The old city lord said earnestly: "Grandpa didn't mean it, it's just that the situation at that time was not suitable to tell you."
"I also want to use this incident to test the waters and see who has ulterior motives, so I can eliminate those with ill intentions!"
"So the test you mentioned also includes me, right?" Jing Li smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"A-Li, how can you say that to me, your grandfather?" The old city lord frowned. "I'm doing this for your own good. I need to eliminate those who harbor ulterior motives. Only then can Beast King City..."
Jing Li interrupted the old city lord before he could finish.
"Grandpa, just tell me, when I came to see you, did you give me the City Lord's Order on purpose? Since you have guards protecting you, why did you need to entrust the City Lord's Order to me?"
"..." The old city lord was silent for a moment. "Ali, I just want to see who is suitable to be the next city lord! I am the lord of a city, and I need to think twice before doing anything. Grandpa hopes you can forgive me."
Jing Li lowered his eyes.
He could understand it, but he would also feel chilled when his grandfather tested him like this.
"I didn't know that Aqi had murdered you," the old city lord said, "and how could I bear to see you in danger?"
"When they attacked you, I had the guards secretly help you escape. For this reason, don't blame Grandpa."
Jing Li didn't say anything. No wonder he felt that someone was helping him at that time. It turned out that his perception was not wrong.
But Grandpa's test of himself and the guards' help to him are two different things.
"I don't blame you."
Haha, what right does he have to blame grandpa?
The old city lord didn't notice the mockery in Jingli's eyes, and said with relief: "Ali, the facts have proved that you are brave, loyal and righteous, and more decisive than Achuan!"
The Achuan he mentioned is Jingli's cousin, Yinqi's son, Yinchuan.
The old city lord smiled and said, "A-Li, he will be your guard from now on..."
Jing Li frowned, "Grandpa, I've already said that I don't want to be a city lord. You can just train Yinchuan."
He and Yinchuan were both raised by their grandfather himself. Yinchuan is different from Yinqi. Give him some time and he can become a good city lord.
The old city lord shook his head. "I raised both you and me. Yinchuan is too kindhearted and easily soft-hearted. He's not as suitable as you. Besides, he can't handle those old guys in Beast King City."
"Grandpa, my name is no longer Yin Li." Jing Li said coldly, "You can give the position of City Lord to whoever you want."
After his father and mother got into trouble, Jingli told his grandfather that it was not an accident, but Yinqi's doing.
But Grandpa refused to agree to the investigation and even made excuses to shirk responsibility.
What did grandpa say at that time?
——Grandpa has already lost one son and doesn't want to lose another. Ali, your brother is still young. Just think of it as loving your brother and giving your uncle a chance. Grandpa will look after your uncle...
Jingli was extremely disappointed and changed his name.
The old city lord's eyes dimmed. "A-Li, the name is not important. I don't have much time left. I don't have time to train Yinchuan..."
"I'm not poisoned, but it's true that I don't have much time left." The old city lord looked at Jing Li sadly, "When I die, how can I safely hand over this huge Beast King City to Yinchuan?"
"I said I'm not interested, which means I'm not interested." Jing Li took out the city lord's order, handed it directly to his grandfather, turned around and left.
The old city lord's eyes dimmed.
"You say... am I wrong?"
If I had been a little more ruthless back then, perhaps Ali wouldn't have been so disappointed.
The man in black robe didn't understand. He was only responsible for protecting the city lord and getting paid. The rest of the matters had nothing to do with him.
A breeze blew in from the window, and on the forehead of the man in black robe, there was a purple and gold animal pattern.
It was actually a Purple Dan Realm orc.
Many years ago, he made a deal with the city lord, who would be responsible for protecting his safety in secret, and the city lord would provide any resources he needed.
The city lord sighed and didn't care whether the man in black robe answered him or not.
When Jingli walked out, he saw Xiong Ke standing at the door.
"I want to see Mary." Xiong Ke said coldly.
The Meili that Xiong Ke mentioned is the female lord of Ginzaki who has been the wife of the city lord for a while.
"Okay." Jing Li nodded and took Xiong Ke to another place.
Xiong Ke helped him a lot, and Xiong Ke also had only one condition, that Meili should pay the price she deserved...
Since he had promised Xiong Ke, he would naturally do it.
At this time, Mary was also imprisoned.
Like Ginzaki, they kept cursing.
Ginzaki was mainly scolding the old city lord, while Meili was scolding Ginzaki.
"Useless piece of shit! My Xiong family has given you so much help, yet you can't even hold on to your position as city lord!"
"Why did I choose a loser like you?"
Meili was like a mad woman, staring at the beastmen guarding outside. "I'm a female! How can you lock me up? What does what that loser Yin Qi did have to do with me? Let me go! Otherwise, my brother will not let you go!"
The orcs outside were specially arranged, and no matter how Mary cursed, they remained indifferent.
Mary was furious.
She is the most noble female in Beast King City. When has she ever been treated so coldly?
Suddenly, she saw Jingli and Xiong Ke.
His eyes lit up instantly.
"Jingli! Xiongke! Hurry! You are here to take me out, right?"
Jingli ignored Meili and asked the guarding orcs to leave.
"I'll go out first. If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. Be careful."
Xiong Ke's eyes flashed with hatred, "I know."
He doesn't care about his own life, but he still has the female master to take care of him.
If not, he would definitely die with Mary!
"Brother..." Meili softened her voice, "Did the Xiong family ask you to come and rescue me?"
Xiong Ke sneered, "Who is your brother? I have severed ties with the Xiong family long ago!"
"And." Xiong Ke looked at her sarcastically, "You're locked up here, so you probably don't know that the people from the Xiong family who should be arrested have already been arrested!"
After this incident, the old city lord finally made up his mind to reorganize Beast King City, and the Xiong family was the first family to suffer.
Anyone found doing evil will be punished.
The rest of the Bear family had also been driven out of the Beast King City.
When Meili heard that the Xiong family had gone bankrupt, she looked incredulous.
"No, how is that possible! You must be lying to me!"
"Lie to you?" He laughed sarcastically, "Do I need to lie to you?"
"Don't worry, you won't get any better in the future. From now on, you will be locked up with Yin Qi until you die!" The hideous scars on Xiong Ke's face moved as he laughed. "Your retribution has come."
"Don't worry, I won't take your life, but I will definitely have the people guarding you take extra care of you!"
