A tall figure, bathed in moonlight, walked slowly in.
"you… "
Lou Qianxue was a cultivator with sharp ears and eyes. She saw at a glance that the man who came in had a handsome and flawless face, blood-colored lines on his forehead, and an icy and powerful aura that no one else around him could match.
"Tan Tai Yuan!"
She suddenly stood up from the bed, and the little thing that was sleeping sweetly holding her hair was awakened and chirped twice.
She quickly reached out and held the little thing in her arms, stroking its head soothingly. It rubbed against her arms twice and fell asleep sweetly again.
Tan Tai Yuan paused slightly, and his cold and ruthless eyes fell on the little thing, with a hint of sharpness flashing across them.
At the same time.
Liuyun County.
The county magistrate's mansion was brightly lit.
"They're back, they're back, Lord County Magistrate. The people who escorted Miss Xingchen to the Zhu family are back."
Liuyun County Magistrate's expression changed slightly, and he stood up quickly: "Quick, let them in."
The sound of hurried footsteps came from far away.
Soon, two old men came in and said, "Greetings to the county magistrate."
The county magistrate was extremely anxious: "Forget about those empty formalities, tell me quickly, what did Master Zhu say? Did he blame us?"
"Master Zhu was furious, but later Miss Xingchen interceded for us, and he let us atone for our sins."
The county magistrate frowned, his face full of doubt: "Atoning for sins?"
"Yes, Miss Xingchen told Master Zhu that Lou Qianxue and even the Lou family not only have high-level secret manuals, but also secret treasures that can help Lou Qianxue improve her cultivation within a month. Master Zhu was quite tempted and asked us to get the secret treasures!"
"Secret treasure?" The county magistrate felt a burning excitement in his heart. He had also heard that Lou Qianxue had only been practicing for a month, but he had always doubted the truth of the story. If it was true, then Lou Qianxue must have a secret treasure on her!
Thinking of this, the county governor also became excited. If his cultivation could improve that quickly...
The county magistrate's breath was caught in his throat, and a hint of greed flashed across his eyes.
But when he thought that Master Zhu had specifically requested that thing, he suppressed the greed and desire in his heart.
Since Master Zhu already knows about the secret treasure, even if he gets it, he won't be able to keep it. It would be better to take it from the Lou family and give it to Master Zhu as a favor.
In a flash, the county governor thought a lot and said in deep thought, "I am willing to serve Master Zhu until my death, but Lou Qianxue is not simple. There are many forces behind her. Even if I can ignore the four great families in Liuyun County, I cannot ignore the Yan family and the Seven Killing Sect."
"Miss Xingchen has already thought of this. She borrowed three Xuanwu Realm masters from Master Zhu, plus the Zhu family token, and ordered us to destroy the Qingyun City Lord's Mansion."
The county magistrate was stunned when he heard this, then he came to his senses and said with a smile: "It seems that girl is more cruel than I thought. Fortunately, I didn't offend her!"
"With the Zhu family token, we will act on behalf of the Zhu family. Then even the Yan family and the Seven Killing Sect will not dare to embarrass us. Then the only one left is Leng Qianhan, the 'strongest individual'..."
"With three Xuanwu Realm masters from the Zhu family and three Xuanwu Realm masters from my City Lord's Mansion, it's no problem for us to kill Leng Qianhan..."
"Your Excellency is right. As long as Leng Qianhan dies, the Lou family, a bunch of Yuanwu realm and Lingwu realm chickens and pottery dogs, will be at our mercy..."
"Mr. Zhu wants the secret treasure, Miss Xingchen wants the Qingyun City Lord's Mansion to be destroyed... These things need to be done, but the reputation of the County Governor's Mansion cannot be damaged... Let me think about it, I have to think carefully about how to do it..."
