After breaking off the marriage with the hero Long Aotian[Transmigration Book]

Chapter 49

Ling Xici didn't speak, but from the corners of his lips and the cold eyes, it could be seen that he was already unhappy.

But Yue Shufeng's attitude was also rare and tough. He said: "The situation in the inner city is unknown. Whether it is from the overall situation or my selfishness, we should not go together."

Ling Xici let out a "huh", rationality made him suppress his anger, but emotion made him uncontrollable and wanted to refute, "Then why didn't I go to the appointment and you stay here."

Yue Shufeng's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was very calm, "Because only I can sense the devilish energy inside."

-

"squeak"

The door was opened from the inside, and the waiters from the inner city who were waiting outside only had time to salute, before they could speak, the person who opened the door earlier snorted coldly at them, angrily went downstairs, and disappeared into the crowd with a quick turn of his back.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you are going to an appointment.

The waiter's expression was stunned for a moment, as if he was not sure what the situation was, then he cast his eyes on the only person left in the room, and said hesitantly: "Mr. Yiyang, this is King Anle?"

"He has other things to deal with." Yue Shufeng walked out slowly, closing the door behind him, "I'll go with you."

"This..." The waiter's expression was a bit perplexed, "The city lord means to invite the two of you together. If King An Le has something important to do, you might as well say it, we might be able to help you."

"It's just a private matter, I'll take care of the city lord." Yue Shufeng spoke softly, but his attitude was unquestionable, he stopped the servant from continuing to pester him, and said politely, "Please lead the way."

The waiter didn't dare to say much, so he just shut up and An Sheng turned back.

The carriages and horses had already been parked outside the inn, and the unique signs of the inner city were engraved on the outside of the carriages, attracting many people to stop by, wanting to see who would be the one who could be invited by the inner city.

Ling Xici hid in the dark, watching the expressions of the people around him condescendingly.

As soon as he left the inn, he pretended to be angry and quickly moved away from the watchers, and then changed his clothes again and returned to the nearby area.

Yes, the angry appearance just now was just an illusion. Although he has a bad temper, he is not the kind of person who would show his emotions in front of outsiders.Making such a gesture is just to linger an illusion that the two are not compatible, and to deceive others.

If those two people in the inner city really have ulterior motives, then two people who seem to be close to each other will naturally have better strategies and more weaknesses than a couple with deep feelings.

But this does not mean that Ling Xici is not angry, he just puts the overall situation first and temporarily suppresses it.When Yue Shufeng came back from the inner city, the two still had to settle accounts again.

Yes, he wasn't worried about the safety of Yue Shufeng entering the inner city. After all, the trial was imminent. As long as the two city lords had brains, they would not choose this time to attack.And Yue Shufeng would not be so stupid as to deliberately contradict others, hypocrisy and obedience are his strong points.

After all, Ling Xici was angry because the other party wanted to put him aside.It's not that he can't understand the other party's intention to protect him, but they are the same gender, which law stipulates that he must be protected by the other party?

It's okay to coax and tease on weekdays, it's just the fun between two people.At a time like this, does it have to be divided into strong and weak?

If it wasn't for the lack of time, Ling Xici would not have compromised so quickly and followed the other party's proposal.

Compared with when they first entered the city, there are many more human races in the inner city, many of them recognize Yue Shufeng's identity, and there are some faces that Ling Xici also finds familiar, probably seen in the academy of.

Ling Xici looked at it from top to bottom, somewhat lacking in interest.He glanced randomly at one place, and suddenly stopped.

The wheels slid across the ground and made a rumbling sound. The carriage drove into the inner city and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Ling Xici withdrew his gaze from the direction of the inner city, turned and left the spot, taking advantage of their focus on Yue Shufeng, he could seize the opportunity to do something else.

The people on both sides of the road lost their excitement and gradually dispersed.A few young men and women stayed where they were for a while longer, but they also left soon.

Ling Xici followed one of them, seeing that she was out of sight of the guards in the inner city, he quickly took two steps forward, "Miss Tang."

"Eh?" Tang Xiao turned his head when he heard the sound, and his blank expression froze when he saw the familiar spiritual power fluctuations of the transmission talisman in Ling Xici's hand.Since Ling Xici made a disguise, she definitely didn't want to be discovered, so she lowered her voice, "Little prince?"

Ling Xici said politely, "Can I spare you a little time?"

Tang Xiao readily agreed.

The two avoided the crowd and found a secluded place to talk. Ling Xi resigned: "I have already asked Seventh Brother what the girl asked me to ask before. If there is no accident, the two of us should participate in this trial. .But if other elder brothers also want to come, he may not come."

"Thank you." Tang Xiao got the answer, thanked him first, and then took the initiative to say: "Does the little prince need my help?"

"Yeah." Ling Xici admitted frankly, "I want to trouble the girl with something."

-

After burning an incense stick, there was a moment of commotion at the front gate of the inner city. Something went wrong. The protective formations everywhere issued warnings at the same time. The guards were so busy that they had no time to pay attention.

Ling Xici seized the opportunity, found a gap and slipped into the inner city.

Unlike the strict guards outside the inner city, the guards in the inner city can be said to be ordinary.Ling Xici observed carefully for a while, and then began to move under the cover of the building, looking for a position that was less windy.

But I don't know if he was looking in the wrong direction or what happened, along the way, Ling Xici passed by three palaces at least, but he not only didn't bump into the guards, but he didn't even see a maid.

The entire inner city seemed to be a huge tomb, so quiet that there was no sound at all.Ling Xici found a higher attic and looked down, only then did he discover the problem.

It wasn't that he was unlucky, it was that he didn't expect that more than half of the palaces in the inner city were idle, and only a few buildings at the rear were lit, which looked so lively.

Could it be that there are only two brothers and sisters living here? Ling Xici felt a little inconceivable.Moreover, why is it so lifeless to host a banquet as agreed upon?

Thinking this way, Ling Xici walked towards the palace.

When it was almost enough to see the distance over there, Ling Xici stopped.From his current position, he couldn't hear the conversation inside. He could only see another man in the hall besides Yue Shufeng.

Judging from his position, he should be the "brother" of the pair of brothers and sisters.Ling Xici also paid attention to the other people around the two, and found no one who fit the image of "sister" among the people dressed as maids.

Seeing the appearance of the guests enjoying themselves in the palace, Ling Xici curled his lips and quietly moved towards a palace on the right.

This seems to be the place where the brother and sister lived, Ling Xici looked at it and came to a conclusion.Concerned about the possible formation and the other city lord who did not show up, he did not act too recklessly in his investigation, but was very cautious.

But even if he just observed from a distance, Ling Xici still found an extremely strange phenomenon very easily.

The palace is not popular.

This has nothing to do with whether their masters are ghost cultivators or not. Wherever people have lived, there will be some traces of their masters.

Just like the books randomly placed on the desk, the small objects on the bedside, or the flowers picked casually in the yard, they are all the reflection of a person in life.

But this palace is different, it is extremely simple.It doesn't look like a permanent residence, more like a short stay.

This is really not surprising.

According to what Yue Shufeng had told him earlier, the brother and sister should have taken over the post of city lord of the ghost town decades ago.Even if the lifespan of a cultivator is measured in thousands of years, isn't it enough for them to have a sense of belonging here after such a long time?

In the place where I usually live, there is not even a single object that can represent the unique personality of the owner.And if they don't like this place, why don't they change places early, but stay forcibly.

Ling Xici couldn't quite figure it out, he was about to leave the palace to take a look around, but just as he reached the second gate, he suddenly sensed someone approaching, and quickly hid his breath in a dark place.

As the footsteps approached, two figures gradually appeared, a man and a woman.Ling Xici quickly recognized from the clothes that the man was the one who sat with Yue Shufeng in the hall earlier, and the woman next to him had a somewhat similar face to him, presumably the one from before Another city lord who has never appeared.

The two came to the porch where Ling Xici was in silence and stopped, the man stayed outside while the woman stepped in.

In order to avoid being exposed, Ling Xici had no choice but to continue hiding and wait for them to leave before leaving.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before the woman came out of the palace, and she seemed to be holding something in her arms.

"Have you got it?" The man waiting outside the hall saw her come out and asked aloud.

"Can it be wrong?" The younger sister jumped forward and threw herself into the man's arms, her voice sounded a little excited, "Brother, are we going back soon?"

"You want to go back so much?" The man's voice was cold, but he also showed a bit of gentleness when he treated his sister, "I don't think you liked it so much before."

"It's not that time. I've been staying in such a small place for decades, and I can't go out casually. I'm getting tired of it." The younger sister stuck out her tongue, shook the man's arm, and repeated He asked like a cannonball, "Have you confirmed your identity? Is it him?"

"Not sure yet." The man shook his head. "There were two people who went during the day, but now they only have one person here. Let's see if he can make this thing react later."

Ling Xici suddenly realized, no wonder they were careful enough, but their whereabouts were still noticed. It turned out that the pair of brothers and sisters had placed something in the formation that could induce induction to screen people.

He suddenly remembered what Yue Shufeng said about sensing the existence of demonic energy inside. Could the demonic energy that Yue Shufeng sensed be the thing that reacted with the thing the siblings are holding now?

And when they said going back, where did they mean going back?
