"Why do you say that, Lord?"
Before she could finish her question, a voice from inside interrupted and said, "It's late at night, you should go back."
And then there was no movement.
Lin Wu called out to the city lord, but heard no response.
She couldn't help but step closer to the curtain and raise her hand.
As long as she wanted, she would start to lift up the obstacles in front of her to see what was going on inside.
The surroundings were quiet, the air became heavier, and Lin Wu clenched his fingertips unconsciously.
In the end, Lin Wu suppressed the impulse and said, "Okay, I will go back to my place tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Lin Wu turned around and left the huge room.
The moment she went out, the black gold door suddenly closed behind her. The loud thud was particularly obvious in the night, enough to make one's heart skip a beat.
Lin Wu didn't look back and put his hand on his shoulder.
The tattoo is fading.
Lin Wu couldn't be sure whether it was because it was very dangerous inside and she almost came into close contact with death, or because...
Lin Wu took a deep breath, walked away, and returned to his residence to sleep.
…
The next day.
Lin Wu was awakened by a knock on the door.
Ren Ke seemed to have learned her lesson this time. She didn't just barge in, but knocked on the door to remind Lin Wu. But the knock was also quite impatient, and her patience soon ran out. She pushed the door open without waiting for Lin Wu's response.
Lin Wu was still very sleepy, so he grabbed something from the bedside table and threw it over.
"roll."
"I'm not in the mood to fight you today!"
Ren Ke nimbly avoided him, but did not come in again. He leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, and said, "Give me a definite answer, do you want to eat breakfast here or go back to your Ninth Castle?"
Lin Wu turned over, without even opening his eyes, and said, "Go back."
Ren Ke's eyes flickered: "How did you do it?"
"The city lord is tired of me and doesn't want me to be an eyesore here anymore." Lin Wu was very sleepy and waved his hands impatiently, "Hurry up and leave! Don't disturb my sleep!"
Ren Ke snorted coldly: "I'm still not happy to see you!"
She went out, closing the door behind her.
Turning around again, I saw Ling Xiu and his men coming over at the end of the corridor.
Ren Ke stopped and watched Ling Xiu and others come to her.
"The city lord has ordered." Ling Xiu said calmly, "An Sheng can return to her Nine Castles today. However, she'd better stay there honestly and not try to do what she did a few years ago. Otherwise, Killer City will be troublesome without her, but it's not a problem."
Ren Ke's expression relaxed. "So they let her go because of An Sheng's status. It seems that her time out there these years has not been in vain."
Ling Xiu asked two people to stay and told them to stay with Lin Wu and keep an eye on him.
Then he looked at Ren Ke and said, "If you have her status, you can also make trouble here with the city lord."
Ren Ke was stunned.
Ling Xiu didn't look at her again and turned away.
Ren Ke stood there for a long time, glanced at Lin Wu's door, said nothing, and left.
…
Lin Wu slept until noon before waking up.
After washing up, Lin Wu changed into clean clothes and went out.
There were two people guarding outside. When they saw Lin Wu coming out, they led the way without Lin Wu's instructions.
Lin Wu followed, went downstairs, left the castle, and headed south.
There are several paths in the woods. Lin Wu walked on one of them. In the distance, you can vaguely see the outlines of ancient castles, about seven or eight of them, scattered here and there.
This island is actually very large, the main city is in the middle of the island, the territories of the Eighteen Rakshasas are scattered, and the city lord's territory is far away from other territories.
But after walking for fifteen minutes, Lin Wu suddenly found that the surrounding scenery had suddenly changed and was more desolate than what he had seen before. Looking back, he also found that the castle of the city lord was extremely far away from them, and there was a faint mist, making the outline of the castle very blurry and impossible to see clearly.
Lin Wu turned his gaze back to the two people who led the way and asked directly, "Since when did they start using Qimen Bagua here?"
The person leading the way replied respectfully, "I don't know."
Having said that, their steps were very regular, and they did not look like they were clueless.
Lin Wu was tactful enough not to ask any more questions.
About half an hour later, we finally arrived in front of the ancient castles.
Looking back now, the city lord's castle can no longer be seen.
Ren Ke was waiting at the door. Seeing Lin Wu coming, he sneered, "Don't look. Even if you look again, the city lord won't let you go back. Do you still think it's a good thing to stay with the city lord? Don't look at it, you are still labeled a traitor. It's good enough that the city lord lets you go."
Lin Wu retracted his gaze and retorted: "I defected, so what? I have the ability to escape, so I can live well here. Look, I am now the Nine Rakshasa again."
Ren Ke said coldly: "The city lord did not give any clear orders."
"But I live in Jiubao."
Lin Wu stepped forward, lifted Ren Ke's chin with his finger, raised his eyebrows and said, "So remember to call me Lord An Sheng."
"Dream on!" Ren Ke shook her hand away with a dark face and turned around, "Go back to your bedroom to eat, don't bring anyone else."
Upon hearing this, the two people behind him immediately took a half step forward: "Master An Sheng..."
Lin Wu raised his hand: "Don't follow me if you shouldn't."
She went in.
Ren Ke glanced at the two men and followed them in.
Compared with the quiet castle of the city lord, this place is very lively. There are guards standing guard and patrolling everywhere at the entrance and inside, with at least five or six people on each floor.
There was no one until the fourth floor.
Lin Wu was familiar with the place and found the bedroom easily.
Ren Ke paused and said calmly, "I will be a good person for free and inform your guards and the ghost camp that you are back. However, the city lord still has no orders, so you can't control them for the time being."
Lin Wu said: "I thought you would go in with me."
Ren Ke gritted his teeth: "Are you deliberately trying to annoy me and make me angry?!"
"Yes, you figured it out." Lin Wu admitted frankly.
"...Are you very sorry that you didn't die at the hands of the city lord, so you come to provoke me and help you fulfill your wish?" Ren Ke stared at Lin Wu coldly, then left with a flick of his sleeves.
Lin Wu shook his head, cheered himself up and pushed the door open.
It was still daytime, but it was pitch black inside. The curtains were not drawn and not a single light could get in.
Lin Wu walked in without stopping and closed the door naturally.
But the moment the door closed, a strange breath suddenly appeared a few steps away.
Lin Wu took advantage of the situation and spun around, attacking coldly and mercilessly.
But she was injured at the moment, and her reaction was not as fast as before, and her arm was dissolved in a few moves.
An irresistible force came, and in an instant Lin Wu was pushed against the door. Then, a warm and generous body approached, and a sense of oppression suddenly came.
"Dark voice." The slightly hoarse male voice was particularly dangerous at this moment, "You have caused me so much trouble, tell me, how can I get it back?" (End of this chapter)
