Chapter 297 Lord City Lord (10)
The two poor souls were tortured all night and then thrown into the water to be submerged for half an hour before finally seeing the lofty Lord of Huanhua City.
The two of them initially didn't take Huanhua City seriously, since Huanhua City's ability was to control the environment, which couldn't really harm them.
However, they never expected that the other party wouldn't use illusion magic at all; they simply used overwhelming force, which made them completely cower and utterly helpless.
"Bai Sheng of the Temple pays respects to the Lord of Illusion Flower City."
"Shenmiao Zhiyu pays respects to the Lord of Huanhua City."
The two of them immediately knelt down without anyone having to tell them.
Gu Yanjing held the teacup and slowly nodded: "Mm."
The seasons in Fantasy Flower City are quite unpredictable, half winter and half summer, with no time to adjust. Just two days ago, Gu Yanjing was wearing only a single layer of clothing, but now her hands are already cold.
Lu Lingjun sat down next to Gu Yanjing, took his hand, and tried to warm it up for him. However, Lu Lingjun's hand was colder than Gu Yanjing's, and Gu Yanjing disdainfully gave him a bowl of tea.
Envoy: I suddenly don't quite understand the relationship between these two.
"We were sent by the Holy Maiden to invite you two to the temple as guests." The two men, having received no orders from Gu Yanjing, did not dare to get up and continued to kneel.
When have they ever been treated like this on their journey?
"A guest?" Gu Yanjing's expression was indifferent.
"Yes, the Holy Maiden heard of your great reputation in the far north and greatly admired you. She wished to meet you, but due to her status, she could not leave the temple. Therefore, she could only send the two of us from a short distance to Huanhua City to invite you to the temple as guests."
The two of them finally understood that this city lord of Huanhua City was extremely wild, and the name of the temple was of no use at all. Right now, they could only flatter this person and coax him to the temple before dealing with him.
If you dare to act so shamelessly here, you're probably asking for a beating.
However, as it turns out, no matter how eloquently the two of them spoke, Gu Yanjing's mind was still sharp, and she only needed to say one thing.
"What's your Holy Maiden's name?" Is she Zhang Ling'er's silly disciple?
Bai Sheng knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly, "Reporting to the City Lord, our Holy Maiden is named Yu Qingqing."
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise, somewhat disappointed.
If it's not Zhang Ling'er, then what's the point of going? It's pointless.
"If your holy maiden wishes to see me, then come yourself."
Bai Sheng and Zhi Yu were quite bewildered when they were thrown out.
They failed their mission. It was such a simple task—a public-funded meal and a trip—and all they had to do was relay a message and call someone over. How could they have messed it up like that?
This means death. The people from the temple can't go back, and they can't even stay on this continent anymore.
The temple could not possibly keep them; what should they do?
However, they did not expect that Gu Yanjing would still take Lu Lingjun and have Gu Congxin drive to the temple the next day.
They received a telepathic message from Tuntian last night and were very anxious, so they said only one sentence: "Your Majesty, save us."
Then the signal was lost.
Gu Yanjing searched with his divine sense but couldn't find him. If something hadn't happened, Gu Yanjing would have twisted Lu Lingjun's head off.
So, having lost his apprentice, Gu Yanjing resigned himself to his fate and embarked on a journey to find this troublesome group.
Lu Lingjun shamelessly followed, while Gu Congxin pretended to drive, but as soon as they left the city, they abandoned the car and flew directly there.
Gu Yanjing must be crazy to take that broken-down car to the far north.
My buttocks must be sore from all the bouncing.
