"Brother, brother? You... why are you sitting there?" Xie Yunrou was frightened, she looked around quickly like a thief, and was relieved when she saw only a few familiar faces around.

Even if she is as willful as she is, she knows that it is extremely disrespectful to take the seat of honor in someone else's house. If the city lord of Ningzhou City sees it, it may cause some disputes.

However, the nervous Xie Yunrou waited for her brother to look at him as if he was mentally retarded.

"What's wrong with the city lord sitting here?"

"Of course no problem." The dean of the Martial God Academy took the topic, with a respectful expression on his face, "Now the entire Ningzhou City belongs to City Lord Xie, a mere City Lord's mansion, and City Lord Xie can naturally sit wherever he wants."

"What?" Xie Yunrou was frightened again. She pointed to the throne of the city lord above, and looked at the dean who spoke in shock, "Dean, dean, you just said that Ning...Ningzhou City is my brother of?"

"Yeah, the name of Ningzhou City has become a thing of the past, and now it's called Pingyang City." The dean smiled and looked at Xie Yunrou's shocked expression. Good show.

Xie Yunrou was in a daze, she had only been in seclusion for half a month, what happened in the meantime?Why does Ningzhou City belong to his brother?

The white-bearded old man touched his beard, then patted his head suddenly, and took out a very beautifully packaged box from his wide sleeve, "By the way, this is a gift specially prepared by the old man to thank the city lord. Congratulations to the city lord. The joy of breaking through to the holy level."

Xie Xun glanced lightly, then nodded reservedly: "Troubleshooting."

Since he took over Ningzhou City, countless people have come to congratulate him on his promotion. Even the City Lord's Mansion of Anyang City and Wangjing, the imperial city, sent envoys to congratulate him.

The white-bearded old man didn't mind his indifferent attitude at all. After all, he was a holy rank venerable, so this attitude is only normal now.

In Warrior Continent, as long as one is strong enough, even arrogance is taken for granted.

"City Lord Xie and Lingmei haven't seen each other for a long time, so they must have something to say, so this old man won't disturb the reunion of your brother and sister."

Xie Xun nodded, and ordered to his subordinates beside him, "Have someone tidy up the two guest rooms."

After finishing speaking, Xie Xun looked at the white-bearded old man again, "The dean has walked for so long and is tired from running around, why don't you stay for two more days?"

The dean smiled and stroked his beard, "It's just right, this old man also appreciates the current appearance of this city."

The old man with the white beard left with that subordinate, and the others were also waved away by Xie Xun. Only Xie Yunrou and him were left in the huge hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Brother...you..." Xie Yunrou opened her mouth, she was frightened for so many reasons that she didn't know where to start asking.

After a while, she finally found a topic that couldn't go wrong.

"Congratulations, brother, for advancing to the holy rank."

Although she and the old housekeeper had already guessed, but now the guess has been confirmed, so the congratulations that were thought of long ago came in handy.

"The matter is over. If you still don't want to study in Wushen Academy, you can choose to stay and return to Pingyang City with me."

The deep and magnetic voice said what Xie Yunrou had dreamed of before.

But Xie Yunrou suddenly felt reluctance. If she had been before, she would have been eager to go back, but after staying in the Martial God Academy for so long, she has learned a lot, and even made a great breakthrough in her realm.

Rather than being a rich lady who relies on her elder brother to make others respect her in the City Lord's Mansion, she seems to prefer someone who relies on her own strength to gain respect from others.

Therefore, Xie Yunrou impulsively said: "I'd better go back to Pingyang City after the holiday. I found that the Martial God Academy is actually quite good."

Xie Xun was a little surprised, "If that's the case, then do whatever you want."

The topic was opened, and Xie Yunrou also had the courage to ask her most curious question, "Brother, what happened? How did Ningzhou City become the territory of our Pingyang City? What about the original Ningzhou City Lord? The five masters The city has always been friendly with us for generations, we swallowed Ningzhou City... the other three main cities will not join forces to deal with our Pingyang City, right?"

Xie Xun didn't answer her, stepped down from the throne of the city lord, looked at her and said: "You seem to have gained a lot in the Martial God Academy, and your realm has also improved. It just so happens that you are free today. Let me try you."

Xie Yunrou: "..." Did she say something wrong again?Why did my brother suddenly find an excuse to beat her? ?

Competing with a holy level, she is a martial artist who has just upgraded to the seventh rank of the Xiantian realm, isn't she clearly courting death?

"I will suppress my cultivation to be at the same level as yours, and I will give you ten moves." Xie Xun said lightly.

Xie Yunrou rolled her eyes, suppressed her cultivation to the same level as hers and gave her ten moves. Isn't this just letting her win for nothing?

Xie Yunrou said evilly to the gallbladder, "Okay, then ask brother for advice."

As soon as the words fell, Xie Yunrou pulled out the whip from her waist, and the red whip directly attacked the person in front like a fire dragon.

Xie Xunyun dodged the whip lightly, and even counted her down.

"one."

Another whip, still the same result as last time.

"Two... three..."

Xie Yunrou gritted her teeth, but she still didn't believe it, and used her newly learned whipping method.

"...seven...eight..."

Xie Xun raised his hand to catch the whip that was coming, and said casually: "Ten moves are over, it's my turn."

Xie Yunrou was taken aback for a moment, and fell to the ground without even seeing the movement of the attack.

"Brother, you cheated!" Xie Yunrou looked at the whip in her hand, and at her brother, whose hair hadn't been messed up from beginning to end, and couldn't believe that she was so vulnerable.

"I only used ordinary moves, and I didn't use my inner strength." Xie Xun gave her a cold look, "You only heard me say that I will suppress my cultivation to the same level as yours, but you forgot that even if my cultivation level is the same as yours, You are the same, but the moves you have practiced for so many years are still there."

Xie Yunrou was dumbfounded, realizing that she had taken it for granted, and got up from the ground resentfully.

"So the five main cities you thought were friendly from generation to generation are not what you thought." Xie Xun continued.

Xie Yunrou grasped the point this time, she looked at her brother with a questioning look: "...So brother you beat me up, is it because of this reason?"

Xie Xun glanced at her without denying, "Don't be too silly and sweet and take things for granted."

"However, your brother is very happy that you chose to stay in Wushen Academy to study."

There was a gentle look in the eyes of the cold and ruthless holy venerable, "You are much more sensible than before."

Xie Yunrou was stunned. She hadn't seen such a brother for a long time. At this moment, time seemed to turn back to the past, and her brother was still the one who doted on her.

"Although no one dares to touch you in one day, you are the only one who can really protect you in this world." Xie Xun picked up the whip and stuffed it into Xie Yunrou's hand.

If Xie Yunrou chooses to go back to Pingyang City with him, for the sake of the only blood relationship, he will still protect her safety and choose a suitable husband for her who can take care of her for the rest of her life.

But Xie Xun felt that whether it was him or the Pingyang city lord in the original plot, he would prefer to see Xie Yunrou have the power to protect himself.

Xie Yunrou blinked her eyes, suppressing the sudden burst of tears, "Brother, you..."

As soon as she spoke, Xie Yunrou was taken aback by her strong nasal voice.

However, her elder brother didn't seem to hear it. The man with white hair and black clothes walked towards the door without looking back, but when he passed the threshold, the black cloak behind his back was blown high by the wind.

For a moment, Xie Yunrou felt her eyes dazzled, as if she saw two overlapping figures.

One is the elder brother who was gentle and doting in the past, and the other is the elder brother who is indifferent and serious now.

……

Xie Yunrou stood for a while, then suddenly seemed to think of something, and walked outside quickly.

A servant happened to pass by, and she stopped, "Where is the guest room?"

Xie Yunrou remembered the dean's expression of suppressed laughter along the way, now that she knew the truth, how could she not know that the dean of the dignified Martial God Academy, a grand master, was actually planning to watch her play along the way.

The servant was startled, but perhaps he had been ordered, and respectfully said: "Go to the left, follow the corridor until you reach the rockery, and then turn right—"

"Take me there." Xie Yunrou raised her chin, her posture was still arrogant but her eyes did not have the usual arrogant and savage feeling.

The servant bent down and made a gesture of invitation: "You come with the little one."

The City Lord's Mansion in Ningzhou City is slightly smaller than the City Lord's Mansion in Pingyang City, but the layout shows the vulgar taste of its original owner, and it is not as quiet and elegant as the City Lord's Mansion in Pingyang City.

The servant stopped and pointed to the open yard, "Miss, this is it."

Xie Yunrou waved his hand, "Okay, you go down, I will go in by myself."

The servant retreated, Xie Yunrou walked in, but just in time to see the old man with white beard sitting at the table in the yard, smiling at him toothlessly, looking at his expression, he seemed to have expected her to come.

Xie Yunrou gritted her teeth, "Don't you feel uneasy about the dean of the dignified college making fun of your students all day long?"

"You don't want to know, how did Ningzhou City become your elder brother?" The old man with white beard stopped Xie Yunrou's questioning instantly with one sentence.

Xie Yunrou walked to the other side of the table and sat down, carrying the teapot to refill his cup, "Come on, you drink tea all the time, talk slowly."

"This matter, we have to start with the siege of monsters—"

The water in the teapot gradually bottomed out, and Xie Yunrou's expression became more and more angry. When she heard that the two masters challenged her brother at the same time, she couldn't hold back and slapped the table.

"He's a grandmaster anyway, why are you so shameless?"

"You girl, how do you talk?" The old man with white beard pretended to be unhappy and said, "If you scold those two, you can scold those two, why do you bring the master to scold together?"

"I didn't mean you were old, come on, you drink tea all the time." Xie Yunrou picked up the teapot to refill him, but found that the teapot was empty.

Xie Yunrou was a little embarrassed, and then put down the teapot as if nothing had happened.

"The servants of the City Lord's Mansion are too good at doing things. It's better to be the servants of the City Lord's Mansion in Pingyang City."

"Since it's so good, why don't you go back with your elder brother?" The white-bearded old man's eyes seemed to see through everything, Xie Yunrou blushed, "I... my elder brother is the only holy rank venerable on the mainland, and I, as his My dear sister, you can't embarrass him."

"The cultivation of the Xiantian realm is too low."

The old man with white beard asked again: "Aren't you afraid that others will look at you with disappointment?"

"What am I afraid of?" Xie Yunrou raised her head proudly, "They are just jealous of me. I am the younger sister of a holy rank venerable. This is an irreversible fact. If they are envious, they have the luck to be reincarnated! "

The white-bearded old man smiled, "It seems that you have gained a lot from this retreat."

After finishing speaking, he looked up at the blue sky again, closed his eyes and sighed, "This life is not in vain for an old man."

After living for so many years, I have no regrets in my life to see someone break through to the holy level.

A majestic momentum dissipated from the courtyard, Xie Yunrou was in a trance for a while, and she couldn't lift her head under the pressure of a force.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps, and Xie Yunrou felt the pressure on her body loosen.

She raised her head, and found that her whole body was covered with a light-colored barrier.

Xie Yunrou had read a lot of materials in the Wushen Academy, so she naturally recognized what this barrier was.

her brother's realm.

The old man with a white beard opened his eyes, and when he saw the barrier on Xie Yunrou's body with radiant eyes, he felt a little guilty.

"Suddenly I got something in my heart, I was so immersed in it for a while, I forgot to thank you girl."

Xie Yunrou shook her head, didn't care, but asked curiously, "Did the dean make a breakthrough?"

The white-bearded old man got up and saluted Xie Xun who walked in, "This breakthrough in the old man's state of mind is thanks to the city lord Xie who untied the old man's long-standing knot."

"The dean has preached and educated countless people, and he is highly respected. It is only a matter of time before his mental state breaks through." Xie Xun slightly moved away from the ceremony.

"Maybe it won't be long before the city lord wants to congratulate the dean on his promotion."

"Borrow the city lord's auspicious words." The old man with a white beard replied with a smile.

Xie Yunrou, who was out of the situation, was dazed again. She obviously didn't see what her brother did, so why did the old dean just say that he made a breakthrough?

But Xie Yunrou didn't have much time to think. After two days of relaxing in Ningzhou City, she had to follow the old dean back to the academy.

After Xie Yunrou left, Xie Xun also began to prepare for returning to Pingyang City.

All the affairs of Ningzhou City have been taken over and are on the normal track, and it is time to go back.

With one order, the convoy back to the city was quickly ready.

The people in Pingyang were most excited when they heard the news. Ever since they learned the reason for attacking Ningzhou City, these people's worship of their city lord has reached the point of obsession.

Their city lord is a holy rank venerable. In order to protect Pingyang City against the ninth-level monsters alone, in order to protect his own city residents, he did not hesitate to go thousands of miles to kill the mastermind behind the scenes.

The people of Pingyang City are always proud of having such a city lord who is extremely protective.

In this kind of excited anticipation day and night, finally, one day near the end of the month, news came that the convoy had arrived at the boundary of Pingyang City.

Before dawn on this day, the aristocratic family heads of Pingyang City and the people in the city spontaneously gathered at the gate of the city after receiving the news.

As the dawn deepened, under the sky full of gorgeous morning glow, the unfurled dark red flag and the carriage engraved with the Xie family emblem came into everyone's eyes.
