Chapter 60 The Eldest Lady of the City Lords Mansion
"Who are you?"
In the city lord's mansion, Xiao Nuo, who was about to go out, was suddenly grabbed by the corner of his clothes.
When he turned around, he saw a frail little girl.
The girl is petite and looks to be in her early teens. Her long hair is messy. She is wearing a long blue and white dress with bare feet. She is holding a puppet-like toy in one hand and holding it with the other.
On Xiao Nuo's clothes, if the sky had been darker, she would have made everyone's scalp numb from the shock just now...
"Are you from the City Lord's Mansion?"
Seeing that the other party was silent, Xiao Nuo asked again, this time with a slightly softer tone.
After all, the other person is still a child.
The girl didn't speak, she just stared at Xiao Nuo.
Xiao Nuo was a little speechless.
Is the other party mute?
"Little sister, I still have something to do, you can go find your adults..." Xiao Nuo did not intend to get entangled with the other party.
But she seemed to be at loggerheads with Xiao Nuo. No matter what, she would not let go. One small hand was like a claw, grabbing the corner of Xiao Nuo's clothes and not letting go.
"Do you know who I am?" Xiao Nuo knelt down so that his eyes were at the same height as the other person.
Xiao Nuo thought that she might have recognized the wrong person, so she held on to him.
The little girl finally responded and nodded blankly at Xiao Nuo.
Xiao Nuo was stunned, "Do you know me?"
The other party shook his head again.
Xiao Nuo was already confused. He held the other person's little hand and tried to get her to let go of her fingers.
"I have something else to do and I don't have time to mess around with you here..."
But the other party's fingers were as if they were embedded in Xiao Nuo's clothes, and they refused to move away no matter what.
Xiao Nuo's voice was slightly cold, "If I use too much force, your fingers will be broken by me."
As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl immediately let go of her hand, then turned around and hid behind the rockery.
Xiao Nuo thought his "threat" had worked, so he stood up, smiled, and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps in the corridor not far away.
I saw several guards from the City Lord's Mansion searching for something.
Later, two other guards met them.
"How is it? Have you found the eldest lady?"
"not yet."
"Look for it quickly, it will be dark soon."
"..."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Seeing the guards of the City Lord's Mansion leaving in a hurry in front of him, Xiao Nuo couldn't help but look at the rockery not far behind him.
Miss?
The old city lord of Yanbeishan has no children and only one granddaughter.
She is the only one who can be called "Eldest Lady" by the City Lord's Mansion.
Xiao Nuo couldn't help but recall the basic situation of the City Lord's Mansion mentioned by Ouyang Rong and Xiang Dongliu on the first day he arrived at Holy Tree City.
The old city lord of Yanbeishan has only one granddaughter, who is only fifteen years old. She is timid by nature and rarely appears in front of outsiders.
Yan Beishan's wish to train his granddaughter as his successor is difficult to realize.
The little girl just now seemed to be timid by nature. Even though she was clinging to the corner of Xiao Nuo's clothes, the nervousness in her eyes could not be concealed.
But the old city lord of Yanbeishan
The granddaughter is fifteen years old, and the little girl looks only eleven or twelve years old, so there is a slight age difference.
Of course, it does not rule out that the other person is small.
In addition, Xiang Dongliu and Ouyang Rong have never met the granddaughter of the old city lord, so there are errors in this information.
"never mind……"
Xiao Nuo thought, this is none of his business.
But just a few moments after Xiao Nuo turned around, the familiar feeling came again.
"I..." Xiao Nuo felt his blood pressure rising, and the other party grabbed the corner of his clothes again.
Seeing that Xiao Nuo seemed to be angry, the little girl bit her lip stubbornly, her big eyes full of innocence.
It feels like I'm scared, but I just won't let go.
Xiao Nuo suppressed his anger: "Are you the granddaughter of the old city lord of Yanbeishan?"
The other person nodded.
Xiao Nuo was able to confirm, and then said, "They are looking for you, I will take you to the old city lord..."
The other party shook his head quickly.
"Then what do you mean by pestering me? I don't owe you anything." Xiao Nuo said seriously.
The little girl put the puppet toy in her other hand under her arm, grabbed the hand at the corner of Xiao Nuo's clothes, and refused to let go.
Then, she pointed in a direction with her free hand, and then looked at Xiao Nuo with her big innocent eyes.
"Huh?" Xiao Nuo frowned slightly and asked tentatively, "You want to take me somewhere?"
The little girl nodded repeatedly.
She said that Xiao Nuo finally understood what she meant.
Xiao Nuo was a little confused, the other party was really weird.
Where is she taking herself?
And why are you looking for yourself?
Although he possesses an 'ancient bronze body', this is someone else's territory after all. If he encounters any conspiracy, he may still be missing arms and legs.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Nuo asked extremely seriously, "Do you really know me?"
The little girl's lips moved, and then she uttered a vague voice, "Bai, during the day, see, see..."
It turns out that the other party spoke!
But it seems that the pronunciation of the language is difficult!
"We met during the day, then do you know who I am? Just hold on to me and won't let me go?" Xiao Nuo asked again.
She let go of Xiao Nuo's clothes, then grabbed Xiao Nuo's big hand and wrote two words on the palm of his hand.
According to the comparison, we can know that the other person actually wrote the word "good person".
"Good guy? But I killed someone during the day, you should have seen it, right? Then what are they?"
"He, they are... bad, bad people!"
Every word the little girl said seemed to be difficult.
Due to the difficulty in communicating with the other party, Xiao Nuo became more and more confused.
Bad guy?
He killed bad guys, so he is a good guy?
do you mean this?
After thinking for a while, Xiao Nuo asked, "Where are you taking me?"
"Follow, keep up..." the little girl squeezed out two words, then turned around and ran behind the rockery.
Xiao Nuo hesitated for a moment, then
He also walked over.
She is very petite, just like a kitten, running around behind the rockery.
Some places were very narrow, and it took Xiao Nuo a lot of effort to get in.
After a while, the other party stopped, and in front of her was a stone slab.
She put down the puppet toys, struggled to uncover the stone slab with both hands, and then, an underground passage appeared in front of her.
Xiao Nuo was stunned.
Before he could ask what kind of passage it was, the other party picked up the puppet and got in.
Xiao Nuo stepped forward, looked at this passage and fell into deep thought.
What secrets does the City Lord’s Mansion hold?
Where does this secret passage lead to? .???.
Doubts arose in Xiao Nuo's heart.
Does the other party really want you? Is it a conspiracy?
I can't see clearly now.
Considering that the other party is still a child, if it is a conspiracy, there is no need to let a child come out to harm others...
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Nuo made an immediate decision and entered the tunnel.
The tunnel is very narrow.
Once inside, you can't even look back.
Xiao Nuo curled up and crawled in the tunnel with the little girl in front of him.
"Can you tell me what happened?"
Xiao Nuo asked.
The other party didn't speak, but just led the way with his head down.
The tunnel was winding and rugged, with some corners and sometimes even downwards... The opponent relied on his petite body to nimbly get in and out, but Xiao Nuo was hit by a dusty nose...
I do not know how long it has been.
The other party finally stopped.
Xiao Nuo also breathed a sigh of relief. If he climbed down again, he would really die of suffocation.
"Are you here?" Xiao Nuo asked.
The other party nodded, and then began to push hard against a stone wall in front of him.
"bass!"
"Bang!"
The stone wall was pushed open, and more than a dozen stone bricks fell to the ground.
The little girl climbed out.
Xiao Nuo follows.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Nuo unexpectedly came to a magnificent palace.
"here it is?"
Xiao Nuo's face was full of doubts.
The palace is quite luxuriously decorated, every brick and column is full of magnificence. The place where Xiao Nuo crawled out is in a dark corner of the palace...
There is a screen blocking it next to it. If you don't search it deliberately, you won't find the existence of the passage.
There is no one else in the palace.
Even the door is closed.
The little girl took Xiao Nuo to the center of the palace, and then pointed to the stone pillar on the left...
"Huh?" Xiao Nuo looked sideways and saw a large tree pattern engraved on the stone pillar.
The trees are tall, the branches are strong, and even every green leaf is carved lifelike.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, but if you look closely, you will find that one of the green leaves is more colorful and the texture is clearer...
Then, Xiao Nuo stretched out his hand to the special green leaf.
"Buzz!"
The moment my fingertips touch that leaf,
A powerful spiritual energy was released from it.
Xiao Nuo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately showed a look of alertness.
"Chi!"
"Click!"
Emerald green lines spread along the pillar body, covering the entire stone pillar in a blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, a dreamy formation wheel spread in the center of the hall, and then, a square passageway appeared again on the ground not far from the two of them.
"What is this?" Xiao Nuo looked at the other party in confusion.
The little girl walked to Xiao Nuo's side, tightened the other's palm with one hand, and pointed to the entrance of the passage with the other.
Xiao Nuo said in a deep voice, "You want me to take you down?"
She nodded.
And very determined.
It seems that there is something very important down there.
Xiao Nuo breathed out solemnly, what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd?
"Forget it, since we are already here, let's go down and have a look! Maybe the City Lord's Mansion really has some secrets that outsiders don't know about..."
"Then let's go!"
Xiao Nuo grabbed the opponent's little hand, then jumped up and dodged into the passage.
After descending about a few tens of meters, Xiao Nuo saw the ground. Then, he flipped in the air, not only releasing the force but also stably landing the little girl safely.
This is an underground palace.
It seems a bit old and the surrounding walls are a bit old.
Then, the little girl let go of Xiao Nuo's hand, and she hurriedly ran forward.
Xiao Nuo was slightly startled, and then followed him.
Soon, a stone platform appeared in front of Xiao Nuo's eyes, with two huge stone pillars standing on it.
A thick black iron chain is connected to the stone pillar, and under the iron chain, there is a person locked...
The man's hair was disheveled and his limbs were shackled. When the little girl ran forward, Xiao Nuo also clearly saw the man's face.
Suddenly, Xiao Nuo's expression changed, his eyes widened, and he shouted in disbelief, "Old City Lord Yan?"
…
at the same time.
A group of people sent by the Piaomiao Sect to hand over the situation also arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
"Senior Brother Li Hao, you are here..."
In the city lord's palace, Ouyang Rong, Mu Yue'er and others successfully met with the people sent by the third elder.
Li Hao is a first-class disciple of the Piaomiao Sect. He is extraordinary and personable, and there are many people who came with him.
Because they were about to obtain part of the management rights of Holy Tree City, the sect sent enough people over.
"Old City Lord Yan will reply to us tonight..." Mu Yue'er said happily.
Being able to successfully take over the management of Holy Tree City this time is definitely something to be happy about.
Li Hao nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, everyone else will go outside first. You will follow me to meet the old city master Yan. The third elder specially asked me to bring a gift. I will give it to him personally later."
"okay."
"..."
But at this moment, a strong fishy wind enveloped the area.
The next moment, the city lord's palace burst into flames.
