2. City Lord

Chen Hao's eyes fluttered, and he had a more plan in his heart. Although he agreed to visit the Qianhua City Lord with the disciple of the Tianling Sect in front of him, if the situation was wrong, he would not be foolishly fighting there. The sky fell down and the tall man was overwhelmed. Lin Haiyue's cultivation was deeper than him, and he could not be considered timid and incompetent when he retreated bravely. Moreover, there was no deep friendship between the two. The so-called "meeting and fate" was pure and ethereal, and it should not be true.

I raised my chopsticks and tasted a delicate dish placed on the table. I praised it. The dish was smooth and refreshing when I held it in my mouth. The lips and teeth left a fragrance, and the aftertaste was endless. I couldn't help but have a big appetite and I didn't speak anymore.

After drinking and eating, the cup and plate were in a mess, Chen Hao stretched comfortably and patted his slightly bulging belly. When he saw Lin Haiyue's eyes strange, he couldn't help but smile awkwardly, muttering in his heart, disciples of famous sects will pay attention to bad rules and cannot even lose their manners when they eat.

When he walked to the door, he pulled a long rope hanging on one side. When the waiter went out, he told one end of the rope to connect a bell. As long as he pulled one end of the rope, the part that would jingle, and he would naturally run upstairs to wait for instructions.

This clever design made Chen Hao praise it. Although it is simple, the simpler it is often more extraordinary. You need a delicate heart to think of it.

Soon, the door creaked and opened, revealing the thin figure of the waiter. He had a flattering smile on his face and threw himself straight towards Lin Haiyue who was still sitting in the seat. It was so generous that the other party had just taken action. The value of the two jade pendants was comparable to the entire tavern. If he hadn't been afraid of being a treasure, he would have packed up his bags and left to enjoy his happiness. How could he still use it as a inferior person called by others?

Chen Hao coughed twice, and finally turned the other party's attention. He frowned and ordered: "Go and make two basins of hot water. We will wipe our faces after we finish our meal."

The waiter responded, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He obviously felt that he was attentive, but Lin Haiyue ignored him and turned around and ran downstairs reluctantly.

"The snake swallows the elephant in a bad mood. This kid is too greedy. He has already obtained two treasures and wants to ask for it." Chen Hao shook his head and sighed.

"He can't get it." Lin Haiyue suddenly said coldly.

"What?" Chen Hao looked up at the other party in confusion, wondering what profound meaning was contained in these words.

Lin Haiyue slowly put down the bowls and chopsticks, with joking gazes flashing in his eyes, and he slowly spoke, "He can't get any treasure, because my treasure has never given him."

"How could it be... I clearly saw it..." Chen Hao said naughtyly.

"I didn't expect that even Brother Chen had hidden it." A hint of compassion flashed in Lin Haiyue's eyes and said, "The two high-quality spiritual jades you saw were actually faked out of the underworld. They looked extraordinary on the surface, but in fact they were just inferior oil green, ordinary people were only a little rounder than bluestone."

"So that's it." Chen Hao was amazed, thinking that the heritage of these famous sects is indeed rich, and there is such a way to replace the pillars. He couldn't help but scream for the waiter. If the energy on the two jade pendants dissipated and revealed his true body, this person would probably have to beat his chest and stamp his feet and burst into tears. Of course, if he had enough luck to exchange the jade pendant for silver first, he would have made a fortune and would have no worries about food and clothing from now on.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, the waiter walked up with a servant. The copper basin in his hand was slowly steaming. Both of them were breathing slightly, and a faint bead of sweat oozing from their foreheads.

Chen Hao sighed and said, "Let go, we can wash and don't have to serve you anymore."

He thought about it, took out two silver horns from his arms and handed them over. The new servant naturally thanked him very much, but the waiter showed a hint of contempt in his eyes. Chen Hao touched the bridge of his nose with a laugh and cry, and said in his heart, I was kind enough to give it to you because I saw you busy but couldn't get the reward. Who knew you thought it was too little.

Of course, the silver I had far less than the appearance of the two jade pendants before, but I also wanted you to get the two jade pendants. Even if the silver I handed over, I would pick some of them from the Tibetan silver porcelain jar hidden underground in Lin Yufang's backyard. I had to save some flowers. It was not easy to reward you with two pieces, so don't be too satisfied.

Everything was done, Chen Hao and Lin Haiyue walked down the stairs of the tavern together, and the noise and hustle and bustle were restored here, but soon someone recognized them and secretly gave a few glances. The noise gradually calmed down, and everyone's faces were filled with a hint of awe.

Chen Hao saw a look of complacency flashing in Lin Haiyue's eyes and shook his head secretly. No matter where he went, he didn't like this kind of gaze that was staring. Perhaps this is his nature. He didn't want to stand at the front desk as a dazzling star, and even would rather walk in the night in the brocade, keep everything in his heart, and it would be enough to share it with one or two confidants.

After leaving the tavern, it was already afternoon. The scorching sun was scorching the entire earth, and the few traces of shade brought out from the tavern were dispelled in an instant. Fortunately, neither of them was ordinary people. They secretly used all their energy to easily isolate the heat. Unlike the vendors who were hoarsely selling on both sides of the street, they were already soaked in a water tank, with their eyes full of fatigue, but they had to do so in order to make a living.

I found a passerby and asked about the location of the Qingcheng Lord's Office. Chen Hao and Lin Haiyue walked to a spacious avenue. The ground here was paved with three feet long blue bricks, and it was spotlessly cleaned. No vendors on both sides dared to place the stalls here. Only the green willow trees hung down their silk ribbons listlessly, which made the whole road look a little deserted for a moment.

Two huge stone lions squat quietly on the side of the street. Behind the stone lion are two mahogany doors, with dense copper nails emitting golden light. The door is open, and a guard wearing green armor stands on it. The sword on his waist reveals cold light from time to time. A huge plaque is hung above the gate, with several large gold-plated characters engraved on it - Yunfu.

It turned out that the lord of Qianhua City was surnamed Yun. Chen Hao nodded secretly, paused, and watched Lin Haiyue beside him walk slowly up.

Lin Haiyue flipped his hand and took out a small red jade pendant and handed it forward. It seemed that he wanted to use the same trick again. Unfortunately, the guard could not recognize the mortal fetus with naked eyes. Naturally, he couldn't wait to accept it. Another guard also made a light cough. Lin Haiyue's spiritual meeting and gave it the same "big gift".

The so-called King of Hell is easy to mess with ghosts, and having money can make ghosts push them. These two guards are naturally not immune to the customs. After accepting Lin Haiyue’s generous gift, one person hurriedly sent to the mansion to send a message. After a while, he ran out of breath and told Lord Yun that he was waiting for the two of them to go. The man wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and obviously had done his best. But he didn’t know if the essence of the jade pendant he received would be so angry that he would smoke from his seven orifices. However, at that time, the two of them were no longer sure where they were, and even with extraordinary means, the two guards were not afraid of coming to the door.

But Chen Hao secretly laughed in his heart that the behavior of this disciple of the Tianling Sect was a bit unethical and did not look as handsome as his appearance.

Walking through a curved bridge, a girl in light blue clothes had been waiting for a long time in front of her. When she saw Chen Hao and the others bowed and took them to a loft with an octagonal eaves. Next to it was a small green pool, with red lotus flowers blooming in the pool.

The girl knocked on the door gently, and a clear and gentle voice came from inside: "Please come in!"

It turned out to be a woman? Chen Hao and the other two looked at each other, with a little confused in their eyes. Could it be that the Lord of Yun City, Qianhua City, was actually a woman?

Restrained this thought, and as the servant slowly entered the attic, he would soon get the answer to what he thought about.

There are several high-legged gold-painted stools in the corner of the attic. The pots on it are exuding a strong green color, adding endless vitality to the entire attic. A few star anise hanging above the attic, wrapped in light yellow silk cloth, depicting some freehand landscapes and elegant poems.

On the other end of the attic is a large table about meter, with a few feet of white rice paper spread out on it. A woman in white clothes holds a brush in her hand, lowering her head and writing something quickly. Her hair hanging down on her forehead, trembling gently as she writes.

"Mr. Yun, the two of them have been brought here, and Xiaozhu has left."

"Yes." The woman responded, waved her hand, but she didn't mean to raise her head. Instead, her subordinates continued to write, as if they were dealing with something important.

The girl who asked Xiaozhu to bow and retreated. Before leaving, she brought up the attic door, leaving only Chen Hao and the other two looking at each other, with a little embarrassed expression.

The woman's writing was getting more and more urgent, but in the end it was so fast that the naked eye could not see clearly. It was shocking. If this speed was used to draw a sword, I would probably be a top swordsman. The Lord Yun City was indeed carrying martial arts. Perhaps what she showed in front of her was just the tip of her iceberg.

The woman in white suddenly shouted lightly, slapped her hand, threw the green hair aside, and fell into the pen holder at a corner of the table.

She slowly raised her head, revealing a vibrant face, pretty nose and thin eyebrows, slightly frowning on her forehead, and bright eyes. She was a rare woman.

"What are you two looking for me?" She asked lightly, with a hint of majesty in her tone.
