord's Mansion is not because he is very favored according to the rumors, but because the City Lord cannot defeat Senior Brother Ye at all and has no choice but to let him go.
And Senior Brother Ye is like the second owner of the City Lord's Mansion. He wanders around the City Lord's Mansion at will, which makes the City Lord extremely heartbroken.
No wonder there is no one around Senior Brother Ye.
"This city lord is actually an evil cultivator. When she chooses a husband every year, she is actually choosing a suitable body to seize her body.
But she has never found a suitable body, so she can only rely on the power of the secret realm to survive.
These husbands were all drained of their essence by her because their bodies were not suitable for her.
And the so-called severance is even more untrue.
Because these men have long been sucked dry and turned into white bones, how can they be dismissed?
Also, the so-called grand event probably requires the lives of many people to activate some kind of formation, just to trap me and take away my body."
Ye Wuchen told Gu Qingxi the truth of the matter in a calm tone.
Gu Qingxi looked nervous when she heard the last part: "She is already implementing this plan. Brother Ye, do you have any countermeasures?"
You should also know that a formation that requires the lives of many people to be activated must be extremely sinister and powerful. However, Senior Brother Ye is a mortal who cannot use his spiritual power. No matter how superb his swordsmanship is, he will not be able to face such a vicious and powerful formation.
, and I’m afraid it’s difficult to find a way to deal with it.
"She doesn't know that I know everything, don't worry, I can handle it." Ye Wuchen looked at the nervous look on Gu Qingxi's face, and felt soft in his heart.
Gu Qingxi felt a little relieved when she heard what Ye Wuchen said.
"Then, is there anything that Senior Brother Ye needs me to do?" Gu Qingxi asked.
"Yes." Ye Wuchen nodded, "I have found out where the core of this secret realm is, but there is a formation seal. I need your help to see if I can unlock this seal." As for Gu Qingxi's formation spell,
Ye Wuchen has absolute confidence.
Gu Qingxi nodded: "Where is the core?"
"Under a pavilion ten miles outside the city. Unlocking this seal may be the key to whether we can get out of the secret realm." Ye Wuchen answered.
"Then let's go take a look now?" Gu Qingxi asked. If we can get out of this secret realm in this way, it will save a lot of trouble. It takes a lot of effort to blow up the secret realm using the old method, and the key is to spend a lot of money!
Ye Wuchen nodded slightly and led Gu Qingxi towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Along the way, I met the guards and maids from the city lord's mansion.
After seeing Ye Wuchen, these maids and guards all saluted Ye Wuchen, but their salutes were very perfunctory and their eyes were full of contempt.
Gu Qingxi understood that these people regarded Senior Brother Ye as the city lord's future husband, that is to say, as the next love interest. The city lord probably didn't have a very good attitude towards those husbands, so these servants naturally followed suit.
, it’s just that I didn’t dare to show disdain directly due to my status.
However, these servants were stunned when they saw a strange and beautiful girl following behind Ye Wuchen.
One of the maids had already rushed to report to the city lord.
The expressions of the guards looking at Ye Wuchen had changed, with shock and disgust in their eyes, as if they couldn't believe that the city lord's future husband would dare to betray the city lord.
More guards got the news and gathered around, all looking at Ye Wuchen angrily.
One of the guards asked: "Young Master is already getting married to our City Lord, how can he be so close to other women? And who is this woman? Why does she appear in our City Lord's Mansion?"
If it weren't for the City Lord's special instructions not to be rude to this young master, they would have already stepped forward to catch the woman, and even wanted to arrest the heartless man who dared to betray the City Lord!
Gu Qingxi understood as soon as she heard that the city lord had not told the truth to his servants. Those outrageous rumors outside were probably made up and spread by the city lord himself.
The city lord wanted to know why he did this.
Is it better to continue to create a loving persona than to tell the truth?
If it’s true, you, the city lord, can’t defeat that new foreigner...
The impact and consequences would be unimaginable for the city lord.
Faced with these questions, Ye Wuchen just gave the other party a cold look and did not answer. Instead, he took Gu Qingxi's hand and continued walking forward.
Gu Qingxi was startled, then followed Ye Wuchen forward, but her eyes unconsciously fell on Ye Wuchen's hand holding hers.
She had never noticed that Ye Wuchen's fingers had distinct joints, were slender and white.
Ye Wuchen's hands are beautiful and warm...
Seeing Ye Wuchen's behavior, the questioning guard couldn't bear it any longer and drew his sword and struck at Ye Wuchen.
Ye Wuchen didn't even look at him. He drew out his sword with his other hand and struck the guard with the sword.
With just an understatement of the sword, the guard and everyone behind him were knocked away.
Blood splattered, swords were broken, and a group of guards lay on the ground, vomiting blood and unable to get up again.
Even if Ye Wuchen can't use his spiritual power, he is still a strong man that people look up to.
From the beginning to the end, Ye Wuchen never let go of Gu Qingxi's hand.
