The construction of the Fengling Sect's island city area is extremely prosperous.

At a glance, the street shops are full of dazzling goods.

Lin Hao's arm, as Tao Ling "pulled" it, almost ran all the way, shuttling between various snack stalls.

The meats roasted and sold at the snack stalls in Dianzong city are not ordinary pork, beef and mutton.

On the contrary, various magical beasts, birds and beasts, after being swallowed, have a very good effect in nourishing the body.

For example, each skewer of barbecue is worth two Lingyang stones.

Compared with the prices outside, it is equivalent to 20,000 silver taels.

How can ordinary civilians afford it?

Lin Hao couldn't help but be secretly shocked by this.

No wonder the local residents in Dianzong City all have martial arts physiques far superior to ordinary people.

Food and drink are all spiritual rice, spiritual spring water, and high-level monster meat.

With so many abundant resources to enjoy, after years of casual training, one can become much stronger than the warriors from the outside world.

The origin of the holy land of martial arts is not groundless!

"Do you know where the Zhang family's mansion is?"

While strolling around, Lin Hao suddenly asked.

Tao Ling nodded and asked curiously, "Why are you asking this suddenly? Let me tell you first, don't keep me in suspense."

"Task."

Lin Hao smiled calmly. There was no need to hide anything from Tao Ling, his 'fellow villager' and partner.

"Task?"

Hearing this, Tao Ling's beautiful eyes looked around, as if she had thought of something, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Don't tell me that you accepted the mission from Zhang Yulong in the Law Enforcement Hall?"

She stared at Lin Hao in surprise and asked softly.

Lin Hao nodded silently without saying much.

hiss--!

After getting Lin Hao's confirmation, Tao Ling's chest heaved and he took a deep breath.

"Lin Hao, are you out of your mind? That mission is very difficult. You might even lose your life if you fail."

Tao Ling frowned slightly, and there was a hint of concern in her tone of reproach.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Just like the previous mission of Di Yao from the Dark Palace, Lin Hao still used this indifferent tone.

"I don't know what's going on in your head."

Tao Ling slapped his forehead and muttered to himself in confusion.

"I'm different from you."

As they walked, Lin Hao smiled and said calmly, "I am a man, and I need to take responsibility for many things."

"And this kind of responsibility has no substitute except for great strength."

Hearing this, Tao Ling's face was slightly stunned.

She shifted her gaze slightly and looked at Lin Hao's angular profile. She naturally understood the meaning of the latter's words.

The last time he was on a mission in the Dark Temple, although he killed Di Yao, Ni Duan was discovered by the temple guard elder Wu Wei and was chased all the way.

In order to protect Lin Hao's safety, she resolutely stepped forward and took charge of the murder.

Wu Wei was obviously quite wary of the powerful Tao family, and during the period that followed, he did not openly continue to cause trouble.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Hao’s desire to become stronger becomes stronger!

At least next time, even if the murder is discovered, he will be strong enough to not need a woman to stand up for him.

This is a man's self-esteem!!

"Zhang's residence is in the southern part of the city..."

Seeing that Lin Hao was determined to do so, Tao Ling sighed inwardly, and then told him all the information he had about the Zhang family as they walked.

Throughout the whole process, Lin Hao listened quietly and secretly memorized some key details.

Just like this, in the bustling street, the two of them got closer and closer, and slowly moved towards the direction of Tao Mansion.

…

Tao Mansion.

Located in the prosperous area in the west of the city, it covers a very large area.

In the night, it was like a giant beast lying down, gazing at the entire city.

At this time, Tao Ling had already arrived here with Lin Hao.

As the head family of the Tao clan with profound heritage, each generation is passed down by selecting the best and eliminating the worst, so as to maintain the long-term prosperity of the family.

In front of the gate of Tao Mansion.

Two guards in leather armor, with burly build and long axes in their hands, stood majestically on both sides of the door, looking extremely murderous.

"Level Nine Warrior!"

Feeling the breath of the two guards, Lin Hao was slightly surprised.

If such a soldier were placed in an external army, he would at least be a commander-level warrior!

However, in the Tao family, he was just a gatekeeper.

On the way here, Tao Ling was talking about the powerful background of their Tao family. I thought she was just bragging, but it seems to be really extraordinary.

At this moment, there were many vehicles parked on the street outside the mansion.

At first glance, they are all extremely luxurious, and the ones responsible for pulling them are all high-level magical beasts.

Ice Flame Demon Lion, Thunder Pattern Tiger, Blood Eyed Silver Wolf, Spirit Rock Leopard...

Any one of them would be a terrifying monster that would make people's hearts flutter in the outside world.

But here, it has been reduced to a lowly cart-pulling beast.

The banquet seemed to have already begun. Apart from the guards standing guard at the huge gate of the mansion, no guests were seen entering.

"Miss!"

At this time, the two guards noticed Tao Ling approaching and immediately saluted respectfully.

Immediately, the two of them cast a slightly sharp gaze towards Lin Hao and took a quick look at him.

"Has the banquet started?" Tao Ling asked with a smile.

"Yes."

The guard nodded and said respectfully, "The master of the family has instructed that when the young lady returns, please go directly to the living room in the front yard."

Tao Ling said no more, took Lin Hao's hand and walked into the mansion.

Seeing this, the two guards were slightly stunned, but seeing that it was the eldest lady's guest, they did not step forward to stop him.

"Welcome back, Miss."

"Hello, young lady."

Along the way, the busy servants in the mansion all greeted Tao Ling enthusiastically.

However, when they saw that the eldest lady was holding the hand of a strange man, they were all surprised.

"It's not appropriate for us to do this."

It was the first time that Lin Hao was held by the hand by a woman like this, and he obviously felt a little uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with that? We are boyfriend and girlfriend now."

Tao Ling blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled sweetly.

"I don't mind. You're a grown man, why are you still shy?"

Instead, she found the embarrassment on Lin Hao's face very interesting and did not have the slightest intention of avoiding it.

When he heard the word boyfriend or girlfriend, Lin Hao's mouth curled up into a helpless smile.

He could even imagine how exciting the scene would be when Tao Ling's father and many of her 'rivals' saw such an ambiguous action!

Just like that, Lin Hao was held tightly by that soft hand and went straight to the living room.
