Hearing that, the Great Elder's pupils constricted slightly. He revealed a bewildered expression and could not help but look at Shi Ling, who was standing beside Yun Zhiqian. Shi Ling, the young man who did not say a word from the start, was looking at him with a mocking expression.

The Great Elder looked at Yun Zhiqian again and saw that she was looking at him expectantly. He thought to himself, "What's wrong with this woman?" For something like escorting her back to the Spirit Sword Sect, why would you look for me? "

The Great Clan Elder admitted that the relationship between him and Yun Zhiqian was extremely tense. If Yun Zhiqian truly wanted to return to the Spirit Sword Sect safely, she definitely wouldn't call him to escort her. However, she did speak to him.

The Great Elder frowned slightly. He couldn't tell that this woman had already guessed that he was going to make a move against her, right?

Thinking about this, the Great Elder nodded his head, thinking that there was such a possibility. Since the other party knew that he was going to deal with her, they had come to ask for his forgiveness. This could also explain why she would intentionally put down her pride and beg him.

When he looked at Yun Zhiqian, the fear from before was no longer in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Lord Mayor, it is not that I am not willing to escort Lord Mayor, but it is because after Lord Mayor left, I still have a lot of public affairs to manage. I can't get out of this, so I can't help you with this matter."

As he spoke, he even cupped his hands towards Yun Zhiqian. Upon hearing these words, the corners of Yun Zhiqian's lips curled up slightly as she recalled the scene from two hours ago.

Two hours ago …

In Yun Zhiqian's room, Shi Ling and Yun Zhiqian were sitting next to each other, sipping tea. Yun Zhiqian, on the other hand, had a shocked expression on her face as she looked at Shi Ling and said, "What did you say? Great Elder and the rest want to deal with me? "

Shi Ling put down the tea in his hand and said, "Although I can't be sure, but the possibility that they will make a move against you is very high."

Hearing that, Yun Zhiqian laughed disdainfully, saying, "Just with the few of them? Right now, I am unable to touch them due to the City Lord's status. If they really dare to cause trouble for me after exiting the Yi Xiao City, I can kill them with a flip of my hand! "

When Yun Zhiqian said this, she did not hide the confidence in her eyes. Shi Ling did not deny it, because, at Yun Zhiqian's current realm, let alone facing four Bone Melting Stage experts, even if there were four more, she could still easily kill them.

However, Shi Ling shook his head and said, "Indeed, if it's just based on strength, even if their numbers increase by one fold, they might not be your match, but …"

When he said this, Shi Ling paused for a moment, pursed his lips, and then continued: "But, I'm not sure if they will use some kind of despicable trick!"

Hearing this, Yun Zhiqian's eyes widened slightly. She immediately spoke with uncertainty, "Although the relationship between him and I is extremely stiff, there is no grudge between us that is as deep as the sea. So there is no need for him to attack me right? Besides, what good would it do them to attack me? "

After hearing this, Shi Ling smiled. Although Yun Zhiqian was very powerful, she was after all still a nineteen year old girl and was still very immature in terms of her personality. In front of Shi Ling, who had already reached the initial stage of the Dao Realm, she was like a little girl with no scheming mind.

Shi Ling shook his head and said, "After observing the Great Elder for the past few days, I have discovered that he is a narrow-minded person who does many things without considering the consequences. Furthermore, there are many conflicts between you and him, and for a despicable person like him, once he sees you losing, he will not beat around the bush?"

After Yun Zhiqian heard this, she stopped talking. Her face showed a contemplative look. Shi Ling then continued, "But the reason they attacked you is very obvious!"

When Yun Zhiqian heard this, a trace of doubt appeared on her face. She looked at her own body and thought to herself, 'What kind of earth-shattering treasure is this?' However, Shi Ling laughed: "In the mortal world, other than robbing money, what else would bandits rob?"

When Yun Zhiqian heard this, her eyes widened. She stood up abruptly and stared at Shi Ling. Shi Ling had already said this much. If she still didn't understand, then she would really have a big chest and no brain.

Shi Ling waved his hand at her, indicating for her to sit down, then continued, "In the mortal world, bandits know about robbing, sex, and even more so in the cultivation world. Think about it, if they could catch you, what would you become?"

When Yun Zhiqian heard this, her expression became increasingly cold. However, Shi Ling slightly leaned forward and said, "Dual-cultivation furnace!"

After Yun Zhiqian heard this, she did not hide the anger and killing intent in her eyes. However, Shi Ling changed the topic again and said, "Of course, this is only my guess. We are not sure if they will make a move against you. But there's no mistake in preparing for the worst, right? "

At this moment, Yun Zhiqian's slender eyebrows creased as she asked, "Then what should we do now?"

At this moment, Shi Ling stood up and stretched his body before lying on Yun Zhiqian's bed. He said, "If you were the Great Elder, what would you do?"

At this time, Yun Zhiqian also walked over and sat beside Shi Ling. She asked, "What do you say?"

Shi Ling said with a faint smile, "I will make my move against you when you are the most isolated and helpless one."

When Yun Zhiqian heard what he said, her eyes opened wide as she exclaimed, "You're saying that they might make a move against me on my way back to the Spirit Sword Sect?"

Shi Ling nodded his head, and said: "You've already told me before, it's almost impossible to find that batch of materials within three days, so, after three days, once your identity as the City Master of Yi Xiao City has been removed by the Spirit Sword Sect, the only choice you have is to return to the Spirit Sword Sect, and in the process of returning to the Spirit Sword Sect, not only will you not be able to get protection from the Yi Xiao City, you won't be able to get support from the Spirit Sword Sect as well. In this way, you'll be isolated in a situation, where the possibility of them making a move against you will be the greatest!"

It was just as Shi Ling had said, she did not have a deep background in Spirit Sword Sect. Although she was Grandma Xuan Mei's disciple, she would not care about the number of Grandma Xuan Mei's disciples, and furthermore, even if Yun Zhiqian told Grandma Xuan Mei about this, she would say that Yun Zhiqian was useless and could not even deal with a few minor characters. At that time, she would not care about Yun Zhiqian anymore.

Yun Zhiqian then asked, "Even if they want to deal with me, they have to have the strength to do so!"

Shi Ling placed his hands behind his head and asked, "As one of the three main branches of the Spirit Sword Sect, Great Elder, do you believe that the Nangong family's servant said he didn't have any background?"

Yun Zhiqian became silent. Shi Ling sat up on the bed. Yun Zhiqian said, "What do we do now?"

The corner of Shi Ling's mouth raised slightly as he heard this. He immediately went close to Yun Zhiqian's ear and whispered softly.
