Chapter 103 Night Visit to the City Lord's Mansion
Autumn insects hum, and dead leaves return to their roots.
Under the sultry night, a dark shadow flashed into the city lord's mansion, dodging the waiting maids and hiding in the patrolling courtyard. The dark shadow kept looking around, as if looking for something.
Speaking of which, the city lord's mansion was a bit too big. Heiying wandered around in secret for an hour to figure out the terrain, but he couldn't find the person he wanted to find.
Could it be that his calculations were wrong? Did the girl not come to the city lord's mansion, or did City Lord Ling not meet the girl? With a sigh, the black figure simply sat on the roof and started drinking.
Just as he raised his neck, he suddenly heard a loud voice: "Who is so bold and dares to break into the city lord's palace at night?"
Hearing the sound, the black shadow looked down and felt that it sounded familiar. Then he realized, wasn't it Ling Jiyun's voice? He covered the wine gourd, jumped down, and jumped into the house through the window.
Ling Jiyun took a closer look, wasn't this the old man who disappeared outside the forest that day? Thinking of his relationship with Gardenia, he immediately held up his hands and said, "Senior."
King Yao looked around and said, "Look, it's not good for me to sit on that roof, but I happened to sit on the roof of your study, and you discovered it. Boy, your skills are pretty good."
"Senior, you've received the award." Ling Jiyun asked urgently: "Senior, do you know where Gardenia is?"
Yao Wang shook his head and said, "How could I know where she is? That day I made an excuse to trick her into your border town. I thought you had found her. I also said that I was here to have a cup of wedding wine for my apprentice and grandson-in-law. But I
I've just searched the entire city lord's palace, but there's no sign of that girl Gardenia, I bet you haven't found her yet."
"So, Gardenia is still in the city." A hint of joy flashed in Ling Jiyun's eyes. In fact, Situ Ling's words that Gardenia might have left the city still lingered in Ling Jiyun's heart.
Yao Wang still shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee that. Maybe she doesn't want to see you and has already returned to the Lost Forest."
"Senior, no matter what, please help me once and take me into the Lost Forest." Ling Jiyun begged. His desire to see Gardenia made him urgent.
Yao Wang walked to the window and said with a smile: "No, no, this Mizong Forest is not something I can let you go just because I say I can take you there."
"Why?"
"Haven't you already tried it? After sending so many people in, you actually couldn't even find a side. My stupid apprentice said that in addition to his son-in-law, Gardenia must be brought in, otherwise he wants to enter.
Mizong Forest, it will never be possible." Hua Xuzi was satisfied with the design of Mizong Forest. As a master, he was naturally proud to be able to teach such a disciple.
"Senior, for the sake of my infatuation with Gardenia, can't you just forgive me?"
"Infatuation?" Yao Wang sneered, "My old man has been alone all his life. I don't know how much infatuation weighs in this world. Don't say these words in front of the old man."
Ling Jiyun lowered his eyes, not knowing what to say next, and even if he did, he couldn't say it at this time.
"Sigh——." Yao Wang said: "I have already helped you, and I don't know whether it is right or wrong to do so. If Gardenia knew about it, she might still annoy me. If you are not destined for this life, I advise you not to force it.
, Gardenia has her fate, you have yours, just let everything go."
"senior--."
Yao Wang walked to the window and looked at the empty night, "If you see her, don't tell her that I lied to her."
Ling Jiyun didn't even have time to ask one more word, and Medicine King flashed into the dark night again.
