Chapter 2237
by“Old Ancestor naturally understands this kind of thing.” Qin Zhaoyang smiled bitterly: “But our Qin family is rooted in Fenglin City and simply can’t stay out of it… Those powerhouses of the first- and second-tier sects who came to Fenglin City also didn’t want to live in the inn, so they turned to our local several great families. The Zhou family, the Du family, the Liang family and the Xin family have all received a lot of people, and even the City Lord’s Mansion has been occupied by the people of the Flying Saint Palace!
“Even the City Lord’s Mansion also…” Qin Yu couldn’t help covering her red lips with her hand.
Qin Zhaoyang said, “The Flying Saint Palace, after all, has a strong man in the Emperor Venerable Realm sitting in town. How can the city lord, who has the cultivation base of the second level of the Dao Source Realm, compete with such a force? In comparison, only one force has come to our Qin family, which is already considered good. As for the city lord’s mansion… tsk tsk, it’s really in a deep and hot situation.”
Qin Yu asked in confusion, “What’s going on？”
Qin Zhaoyang’s face sank, and he said, “Zhuang Pan is back！”
Qin Yu’s pretty face changed when she heard this, and she gritted her teeth and said, “That cowardly person actually has the face to come back?”
When the magic energy surrounded the city that day, everyone formed the Xuanyuan Seven-section Great Array and rushed out of the city to strengthen the seal of the magic energy in the sealed place. As a result, Zhuang Pan, that bastard, was greedy for life and afraid of death. At the critical moment, he abandoned everyone and fled, resulting in the collapse of the Xuanyuan Seven-section Great Array without being attacked.
Although at the last moment, Duan Yuanshan turned the tide and brought Qin Zhaoyang and Qin Yu back to Fenglin City, the matter of the seal was not perfect. They didn’t know what happened afterwards. They only knew that the three Emperor Venerable Realms came, and then the magic energy retreated on its own initiative.
Zhuang Pan has since disappeared without a trace.
He was originally the deputy city lord of Fenglin City, and like the Drunken Old Man, he assisted Duan Yuanshan in managing the area of tens of thousands of miles around Fenglin City. After he left, the position of deputy city lord was naturally vacant.
Duan Yuanshan had previously tried to win over Yang Kai and wanted him to fill the vacancy left by Zhuang Pan, but was politely declined by Yang Kai.
However, because of what happened last time. The Qin family, Duan Yuanshan and others all had a great opinion of Zhuang Pan. Duan Yuanshan even said publicly that if he saw this person Zhuang Pan again in the future, he would definitely kill him！
Who would have known that after a few months, this guy actually came back again. How could this not surprise Qin Yu?
Qin Zhaoyang snorted coldly and said, “Not only did he have the face to come back？ This time he came back showing off his power！”
What’s going on？” Qin Yu asked with a frown, faintly feeling that there was something hidden inside.
What else could it be？ He just defected to the Feisheng Palace！” Qin Zhaoyang sneered again and again. “A group of people from the Feisheng Palace were also led by him to the City Lord’s Mansion. The days of City Lord Duan… are probably not easy.”
Hearing this, Qin Yu was silent for a while, and it seemed that he could also imagine Duan Yuanshan’s helplessness.
Zhuang Pan has now defected to the Feisheng Palace. I’m afraid he is flaunting his power in front of him. With the background and backing of the Feisheng Palace, no matter what, Duan Yuanshan can’t do anything to him. Instead, he has to act according to his face. The previous primary and secondary have been reversed. Duan Yuanshan is probably extremely frustrated now.
And the current City Lord’s Mansion has also existed in name only.
“Every family is having a hard time now. The Zhou family, the Du family, the Liang family, and the Xin family have all been thrown into chaos. Old Xin Gaojie has come to me to pour out his grievances more than once…” Qin Zhaoyang said, sighing and shaking his head slowly.
“Then our Qin family…” Qin Yu wanted to say something but stopped.
“Temporarily okay.” Qin Zhaoyang said in a deep voice, “The sect that lives in our Qin family is called Bafangmen, which is a medium-level sect. The one who leads the team is a young man. He usually stays indoors all day and is very hardworking in cultivation. He hasn’t asked our Qin family to do anything, and the others are relatively easy to get along with.”
“That’s good.” Qin Yu’s expression relaxed when he heard this.
“Comparatively speaking, our Qin family is already pretty good.” Qin Zhaoyang smiled slightly.
Just as they were talking, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, as if a servant was running towards them in a hurry.
Qin Zhaoyang couldn’t help frowning.
A moment later, a maid’s voice came from outside the door： “Ancestor…”
The voice was trembling slightly, showing the instability of the mood.
“Yu’er, you have a good rest. Ancestor will come back soon.” Qin Zhaoyang didn’t want to disrupt Qin Yu’s mood because of trivial matters. He said gently and then turned and walked out.
“Ancestor…” Qin Yu called out from behind, “Be careful in everything.”
Qin Zhaoyang nodded slightly, walked out of the door, closed the door, and his eyes were like electricity, looking at the maid standing outside the door.
The maid’s eyes were full of tears. Just as she was about to open her mouth to say something, she was glared back by Qin Zhaoyang’s look.
The next moment, Qin Zhaoyang stepped forward, and the maid followed closely behind.
It was not until they were far enough away from Qin Yu’s boudoir that Qin Zhaoyang said, “Now, tell me what’s the matter.”
“Old Ancestor…” The maid quickly told what had just happened.
When Qin Zhaoyang heard this, his face sank, and his figure flickered as he rushed towards the outer courtyard.
In the boudoir, Qin Yu said to Huier, “Help me up.”
Huier was startled and asked, “What do you want to do, Miss?”
“Go and take a look. I always feel restless, as if something is going to happen.” Qin Yu said with a solemn expression.
“There is the Old Ancestor taking care of things outside. What could happen？ Besides, you are not in good health now, so it’s better not to get up.”
“Will you help me or not！” Qin Yu glared with her beautiful eyes.
Huier said in a panic, “Miss, this servant doesn’t dare. If the Old Ancestor finds out…”
“Then I’ll get up by myself…” Qin Yu gritted her teeth and slowly got up. But such a simple action made big drops of cold sweat break out on her forehead, and a hard groan came from her throat.
Huier watched from the side, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She tried to persuade Qin Yu in every possible way, but Qin Yu still didn’t listen. In the end, she could only help while crying.
……
City Lord’s Mansion.
In the City Lord’s Hall, a man who looked about twenty years old was sitting upright in the first place. Although the man was handsome and imposing, he gave people a very sinister feeling, as if this person was constantly calculating some kind of conspiracy.
The man’s cultivation base was not very high, only at the first level of the Dao Source Realm, but his temperament was by no means comparable to that of ordinary family and sect disciples.
This person was the current Young Palace Master of the Flying Saint Palace, Ning Yuanshu.
Since the previous Young Palace Master of the Flying Saint Palace, Ning Yuancheng died mysteriously, Ning Yuanshu who was Ning Yuancheng’s younger brother, was established as the Young Palace Master.
Beside Ning Yuanshu, there was a strong person at the third level of the Dao Source Realm standing on each side. One had no expression on his face and closed his eyes to rest, and the other had a stern look and a crane-like hair and a ruddy complexion.
These two were the left and right protectors of the Flying Saint Palace, Gao Shan and Liu Shui.
The one on the left was Gao Shan, and the one on the right was Liu Shui. Both of them were proficient in music theory and skilled in sound attacks. Their methods were mysterious and their strength was also extremely strong.
At this moment, Ning Yuanshu was tasting the spirit fruit on the table with a smile on his face.
And below him, Zhuang Pan, the former Deputy City Lord of Fenglin City, was looking at a person coldly, with a look of contempt and pride on his face.
The person he was looking at was actually Duan Yuanshan.
The Drunken Old Man, with a flushed and drunk face, stood beside Duan Yuanshan. It seemed that he was drunk, and his eyes were a little hazy and unfocused.
I wonder why the Young Palace Master has summoned the two of us here？” Duan Yuanshan suddenly cupped his fists and asked, with an unhappy expression on his face.”
Whoever had their nest taken over by others wouldn’t be in a very good mood. However, considering the strength of the two great protectors, Gao Shan and Liu Shui, and the background of the Fei Sheng Palace, Duan Yuanshan doesn’t dare to resist and could only default that the other party had occupied the City Lord’s Mansion which symbolized the dignity of the City Lord. These days, he and the Drunken Old Man had also lived in seclusion and ignored worldly affairs.
Who would have known that today Ning Yuanshu would suddenly summon them over.
Calling the two of you here is naturally because there is something for you to do. Can’t you see that the Young Palace Master is tasting the spiritual fruit? Just wait obediently! Zhuang Pan suddenly shouted coldly and started to scold.
A few months ago, he had a conflict with Yang Kai, and his secret treasure was completely destroyed by Yang Kai, almost causing him to be seriously injured. At that time, not only did Duan Yuanshan not help him, but he also stood on Yang Kai’s side and rebuked him.
Naturally, Zhuang Pan held a grudge. Now that he has turned over a new leaf, he can’t wait to return the humiliation of that day a hundredfold.
“Burp…” The Drunken Old Man suddenly let out an extremely loud belch, and immediately a strong smell of alcohol filled the great hall.
Ning Yuanshu at the head position furrowed his brows, and had no more thoughts to taste any spirit fruits. He somewhat unhappily let go of the thing in his hand.
“City Lord… Burp, this old man… Um… Why do I hear a dog barking… Uh…” He finished a sentence in several segments, looking in a slovenly state, simply unbearable to look at.
“You…” Zhuang Pan was furious upon hearing this. How could he not hear the undisguised abuse and sarcasm in the other party’s words？
Ning Yuanshu, however, waved his hand to stop his next outburst.
Seeing this, Zhuang Pan indeed didn’t dare to say another word, but only looked at the Drunken Old Man with venomous eyes, as if he wanted to remember this hatred.
“City Lord Duan！” Ning Yuanshu greeted Duan Yuanshan with a smile.
The latter furrowed his brows.
Although the other party had a smile on his face, the feeling he gave to Duan Yuanshan was like a poisonous snake constantly spitting out its snake core, extremely dangerous, which made his heart shudder.
“What orders does the Young Palace Master have？” Duan Yuanshan said in a deep voice.
“This time when this young master left the palace, my father specifically asked the two great protectors, Gao Shan and Liu Shui, to follow. These two protectors are the strongest in the palace after my father and will not be dispatched easily. Does City Lord Duan know why？” he asked with a smile.
Duan Yuanshan thought to himself that your father sending people to protect you has nothing to do with me. Moreover, isn’t it always necessary for the young masters of sects and the like to have a few bodyguards when they go out？
He was thinking like this in his heart, but on his mouth he said, “I don’t know.”
“Hehe……” Ning Yuanshu smiled slightly and said, “Naturally, it is to protect my safety…”
Duan Yuanshan’s face sank, showing an expression of “Are you kidding me?”. If this question was so simple, would it still need to be asked?
Sure enough, Ning Yuanshu’s tone changed and he continued, “My father said that the public security in Fenglin City… is very bad！”
Duan Yuanshan frowned and said, “Where did this come from？ I have been in charge of Fenglin City for some years. Although the warriors in the city are not all kind and easy-going people, there are few things like murder and robbery. Regarding the bad public security, I’m sorry that I can’t agree.”
