"yes."
After giving the instructions for the trivial matters, Wen Zizhen showed a look of relief on his face, and began to enjoy the food wholeheartedly.
…
Yuan Jing has been practicing for more than sixty years and has always lived under the protection of her father.
Today was the first time she had come to protect her father. Although the future was uncertain, she was still happy.
However, when she returned home and heard the news that Xiang Sheng had been taken away to the City Lord's Mansion, that little bit of happiness disappeared in an instant.
She ran to Lingshan's residence in a panic and pushed the door open and rushed in.
Ling Shan was applying medicine to himself when he suddenly saw the eldest lady rushing in. He immediately put on his clothes in a hurry.
"Uncle Ling, are you injured?"
Yuan Jing's expression turned grim: "Sister Li was really captured by Wen Zizhen's men?"
Ling Shan was ashamed when he heard this. "It was Wen Shuichang. I am no match for him. Fellow Daoist Li was afraid that he would beat me to death, so he voluntarily went with him."
Yuan Jing's face instantly lost all color, and she sat down helplessly: "How could this be..."
At this moment, she finally understood why Wen Zizheng agreed so readily.
"I was the one who harmed Sister Li."
Yuan Jing muttered to herself, tears welling up in her eyes. If she hadn't insisted on leaving her sister to come visit...
At the same time, Yuan Zhiping, who was standing at the door of Lingshan's room and heard the news, was also shocked.
Is this the arrangement that Fellow Daoist Li mentioned?
How could she have guessed that Wen Zi would really use her as Yuan Jing's weakness?
In this case, Wen Zizhen was the one who took the initiative in the whole thing. Who would suspect that Fellow Daoist Li was the one controlling everything behind the scenes?
This method... is too clever!
He was so smart that he was not sure whether the current situation was a plan by fellow Daoist Li or a coincidence.
At this moment, although Yuan Zhiping knew that "Daoyou Li" was inferior to him in cultivation, he still felt a little awe in his heart.
This calculation is so profound that Wen Zizhen probably hasn't noticed it at all until now.
He couldn't help but think, if he were the one being targeted like this...
Yuan Zhiping couldn't help but shudder, and then thought of the instructions given by "Daoyou Li" before he left. He immediately restrained his thoughts and didn't dare to reveal anything to his daughter.
Three days passed in a flash.
On the third day, the City Lord's Mansion indeed sent people to deliver a large number of Fangcun Yeji tokens.
The token of trust was 343 paper boats, corresponding to the 343 members of the Yuan family excluding Yuan Jing.
When Yuan Zhiping saw the paper boat token, he felt relieved.
He had seen this kind of paper boat before. It was a token of loyalty from a powerful wandering cultivator.
This powerful man is a decent person who does not like to kill. The transactions within Yeji are also famously fair.
If you borrow the road from this powerful Ye Ji, the possibility of encountering an accident will be much less.
It seems that Wen Zizhen now has Fellow Daoist Li in his hands and really doesn't care whether they stay or go.
I wonder what expression Wen Zizheng had on his face after Fellow Daoist Dengli took Jing'er away?
Yuan Zhiping thought of this and smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface he looked serious. He bowed to the Yeji manager in front of him and said:
"Excuse me, Senior, we would like to borrow your passage to reach the Wanmai Sword Sect's territory, Sword City!"
When the manager of Ye Ji heard the location, he was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was reasonable.
He nodded and said, "Jiancheng is under the jurisdiction of the Wanmai Sword Sect, and no one is allowed to approach it.
I will take you a hundred miles outside the city, and you will have to walk the rest of the way on your own."
Yuan Zhiping quickly clasped his fists again and said, "Thank you, Senior."
Manager Ye Ji said no more and waved his sleeve to open a vortex portal.
At Yuan Zhiping's command, everyone in the Yuan family did not dare to hesitate and entered the gate and disappeared.
Going to Jiancheng was naturally Fellow Daoist Li’s suggestion.
She said that the territory of the Wanmai Sword Sect was not as chaotic as that of the Wuji Immortal Sect.
Jiancheng is directly governed by the Wanmai Sword Sect, which is even more fair.
If it were in the past, when Jiancheng was full, the Yuan family would certainly not be qualified to reside in the city permanently.
However, Jiancheng has been in chaos in recent years, and many people have died in the city. Although peace has been restored now, it has not yet emerged from the shadow of the chaos.
Right now Jiancheng is short of manpower, and the Wanmai Sword Sect will definitely accept them.
Although they had to start from scratch when their family moved there, their life was much better than in Xitian City.
"Sword City..."
Yuan Zhiping watched his family members enter Fangcunji, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Fellow Daoist Li knows everything about Jiancheng in recent years. Could it be that he is from Jiancheng?
Or maybe, she is not actually a casual cultivator, but a disciple of the Wanmai Sword Sect?
Yuan Zhiping's thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he realized what he was thinking, and the corner of his eye twitched.
No matter how powerful Fellow Daoist Li's scheming is, given his true essence cultivation, I'm afraid he can't even reach the threshold of the Wanmai Sword Sect.
How could he come up with such a ridiculous idea?
He shook his head, clearing his mind of distracting thoughts, but he had made up his mind. Once the Yuan family had established a firm foothold in Jiancheng, he would definitely send more people to investigate the city.
"It would be great if we could find out some of Fellow Daoist Li's past deeds."
