The third housekeeper lowered his voice and said, "Master is angry. If you don't go back, then..."
"Get angry if you're angry. Even if you beat me to death, I won't even go back!" Duan Xiaoqing said impatiently without even thinking about it: "Let's go quickly. Don't disturb this young lady's practice."
She seemed possessed by a demon and didn't want to waste any more time.
The third housekeeper was stunned.
He had watched the young lady grow up. Although the young lady in his memory was quite diligent, she was still a girl. How could she have been so obsessed with boring martial arts?
Looking at the secret room separated by the thick stone door, he felt that the young lady at this moment was very strange.
"Dean Xia, what do you think of this?" The third housekeeper asked Xia Qingchen for help.
Xia Qingchen was carelessly sorting the various medicinal materials bought by Niu Hanhan, and said, "You can figure it out yourself."
"Dean Xia, please tell me about Miss. The city lord is very anxious at home." The third housekeeper said tactfully.
With a pause of his fingers, Xia Qingchen put down the medicinal materials in his hand and sighed slightly: "Okay."
He came to the secret room and said: "Xiao Qing."
Creak——
The stone door opened instantly, and Duan Xiaoqing said respectfully: "What are your instructions, teacher?"
Her face was full of reverence and respect, almost to the point of worship.
This kind of expression was something the third housekeeper had never seen before.
Even if he invited a famous teacher from Maple Leaf Country to teach him personally, Duan Xiaoqing would only show polite respect, but now, it was worship from the bottom of his heart.
After all, Duan Xiaoqing's status is there, how can he respect someone extremely?
"The city lord is probably worried about you. Go back." Xia Qingchen said, "You can come back and ask me again if you don't understand."
Others may not give face, but the city lord still has to give face.
Duan Xiaoqing immediately glared at the third housekeeper, gave him a hard look, looked at Xia Qingchen, and said decisively: "Teacher, I just want to concentrate on staying with you to practice. I don't want to go anywhere. Please help me."
"If I must leave, I...I will die in front of the teacher right away!"
She knew very well that once she returned to the City Lord's Mansion, she would not be able to come to him at any time if she had any problems, as Xia Qingchen said.
At that time, she couldn't leave the city lord's mansion at all.
Xia Qingchen shrugged helplessly, looked at the third housekeeper, and said: "Go back and tell the city lord that I will give him a satisfactory daughter."
The third housekeeper stared at Duan Xiaoqing in shock, full of suspicion.
Is this really the young lady he watched growing up?
Would you rather die than leave Xia Qingchen?
There is definitely a ghost here!
After looking deeply at Xia Qingchen, the third housekeeper hurriedly left and returned to the city lord's mansion.
"Master! You haven't seen it with your own eyes. It's so evil! The young lady seems to be possessed by an evil spirit. She almost worships Xia Qingchen." The third housekeeper was worried: "I'm worried that Xia Qingchen used crooked means to control the young lady.
the spirit of."
Duan Zhanlong still doesn't believe it if he talks about other crooked ways.
From the contact point of view, it seems that Xia Qingchen rarely uses unscrupulous means.
But when it comes to mental control, it seems that Xia Qingchen is a being in the spiritual realm, right?
Duan Zhanlong stood in front of the window with his hands behind his hands, his eyes flashing with unknown light: "Miss, really don't want to come back?"
"Oh, sir, how dare you lie!" The third housekeeper spread his hands in worry: "As soon as the young lady heard that I picked her up, she told me to get out of here. Forget it, she also said she would rather die than leave Xia Qingchen."
"Master, please think of a way quickly. The young lady has definitely been controlled mentally and has become Xia Qingchen's puppet."
No wonder he misunderstood, Duan Xiaoqing was really too impatient to practice the Jackdaw Evil Light, and he was almost obsessed with it.
At this time, let alone the third housekeeper to pick her up, even if the city lord went to pick her up in person, she would not leave.
Duan Zhanlong's eyes darkened little by little, and the palms behind his back were sometimes clenched and sometimes loosened.
"Master, why don't we send the experts from the City Lord's Mansion over now to snatch the young lady back and ensure her safety before making another decision?" the third housekeeper suggested.
Duan Zhanlong shook his head without thinking: "I said, this matter needs to be kept low-key."
"Are you sending experts to the academy to rob people because you are afraid that the matter will not spread?" Duan Zhanlong's biggest concern is the negative impact of this incident.
Otherwise, he would have gone there himself.
"But I'm afraid that the young lady's life is in danger." The third housekeeper was worried.
Duan Zhanlong said: "If Xia Qingchen wanted to harm her, he would have harmed her a month ago, why wait until now? Moreover, you should not be too arbitrary. There is no conclusive evidence as to whether the girl is under mental control or not. Do not make any arbitrary conclusions.
."
As the lord of a city, of course you must have a cool head.
"I ask myself that I have no conflict of interest with Xia Qingchen. On the contrary, I can help him get more benefits. Harming my daughter is harmful to him. As long as he is not stupid, there is no reason to harm my daughter."
"What's more... From my perspective, he is not a treacherous and sinister person."
The third housekeeper said: "Master, you know people but don't know their hearts! If you are kind to him, he dares to take the young lady into his academy. Is this a person who repays his kindness?"
Duan Zhanlong fell silent.
Indeed, this matter touched Duan Zhanlong's heart, and the thorn in his heart was struck hard.
If Xia Qingchen was really repaying his kindness, he would know that it was impossible for him to let his daughter go to his little academy with nothing, but he still did it.
"master……"
"Stop talking." Duan Zhanlong tightened his hands behind his back: "You give me a verbal message and ask Xia Qingchen to send the person back within three days."
He didn't say otherwise, but it was precisely because he didn't say otherwise that it seemed serious.
If it is not sent back within three days, the city lord will be furious and take some action, right?
The premise is that the news has not been leaked.
The third housekeeper sighed silently and went to Wuchen Academy again to relay the words of the city lord face to face.
Regarding this, Xia Qingchen also had a look of helplessness on his face: "You young ladies are at a critical juncture in your cultivation, so it would be best not to interrupt it easily for the time being."
The beginning of Jackdaw Evil Light is very important, involving the reactivation of blood, a process that takes at least three days.
If you interrupt midway, it may have a serious impact on your subsequent practice, and it may even harm your body.
Sanyanyan did not leave this inheritance because he was worried that improper cultivation would affect his descendants, so he took Jiutian with him and never left it.
"Dean Xia, the city lord has treated you well, so please take care of yourself," the third steward said.
Xia Qingchen said calmly: "If it's the same as before, I will give the city lord a satisfactory daughter."
The third housekeeper looked deeply at Xia Qingchen and left with a cold face.
Three days!
There are only three days, and after three days, it will be time for the city leader to take action.
Xia Qingchen looked back at Duan Xiaoqing's secret room, shook his head and said, "I knew this day would come."
He sighed and continued sorting various materials.
This time from the Black Shark Demon King's treasure house, he actually found many treasures of heaven and earth, many of which are excellent materials for refining various secret medicines.
"It's the eighth round of Xiao Yue's position." Xia Qingchen murmured: "It's time to hit the ninth round of Xiao Yue's position."
