Chapter 178 Tit for tat
The two people who came out and talked nonsense were both children of the mayor of Minhui City. The boy was Wu Renyao, the second son of Minhui City, and the girl was Wu Ren'ao, the third daughter of Minhui City.
The Wu family members are of average character, but they are pretty nice to their family members.
This time, their younger brother Wu Renyi was crippled in the secret realm, and after returning he couldn't even get justice. When Min returned to the city, he was targeted by Yuxing City and almost completely fell out of the position of the eight main cities.
But the culprit Yu Xingcheng acted like a victim. Not only did he not receive any punishment, but instead the Wu family was scolded.
Even though the Wu family still firmly holds the position of city lord, their family members are well aware that many forces in the city are already ready to make a move and try to bring them down.
As the culprit of all this, how could the Wu family not hate Princess Luo?
They originally thought that due to City Lord Luo's protection of his only daughter, they might not be able to see Princess Luo at this birthday party, but they didn't expect her to show up.
After finally meeting Princess Luo, the two members of the Wu family naturally wanted to find an opportunity to criticize her.
They were afraid of City Lord Luo's power and didn't dare to take action against Princess Luo. Couldn't they just vent their anger?
As a result, just when they had just said a few words, Princess Luo, who was not good at speaking, was about to stand up and argue with them, but unexpectedly someone else interrupted.
Wu Renyao frowned, staring at the female cultivator who suddenly appeared, and said coldly: "Who do you think you are? I am talking to your master, what qualifications do you have to interrupt?"
Wu Renyao had never seen Xie Liuyin before, but seeing that she came out of Princess Luo's carriage, he guessed that she was probably Princess Luo's subordinate, the person responsible for taking care of her.
Since he is not a powerful person, Wu Renyao is naturally more impolite when speaking.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that our young city lord has a noble status. You are just the offspring of a city lord of a declining small city. You are not qualified to talk to the future city lord of our Yuxing City."
"Our young city lord does not accept useless people to cling to us. If you want to make friends with us, please become the young city lord first."
After saying that, Xie Liuyin and Yunxuan pushed the two people away without any courtesy, and then said to Princess Luo respectfully: "Young City Lord, you can go in and rest."
Princess Luo tried her best to hold back her laughter and acted serious and proper. Without even looking at the Wu siblings, she followed Xie Liuyin and the others into the Qinglong Garden.
Perhaps it is because there was a story about a real dragon falling in Zhuilong City, which is firmly believed by the locals.
Therefore, the names of the major courtyards in the City Lord's Mansion all contain the word "dragon". Princess Luo and her family lived in the Qinglong Garden, and Min Hui was arranged to live in the Black Dragon Garden.
Later, Xie Liuyin made some special inquiries and found out that Chang Yu and the others lived in Chilong Garden, which was not far from Qinglong Garden.
Each yard is very large, enough to accommodate at least dozens of people.
There is a rockery and pond in the yard, as well as a carefully tended garden with many magical herbs planted in it.
The courtyard where guests are received is so exquisite, which shows how magnificent this city lord's mansion is.
Xie Liuyin had previously thought that the City Lord's Mansion in Yuxing City was the most exquisite and luxurious she had ever seen, but now after seeing it, she realized that City Lord Luo's residence was already considered simple.
The people of Yuxing City were quickly settled, and then Princess Luo sent a visiting card to Long Xinghai, the lord of Zhuilong City, as usual.
It's not that she wants to see the other person before the birthday party, she is just following the rules.
Not long after the visiting card was delivered, Long Xinghai also sent someone to deliver a message, which was nothing more than some polite words, saying that he was old and weak and did not have the energy to meet with Princess Luo alone, so they should wait until the day of the birthday banquet to get together.
Princess Luo was prepared for this and dealt with the person gently and sent him away.
After completing these polite exchanges, Princess Luo's mission to come to the Dragon Falling City was half completed.
She breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and took Xie Liuyin, Yunxuan and the others for a stroll in the city.
The Falling Dragon City is quite different from Quege City and Yuxing City. If Quege City is decadent and luxurious, and Yuxing City is prosperous and prosperous, then the Falling Dragon City has an inexplicable ruggedness.
Like in other big cities, most people coming in and out were magic cultivators, but in Zhuilong City, they saw more body cultivators and sword cultivators.
Xie Liuyin couldn't explain the reason clearly, she was dragged by Princess Luo to go to the market.
The market in Zhuilong City is doing very well, and the City Lord's Mansion has specially allocated a large area for people in the city to set up stalls.
There are no restrictions at the market, and basically everything is sold.
Xie Liuyin even saw a few people placing a few stones on their stalls. Out of curiosity, she asked about the origins and special features of these stones.
Unexpectedly, the stall owner shook his head at her very frankly and said, "No, I just picked up some stones and sold them because they looked nice. Daoist friend, do you want them? They are very cheap. You can pick five for one Spirit Stone."
How is this cheap?!
Selling me an ordinary stone for one Lingshi, how is this different from robbing me? !
"Then give me five." But in the end, Xie Liuyin still handed over a spirit stone.
If nothing else, these stones are really beautiful.
The stall owner had probably seen many people like Xie Liuyin joining in the fun, so after taking a spirit stone from her, he let her pick whatever she wanted on the stall.
Xie Liuyin looked around and selected a few beautiful stones according to his own preferences. But when he thought about how many people he knew, he was afraid that these five stones would not be enough to share.
She had no choice but to take out another spiritual stone and handed it to the stall owner, asking, "Where did you pick up these stones?"
The stones are indeed beautiful, with bright colors and various shapes, comparable to gems.
The stall owner seemed to have been asked too many questions, so he didn't hide anything and said directly: "I picked them up from Longshou Mountain, where there are many such stones. I picked the best-looking ones and brought them down to sell for good luck."
Longshou Mountain is located in the mountains that surround Zhuilong City. It is located at the head of a dragon and its shape resembles a dragon's head.
When the rumor that a real dragon had fallen in Zhuilong City was at its hottest, many cultivators went there specifically to seek opportunities on Longshou Mountain.
But the thousands of people who went up found nothing no matter how hard they searched, and finally had to leave in disgrace.
These beautiful colorful stones were discovered by the stall owner when he was joining in the fun.
Xie Liuyin listened to the stall owner gossiping and picked up a few stones that he liked from the stall.
After collecting ten, he got up and left to find Princess Luo.
She is now wandering around the clothing store with Yunxuan. By the time Xie Liuyin comes over, the dresses that the two of them like will probably fill up half of their storage ring.
However, as Xie Liuyin approached the clothing store, she could hear Princess Luo's aggrieved voice from afar: "I was the first to see this dress."
"So what if you took a fancy to it first? Once I get it, it's mine. So, is the young city lord of Yuxing City planning to use his power to overpower others now?"
The voice sounded very familiar, and Xie Liuyin knew it was the young lady of the Wu family as soon as she heard it.
