Um?
City Lord Duanmu frowned slightly. This action made Pei Ling hold his breath subconsciously, and involuntarily touched the handle of the knife at his waist.
Fortunately, the next moment, the city lord stretched his brows, and said slowly: "It's also the same reason. I came out of thousands of miles, and I can't return empty-handed... Well, after all, you juniors are all on my territory. If so , this time, I will do it for you.”
As he spoke, he ordered the left and right, "It's good to serve Xiaoyou Pei."
Before the voice fell, it had turned into a breeze and disappeared.
After only a cup of tea, the city lord went back and forth, and threw two bloody monsters in front of Pei Ling: "Little friend Pei, the one on the left is just a peach blossom demon, and the one on the right is a purple-eyed marten, can you check it out?"
Pei Ling swallowed, forced a smile and said, "City Master, I'm just a new student at the fourth level of Qi training, I don't know anything..."
"It's all right." The city lord said with a pleasant smile, "Just take the nameplate and check it. If it's wrong, I'll go again."
Pei Ling was a hundred thousand reluctant, but being watched by this Foundation Establishment cultivator, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take out the nameplate.
It's just that after taking out the nameplate, he doesn't know what to do?
"Little friend, if you smear the nameplate with the blood of the monster, you will know whether it is required for the mission." City Lord Duanmu saw it and reminded him.
However, after Pei Ling took the blood of two monsters and smeared it, the nameplate did not respond!
He was overjoyed, and quickly said: "City Master, it seems that I made a mistake. But I dare not bother you to go again, I'd better go by myself!"
"How could it be?" Duanmu City Lord was startled when he heard the words. He just showed Pei Lingyan, but it was just a show. After all, as the Luoshan City Lord, he knew better than anyone else how to control the monsters around him.
Even if you close your eyes, you can't make a mistake.
Thinking of this, he frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something, "Little friend Pei, did you not accept the mission?"
"Accept the mission?" Pei Ling asked blankly, "How to accept the mission? Senior Brother Chen keeps saying that I am with Senior Sister Chen, and the mission is to send you a letter and the Peach Blossom Demon?"
City Lord Duanmu sighed: "That's right! Xiaoyou Pei, you are new to the sect, so it's no wonder you don't understand. The missions of the Holy Sect need to be accepted on the spot with a nameplate in the Miscellaneous Committee, and then the rewards can be settled. Like Xiaoyou, everything I just came out without doing anything, and when I go back, unless I make a special trip to Shuwutang, it won’t count.”
Speaking of this, he showed a puzzled look, "I think Chen Xiaoyou and the others treat you very well, and you also respect them very much. It is said that they are also veterans of missions. Why didn't they remind you?"
Why?
Because those bastards came out this time just to kill me, so why waste such tricks?
Pei Ling's heart was clear, but he followed the words of City Lord Duanmu and said blankly, "Yes, why?"
"Maybe it's because they were too eager to refine the soul-calling banner." Duanmu City Lord smiled when he heard the words, and said slowly, "After all, the soul-calling banner is expensive and requires a lot of living souls and flesh and blood. It is a young man like Pei Xiaoyou. It takes at least dozens of talented talents to ensure that the soul-calling flag becomes a high-grade talisman... Maybe it's because of this, they rushed out to do the task, so they didn't bother to explain the ins and outs to the little friend."
"Anyway, it's not too troublesome to make up the formalities after going back."
"Now that Xiaoyou Chen and the others are gone, it's good for Xiaoyou Pei to go to the General Affairs Hall by himself."
"...Yes." Pei Ling pondered for a while, with shock, astonishment, deep thought, stunned, anger, relief, melancholy and other emotions showing on his face successively, and his tone quickly dropped, "Thank you, the city lord, for your guidance!"
Duanmu City Lord smiled kindly: "You and I are both members of the Shengzong sect, and we are both members of our own family, so there is no need to treat others like this."
He pointed to the two monsters in front of him, "Then Xiaoyou Pei should hurry up and take them back to the sect. Don't forget to report the incident to the deacon hall immediately after you go back, and then go to the general affairs hall to complete the formalities."
"City Lord." Pei Ling really didn't want to go back to face Li Siguang's family members at this time, hesitated for a while, bit the bullet and politely refused again, "I'll do it for you, the City Lord, it's just... Although Senior Brother Chen died in a beast kiss, the other senior brothers and sisters... ...Maybe they are still outside the city? Since we came out together, I wonder if we should wait for them? Maybe, there will be news about them tomorrow or the next day, or in a few days?"
Duanmu City Lord fell silent for a while.
Pei Ling forced himself to be calm: "If you bother the city lord too much, I'll go to the inn..."
"What did you say?" City Lord Duanmu laughed suddenly, and interrupted, "I've said it all, we are our own people, how can there be any reason to stay in the inn instead of staying in the big guest house of the City Lord's Mansion? I thought, I was negligent about this matter. How about this, I will order it later and let the Luoshan City guards go out of the city to search. If they are injured and in distress, how about helping them?"
Speaking of this, Pei Ling could only shed tears of gratitude: "How can I wait for such an open-minded and benevolent elder of the sect like the city lord!"
What the hell, maybe this old guy was reminded by Lao Tzu to send guards to silence him overnight, right?
This guess was verified after half a day: in the evening of this day, Pei Ling, who had been up and down in the guest courtyard for a long time, was invited to the main hall again.
As soon as he entered, he saw City Lord Duanmu's expression of grief, and his heart suddenly lifted.
Sure enough, the old guy suppressed his sobs in the next moment and said: "My condolences to Xiaoyou Pei, the guards brought back some stumps just now, after being identified by the assistant and confirmed by the housekeeper, the few friends other than Chen Xiaoyou, I'm afraid they all... "
Pei Ling felt ashamed for a moment and asked his concubine: How can I continue to stay in Luoshan City now? ? ?
"Little friend, the deceased is already dead, please take care!" Seeing his grief-stricken look, Duanmu City Lord secretly praised him as a formidable young man, and quickly cooperated with his persuasion, "You and Chen Xiaoyou are kind to each other, presumably their spirits in heaven will not I can't bear to see you feel so sad for them... By the way, apart from the stumps, some of their relics were also found at the scene, and these things should be kept by you when the time comes, it can be regarded as a thought."
"No, no, no!" Pei Ling, who had been immersed in grief, woke up instantly, her hands almost shaking, "City Lord, calm down! My cultivation base is low, my morals are low, how can I be worthy of keeping the relics of my brothers and sisters? Those things It must be held by the city lord! The city lord does not accept it, but looks down on us Qi training monks!"
City Lord Duanmu smiled, and said gently: "You don't have to be like this. Although those things are common, they are the belongings of your senior brothers and sisters. They should be handed over to you."
Seeing that he deliberately emphasized "ordinary", Pei Ling was still uneasy and refused sternly, refusing to accept it desperately. In the end, Duanmu City Lord asked for all the things to be brought up, and he saw that the ebony lacquer plate was full of tattered things Son, the only thing of more value is the three qi and blood pills and five low-grade spirit stones in a small porcelain bottle.
... This old guy is so dark!
"Since that's the case..." Pei Ling cursed angrily in his heart, not to mention anything else, just Chen Huan casually gave him a Qi and Blood Pill on the Yin Corpse Cloud, how could the relics of the five people be so spicy.
The old guy not only took away the most valuable soul-calling banner, but also swallowed all the remaining benefits, and sent him off with some leftovers!
It just doesn't make sense!
How can I be so angry! ! !
Thinking so, Pei Ling said without any hesitation, "The city lord said: Human-faced spiders are ferocious by nature. If it weren't for the city tyrant Bo Yuntian, I would have lost my life on this trip! As the saying goes, the parents who gave birth to me, City Lord who saved me from fire and water! This kindness and kindness will never be forgotten!"
