So, Gu Qingxi said, "I'll go to the City Lord's Mansion to investigate and find out if there is any news about Xia Tian and the others."
"What about me?" Huo Xiaodao pointed at himself. He knew that he was a burden following Gu Qingxi now, but he still didn't want to be separated from Gu Qingxi.
"You wait for me here obediently." Gu Qingxi looked at Huo Xiaodao who was eagerly looking at her, and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I will come back to you soon, I will be fine."
Huo Xiaodao nodded aggrievedly, with reluctance in his eyes.
Gu Qingxi took out a silver ingot and gave it to Zheng Yuan and the others: "Protect Daodao well, and don't let him starve. This money can buy him food."
Zheng Yuan and Kong Tian were both stunned. They didn't expect that this human female cultivator was so concerned about the young master.
They both nodded vigorously.
"I will take you out. The premise is that you protect Daodao well. And after you go out, Lord Huo will reward you." Gu Qingxi said in a somewhat cold tone.
Zheng Yuan and Kong Tian nodded vigorously again. Both of them understood the meaning of Gu Qingxi's words.
She took them out, on the premise that they could protect Huo Xiaodao, and it would be a great achievement after they got out.
If they failed to protect Huo Xiaodao, then...
Gu Qingxi gave Huo Xiaodao a small bag, told him that it contained healing pills and some silver, and then left.
Huo Xiaodao touched the small porcelain bottle and silver in the bag, with mixed feelings.
Gu Qingxi was really good, she was completely different from the cunning and cruel humans that her brothers and sisters talked about!
As a powerful sea creature, he actually had to rely on humans for protection, and a human woman. He didn't want this.
After he got out, he would work hard to practice and become stronger, so that he could protect Gu Qingxi in the future!
Gu Qingxi was walking on the street and saw people who looked like guards rushing forward quickly, shouting at passers-by on the road to get out of the way.
Gu Qingxi stood on the side of the road, listening to the people next to him whispering.
"There are outsiders again."
"You can tell at a glance that it's outsiders causing trouble."
"It's really annoying. Why are all the outsiders who just came here so ignorant of life and death?"
"It doesn't matter. You'll know what's good for you after a beating."
"Not really. Some people need to be beaten several times."
"It seems that there are some strange-looking outsiders coming in this time, and there seem to be quite a few of them."
"That's just right. We can have more people to work."
"Yes, the city lord wants to hold a grand event, and he really needs a lot of people to work."
...
Gu Qingxi listened to these words and guessed in her heart that this secret realm was controlled by the city lord. And this time, the strange spiritual power fluctuations in the sea area should be controlled by the city lord, which attracted many sea creatures to come and investigate.
Then the city lord opened the secret realm and sucked all these sea creatures in.
And the reason, is it to make Lan Yan smile?
Capturing more sea creatures is to prepare for the so-called grand event?
Gu Qingxi felt that her idea was outrageous, but there seemed to be some basis for it.
After all, from the stories of the two sea creatures, Gu Qingxi deduced that the female city lord was an arbitrary hedonist. She could choose a groom every year, and now she was disbanding her "harem" for a beautiful man. It was not surprising that she did such a thing.
Gu Qingxi continued to walk along the main road, and saw the guards beating up the sea creatures involved this time.
The appearance of these sea creatures was a bit spicy.
However, the people watching around seemed to have long been accustomed to the strange appearance of these sea creatures.
There was no fear or curiosity on their faces, but contempt and disgust.
Gu Qingxi just glanced at this side from a distance, and then turned and left.
The city lord's mansion is actually very easy to find, because it is very conspicuous.
In the center of the city, the tallest and most conspicuous building must be the city lord's mansion.
On the way to the city lord's mansion, Gu Qingxi met an acquaintance.
It was Zhao Yiyi.
Zhao Yiyi stood at the corner of the street, frowning, looking sharply at the city lord's mansion in front of him.
Gu Qingxi approached, but he didn't notice it yet.
Obviously, Zhao Yiyi is also a mortal now.
"Zhao Yiyi." Gu Qingxi called out.
Zhao Yiyi was shocked and turned around suddenly. When he saw that it was Gu Qingxi, he relaxed.
But when he saw that Gu Qingxi was alone, his face sank: "Where is Huo Xiaodao?"
"He met the guard who disappeared before, and he is now with two guards. Don't worry." Gu Qingxi replied.
Zhao Yiyi frowned and remained silent, as if judging the truth of Gu Qingxi's words.
"Where is he? I'll go find him." Zhao Yiyi was obviously still worried about Huo Xiaodao.
After all, in his opinion, Huo Xiaodao was stupid, weak and crybaby. If no one protected him, he didn't know how scared Huo Xiaodao would be.
"At the edge of the west city, the two sea creatures who take care of him are called Zheng Yuan and Kong Tian." Gu Qingxi replied.
Gu Qingxi originally thought that Zhao Yiyi would go to find Huo Xiaodao after she said so, but Zhao Yiyi didn't go after hearing what Gu Qingxi said.
"Okay, then I won't go." Zhao Yiyi nodded.
Gu Qingxi: “???” What is this kid doing?
“Since you can call out the names of the two guards, it seems that what you said is true. Huo Xiaodao should be fine. Did you come here to investigate the City Lord’s Mansion?” Zhao Yiyi asked after explaining.
Gu Qingxi: “…” This kid is indeed a tsundere. I wonder if it’s tiring for others to get along with him. Without waiting
for Gu Qingxi to answer, Zhao Yiyi spoke to himself: “After I arrived here, I found that the people here are divided into different classes, and outsiders are the lowest. The sea people who have lost their cultivation are enslaved and oppressed here, and they will be beaten or even killed if they resist.
And this city lord is the only one with cultivation.
I guess the secret realm is also controlled by her.
So I want to come to the City Lord’s Mansion to investigate.”
After hearing this, Gu Qingxi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhao Yiyi with a new respect.
There is no harm without comparison.
The wise and calm Zhao Yiyi, compared with the naive Huo Xiaodao, the result of the comparison is really tragic.
However, Gu Qingxi still prefers Huo Xiaodao who has a sincere heart.
"I also suspect so, so I want to go to the City Lord's Mansion to check. You can wait here, or go to Huo Xiaodao's place. I'll go in and check." Gu Qingxi said.
She was not very confident that Zhao Yiyi, who had lost his cultivation, would rashly enter the City Lord's Mansion.
"What do you mean? Look down on me?" Zhao Yiyi's face sank and he frowned.
"Yes." Gu Qingxi nodded, unusually direct.
Zhao Yiyi choked and was about to lose his temper when Gu Qingxi said seriously, "You didn't even notice me approaching you just now. What qualifications do you have to sneak into the mansion? I think you will be discovered as soon as you go in, and then beaten to death. Don't blame me for speaking harshly, don't you think I'm telling the truth?"
With the lustful temper of the city lord before, if he caught a handsome boy like Zhao Yiyi, he might have stayed. But now the city lord only wants to please the gorgeous man, and he might really beat Zhao Yiyi to death for breaking into the city lord's mansion.
However, when Gu Qingxi thought that the gorgeous man might be Senior Brother Ye, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Why did she feel this way?
