"Stomp, stomp!"
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, the sound of hooves could be heard, attracting the attention of the crowd. A group of fiery red horses pulled an incomparably luxurious carriage and stopped in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
The owner of the carriage did not say anything, but the guards guarding the gate of the City Lord's Estate did not dare to be negligent. They hurriedly went to inform the City Lord. They did not know what had happened in the restaurant. As small figures, it was most important for them to do their duty well.
However, just by looking at the carriage, they knew that the person sitting inside must have a great background. If they were negligent, losing their jobs was a small matter. If they were not careful, they might even lose their lives.
In the garden of the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, hundreds of flowers were blooming. It was very beautiful. In the center of the garden was a pond with a fake mountain. There were a few rich bamboos growing on the mountain. Around the mountain were cute little fish swimming freely under the warm sunlight. Beside the pond was an elegant and simple pavilion. At this moment, a beautiful woman was sitting there in a daze. If one looked closely, one would find that there was a faint worry on her beautiful face.
"City Lord, City Lord, there's a luxurious carriage parked outside the door. However, the person in the carriage did not say anything. This lowly one did not dare to be negligent, so I came to ask the City Lord for instructions!”The guard rushed to the side of the pavilion and respectfully said. Then, he described the appearance of the carriage.
At this moment, the female city lord came back to her senses, and the worry on her face disappeared. She looked at the guard and said," A luxurious carriage? Could it be him? What is he doing here?" As the City Lord, how could he hide the big and small matters in the city from her? Of course, she knew what happened in the restaurant.
"Let's go, follow this City Lord to take a look!" Although she said that, after the female city lord stood up, she disappeared in a few steps, causing the guard to shake his head repeatedly.
The luxurious carriage was still waiting in front of the City Lord's Mansion. No sound came from the carriage, but the guards did not dare to ask. This was the rule. The rule of this continent was that the strong were respected. Those who had strength and power had everything. Those who did not have either could only look up. These guards of the City Lord's Mansion were like this. In the eyes of ordinary people, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were a symbol of status and strength. However, only they knew that in the face of true experts and nobles, they could only bow and kneel. He even had to speak carefully.
The gates of the City Lord's Estate slowly opened, and the beautiful City Lord walked out. She immediately saw the luxurious carriage in front of the door, and she frowned. She didn't know what the other party was doing here.
"Why have you come to my City Lord's Estate?”The female castellan asked. Her tone was cold, and she had a dignified aura. This was determined by her strength and status. How could she be an ordinary person who could become an important city like Yagran City?
Yagran City was a checkpoint between the human continent and the Magical Beast Continent. It had to be constantly on guard against the invasion of Magical Beasts. The person who could lead a city to fight against the Magical Beast Army must be the strongest and also have outstanding talent. One could imagine how a boorish man could lead a city to defend the city. One could imagine that this female city lord was definitely a top-notch figure in terms of intelligence and strength.
However, no one in the quiet carriage answered her. Just as she was about to lose her patience, an indifferent voice sounded," You're very sad!”It was just a few simple words, but it shocked the female city lord.
"Am I too worried to do your business? May I ask what business you have with my City Lord's Estate?”At this moment, the female city lord's expression was not too good. She did not know how the person in the carriage could see through her heart, but she had already appeared, and the other party was still sitting in the carriage without even revealing his face. This was clearly looking down on her.
Of course, she knew about the commotion Wu Hen had caused in the restaurant, and she did not ignore him. She thought that he was an expert, and she even ordered the guards of the City Lord's Estate to give him convenience if they could. However, doing this did not mean that she was afraid, nor did it mean that she would curry favor with him.
As the City Lord, she had supreme power and powerful cultivation. She did not need to curry favor with anyone. Even if she arrived at the Imperial City, the Emperor would treat her with courtesy.
"You're right. It's indeed none of my business!”The person in the carriage said. Then, a bag flew out from the carriage and landed in the female city lord's hand.
"I need a quiet place to stay for the time being. I don't want anyone to disturb me!”
Looking at her pocket, she saw that it was filled with purple coins. At this moment, the female city lord laughed. She laughed out of anger. In all her years as a city lord, she had never seen such an arrogant person.
She sneered and said," I know that Your Excellency is powerful and may come from a powerful force. But what do you take me for? What do you take the City Lord's Estate for?!"”
"Why do you think it's too little?" Wu Hen in the carriage frowned and said.
The female castellan shook her head." No, these purple coins are more than enough. However, in this world, money doesn't mean you can do anything. Your Excellency doesn't even want to show your face. You just threw a bag of money and want me, the castellan, to do something for you. You're looking down on me!”
"Then what do you want!" Of course, Wu Hen knew what this female City Lord was thinking, but he really didn't care about a small City Lord's Mansion. If it wasn't for traveling, he wouldn't have bothered to talk nonsense. Perhaps many people didn't understand Wu Hen's thoughts.
In the eyes of the world, only those who returned to their original state and did not look down on the weak were truly strong. Wuhen only sneered at this. The so-called returning to their original state was only to the point where they could control their mana at will. Only a true top-notch expert would not deliberately control it. Sometimes, a top-notch expert would have to make himself look like a mortal. If he deliberately did that, it would seem pretentious. As an expert, he still had to control all this. Then, what was the point of cultivating? If he couldn't do whatever he wanted, what right did he have to call himself a top-notch expert? This was also the reason why Wu Hen despised those who came up with the idea of returning to their original state and pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
People of different levels might seem amiable to everyone, but that was only on the surface. Could a Sage sit on the same level as a Jindan Stage cultivator? This was completely impossible.
"Then what do you want!" Although he was very impatient, Wu Hen was not angry. His own opinion could not refute the opinions of others.
"How about this? I don't want the money. I just need you to help me once when Yagran City is in danger!" The female castellan thought for a while and said.”
"Sure, but only when I return Yagran City!”In the carriage, Wu Hen agreed without hesitation.
At this moment, the female City Lord smiled and said," I believe that with your status, you won't go back on your word. This is the token for a courtyard on the west side of the City Lord's Estate. Go there immediately!"”After saying that, she threw the token and the bag of purple coins into the carriage.
"Let's go!" After receiving the token, the luxurious carriage left the city lord's mansion and headed toward the west street.
"Hmph, you will regret it, but even if you regret it, with your status, you will probably grit your teeth and admit it!”In front of the city lord's mansion, the female city lord said with a smile, as if some scheme had succeeded. However, a worried expression appeared on her face again.
