The quarrel between Zhou Tian and the woman became louder and louder, and many people came to watch. Ye Shen took a look at the surrounding situation and immediately patted Zhou Tiande on the shoulder.
"We don't have to argue with such an uneducated girl. Look at the people around you. You'd better leave quickly and don't cause any more trouble."
Ye Shen's timid appearance made Zhou Tian look very embarrassed. He turned around and said disgustedly: "In broad daylight, this little girl made rude remarks. Can't we still argue?"
Ye Shen looked at Zhou Tian blowing his beard and glared, and said softly: "This is the City of Demon, not your academy, nor Dongchu. Have you forgotten that I told you that the city lord here is very disgusted with Qi cultivators?"
Ye Shen's eyes were rolling. After Zhou Tian heard this, he thought for a moment, looked at the little girl in front of him again, turned around and walked away without saying anything.
Ye Shen followed closely, thinking that nothing would happen, but the little girl refused to let him go and shouted loudly: "When did you two Qi cultivators appear in the city of the demon? What must you be doing in this city?"
It’s a bad thing, and you say I have no one to discipline me. Doesn’t it make sense for you to cut off people’s livelihood and drive them out of your shop?”
The little girl put her hands on her hips, like a bitch. Zhou Tian endured it while walking, but in the end he couldn't bear it anymore. He turned around and responded sharply: "Girl, if you continue to be so eloquent and maliciously frame up, don't blame me for being rude to you."
.”
Zhou Tian was already worried about Mr. Su and his elder brother Su Mohan, but to be scolded by this girl again was really unbearable.
And when he shouted like this, the people in all the surrounding shops were immediately angered, and they all stepped forward to attack the two of them.
One of the butchers with a butcher's knife in his hand stood out from the crowd, pointed the tip of the knife at Zhou Tiande's face, and shook his head: "I said you are as knowledgeable as a little girl at such a young age, you are really not ashamed.
, who doesn’t know that most of the Qi cultivators in the City of Darkness are women. You two men are walking in this street market. It’s good enough that we don’t find fault with you. But you also want to deal with the little girl selling rouge! I
Look, you are just one of those bastards from Haotian Pavilion who want to cause havoc in the City of Demons!"
The butcher's words caused a commotion, and everyone shouted in unison: "Yes, I have been watching them all day, sneaking around, they are the beasts from Haotian Pavilion, they are the city lord who they ask us to pay tribute to every year.
My husband died an untimely death, and now he still dares to be so arrogant in the city of demons. I am really tired of living!"
"Big guys, let's go together. Even if we can't defeat them, we still have to vent our anger for these years of oppression!"
After saying that, everyone held various things in their hands and approached Zhou Tian and the others fiercely.
Zhou Tian had never experienced such humiliation and grievance. Looking at these helpless people, Zhou Tian and Ye Shen kept retreating, but they were surrounded by people, forcing the two of them to retreat!
"Zhou Tian, I just told you not to cause trouble everywhere. That girl is obviously deliberately instigating it, so you should take the initiative to provoke her!"
Ye Shen complained.
Zhou Tian turned his head and looked at him in disbelief, and said sternly: "If it weren't for you being kicked over by her, I would have gone forward to argue with her. You are still doing this in hindsight. It's true that the Ye family doesn't take you seriously.
!”
"you!"
Ye Shen pouted and looked around. There were more and more people. He was sweating and didn't know what to do. At this time, Zhou Tian accidentally saw the girl behind the crowd and actually let out a strange smile.
.
Zhou Tian poked Ye Shen and whispered: "Look at that girl, something doesn't seem right. She was able to kick you over just now, so I had doubts. If she hadn't been arguing with me, I would have noticed something.
Clues are coming."
Ye Shen glanced at it: "Let's think about how to solve the current trouble first. Look at these people, with their murderous eyes, what should we do? Do we really have to take action?"
Zhou Tian didn't know what to do. The moment he saw that the people at the innermost level were about to take action, a deep and loud voice came from behind the crowd.
"Stop it all! The city lord is here!"
As soon as the people heard that he was the city lord, they immediately dispersed and bowed their heads in salute.
Zhou Tian and the others were just about to hold their heads with their hands and wait for these people to take action. When they saw that they dispersed, they breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, I almost got beaten by these people..."
Ye Shen kept panting and was frightened half to death by the situation just now.
Zhou Tian took a closer look and saw a woman carrying two giant axes on her back, slowly walking toward them. Zhou Tian touched Ye Shen with her elbow.
"Is this person the city lord?"
Ye Shen rubbed his eyes and looked carefully: "Yes, this woman is the lord of the City of Demons. How come she is here? Don't talk nonsense later, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Zhou Tian didn't say anything, but stared straight ahead.
"Who are you? Why did you appear in my city? I heard that you just came from Lord Wang's house?"
After Zhou Tian heard this, he thought to himself that this person really didn't know what was going on outside the city.
"Oh, City Lord, my name is Zhou Tian, and I do know Lord Wang." Zhou Tian changed his attitude and immediately became humble.
When Ye Shen saw this, he hurriedly saluted.
The city lord waved his hand, letting the people on both sides retreat sparsely, and then walked lightly in front of Zhou Tian.
Just now, because of the distance, Zhou Tian could not see the woman's face clearly. When he looked again, although there were two axes behind her, her fair cheeks, slender figure, and the fragrance emanating from her body,
She was so beautiful that Zhou Tian couldn't help but feel hot on his face, and slowly lowered his head, not daring to look directly.
"Why do you come to my city? Why do you want to embarrass a little girl?" The city lord said and asked her attendants to bring the little girl over.
When Zhou Tian heard this, his ears twitched. Just when he was about to raise his head to speak, Ye Shen got there first.
"Ah, hello, City Lord, we are just distant relatives of Lord Wang. It was Lord Wang who asked us to come here this time, and this girl may be some misunderstanding between us, some misunderstanding..."
When Zhou Tian heard Ye Shen's defense, he was really outrageous.
"Are you relatives of Louzhu Wang, or did he ask you to come here? Or is it a misunderstanding? Haha! I have seen a lot of people making up lies in this world. This is the first time I have heard of such incoherent words like yours! Someone, please tell me
I tied these two people up and took them to prison!"
The city lord gave the order, and the two female attendants around him stepped forward to tie them up.
"Wait!"
Zhou Tian looked at Ye Shen with a look of disgust: "Look what you are talking about?"
The city lord looked at Zhou Tian with contempt, and slowly put his hands behind his back: "What? What else do you want to say?"
Zhou Tian looked at the postures of the city lord and the people behind her. If she didn't tell the truth, it seemed that she would have to enter the prison. Rather than sit back and wait for death, she might as well tell her.
"Lord City Lord, the person next to me is Ye Shen, the third son of the Ye family. I am a disciple of the Dongchu Imperial City Academy. The two of us..."
Zhou Tiangang was about to continue the introduction. When the city lord heard the word academy, he quickly raised his hand: "You said you are a disciple of the academy? Do you have any evidence?"
Zhou Tian thought of Xu Qingnian's instructions when he left the academy, and he should have a token of the academy with him, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find it. He said with some embarrassment: "I originally had a token, but I didn't know where I put it for a while? Maybe it was lost.
Now, we..."
Zhou Tian wanted to explain, but the little girl said: "Oh, return the academy disciples and the city lord, I think they are sent by Haotian Pavilion!"
The city lord glanced at Zhou Tian with his peripheral vision, and then said to the girl: "Sir, speak up, you are a girl, please leave me!"
"Yes! But!"
The little girl seemed to be very honest and kept chirping in the city lord's ear. The city lord frowned and slapped him in return. The sound of the slap was so loud that even the attendants around him were so frightened that they bowed down.
Bury your head.
"Mom! You! Humph~"
The little girl was greatly wronged, tears fell down her face, she turned around and ran behind her.
When the attendant saw it, he quickly shouted: "Little princess, little princess!"
The city lord roared angrily: "Leave her alone! She really has no discipline. I'm very busy on weekdays, so she gets used to it! Just let her go wherever she wants!"
This series of actions by the city lord really shocked Ye Shen and Zhou Tian. They did not expect that the little girl was the daughter of the city lord.
Beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Ye Shen's forehead, and his legs kept shaking.
"It's over this time, it's over this time, I just say don't cause trouble!"
After hearing this, Zhou Tian felt that something was wrong and gradually lowered his head.
Seeing them like this, one of the attendants said mockingly: "What? Just now, we humiliated our little princess in the market. Now that we know her identity, how can she become so cowardly? She also said that she is a disciple of the academy.
Are the academy disciples just so timid and afraid of getting into trouble?"
When Zhou Tian heard these words, he felt like a thorn in his back or a lump in his throat.
His fists were clenched, but in order to fulfill Wang Xiaoshi's instructions, he did not dare to take any further action.
"Okay!"
The city lord waved his hand and asked the attendants to step back, then walked closer to Zhou Tian: "Qi King Realm? At such a young age, the realm is so high. Just now, the people swarmed forward. Not only did they not fight back, but they were willing to be beaten.
It is enough to prove that you are not from Haotian Pavilion, but you said that you are a disciple of the academy, and there is no evidence, how can you make me believe you!"
Ye Shen was so nervous that he couldn't speak. He kept looking down at Zhou Tian with his peripheral vision.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward for a time. The city lord and the attendants kept staring at Zhou Tian, and neither of them said a word for a while.
Suddenly Zhou Tian raised his head, held his chest high and his eyes showed a strange color. Ye Shen shivered when he saw it. He didn't know what he was going to do. His legs became softer and he almost sat down on the ground.
Afterwards, Zhou Tian read out the crusade. After hearing this, Ye Shen's eyes widened and he gradually raised his head.
After hearing this, the city lord and his attendants felt their hearts tighten. The city lord quickly put his hands back in front of him and said seriously: "Are you really a disciple of the academy, the one who is the top of all sects? The one who drafted the crusade?"
Zhou Tian had an idea and came up with this method. Although the whole world knew about this crusade, he might be the only one who could memorize it. Even if there were still people who could memorize it, he was the only one who exuded the momentum when reading it aloud.
Ye Shen curled his lips and smiled: "I didn't expect you to be quite smart. You can think of such a solution."
Zhou Tian saw that the attitude of the city lord had changed a lot, so he hurriedly put his hands in front of him and saluted again: "Yes, I have offended the little princess just now, please forgive me, city lord!"
After hearing this, the city lord smiled: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. My daughter is still young and naturally doesn't understand some rules. Since she is a disciple of the academy, then come back with me!"
Afterwards, Zhou Tian and the others followed closely behind the city lord and his party and walked slowly.
Later I found out that the city lord came to the market today just to look for her daughter. Her daughter was too naughty and didn't like to stay peacefully in the house. She always wanted to go out and play.
It was the status of the little princess that brought a lot of trouble to the city lord.
After Zhou Tian arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he was surprised to find that the City Lord's Mansion was not even one-tenth the size of the Ye family. Not only was the mansion small, but everything was very plain, mostly black and white, and lacking a lot of colors.
There are very few maids in the house, and even the cleaning is done by female attendants armed with swords.
After Ye Shen looked at it, a chill ran down his back.
"Zhou Tian, there is a lot of murderous intent in this mansion!"
"Don't talk nonsense. The city lord is the lord of a city. This arrangement is reasonable and reasonable. How can there be any murderous intention?" Zhou Tian looked at the surrounding arrangements and nodded, seeming to like everything.
They followed the city lord to the main hall. The city lord sat on the main seat and observed for a long time and then smiled and said: "The disciples of the academy are indeed extraordinary. Just observing your realm, I have already guessed that you are not an ordinary person."
Ye Shen heard what she said and muttered in a low voice: "Tsk, you just wanted to tie us up!"
Zhou Tian hurriedly patted his thigh with his hand: "What did you say?"
"Haha, it doesn't matter! I wanted to tie you up just now because you didn't have any explanation. I have been in the city all year round and don't know anything about the things outside the city. I only know a little bit about it because Wang Xiaoshi delivered some news."
"But I still know about the academy. I was lucky enough to meet my husband when he was still alive."
After Zhou Tian and the others exchanged a few words, the city lord's attitude suddenly became serious.
"What's the big deal when you come to the City of Demon this time? Do you need my help?" The city lord suddenly asked, and Ye Shen spoke frankly.
"Oh, Lord City Lord, Zhou Tian and I actually want to come to the City of Demons to visit the ghost market here, but we know that if we enter the ghost market, we must obtain the City Lord's permission, so when we asked for directions just now, we talked to Xiaojun
The Lord got into some trouble."
Hearing about the ghost market, the attendants on both sides of the main hall door suddenly asked in confusion.
"Ghost market? The ghost market in the City of Demon is nothing more than selling some stone well items. One of you is the third son of the Ye family and the other is a disciple of the academy. Why are you so interested in the ghost market?"
"this...."
Ye Shen didn't know how to answer for a moment. He didn't know if it would be appropriate to tell the city lord Wang Xiaoshi's instructions, so he looked at Zhou Tian beside him.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. Since you want to enter the ghost market, you must obey the rules of our Demon City."
"Ordinary people who want to enter the ghost market can just state their reasons. If the reason is sufficient, of course I will give them the token. But if Qi cultivators want to enter the ghost market, it goes without saying their reasons. As long as they can win the competition, they will also give you the token!
"
When Zhou Tian heard what the city lord said, his brows tightened: "A martial arts competition...?"
