Lee Shiyuan's heart trembled the moment he heard Yun Zhiqian's shout. A trace of cold sweat rolled down his forehead. He then stammered, "Actually, this happened ten days ago!"

Yun Zhiqian's beautiful eyes widened when she heard this. Shi Ling then looked over and heard Yun Zhiqian say, "Go on."

It could be heard that Yun Zhiqian was basically suppressing her anger right now, and the snowy peak on her chest rose and fell as she heard Lee Shiyuan slowly say, "Ten days ago, Wolf Bandit's figure actually appeared on our side of the East District. Every time they appeared, the goal was to capture all the children within the city.

Yun Zhiqian closed her eyes slightly, looking as if she was about to faint. She went to Yun Zhiqian's side to support her, but Yun Zhiqian immediately shook her head and gently pushed Wu Tie away, indicating that she was fine. She then turned to Lee Shiyuan and asked, "Why haven't you guys reported anything during these ten days?"

Lee Shiyuan started to stutter as he heard this, as if he didn't dare to say anything. However, Yun Zhiqian suddenly shouted, "Speak!"

Lee Shiyuan hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Yes, it's the Great Elder. He said that our East District can handle this kind of matter, so there's no need to report it to Lord Mayor."

Hearing that, Yun Zhiqian's eyes narrowed slightly as she muttered, "Great Elder! It's him again! "

After saying that, Yun Zhiqian took a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in her heart, and then said to Shi Ling, "You also saw that Wolf Bandit has been very active in the Yi Xiao City recently. If possible, I suggest that you don't go back to the Spirit Sword Sect for now, and stay there for a while.

However, Lee Shiyuan looked at Shi Ling with curiosity. From the moment Shi Ling appeared on Yun Zhiqian's mount, he had already noticed Shi Ling. In his opinion, Lord Mayor normally wouldn't let anyone else sit on his mount.

But today, for the first time ever, she allowed a man to sit on her mount. However, this was the City Lord's affair. Lee Shiyuan didn't dare to say much, but when he looked at Shi Ling, a trace of fierceness flashed across his eyes. It was as if his most treasured item had been snatched away by someone.

Yun Zhiqian then said to the people around her, "Clean this place up before returning to the city."

The soldiers replied in unison. Then they began to clean up the corpses on the ground. At the same time, the women who had found their children calmed down and followed the soldiers into the city.

In the next moment, she whistled. Soon after, she saw that the spirit kite that was hovering in the sky flew down, and Yun Zhiqian jumped on it. Shi Ling also followed behind her at this moment, and the spirit kite carried the two of them and flew into the sky.

At this time, Lee Shiyuan turned around and looked in the direction Ling Yuan had left, especially at the back of Shi Ling. Lee Shiyuan's eyes slightly narrowed as he turned around and left with a cold snort.

On Shi Ling's side, the current Shi Ling saw Yun Zhiqian driving a spirit kite towards City Lord's Mansion while using Message Conch to notify the elders of the four major districts about the City Lord's Mansion meeting.

Shi Ling silently sat at the side. After every elder of Yun Zhiqian's had been notified, they had already reached the City Lord's Mansion and both of them jumped down at the same time.

Yun Zhiqian kept the spirit kite, then turned to Shi Ling and said, "You should rest in my room first. I'm going to go discuss this matter with the other elders."

Shi Ling nodded and said, "It's fine, you don't need to worry about me. Go back to work."

Yun Zhiqian nodded and walked to the main hall, while Shi Ling walked to Yun Zhiqian's room.

The decorations here were very suitable for females to live in. Not only were there all kinds of flowers, there were also all kinds of expensive rouge and cosmetics, as well as all kinds of high-class silk. Shi Ling looked around and immediately sat on the balcony railing.

The first one was Chen Lu. Previously, Shi Ling had been injured by Fatty Xu, then passed out in front of Chen Lu's cave, then was saved by her, so they entered her room. After that was Chenyue, of course, Shi Ling didn't actually live in her room, after all, Chenyue had once enslaved Shi Ling, and this was the third time it was Yun Zhiqian's room.

Shi Ling could still smell a faint female scent here. After smelling it for a while, it would even make people have an urge to masturbate.

Shi Ling shook his head to clear it up. At this moment, a loud noise came over. After Shi Ling heard the sound, he looked towards the source of the sound.

After that, Shi Ling found that he could actually see the direction of the main hall from Yun Zhiqian's balcony, but it was too far away.

Shi Ling immediately closed his eyes. The moment he opened it, the Floral Pupil was released. The next moment, the scene in front of Shi Ling's eyes became bigger and bigger. Then, he could see the scene inside the main hall through all the obstructions.

He saw Yun Zhiqian sitting at the head of the main hall, with three other elders sitting around her. One of them, an old man with only one eye, was standing in the middle of the hall, with a pile of sawdust on the table in front of him.

Shi Ling frowned slightly and laughed evilly. A strange blue light flashed in his eyes as his eye strength suddenly increased. In the next moment, Shi Ling could understand what they were talking about.

The one-eyed old man looked at Yun Zhiqian who was sitting at the head of the main hall with her hands behind her back and said coldly, "Lord Mayor is really bold, he actually wants to strip me of my military power."

Yun Zhiqian's eyes flashed with a cold light as she said: "Great Elder, the East District caused more than fifty toddlers to be taken away by Wolf Bandit because of your personal reasons. Do you dare say that you have no responsibility for it?"

Yun Zhiqian was furious. Why? This was because the one-eyed old man in front of her, who was also the Great Elder of the East District, didn't put her, the City Lord, in his eyes at all.

And, it was also because of his willfulness that nearly fifty of the young children from East District were captured, so Yun Zhiqian wanted to take advantage of the military power held in his hands. But who knew that he would directly smash apart the table in the main hall with a slap, and arrogantly point at Yun Zhiqian as he yelled: "When this old man was dominating the world within the Yi Xiao City, even your mother did not even know where she was drinking milk!"

Yun Zhiqian stared coldly at the Great Elder. The Great Elder merely smiled coldly at Yun Zhiqian as he replied, "This is indeed my fault. However, it cannot be entirely my fault."

Yun Zhiqian's eyes turned cold as she said, "Oh? Then tell me who else's responsibility it is."

Afterwards, the other three elders who were sitting around looked at the Great Elder at the same time. They saw the Great Elder pointing a finger at Yun Zhiqian and said, "The main responsibility lies with you, Lord Mayor!"

Hearing this, the three Great Elders sucked in a deep breath. They didn't understand why the Great Elder had said it was Yun Zhiqian's fault. Yun Zhiqian's eyebrows were knitted slightly as she asked, "My responsibility?"

The Great Clan Elder put both his hands behind his back once again, looking very old, and said: "You gave me the East District's manpower and troops but you only gave me that little, you want me to guard that huge East District well, is that possible? So, in the end, it's your fault for all of this. If you were to give me more troops, I definitely wouldn't have let Wolf Bandit snatch the child away! "

The cold light in her eyes seemed to have condensed into substance, and at the same time, a strong cultivation level on the Bone Melting Stage, involuntarily appeared at this time. When the Great Elder felt the pressure, he coldly snorted and released the strength of the perfect Bone Melting Stage, instantly refuting it.

At this moment, Yun Zhiqian really wanted to eat the person in front of her alive. However, her rationality made her constantly calm down. After taking in a deep breath, she sat back down and said, "All of you can leave."

It was evident that Yun Zhiqian did not wish to say anything more. The First Elder merely snorted coldly when he heard this and left. The other three Elders treated Yun Zhiqian better. They stood up at the same time and bowed slightly to Yun Zhiqian before withdrawing.

When everyone in the main hall had left, Yun Zhiqian stood up and let out a scream. Bang bang bang. The strong sound wave caused many of the ceramic pots in the main hall to crack apart. At the same time, the entire main hall began to tremble.

After Yun Zhiqian had completely calmed down, she sat back down, a trace of discomfort showing on her face.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps reached Yun Zhiqian's ears. Yun Zhiqian turned around and saw Shi Ling walking in step by step. In his hand was a small jade bowl containing a pool of green soup with a faint medicinal fragrance.

Shi Ling came in front of Yun Zhiqian, handed the soup over to her and said, "Drink this, and let your anger go."

Yun Zhiqian didn't even look at the bowl of soup. Instead, she turned her head away and said, "Did you see what happened just now?"

Shi Ling put the bowl of soup on the tea table and said: "I am very curious, who is that one-eyed old man? Why are you so angry? "

After Yun Zhiqian heard these words, her mouth pursed into a smile, as if she was hesitating on whether or not she should tell Shi Ling about it. After thinking about it, she looked at Shi Ling and said: "He is the Great Elder of East District, and also a member of the Nangong bloodline, one of the three great branches of Spirit Sword Sect!"

Upon hearing that, Shi Ling's pupils constricted and he exclaimed: "The Nangong bloodline? sect master, Nangong Ling's family's influence? "

Yun Zhiqian nodded. Shi Ling was suddenly enlightened. He thought to himself, "No wonder that old fogey dared to be so arrogant. He must have some background." Then he heard Yun Zhiqian continue.

"Actually, even before I came to the Yi Xiao City, the Great Elder had already laid a very solid foundation here, so there are many times when he doesn't take my words seriously, even if my strength is stronger than his, it's still useless. If I touch him, I will definitely be attacked by his subordinates, and at the same time, my Spirit Sword Sect will also punish me."

Wu Tie nodded his head lightly, of course he knew the strong link, and Yun Zhiqian spoke again: "The Wolf Bandit that you saw today was actually our habitual offender, they weren't very strong, at most they only had two Bone Melting Stage leaders, and they didn't have many subordinates, but they could always stay outside the Yi Xiao City, and from time to time, they would even come to rob us, and with the current strength of the Yi Xiao City, we could have easily defeated them, but …"

At this point, Yun Zhiqian paused for a moment, but Shi Ling continued, "But because all the elders of the four major districts of the city are fighting for their lives and are unwilling to obey your orders, Wolf Bandit is unable to get rid of him. Among them, the Great Elder is even more unwilling to take your orders seriously, is that true?"

Yun Zhiqian looked at Shi Ling in shock. She did not expect that Shi Ling would actually be able to clearly see the structure of the Yi Xiao City so quickly.

"It is indeed like this, so in this one year of time, I have tried to integrate them into my subordinates more than once, but, no matter what I did, I was unable to combine them, and there were even a few times when they wanted to join hands to deal with me. If I did not rely on my own strength and the bestowal of Spirit Sword Sect, they would have already attacked me a long time ago."

After Shi Ling heard this, he fell into deep thought. After Yun Zhiqian finished her sentence, she picked up the soup that Shi Ling sent to her and drank it. Shi Ling sat to the side and started deep in thought with his eyes closed.

After Yun Zhiqian finished the bowl of soup, she felt much better. At least she no longer felt depressed like before. Then, at this moment, footsteps were heard again. Shi Ling and Yun Zhiqian simultaneously turned their heads to look at the direction of the footsteps.

Lee Shiyuan walked in slowly. When he arrived in front of Yun Zhiqian, he knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings, Lord Mayor."

Yun Zhiqian looked at Lee Shiyuan and wiped her mouth with a bunch of handkerchiefs. She said, "Stand up."

Wu Tie said, "Thank you, Lord Mayor," and then stood up.

Yun Zhiqian asked, "What's the matter?"

Lee Shiyuan lowered his head and did not speak for a while. Then, he took out a small box from the Storage Ring and handed it to Yun Zhiqian, saying: "When I heard about Lord Mayor's birthday yesterday, I especially made a small gift for him. I hope Lord Mayor can accept it."

At this time, Shi Ling started to size up the person in front of him. Yun Zhiqian looked at the box that the person handed to her, and after hesitating for a moment, she raised her hand and took it, saying: "I've received your gift, is there anything else?"

Lee Shiyuan saw that Yun Zhiqian was still cold to him even after she accepted his gift. He laughed dryly and said, "Nothing else."

Yun Zhiqian waved her hand and said, "Alright, you may leave."

Lee Shiyuan nodded his head in agreement and then slowly left. However, the moment he turned around, his lips curled up into an imperceptible smile. This scene was coincidentally seen by Shi Ling.

Once she brought it to Lee Shiyuan, Yun Zhiqian picked up the box again and said, "He's not bad, I still remember that it's my birthday yesterday and he even came to give me a present."

Immediately, he saw Yun Zhiqian slowly open the box. Immediately, he saw that there was a delicate purple wooden hairpin inside the box. The work was very meticulous and there was even a faint fragrance in the box, as if it had just been cut out from some kind of plant.

When Yun Zhiqian saw the hairpin, she felt that it was very ordinary, but the fragrance was very fragrant. When Shi Ling smelled the fragrance, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately rushed to Yun Zhiqian's side to slap away the box, then wrapped the hairpin and box with a piece of cloth. Yun Zhiqian was shocked by Shi Ling's action, she got up and walked to Shi Ling's side and asked, "What happened?"

A trace of coldness appeared in Shi Ling's eyes. He looked towards the direction Lee Shiyuan left and said, "That hairpin contains the essence of the Joyous Union Powder!"
