After the city lord sent Zhao Qingyu to Meng Furong's dream-building residence, he still felt unsure. He spent two days handling the matters at hand and paid a visit in person.
There were many people outside Zhumeng Residence. They were all male cultivators who came to seek a meeting. They were all fooled by the concierge invited by Tang Yue. No one dared to make any mistakes. After all, the other party was a fusion-stage cultivator, and he had offended her.
But he's not here to pick up bargains, he's here to risk his life.
When the city lord got off the carriage, he felt angry when he saw these people. He immediately shouted, "What are you doing around the house? Disperse quickly."
Seeing that it was the city lord who spoke, the male cultivators did not dare to disobey, so they had no choice but to leave. Only a few disciples from famous families were not willing to do so and still stayed nearby to watch the situation here.
Zhao Tianming went to knock on the door. The concierge knew him, so he called inside. Sure enough, after a while, a woman came out to lead the city lord to the house.
He walked into the Dream Building Villa with the envious eyes of young men, thinking to himself, "Are you worthy?"
He was completely unaware that his inner thoughts had changed from giving it a try to winning it.
"I wonder if Furong can get used to living outside the city. Things here are not as complete as the city lord's mansion. You will suffer." The city lord also handed over the meeting gifts he brought, which were all valuable fairy fruits.
Tang Yue just felt it was funny in her heart. Zhumeng Xiaoju was a little smaller. Although it was not as good as the old palace, it was still in very good condition and could not be bought by ordinary cultivators.
"Thank you City Lord for your concern. Furong is very used to living here and there is nothing wrong with it." She followed the City Lord's title.
"That's good. If you need anything, just tell me Qingyu and I'll get you some." He turned to look at Qingyu, and she was actually sitting beside her, as if she had been eating here with Meng Furong before.
Snacks and small talk.
He couldn't help but frown, he sent Zhao Qingyu here to serve Meng Furong, but she was actually sitting here with her master, having tea together, did she really think of herself as the lady of the city lord's palace?
Zhao Tianming was very unhappy. He felt that he was an affectionate person, but he had an accident because of Zhao Qingyu's mother's plot. His wife was so sad about the incident that she became ill and died in childbirth. He vowed not to let this happen.
He was kind to mother and son, and after torturing Zhao Qingyu's mother away, he tortured this daughter again.
In fact, later on, Zhao Tianming didn't even remember his late wife's appearance, but every time he saw Zhao Qingyu, he felt itchy with hatred and felt that he couldn't make her feel comfortable.
Tang Yue was worried that he would say something bad again and hurt Zhao Qingyu, so he hurriedly said: "Miss Zhao is an interesting person. We have had a lot of fun chatting with me these days, and we even made an appointment to go to the lake."
"Oh, really? That's really her honor." Zhao Tianming didn't want to expose his dark side to Meng Furong. Since she likes it, let Zhao Qingyu accompany him.
At the same time, she felt that Furong was really a kind-hearted woman, so she would definitely be able to get along well with Aoxue.
Tang Yue took the initiative and asked, "Has the city lord arranged the compensation for the more than a thousand people?"
"Ever since I listened to Furong's reminder, I felt deeply guilty, restless, and couldn't sleep at night, so I distributed the compensation to everyone without sleep, but I couldn't tell them the truth, because I didn't do things well and didn't take into account the people in the forest.
The sudden appearance of the fire phoenix is the reason. Please forgive me Furong, Xuanjian City needs to worry about its reputation. "
Tang Yue rolled her eyes in her heart. You know you have to worry about your reputation, so why do you do such a thing? But she couldn't express her true thoughts.
"I understand the concerns of the city lord, and I don't want Xuanjian City to be affected by this incident, and let innocent monks bear a bad reputation that does not belong to them. By the way, what happened to the monk who induced the city lord to do sinister things?
?”
"Thank you Furong for being considerate of me. After the incident failed, the monk only said one sentence and left in a hurry. He was probably afraid that I or Fellow Daoist Wu and Fellow Daoist War would cause trouble for him. At that time, I was panicked and couldn't
I thought I would have stopped such evil ways earlier and eliminated harm to the people, but now that I think about it, it is too late to regret it."
In fact, he was the one who asked Kong Yingzong to leave. The other party was full of tricks. When he was cornered, he would probably try to find ways to escape from him, thinking it was a way out.
"It's a pity that after the evil path leaves, it will unknowingly harm the lives of many people." Tang Yue sighed softly, with sadness in his application.
Zhao Tianming felt a pain in his heart. Such a beautiful woman should smile more. How could that man bear to see her sad eyes?
Immediately, his mind became hot and he promised: "Don't worry Furong, I will send people to trace the traces of this evil way. Xuanjian City will definitely do its best to find out the evidence of his crime and make it public, and I will personally kill this person."
Tang Yue also admired Zhao Tianming's mentality. When the other party was useful, he was a best friend. When the other party was useless, he could immediately abandon Bo Meiren with a smile, completely forgetting that he himself agreed to do this.
But this is exactly the promise she wants. Regardless of whether it will be realized or not, she will agree first and then say, "In this case, I would like to thank the city lord Gao Yi. I originally wanted to search for the traces of this evil way in person in a few days, and then join forces with the heroes.
Let's kill him. If Xuanjian City can do this, it will be much faster than me doing it alone."
When the city lord heard that she was leaving, he even sent his own people to investigate. It was very possible for a monk to travel and not return for decades. Besides, Kong Yingzong was indeed a wicked sect, and he didn't want such a beauty to die.
"There is no need for Furong to go in person. Just wait for my news. Then we will go and kill him together."
"Although the city lord did something wrong, luckily no harm was caused, and now he is determined to make up for it. He can still be regarded as a benevolent and righteous person. I admire him."
"Furong is so complimentary."
Hey, she said so many disgusting words just to get the other party to help her kill Kong Yingzong. It was really a lot of effort.
Zhao Qingyu lowered his head and sat at the table, pouring tea for the two of them. He dismissed Zhao Tianming's promise in his heart. He said he would look for the person. Who knows how long it would take to find him. Anyway, he sent someone. Sister Meng made a mistake.
This person.
She remembered that Meng Furong wanted to kill the monk, and she must help Sister Meng to live up to her kindness.
After all, the city lord was busy, so he left after sitting for a while.
Zhao Qingyu looked at Meng Furong and hesitated, "Sister Meng, you can't trust this person. He is actually ruthless and unjust. Now he is just coveting your beauty."
Tang Yue asked about another thing, "Qingyu, tell me the truth, what kind of life did you live in the city lord's mansion?"
When Zhao Qingyu heard this, with tears in her eyes, she told about her mother and what they had experienced in the mansion over the years.
"If he really had no intention, he would never have had such a thing with your mother." Tang Yue frowned. Isn't this a typical example of not wanting to take responsibility and admitting that he is wrong, so he puts all the blame on others?
?
"Sister Meng thinks so too? Other people in the house who knew the facts said that mother and I deserved it. We were born to be despicable." She couldn't help it anymore, tears welled up in her eyes.
Tang Yue wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Then don't go back. Stay at Zhumeng Xiaoju. I will teach you how to practice and what you can do."
After hearing this, Zhao Qingyu was very grateful, "Thank you, Sister Meng, but I have to go back to my hometown to do some things in a few days. If I succeed, I will never be separated from my sister. If I fail, I will not be a drag on my sister.
"
Tang Yue was surprised, "Why are you going back to the City Lord's Mansion? Don't be impulsive. Your cultivation is low and you can't do anything to City Lord Zhao?"
"Sister, don't worry, I'm sure of this matter. It's not a matter of striking an egg against a stone. If I don't do this, the resentment and grievances in my heart will not be appeased, and I will not be able to achieve great success in the future, so I must do this." Zhao Qingyu said.
After facial recognition, she no longer felt that shrinking feeling. It seemed that she was not a person who was completely willing to be beaten or scolded, and she still had the power to resist in her heart.
"You can let me help you achieve this. You can't do it alone." Tang Yue really wanted to help her, but this would involve tricking the city lord, which was no less difficult than tricking Kong Yingzong.
Zhao Qingyu shook her head, "Sister, you can't help me with this matter. No one can help me. I can only do it myself."
