Zhao Xiaqiu took the whip from Su Baiyi and asked, "City Lord, where are you going?"
"Of course it's the City Lord's Mansion." Mo Wen walked forward with a knife in his hand and walked side by side with the slowly moving carriage.
"City Lord, why do you want to see me?" Su Baiyi originally planned to wait before asking, but he was so curious that he couldn't help but asked directly.
"I want the Immortal Book on you." Mo Wen said with a smile, "What do you think of this answer?"
Su Baiyi was stunned for a moment: "The city lord is joking."
"The most famous family in the world is eyeing the immortal book on you. How can I, a master of the evil ways, not even think about it?" Mo Wen raised his eyebrows.
Su Baiyi and Nangong Xier looked at each other without replying. Nangong Xier looked at Mo Wen and said, "Although the Demon City Lord's actions are unpredictable, he is never a murderer or robber."
Mo Wen smiled and said, "Girl, you are very beautiful."
Nangong Xier's face changed.
"As beautiful as your mother." Mo Wen continued.
Nangong Xier's expression became even uglier: "Have you seen my mother?"
Mo Wen nodded: "Yes, I have. Your mother is the third most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life."
Nangong Xier frowned slightly: "Who are the second most beautiful and the first most beautiful person?"
"The most beautiful one is naturally Sister Jimo." Mo Wen said loudly.
"Sister Jimo? Jimo Huaxue? Second sister-in-law?" Nangong Xier asked confusedly.
"Ahem." Mo Wen coughed in dissatisfaction, "From now on, call her the Lord of Jimo City or the Sword Fairy in front of me, or I will throw you two out. Everyone thinks that my Demon City is a fierce and evil place, but you should know in your hearts that this is the safest place in the world."
Su Baiyi suddenly realized: "No wonder, no wonder, it turns out that City Lord Mo likes Er..."
"Hmm?" Mo Wen tightened his grip on the knife handle.
Su Baiyi quickly changed the topic: "You like the Lord of Jimo City."
Mo Wen smiled and shook his head: "I don't like her - I love her."
Su Baiyi was stunned, then stopped laughing and quickly covered his mouth. After holding back his laughter for a while, he skipped the topic: "Who is the second most beautiful person?"
Mo Wen looked at Su Baiyi and said seriously, "It's your mother."
Su Baiyi was a little puzzled: "Why are you cursing?"
"I didn't curse anyone, it was really your mother." Mo Wen felt helpless.
Su Baiyi thought of the question that had troubled him for a long time, and asked hurriedly: "Yes, yes, some people say that my mother is as beautiful as a fairy, including you, the city lord, but some people also say that my mother is plain-looking. Why is that? Are they talking about the same person?"
Mo Wen asked in confusion: "Miss Nangong, have you also met Mr. Su's mother?"
Nangong Xier shook her head: "Of course I haven't seen him, but my mother has, and she told me that Second Palace Master Su is plain-looking and has a bad personality."
"Second Palace Master Su? Sister Su Dianmo?" Mo Wen scratched his brow with his hand. "This matter is complicated. Hahahahaha. I need to think about it carefully before I can answer your question."
"Don't think about it. I believe in your vision, City Lord." Su Baiyi said loudly, "My mother must be an unparalleled beauty."
"Okay." Mo Wen nodded slightly.
"But City Lord Mo, you still haven't answered my question. Why did you call me here?" Su Baiyi asked.
"To protect you." Mo Wen replied casually.
"Protect me? But why you?" Su Baiyi was puzzled.
"As far as I can guess, there are only three places that can fight against the power of Shanglin Tiangong and have the potential to help you. The first one is the Tianshi Mansion in Qingcheng Mountain." Mo Wen said.
Su Baiyi was even more puzzled: "I have never had any involvement with the Taoist sect."
"This is the origin of the previous generation. However, the Dao Sect does things in accordance with the Way of Heaven, and looks to Heaven rather than man. If Heaven says that you should be killed, the Dao Sect will kill you without hesitation, and even the Dao Lord can only raise his sword." Mo Wen raised two fingers, "The second one is naturally the Academy."
Nangong Xier hurriedly said: "My academy will naturally protect our disciples, and my academy has a Confucian sage in charge, and gentlemen protect the mountain. If we go back to the academy at this time, I don't believe that Shanglin Tiangong dares to surround the mountain."
"Mr. Rusheng, gentlemen, I naturally have great respect for you. But when the academy does things, it doesn't look at heaven or people, but at the world. The academy always stands on the side of justice. In order to maintain the stability of the world, it can sacrifice itself, and of course it may also sacrifice a disciple." Mo Wen sighed lightly, "It's hard to say that they are wrong, and they don't think they are right, but sometimes they do that."
Nangong Xier wanted to refute, but she felt that what Mo Wen said made sense, so she asked again: "Where is the third place?"
Mo Wen shrugged: "The third place is my Demon City."
"One of them looks at the sky, the other looks at the world. What is Demon City looking at?" Su Baiyi asked.
Mo Wen patted his chest and said, "Devil City, look at me."
Zhao Xiaqiu shouted loudly: "Everyone in Demon City is united and will follow the city lord's lead!" The voice was so loud that Su Baiyi and Nangong Xier beside him trembled with fear.
Mo Wen smiled and took it up: "As for me, it depends on my mood. I am in a good mood right now, so I will save you."
Su Baiyi said helplessly: "If he's in a bad mood one day, he'll just throw us out."
"As long as you don't call Hua Xue's name randomly, it's hard for me to be in a bad mood now." Mo Wen said quietly.
"The city is surrounded by a powerful enemy and the whole city is on alert. How can the city lord be in a good mood?" Su Baiyi was puzzled.
"We're here." Zhao Xia Qiu pulled the reins and stopped the carriage in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Arrange for them to have a good rest." Mo Wen picked up the golden knife, turned around and was about to leave.
"Don't the city lord want to rest?" Su Baiyi asked.
Mo Wen's figure had already drifted away: "I'm very happy today, I want to go have a drink by myself."
Su Baiyi turned his head and looked at Zhao Xiaqiu: "Your city lord has a very special temper."
Zhao Xiaqiu nodded: "It is indeed special, but it can be seen that the city lord is really happy today."
"How did you know that?" Su Baiyi asked.
"He talked to you a lot today. He only talked so much when he was in a good mood, and he always smiled when he talked to you." Zhao Xiaqiu thought for a moment, "It felt like I met an old friend."
"I'm afraid it's because of my second sister-in-law..." Su Baiyi said in a low voice.
"I hope this is the last time you call her like this in your life." A cold voice sounded in Su Baiyi's ears, and the man in golden clothes and carrying a golden knife on his back fell back to Su Baiyi's side.
Su Baiyi was so frightened that he shuddered all over: "City Lord, why are you so elusive?"
"Her name is Jimo Huaxue, and she will be the wife of the Lord of Demon City in the future." Mo Wen jumped up and left again, "Please remember this."
Nangong Xier shook her head and said, "What a weird person."
Su Baiyi smiled and said, "I feel like we've known each other for a long time."
