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

Of course the city lord agreed.

Not to mention that his life was in their hands, based on the facts alone, he also agreed that the Silver Wing Clan should bear half the responsibility for this matter.

"Okay, I'll send someone to notify them."

The city lord agreed very quickly.

"Can you let me out first? I promise not to hit you again."

Even if you take action, you have to be fully prepared before you do it!

Otherwise, as long as this painting is there, no one can hurt Ning Ruan.

He now finally understood why the fox, who was obviously a bandit, was so devoted to Ning Ruan.

What moral commitment?

I'm afraid I was also sucked into this painting!

"I know the City Lord is anxious, but please don't be anxious." Ning Ruan said slowly, "I think it would be more appropriate for us to just talk like this."

"How much compensation do you want? Can you give me a figure?"

"Six thousand high-grade spirit stones."

The city lord finished speaking, and his voice suddenly became weaker. "What do you think?"

"So cheap?" Ning Ruan only replied with four words.

The city lord, who was afraid that the price he offered was too high and would cause the other party to kill him in anger, said: "..."

Is this still cheap?

He really didn't dare to ask for too much.

But this is a high-grade spirit stone!

Six thousand pieces, even if many ordinary cultivators could come up with them, they would have to bleed a lot of money and give up their original capital.

"Forget it, six thousand is six thousand." Ning Ruan cleared out an empty storage bag, and with a movement of his spiritual sense, he took out three thousand high-grade spirit stones and put them in.

He casually threw it to the monk who had led them.

"We can take an inventory on the spot." Ning Ruan said.

The other party was holding a storage bag with an extremely complicated expression.

When he thought about how he had reminded this group of people to be polite to the city lord so that the city lord would calm down, he felt extremely regretful.

It seems to be quite polite.

The city lord seemed to have calmed down.

But that's not what he meant.

How could they be so polite as to lock the city lord in the painting?

"There's nothing wrong with the spirit stone. The quality... is excellent, far exceeding the highest quality."

The monk answered silently.

With such good quality, the city lord would be so happy if he could be compensated properly.

The city lord was not happy at all at this moment.

The feeling of powerlessness of being trapped in the painting is too strong.

He was now like a useless person with no cultivation at all, weak and old, even breathing was very difficult.

He just wants to get out of this damn place!

Only those who have been here know the despair that comes with being here.

"Ning Ruan, can you let me out now?"

"Have you forgotten, City Lord? We still have one thing to resolve. Please come out after we resolve it."

……

The first thing Shui Yingxue did when she came back was to inquire about Ning Ruan's whereabouts.

When she learned that Ning Ruan had rented Yunqi Terrace in Xuanshui City again, she was choked and speechless.

After a long while, he looked at the tribesmen behind him and asked, "The human race has found more spirit crystal mines than our Xuanshui tribe?"

Tribe: "..."

"How is this possible? Even if the human race could find so many, they wouldn't be able to keep them."

"Ning Ruan..."

"Young Master, there's something wrong with Ning Ruan. From the moment she appeared until now, everything she's done has been wrong."

"Okay." Shui Yingxue nodded and stopped asking questions.

She is not stupid, how could she not see that something is wrong with Ning Ruan?

Which genius of the human race is not poor?

Only Ningruan can rent Yunqitai as soon as he arrives.

Also rent one and rent two.

Just based on this, there is something wrong with her!

Shui Yingxue sighed.

He went straight to the room where Shui Ling'er was imprisoned.

The tribesmen followed behind him and asked in confusion, "Isn't the young master going to see Ning Ruan?"

"Isn't the City Lord talking to her right now? I think he'll also mention Ling'er. If Ning Ruan is sensible, she'll persuade Ling'er to give up the idea of ​​going with her."

"If she doesn't know what's good for her..." Shui Yingxue's eyes darkened, and she instinctively wanted to say that she would make the other party know what's good for her.

But when she thought of Ning Ruan's reckless attitude in dealing with the Silver Wing Clan without caring about anything, she suddenly felt that she seemed to have no way to deal with Ning Ruan for the time being.

Unless the Xuanshui City Lord’s Mansion takes action directly.

Maybe it can scare Ning Ruan a little?

Shui Ling'er was imprisoned for a long time.

Although he didn't make a big fuss, as soon as he saw Shui Yingxue, he stared at her with his clear and innocent eyes.

"Sister Yingxue, I want to find Ning Ruan."

"I want to cook for her."

"I promised her."

Shui Yingxue covered her chest, feeling a sense of depression blocking her heart, unable to go up or down.

She looked at the innocent-looking, stubborn girl in front of her, and she wanted to pry open her head to see what she was pretending to be.

"Ling'er, wake up!"

Shui Yingxue's voice was a little weak, "Ning Ruan doesn't need you anymore! She already has a cook by her side, a mermaid! She asked him to leave in public."

When Shui Ling'er heard this, her clear eyes were not discouraged at all, but instead ignited with an even stronger fire:

"Then I must go even more. The chefs at Lingtanfang have all said that I'm very talented in cooking. I'm a genius, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm worse than others."

You are mentally retarded!

Shui Yingxue was almost laughing out of anger, "Shui Ling'er, you are the destiny of my Xuanshui clan. In terms of talent, even I am far inferior to you, but this is cultivation talent, not cooking skills!"

"What are you so proud of?"

Just as she was thinking about whether she should take tougher measures, such as directly ordering the tribe members to send this guy back to the tribe, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

The city lord's confidant was standing at the door at this moment, with an expression that was difficult to describe in words. He nodded at the two of them.

"Is there something wrong?" Shui Yingxue asked directly.

The confidant was silent for a moment, nodded, but turned his gaze to Shui Ling'er and said in a strange tone: "Young Master Ling'er, the City Lord... the City Lord wants you to come over."

Shui Yingxue and Shui Ling'er were both stunned.

"The city lord is looking for me?" Shui Ling'er blinked, with confusion in her eyes.

Shui Yingxue's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt an ominous premonition, "What did the City Lord do when he saw Ling'er?"

Even if we talked about Ling'er, couldn't we just warn Ning Ruan directly?

Is it necessary to meet?

The confidant wanted to speak but stopped.

Shui Yingxue frowned and was about to speak when a figure suddenly appeared behind her.

She looked like a beautiful woman, but just by the fact that she could appear here silently, one could tell that she had a very high level of cultivation.

She looked at Shui Yingxue, then turned to her confidant and said, "Shui Qianyun's aura has disappeared. Is something wrong with him?"

Without waiting for her confidant to answer, she muttered to herself in a deep voice: "There are no signs of a fight. Is he still alive?"

"..." The confidant still looked speechless and nodded, "The city lord is fine for the time being."

"Would you like to go with me? You'll know when you see it..."
