The city lord had truly prepared a thank-you banquet. After they gradually dispersed, he turned to the Third Elder and Bai Suning of the academy and invited them earnestly, "Third Elder, Miss Bai, thank you for being here this time. It's only then that my city can recover."

"You just heard it. Everyone wants you to have a meal."

"Why don't we go to the City Lord's Mansion and have a meal now?"

"In that case, we won't be polite." The third elder did not refuse.

This matter is about Bai Suning, it would be bad if he refused.

but……

City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord looked at the few people left, and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Where are the students and elders from the academy?"

"The mission has been completed. Let them go back first." The third elder took the initiative to speak, his whole person giving people a gentle and refreshing temperament. "The academy has a lot of courses. It's not good to delay too long."

City Lord: "..."

Will this delay the meal time?

"In that case, please follow me." The city lord didn't want to say anything more, after all, everyone had left. "The banquet is ready."

"Thank you for your help."

Bai Suning went there with Jun Yunyan.

When she was about to sit down, she subconsciously wanted to walk over to Cangqing and sit next to him.

Unexpectedly...

"Cangqing, let's go together..."

"Come here." Before he could finish his words, he felt someone grab his collar, and then he heard a man's deep voice in his ear, "Sit with me."

Bai Suning: "..."

A glimmer of understanding flashed across Cangqing's eyes.

Seeing that they were all seated, the city lord raised his glass to toast them: "Thank you for what happened today, Miss Bai. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have become of our city after we left."

"Let's not talk about it. It's just a piece of cake." Bai Suning smiled and picked up the wine glass.

Just as she was about to drink, she noticed something unusual in the wine.

She frowned and sniffed.

[No need to smell it, this wine has been spiked.] Jun Yunyan didn't touch his glass the entire time. He glanced at it and sent her a message.

Bai Suning's whole body froze.

Why add more ingredients to a good thing? City Lord...

Could it be that he wants to harm them?

"What's wrong with Miss Bai?" The city lord asked with some confusion when he saw her holding the wine glass but not drinking it.

The third elder and others also looked at her.

Bai Suning held the wine glass, not knowing whether to put it down or drink it, so she could only smile awkwardly: "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered that I'm not very good at drinking. I felt a little dizzy when I smelled the alcohol just now."

"Hahahaha." The city lord laughed heartily, looking at Bai Suning with a loving look in his eyes, "In that case, you should drink more. People who rarely drink can taste the rich aroma of my wine better."

"This..." Bai Suning hesitated.

Jun Yunyan glanced at her and continued to send her a voice message: [This isn't a poison, it's just something that can make people unconscious.]

Bai Suning looked towards him.

Isn’t it scary to make people unconscious?

"Just use your wood spirit root to purify it." Jun Yunyan gave her some advice, looking at her with the most gentle eyes possible.

There was a hint of surprise between Bai Suning's brows.

It seems that he didn't expect that wood spirit roots could be used for purification.

After careful consideration.

She calmly used the wood spirit root to purify the wine, and then drank the wine in the cup.

"Excellent!" The city lord clapped his hands, looking at Bai Suning with admiration in his eyes. "Miss Bai is not only highly skilled in cultivation and medical skills, but she is also very generous when drinking. There are only a handful of girls like her in the entire continent."

"The city lord is joking." Bai Suning smiled awkwardly.

"Another one!"

"No, thanks." Bai Suning quickly refused.

Seeing her uneasy expression, the Third Elder and the others stood up and suggested, "City Lord, we still need to hurry back to the academy after dinner. Bai Suning should drink tea instead of wine."

"This..." The city lord thought for a while and agreed, "Let's do as the Third Elder said."

Bai Suning breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone ate their meal quietly. Halfway through, the city lord suddenly looked at Bai Suning and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked Miss Bai how she helped them return to normal."

Bai Suning paused while eating.

The third elder and others were also a little curious about this matter.

They never thought that the problem could be solved in such a short time.

"Just use the method taught by the elders in the academy, and add a little bit of your own ideas to solve it." Bai Suning had an idea flash in his mind, and said something that was impeccable.

The third elder had a faint smile on his lips.

I know this little girl doesn't want others to know what method she used.

"Oh?" The city lord was slightly surprised. He glanced in the direction of the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, and the others, and asked doubtfully, "Could you please reveal a little? If something like this happens again, we can handle it ourselves without bothering you."

"I'm afraid that's not possible." Bai Suning looked hesitant, looking towards the Third Elder before slowly saying, "The courses taught in the academy can only be taught within the academy. Students cannot teach outside the academy after leaving."

"Third Elder, your academy is so strict." The city lord's words were both a question and a test.

The Third Elder knew that Bai Suning didn't want others to know, so he followed her words and gave City Lord Bai a more comprehensive answer: "It's not strict, it's because he is afraid that students will teach outside indiscriminately, which may cause some accidents to the students."

"Is that so?" The city lord nodded and did not ask any further questions.

I thought this peaceful atmosphere could last until the end.

What was unexpected was that the city lord started asking questions again, as if he couldn't eat without talking.

"Miss Bai." The city lord suddenly spoke.

Bai Suning paused, then looked over and said, "Hmm?"

"Your name is Bai Suning, right?"

"right."

"I vaguely remember that there was also a person named Bai Suning in Yuxiao City of our Qing Nation." The City Lord suddenly pretended to recall, a serious look between his brows. "That Bai Suning was evil and arrogant, and he was nothing like you."

Bai Suning: "..."

The Third Elder and others: "..."

The whole audience was embarrassed.

The husky laughed unkindly in the space: "Hahahahahaha! I'm dying of laughter. Isn't the city lord afraid that you are the Bai Suning?"

If his identity were to be exposed, he would be socially disastrous.

"Have you heard of her?" the city lord asked again.

Bai Suning didn't want to be embarrassed, nor did she want to say it was okay when the city lord apologized.

She is well connected!

Due to these reasons, I can only say dryly: "No."

"That's good." The city lord continued, his face heavy. "I heard that the reason why the people of Wei City turned into monsters... the zombie you mentioned was created by the Bai City Lord of Yuxiao City."
