Not long after, Lin Chen and Zhen Mei saw Bai Jiaojiao in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.
Bai Jiaojiao threw a space ring to Lin Chen.
"The materials you need for refining are all in this space ring. Please confirm."
Lin Chen caught the space ring and used his spiritual sense to explore the items inside the ring. After a few seconds, he nodded and said, "Thank you!"
"I'm just doing what I promised you from the beginning, you don't need to thank me."
After Lin Chen put away the space ring, Bai Jiaojiao said: "I thought that you had taken that low-grade magic pill and went into seclusion. It would take a long time before you could come out of seclusion. I didn't expect that you would do it so quickly.
Come see me. What are your plans next, to go with me to find the Shinto artifact I know?"
To Lin Chen, this period of time on the fourth floor of the Divine Prison Tower was nearly twenty years, but in the eyes of Bai Jiaojiao and others, only more than two months had passed. Naturally, she could not have imagined that,
The elixir has been taken by Lin Chen, and Lin Chen's strength has increased significantly.
Lin Chen had no intention of explaining this.
Lin Chen said: "If it is convenient for you, we will go find the Shinto weapon you mentioned now."
Bai Jiaojiao turned to look at Mu Ling aside and said, "During my absence, you will take my place and manage all the affairs of Qianjiao City."
"yes!"
Bai Jiaojiao sometimes goes out for a long time, such as the last time she went to Dongyang Divine Territory. Therefore, this is not the first time that Mu Ling has taken on the temporary responsibility of the city lord, and there is no need to worry about any problems.
"let's go."
Bai Jiaojiao tore apart the space and walked in. Lin Chen pulled Zhen Mei after him and walked into the space crack. When they reappeared, they were already dozens of kilometers away from Qianjiao City.
Then, continue to tear apart the space and move forward.
Along the way, Bai Jiaojiao's face was expressionless and she didn't say a word. Lin Chen complained in his heart. He didn't know it, but thought she was rushing along with the two prisoners.
When he walked out of the space crack again, Lin Chen asked: "Where is the Shinto weapon you know, and how long will it take for us to get there?"
Although Bai Jiaojiao would not take the initiative to speak, when Lin Chen asked, she did not show any impatience and answered:
"She is the princess of Nanqi County in Wuling City. At our speed, it will take more than two days to get to her."
"Wuling City Nanqi County?" Lin Chen was a little confused.
"Aren't you from the Tianyan God Realm?" Bai Jiaojiao was startled. If you were from the Tianyan God Realm, and Lin Chen had enough knowledge about his strength, you should know about Wuling City.
Lin Chen shook his head. Speaking of which, when he first entered Qianjiao City, he wanted to ask if this place was already part of the Tianyan God's Domain. How could he have imagined that so many things would happen later.
However, from Bai Jiaojiao's words, he didn't need to ask now, and he could be sure that this was already the territory of Tianyan God Realm.
Bai Jiaojiao explained: "The territory of Wuling City was originally an immortal dynasty. Later, the immortal dynasty was annexed by the Tianyan God Realm. Wuling City was named after the Tianyan God Realm annexed that territory.
Because the territory of Wuling City is much larger than an ordinary city, Wuling City is divided into nine areas, called Wuling Nine Counties. Nanqi County is one of the Wuling Nine Counties, and the person I know,
He is the leader of Nanqi County."
Only then did Lin Chen understand that the so-called princess was not a title for the children of the royal family as in ancient China, but an abbreviation for the head of a county.
Seeing that Bai Jiaojiao patiently answered his questions, he shamelessly asked what he had always wanted to ask.
"By the way, can I ask why you hate men so much?"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Jiaojiao's brows suddenly wrinkled, and the hand that stretched out to tear the space apart and move forward also stopped.
The air seemed to freeze.
Zhen Mei's eyes looked towards Bai Jiaojiao with curiosity.
Seeing that Bai Jiaojiao was still silent, Lin Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I'm too talkative. Let's continue on our way."
Bai Jiaojiao said: "Because of a man whose name I don't even want to mention."
Lin Chen asked curiously: "What is his relationship with you?"
Bai Jiaojiao's eyes turned cold and she said coldly: "I have nothing to do with him!"
Lin Chen thought to himself, you hate all men in the world because of him, how could it be possible that you have nothing to do with him.
Being so unwilling to admit her relationship with that man only shows that the relationship between Bai Jiaojiao and the man she talks about is anything but simple!
Is it possible that she really guessed correctly before that she once deeply loved a man, but was abandoned by him?
Seeing that although Lin Chen didn't speak, his eyes were obviously unbelieving, Bai Jiaojiao said slowly:
"My mother loved that man deeply and was willing to sacrifice her life for him, but that man abandoned me and my mother at the critical moment.
He didn’t even hesitate at all! Greedy! Cowardly! Selfish! Hypocritical! Heartless! There is no good man in the world!”
'It turns out that the person who abandoned her was not the man she loved deeply, but her father. And he abandoned her and her mother together. That's right, the reason why a woman hates men so much is basically because
There was a certain man who left a huge shadow on her in her childhood. If this man was the person she was closest to and most trusted, then there is a high probability that this idea will never be eliminated in her lifetime.'
In Lin Chen's heart, he immediately understood that he had guessed wrong before.
Lin Chen guessed in his heart that Bai Jiaojiao's mother was most likely dead. Otherwise, her hatred for men would not be so deep.
As for whether the father she was unwilling to admit her relationship with was still alive, Lin Chen had no way of knowing. Seeing a hint of pain in Bai Jiaojiao's eyes, she knew she shouldn't continue to ask.
Zhen Mei originally thought Bai Jiaojiao was arrogant and unreasonable, but at this moment, she felt sympathy for Bai Jiaojiao in her heart. Although her father was dead, at least her father loved her very much when he was alive.
Seeing Bai Jiaojiao talking and seeming to be caught in painful memories, Lin Chen pretended to be dissatisfied and said loudly:
"Hey, hey! Isn't it wrong for you to say that? You scolded all the men in the world so badly, and you included me in the scolding! I was almost killed by your enemy just to help you.
"
Lin Chen puffed out his chest and looked confident: "No matter what, I am different from other men. I am definitely a good man worth trusting for life! Are you right?"
"You?" Bai Jiaojiao came back to her senses and her eyes fell on Lin Chen's face.
