Since it was a banquet on the second night, Shen Xia and the others went out for a walk during the day. Of course, the servants from the Tao Mansion accompanied them throughout the whole process, and they were called guides for Shen Xia and the others.

Shen Xia and the others did not refuse. It seemed that they really just came to Yong'an City to stay for a few days. The four of them walked around here and there. When they came back, everyone except Shen Xia was carrying big bags.

In the evening, Tao Kangping prepared the carriage early, picked up Shen Xia and others and rushed to the city lord's mansion.

When she arrived at the city lord's mansion, she saw two people sitting at the dining table besides the middle-aged man sitting at the head table. Shen Xia knew that this was not a simple meal.

As Shen Xia expected, the other two were Li Pei, an outer disciple of Tianji Hall and the head of the Li family, and He Fanghong, an outer disciple of the Wuji Sect and the head of the He family.

"This must be Master Shen, right?" The deputy city lord came up and bowed to Shen Xia, "Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. The presence of Master Shen today really makes the city lord's mansion shine!"

"Deputy City Lord Guo, nice to meet you." Shen Xia also bowed.

Shen Xia and the others were four people, as were Deputy City Lord Guo and the others, so Shen Xia naturally took the position of host and guest. Mo Li was the second guest, Wen Nian was the third guest, and Lin You was the fourth guest.

At the same time, Deputy City Lord Guo is the main escort, Tao Kangping is the deputy escort, Li Pei is the third escort, and He Fanghong is the fourth escort.

This just confirms what Tao Kangping said, it is a lie to say that the City Lord's Mansion is close to anyone. The three families and the City Lord's Mansion have a mutually reinforcing relationship. Furthermore, they are already a community of interests.

Regarding the arrival of Shen Xia, an "outsider" with the Tianguan Sect's identity, they are now a united front. They should fool around and don't cause any ripples because of Shen Xia, a small pebble.

As expected, after the meal, they were constantly testing Shen Xia and the others as to why they came to Yong'an City. After Shen Xia repeatedly affirmed that they were just passing through to stay for a few days, Deputy City Master Guo and the others were still worried and pretended to take care of them. Shen Xia's excuse for the daily life of the four people was that two people would be transferred from the city lord's mansion.

In addition, Vice City Lord Guo and the other three families also prepared rich "specialties" for the four of Shen Xia. You don't need to open them to know that the specialties inside are probably various gemstones, magic weapons and spiritual stones.

Shen Xia didn't refuse, and accepted them one by one with a smile. If you have money, you won't accept idiots. Besides, his mission has been completed gloriously. Although he doesn't know what Mo Li and the others plan, there has been no movement since they entered the city. .

You can't trick Lin You by yourself. Mo Li and Wen Nian definitely didn't tell Lin You about their plans. It is estimated that Lin You came out this time, just like me, with a pendant.

By the time the dinner was over, it was already 20:00. Shen Xia and his party declined the invitation to take a carriage back to Tao Mansion, saying that they had never seen the night view of Yong'an City and wanted to take this opportunity to take a stroll - of course it was still Several attendants followed behind them.

"There is no city lord's palace." Mo Li, who was walking next to Shen Xia, said this without thinking.

"Nothing?" Shen Xia hasn't reacted yet.

"There is nothing I am looking for, including the city lord who has never appeared, and it may not be in the city lord's mansion." The two were communicating with each other using spiritual power, so no one could hear their conversation except each other at this time.

"What are you looking for..." Shen Xia asked, feeling a little presumptuous. "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. I'm just curious."

Mo Li was silent for a while before saying: "Eyes."

"Ah?" Shen Xia was really surprised. Looking for eyes? What means?

"I...the one who made the family's fortune at the beginning, some parts of his body were stolen after his death. I am trying my best to recover them. What was stolen in Yong'an City was the eyes."

"So, Yong'an City's abundant spiritual energy, and even Yong'an City's luck, were stolen?" If it is true, then who is Mo Li's ancestor? Immortal? But I haven’t heard anything in books or heard from others about the death of immortals in the world of immortality. This is considered big news.

"I'm worried about more than that," Mo Li looked at the pedestrians walking on both sides of the road, "If they use those eyes to do bad things, it will be really troublesome..."

"Actually, you don't need to tell me." Shen Xia said. If more people know about this kind of thing, there will be more risks. Looking at Mo Li's behavior, Lin You definitely doesn't know. As a "face-spurring" existence in the team, there is no need to know so much.

Mo Li shook his head: "No, Xia Xia, I believe you."

Shen Xia was panicked, she looked so much like Lin Yueying, especially when Mo Li called her "Xia Xia". The two were already very similar, and Shen Xia still had a lot of doubts in her heart. When Mo Li said this, Shen Xia froze on the spot.

"What's wrong?" Mo Li's hand unconsciously went to hold Shen Xia, but when it was about to touch, he quickly pulled it back.

Shen Xia seemed not to notice Mo Li's little moves, and smiled and said, "It's okay, I suddenly remembered an old friend. If I have the chance, I would like to take a walk with her on this road to admire the moon."

Mo Li didn't answer Shen Xia's words, and the two of them looked at each other in silence and walked all the way back to Tao Mansion.

There were too many food stalls at the night market. Lin You ate all the way while Wen Nian followed behind to pay. He had no choice but to worry more about whether this junior brother would cause any trouble than the two people taking a leisurely stroll in front of him.

After spending another two days playing in Tao Mansion and Yong'an City, Shen Xia really thought that everyone was just visiting Yong'an City.

Shen Xia was taking a nap that day when she suddenly felt someone sneaking into the room. Shen Xia seemed to be still sleeping, but she was already holding Feiqiongdi tightly in her hand.

The moment she felt the man's breath lingering beside the bed, Shen Xia lifted herself up from the bed, picked up the Feiqiong flute in her hand, and thrust it towards the man. She has carefully investigated before. Among the people she has contacted so far, the deputy city lord has a higher cultivation level than herself. The highest combat power in Tao Mansion is also Tao Kangping, but he is in the middle stage of foundation building, so Shen Xia doesn't think she will sneak in here secretly. The "visitor" in the room is deflated.

Unexpectedly, the man was extremely fast. Not only did he avoid Shen Xia's blow, he also directly held Shen Xia's wrist and pressed Shen Xia on the bed.

"Sister Lin?" Shen Xia used the faint light emitted from the Yuqiong flute to see clearly the appearance of the visitor. It was Mo Li. But in such a dim scene and the close distance between the two, Shen Xia couldn't help but Lin Yueying's name was called out.

"It's me," Mo Li leaned on Shen Xia and whispered, "We found the eyeball. Before we act, I'm here to ask you, do you want to come with me to have a look?"

When Shen Xia was waiting for her reaction, she had already been led by Mo Li and flew out of the Tao Mansion. She didn't know whether Mo Li's words "It's me" were acknowledging that she was Lin Yueying or telling Shen Xia that she was Mo Li, but Shen Xia's guess has been initially confirmed.
