Chapter 231 Zetian
The man in brocade robe released his hands that were covering Lian Ling's eyes. He looked indifferent and didn't care about his previous behavior. His eyes revealed a kind of indifference and alienation.
"Go home! Youyun City is not peaceful. It's not safe for a little girl like you to be outside."
The voice of the man in brocade robe was low and calm, but his tone revealed an unquestionable majesty.
"It's you!"
Lian Ling did not back down because of the coldness of the man in brocade robe. Instead, she shouted excitedly.
She widened her eyes, with a curious gleam in them, and stared at the man in brocade robes.
"Thank you for treating me to steamed buns today."
The man in brocade robe frowned slightly, a little overwhelmed by Lian Ling's enthusiasm. He forced a smile at the corner of his mouth, trying to look friendly.
"You're welcome." He responded calmly, and then reminded Lian Ling again: "Go home quickly!"
"But……"
Lian Ling lowered her head, looking pitiful. She fiddled with the corners of her clothes with her hands, looking very helpless, but there was a hint of cunning in her clear eyes.
"My home is very far from here. Big brother, can you take me in for one night?"
The man in brocade robe looked at her and was silent for a moment. There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but he finally nodded.
"Come with me."
After hearing this, Lian Ling immediately jumped up happily. She followed the man in brocade robe happily, her little mouth talking non-stop as if she had endless things to say.
"Big brother, my name is Lian Ling, you can call me Ling'er. What's your name?"
The man in brocade robe turned his head to look at the girl beside him, and seeing her expectant face, he couldn't help but speak.
"Zetian."
"Oh, Brother Zetian, where are we going? To your house?"
"No, we're going to the City Lord's Mansion."
"The City Lord's Mansion? Is it fun there? Does Brother Zetian also live in the City Lord's Mansion?"
Lian Ling's pair of clear eyes were like the stars in the night sky, sparkling when she looked at Ze Tian.
Zetian sighed in his heart. He regretted agreeing to take in this noisy little girl.
"The City Lord's Mansion is not fun. You should stay here tonight and go home early tomorrow."
"Why? Where is your home, Brother Zetian?"
Lian Ling still had a face full of questions.
Zetian glanced at her calmly and explained patiently.
"There are many evil people in Youyun City. It is too dangerous to stay here, so you should leave Youyun City early tomorrow and go home."
"oh."
After listening to this, Lian Ling nodded seriously.
Zetian breathed a sigh of relief. Raising a child is not an easy job. He didn't know where they got so much to say.
"Brother Zetian, why do you want to stay in Youyun City? Aren't you afraid of danger?"
Lian Ling's clear and pleasant voice was like a magic sound piercing through his brain. Ze Tian's body stiffened slightly, and he exhaled deeply.
She is a little baby, be patient.
"I have something to do here, and I will leave in a few days."
"Brother Zetian, where is your home? Can I come to your home to play with you later?"
Ze Tian remained silent and ignored Lian Ling's words. Seeing the gate of the City Lord's Mansion right in front of him, he felt relieved.
"We're here, let's go in first."
Lian Ling rarely spoke and followed Ze Tian into the City Lord's Mansion obediently. She looked at the decoration of the City Lord's Mansion curiously, with great amazement in her eyes.
After a while, Zetian took her to the hall. Sitting inside was a stunningly handsome man of the same age as him. When he saw Zetian coming in with an incredibly beautiful girl, interest flashed in the man's eyes.
"Zetian, who is this little girl?"
"I rescued her on the road. She'll stay here for one night and leave tomorrow."
Zetian glanced at the man expressionlessly, and just by looking at his expression he knew what was in his mind.
"Yeah?"
The man looked at Zetian in disbelief.
"Yes. It was Brother Zetian who saved me."
After observing the City Lord's Mansion for a while, the talkative Lian Ling found it boring. She still liked to chat with people.
"Really? My name is Murong Li. What's your name, little girl?"
Seeing the innocent look on the little girl's face, Murong Li couldn't help but want to tease her a little.
He has seen too many women who acted pretentiously and artificially in front of him. It was rare for the little girl not to be fascinated by his beauty.
"My name is Lian Ling."
Lian Ling's eyes were clear, and there was no trace of surprise in them when she looked at Murong Li.
Murong Li touched his cheek uncertainly, then took out a bronze mirror from his arms, looked at himself, and nodded complacently.
That’s right, my face is still so beautiful and unparalleled in the world. Well, but she’s a little bit worse than the girl in front of me.
Murong Li felt somewhat relieved. This little girl must be used to seeing him, so she turned a blind eye to his stunning beauty.
"Lian Ling, do you think I am good-looking?"
"It's OK!"
Lian Ling followed behind Ze Tian and spoke perfunctorily. Murong Li felt his heart hurt again.
"It's okay? Lian Ling, do you want to take a closer look?"
Murong Li felt a little unconfident, and he looked left and right in the small bronze mirror. That's right, his face is still as handsome as before.
"It's better to be good-looking for nothing."
After Lian Ling finished speaking, Jiaojiao and Xiaobai nodded in agreement.
"Who is Baibai?"
Murong Li......
He just couldn't believe that there was a man as handsome as him.
"It's just for nothing."
Lian Ling gave Murong Li a blank look, thinking this man was a little stupid.
Zetian sat aside calmly, watching his friend perform funny acts. Seeing that he was about to go crazy, she spoke softly.
"Okay, Ling'er is tired too, let's arrange for someone to take her to rest."
Murong Li covered his injured heart and called the maid to take Lian Ling to the guest room to rest.
Lian Ling had been playing all day and was indeed a little sleepy, so she obediently followed the maid.
After Lian Ling walked away, Murong Li approached Ze Tian with a sly smile on his face.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I've never seen you be so kind and gentle to women. The thousand-year-old iron tree of our God of War Zetian is about to bloom."
"This little girl is really good. Not only is she outstanding in appearance, but her aura is also clean and pure. Why don't you just take her in?"
Ze Tian glanced at him indifferently, and Murong Li's playful expression slowly disappeared, and he curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Not even a joke."
"The demons are appearing frequently nowadays. Your Youyun City is almost becoming a demon city. Do you have any plans?"
Zetian picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"oops."
Murong Li rubbed his long hair irritably.
"I've already said it before, I'm not cut out to be a city lord. My lifelong ambition is to travel and enjoy the scenery, but now I'm trapped in this small Youyun City."
