As soon as the cold shout ended, Ling Ying, dressed in a fiery red, hurriedly stepped over the threshold, followed by the panting Sijiu.
Ling Ying glanced at Xiang Sheng, who was sitting on the bed in good health. His face was not as pale as before. She felt relieved, but her tone became even colder:
"Why, the two Ji Daoists can't even speak when they see me?"
The purple-robed celestial being turned her back to Ling Ying, her eyes showing displeasure. Turning around, a smile appeared on her face: "When did Chief Ling become a member of Tingfeng Tower?"
"Heh... So the two of you are being so presumptuous because the host is not here."
Ling Ying chuckled lightly: "Unfortunately, before leaving, the owner of the building had issued an order for me to temporarily take over the position of building owner. Did you two hear that?"
"I see."
The purple-robed celestial being subdued his arrogant demeanor and chuckled softly, "We were investigating a case, and out of impatience, we wanted to barge in and question you. I hope Officer Ling won't blame us."
"You two are of noble birth. How dare I, a mere sergeant, blame you?"
Ling Ying said this indifferently before returning to business: "This girl has been unconscious since the flower viewing banquet and knows nothing about anything. If you two want to know anything, just come and ask me directly."
After saying that, Ling Ying made a "please" gesture.
The purple-robed celestial being was unhappy, but because everyone was watching, she couldn't show it, so she flicked her sleeves and followed.
Seeing this, the other celestial being breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.
The two groups came and went quickly.
In less than a blink of an eye, Sijiu was the only one left at the door.
Sijiu watched Ling Ying and her men walk away, then carefully closed the door and quickly came to Xiang Sheng's window, saying with a look of concern:
“Sister Shen, how are you?”
"It's all right."
Xiang Sheng shook his head and smiled softly: "Thank you for bringing reinforcements in time."
Sijiu blushed when she heard this and whispered, "This is what a villain should do."
Xiang Sheng reached out and gently stroked Sijiu's head without saying anything else.
Sijiu's little face suddenly turned even redder.
Not long after, Ling Ying came back with a lot of anger, sat down and slammed the table.
With a loud "bang", the table turned into powder.
Sijiu took two steps back in fright.
Xiang Sheng got off the bed, walked to the table and sat down, his lips moving slightly: "Sister Ling, just now..."
Ling Ying looked up and saw Xiang Sheng's face full of anxiety. She let out a long breath and said slowly:
"It's okay. Although Ji Xingtian acted recklessly, he wouldn't dare to do anything reckless in public. At most, he could gain some advantage through words."
But she is still angry!!
Ling Ying thought of Ji Xingtian's verbal offense during their previous conversation and gritted her teeth.
If it weren't for the name of Ji family, given her temper, she would have torn this scoundrel into pieces long ago!
Xiang Sheng looked at Ling Ying's reaction and guessed what had just happened. A cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Are these two the celestial beings that my sister mentioned, sent by the Ji family to investigate the death of City Lord Ji?"
"good."
Ling Ying's anger subsided a little, and her tone became steady:
"They both came here when you were unconscious and asked all the necessary questions.
I asked Master Wen to look up the origins of these two people. Although they are both immortals from the Ji family, their status is very different.
The man who was acting arrogantly just now was named Ji Xingtian. He was the son of a Golden Immortal elder. In addition, he was talented and had a high status in the Ji family.
This man is extremely fond of women, especially young female fairies. I think he heard about you from somewhere, so he used the lost city lord seal as an excuse to come back."
When Xiang Sheng heard the last part, his heart skipped a beat. "The City Lord's Seal is lost?"
"Yes, the City Lord Seal was refined by the Immortal Palace. Even if a Golden Immortal self-destructs, it will not be destroyed. It is quite valuable. But I couldn't find it at the place where Ji Teng self-destructed."
After Ling Ying finished answering, she felt strange and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
Xiang Sheng's face showed worry. "That Ji Xingtian came with ill intentions. I'm worried...will he pin this on us?"
"He doesn't dare!"
Ling Ying sneered, "A verbal dispute is fine, but if he dares to provoke the Red and Green Army for no reason, then he must be complaining that his current life is too comfortable."
After she finished speaking, she patted Xiang Sheng's shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry too much. The Ji family isn't behind Tingfeng Tower, and they will never go along with it.
Just stay in Tingfeng Tower and don't go out these days. I won't let Ji Xingtian in again.
We will leave in two days, and even if Ji Xingtian turns the world upside down on Zhiyao Star, it will have nothing to do with us."
"Um!"
After comforting Xiang Sheng, Ling Ying left with gritted teeth.
She is not the kind of person who would tolerate grudges without taking revenge. Although she cannot change Ji Xingtian's temper, she can still make him unhappy in the next two days.
As soon as the man left, Xiang Sheng sent Sijiu out as well and closed the door. The smile on his face instantly disappeared, turning into a cold expression.
When Ji Teng blew himself up and the cave collapsed that day, she clearly saw with her spiritual sense that the city lord's seal was under the rubble, but now it was gone.
In other words, before she returned to the pit and pretended to be unconscious, waiting for Ling Ying to wake up and take action, another person had gone to the sinkhole and taken away the city lord's seal.
Did this person find the place after she left, or had he always been there?
If he had always been there, how much of what I did would he have seen?
If she were that person and saw the whole process, she would definitely report it to the Ji family in exchange for a large reward.
So when Ji Xingtian came here today, he shouldn't have come to question people, but to arrest them directly.
In this case, that person should not have seen her plotting against Ji Teng. At most, he heard a little ending that could not be considered a clue because Ji Teng's self-detonation destroyed the forbidden barrier she had set up in advance.
But in this case, there would be no benefit for this person to take away the city lord seal that could no longer be activated, except for being charged with theft.
What exactly is this person's purpose...
Xiang Sheng rubbed his brows with a headache and sighed softly.
The information was limited and she couldn't make any inference.
There is always a loophole.
She has the Heaven-Deceiving Formation Plate and the Breath-Concealing Technique, and her concealment skills are top-notch, but her detection skills are far behind due to the limitations of her realm. In the future, she should use today's events as a warning to herself.
The same mistake must never be made again.
Moreover, the shortcomings also need to be addressed. I heard that there is a fairy storehouse in the Red and Green Army, which contains a wide variety of magic techniques. As long as the military merit is sufficient, the magical power can be exchanged...
While Xiang Sheng was reflecting on himself, Ji Xingtian and the others had just returned to the City Lord's Mansion when they received a report from a servant.
"Master, there's a wandering immortal outside the door asking to see you. He claims to have found the City Lord's Seal and has important clues to City Lord Ji's case!"
Ji Xingtian's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he sneered: "Picking it up? I think it's stealing!"
Seeing that he was trying to cause trouble again, another immortal quickly advised, "Young Master, since this person has sent the City Lord Seal to us, it is better for us to keep out of trouble.
Furthermore, with this person's clues, Ji Teng's case will be supplemented, and we will have to give an explanation after we return."
When Ji Xingtian heard this, his expression relaxed slightly.
"Well, let him come in and answer."
