I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

Perhaps because of the matter of renting Yunqi Terrace, the attitude of the Xuanshui Clan cultivators has obviously improved a lot.

Even on the way to see the city lord, he gave some advice:

"The City Lord is very dissatisfied with what you did this time. If everyone behaved like you, wouldn't the Eternal Domain be in chaos?"

"It's only because my Xuanshui Clan is so magnanimous that we're giving you this chance to make amends. If it were in Yancheng, I'm afraid the Yancheng City Lord would have captured you long ago."

"Especially you... Ning Ruan, if I remember correctly, you had some unpleasantness with the Shadow Clan and the Flame Clan, right?"

"In short, if you behave better this time, as long as you make up for the losses, the city lord might not mind it."

Ning Ruan likes people who can be dealt with by money.

It just so happens that she is not short of money.

soon.

Several people met the lord of Xuanshui City.

This is a middle-aged man with a handsome and elegant appearance and a calm temperament. His appearance is the same as Shui Ling'er, and both are very consistent with the human race.

He sat upright on the jade throne, his eyes first fixed on the Nine-tailed female cultivator following closely behind Ning Ruan:

"Aren't you hiding in Jiao City? Why did you come to my Xuanshui City to cause trouble?"

The Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator spread her hands and said, "My Lord City Lord, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean to cause trouble."

She raised her hand and pointed at Ning Ruan: "I accepted her things and am now her bodyguard. My employer is about to be killed. How can I just ignore it?"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Xuanshui City couldn't help but sneer, "I didn't know that the Wuyin Bandits would be so honest about their promises."

"She can hire you and even rent two Yunqi Terraces at the same time, and you're not tempted at all?"

"..."

The Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator smiled on the surface, but was cursing in her heart.

The old guy from the Xuanshui clan is indeed full of evil intentions.

He started to provoke me right in front of me.

She smiled and replied, "The City Lord may have misunderstood me. Although I am a bandit of the boundless, I was forced to take this path. I haven't done anything wrong in Jiao City over the years, right?"

"I definitely wouldn't do something like this that would betray my employer."

The city lord chuckled twice, clearly not believing what he said. "Where's that old wolf? Isn't he serving as your guard?"

"..."

Lao Lang has been dead for several days. Otherwise, why would I be so hardworking and uncomplaining as a guard and not dare to betray him at all?

The Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator laughed and said, "I'm not his Taoist companion, how would I know where he went?"

The city lord nodded with a half-smile, and finally stopped asking the Nine-tailed female cultivator any more questions.

He turned his gaze towards Ning Ruan, his eyes narrowed slightly, "You are the human Ning Ruan, no wonder you are ranked fifty-sixth on the Tianjiao list."

"But you don't take my Xuanshui clan seriously enough."

"You even dare to kidnap the genius of my clan, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Ruan corrected him, "Don't talk nonsense. The City Lord is talking about Shui Ling'er, right? When did I ever kidnap her? She came with me on her own accord. She wants to go with me, so you can't blame me, right?"

"But you guys seem to have taken her away. Did she leave willingly?"

"If not, you have to let her go."

City Lord: “???”

For the first time, an expression of disbelief and shock appeared on that seemingly elegant face.

The Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator was equally shocked.

He sent a frantic message to Ning Ruan: "No, you are the anti-Tian Gang!"

"What tribe is he from? What tribe is Shui Ling'er from? Who did you ask him to release?"

"Ning Ruan, don't underestimate him because he has a good temper. He speaks so arrogantly. I really can't beat him."

"If he really attacks, you can only rely on the senior behind you to save you."

Ning Ruan didn't reply.

She was looking at the Lord of Xuanshui City in front of her with a very serious expression.

The other party was choked by her "righteous" words for a long time. It took him a long time to find his voice, and his tone was a bit absurd:

"...You mean that my Xuanshui tribe shouldn't take our own people away, but should return her to you?"

"It's not about returning her." Ning Ruan corrected, "It's about respecting her own choice. I brought her here. If you take her away by force, it's inappropriate."

The city lord laughed angrily: "Interesting, really interesting."

The city lord slowly stood up, waves swirling around him, and an invisible pressure spread out: "Ning Ruan, do you know where the last person who dared to speak to me like this is now?"

Ning Ruan blinked: "Where is it?"

The city lord remained silent. His aura suddenly surged, and a terrifying pressure like a mountain pressed down on Ning Ruan.

Along with the pressure, there was also an extremely condensed water arrow that seemed to be able to penetrate everything. It carried a heart-pounding aura of destruction and headed straight for Ning Ruan.

"..."

The Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator didn't even think twice before gritting her teeth and standing up to resist with all her might.

At the same time, he was desperately sending a message, "Ning Ruan, quickly get the senior behind you to take action!"

"I can't hold it any longer."

Actually, I can hold on a little longer.

But only for a moment.

After a while, if that strong man didn't take action, the Lord of Xuanshui City would be able to kill them all by himself.

I thought it was just a simple matter of paying money and being done with it.

Who could have thought that they would actually start fighting?

The Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator has begun to regret. How could she have gotten involved with a freak like Ning Ruan?

Ning Ruan still didn't respond.

She is choosing at the moment.

What to choose?

Of course, it was the small gift I received after my last hasty meeting with my third father.

Otherwise, why could she be so calm?

But there was more than one gift, and it was difficult for her to choose.

Just when the Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator was about to collapse, Ning Ruan finally spoke:

"found it."

“???” We are almost dead. Why are you still looking for something instead of asking the strong man behind you to take action?

The Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator was just about to turn around and curse when she saw Ning Ruan take out a scroll of... a painting from her storage belt?

It was a scroll that looked quite ancient, made of unknown material, with a faint shimmering light.

But it’s still a painting!

"You want to give it to the city lord? If you had taken it out and given it to him earlier and said something nice, would he still have taken action?"

Painting is fine too!

Since we can't win, then apologizing is indeed a solution.

The old guys in Xuanshui City had no intention of killing them, they just wanted to teach them a lesson.

Sending a picture might really help!

The Nine-Tailed Female Cultivator had a good idea.

Then she saw Ning Ruan unfold the scroll with a flick of her wrist...
