Chapter 233 I Want to Go Out and Play
"Last night, someone broke into our City Lord's Mansion and took someone away. Did you notice?"
Murong Li looked at the two people below with cold eyes.
The two men looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
"City Lord, it is my fault."
The two men were extremely terrified and bowed their heads to apologize to Murong Li.
"It is indeed a dereliction of duty." Murong Li spoke slowly, with oppression in his eyes.
"I will not pursue what happened last night for now. Today, the two of you will take your men and search Youyun City thoroughly, and drive all suspicious people out of the city."
Murong Li's voice was low and powerful.
"Suspicious people?" The two men looked up at Murong Li in confusion.
"Please tell me clearly, City Lord!" They knew that this mission was extremely important, but they were still a little confused about who to look for.
"All those who commit crimes, are extremely evil, and have unknown origins will be expelled from Youyun City."
Murong Li's tone left no room for doubt.
"Yes." The two answered in unison. Although they still had doubts in their hearts, they also knew that now was not the time to ask.
Because they had neglected their duty last night, the two did not dare to ask the reason and hurriedly accepted the order and left.
They knew Murong Li's character very well, and if they continued to ask, it would probably cause him even greater dissatisfaction.
The most important thing at this moment is to complete the task as quickly as possible to make up for last night's mistakes.
Youyun City was in chaos for a while, and the people were in panic.
…
Early in the morning, Lian Bai came out of the wooden house and looked at Lian Ling with a half-smile, who was pretending to be well-behaved and thinking about her mistakes in the pavilion.
When Lian Ling saw Lian Bai, her eyes suddenly lit up and she acted pitiful.
"Bai Bai, my feet hurt so much, I'm so tired."
Lian Bai shook his head helplessly. He could never be cruel to her. He deliberately put on a stern face and said seriously.
"Do you know you're wrong? Will you dare to sneak out next time?"
"I don't dare."
Lian Ling's little head shook like a rattle, and her eyes, clear as stars, showed a fawning look like a puppy.
"I will be obedient and not sneak out again."
When Lian Bai saw her like this, his heart softened like water.
"Okay, I'll let you go this time, but I won't let you off easily next time."
He also knew that this little girl was only well-behaved in words, but was actually very bold. It was impossible to make her calm down, so he could only be more careful.
Lian Ling only cared about eating and not about fighting, and in a short while she started to fight with the four little beasts. Lian Bai looked at Lian Ling's bright smiling face and smiled unconsciously himself.
"Why."
The sacred tree grandfather walked out of the tree and stood shoulder to shoulder with Lian Bai.
"I really hope Xiao Ling'er can be this happy throughout her life."
"Grandpa Shenshu, is it true that Ling'er's love tribulation cannot be avoided?"
Lian Bai put away the smile on his face, and sadness was revealed in his eyes.
"Why."
Grandpa Shenshu sighed and shook his head.
"We spiritual plants have to go through a great tribulation in this life of cultivating as human beings. Those who are deeply in love go through the tribulation of love, while those who are heartless go through the tribulation of thunder. The tribulation of thunder hurts the body, while the tribulation of love hurts both the heart and the body."
"Ling'er is ignorant of worldly affairs and too naive. I'm afraid that once she goes through a catastrophe, there will be no recovery."
Lian Bai looked at Lian Ling with doting in his eyes. He grew up with her and the two of them had been together for countless years. This feeling had long been ingrained in their bones and blood.
"Lian Bai, your love tribulation should be with Ling'er, you must also stop the loss in time and sever the emotional ties with your sword. Otherwise, you will also fall into a place of no return."
Grandpa Shenshu looked at Lianbai and tried to persuade him earnestly. He had watched these two little guys grow up, and he couldn't bear to see either of them get hurt.
"It's alright, Grandpa Shenshu. As long as I can stay by her side in this life and watch her live a carefree life, I will be satisfied."
"Why......."
Grandpa Shenshu sighed again. Perhaps he was getting old and becoming sentimental.
He has always seen how Lian Bai feels towards Ling'er. From the time she was young and ignorant to the time she first became conscious, he has been with her without any regrets.
But Ling'er, where is her emotional tribulation? Grandpa Shenshu counted quietly with his fingers again, and it was still an ominous sign.
Grandpa Divine Tree even blamed himself for having too low a level of cultivation, otherwise he would have figured out who Ling'er was who had experienced the tribulation and just killed him to be done with it.
"All we can do now is to prevent Ling'er from leaving the Lotus Secret Realm. As long as Ling'er doesn't meet the person who has experienced the tribulation, her love tribulation will not come into being."
"I understand."
Lian Bai nodded, but felt a little uneasy in his heart.
After a few days, Lian Ling's mood became a little depressed. Since the last time she went out, she has become more and more longing for the outside world.
She sat quietly by the spiritual spring, hugging her knees, staring ahead with empty eyes, and unconsciously pulling the blooming flowers beside her with her hands.
Lian Bai sat upright in the pavilion, his slender white fingers gently plucking the strings in front of him.
As he played, melodious piano sounds poured out like clear springs, crisp and clear, as if they could cleanse one's soul and make one feel relaxed and happy.
However, this beautiful piano music did not attract Lian Ling's attention.
Suddenly, Lian Ling threw away the flowers in her hand, stood up, and flew lightly into the pavilion. She stretched out her little hand and without hesitation interrupted the sound of the piano that Lian Bai was playing.
"Baibai, I don't want to listen to you playing the piano! I want to go out and play!"
Lian Ling pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction and willfulness.
"Ling'er, don't mess around."
Lian Bai patiently held down her naughty little hand and said to her with a smile.
"You promised me that you would never sneak out again."
"snort."
Lian Lingqi sat aside with a puffed look on her face, mumbling and making specious arguments.
"I promised not to sneak out again, but now I'm asking to go out openly."
Lian Bai felt a headache when he saw the willful and bad-tempered Lian Ling in front of him. He stretched out his finger, tapped her forehead lightly, and said helplessly.
"You are such a naughty kid, always making a fuss and coming up with all kinds of twisted ideas. Why aren't you so active when I tell you to practice well?"
"Hmph, you bad bastard. I won't talk to you anymore."
Lian Ling covered her forehead, pouted her lips, turned her head away angrily, and no longer looked at him.
"Ling'er, then tell me why you want to go out? You are at home, and you have Jiaojiao and Xiaobai to play with you. And Grandpa Shenshu and I can talk to you and keep you company, isn't that good?"
Lian Bai looked at the angry little girl, stood up, rubbed her hair, and tried to persuade her softly.
"No, I want to go find Brother Zetian. He's so nice. He treated me to some buns and helped me beat the bad guys away."
When Lian Ling mentioned Ze Tian, her eyes sparkled with dazzling brilliance.
