Fantasy: Becoming stronger starts from being beaten

A middle-aged man who was talking to Li Yang immediately greeted Chen Huan with a smile when he saw Chen Huan coming.

"you are?"

In Chen Huan's impression, it seemed that he didn't know him!
"Your Excellency, I am Ai Yun, the head of Yucheng City Lord's Mansion!"

"I received an order from the city lord, and I came here to greet you and see if you need our help!"

Ai Yun said to Chen Huan with a smile.

After hearing this, Chen Huan glanced at Li Yang and saw the puzzled expression on Li Yang's face.

Immediately, Chen Huan guessed that these people were arranged by Li Xi.

Otherwise, Chen Huan really couldn't imagine how they would know him and Li Yang!

"Then there is Master Lao Ai, I really have something here, and I need Master Ai's help!"

After Chen Huan figured it out, he was secretly happy. He just wanted to sleep, so someone came to give him a pillow.

It's just that those who can buy top-quality jade must have certain strength, or financial resources.

In other words, knowing these, it is considered to know the details of their Yucheng.

"Your Excellency Chen Huan, what is the matter, if you can help, you must do your best!"

Ai Yun was taken aback for a moment, then continued to speak with a smile.

He really didn't expect that the other party actually took it seriously when it was just a polite remark!
"I want to know who bought the best jade yesterday!"

Chen Huan said with a smile, but he didn't know if this Ai Yun would agree.

After hearing this, Ai Yun was taken aback for a moment, and his smile froze.

"I don't know Your Excellency Chen Huan, why do you want to know this?"

Ai Yun returned to his usual expression, and his tone of voice became a little bad.

Chen Huan was stunned by Ai Yun's rhetorical question, but he figured it out right away.

Ai Yun's words did not directly reject him, but asked for the purpose. If it is a legitimate purpose and has no effect on their Yucheng, he should be able to give it to himself.

So, Chen Huan's mind turned quickly, and an idea came to his mind.

"Master Ai, I think that someone who can buy top-quality jade must have the best jade processing technology in Yucheng!"

"The reason why I ask this is because I want to buy a batch of jade from these people!"

"However, when choosing, you must shop around!"

"Although I can inquire about it myself in the city, the information obtained in this way will be a bit cumbersome after all."

"And Master Ai knows Yucheng very well, so I changed my mind and asked Master Ai for help!"

Chen Huan felt that this reason should not make Ai Yun refuse.

"I see!"

"His Excellency Chen Huan, you are welcome!"

After hearing this, Ai Yun felt relieved and remembered what the city lord had said to him.

If it is not necessary, don't offend the two of them, give as much convenience as you can.

"The people who bought the top-quality jade did have records, but I didn't carry them with me!"

"Your Excellency Chen Huan, and Your Excellency Li Yang, please follow me to the City Lord's Mansion."

"After all, these things cannot be taken out!"

Ai Yun can agree to Chen Huan's request, but there is a condition that he can only go to the City Lord's Mansion to see it.

"It should be, it should be, then please trouble Master Ai!"

Seeing that Ai Yun agreed, Chen Huan was delighted.

As long as you know who they are, when the time comes, go and investigate one by one, I believe you will be able to find the embryonic jade soul!

Afterwards, Chen Huan and Li Yang, led by Master Ai and his followers, headed towards the City Lord's Mansion together.

Li Yang, who hadn't spoken just now, understood all of Chen Huan's intentions.

In front of the jade pile outside the city, Chen Huan didn't choose, not because he gave up.

Instead, Chen Huan changed his mind and chose to settle for the next best thing!

With Chen Huan's cultivation strength, he can be regarded as a master in Yucheng.

Just find out who bought that batch of top-quality jade.

Then, go to these people's homes one by one to check, as long as you spend some time, you can find the so-called embryonic jade soul!

Li Yang just kept these speculations in his heart silently, and did not speak them out to communicate with Chen Huan.

After all, Chen Huan didn't tell the truth!

After a while, Ai Yun brought Chen Huan and Li Yang to the City Lord's Mansion.

Ai Yun asked the attendants to leave, and he personally brought Chen Huan and Li Yang to the study of the City Lord's Mansion.

"The city lord, His Excellency Chen Huan and His Excellency Li Yang, have brought them here!"

Ai Yun was outside the study, bowed respectfully to the study, and then said to the inside.

"Well, let's go!"

A solemn voice came from the study, and his tone cannot be questioned!

"Yes, City Lord!"

Ai Yun took two steps back before turning around and walking away step by step.

After Ai Yun walked away, the door of the study room opened slowly.

A middle-aged man walked out of it!
The man has black hair, but his temples are white!

In addition, Chen Huan also found that there were some familiar faces on the faces of the middle-aged people.

Like Li Xi, or rather, looks a bit like Li Xi!
Could it be that he has something to do with Li Xi?
"That's right, rank nine first rank!"

"It's rare for a city lord to possess such strength!"

Li Yang looked at the person who came out and said with a smile.

"Oh, you can see it!"

"Sure enough, it's just like what Li Xi said, you are a strong man!"

The middle-aged man looked at Li Yang and said without changing his face.

"My name is Ling Xiang!"

"He's the lord of Yucheng, and at the same time, Li Xi's uncle!"

"Come in!"

After Ling Xiang finished speaking, he turned and walked into the study.

Being able to see his own strength shows that this person's cultivation is at least above his own.

He had indeed been notified by Li Xi, telling him not to embarrass the two of them.

Even, as much as possible to provide some help to the two.

It turns out that this person's strength is so strong, no wonder Li Xi would issue such a reminder.

After hearing Ling Xiang's words, Chen Huan was shocked.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xiang's strength is so strong, and he is also Li Xi's uncle!
No, since Li Xi has such a strong uncle, why doesn't he help Li Xi when he encounters difficulties?

Logically speaking, as long as Ling Xiang makes a move, the problem between Yu Li and Li Xi can also be resolved.

"You must be very curious, why did Li Xi tell me that you have arrived in Yucheng!"

"I believe you already have the answer to this!"

"But why, when he was in trouble, I, the uncle, didn't make a move?"

Ling Xiang was serious, without too much expression on his face.

"Yes, City Lord Lingxiang!"

Chen Huan followed his words.

"I've always known about Li Xi's troubles, and I've been paying attention!"

"However, these are all disasters caused by himself, so he has to find a way to solve them himself!"

"I won't help him unless it is absolutely necessary, or when there is a life-and-death situation!"

Ling Xiang briefly explained about Li Xi, and then continued.

"As for Li Xi's matter, let's stop here. Let's talk about it first. What's the matter with you when you come to Yucheng?"

Ling Xiang thought, they just came to Yucheng, not for any purpose.

But when Ai Yun brought them to the City Lord's Mansion, he must have something to help.

Moreover, Ai Yun could not do the main thing.

"I want to know who bought the top-quality jade!"

Chen Huan didn't hide anything, and said directly to Ling Xiang.

"Ok?"

Ling Xiang frowned, as if he didn't like it.

"What do you want to know about these?"

"I just want to know who bought the best jade!"

Chen Huan didn't want to say the reason. The reason for fooling Ai Yun before is obviously inappropriate here.

Because of Ling Xiang, not Ai Yun!

When he made this request, Ai Yun didn't know how to deal with it properly.

That's why he brought him back and let the city lord make up his own mind.

At first, Chen Huan didn't think of it, but the moment Ai Yun stepped back, Chen Huan understood!

"Li Xi, you gave me the information and asked me to entertain you well."

"But, you are not my friends, you are just irrelevant people!"

"As for you, although you are very strong, you are not incapable of fighting!"

Ling Xiang finished speaking to Chen Huan first, then turned around and said something to Li Yang.

"Indeed, you do have strength and can fight me."

"But you also know in your heart, what kind of harm will a war between us bring to Yucheng?"

"It's just a list, you have nothing to lose!"

Li Yang admitted that people who have crossed the ninth level of the Heavenly Cauldron Realm are indeed qualified to fight him.

But Ling Xiang couldn't bear the consequences of World War I.

"exactly!"

"Jade City is gone, it can be rebuilt, but if the dignity of Jade City is gone, it will no longer be Jade City!"

"And I will no longer be the lord of Yucheng!"

Ling Xiang's attitude is very firm, the list will not be given!

"Master Lingxiang, we don't need to make trouble to this extent!"

"You should know that we want the list, and it has no effect on Yucheng."

"Or, we can change the way, exchange!"

Chen Huan didn't want to make the situation irreconcilable. Why is Ling Xiang so stubborn?

"Oh, exchange?"

"What do you want in exchange?"

Suddenly, Ling Xiang became interested.

Chen Huan said in exchange, what can he exchange with himself?

"A promise!"

Chen Huan felt that he had nothing to exchange, the only thing he had was a promise.

"Is your promise important?"

Ling Xiang showed a smile that he hadn't shown since the beginning. Obviously, it was a mockery!

"You can listen to it first!"

Chen Huan already knew that Ling Xiang would not feel the weight of the promise given in his current capacity.

But if he mentioned the city lord of his east city, then Ling Xiang would know how important his promise was.

At first, Chen Huan didn't take the matter of the Dongcheng City Lord seriously.

But from Li Xi's mouth, he understood the meaning of Dongcheng City Lord, Dongcheng City Lord, behind it represents Tiangong.

"Chen Huan, forget it, there's no need, since he won't help, then we'll find it ourselves."

Li Yang didn't want to go any further. If it was because of a list that wasn't very important, it wouldn't be worthwhile to make a promise!

"Brother Yang, you!"

Chen Huan didn't understand why Li Yang suddenly let him give up.

"You should understand!"

Li Yang smiled, it was very easy for him to ask what he wanted from others.

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Yang!"

"go!"

A smile appeared on Chen Huan's face, and Li Yang was willing to make a move, so there was nothing to worry about!

Immediately afterwards, the two of them walked outside regardless of whether Ling Xiang was nearby!
Ling Xiang followed the two to the door.

He didn't understand, just now Chen Huan still wanted the list very much, why did he give up immediately after being told by Li Yang, do they have other ways?

Those in the government who know about it will not speak out without their own permission. How can they obtain the list?

Ling Xiang really couldn't figure it out, so he closed the door, turned around and went back, and continued to deal with his own affairs.

After sitting down, Ling Xiang always felt out of his mind, so he stood up again and walked outside to Ai Yun's residence.

When he just walked outside Ai Yun's house, he saw Chen Huan and Li Yang coming out of it.

When the two came out, they happened to see Ling Xiang approaching, so they smiled at Ling Xiang and left.

"It seems that they know!"

Ling Xiang said something silently in his mouth.

Li Yang and Chen Huan returned to the inn and took out a list.

"If I had known it could be obtained so easily, I wouldn't have gone to the City Lord's Mansion!"

Chen Huan looked at the list and said with a smile.

On the list, there are not many people written, only eleven people!

"It's you who kept it secret and didn't tell me. If you had said it earlier, there would be no need for such trouble!"

Li Yang leaned on the chair proudly, he already knew Chen Huan's intention.

Next, let's see how Chen Huan makes trouble in Yucheng!

"Talking nonsense!"

Chen Huan still didn't say anything, no matter whether Li Yang had guessed it or not, he would not let go.

"Brother Yang, you have worked hard all day today, let's take a rest!"

Chen Huan wanted to send Li Yang away quickly, so that he would have time to do it!
"Okay, then go to rest first!"

Li Yang said, turned and walked outside, but stopped again when he was at the door.

"Yucheng is extraordinary, call me if you need anything!"

Li Yang gave another warning, and then left with peace of mind.

Of course Chen Huan understood what Li Yang meant, but there were some things he really couldn't say.

In the next few days, rumors of thieves were reported from almost all the wealthy households in Yucheng.

But the strange thing is that after the thieves came, they just opened the warehouse, and none of the treasures or valuables inside were lost.

This matter was quickly spread in Yucheng, and at the same time, Ling Xiang also knew about it.

"Ai Yun, how many more!"

Ling Xiang was dealing with Yucheng's affairs in front of the book case, and asked Ai Yun beside him.

"City Lord, there is only one family left, the Tang family!"

Ai Yun took out the records of the thieves entering the house, and compared them one by one.

"Well, today, you order to go down and ask Luo Liang to lead people to guard the Tang family. Once you find a thief, take it down with all your strength!"

Ling Xiang stopped the pen in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and immediately gave an order.

"Yes, City Lord!"

"City Lord, my subordinates have a question, please ask the City Lord to explain it!"

Ai Yun thought about it, and then asked Ling Xiang.

"You mean Li Xi's side!"

Ling Xiang immediately guessed the question Ai Yun wanted to ask.

"Yes, Santo!"

Ai Yun wisely did not continue to ask, he knew that Ling Xiang would tell him the reason.

"It is right to give them convenience, but the premise is that they are law-abiding!"

"Okay, let's go to work!"

"Yes, City Lord!"

In the inn, Chen Huan was thinking, why is his luck so bad!
There are so many families, one by one, they found the top-quality jade they bought, but none of them contained the embryonic spirit.

Now there is only the last family left, and Chen Huan has a faint feeling that something unexpected will happen.

Chen Huan also knew very well that the reason for this feeling was Ling Xiang's attitude!
