Chu Yingyi held the letter in his hand for a while before opening it. Ji Lingxuan stood a little far away, watching Chu Yingyi open the letter, and was very curious about the content inside, but did not go over to read it together.
Even couples should give each other some space...
"Come here if you want to take a look." Chu Yingyi looked at her face and couldn't help but laugh, and glanced at her gently.
"Hehe..." Ji Lingxuan smiled sheepishly and ran over to take a look.
Ji Lingxuan originally wanted to just stand aside and watch, but she didn't want Chu Yingyi to suddenly reach out and pull her down on the bed. She tilted her body and fell on Chu Yingyi's body.
Ji Lingxuan blushed and glared at him angrily.
Even though this wasn't the first time they had been so close, she still couldn't help but feel her heartbeat speed up and feel embarrassed when she thought of maintaining such an ambiguous posture just now.
Chu Yingyi smiled softly, and her originally gloomy mood immediately relaxed a lot. He thoughtfully adjusted her into a comfortable position, letting her lean into his arms, and then opened the letter.
The content on the letterhead is very simple, only one sentence.
"King Chu, please come to the City Lord's Mansion for a banquet at midnight tonight. I have something to tell you, and it is related to your memory. Because your memory has been modified, so if you want to know the details, please come to the City Lord's Mansion in person."
Chu Yingyi's brows wrinkled imperceptibly, and then he completely shattered the letter in his hand.
"Are you going?" Ji Lingxuan looked up at Chu Yingyi and asked softly.
Chu Yingyi nodded. He buried his head in Ji Lingxuan's neck and took a deep breath. The cool fragrance that only belonged to Ji Lingxuan calmed him down.
He has the power of the sect master, and there are very few people in the world who can hurt him.
Moreover, he really wanted to know what happened to his memory.
The strange yet familiar scene that appeared in his mind last time started to flash through his mind from time to time. He wanted to investigate, but didn't know where to start.
Now that the city lord's wife would actually say this, she obviously knew something. He couldn't let go of such a good opportunity.
Therefore, this time, he must go.
Ji Lingxuan's right eye suddenly jumped, and her heart was filled with an uneasy premonition that nothing good would happen.
Inexplicably nervous and frightened in her heart, she pulled Chu Yingyi tightly, "Don't go, okay?"
She regretted a little. If she had known earlier, she should have destroyed the letter instead of giving it to Chu Yingyi out of curiosity.
Although it was just a baseless hunch, she didn't want Chu Yingyi to put herself in danger.
Even though Chu Yingyi’s current martial arts skills are superb, but...
No matter how powerful a master is, he can't avoid accidents!
"No need to worry, I will be safe." Chu Yingyi gently stroked Ji Lingxuan's head with his hand. Seeing Ji Lingxuan's obvious worry, he was actually very happy.
But even if Chu Yingyi likes her, it will be difficult for Ji Lingxuan to change if he decides the matter.
When the You hour arrived, Chu Yingyi went to the city lord's palace.
"Wait for me obediently. When I come back, I will tell you everything about that woman." Before leaving, Chu Yingyi placed a feather-light kiss on Ji Lingxuan's forehead and promised gently.
He could tell that Ji Lingxuan was curious about the entanglement between him and the city lord's wife, and Ji Lingxuan was more important than life to him, and he had no intention of hiding it from her.
Immediately afterwards, his figure moved, and all he could see in the distance was a small black shadow.
"Perhaps, I really worry too much. Chu Yingyi can kill nine elders with a snap of his fingers. No one can hurt him at all..." Looking at Chu Yingyi's back, Ji Lingxuan murmured in a low voice.
Chu Yingyi's speed was extremely fast, and in just a moment, she had arrived at the city lord's mansion.
He glanced lightly above the city lord's mansion and quickly found the place where the city lord's wife was.
It was a painted boat floating on the lotus pond. Colored lanterns were gathered on the boat. Standing in the middle of the boat was a table full of fine wine and delicacies, while the beautiful lady sat quietly aside.
There are elegant lotuses in full bloom all around, and it really looks like a fairyland.
Such beautiful wonderland scenery could not impress Chu Yingyi.
At this moment, he had descended from the sky, swept a table full of delicacies and the table into the lotus pond with a wave of his long sleeves.
Then, he looked at the city lord's wife with cold eyes, "If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Chu Yingyi naturally understood Ji Lingxuan's worries, so she just wanted to figure things out quickly and go back as soon as possible.
"What a pity. This is the delicacy I have been preparing since noon..." The city lord's wife looked at the food and oil floating in the lotus pond with a regretful expression.
By doing this, Chu Yingyi not only wasted this table of delicious food, but also polluted the water in the lotus pond.
The words of the city lord's wife were not echoed by Chu Yingyi. Chu Yingyi just looked at her coldly, her eyes full of warning.
How dare the city lord's wife continue to talk nonsense, "As long as you can let the Nangong family go, I will tell you everything you want to know."
Even if she didn't take the initiative to ask, the city lord's wife knew that Chu Yingyi was responsible for the current miserable situation in Nangong City, and only Chu Yingyi could force the city lord's mansion into such a desperate situation.
He did not ask Nangong Cheng to continue to hold the position of city lord, but he only asked Chu Yingyi not to let the Nangong family be completely defeated like this.
Being ruined and disgraced and falling from the sky is cruel enough. Do we still need to kill them all?
Chu Yingyi looked cold and arrogant, and smiled sarcastically, "The Nangong family almost caused the death of my beloved concubine, and now they want me to spare my life? Besides, I don't have to know about your so-called bargaining chip."
Although he is indeed curious, it is not really that important. Anyway, those things have no impact on his body, let alone his future life.
"I still have two tokens in my hand, which are used to save the lives of Feng Li and the city lord. The chips I mentioned are used to save my own life." The city lord's wife quickly retreated because Nangong Zi'er
It has been saved by the token and is no longer needed.
Just once, Chu Yingyi would never take that person's life again.
After saying that, he handed the two tokens in his hand to Chu Yingyi.
He had no choice but to agree to what the city lord's wife asked for with the token. Moreover, he actually did not hold Nangong Zi'er and Nangong Fengli accountable for hurting Ji Lingxuan. It was not that unbearable for a city lord's wife.
After just a moment's hesitation, he threw the token high into the sky and turned it into powder just like that day.
At this moment, the city lord's wife had an inexplicable smile on her face. She stood up slowly and walked towards Chu Yingyi with gentle steps.
Chu Yingyi frowned in displeasure, watching the city lord's wife getting closer and closer, and wanted to reach out to wave away, but found...
"When did you inject the poison?" Chu Yingyi secretly exercised her skills but found that her internal strength could not be used, and her face immediately became gloomy.
He has always been very careful, but he was still tricked...
The city lord's wife approached with a smile and answered honestly.
"How dare I use poison on you? I just used the soul herb powder on the token, combined with the scent of lotus. When it works at the same time, it will make a person temporarily incapacitated. No one thought that you would use such a method to destroy the token.
Dropped..."
Chu Yingyi looked gloomy and violent, looking at the city lord's wife with cold eyes. Even though she was being suppressed at this moment, she was still not confused at all, "You want my life?"
"No, how could it be? I will never kill you." The city lord's wife reached out and gently touched Chu Yingyi's face, narrowing her eyes in panic.
The touch of the city lord's wife made Chu Yingyi feel disgusted, but she couldn't even resist and could only let others do whatever she wanted.
After a while, the city lord's wife finally came to her senses, retracted her hands, with a deeper smile on her lips, "I forgot to mention, the soul grass and lotus fragrance will make you incapacitated for the first half hour, and after half an hour, the effectiveness will be gone.
Change……"
Then, the city lord's wife took Chu Yingyi to the Huafang and forced her into the water.
Chu Yingyi thought she would be killed by the city lord's wife, but found that she was sucked away when she reached the water. After the world started spinning, she stood in a closed stone room.
