"You mean, the storybook disappeared inexplicably?"

Su Jiu nodded, "It's obvious that the words disappeared inexplicably."

Yun Huanling touched her chin and frowned and said, "What a pity. The female cultivator was one step ahead of us at that time and snatched the storybook. Otherwise, we might have it in our hands and we would know what was going on."

Su Jiu shook his head, "Time is the same as fate."

Yun Huanling curled her lips, "She deserves it. She will rob her of life!"

Speaking of this, Yun Huanling suddenly felt that this topic was boring. He took out two cards in gold-toned black fonts from the storage ring and raised them in front of Su Jiu.

"Invitation letter. During the time you left, a guard from the city lord's mansion sent it in person."

Su Jiu glanced at it and did not take it over. Instead, she said indifferently, "Since that's the case, let's go and see it yourself."

...

At this time, in the backyard of the city lord's mansion, a dignified girl was confronting the boy.

"How dare you!" The girl's anger almost broke through her head.

The boy looked indifferent, "What's wrong with me?"

The girl smashed the booklet in her hand on the boy's face, and a red mark immediately left on the boy's face.

He finally put away his cynical expression and replaced it with an extremely gloomy face.

However, the girl was not afraid of him like this, but continued, "You have the nerve to ask what's wrong! What we said at the beginning! Only take the soul of the evil-filled person, what are you doing now?"

As the girl said, she picked up the booklet that had fallen to the ground. She flipped through the booklet and pointed at one of them and said, "This temple is called a pillar! Tell me, what unforgivable evil things he did, you want to collect his soul."

The boy stretched his neck and glanced at it, and said lightly, "When he was a child, he stole the things from his neighbors, and he was jealous of his good brother having a good baby marriage."

"That's it? You just took his soul away because of this!"

"Yes, in my opinion, this is an unforgivable evil."

The girl gritted her teeth and pointed to a girl whipped on the last page, "Where is Miss Qin Er?"

The boy said with some disgust, "Is her evil deeds worthy of me? He is arrogant and bullied good and afraid of evil. Who doesn't know that this is an evil girl in this city?"

The girl said, "But you know that she is not bad by nature and will not die!"

The boy's voice suddenly became cold, "Sin will not die? That is in your opinion, in my opinion, enough."

"How did you become like this now?" The girl seemed to have seen something incredible. Many emotions flashed through her eyes, heartache, sadness, and even more incomprehensible emotions.

There was no emotional fluctuation on the boy's face, but he said coldly, "What I have become has nothing to do with you, right? And you may not believe it..."

The boy sneaked over and whispered in the girl's ear, "All this I did was approved by the owner."

The girl was completely stunned and murmured, "He clearly promised me..."

"Swish... promise you? What qualifications are you saying this on? Don't forget that he is not only my master, but also your master. If the master promises a pet dog, you can just listen to it, why are you still serious about it here?"

Speaking of this, the boy widened his eyes and looked in disbelief. "Don't you really feel that you are unique in the master's heart, right?"

The boy put his hand on the girl's shoulder and looked at her dull expression, and found it very interesting. "Tsk tsk tsk, it's so pitiful."

The girl slowly closed her mind, and a bitter chill suddenly burst out in her eyes. She waved the boy's hand that the boy had placed on her shoulder, turned around and was about to leave.

The boy was not in a hurry, but just said slowly behind her, "Are you going to confront your master? Because of staying together for so long, I think I should remind you."

Seeing the girl's footsteps stop because of his words, the smile on the boy's face couldn't help but deepen, "I am the master's natal magic weapon. Only the better I am, the better the master will be. Do you think the master will really restrict his growth because of a pet's words?"

Seeing the girl's back becoming more and more stiff, the boy continued, "I know what you are thinking. You must be thinking, 'Then we can also take it slowly, why bother dyeing the blood of innocent people', right?"

The corner of the boy's lips curled up a little. "I said, Huaer, you are no longer the innocent person since the day you agreed to this rule. Because human life should not be judged by us, even if that person is full of evil.

After all, it is just to make yourself feel better and impose a reason to comfort yourself.

Killing is killing people. No matter whether it is a good person or a bad person, there is actually not much difference between us."

The girl's body began to tremble uncontrollably. Yes, their purpose was never pure. Even if they were killed by the evil ones, they were just the other's soul. They were never really practicing the way for heaven. Instead, they satisfied their own selfish desires in the name of practicing the way for heaven.

The boy walked behind the girl again and chuckled in her ear, "Hua'er, do you know? The reason why the master is willing to accommodate you now is because you are still useful. You should be glad that you have awakened talent and magic. Otherwise, you will still be thrown away by the master at a certain foot like a thousand years ago, and can only be used to set up a formation and fall into ashes...

I think that at that time, you shouldn't be so lucky to meet the second Su Jiu again.

So, stop testing your master's patience. You must recognize your status and know that you are not irreplaceable.

Moreover, the master has been obsessed with improving his strength recently. Wouldn’t you take the initiative to give him a head when you come up at this time?"

The girl's face turned completely white, and her expression was even more fragile and shaking. She no longer remembers how long it had been since she heard the name Su Jiu. Now she feels like a different life after hearing it again.

All the justice in her heart was irrigated by Su Jiu for her, but now, she can only watch herself be painted bit by bit again into the color she should have.

In fact, she has never been worthy of standing by her side...

"In addition, I think I should tell you the truth about why the master promised you not to hurt innocent people indiscriminately.

At that time, when he first entered the city lord's mansion, he needed to win the city lord's trust and was also a time when he needed to keep a low profile. So even if you didn't say it, he didn't plan to do this thing in big moves.

And you said that, so what if he coaxed you with the stairs?

Huaer, we can never control anything by the master because we are the spirit of the weapon."

Hua Ling fell to the spot and murmured, "So, everything you have done in these days has actually been recognized by him, right?"

The boy seemed to like to get close to her. When he saw Hua Ling sitting on the ground, he also squatted down with the flow. "Yes, you have to know, I am the master's natal magic weapon, and I always know what master I am."

"So, have you recognized your status now? Xiao Hualing."

...

At the same time, Su Jiu and his group had already entered the city lord's mansion.

The structure of the City Lord's Mansion was nothing special. However, after Su Jiu entered here, he found that the aura here was slightly messy.

"There are many monks in the city lord's mansion." Su Jiu's cold voice sounded from their ears.

"No way, they all received invitation letters? It's so coincidental that they all caught up with the same day..." Yun Huanling whispered beside Su Jiu.

However, Su Jiu felt that this was probably not a coincidence.

Under the leadership of the maid, the group passed through a corridor and two courtyards, and the four people finally arrived at the gate of the main hall used by the city lord to receive them.

Compared with the aura that Su Jiu felt outside, there were many unfamiliar auras in the hall.

Su Jiu couldn't help frowning and expressed a confusion. Why are there people everywhere in the city lord's mansion and cultivators?

At this time, a tall and thin figure walked out from the hall. Su Jiu only glanced at her dress and guessed the identity of the visitor.

The city lord was wearing a dark green robe and an iconic jade crown. His eyebrows were slightly raised, and it seemed as if he was dyed with ink. His facial features looked neutral in appearance. When he stood there without laughing, he naturally had a look of no anger and self-righteousness. He looked like he was a serious and rigid person.

However, the city lord is so majestic that he should pay attention to when treating guests.

Su Jiu is really curious about such a female city lord.

The city lord looked at Su Jiu for two more times and bowed, "I think you are Su Zhenjun."

Su Jiu was not surprised that the city lord knew his name. After all, everyone had to register before entering the city. Su Jiu had never thought of hiding it, so he naturally came in directly with his own identity.

Su Jiu returned a gift.

Then the city lord turned his gaze to Yun Huanling, "Yun Zhenjun."

Yun Huanling also replied with a gift.

Finally, the city lord turned his gaze on the two people behind Su Jiu, showing a somewhat surprised look, "Huh? Are you here too? I thought you wouldn't come..."

A surprise flashed between the city lord's eyebrows.

Yes, she has not received a reply for two days, and she will usually automatically agree that the other party refuses to visit...

Wei Yu stepped forward and bowed, but he didn't say more. The monks in the God Transformation Stage had their own pride, so naturally they would not take the initiative to say too much.

However, Yun Chao explained two sentences, "I happened to meet Ajiu, so I came together."

It turned out to be a friend. The city lord nodded calmly, but his heart was a little excited.

She was actually a little self-aware of this. Ancheng is not a big city. Many monks who claim to be very high will abandon it when they receive the invitation, feeling that it is really unnecessary to make friends with a mere small city lord.

Of course, it is precisely because she knows this that she never gets angry about it, and she will not feel hatred because the other party doesn't come.

The city lord brought a few people into the hall, and then said to a female servant next to him, "Add two chairs and a table."

After the maid received the order, she went down to do it immediately.

While they were waiting, Su Jiu also looked around the people sitting in the hall.

There are high and low cultivation levels, there are casual cultivators and sect cultivators. However, overall, there are still many casual cultivators, but there are very few sect cultivators.

When they look at each other, the other party will naturally look at them.

Most of these people looked at Su Jiu and others with a critical look, and even looked a little arrogant.

Su Jiu was a little puzzled. Where did they get the confidence?

Someone said contemptuously, "Tsk, there are four more people who have hidden their cultivation, which is extremely boring."

Someone laughed and said, "What's wrong with hiding cultivation? It can be unfathomable and can also arouse others' fear."

There was also someone who had hidden cultivation and was affected by the hidden cultivation. He sarcastically said, "I sound so sad. If I don't have the magic weapon to hide cultivation, I will say some sour words. To put it bluntly, I'm jealous."
To be continued...
