He stood up and walked to the backyard.
Compared with the luxury of the front yard, the style of the backyard is obviously more hermit-like.
The small building in the backyard is made of sapphire bricks and glazed tiles. There are green bamboo pavilions beside the road. Under the green bamboos is not a flower garden but a medicine garden. There is a faint fragrance of medicine in the air.
Two maids stood in front of the building. Seeing Ye Ling's arrival, they bowed slightly and said, "City Lord."
Ye Ling just nodded slightly, opened the door and went in.
There were heavy dark purple curtains in the building. Through the heavy curtains, a woman in white could be seen sitting upright on the bed.
"Aluo, what are you calling me for?" Ye Ling saluted into the curtain with a soft voice.
The woman in white looked at him coldly and said nothing.
She had an icy aura about her, like a lotus blooming in the ice and snow, which made Ye Ling dare not make mistakes.
Ye Ling's scalp was numb when she saw her, but she still smiled: "What's wrong? You're not here to invite me to talk about your family life, are you?"
"Whoa!" The woman in white suddenly rolled up her sleeves, and the wind from her sleeves hit Ye Ling's face, making a snapping sound, like a loud and clear slap in the face.
The woman finally spoke: "Ye Ling, you seem to have forgotten your identity!" Her voice was cold and crisp, like a spring.
Ye Ling paused for a moment, then raised her hand and touched her cheek: "A Luo, of course I remember my identity." Her voice was respectful, and a cold light flashed under her lowered eyes.
"Why did you kill Leng Feng?"
Leng Feng was the city official.
Ye Ling sighed softly: "Leng Feng broke the rules of Luohua City, and I had no choice but to do so."
"Lie! I heard that you are trying to please a woman!"
"Besides you, is there any woman in this world that I should like? A Luo, you have wronged me..."
"Hmph, you know whether I have wronged you or not, don't fool me!"
"Are you jealous?"
"Jealous? Are you worthy?" The woman in white's voice was light but sharp as a knife.
Ye Ling's eyelashes covered her eyes again, she sighed softly and said no more.
The woman seemed a little impatient and said coldly: "Ye Ling, don't forget your own identity. The so-called husband and wife are just a cover. In my eyes, you are just a slave. Your abilities are everything. What I have given you, you will be nothing if you leave this palace!"
"Yes, Ye Ling understands." Ye Ling still lowered his head.
"You don't have to pretend to be so well-behaved in front of me. Do you think I don't know what you are doing outside? How many concubines do you have in other courtyards? I just don't take these things to heart and turn a blind eye. It's just an eyesore. As long as you don't delay business because of greed, I won't care about you, but today you actually killed my confidant for a woman! Are you looking for death? Or do you no longer want to be the city lord? "
Ye Ling took a breath, knowing that she couldn't hide her affairs from the other party, so she simply admitted: "Aluo, I was just playing tricks on those women and didn't take them seriously. I didn't do it for this woman who came to the city today. Regarding her own selfish desires, she has weird skills. If she can win over her well, she will definitely become our right-hand man... "
"Um? It's rare for you to praise someone like this. That woman's kung fu seems to be very good. How does it compare with me?"
"This... She is only at the sixth or seventh level of spiritual power, so naturally she cannot compare with you, princess. But her Qinggong is very strange. Even if she is hundreds of feet away, she can be in front of people instantly... "
