Seeing that the person had been scared away, Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing came to Qing Ruxu.

Lin Hao greeted, "Senior Sister Qing, long time no see."

Qing Ruxu was a little confused. She looked carefully and confirmed that she had never seen the other person before. She asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"

Lin Hao also remembered at this time that he and his senior brother were still in disguise, so it was normal that Senior Sister Qing could not recognize them.

"Senior Sister Qing, I am Lin Hao."

Lin Jinxing also nodded and said, "Lin Jinxing."

Qing Ruxu suddenly realized, "You used the Disguise Pill, right?"

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Yes, we don't want to be too high-profile when we go out."

Qing Ruxu also understood, and now she regretted not disguising herself before going out.

"Thank you guys for what I just did. I just had a problem with my flying magic weapon, so I wanted to find a nearby weapon refiner to fix it, but I didn't expect to run into something like this."

After hearing this, Lin Hao asked, "So how long does it take to repair the magic weapon?"

Qing Ruxu smiled bitterly and said, "It will take about five days."

Lin Hao glanced at Lin Jinxing. "Senior Brother..."

Although Lin Hao didn't say the following words, Lin Jinxing already understood what he meant. He also agreed with his junior brother's idea and nodded.

After receiving his brother's affirmation, Lin Hao said, "Then my brother and I will stay here together for the next few days to prevent that person from harassing you again."

Hearing Lin Hao say this, Qing Ruxu showed a grateful look and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you."

Lin Hao waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Senior Sister Qing treated me a lot back then in Cang Hai Wu Ya. This is just a small matter now."

Seeing this, Qing Ruxu smiled faintly without any more politeness.

She led the two to the inn where she was staying and rented two rooms for them.

On the other side, Qing Ruxu's father, who had escaped, looked unwillingly in the direction of Qing Ruxu, and then a vicious idea came to his mind.

Since you don't care about the relationship between father and daughter, don't blame me for my hard work!

Do you really think it’s so easy to get out of Yuexi City once you enter?

Thinking of this, Xing Dai sneered and turned to walk towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion of Yuexi City, a middle-aged man at the top, with his head resting on his raised arms, looked casually at Xing Dai who was kneeling below.

"Even if that person has a few medicinal pills, so what? Why are you telling me about it?"

As he finished speaking, murderous intent gradually filled the city lord's eyes.

Xing Dai, who was kneeling below, was trembling with cold sweat dripping down his body. He was a little regretful now, he shouldn't have been so reckless.

Although this city lord often bullies men and women and steals property.

But he is not stupid after all. He did those things very secretly, and he usually targeted those who had low cultivation and no backing.

If he hadn't heard it by accident one time, he would never have thought that the city lord was doing such things in private.

Although Xing Dai was kneeling and could not see the city lord's expression at the moment, he could feel the increasingly strong murderous aura.

No! We must find a way!

At this moment, Xing Dai's eyes suddenly lit up. He lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "If it were just a few pills, I would not have specifically reported it to the city lord. But the city lord doesn't know that although that person has not yet reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage, he can refine fifth-grade pills."

The Lord of Yuexi City became interested, sat up straight and asked, "Are you telling the truth? What's the evidence?"

Xing Dai saw that something was going on and said quickly, "To be honest, the person I'm talking about is my biological daughter."

"Oh?" The Lord of Yuexi City asked in a critical manner, "Since she is your daughter, why did you tell me that she is a fifth-grade alchemist?"

Xing Dai lowered his head so that his expression could not be seen clearly, but the suspicion in the eyes of the Lord of Yuexi City was not concealed.

Xing Dai naturally heard the suspicion in the other party's tone and said, "To be honest, this is also a scandal. When that girl's mother was having an affair with someone else and I caught her, she teamed up with the adulterer to destroy my cultivation.

I originally wanted to take my daughter away with me, but I never expected that when my daughter saw that I was completely useless, she immediately ran to recognize the thief as her father, and even joined forces with her mother to frame me.

When I met my daughter again today, I wanted her to leave me two healing pills because I was her biological father. But that unfilial daughter turned the tables and said that I was the one who betrayed her mother. She refused to give me the pills no matter what and even teamed up with outsiders to beat me up. "

Having said that, Xing Dai wiped away his non-existent tears with his sleeves.

The Lord of Yuexi City was not very moved after hearing Xing Dai's explanation.

He then asked, "Since your daughter is a fifth-rank alchemist, the sect behind her must be very powerful, right? I am just a small city lord, and I cannot offend those big sects just to get a few pills back for you."

Xing Dai's body stiffened. He naturally couldn't tell the truth. Qing Ruxu was the daughter of the master of Wenling Peak of Wandao Sect, otherwise the city lord would never touch her.

Xing Dai raised his head and said with a flattering smile, "How can my daughter have any sect behind her? It's just that her mother's lover is a disciple of Mu Yuanshan, so she can achieve such success."

"Really? Then go down first. I'll arrange for a maid to take you to a side room to rest. Don't worry, if what you said is true, I will definitely ask your daughter to return a few pills for you."

After saying this, the Lord of Yuexi City called a maid to come forward and take Xing Dai away.

After hearing what the city lord said, Xing Dai knew that the matter was half done. He humbly bowed to the city lord of Yuexi City to express his gratitude, and then followed the maid out.

You could still tell he was in a good mood when he left, as if he didn't care at all about putting his own daughter in danger.

That was true. As long as the city lord gave him the few pills he promised, what would Qingxu's life or death have to do with him?

After Xing Dai left, one of his subordinates stepped forward and asked, "Is his daughter really a fifth-rank alchemist?"

The Lord of Yuexi City snorted coldly: "I guess so. Since he has reached the Nascent Soul stage, he must be a fourth-grade alchemist at the very least. A fourth-grade alchemist, even if there is a little risk, it's worth it to get him."

The subordinate still asked hesitantly: "But what if the alchemist has a backer?"

The Lord of Yuexi City had no such concerns. He said nonchalantly, "Backer? At most it's Mu Yuanshan, although Mu Yuanshan is not to be offended. But don't forget how far this place is from Mu Yuanshan. If we lock him up in the underground secret room, where can Mu Yuanshan's people go to investigate?"

"But..." The City Lord of Yuexi City continued, "You still have to check to see if what the old man said just now is true. Are he and the alchemist father and daughter? Also, check to see if he has any relationship with the Wandao Sect. If he is from the Wandao Sect, let him go. If he is from Mu Yuanshan, find a chance to arrest him!"

The subordinate clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
