Guo Huai was thinking about countermeasures with a dark face. He only heard Li Linger sobbing on the side. Guo Huai had to comfort him: "Don't worry! As long as I am here, no one can take you away. We will go back to Yu tomorrow." Qing Zong, stay away from this place."
"It's all my fault. My appearance has caused me countless troubles since I was a child. All the troubles are caused by it. I might as well disfigure my appearance so that the city lord won't miss me anymore!"
Li Ling'er was a little desperate. She looked at her beautiful face in the mirror. Now she didn't feel happy at all. She only felt that it was a burden.
"Don't say stupid things. You can stay here peacefully while I go out to explore the situation."
Guo Huai always had a bad feeling in his heart, which had saved him many times in his thousands of years of life.
"Space concealment!"
Guo Huai disappeared into nothingness in a flash. This unique skill was learned from the "Space Concealment Assassination Technique" given to him by Sheng Huiran. Unexpectedly, he would now spy on the Sheng family.
"Hui Ran, if you don't want to persuade her, the city lord wants to see this beauty tomorrow!"
In a luxurious attic of the Sheng family, the place was brightly lit, and five heavenly immortal monks from the Sheng family were sitting, and everyone was talking about Li Ling'er.
"Uncle Clan, you've seen Guo Huai's temper. It's like a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard. A few days ago in Yuelaixiang, he dared to be tough on Manager Li. If I hadn't made peace with him in the middle, I'm afraid he would have been killed on the spot. The fight started."
Sheng Huiran understood Guo Huai's character. He was soft-spoken but not tough. If the city lord was tough, Guo Huai would really dare to be tough.
"He is a small sect on the border, with only three heavenly monks and dozens of earthly immortals. Where does he have the confidence to not give face to our Sheng family? He even dares to disobey the good intentions of the city lord."
"Yeah, this kid is too shameless, why don't we give him some color and see."
"Isn't she just a sister of the opposite sex? Even if she is a biological sister, as long as the city lord likes her, she will still offer her to her."
"Isn't that right! Not to mention my biological sister, she is my Taoist companion. If the city lord likes her, he will send her to her as soon as possible."
Sheng Huiran did not expect that the usually aloof clan elders would have such an expression, which was completely different from their usual sanctimonious appearance.
At this time, Sheng Huaixuan, the head of the Sheng family, said expressionlessly: "Whether he agrees or not, this woman must be sent to the city lord's house before noon tomorrow."
Then he added: "Now is the critical period of our fight with the Mubai family. The attitude of the city lord is very important. Huiran will go and persuade him tomorrow. If Guo Huai is still stubborn, don't blame us for being ruthless. ”
"Are we going to kill Guo Huai and force Li Ling'er to the City Lord's Mansion?"
Sheng Huiran said in surprise.
"Then what else can be done? Can one Guo Huai be as important as the future of our Sheng family for hundreds of thousands of years in the future?"
"Hui Ran, you are still young. You have to remember that nothing is more important than the fate and future of your family. Not to mention Guo Huai, even everyone here can be given up at critical moments."
"Okay, let's disperse! If Hui Ran's persuasion fails tomorrow, we will arrest Guo Huai ourselves and use his life to threaten Li Ling'er into submission."
After everyone dispersed, Sheng Huiran was still confused and stunned. After a long time, she Shi Shiran left. Before leaving, she suddenly turned her head to look at the garden in the distance. She swept away with her consciousness and found nothing. Strange, then he sighed and left.
After everyone had completely dispersed, Guo Huai quietly walked out of the garden. Just now, he thought Sheng Huiran had discovered him, but he knew it was a false alarm.
Guo Huai returned to his residence and told Ling'er about the Sheng family's conspiracy just now.
Li Ling'er's eyes widened and she said angrily: "How can the Sheng family do this, even losing face?"
"Ling'er, you must remember this lesson today. This is your first lesson in the fairy world. No one can believe it!"
Guo Huai said with a heavy heart.
"Well, I only believe in the sect leader, I don't trust anyone else."
Li Ling'er vowed.
Guo Huai shook his head helplessly. Li Ling'er still lacked training and was too simple-minded.
"We'll leave at first light tomorrow."
Guo Huai had already made up his mind. This was an away game in Yicheng, so it would be better to leave early. Once the game opened in the city, he would not be able to care about Li Ling'er's safety.
As soon as it got dark, Guo Huai and Li Ling'er left the Sheng family early. The two of them were walking in a hurry. Suddenly, Guo Huai caught a glimpse of the Sheng family's weapon refining workshop not far away, which was still brightly lit and making tinkling noises.
Counting the days, the date for the seven flying knives that Guo Huai ordered has also arrived.
"Ling'er, let's go see if the flying knife I customized is ready."
Guo Huai knew that after leaving, he would probably not come back in a short time. These seven flying knives were very important to Guo Huai. He could not stay here to take advantage of the Sheng family.
"Is Fellow Daoist Ma here?"
Guo Huai had a smile on his face and a calm demeanor, and there was no sign that he was preparing to escape.
"Oh! It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Guo, you're here to see your flying knife, right?"
Old Man Ma wiped the sweat from his head. The ground fire here was so strong that even the heavenly monks were so hot that they were covered in sweat.
"Yeah, I can't help but come here so early in the morning."
Guo Huai nodded and admitted his eagerness.
"Here~~, I built it again last night, you can see if there are any problems."
Old Man Ma handed over a leather knife bag, with seven flying knives emitting black cold light pinned to it. They had three attributes: armor piercing, poison, and ice.
"Thank you Daoist Ma. I'm very satisfied with this knife. I'll treat you to a drink another day."
After Guo Huai cupped his fists, he hurriedly left with Li Ling'er. At this time, the city gate of Yicheng had just opened. Guo Huai and Li Ling'er left the city gate and flew in the direction of Yuqing Sect at high speed.
The two of them went all out. After flying for two days, Guo Huai suddenly saw a small tail following behind. He knew something was wrong. This was either the Sheng family or the city lord's palace pursuers.
Guo Huai lowered his cloud head and quickly set up a concealment formation on the ground, saying: "Ling'er, hide here first. If I don't come back to find you in three days, just return to Yuqing Sect by yourself."
"Sect Master, it's me who has caused trouble for you!"
Li Ling'er couldn't help crying.
"Don't be stupid. Things here are very complicated and it's not just your problem. Don't think too much about it and remember what I just said."
After Guo Huai finished speaking, he turned around and quickly flew across the ground, flying towards the west.
About an hour later, a very fast shuttle caught up with him, and someone inside shouted loudly: "Guo Huai, you can't escape. If you know what's going on, hand over Li Ling'er, and we will let you live."
Guo Huai no longer ran away blindly. He stood firm in the sky and said disdainfully: "You guys want to keep your Grandpa Guo. I think you are tired of living."
