The lord is always dishonest [Transmigration Book]

The next morning.

Qi Zhao and Xie Shen went to Cangwu Mountain.

At this time in early autumn, the sycamore trees on the mountain are just right, looking like flames in the past.Qi Zhao entered the barrier, and saw Nie Pan and Wei Jiaze by the stream next to the wooden house.

Wei Jiaze put a lot of medicinal ingredients in front of him, and he was using his sense of smell to identify them. Nie Pan sat on the side and looked at him with a smile in his eyes. From time to time, he took out a flower from behind and mixed it in. Wei Jiaze noticed the clue, and said nothing. But the corner quietly evoked a smile.

He thought that Nie Pan couldn't see, but he didn't know that all his appearance was carefully watched by others, and he became a unique silhouette in those gentle eyes.

Since it is affectionate.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Nie Pan turned around and smiled when he saw them, "You are here."

He knew that they must have something urgent to come here, after whispering a few words to Wei Jiaze, he got up and went to the other side with Xie Shen.

Wei Jiaze was still distinguishing medicinal ingredients from a distance, Qi Zhao went over and sat down next to him, without saying a word, looking down at the gurgling stream below.

In the end, it was Wei Jiaze who spoke first, his voice was very soft, "Qi Zhao, are you and City Lord Xie a Taoist couple?"

Qi Zhao smiled and hummed.

Wei Jiaze stopped talking, and spoke again after a while, his voice was lower than before, "It's really enviable that you are like this, it's good."

The envy and melancholy in the words were clear at a glance, Qi Zhao knew his old relationship with Nie Pan, thought for a while, and asked hesitantly, "Zhou Ze, Yun Shen has been taking care of you these few days, what do you think of him?"

"Good."

"Are the eyes all right?"

"Good."

"Are you still used to living there?"

"like."

"Hmm..." Qi Zhao didn't know what to say, so he could only choose to chat awkwardly, "The flowers in your hand are very pretty."

In Wei Jiaze's hand was the flower that Nie Pan just put in. Hearing this, his fingers tightened. Although he couldn't see it, he still lowered his head, "What color is it...?"

"Red gold, the petals are red, and there are red circles around the edges, very beautiful."

Qi Zhao briefly described the appearance of the flower, Wei Jiaze was silent, and lightly stroked its leaves with his fingers, after a long time, he suddenly opened his mouth.

"Mr. Qi, I actually envy you very much."

"Ok?"

"In life, it's easy to get but hard to keep. If the two of you are too far apart, it's even harder to go. You and City Lord Xie are both people with no distracting thoughts. They are content and happy, but I don't even dare to have extravagant wishes."

He looked into the distance with both eyes, as if he was remembering something, and finally, he whispered, "It's all good luck."

Qi Zhao understood the meaning of what he said, and in fact what he said was correct. The relationship between him and Nie Pan was, in the final analysis, mostly a matter of fate.

He was silent for a while, then looked at Wei Jiaze, "Actually, there are almost no people in this world who have no distracting thoughts. I can't do it, but I know one thing."

Wei Jiaze looked over in doubt.

Qi Zhao made up his mind, and said word by word, "No matter what, Xie Shen will not harm me."

Wei Jiaze's fingers trembled violently, and the red-gold flower in his hand fell to his hand, stained with dirt.

Qi Zhao sighed in his heart, picked up the flower, wiped off the dirt from the petals, and put it back in his hand, without saying a word.

The surroundings became silent in an instant, and for a long time, only the rustling of leaves and the gurgling of the stream could be heard.

About two quarters of an hour later, Xie Shen and Nie Pan returned.

Nie Pan keenly noticed that Wei Jiaze's mood had changed, and looked at Qi Zhao, who stood beside Xie Shen and just smiled and said nothing.

He had no choice but to walk behind Wei Jiaze and bend down, "Aze, what's wrong?"

Wei Jiaze froze all over, his complexion slightly complicated, but the moment he raised his head, he retracted all of it, still looking calm as usual, and shook his head, "It's okay."

He didn't want to say it, and Nie Pan couldn't ask, so he slowed down his tone, "Ah Ze, I have something to go out with Xie Shen, I'll help you in first."

Wei Jiaze nodded, put his hand on his and stood up, Nie Pan sent him back to the wooden house, and came out with a serious expression.

"Let's go."

Qi Zhao had never heard him speak in such a tone, but he had the aura of the second city lord of the Floating Life Realm. Xie Shen felt the same way, nodded, and turned around.

They are going to the Temple of the Phoenix.

On the way, Xie Shen told Qi Zhao about his plan with Nie Pan, and the Elder's Mansion could no longer hold back, so it was short of fire, and the key to this fire was Nie Pan and the Phoenix Order.

The reason why the Elder's Mansion is so blatant now is because they know that Nie Pan is seriously injured and his life card is damaged, and they believe that he will not survive, so they are confident.

If news spread at this time that Nie Pan had recovered from his injury and would return to take over Phoenix City in a few days, it would be difficult for the Elder's Mansion not to panic.

So there was only one way for them to go in front of them—to contain Xie Shen, take away the Phoenix Token from him, cut off all his escape routes before Nie Pan came back, and let everything settle in advance.

It is already obvious that the Elder's Mansion has something to do with those fallen demons. Xie Shenxiu's cultivation is a heavenly rank, and they are incomparable. So at this time, if those fallen demons are used by them, they will use them without reservation. If not, It is also inevitable to conspire with the people behind it.

As for what will happen next, Nie Pan has already laid out the situation, and they can only sink down.

The Phoenix Temple is part of the Bureau.

too complicated.

After listening to them, Qi Zhao only had this one thought.

He quietly approached Xie Shen, "Let's settle this matter and return to Wanjing City as soon as possible, it's too scary."

Xie Shen smiled slowly and said hello, stretched out his hand to stroke his hair, when Nie Pan saw his eyes hurting, he couldn't help but move to the side.

Soon, the Phoenix Temple arrived.

When Nie Pan came out of Cangwu Mountain, he had already transformed into Qin Yu's appearance. Not afraid of being seen by the secret agents of the elder's mansion, Xie Shen cast a barrier and closed the door after entering.

"let's start."

They stood in front of Nie Pan's fate tablet, the red-gold vine-wood tablet, the cracks on it were more licked than the last time Qi Zhao saw it, and it was almost halfway through.

Nie Pan's expression remained calm, as if it wasn't his fate card at all. He took a step forward and covered the life card with the red-gold light in his palm. In the red light, the cracks on the life card slowly closed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Get up until there is no trace left.

Qi Zhao was a little surprised.

Can't make a fake on the promised fate card?

Nie Pan withdrew his hand, his lips turned pale, "This is a hereditary secret technique of the Lord's Mansion of Phoenix City. It uses the power of blood to temporarily cover up the cracks. It was done by our ancestors in order to calm people's hearts during the turmoil thousands of years ago. I never thought that they will return to the same place after a thousand years. .”

He laughed mockingly, "The power struggle in Phoenix City has been going on for too long, and it's time to end it completely."

Qi Zhao didn't speak, spiritual power accumulated in his palm, and it slowly entered into his blood.

Nie Pan shook his head, "Don't bother, it's useless, blood power is different from spiritual power, once it's consumed it can't be repaired, even if you-"

Then the words stopped suddenly.

He felt a steady stream of warmth melt into his blood, and the spiritual power that had been exhausted for a while suddenly swam away, gradually connecting into a blood line.

It actually...was repaired.

Now the surprised person turned into Nie Pan. He was stunned for a while, then turned to Xie Shen and smiled, "I said before that you are a blessed person, but now it seems that it is not true at all."

Xie Shen accepted the words with peace of mind, "Yeah."

Nie Pan smiled helplessly, "Now that the game has started, my life card has been restored, and they won't doubt the news you released. For the rest, just follow the plan."

Xie Shen hummed.

There was nothing wrong here, Xie Shen withdrew the barrier, and the three of them went out together, Nie Pan was worried that Wei Jiaze was alone on Cangwu Mountain, and would go back after going out.

He said goodbye to Qi Zhao and Xie Shen, turned around with a smile, and quickly disappeared into the alley.

After he left, Qi Zhao looked at Xie Shen, "Let's go back too."

Xie Shen smiled and said hello, leaned towards him, and gently held his hand.

……

In the afternoon, Xie Shen called the Phoenix Nine Guards to the study of the City Lord's Mansion to plan for the next game.

Qi Zhao had nothing to do, so he went to Phoenix Mountain to check on Qin Xiu first, and then went down the mountain after making sure everything went well, and met Qin Wan and Xu Yan on the way.

They were planning to go to the Martial Arts Field. Seeing Qi Zhao, Xu Yan's eyes lit up, "Qi Zhao, I think you seem to be doing well today, do you want to go to the competition?"

"..."

Xu Yan continued, "Come on, come on, you see Yuan Qi is so lazy, how can you be missing?"

When he said this, Qi Zhao realized that Yuan Qi was also there. The latter was lying on Qin Lan's face drowsily. After noticing Qi Zhao's gaze, he lazily raised his hand to say hello, and then closed his eyes again.

Qi Zhao: "...Isn't it too cruel and inhumane for you to pull him out even when he's so tired?"

"Cough, it's a trivial matter." Xu Yan coughed dryly. "Speaking of which, he's so sleepy because we sneaked into the next door last night, but we didn't see anything."

Qi Zhao was startled.

"We plan to continue tonight, but before that, you'd better have a good fight with me first."

Saying that, he stepped forward and pulled Qi Zhao towards the direction of the Martial Arts Field. Behind him, Qin Lan also followed up with Yuan Qi on his back. Qi Zhao had no choice but to go with them.

There are still a lot of people in the martial arts arena. Qi Zhao planned to go up today, so he went behind the rattan wall with Qin Yu and Xu Yan. There were many Lingzhi masters who came to compete today. Qi Zhao went up to draw the battle cards, and saw the number on it was nineteen.

Xu Yan took a look and said disappointedly, "I'm eighteen, only one digit short. It's a pity, but it will be my turn sooner or later... Speaking of which, who is NO.19?"

After the voice fell, someone in the corner spoke, "Here."

The man came out unhurriedly, his white clothes moved slightly, and his smile was clear.

It turned out to be Chi Mu, who had never heard from him before.

The author has something to say: City Lord Xie: "I don't like Phoenix City, I just want to bring Qi Zhao back to Wanjing City to fall in love."

Qi Zhaozhao: "...um."
