The boss traveled through time in the end times: The prince was beaten by the princess again
Chapter 401 The City Lord's Secret
Chen Liang regained his former vigor and vitality, and a kind of momentum emanated from his body. Once people have hope, they will become full of vitality. Lin Qingwan was also very pleased to see the city lord like this.
At this moment, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, which had already appeared slightly, and his skin, which was so dry that it seemed to have lost its moisture, underwent a miraculous change. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were no longer simple lines, but as his smile spread, they stretched out like curves in a carefully drawn painting, full of a different kind of charm and affinity.
Even the dry skin seemed to be infected by this warm smile, emitting a hint of imperceptible vitality and energy, making the whole person look more amiable.
He bowed to them again and thanked them: "Thank you all for saving my son and my whole family from the dire straits!"
Once again, Lin Qingwan helped him and his wife up.
Chen Liang shouted behind him: "Someone come!"
Then, the maids came up with all kinds of treasures and arranged them. Upon closer inspection, there were thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, a large number of spiritual stones, and various rare materials. These were obviously the treasures of the City Lord's Mansion.
"You all saved my son, and you all uncovered the bounty I posted earlier. This is the reward that Chen paid for the bounty. Please accept it! Only then will I feel at ease~"
Chen Liang said this sincerely. Lin Qingwan and the others looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. They seemed a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Chen Liang was a little surprised. Didn't they come here for money?
Chen Liang asked slowly, "Do you have anything else to do down there? Feel free to ask. You must accept these things too~"
"Yes, just accept it, so that my husband and I can feel more at ease~" Mrs. Chen persuaded on the side. Seeing that the two really wanted to give them these things, Lin Qingwan was not a hypocritical person. He nodded slightly at Ji Qianchen, and Ji Qianchen immediately understood, so he accepted the things and put them in his storage ring.
Seeing that everyone had received their rewards, Chen Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then raised his hand slightly, signaling the servants present to leave, then closed the door and set up a soundproof cover.
Then he asked, "If you have anything to say, please feel free to speak up."
Chen Liang and Mrs. Chen stood quietly by, waiting for them to speak.
"To be honest, we came here because we have some questions to ask City Lord Chen, so I won't be polite." Lin Qingwan went straight to the point.
"Miss, please ask. I will definitely cooperate." Chen Liang said.
"I'll tell you the truth. Your illness was caused by a monster's invasion. It's not easy for you to last this long without your mind being invaded. It also shows that you have a strong will. It's also because of the joint efforts of you and your wife that you were able to hold on until we arrived."
Lin Qingwan paused, remained silent for a while, and continued to ask: "You also know what the appearance of the monster means. So, do you have anything to say about how Master Ling was possessed by the monster?"
Chen Liang and his wife were not surprised to hear this, because they had guessed it from the rumors before, but they just didn't want to accept it. Now that Lin Qingwan confirmed it in public, their uncertain hearts were also confirmed.
"Humph! It's your Chen family's business!" Mrs. Chen was very angry when she thought about this, just like when she blamed Chen Liang for letting her son go to Beihai for training. She was very dissatisfied with this. When she said this, Mrs. Chen's chest rose and fell violently, and she was furious when she thought about this matter!
"Ah...it's indeed my fault, but this was my son's own choice. Madam, please don't be angry. Aren't our hardships over now? I have my own plans for the future!" Chen Liang explained helplessly, feeling a little angry.
"You still have your own plans?! If you had already had a plan, would my Xuan'er have to suffer like this? We both wouldn't be in such a miserable state now!" When Mrs. Chen heard Chen Liang say that he had his own plan, she became even more furious. If there were no guests here, she would have taken into account his face as the city lord and she would have been unable to resist taking action!
"Hey, can you tell me the specific reasons? Let's stop arguing~" Ji Qianchen waved his folding fan and advised impatiently, although his way of persuasion was a bit direct.
Realizing that her benefactors were getting impatient, Mrs. Chen suppressed her anger, wiped away her tears, and said to Chen Liang, "You go and tell the benefactors!"
Chen Liang did not dare to offend his wife again. He felt very guilty. In the past, his wife was such a kind and gentle person, but now she suffered such a great crime because of him. He could only silently endure his wife's anger, hoping to relieve her anxiety.
Chen Liang sighed and said, "It all started with the Chen family. I was ordered by the Chen family to guard this city. My city is close to the North Sea, which is rich in resources. Countless cultivators come here to seek opportunities, which has also driven the development of my city. Among all the towns managed by the Chen family, my Linhai City has brought the most profit to the Chen family!
A few months ago, a group of cultivators went to the North Sea to look for opportunities. Most of them were in the late Jindan stage. In the end, only one person came back. That person looked exactly like Xuan'er, but he died within three days. I found a map in that person's clothes, which turned out to be the location of the legendary Dragon Palace! I was shocked and knew that this matter was of great importance! I reported this matter to the family.
Soon, the family sent a secret order to me, the mayor of Linhai City, to send someone to find out the specific information and report the more detailed situation to the family. Originally, I wanted to go by myself, but Xuan'er insisted on going in my place.
Later, he came back and became that person. I blame myself for this.
Now it seems that the so-called Dragon Palace must be full of monsters. I shouldn't have listened to the family's arrangements!"
After Chen Liang finished speaking, he choked up a bit and continued, "In the early years, I had some conflicts with the head of the Chen family. At that time, I wanted to leave the Chen family, but later I couldn't bear it and volunteered to come here to guard Linhai City. I thought I would live forever in this small town on the border, away from the Chen family, but I didn't expect this to happen. I should have listened to my wife's advice earlier and left the Chen family! I wouldn't have to let my son take this risk for me!
They knew there was danger, but they never sent anyone to help. They asked me to go alone to investigate. I had written very clearly in the letter that the place was extremely dangerous and there was a high risk of death. However, they didn't care about our lives. They only wanted to know if there was any treasure there! How ridiculous and sad! "
Chen Liang talked about this matter with a heavy heart and anger. He said a lot in one breath, but Lin Qingwan still didn't hear the key message.
So she continued to ask: "What happened there? Didn't your son mention it to you?"
Madam Chen sighed and replied, "I was so busy treating him at the time that I didn't have time to ask him in detail. Now, he is out of danger. If you want to know anything, you can ask him when he wakes up. He will definitely tell you in detail!"
