After hearing what Xuanyuan Ling said, the city lord froze on the spot, his face turned pale, and his back was instantly soaked with sweat.
He always thought that he performed well, but he never expected that Xuanyuan Ling would doubt himself like this.
She had no idea what she had done wrong, which made Xuanyuan Ling directly doubt herself.
He doesn't seem to have any clues. Could it be that the messenger is testing himself
Yes, he must be testing himself. After the initial nervousness of the attack, the city lord quickly realized that Xuanyuan Ling was testing himself.
Because from the current point of view, Xuanyuan Ling has no evidence at all.
Moreover, those who had been in contact with his wife were all killed by him in advance, leaving no clues.
In this case, how could Xuanyuan Ling doubt him so quickly.
I couldn't help but praise myself for being so excited. Fortunately, I didn't reveal my secret just now.
Pretending to be calm and looking at Xuanyuan Ling in front of him, the city lord said with an innocent face.
"Sir Messenger, I don't understand what you mean."
The city lord came directly and pretended to be stupid. I don't understand what you mean, and I have no idea what you are talking about. This matter has nothing to do with me at all.
Looking at the city lord who was still resisting, Xuanyuan Ling smiled slightly, without the slightest hint of anger.
I had already guessed that this would be the result. A person like this would not shed tears until he saw the coffin.
"You think I have no evidence now?"
With calm eyes and a calm tone, he said, Hearing this, the city lord refused to repent.
"Sir, this villain really has nothing to do with this matter."
Still refusing to admit it, Xuanyuan Ling was too lazy to say anything when he saw this. He winked at Xiao Lao on the side. Soon, the wife of the city lord was brought in by a strong man from the temple.
Seeing his wife appear, the city lord was stunned for a moment and froze on the spot, completely unable to believe that his wife would appear here.
After the incident happened, he sent his wife away immediately.
Moreover, in order to expose the flaw, he did this matter very secretly, and no one even knew about it in the entire city lord's palace.
He personally sent his wife away and hid her in a place where he thought no one could find her.
I thought that doing so would be flawless, but who would have thought that after so long, my wife would be found by the temple.
How did this temple find his wife? The city lord couldn't understand.
But now is obviously not the time for him to worry about this. His wife has been found, and the situation seems to be completely different from what he thought.
In fact, the city lord had no idea that Xuanyuan Ling had already ordered people to secretly investigate the city lord's mansion before arriving here.
It was found that a woman suddenly disappeared in the City Lord's Mansion, although even the people in the City Lord's Mansion did not know the identity of this woman, and she seemed to appear out of thin air.
Normally, the city lord would not allow others to have contact with this woman.
After learning the news, Xuanyuan Ling immediately guessed that this woman might be the city lord's long-dead wife.
Regarding the past of the city lord, it is naturally not difficult for the temple to investigate.
Knowing that his wife had died a few years ago, and now that she reappeared, there was only one explanation.
The city lord colluded with Siyuanjie, and Siyuanjie helped him and resurrected his wife.
This is why, from the very beginning, Xuanyuan Ling determined that this matter was closely related to the City Lord's Mansion.
He had ordered people to capture the city lord's wife early, even though the city lord thought he had done a perfect job.
No one could find the whereabouts of his wife, but he still underestimated the power of the temple.
In the land of living beings, it is no exaggeration to say that the temple is determined to find someone. Unless he disappears from the world, it is impossible to find him.
Moreover, in such a short period of time, it is impossible for the city lord to take his wife to a very far place.
Therefore, the search was easier. It didn't take much time for the temple to find this person and bring him back directly.
Compared with the panic of the city lord, his wife was obviously very calm.
This is normal, after all, new warriors have no emotions and six desires, so they will not be afraid at all.
Even though she was captured by the temple now, she didn't look panicked at all.
His eyes glanced at the city lord's wife indifferently, and then fell on the city lord again. Xuanyuan Ling spoke unhurriedly.
"Now, is there anything else you want to say?"
His wife had already fallen into the temple, and the city lord didn't know what to say for a moment. He remained silent and looked at his wife with complicated eyes.
The reason why he did all this was because of his wife.
He missed his dead wife too much, and when he learned that the Siyuan Realm could resurrect his dead wife, he was so fascinated that the city lord agreed to cooperate with the Siyuan Realm.
Although he also knew that his deceased wife after resurrection was no longer the same person she once was.
But so what, he just wanted to be by his wife's side. Even if she lost her emotions and didn't know what feelings were, as long as he could look at her every day, he would be satisfied.
He unconsciously took steps to reach his wife. Seeing this, the strong man from the temple was about to stop her when Xuanyuan Ling spoke.
"Let him."
With Xuanyuan Ling's order, the strong man from the temple respectfully stepped aside, and the city lord also successfully came to his wife's side.
He gently held his wife's hand, although she still had a dull expression on her face, as if she didn't feel anything at all.
But being able to hold his wife again, the city lord also had a warm smile on his face.
He gently held his wife's hand, as if holding some treasure, and refused to let go.
At this moment, there was only a gentle smile on the face of the city lord. He looked at his wife and spoke slowly.
"Actually, I know the methods of the Origin World. The resurrected new warrior is no longer the same person as before. He can only be regarded as having the same skin."
"But even so, I am willing. I don't have too many ideas. I just want to be able to see her every day when I wake up, to be by her side, and to look at her like this."
"Although, she may have no feelings anymore, and she doesn't know what love is, let alone my love."
"But even if that's the case, it doesn't matter to me, as long as I can stay with him."
After saying that, the city lord turned his head, his eyes fell on Xuanyuan Ling, and he said with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"Sir, I have no other wishes, and I know that I will inevitably die. I just hope that I can be buried with her after death. That is enough. I hope that you will fulfill it."
