Yun Zhiqian had a strange expression on her face when she heard that. She glanced at the gift box that was covered by Shi Ling, then looked at Shi Ling and said, "Lee Shiyuan isn't that kind of person!"

Shi Ling frowned and shook his head again. He said, "People's hearts are often the most unpredictable."

When Yun Zhiqian heard this, her face became unsightly. She immediately walked over. Shi Ling wanted to stop her, but she waved his hand to indicate that she was fine. At this moment, Shi Ling stopped talking.

Yun Zhiqian walked up to the gift box and gently lifted the cloth. Her gaze fell upon the hairpin on top of the box. The fragrance emitted from it was still extremely distinct even now.

Yun Zhiqian used her mana to wrap around her hands and picked up the hairpin. The next moment, her mana permeated into the hairpin. Shi Ling stood to the side with his arms crossed in front of his chest, not saying a word.

After a long while, a flame suddenly rose in Yun Zhiqian's hand. After that, the hairpin was burned in front of Shi Ling. Shi Ling walked over and asked, "How is it?"

Yun Zhiqian dusted off the dust in her hands and said, "There is indeed the essence of the Joyous Union Powder, but the amount is very little. According to this ratio, not to mention deceiving a cultivator, even deceiving a mortal is unlikely."

When Shi Ling heard this, his eyes revealed a little surprise. Why? It was because Shi Ling could tell that Yun Zhiqian was still protecting Lee Shiyuan. From her words, he could tell that she didn't want Lee Shiyuan to do such a thing, so Shi Ling was curious about who Lee Shiyuan was. Why Yun Zhiqian trusted him so much.

Shi Ling then said, "The content of Joyful Union Powder is very little, but that doesn't mean that it isn't bewitching."

Yun Zhiqian turned to Shi Ling and asked, "What do you mean?"

Shi Ling said, "If you were to say that you just absorbed that part of Joyful Union Powder into your body because the content was very small, you wouldn't notice it. However, if someone else smeared Joyful Union Powder onto their body, can you imagine what the consequences would be?"

Yun Zhiqian couldn't help but widen her eyes as she began to ponder seriously. With a bewildered look in her eyes, she would walk back and forth in the main hall from time to time. Not long later, Yun Zhiqian came to a stop and her eyes became extremely cold.

It was just as Shi Ling said, if Yun Zhiqian unintentionally inhaled that strand of Joyous Powder into her body, then Lee Shiyuan smeared a small amount of it on her body. In this way, the next time she smelled the Joyous Powder on him, she would definitely become confused and become his plaything.

Thinking of this, Yun Zhiqian's eyes became colder and colder. She clenched her jade-like hands as the temperature around them dropped by a dozen degrees, making Shi Ling, who was standing to the side, feel a chill in his bones.

When Shi Ling saw this scene, he couldn't help but shake his head. It was no wonder that Yun Zhiqian only asked him to go on her birthday and not anyone else, because there weren't many people who could be trusted within the entire Yi Xiao City.

Shi Ling couldn't help but shake his head. Why does this feel so familiar? Thinking about it, I also have this kind of situation. I feel that the whole world is against me and everyone around me wants to deal with me.

Yun Zhiqian's appearance last night when she was sitting alone on top of the sky and drinking wine by herself really caused one to feel pity for her.

Thinking of this, Shi Ling came to Yun Zhiqian's side. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Yun Zhiqian took a deep breath and shook her head. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

Shi Ling couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw her like that. He thought to himself, "If there's nothing wrong, then there's something wrong."

Then, at this time, Yun Zhiqian sensed a burst of Fa Li suddenly being transmitted from her Storage Ring, Yun Zhiqian immediately took out her Message Conch and activated her technique, following that, her eyes slightly opened, and said: "It's news from Spirit Sword Sect!"

Shi Ling's face revealed an expression of doubt, what kind of message did the Spirit Sword Sect send over to the Yi Xiao City?

Yun Zhiqian immediately used her own thoughts to communicate with the Spirit Sword Sect people, so Shi Ling stood at the side without saying anything. After a long while, Yun Zhiqian put the Message Conch down, and Shi Ling asked: "Why is the Spirit Sword Sect looking for you?"

Yun Zhiqian kept the Message Conch and said: "Spirit Sword Sect requires me to deliver the materials that I handed in this year."

When Shi Ling heard this, he was slightly surprised. "Now?"

Yun Zhiqian nodded her head slightly and said, "Actually, the materials submitted by Yi Xiao City should have been delivered already last month. However, because of some problems, they have been delayed until now, and that's why the Spirit Sword Sect has come to urge me."

Shi Ling then said, "But now that Wolf Bandit is so rampant and the four great elders of the city all have their own forces, can they deliver the goods safely?"

Yun Zhiqian shook her head. Obviously, she was not confident, but after thinking for a while, she continued, "The four great elders do not dare to be careless when it comes to escorting Spirit Sword Sect s, so they should cooperate with me. Also, I plan to personally escort this batch of resources to Spirit Sword Sect s."

When Shi Ling heard this, he nodded and stopped talking.

After that, Yun Zhiqian called the four elders and the other higher-ups of the Yi Xiao City over, and told them about the matter of escorting the resources to the Spirit Sword Sect.

Just as Yun Zhiqian had said, the Four Great Elders, including the Great Clan Elder, were all very cooperative with the matter of the escort supplies for Spirit Sword Sect. After all, if this matter were to go awry and the Spirit Sword Sect were to be infuriated, they would all be in trouble.

This time, the discussion was rather quick, and after a while, the details were decided. The four elders were to send out a thousand experts from the north, south, east and west districts, and the City Lord's Mansion was to send out two thousand people, making a total of six thousand people.

Because there were still a large amount of cultivation resources in this batch of resources, in order to prevent unnecessary troubles, the elders decided to escort them to the river path and from there, they would head to Spirit Sword Sect. The time would be tonight, at midnight (9: 00-11: 00 PM).
