After sending Xiang Sheng to the guest house, Yuan Zhiping did not stay for long and left soon.
Of course he didn't really have nothing to do.
Now that the Sky Realm Stone has been found, the order he had previously issued to evacuate Xitian City needs to be rescinded without leaving any trace, so as to prevent the city lord from misunderstanding that his Yuan family is planning to escape with the treasure.
The Yuan Family Guesthouse is a two-story courtyard. In terms of layout, it is certainly not as luxurious as the Xianchen Inn, but it is also leisurely and quiet, with all the necessary facilities.
Xiang Sheng took a quick look around and was about to turn around and step into the meditation room when he suddenly sensed a familiar breath approaching quickly.
She smiled, walked out of the eaves, and looked up to see Yuan Jing falling from the air with a happy look on her face.
"That's great, Sister Li, you're really okay!"
As soon as Yuan Jing landed, she stepped forward and tightly grasped Xiang Sheng's hand, her expression excited.
“I heard your news right after I finished my training, you don’t know how happy I am!
Daddy said you brought back the Sky Realm Stone. I really don't know how to thank you for such a kindness."
Xiang Sheng smiled faintly, "Don't be too busy thanking me, I'm going to stay in your house for the next day or so."
"What's that? You can stay here, sister."
Yuan Jing walked in arm in arm with Xiang Sheng, "Sister Li, you don't know how important this Sky Realm Stone is to my family.
If it were just an ordinary transaction, it would be fine, but this is a task specifically assigned to me by City Lord Wen. If something goes wrong, my whole family will suffer."
"City Master Wen?"
A strange look flashed in Xiang Sheng's eyes, "Which city lord is it?"
"Who else could it be? It's the Lord of our Xitian City."
Yuan Jing replied as a matter of course, then sighed, "In Xitian City, the city lord is everything. Our Yuan family has taken root here, so naturally we have to obey.
If it were any other city lord, how could my father accept such a dangerous mission? "
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly. "You just said the city lord's last name is Wen? Which Wen?"
"It means both civil and military."
Xiang Sheng's eyes flickered, and he continued to ask, "What is the relationship between the Wen family in that city and the City Lord Wen?"
"Sister Li, do you still know the Wen family?"
Yuan Jing looked surprised, then replied, "The name of the Wen City Lord is Wen Zizhen, so the Wen family and Wen Zizhen are indeed the same family, but they are not from the same lineage.
To be precise, Wen Zizhen was originally a illegitimate son of the Wen family, while the Wen family in the city was the direct line of the family.
However, when Wen Zizhen took the position of city lord, the relationship between the two sides naturally reversed. Now, the entire Wen family only follows Wen Zizhen's lead."
Speaking of this, Yuan Jing said solemnly, "The Wen family has the city lord as their backer, so they act very arrogantly.
Sister, if you walk around this city and see the words "Wen Family", it's best to avoid them to avoid getting into trouble."
"Okay, I'll make a note of that."
Seeing Xiang Sheng's agreement, Yuan Jing smiled again and continued to talk about interesting things in the city.
Xiang Sheng listened with a smile, but had other thoughts in his mind.
She learned from the memory of Taoist Huangquan that it was the Wen family that had made a deal with the Taoist.
The Wen family relies on the city lord for their livelihood, so there is absolutely no way they would destroy their own jobs.
In other words, the one who allowed Taoist Huang Quan to rob the Sky Realm Stone and controlled everything behind the scenes was none other than the City Lord Wen who gave the order to the Yuan family, Wen Zizhen?
Although she had only been in contact with the Yuan family for a short time, she found that this family was honest and decent, and not the kind of people who would steal or play tricks.
Lord Wen could have obtained the Sky Realm Stone safely by just waiting at home, so why did he send people to rob it?
She raised her eyes to glance at Yuan Jing, who was still chattering away, talking about interesting things in the city, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
This city lord is really interesting.
…
It was night in the study of the City Lord's Mansion.
A middle-aged monk in a purple robe was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, half of his face hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.
Not long after, a servant came to report, "Master, the disciples of Piaoxue Palace have all returned to the guest house."
The middle-aged monk in purple robe waved his sleeves, and the servants immediately bowed and retreated.
Not long after, a black-robed monk flashed into the room from outside and knelt on one knee.
The middle-aged monk in purple robe just turned around, revealing an overly cold and thin face.
This person is none other than the city lord Wen Zizheng.
When the black-robed monk saw Wen Zizhen turn around, he quickly lowered his head and said respectfully, "Master, the Yuan family has been peaceful recently, and there is nothing unusual.
However, shortly after the Yuan family's spiritual boat arrived, the instructor of the Yuan family's eldest daughter quickly left with a group of people and disappeared.
Also, today, a female cultivator came to my house to make friends. I heard that she was a good friend that the eldest daughter of the Yuan family met on the road, and she came to stay for a while."
Wen Zizhen listened expressionlessly and sneered, "Do you think this information is useful?"
The black-robed monk shuddered and lowered his head even lower. "Master, spare my life!"
"roll!"
The black-robed monks left in a hurry as if they had been pardoned.
The room fell silent again.
Wen Zizheng waved his sleeves and sat down, the irritation between his brows three times more intense than the night.
What exactly went wrong?
Yuan Zhiping's cultivation level is on par with that of Taoist Huang Quan, both are in the late Nascent Soul stage.
In order to help Taoist Huang Quan succeed, he deliberately left Yuan Zhiping in the city and let his daughter lead the team to obtain the Sky Realm Stone.
When Yuan Jing's team set out, he watched from afar. The one with the highest cultivation level was the one named Ling Shan, but he was only in the late Jindan stage. How could he possibly stop the Taoist Huang Quan?
He designed this plan perfectly and it should have been foolproof.
Why is it that Yuan Jing has returned home safely, but Taoist Huang Quan has disappeared with no news?
Who can kill the Taoist Huang Quan?
