After staying in the City Lord's Mansion, Fengjiu did not bother to be polite with them. She directly asked the maid to go to the kitchen, prepare a few dishes, bring some wine, and then started to eat in the courtyard.
At this time, Ling Tianyu walked in from outside. Seeing that he was actually living freely and unrestrainedly in their house, he could not help but sneer: "You are so free, you almost treat my home as your own!"
Feng Jiu glanced at him and said, "Why? Young City Master wants to have a drink too?"
Ling Tianyu's face was dark, his eyes fixed on Fengjiu, and he asked in a calm voice: "Fengjiu! Who are you? What do you want to do by looking for the Immortal Staircase?"
Hearing this, Feng Jiu chuckled. She played with the wine glass in her hand, watching the wine in the glass sway as she gently shook it, and said with a smile: "Don't you already know who I am? As for why I'm looking for the Immortal Staircase, that's my business. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right?"
She paused, her clear eyes fell on him, and she smiled, "Besides, the contract on you has been dissolved now, why are you still hanging around in front of me?"
"I'm swaying in front of you?" His voice rose slightly, like a small animal whose tail was stepped on, and he immediately retorted: "It's you who live in my house, not me who is swaying in front of you!"
"I am a guest in your mansion now. You are the young city lord. Is this how you treat guests?" She raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "Does the city lord know that the young city lord is coming to my place?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Tianyu froze slightly. He glared at Fengjiu fiercely, snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Seeing this, Fengjiu curled the corners of her lips and smiled, but ignored him. She just walked around in the yard for a while after eating, asked someone to prepare water for bathing, and then went to bed early.
Night, City Lord's Mansion
The city lord came to the back mountain alone, passed through the barrier and formation, and entered a cave. He came inside and bowed respectfully: "Father."
"Come in." In a stone chamber in the cave, an old man was sitting cross-legged and practicing. After hearing the sound outside, he opened his eyes and looked outside.
After hearing the voice, the city lord walked inside and came to the old man: "Father, I hope you can forgive me for disturbing you so late at night."
"Is there something wrong?" the old man asked in a deep voice.
"Yu'er did something stupid outside during the day today..." City Lord Ling briefly explained the matter, and finally said, "The main thing is that my son was a little surprised to hear Feng Jiu talking about the Immortal Staircase."
His voice paused slightly, and he said, "I remember my father once said that the Immortal Staircase leads to another world, and only those who have reached the level of Immortal Emperor are qualified to climb the Immortal Staircase. I also remember that my father once said that the Immortal Staircase has 99,999 steps, and each step is full of dangers and unpredictable changes."
Hearing this, the old man stroked his beard and asked, "Who is this Feng Jiu? How does she know about the Immortal Staircase?"
The city lord pondered and said, "This man is dressed in red, has a handsome face, and looks to be around twenty years old. Although he hides his aura, I can still sense the aura of a superior. I only know that this man is unfathomable and extraordinary, but we know nothing about his origins."
