Jin Yong'an said, "We, Jinluo City, are under the command of the Seventh Holy Temple and serve the temple. To put it bluntly, Jinluo City belongs to someone else."
“The Temple will not interfere in the internal affairs of our Jinluo City. Even if the city lord changes, they will not care. As long as you continue to follow their orders after the change of lord, so what are you worried about?” Jin Wenhong said.
“My elder brother has no heir… I’m worried that in a few decades, Jinluo City will fall into whose hands.” Jin Yong’an said in a deep voice, “If the chosen person is not suitable, the Holy Temple will directly interfere in our affairs.”
Kim Yong-an's words made Kim Moon-hong fall into deep thought. Yes, Kim Lok-sung's current position seemed unshakeable.
But in fact, there are already many hidden dangers.
Currently, the three city lords of the Jin family are in charge of Jinluo City, but what about in the next thirty or fifty years?
The temple has provided a lot of support to Jinluo City over the years, but the temple's ideology is incompatible with that of the Seventh Temple, which has made the person in charge of the Seventh Temple very dissatisfied.
"Let's try to persuade our elder brother after Ye Xingchen's matter is settled," Jin Wenhong said calmly.
Jin Yong'an nodded and continued looking in the direction of Wuyin Mountain.
As far as the eye can see, a section of the Giant Spirit Peak, which is over a hundred meters high, has been cut off.
Although he was too far away to see the figure on Giant Spirit Peak clearly, he felt that there was always a gaze watching him from beneath that broken peak.
To the left of Giant Spirit Peak, there is a ten-mile-long plank road.
At the end of the plank road, there is a path leading to Giant Spirit Peak. This place is usually guarded by the Red Sleeve Army.
But today, several Red Sleeve Army soldiers guarding the plank road have fallen to the ground in disarray.
Inside a pavilion at the end of the plank road, Si Qianyu sat, seemingly waiting for someone.
She was dressed in plain clothes, turned to the side, revealing only half of her stunningly beautiful face.
Finally, at the end of the plank road, a group of people walked over.
These people are ruthless bandits in Jinluo City, and their strength is relatively weak.
They formed a chaotic group, led by a bald man who carried a huge machete.
He had a very long scar on his face, making him look extremely fierce.
If a seasoned police officer were here, he would recognize at a glance that the leader of this group was the former leader of the Twelve Bandits.
This guy led a gang that traveled to various places to commit crimes, robbing four gold shops and two banks in half a month, with the amount involved exceeding 100 million yuan.
Moreover, the twelve bandits were ruthless, killing people during robberies and running over ordinary people without mercy when fleeing in their cars.
Later, police from several locations joined forces to investigate the case, killing eight of the twelve bandits on the spot, capturing two who were wounded, arresting one, and leaving only the bandit leader to escape.
Who would have thought that this guy had been entrenched in Jinluo City for the past few years, and had even quickly built up a small gang that would occasionally cause trouble in the surrounding small countries?
"Brother, what is Ye Xingchen's background? How could the city lord of Jinluo City issue such a bounty?" someone asked.
"Yes, bestowing upon him the surname Jin and making him the fourth city lord, this time he's really going all out."
"Haha, no matter who he is, we brothers were the first to get here. As long as we kill that brat surnamed Ye, I will become the city lord. Once I become the city lord, I will naturally not mistreat my brothers." The bald man laughed heartily.
His eyes gleamed with a fierce light; he was very confident that his men could keep Ye Xingchen here.
"But... could that kid be really powerful?" someone asked cautiously. "After all, he's someone that even the city lords of Jinluo City can't handle."
"Screw it, I don't believe that kid has three heads and six arms." The bald man pulled out a shotgun and cocked it with a click.
"Maybe that kid is tough, but I don't believe he's tougher than the gun in my hand."
Suddenly, he stopped abruptly and looked into the pavilion ahead.
A woman sat in the pavilion, dressed in plain clothes. Although only half of her face was visible, that half face was already stunningly beautiful.
"Hey, bro, there's someone here, and it's a woman?" someone said.
"Could he be Ye Xingchen?"
"How is that possible? Ye Xingchen is a man. Look, his photos have been released."
"Hey, beautiful, are you here for Ye Xingchen too?" The bald man stopped and looked at Si Qianyu in front of him.
"I suppose so," Si Qianyu said calmly.
"Hehe, although there's always a first-come, first-served rule, we brothers are never reasonable." The bald man grinned. "Ye Xingchen is ours, and nobody can take him from us."
“Or…” The bald man stroked his chin, looking at the unbelievably beautiful woman in front of him, and revealed a malicious smile: “You can also join us, and maybe you’ll become the city lord’s wife in the future.”
"Haha..." The group burst into laughter.
Si Qianyu slowly turned around, revealing her stunning beauty to everyone without reservation.
She smiled slightly and uttered two words: "Is that so?"
"Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous! Even the women at the Red Sleeve Club in Jinluo City aren't this beautiful." The bald man seemed to have lost his soul for a moment.
Indeed, Si Qianyu is very beautiful. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a great temperament, although her temperament is a cold and aloof one.
"Yes, make way." The bald man composed himself. Although he was a lecher, he remembered that he had important business to attend to. He could come back and entangle with this beautiful woman after he finished his business.
"Sorry, this road is blocked." Si Qianyu slowly shook her head.
"What do you mean by 'this road is blocked'?" The bald man was taken aback.
"Boss, this is blocking our way." One of the henchmen reacted quickly: "This woman is trying to take our man away from us."
"Rob someone?" The bald man sneered, slamming his broadsword down on the ground with a crack, sparks flying from the granite beneath.
"You think you can take him from me? Let me tell you, Ye Xingchen is mine, and nobody can take him away."
“His sexual orientation is normal, it’s inappropriate for you to say that.” Si Qianyu laughed: “Besides, he’s not mine, I’m his, his woman.”
"So, you're that kid's woman after all." The bald man laughed. "You've got guts. This kid brought his woman along to challenge Jin Luocheng, and she's quite capable too. Not bad."
"Of course, if you're afraid of dying, you shouldn't be his woman." Si Qianyu smiled slightly: "I have no intention of hurting anyone now, so you should leave. Otherwise, once I make a move, you won't have a chance."
"Boss, look at the two knives hanging from her waist, she's a master." A henchman cautiously stepped forward to remind her.
"Huh, it really is, two knives." Only then did the bald, burly man notice the two knives, one long and one short, at Si Qianyu's waist.
