Chapter 060: Master is Fierce to Me

Shen Wuyan: "..." Let him die. It's better to be hit by a car than to be killed by Xiao Jing here.

Xiao Jing's eyes were filled with smiles, "Master is really good at deceiving people."

I'm so angry.

Shen Wuyan secretly swore to himself: If I get fooled again next time, I will be a dog.

"However," Xiao Jing's joking tone suddenly changed, and his tone suddenly became ambiguous: "Master, the earrings look really good on you. I like them very much."

Shen Wuyan was so angry that he didn't want to talk anymore.

Xiao Jing asked, "Master, why don't you say anything?"

Shen Wuyan gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up."

Xiao Jing immediately looked aggrieved: "Master is mean to me."

Shen Wuyan: "..." Someone come and take this drama queen away.

Perhaps the God heard Shen Wuyan’s cry, because at this moment, the steward of the City Lord’s Mansion arrived.

Shen Wuyan felt that the butler was simply the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saves people from suffering and disasters, and was specifically responsible for saving him from water and fire.

The butler came up to them and bowed to Shen Wuyan, "Immortal Venerable." Xiao Jing didn't like the butler who suddenly appeared, and he directly turned his face to him. When Xiao Jing was unhappy, Shen Wuyan was happy.

Shen Wuyan asked politely, "No need to be so polite, butler. Is this something the city lord wants to tell you?"

"Please come with me, Immortal Master. The head of Danyang Sect said he has something to ask you."

In fact, what the butler said was a euphemism. The leader of the Danyang Sect had just lost his son, and he had a very bad temper. Everyone he saw looked like his enemy who had murdered his son. Both his tone and attitude were extremely bad.

Xiao Jing snorted coldly, "Since you have something to ask, why don't you come in person?"

Chief Steward: “Uh…”

Xiao Jing said coldly, "I won't go."

The chief steward looked at Shen Wuyan in embarrassment. He didn't understand whether this was what Shen Wuyan meant. After all, sometimes big shots like them were so proud of their status that they liked to let their disciples convey their ideas when it came to things that were difficult to do.

Shen Wuyan saw that the chief steward was in a dilemma and said, "Don't listen to him. Let's go now. Please lead the way."

The chief steward was obviously relieved, but at the same time he felt the same curiosity as the city lord: why would the Immortal Lord be so indulgent towards a disciple?

Xiao Jing's expression turned ugly in an instant. He felt that Shen Wuyan didn't care about his status.

Lingyun Sect is the world's number one sect for cultivating immortals, with disciples all over the world. As an elder enforcing the law in Lingyun Sect, he is equivalent to a royal relative in the human world. If the old emperor had not come, no one would have the qualifications to ask him to go.

Not to mention a small leader of the Danyang Sect.

Who is he?

What Shen Wuyan was thinking was: After all, they were still guests in the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord had just generously allowed him to read a rare medical book, so he couldn't afford to lose face for the City Lord.

What's more, the Danyang Gate incident was caused by them themselves.

Shen Wuyan left with the chief steward. Although Xiao Jing was unhappy, he still followed.

*****

The reception hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

After Shen Wuyan sat down, he looked at the city lord and asked, "Why did the city lord come to see Wuyan?"

The city lord looked at the Danyang Gate city lord with dissatisfaction, then smiled and said to Shen Wuyan:

"Thank you for making this trip, Immortal Venerable. The head of Danyang Sect has something to ask you."

"Oh," Shen Wuyan looked at the head of the Danyang Sect opposite him. Although he knew what was going on, he still pretended to be surprised. "I wonder what the head of the Danyang Sect wants to ask you?"

On his way here, the leader of Danyang Sect heard from his disciples what happened at the auction. Although there was a conflict between Elder Tang of Yao Sect and his son, the conflict was relatively minor.

And he was the first to leave. According to the time when Elder Tang returned to Yaomen, he should not have had time to turn back and steal the Heart Demon's blood.

But it was different for Master Shen Wuyan and his disciple. They had the biggest conflict with his son at the auction, and they lived in the city so it was convenient for them to commute. They both had high levels of cultivation, and they came and went without a trace, so it was not easy to alarm people.

So he felt that Master Shen Wuyan and his apprentice were the most suspicious.

When he thought that the one who died was the one with the highest talent in alchemy among his many sons, the head of Danyang Sect became furious and his expression became particularly ferocious.

The bloodshot eyes were filled with anger, and he asked aggressively, "May I ask where the Immortal Venerable was last night?"

The tone was as if he was interrogating Shen Wuyan as a criminal, and Xiao Jing's expression instantly turned cold.

After all, it was Xiao Jing who killed the young master of the Danyang Sect. As Xiao Jing's guardian and master, Shen Wuyan felt somewhat guilty, but he really couldn't hand Xiao Jing over.

Therefore, facing the aggressiveness of the Danyang Sect Leader, Shen Wuyan could only try his best to be tolerant.

He replied, "Of course it is the guest room. I wonder what the Danyang Sect Leader meant by asking this?"

"What do you mean?" The head of Danyang Sect said angrily, "My son was brutally murdered outside the city of Wuye last night. Does the Immortal Lord know about this?"

Shen Wuyan showed a slightly surprised look, and then said sympathetically: "Master Danyang, I express my condolences."

"The Heart Demon Blood in his body disappeared. I heard that you deliberately raised the auction price yesterday to compete with my son for the Heart Demon Blood. So, did you covet the Heart Demon Blood and deliberately kill him and take away the Heart Demon Blood?"

Although Shen Wuyan was panicking in his heart, his expression was stern and his eyes were cold. "I understand the feelings of the head of Danyang Sect, but I ask the head of Danyang Sect to be careful with your words and not to speak nonsense. Besides, it was not us who deliberately raised the auction price yesterday, but your son. The city lord can testify to this matter."

The city lord smiled and said, "Indeed. Your son deliberately raised the auction price."

The head of the Danyang Sect snorted and pressed on, "Then let me ask you, were you really at the inn last night? Who can prove it?"

In the world of demons, if you are killed, then you are killed. If you dare to come and seek justice, there is only one word: death.

Xiao Jing said sarcastically with a defiant look: "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to my master like that? My master is upright and honest, why does he need anyone to prove his integrity?"

The city lord silently gave Xiao Jing a thumbs up in his heart. Although it was very pitiful that the leader of the Danyang Sect lost his son, he was not the one who killed his son. How could the leader of the Danyang Sect put on a displeased face towards him, the lord of a city?

If he hadn't taken into consideration that he hadn't yet recovered the 10 million spirit stones he had lent out, and that the young master of Danyang was indeed killed outside the outskirts of Wuye City, he would have definitely driven the people out long ago.

Now seeing that the unruly Xiao Jing was so arrogant, it was like he was venting his anger.

The city lord felt relieved, so he took the tea and drank it, pretending that he didn't hear anything and didn't intend to interfere.

The Danyang Sect Leader was already extremely sad and angry because he had lost his most proud son, and he was in a very bad mood. Now he was being rudely scolded by a little disciple.

This was like pouring kerosene into a fire. The head of Danyang Sect was instantly furious. He slapped the chair and scolded: "How dare you, a mere disciple, speak so arrogantly here. You don't know the etiquette of respect and inferiority. Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your master."

Before he finished speaking, an invisible spiritual power rushed towards Xiao Jing.

Shen Wuyan dropped the teacup in his hand with a clang, and a spiritual power more powerful than before burst out.
