Chapter 1240 Why don’t you kneel down!

This pull directly made Hua Shiqing take a step back. As she stepped back, she didn't have time to hold on to the city lord.

As a result, when she let go, the city lord who was about to kneel down suddenly stopped in mid-air, with his knees still some distance from the ground, and he didn't kneel down at all.

Seeing this scene, not only Hua Shiqing was stunned, even the city lord was stunned. Only Shen Lixian and Mu Xiaoran beside him laughed out loud.

"City Lord, this is the second time you said you wanted to kneel. The first time, my sister held you up, so I understand you didn't have a chance to kneel. But the second time, my sister didn't hold you up, so why didn't you kneel either? Why? City Lord, is the gold under your knees more valuable than your son's life?"

Ye Linglong sneered sarcastically, and at this time, the faces of Hua Shiqing and the city lord both became extremely ugly.

At this moment, the city lord gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and knelt down in front of Hua Shiqing.

But this kneeling did not make Hua Shiqing show the same nervous and respectful expression as before. Although she was not smart, she was not that stupid.

The little sister's pull made her see clearly the city lord's hypocritical face.

He had just been forcing herself, crying, kneeling, and putting pressure on her, not giving her any chance to think or breathe.

She had previously thought that the city lord was so anxious to save his son that he was going crazy, but now it seemed that he did it on purpose.

"Master, it's not that I don't want to kneel before you, I just... you suddenly took a step back and I was stunned."

The city lord was still trying to make up for it, but Hua Shiqing could no longer believe it, because if she really wanted to kneel down, she would have fallen to the ground as she stepped back without anyone to support her. How could she control it so well? Her knees were hanging in the air.

But Hua Shiqing was soft-hearted and ultimately did not continue to expose him.

"Master, you won't refuse to save my son just because of this misunderstanding, right? This... this won't do. Your master has already agreed, and he did this for the sake of the people of Qiyang City. You won't stand idly by, right?"

"But the method you mentioned is too dangerous. If it is not purified thoroughly, he will absorb more power and it will cause greater harm." Hua Shiqing said.

"This method is dangerous, but it is the only way now, isn't it? Once he passes this level, I will keep an eye on him all the time and will never let him be affected by those evil spirits again!" said the city lord.

After the city lord finished speaking, Hua Shiqing hesitated again, and she looked very embarrassed.

At this time, Ye Linglong patted Hua Shiqing on the shoulder.

"You are wrong, Lord."

As soon as Ye Linglong opened his mouth, the city lord's face wrinkled immediately. He had not forgotten who had embarrassed him just now. Who was this person? Why was he so annoying!

"What's wrong with what I said?"

"Nothing is right about it, and it's full of mistakes."

The city lord was startled. He angrily said, "Don't talk nonsense. This is a critical moment! The master hasn't spoken yet. Who are you? Don't disturb the master's thoughts!"

"You know very well who is disturbing my sister's thoughts. If you don't know, I might as well tell you one by one."

"Shut up!"

"City Lord, as the senior sister, I want to hear what the junior sister has to say. Don't you allow me to do that?" Hua Shiqing frowned.

"Master, but she..."

"Isn't the master's junior sister also a master?" Hua Shiqing asked back, "Little junior sister, you talk and I listen. If he doesn't allow you to talk in the City Lord's Mansion, then I will go out of the City Lord's Mansion to listen."

Hua Shiqing said so, so the city lord had to endure it even if he was angry.

"Well, I want to see what she has to say!"

"First of all, you said that purifying evil spirits and absorbing power is the only way." Ye Linglong sneered: "Who is here to deal with things? You are waiting to be rescued, what qualifications do you have to make such a statement? Right, Senior Sister?"

Hua Shiqing nodded firmly. What the junior sister said was right. How could he make a decision and let her realize it? She was the one who came to deal with the problem.

"You want to purify the evil spirit from a person who has been controlled by evil spirits, and leave the evil spirit's power for your son to absorb. You want both. Why don't you go to heaven?"

"You...you should be more polite!" The city lord's veins popped up when he heard this, and he was very angry: "I'm not making a judgment, I'm just giving you an opinion!"

"My sister does not accept your opinion."

"right!"

Hua Shiqing agreed without thinking, but she was stunned for a moment after she said it.

She didn't actually refuse to accept it, but she didn't want to do it because it was very difficult and risky.

"You...you..."

"In my opinion, your son has been completely controlled by the evil spirit. The best way is to directly remove and dispel the evil spirit from him."

"That won't do! If we forcibly extract the evil spirit, he will be seriously injured! Even if we rescue him later, his essence will be damaged, which will affect his cultivation. This won't do!"

Ye Linglong couldn't help but sneer again.

"What will affect his cultivation? He has been completely possessed by this evil spirit. If he forcibly removes the evil spirit, he can only save his life. He will only become a useless person in the future and will never be able to cultivate again."

The city lord widened his eyes.

"That's even worse! My son can't become a useless person! Master, you must have another solution, right?"

Hua Shiqing frowned. In fact, the method suggested by the junior sister was the simplest, most direct and safest, but it was a bit too cruel for the city lord and his son.

While she was thinking, the city lord's cry came again: "He did it for the people of Qiyang City..."

"Forget it." Ye Linglong interrupted him directly: "For the people of Qiyang City? This is just your one-sided statement. You know better than me why he became like this. Don't use this to morally blackmail my senior sister."

"Are you going to force my son to death and make him worthless before you are satisfied?" The city lord said angrily, "You venomous woman, since you are unwilling to help save my son, please get out!"

Seeing that the city lord was going to have a falling out with the junior sister and the matter was going to get out of hand, Hua Shiqing became a little anxious, but she still turned her head to look at the junior sister first and did not speak first.

"City Lord, you are looking at the ancient well beneath your son. Do you dare to say that this evil aura was contracted from somewhere else?"

The city lord's expression froze.

"Of course it's somewhere else. It can't be in my City Lord's Mansion, right? Or do you want to jump down and check it out? If you want to see, I'll let you see!"

"I don't want to watch. I'm not interested." Ye Linglong held Hua Shiqing's hand and said, "There is only one way to save him, and that is to forcibly extract the evil spirit and save his life and the safety of everyone in your City Lord's Mansion."

"I don't agree!"

"Let's go." Ye Linglong took Hua Shiqing's hand and led her back.

"You can't leave!" the city lord shouted.

Ye Linglong walked forward without looking back, and laughed sarcastically: "City Lord, your guards are still on the chain. With only the few people you have left, do you think you can stop us if we leave?"

After she finished speaking, Shen Lixian and Mu Xiaoran stood behind them and escorted them away.

After walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, Hua Shiqing squeezed Ye Linglong's hand with an uneasy look.

"Junior sister, this is the mission given to me by my master, I..."

However, before she could finish her words, a loud "bang" was heard from deep inside the City Lord's Mansion.
