Dear Lingshi

However, they did not notice that the patriarch of the Jiang family, who was sitting next to them, was terrifyingly silent at this moment, while Jin Rong's face on the stage became even gloomier.

The head of the Jiang family was silent at this time because he guessed from the death of the head of the Wang family that it might be Lu Yunsheng behind the death. That kind of unpredictable means made him very scared, and now he dared not provoke Lu Yunsheng again.

Jin Rong was so smart that as soon as he heard the number Lu Yunsheng reported, he immediately understood the meaning of Lu Yunsheng's words.

He was naturally clear in his mind. In the past three years, Lu Yunsheng should have received at least 30 million low-grade spirit stones as dividends.

When Lu Yunsheng heard the question from the Patriarch of the Bai Family, he looked directly at Jin Rong and asked with a smile, "Lord City Lord, you have already received the 30 million low-grade spirit stones, right?"

After hearing Lu Yunsheng's words, everyone's eyes once again turned to Jin Rong.

"Has this kid really donated 30 million low-grade spirit stones?" The head of the Bai family asked the head of the Zhang family in a low voice.

The head of the Zhang family looked at Jin Rong with disbelief at this time, waiting for Jin Rong to continue speaking.

Although Jin Rong had already guessed it in his mind, he was stunned when he heard Lu Yunsheng ask this.

Jin Rong didn't keep them waiting. He thought for a moment and then said with a smile, "Hahaha, I forgot to tell you that Pavilion Master Lu has indeed donated 30 million low-grade spirit stones in advance. I originally planned to tell you this good news last, but now that Zhang Jiazhu has asked about it, I can't hide it anymore."

After hearing Jin Rong's personal admission, all the cultivators in the hall took a deep breath and were stunned. They didn't expect that Lu Yunsheng really donated 30 million low-grade spirit stones.

Especially the two heads of the Zhang and Bai families looked incredulous.

"That's 30 million low-grade spirit stones! The total assets of our four families combined are not as much! Can Lu Yunsheng come up with so many spirit stones at once?" The head of the Bai family asked the two heads of the Jiang and Zhang families.

"Let me tell you two, don't provoke Lu Yunsheng again." The head of the Jiang family ignored the question from the head of the Bai family, but reminded the two of them thoughtfully.

"Why?" the heads of the Bai and Zhang families asked in unison.

"You should think carefully about how Old Wang died." After saying this, the head of the Jiang family closed his eyes and rested.

Only the Zhang and Bai families were left deep in thought.

As time went by, the donations were almost completed. With the order from the city lord, the maids entered the hall carrying sumptuous spiritual food and fine wine.

Next, everyone drank and sang and danced.

This time, Lu Yunsheng unexpectedly became the focus of the scene. From time to time, monks would come up with wine glasses in their hands to make friends with him.

Lu Yunsheng was naturally very happy to make friends with these monks. After all, he would continue to develop in Tieshan City in the future.

"Congratulations on your safe return!" Li Wan also walked up to Lu Yunsheng and raised her glass to congratulate him.

When Lu Yunsheng saw Li Wan, he immediately stood up and bowed to her respectfully.

"I will never forget your kindness, Senior."

Lu Yunsheng was really grateful to Li Wan.

"Listen to me, the dinner is over and you should leave Tieshan City as soon as possible." Li Wan sighed and whispered to Lu Yunsheng.

Lu Yunsheng knew that Li Wan was worried about him, but before he could open his mouth to thank her, he saw Jin Rong walking towards him.

"Master Li is here too? That's great. Let's both toast to Pavilion Master Lu. I've been missing you for the past three years since Pavilion Master Lu disappeared." Jin Rong said with a smile on his face, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

However, Li Wan moved a step towards Lu Yunsheng without leaving any trace.

"I'm sorry to have made the city lord worry. I have missed you all the time in the past three years." Lu Yunsheng said with a generous smile.

The conversation between the two men seemed to other monks like old friends meeting again after a long separation, but the meaning behind these words was probably only known to the two of them.

"Don't leave in a hurry after the show is over. I have something important to discuss with you." Jin Rong suddenly said to Lu Yunsheng.

"Okay, I dare not disobey what the city lord says."

Lu Yunsheng readily agreed, but Bai Yushu was extremely anxious.

After Jin Rong and Li Wan left, Bai Yushu couldn't wait to ask Lu Yunsheng, "Aren't you afraid that he will do something bad to you?"

"I'm so scared! Come with me later, if we die, we die together!" Lu Yunsheng said with a smirk.

"Bah! I won't go to die with you." Bai Yushu said pretending to be angry.

In the past, Lu Yunsheng was weak and only knew that Jin Rong was a Jindan-stage cultivator. Today, when he swept his spiritual sense on the city wall, he discovered that Jin Rong was only at the Jindan Perfection stage, and his soul had not even condensed into a soul pill.

After learning the true strength of the enemy, he was no longer afraid.

Time passed quickly and the monks in the hall gradually dispersed.

Soon, Lu Yunsheng and Bai Yushu were the only ones left in the hall.

At this time, a maid came over and said to the two of them, "Two Pavilion Masters, the City Lord wants to see you."

"lead the way!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunsheng pulled Bai Yushu up and followed the maid to the side hall.

When the two men walked into the side hall, they saw Jin Rong and Long Dong sitting on the only two armchairs, with no intention of getting up to greet them.

Lu Yunsheng didn't care, but stood in front of the two of them and asked with a smile: "What can I do for you, Lord City Lord?"

"Haha! I asked you, Pavilion Master Lu, to come here today because I want to retrieve something." Jin Rong didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Jin Rong had been extremely eager for the four Soul Forging Stones and was now so impatient that he almost snatched them directly from Lu Yunsheng.

"Oh? What is that? I don't remember taking anything from the city lord." Lu Yunsheng pretended to be confused just to tease Jin Rong.

Hearing Lu Yunsheng's words, Jin Rong really stopped pretending and tore off his usual disguise. He said to Lu Yunsheng with a gloomy face, "Pavilion Master Lu, I will give you one last chance. Hand over that thing and I can let you die more comfortably."

After hearing this, Bai Yushu's heart skipped a beat and he immediately put his hands on the Qiankun bag at his waist, ready to take action at any time.

"Is this the thing?" Lu Yunsheng took out a soul-forging stone and shook it in front of Jin Rong, asking with a smile on his face, without a trace of fear on his face.

When Jin Rong saw this long-desired treasure, a smile immediately spread across his face and he immediately raised his hand to take the Soul Forging Stone.

Seeing Jin Rong's actions, Lu Yunsheng retracted his hand and teased him with a smile: "Does City Lord Jin always do things like this? Taking other people's things without even saying hello? How rude!"
