"No, I'm here to wait for you to go out together." Ye Wuchen replied.
Hmm? What does this mean? Gu Qingxi didn't understand for a moment.
Didn't Senior Brother Ye open the hidden level by himself, but came to find him? Did the tower spirit do it? Gu Qingxi immediately thought of this layer.
"Wait for you to pass the level." Ye Wuchen said briefly.
This is a level that belongs to Gu Qingxi, and it is also an opportunity that belongs to Gu Qingxi. He will not interfere.
Gu Qingxi also understood what Ye Wuchen expressed.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with doing this.
No, there is another problem. Gu Qingxi looked at the guard clothes on Ye Wuchen, and finally hesitated and said: "Then, Senior Brother Ye, are you going to find a place to rest and wait for me?" Ye Wuchen
was about to answer, and the voice of the tower spirit sounded in his mind: "Continue to pretend to be the guard beside her and assist her in investigating the strange things happening in the city. Otherwise, don't even think about going out."
"No, I will go with you and help you pass the level." Ye Wuchen replied.
This is different from what you said just now. Gu Qingxi was puzzled. Are men so fickle?
"Brother Ye, the task of this level is for me to investigate and solve the strange things that happened in the city." Although Gu Qingxi was a little confused about Ye Wuchen's change of heart, she didn't say much, but began to share her information.
"Assist you in the investigation." Ye Wuchen said briefly.
Gu Qingxi understood that Ye Wuchen meant that his task was to assist her in investigating the strange things that happened in the city. Is this a temporary task issued to him by the tower spirit?
"After I came to this level, my identity was the youngest daughter of the city lord's family. I have been raised in a farm outside the city. I was taken back to the city lord's mansion two days ago. The city lord has four children. I have an older brother, an older sister, and a younger brother. My brother and sister are born to the same mother. Their mother is the first city lord's wife. I am the second city lord's wife, and my younger brother is the current city lord's wife. As for the strange things in the city, I haven't found any problems in the past two days ." Gu Qingxi explained her identity in the hidden level in detail.
"I am your guard." Ye Wuchen had no expression on his face.
"It's still the guard I picked up on the roadside this morning. I randomly named him Jiayi." Gu Qingxi added. This is the information that just flooded into her mind.
Ye Wuchen didn't say anything, but turned his head to look out the window, wondering what he was thinking.
Gu Qingxi didn't say anything for the time being, but sat at the table, opened the roast duck that Ye Wuchen had just placed on the table, took out a beautiful little dagger, wiped it with a handkerchief, and began to slice the roast duck.
Ye Wuchen looked at Gu Qingxi in confusion: "In the illusion, it's fake." Obviously, what he wanted to say was that in the illusion, everything was fake. Gu Qingxi eating this fake roast duck, not to mention that it didn't taste real, it was easy to fall into a trap. Who knows what the things in the illusion look like roast duck on the surface, but what they are actually?
Gu Qingxi looked up at Ye Wuchen and suddenly smiled, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, which made people suffocate.
"Everything here is real, this is not an illusion." Gu Qingxi said such a sentence.
Ye Wuchen's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was finally no longer as calm as before. He frowned and looked out of the window into the distance, and then turned his head to look at the roast duck in Gu Qingxi's hand.
Gu Qingxi slowly stuffed a piece of roast duck into her mouth, her expression comfortable: "It tastes good, it's worthy of being a time-honored brand."
"When did you find out?" Ye Wuchen asked in a deep voice.
"About a quarter of an hour after I came in." Gu Qingxi said slowly while eating roast duck, "I was like you. When I first came in, I thought this was also an illusion like the other levels. But later I found out that everything was real. We were teleported to a real place."
Ye Wuchen sat opposite Gu Qingxi and said in a clear voice: "Do you have any clues? Strange things."
Gu Qingxi looked up at the handsome and cold man in front of her, and couldn't help complaining in her heart: "This person is really frugal with words."
"Not yet, but the tower spirit asked us to investigate the strange things that happened in the city. And my identity is the youngest daughter of the city lord. In addition to making it easier for me to act, is this so-called strange thing also related to the city lord's mansion?" Although Gu Qingxi complained in her heart, her face remained unchanged, and she analyzed with Ye Wuchen.
"Yeah." Gu Qingxi responded with a word "yes."
"I will be back to the City Lord's Mansion soon, you put this on." An exquisite mask suddenly appeared out of thin air in Gu Qingxi's hand, and she handed the mask to Ye Wuchen.
Ye Wuchen's face was too eye-catching. It was breathtakingly beautiful and beyond description. Bringing it back to the City Lord's Mansion like this would definitely cause trouble.
"Where did you get it from?" Ye Wuchen wondered.
"It's in my storage bracelet." Gu Qingxi answered as a matter of course.
Ye Wuchen: ...So it's just that he was disabled from using his spiritual power and became a mortal, but Gu Qingxi wasn't?
"You can still use spiritual power? Is there a limit to your strength?" Ye Wuchen asked.
"No." Gu Qingxi shook her head.
So it was only Ye Wuchen who became a mortal, and Gu Qingxi was still a cultivator who could use spiritual power.
Ye Wuchen: ...He saw that the tower spirit favored Gu Qingxi.
Ye Wuchen took the mask and put it on. Hearing the footsteps outside the house, Ye Wuchen stood up and stood behind Gu Qingxi, dutifully playing the role of a guard.
Gu Qingxi continued to eat roast duck when there was a knock on the door: "Miss, it's time to go back. If the city lord doesn't see you, he will be worried."
"Got it." Gu Qingxi responded, put away the dagger, and walked to the door.
Ye Wuchen followed behind with his head down. There were two maids and four guards following Gu Qingxi. Ye Wuchen was one of them.
The city lord's mansion is in the center of the city. It is also the largest building with the most houses and the tallest.
Gu Qingxi's carriage stopped at the gate of the city lord's mansion. A maid immediately stepped forward to lift the door curtain and put a small stool for her to get off.
The city lord's mansion is heavily guarded, and every guard is in good spirits. After seeing Gu Qingxi, they all bowed their heads and saluted, very respectful.
Ye Wuchen followed behind, observing the surroundings. In his heart, he was also wondering where the tower spirit had teleported them to.
"Miss, the city lord is waiting for you in the study." A middle-aged man who looked like a butler came up and said respectfully.
"Thank you, housekeeper Zeng." Gu Qingxi nodded, and then walked towards the study.
When she arrived at the study, Gu Qingxi pushed the door open and walked in.
The maids and guards stopped at the door of the study and stood outside the door waiting for Gu Qingxi.
This was not the first time Gu Qingxi had met the city lord. When she was taken back to the city lord's mansion two days ago, she had met the city lord and his wife. Today was the second time she had met the city lord.
The city lord was wearing a dark blue dress with cloud patterns embroidered on the hem. He looked to be only about forty years old. He had two very recognizable beards and a handsome face. He seemed to like frowning a lot. There was a clear "川" between his eyebrows. He looked very serious.
This city lord was a cultivator. And his cultivation had reached the Golden Core Stage.
