"Miss Gu, the auction will be held in the center of the city. This is a VIP invitation letter for the auction. However, the number of guests coming to the auction is beyond imagination. I am afraid that our city lord's palace cannot maintain order on the scene."
At the dinner party at the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord of Fangquan City took out an invitation letter with three large gilded characters and handed it to Ling Qingzhu, and said.
"Oh? It seems that the Lord of the City is worried. He must have thought of a solution. I wonder what the Lord of the City has to say?" Ling Qingzhu looked calm and spoke in a calm tone.
After arriving at the city lord's mansion, Ling Qingzhu had already noticed something was wrong with the attitude of the city lord of Fangquan City. There was a huge gap between the cheerful and hospitable attitude he showed a month ago.
Out of habit, Ling Qingzhu subconsciously released her spiritual consciousness to investigate, but to her surprise, she actually found clues.
Ling Qingzhu had already inspected the City Lord's Mansion a month and a half ago when he came to the City Lord's Mansion. At that time, the City Lord's Mansion was the only one who was in the early stage of Soul Forging Realm.
And now Ling Qingzhu actually discovered eight soul-forging realm souls in the city lord's palace, two of whom were true kings in the late-stage soul-forging realm.
Ling Qingzhu knew that the Lord of Fangquan City might have other ideas in his mind. He didn't know if someone else came to find him or if he invited someone else on his own initiative.
"It just so happened that several friends of this city lord also heard the news about the auction and rushed over. Their cultivation levels are all not inferior to my city lord, and they are also ready to help Miss Gu maintain the order of the auction. However, the efforts cannot be in vain. Gu will be needed afterwards.
The lady will pay you a little."
Ling Qingzhu did not immediately fall out when he heard the city lord of Fangquan City made such an unauthorized claim and threatened him as if he was planning to sell it by force.
After all, the auction hasn't started yet, and everything still requires the efforts of the City Lord's Mansion. A month and a half has been wasted here, and Ling Qingzhu doesn't want to add too many variables to his plan because of this trivial matter.
So he took a step back and asked, "I wonder what the reward you mentioned is?"
That's right, compared with the wasted time and his own plans, the matter of the Lord of Fangquan City is really a small matter that can be tolerated temporarily and settled later.
The Lord of Fangquan City just tested Ling Qingzhu's attitude. He was not sure whether a person like Ling Qingzhu who could produce royal weapons, increase his lifespan, and improve his cultivation qualifications had any background.
If Ling Qingzhu had a tough attitude, the Lord of Fangquan City decided to lower his head first and see what Ling Qingzhu's confidence was before he acted.
But now Ling Qingzhu's attitude of choosing to be patient made him feel certain, and he was even more convinced that his choice was indeed the right one.
Since Ling Qingzhu chose to be patient despite being in a dominant position, doesn't this just mean that there is no solution to the current situation?
Although He Wenlong made the Lord of Fangquan City feel fearful, it was only fearful.
Now they have nine Soul Forging Realm beings including him, among them two True King monks in the late Soul Forging Realm. As long as they don't encounter the Emperor of the Divine Power Realm, they are not afraid.
There is no end to greed. Originally, the royal weapon that Ling Qingzhu promised was enough to make the Lord of Fangquan City feel excited. But now that he saw Ling Qingzhu's forbearance, he was naturally not satisfied with only one royal weapon.
So the Lord of Fangquan City opened his mouth and said: "There are not many. There are nine of us. The reward is just one royal weapon for each person and twenty three-star elixirs. If there are not so many royal weapons, you can also use elixirs."
Take medicine instead.”
Ling Qingzhu listened quietly, without interrupting the Lord of Fangquan City's delusion. He did not say until the Lord of Fangquan City stopped: "Then I would like to thank the Lord of the City and his friends for their kindness. I have to come all the way, but
I will maintain the order of the auction myself, no help is needed."
"You, as far as I know, there are no less than twenty true kings in Fangquan City now. Miss Gu definitely does not need help. If the auction becomes chaotic and the auction cannot continue, I am afraid Miss Gu will also be in danger.
Just a true king cannot protect Miss Gu!"
After talking about his delusions happily for a long time, the Lord of Fangquan City was suddenly completely disturbed by Ling Qingzhu's words that he didn't need to, and he immediately held a breath in his chest.
So much so that the following words were more of an explicit threat than an advice.
"Then I won't bother you, City Lord. I'll go back if I have something else to do. I'll take the auction items with me when I go to the auction venue tomorrow. Say goodbye." Ling Qingzhu's mood didn't waver at all, and he still used the expression "neither salt nor light".
said in a tone of voice.
Looking at Ling Qingzhu's leaving figure, the Lord of Fangquan City looked gloomy. He didn't believe that Ling Qingzhu really didn't understand the meaning of his words.
Ling Qingzhu's nonchalant attitude just showed that he didn't take his threat seriously at all.
But then the Lord of Fangquan City frowned again and began to doubt the reality of Ling Qingzhu's confidence.
Before, he judged that the reason for Ling Qingzhu's lack of confidence was Ling Qingzhu's forbearance, but now he felt as if he was not tolerating, but as if he was deliberately teasing him.
"how?."
At this time, two people walked out of the darkness and came to the Lord of Fangquan City and spoke.
The frowned brows of the City Lord of Fangquan City relaxed, and he put aside the suspicion in his heart for the time being, and said with a gloomy face: "You have been paying attention to this place, and you have heard what she said, so why do you still need to ask me?"
"Since you have no objection, let's implement the second plan."
————————————————————————
After leaving the city lord's palace, He Wenlong, who was wearing a cloak and had been silent all the time, followed Ling Qingzhu and suddenly asked: "Do you need me to deal with them?"
Ling Qingzhu just laughed softly when he heard this and said, "No need, leaving them alive is still useful."
With He Wenlong's current strength, Ling Qingzhu had no doubt that he could solve the soul-forging realms in the city lord's palace, including the two true kings.
Now that He Wenlong has reached the Soul Forging Realm, he no longer needs to worry about the stronger Guan Hongdie coming to seek revenge on him and stay anonymous.
This layer of shackles in He Wenlong's heart has been liberated, and the foundation has been solidified, and the strength of the soul has also reached the standard. As long as he finds his own way over time, it is only a matter of time before he understands the martial soul and steps into the realm of supernatural power.
As a protector, He Wenlong only needs to protect Ling Qingzhu's safety. As long as his own personal affairs are not involved in his actions, he will completely rely on Ling Qingzhu's opinions.
Generally speaking, as a protector, one needs to be on tenterhooks, not only worrying about the safety of the protector, but also worrying about whether overprotection will affect the growth of the protector, but He Wenlong doesn't need to worry about that.
As a reincarnation, Ling Qingzhu has already had a growth experience. No matter what she does, she arranges it in every aspect, without He Wenlong having to worry about it at all.
He just needs to live leisurely, follow the arrangements and do activities when necessary, and then wait for the protection period to end.
