The City Lord's Mansion is located in the southeast corner of the city and is renovated from the Taoling Zhenren Jie Temple. Although it has been renovated and expanded several times, the scale is still small compared to the luxury houses in the city.

When I entered the courtyard, I saw heavy attics piled up in a layer of eaves. The color of mandarin tiles and glass changes under the sunlight, as if colorful smoke is produced. Orchids and orchids hide the uneven roads. I didn’t see the pipa and the performer, but I could hear the hanging tune.

Jing Ning, who is used to listening to popular music, doesn’t know how to appreciate the classical pipa music, but only feels the crackling noise.

"What kind of song can I play?" she asked.

"The Song of Nishang. It's a bit standard, but it's a bit boring than the technique of the Emoticon Girl in Lianyue Pavilion." As a regular visitor to the brothel, Zhong Ze made a judgment with ease.

"I know a lot about these things. Do you know where the original site of the Anhu built by Zhenren Ling? Where is the treasure in the mansion hidden?" Jing Ning guessed that since the entire mansion was expanded from Anhu, the original building is likely to become the core of the cunning mansion today.

Zhong Ze, an ignorant playboy, can actually answer.

"I don't know where the baby is hidden, but you can find the old residence of Taoling Zhenren up the pool water, which has been converted into a hall." He pointed to the stream in the courtyard and then responded to Jing Ning's question, adding, "It is the usual place for Lord Xiao to practice, and you can't enter without permission!"

"Do you think the regulations can stop me?" Jing Ning said without hesitation.

I am just a little snake that can go wherever I want. The division of the human race has nothing to do with snakes.

She sniffed left and right to determine the distribution of guards around her.

Using your own means, finding a place where no one is around to turn into a snake is the safest way to sneak in.

However, the city lord's mansion has a large number of buildings and many eyes. There is no place to remove clothes outside without exposing them. Besides, it disappeared under the nose, so the servant who led the way could immediately notice that there were fewer people.

She observed left and right that there was a familiar taste in the numerous human smells in the air, and Jing Ning couldn't grasp it for a while.

She decided to take a step by step and find a chance to be alone in the room later. However, if the original shape appears in broad daylight and is easily exposed, then find an indoor place.

The two followed the servants through the bridge and soon entered the pavilion where the pipa was playing.

During these days, Xiao Fengming, the daughter of the Xiao City Lord's family, who practiced Taoist temples, was idle at home because she did not need to participate in complicated matters. She invited young heroes in the city to recite poems and draw tactics every day.

Zhong Ze’s uncle Tongyuan was among the crowd listening to the song.

Zhong Ze expressed his identity to Xiao Qianjin, the chairman of the hall, and bowed to the table. He was about to enter the table, but the girl wearing beads and looking at the forehead showed dissatisfaction.

Mr. Zhong San is already a bad reputation. He reluctantly agreed to let him join the banquet because of his affection. However, he never thought that this man led a charming woman to the banquet without any concealment. Although Jing Ning's gorgeous appearance deliberately chose a dress to cover it, it was still difficult to get the maid and maid.

Before she could speak, there were already customers who were good at observing their expressions and expressions, "I had heard about the many romantic affairs of the third young master of the Zhong family, but I thought it was an exaggeration, but I never thought that even when I went out, there would be a maid who was like a flower and a jade-like maid who served her. Du was envious!"

"But Miss Xiao's banquet was invited to all warriors, monks, princes and nobles. It is probably not appropriate to bring this low-ranking maid to participate."

"Indeed, this is not a flower party for escorting prostitutes and having a banquet..."

...

Your whole family is a maid. Jing Ning cursed inwardly and realized that this was an opportunity to stay away from the eyeliner. She quickly bent down and bowed, "I will leave now."

She was very careful and kept the sarcastic appearances of the two people in her heart, and then she left the attic without looking back. She was about to find a hidden land, but she saw someone rushing to chase after her.

Jing Ning finally knew where the familiar smell came from.

The visitor was Jing Hong, the Taoist priest of Qingyang Temple who had been separated for two days.

This guy lived a comfortable life. He wore a green robe and a jade hairpin on his head. His lips and white teeth looked like a Taoist disciple. He hadn't seen him for a few days and he had come to the banquet for the city lord's daughter.

He had no good words when he was covered in his face, "Hey, what other bad thoughts did you sneak into the city lord's mansion pretending to be a maid?"

"Don't speak verbally. I can sit upright." The snake's integrity standards are different from those of humans. After all, the body is constructed there, and I can't climb and sit upright.

"That's good, this is the city lord's mansion, and you can't have any storms." Hongjing, who is simple in nature, believed her words and immediately pleaded for the two who offended her just now. "Miss Jing, please don't hold a grudge for the two of you who were rude in the table. They are unintentional. If you want, I can ask Miss Xiao for a qualification to attend without exposing Miss Jing's cultivation."

"What's the point of participating in? I can't understand the song and can't write it. If I were a girl from the Haitian Festival, I would be interested. I haven't seen each other for a few days. You have become a guest of honor for the daughter of the City Lord Xiao. You have a great say in detail. How did you hook up with the Miss Xiao?"

"Don't talk nonsense..." Hongjing's face turned blue and white. He was about to explain, but he heard Miss Xiao's close servant go out to call him.

"Hehe, don't follow me, so that Miss Xiao misunderstands that our relationship is not good."

Jing Ning took two more steps, but Hong Jing did not really believe her words simply. However, when he said goodbye to Jing Ning that day, he had the intention of not wanting to get involved with this perverse female cultivator, and he did not have the position of meddling in other people's business at this time.

He was afraid. If he had been involved in Jing Ning, a mysterious woman full of danger, he would probably not be able to escape safely in the future.

Looking at the woman's slim back disappearing from the corner, she only secretly prayed to the city lord's mansion not to cause trouble.

...

After leaving the pavilion, Jing Ning broke away from the guards according to the already well-developed route. At the moment when the guards turned their heads, they waited for an opportunity to push the door to the courtyard where there was no human atmosphere at hand and then entered.

But it is a woman's boudoir. The furnishings in the house are simple but elegant. The tables, chairs, beds, stools and dressing tables are all in ordinary styles, but they can be seen to be exquisitely crafted. The mattress and quilt are embroidered with mandarin ducks and peonies, which are no different from ordinary people's houses, but the material is sniffed with ice silk gooseberry.

It is neither the residence of the servant, nor the dress he likes to be a daughter of the Xiao family. The owner should be one of the city lord's wife.

Without careful consideration of the owner's identity, Jing Ning pulled open the wardrobe, shed his snake body and buried his robe deep in many clothes. In an instant, a thin blue and black snake climbed to the top of the beam and pillar.

Wandering on the glazed green tiles, jumping among the black shadows of the eaves, the blue and black patterns of brocade snakes have become the most successful protective color.

The city lord's mansion occupied not much land. After passing seven or eight houses, the flying eaves connected in front of the Jinshe suddenly disappeared.
