Looking at Li Xie, who had crossed a kilometer distance in a few steps and arrived in front of him, a meaningful smile appeared on Lin Bai's lips.
"Lord City Lord..."
Yun Bailu was deeply wary of the powerful man in Nanyicheng, and his voice trembled slightly when he saluted.
Li Xie glanced at Yun Bailu and ignored him. Then he hugged Lin Bai with a smile and said with a smile: "Little friend Lin Bai, why are you going to start a big fight in Nanyi City?"
Lin Bai put away the demon sword, cupped his fists in return, and said calmly: "Isn't this the result you want to see?"
"I wonder if this sword intention of mine can satisfy you?"
Li Xie frowned, looking surprised, not understanding what Lin Bai meant.
Lin Bai smiled and looked back at a two-story building not far from here. A young man in brocade clothes was holding a wine bottle, looking in this direction with a drunken face and a smile on his face.
Li Xie was stunned, followed Lin Bai's eyes, and recognized the young master on the second floor of the building at a glance.
Suddenly, Li Xie's expression darkened and turned ugly.
The young master hurriedly turned around and got into the building and disappeared, as if he wanted to deliberately avoid Li Xie's eyes.
Seeing the young master, Li Xie already saw many clues in his heart, so he smiled guiltily and said, "I'm really sorry, it's my fault for not being able to discipline him well."
"Yunbailu, why don't you get out?"
Li Xie scolded him sharply.
Yun Bailu clasped his fists and thanked him, then sluggishly got into the crowd and moved away from Li Xie at an extremely fast speed.
Ever since Yun Bailu appeared, Lin Bai felt that there was a vague gaze focused on him and Jiang Xuansu.
When Jiang Xuansu and Yun Baolu were having a heated argument just now, Lin Bai didn't speak, because he was looking for the origin of this sight.
Finally, Lin Bai finally found a young man on a second-floor building in the distance, who had been looking in this direction.
Although Lin Bai didn't know this young man, judging from the young man's clothes and behavior, he should be from the same family as Yun Bailu.
Lin Bai immediately understood that Yun Bailu had come to test Lin Bai and Jiang Xuansu under the influence of this young master.
However, when Lin Bai and Jiang Xuansu first arrived in Nanyicheng, not many people knew their origins. Even if they went out on the street today, they would deliberately change their appearance and walk among the crowd, rarely attracting attention.
It is not difficult for Lin Bai to think that... this young master is from the Li family of Yunling.
Because the only person who knows the identities and origins of Lin Bai and Jiang Xuansu must be the Lord of Nanyicheng.
After confirming the young master's identity, Lin Bai thought about it for a while and figured out what happened.
The Xie Yue Banquet is coming soon, and the sects and families in every state are the opponents of the Yunling Li family. Before that, if one can figure out the strength of these families and sect disciples, they will definitely have a lot of influence on the Yunling Li family.
Less benefit.
That's why there was this temptation.
After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, Lin Bai made his choice without hesitation.
Since you want to see it, let me show it to you.
Lin Bai immediately drew the demon sword, not to kill Yun Bailu, but to force Li Xie to come forward.
When Lin Bai and Jiang Xuansu came out of the city lord's mansion, they knew that Li Xie had sent people to keep a watch on them secretly. As the city lord of Nanyi City, he would never want to see the disciples of the Eternal Demon Sect causing trouble in Nanyi City.
Especially in Qizhou today, if several major sect disciples fight each other fiercely in Nanyi City, it will only make the chaos in Qizhou even more chaotic.
After Li Xie got the news, he immediately came with the warriors.
This also achieved Lin Bai's purpose, borrowing Li Xie's power to deal with Yun Bailu.
After Li Xie drove away Yun Bailu, he repeatedly apologized to Lin Bai and Jiang Xuansu.
Lin Bai and Jiang Xuansu smiled and didn't take it to heart, because Lin Bai didn't know whether the young master came to test Lin Bai on a whim, or whether he got Li Xie's order and came to test.
"How much does this hosta cost?" Lin Bai asked the vendor again.
The vendor looked at Li Xie dumbfounded, feeling regretful for a moment.
Just now, I should have sold twenty thousand Qianqiu Dan to Yun Bailu, but now, the city lord is here. If I dare to ask for a high price again, I will probably die today... The vendor secretly complained and wanted to cry without tears.
"Five thousand...five thousand Qianqiu Pills." The vendor said angrily, holding back tears.
"What? Five thousand?" Lin Bai glared, handed the jade hairpin to Li Xie and asked: "Senior Li Xie, I don't know much about jade, and I don't know how valuable this thing is. Could you please help me to take a look at this?"
The hosta is so good."
Li Xie squinted his eyes and looked suddenly gloomy.
The hawker hurriedly changed his words: "No, no, no... I remembered it wrong, I remembered it wrong... This hosta has five Qianqiu Dan... five... five..."
Li Xie's expression softened slightly and he nodded: "Five Qianqiu Pills are more reasonable."
"Since we have senior Li Xie's eyes, we can't go wrong." Lin Bai took out a few pills with the same value as Qianqiu Dan from his storage bag and completed the exchange with the vendor.
He immediately turned around and gently tied the hosta on Jiang Xuansu's head.
Jiang Xuansu's pretty face turned red with embarrassment. She wanted to push Lin Bai away because of her daughter's shyness, but she didn't want to reject Lin Bai out of the joy in her heart.
.
"Hahaha, I really envy others." Li Xie laughed, quite cheerful and free, his eyes revealed memories, and he sighed: "I think back then, I was an angry horse in bright clothes, and I was also high-spirited and accompanied by beautiful women.
But now that the land is in ruins, the beauty of the past has turned into a pink skeleton, leaving me alone in the world."
"A virtuous couple has a deep love. If I can become a Taoist couple in the future, if I receive an invitation from you, I will definitely go to the Eternal Demon Sect in person to congratulate you."
Lin Bai gave a wry smile, and after exchanging a few words with Li Xie, Li Xie returned to the city lord's mansion first on the grounds that he still had important matters.
Lin Bai and Jiang Xuansu continued to wander on the street.
…
Returning to the city lord's mansion, Li Xie walked towards the study with a gloomy expression.
"Bring that traitor back to me."
"Sir, the young master is already waiting for you in the study."
City Lord's Mansion, Study Room.
Li Xie kicked open the door and walked in angrily.
Inside, a handsome young man with a jade-like face was so frightened that he shrank his head like a quail and looked at Li Xie with horror on his face.
"Do you think Nanyicheng is not chaotic enough?"
"Do you think Qizhou is not chaotic enough?"
Li Xie walked in fiercely, his eyebrows raised in anger and his fists clenching.
"Dad... I know I'm wrong." The young man said weakly with a voice like a mosquito.
He is Li Xie's only son.
As Li Xie said just now, he was once the top genius of the Li family in Yunling. He once held the moon for nine days in high spirits, and was accompanied by beautiful women... But the tide of time has taken away many things, one of which is
Li Xie's married wife.
Li Xie is an infatuated person. After his wife died early, he did not renew the relationship and poured all his efforts into his son for the rest of his life. That is... Li Sizhu!
