Chapter 110 The City Lord’s Idea Is Not Easy

After everyone left, Uncle Li chatted with Ling Chenxi for a while in the tea room.

"I'm too old to do it anymore. I'm going to take a rest. You young people can chat.

Xi girl, remember, if Li brat bullies you, tell your uncle, and he will definitely stand by you and help you. " Father Li said with a smile, and walked out of the tea room, leaving the space for the young couple.

"Xi'er, don't listen to this old man." Li Jinyi took a step forward and said to Ling Chenxi while holding her in his arms.

"Ayi, the younger brother that your uncle mentioned during the meal, is he your uncle? Is there a big age difference between them?" Ling Chenxi asked, putting his arm around Li Jinyi's waist.

“The difference between them is actually not that big. A thousand years ago, when my grandmother was six months pregnant with my uncle, the war between immortals and demons began.

At that time, my grandmother and other immortal families were protected by the Immortal Emperor in Xianxia Mountain in the immortal world. As a result, some of the family members rebelled, and my grandmother was seriously injured while trying to save her young father and other family members.

When her grandfather and his men defeated the demon army and went to pick her up, she was already dying. In the end, she forced her uncle to give birth and then said that he had passed away.

The Immortal Emperor was deeply moved by what my grandmother did, and he nurtured my uncle’s soul in a lotus pond in the fairyland until he was born into a physical body two hundred years before I was born.

But his feet were underdeveloped and he couldn't walk. So my father said my uncle was only about 200 years older than me." Li Jinyi explained.

"Then how did your uncle build the Qinglan Palace?" Ling Chenxi asked like a curious baby.

Li Jinyi thought for a while and said, "My second uncle is smarter than my father and learns things very quickly. And the lotus pond in the fairy palace is said to have been built by the Immortal Emperor for the Fairy Lingxi, and the spiritual power there is very abundant.

My second uncle had been nurtured there for 1,600 years, so how could his spiritual power be worse than that of an ordinary person? Qinglan Palace was the dark guard camp that my grandfather built at the beginning to protect Qinglan Academy.

Later, I gave it to my uncle, who developed it into its current form. On my 80th birthday, my uncle gave it to me as a gift and went traveling around the world. I don’t know where it is now. "Li Jinyi said helplessly.

"Then what did uncle say about you abandoning Qinglan Palace?"

"After I was infected with the cold poison, the older I get, the harder it is to control. And I was still one herb short of the antidote. Later I heard that there was one in the Magic Beast Forest of Qinglan Country in this plane.

I went there alone to look for the herbs, but who knew that after I found them, the cold poison would flare up, and you know what happened next." Li Jinyi said.

"Oh, then I really have to thank my cousin. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have met you. And your poison can't be cured." Ling Chenxi lowered her head and buried her head in Li Jinyi's arms and said.

"Well, Xier. It's so good to have you!" Li Jinyi hugged her tightly and shouted.

"By the way, Ayi, since we have nothing to do in the afternoon, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion and see who this big shot is and who is so capable." Ling Chenxi said curiously and seriously.

"Okay, let's go now." Li Jinyi said, pulling Ling Chenxi out of the Canglim Restaurant and heading straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

In the study room of Lingxi City Lord's Mansion

The wretched old man from the morning was conspiring with a gorgeously dressed but greasy old man in the study.

"You said that the Dingsheng Building is run by a beautiful woman and four young people, and there is a young master with high cultivation level?" asked the greasy middle-aged uncle.

"Yes, City Lord. And that beautiful lady is the leader." The wretched uncle said. It turned out that the greasy uncle was the acting City Lord, City Lord Ye, and the second uncle of Ye Xinxin, the cousin of the second prince Xiao Jingshan.

"Is there any news from the Ye Mansion in Kyoto?" City Lord Ye asked the wretched uncle.

"Not yet, but when I left Dingsheng Tower this morning, the leading beauty said that this Dingsheng Tower and the one in Kyoto have the same owner. City Lord, the young master of the Dingsheng Tower in Kyoto is the new owner of Lingxi City. Do you think she could be..."

"It's possible. Ask someone to keep a close eye on it. Remember, don't alarm Canglan Auction House and Canglim Restaurant. Aren't they on good terms with these two companies? You go down first." City Lord Ye said seriously.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." The wretched uncle said calmly.

Then City Lord Ye also left the study.

"Ling Chenxi, Ling Chenxi, you give up your job as a young lady from a general's mansion and choose to destroy my Ye family and cut off my source of income. I'll kill you." City Lord Ye said gloomily, muttering to himself.

Li Jinyi and Ling Chenxi came to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion, hid their figures, and sneaked into the mansion. They heard the conversation between City Lord Ye and the wretched uncle and learned of City Lord Ye's plan.

"They actually want to harm you. It seems we have to be careful." Li Jinyi said softly to Ling Chenxi.

"Humph, this City Lord Ye is so abominable. We must not let him succeed. Why don't we give him something to do?" Ling Chenxi said indignantly.

"What do you want him to do?" Li Jinyi said in confusion.

"Before the Ye family came to Kyoto, it was thanks to Concubine Ye De that they were able to gain a foothold. Xiao Jingshan's cultivation was based on the evil methods. How could someone who lives in a palace know about the evil cultivation? Don't you think so?" Ling Chenxi analyzed.

"You mean you suspect the Ye family has a connection with evil cultivators? If that's true, what are you going to do?" Li Jinyi said.

"Find the evidence of his connection with the evil cultivators, pass it to the two major academies, and make it public. Do you think he will cause trouble to me again?" Ling Chenxi said playfully and proudly.

"Xi girl, you are going to make the Ye family a public enemy!" Li Jinyi said with a doting smile.

"Okay, let's go in and look for it! After we're done, we'll go back to the space and let the tracking butterfly lead us out." Ling Chenxi said as he pulled Li Jinyi into the study.

Just as they went in and were about to close the door, they suddenly felt a very powerful aura approaching.

"Oh no, there's a master!" Li Jinyi immediately took Ling Chenxi to teleport into the space, not forgetting to close the study door.

They stayed in the space for a while, and Ling Chenxi asked Long Yu and Li Jinyi to set up a trap at the same time.

Ling Chenxi said solemnly: "I didn't expect there would be such a powerful person here. We must be more cautious. Ayi, let's get started. Bai Ran and Feng Wu come out to help."

The beasts nodded, flashed out of the space, and began to look for evidence in Lord Ye's study. They scattered in every corner, carefully searching every book, document, and item.

Bai Ran used his keen sense of smell to find a hidden compartment that seemed to contain something important. However, when he tried to open the compartment, he triggered an alarm. Instantly, the entire City Lord's Mansion was filled with a tense atmosphere.

The alarm bell rang and the guards rushed over. Ling Chenxi and Li Jinyi were in trouble. They had to find evidence and escape from here as soon as possible. At the critical moment, Ling Chenxi thought of a way.

She used her special powers to create chaos and distract the guards. Li Jinyi took the opportunity to sneak into the secret compartment and got the documents that might be evidence.

Just as they were about to leave, the mysterious master appeared again and a fierce battle broke out.

Li Jinyi said to the beasts with a serious expression: "You take the evidence and Chenxi into the space first, and I will be responsible for covering your retreat." After that, he turned around and faced the impending danger.

At this time, the expert had already noticed their presence, but due to Li Jinyi's barrier, he could not determine their exact location for the time being. Li Jinyi took a deep breath, quickly took out a mask and put it on, then removed the barrier. Almost at the same moment, the expert discovered him.

A thrilling battle broke out. The master flashed and rushed towards Li Jinyi like a ghost, the weapon in his hand flashing with cold light, aiming directly at Li Jinyi's vital points.

Li Jinyi's eyes turned cold, and he went forward fearlessly. The long sword in his hand drew out a sharp sword energy, which collided violently with the opponent's attack.

Instantly, the entire space was enveloped by a powerful energy wave, and the surrounding air seemed to be burning. The two sides fought back and forth, neither giving in, and every clash made a deafening noise that made people stare sideways.

In the end, it was Li Jinyi, who had a cultivation level one level higher than his, who successfully killed the Spirit Emperor master and immediately flashed into Ling Chenxi's space.

Ling Chenxi in the space watched the battle with concern. Seeing Li Jinyi coming in, he confirmed that he was not injured and said, "Let the tracking butterfly lead us out."

Li Jinyi used the Blind Eye Technique to make the tracking butterfly fly out of the City Lord's Mansion with the green silver ring hanging on it. After leaving the mansion, he removed the Blind Eye Technique and returned to Jinxi Cottage.
