Reborn as an abandoned daughter, she became a stunning genius

Jiang Ning glanced at the other guards who had flown away, walked up to Chen Ke, and asked, "What does City Lord Chen want from me?"

"After daybreak, please ask Guard Luo to accompany me out of the city."

"doing what?"

"The guards will naturally know when they get to Luo."

"I guess City Lord Chen is here because of the beast tide." Jiang Ning pointed out directly.

"How did Guard Luo know?" Chen Ke squinted his eyes with unclear emotions.

"I guess. To be honest, I don't believe there is any spiritual weapon in the world that can control beasts. If there is, then its owner only needs to rely on this spiritual weapon to conquer at least one country, not to mention unifying the martial arts continent. It’s absolutely fine, instead of staying in Li City and being a city lord with no real power.”

When Jiang Ning said this, his face was full of confidence and pride, as if he was the only smart person in the world who had seen through Li Cheng's hidden secrets.

Originally, Chen Ke was worried about Jiang Ning's sudden guess about the beast tide, but now that he heard Jiang Ning's guess, he instantly felt relieved.

Although he was disdainful, Chen Ke still pretended to compliment him, "Weiwei Luo is really talented and can hide nothing from you."

Hearing this compliment, Jiang Ning also raised his head and smiled, looking confident.

"After that daybreak..."

"It's just a beast tide, I'll take care of it." Jiang Ning promised, patting his chest, as if he had imagined in his heart that he would become the savior of Li City.

"Then thank you Luo Guard. After this matter is resolved, there will be a heavy reward." Chen Ke said.

"Wait, City Lord Chen, I don't want any heavy reward." Jiang Ning suddenly stopped Chen Ke who was about to leave.

"What do you want, Guard Luo?" Hearing Jiang Ning's rude tone, Chen Ke felt unhappy, but he still didn't show it.

"I want 50 taels of gold." Jiang Ning made his request directly.

"No." Chen Ke refused immediately.

Jiang Ning showed a helpless expression, "Well, in that case, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about the matter that City Lord Chen entrusted me with."

"You..." Seeing Jiang Ning being such a rogue, Chen Ke immediately became furious.

"City Master Chen, you are the City Master of Li City. It is impossible that you don't even have 50 taels of gold." Jiang Ning said casually, "To tell you the truth, City Master Chen, I have long guessed that the Beast Control Bell does not have the miraculous effect as rumored. When I come to your city lord's mansion as a guard, I'm waiting for this beast tide. You give me gold, and I'll help you deal with the beast tide. Can't we each get what we need?"

"Li Cheng doesn't have that much money." Chen Ke gritted his teeth.

As a well-known wealthy city, Licheng must have 50 taels of gold. The reason why Chen Ke said this was that he was still reluctant to part with so much money.

Jiang Ning had guessed it a long time ago and said, "Then I can help City Lord Chen write an IOU."

"Impossible." He was asked by the Lord of a city to write an IOU. If outsiders knew about it, where could he put his face?

"This won't work, that won't work either, City Lord Chen, why do I feel like you have no sincerity at all?" Jiang Ning said provocatively.

Seeing Jiang Ning being so presumptuous, Chen Ke wanted to immediately kill this person who dared to challenge his authority.

But no, the opponent's strength is at the same middle stage of Lingxuan as himself. If they fight, he is not sure whether he can beat the opponent.

In addition, the beast tide will attack Li City tomorrow, and he can't waste time here.

"Let's do this. I'll give you 10 taels of gold first, and I'll give you the rest slowly after the beast tide is over." Chen Ke thought in his mind that he would use 10 taels to send Jiang Ning away. When the beast tide was over, he would join forces again. Ten guards dealt with Luo Li together.

"There must be a mortgage, otherwise what will happen if City Master Chen doesn't admit the debt when I finish my work?" Jiang Ning pressed on.

"IOU is out of the question."

"Then use the Beast Taming Bell." Jiang Ning said his ultimate goal, "Anyway, the Beast Taming Bell is just a treasure in name only. City Lord Chen won't be reluctant to part with it."

Chen Ke fell into deep thought.

On one side is a beast-taming bell that has no effect in his hand, and on the other side is 50 taels of gold.

Which one is more important is obvious to Chen Ke.

What's more, he didn't really give her the beast-controlling bell. When the beast tide was over, he could just ask the top ten guards to snatch it back together.

"...Okay." In the end, Chen Ke agreed to Jiang Ning.

After getting the beast control bell, Jiang Ning nodded to Chen Ke, "Don't worry, City Master Chen, I will definitely solve the beast wave for you perfectly tomorrow."

Jiang Ning deliberately emphasized the last few words.

Like a hammer, it hit Chen Ke's heart one hammer after another.

"Weiwei Luo had better not disappoint me." After Chen Ke left these words, he turned around and left.

Chen Ke's personal guard had been listening to the conversation between the two. Seeing that Chen Ke was furious, he hurriedly said, "Lord City Lord, you just gave him the beast-taming bell. What if he ran away with the beast-taming bell?"

"Oh, there are restrictions on the beast-taming bell. No one can take it more than twenty miles away from Li City. If she dares to run away, I will cut her into thousands of pieces and let her die without a burial place." Chen Ke He said gloomily.

Early the next morning, when the sky was just getting dark, the guards around Chen Ke knocked on Jiang Ning's door.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Ning's voice was lazy and hoarse as if he had just woken up.

"Guard Luo, the city lord said it's time to leave." The guard stood at the door and said.

"Departure? Departure for what?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Guard Luo, you won't forget what you promised the Lord of the City last night, right?" the guard reminded.

"Oh, that thing, what did I think it was? Wait." Jiang Ning's voice came from the room.

About a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Ning, dressed neatly, opened the door.

When the guard at the door saw this, he immediately said, "Guard Luo, please follow me."

"Come on, hurry up, deal with me as soon as possible so that you can come back to bed early." Jiang Ning looked like he was impatient to be disturbed while sleeping.

Even though the guard was unhappy, he didn't dare to show it. After all, this man was a strong man in the middle stage of Lingxuan.

The guards led Jiang Ning through the city lord's mansion and soon arrived at Chen Ke's study.

Chen Ke waited in the study all morning. When he saw Jiang Ning, he felt so angry that he didn't even bother to pretend and ordered in a deep voice.

"Set off."

Chen Ke and Jiang Ning, together with dozens of guards from the city lord's palace, headed outside the city avoiding the sight of the crowd.

Arriving ten miles outside the city, Chen Ke said to Jiang Ning, "After a while, the beast tide will start. You just need to stop the beast tide here and don't let them disturb Li City."

Jiang Ning glanced at the quiet and boundless woods and said, "It doesn't look like a beast tide is going to happen. How can City Lord Chen be so sure that the beast tide is today."

"The dates when the beast tide occurs are all regular. As long as you grasp the rules, you can calculate the specific date of the beast tide." Chen Ke said impatiently.

"That's it." Jiang Ning nodded.
