That old Taoist Huang Quan and the city lord made several moves, but it was really Daoist Fellow Li who secretly resolved them?
Yuan Zhiping's mind was a little confused for a moment, and a hint of joy emerged in his heart.
Being able to deal with Taoist Huang Quan without being at a disadvantage, fellow Taoist Li's strength is not inferior to his. It couldn't be better to have her protect Jing'er.
"Master Yuan, please bring Yuan Jing along with you to the negotiations tomorrow."
Xiang Sheng returned to the main topic.
Yuan Zhiping was stunned when he heard this, and then asked in confusion: "Wouldn't it be more dangerous to let Jing'er come forward at this time?"
"I know the master loves his daughter dearly."
Xiang Sheng looked across the courtyard and glanced at Yuan Jing, who was locked in the quiet room in the backyard with a worried look on her face. Then he turned around and smiled slightly:
"Wen Zi really won't feel at ease if Yuan Jing doesn't show up.
Moreover, if I want to accompany Yuan Jing to the tomb of the Tianlong Emperor without arousing Wen Zizhen's suspicion, I will also need Yuan Jing's help."
The more Yuan Zhiping listened, the more confused he became, "Fellow Daoist Li, I understand what you said.
But you are a living being, and your cultivation level is not as high as Wen Zizhen. It is impossible for you to avoid the detection of divine sense. How can Jing'er help?"
"The head of the family doesn't need to worry about this."
Xiang Sheng smiled mysteriously, "Master, you only need to take Yuan Jing to the Xianchen Restaurant tomorrow. I will make all the arrangements for the rest.
Before that, don't tell Yuan Jing that I'm going to the Tianlong Emperor's Tomb with her, or it will interfere with tomorrow's plans."
"Okay, I'll make a note of that."
Yuan Zhiping nodded readily. Since he chose to believe Xiang Sheng, he would not hesitate any longer.
…
The conversation between the two came to an end.
Xiang Sheng had nothing to do, so he went back to the guest house to continue tempering his body.
Yuan Zhiping immediately ran to see his daughter.
When Yuan Jing was released, she started complaining to her father.
"I'm not a coward. How could you lock me up, Dad? Do you know how worried I am?"
"Haha, of course I know, Jing'er is the best girl in the world."
Yuan Zhiping laughed heartily, "I restricted your actions because I was afraid you would be impulsive when you were young."
Seeing that her father's face was no longer gloomy, Yuan Jing's expression also relaxed slightly: "Dad, you look good, but has the situation taken a turn for the better?"
Yuan Zhiping wanted to say, "It's all thanks to Fellow Daoist Li," but remembering Xiang Sheng's instructions, he immediately changed his words.
“Wen Shuichang has just left. Tomorrow you and I will go to the Xianchen Restaurant to negotiate with Wen Zizhen.
No matter what the outcome, you and I, father and daughter, will face it together!"
Yuan Jing immediately nodded seriously.
…
That night, Xiang Sheng came to the City Lord's Mansion again.
Wen Zizhen was in his study, discussing tomorrow's affairs with his trusted aides.
Xiang Sheng stood in mid-air outside the window, looking at the aide, and touched his forehead with his hand.
A wisp of consciousness immediately floated out from between his eyebrows, and wrapped in the power of deceiving the heavens, it flew silently into the study and sank into the sea of consciousness of his staff.
The staff member's cultivation level had just reached the early stage of the Core Formation Stage, and his spirit and soul were weak. How could he be a match for the Consciousness? He was annihilated in an instant.
Wen Zizhen, who was sitting opposite him, had no idea that his staff member had been possessed by another person right under his nose.
He snorted coldly, "Did Yuan Zhiping stumble upon this by accident, or did he hear the rumor from somewhere? Have you really found out the truth?"
Xiang Sheng had just finished absorbing the memories of his staff. Upon hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Sir, why bother worrying about this matter? Tomorrow's negotiations are the most important thing."
"You are good at exonerating yourself."
Wen Zizhen sneered, "Then you can just say that we will negotiate tomorrow. If you don't explain clearly, you know what the consequences will be."
The "staff member" shuddered and spoke quickly: "Sir, if we want to use that magical power to find something, we can only let Yuan Jing do it willingly and cannot force her.
If I were Yuan Jing, I would definitely offer conditions to get you to let the Yuan family leave Xitian City."
"Oh, she's dreaming!"
A cold light flashed in Wen Zizhen's eyes, "It's just a Jindan. I have plenty of ways to control it."
"Although your secret soul-stealing technique is powerful, I have read a few words about it in a miscellaneous book. People like Yuan Jing, whose bloodline has returned to their ancestral home, are naturally powerful and may not be so easy to control."
The "staff member" added, and Wen Zizhen's face immediately darkened. "Is there such a thing?"
The "staff" said embarrassedly: "I just heard it from others, but the matter is of great importance. It is better for you to believe it rather than not believe it."
After hearing this, Wen Zizhen finally looked his staff in the eye and said, "From what you said, is there any other way?"
The "staff member" smiled flatteringly and said, "Sir, I think you can let the Yuan family leave.
Yuan Jing is a young and impulsive woman who values friendship very much and is most reluctant to implicate innocent people.
I heard that there is a female cultivator living in the Yuan family mansion, and she is a close friend that Yuan Jing made on the road.
When Wen Zizhen heard this, he immediately understood what was going on and a rare smile appeared on his face:
"Well said, there's a reward!"
