Immortals of the Mortal World Gather at the Inn!

"The condition is, become my Daoist partner!"

After Lin Wanru said those words, Li Daoxuan was completely stunned!

Then, without looking back, they prepared to leave.

I tried to help someone, but ended up getting myself into trouble instead. What a loss!

Seeing Li Daoxuan preparing to leave, Lin Wanru chuckled and casually said, "Sigh, not only did we see that sentence he said before the competition today, but the people from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion also heard it!"

"If you leave today, what will people say? Will they say Li Daoxuan started something and then abandoned it, or something else?"

Li Daoxuan was furious, his face so dark it could drip water: "Lin Wanru, are you threatening me?!"

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "If that's what you think, then so be it!"

"Zheng~"

Li Daoxuan drew his Red Dust Sword, pointed it at Lin Wanru, and said, "Don't you believe I'll kill you right now?"

Lin Wanru found this laughable and said, "If you can kill me on my turf, then you're something else!"

Li Daoxuan sheathed his Red Dust Sword. Indeed, in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, besides those in charge and those who worked on formations, there was also Lin Shaohua, a troublesome person.

Li Daoxuan sat down again and said, "Could we change the terms?"

Lin Wanru: "No!"

Li Daoxuan: "Then I don't need this information!"

Lin Wanru: "That's not up to you. You have to take this information today, whether you want it or not."

Li Daoxuan: "Then give me ten years."

Lin Wanru: "Impossible!"

Lin Wanru: "Besides, it's just being a fake Daoist partner, is it really that big of a deal!"

Li Daoxuan: "Not at all, that's... just kidding!"

Lin Wanru glanced at Li Daoxuan, realizing he had misunderstood, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "Aren't you dreaming too much? Do you really think I'm some virgin who would just get away with this for nothing?"

Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How long will this last?"

Lin Wanru thought for a moment and said, "The end will be when you leave Great Qin!"

Li Daoxuan thought for a moment and said, "Alright, no backing out!"

Lin Wanru seemed to have guessed what the other person was thinking and said, "If you want to leave Da Qin now, then this information will be gone!"

Li Daoxuan, ?

Li Daoxuan thought for a moment and said, "Then set a time, otherwise I'd rather not have this information."

Lin Wanru thought for a moment and said a number: "10 years!"

Li Daoxuan thought for a moment and felt it was still a bit of a loss, so he said, "Ten years is fine, but in addition to all the data and information of Great Qin!"

Lin Wanru agreed without hesitation: "No problem!"

Li Daoxuan felt as if he had fallen into this woman's trap and been tricked.

"besides!"

Just as Li Daoxuan was about to leave, Lin Wanru called out to him.

Li Daoxuan turned around and asked in a cold voice, "Sect Master Lin, is there anything else?"

Lin Wanru pretended not to notice Li Daoxuan's cold tone and said, "From now on, you have to call me Wanru, otherwise our previous agreement will be null and void. Besides, how can a Daoist partner address each other so formally!"

"Yes, Pavilion Master Lin!"

Lin Wanru frowned and said, "What should you call me?"

Li Daoxuan suppressed his shame and called out, "Wanwanru!"

After saying that, Li Daoxuan quickly left the Tianji Pavilion. If he stayed any longer, who knows what might happen!

"Hahaha!"

Even from afar, Li Daoxuan could almost hear Lin Wanru's laughter!

After leaving the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, Li Daoxuan went straight to his residence.

"Master, should we set up some kind of defensive formation in the Li residence?"

As soon as Li Daoxuan entered the Li residence, the old steward stepped forward and asked!

Li Daoxuan thought about it and felt that it made some sense, since he should stay here for a while longer.

Li Daoxuan searched his storage ring for a long time but found that he didn't seem to have any magical treasures such as formations!

The old steward, being perceptive, quickly said, "Master, if you don't have any suitable array formations or magical artifacts, you can go to the Treasure Pavilion. They have all sorts of things there; you should find something that suits your taste!"

Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up. He was not short of money, but he was short of magic weapons!

Therefore, Li Daoxuan decided to visit the Treasure Pavilion. Before going to the Treasure Pavilion, Li Daoxuan decided to go to the City Lord's Mansion to thank Yifan Qin Xiao!

City Lord's Mansion

"I truly didn't expect Brother Li to win over Lin Wanru so quickly! I'm truly impressed!"

Inside the courtyard of the city lord's mansion, Qin Xiao picked up a bowl, drank it, and expressed his admiration.

Li Daoxuan said somewhat dejectedly, "Brother Qin, please stop teasing me."

Qin Xiao chuckled and patted Li Daoxuan on the shoulder, saying, "What do you mean by 'teasing'? That ice-cold beauty Lin Wanru even personally declared that you're her Daoist partner, so Brother Li, who's so proactive, should definitely go for it!"

Li Daoxuan was stunned. He seemed to have just come out of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion not long ago, and the news of that woman had spread so quickly!

However, he wasn't prepared to tell Qin Xiao about his relationship with Lin Wanru; that would be too embarrassing.

As the city lord of Xuanwu City, Qin Xiao naturally knows some inside information. If he really believes that Lin Wanru and Li Daoxuan are Daoist partners, then he is underestimating our Fourth Prince.

However, Qin Xiao finally found a topic to tease Li Daoxuan, so he patted Li Daoxuan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Li, you've met such a good girl, you should just go for it."

Li Daoxuan was completely speechless. From the content of these few sentences, it could be inferred that Qin Xiao seemed to know something!

Looking at Qin Xiao, he asked, "Brother Qin, do you... already know something?"

Seeing that he had been discovered, Qin Xiao still stubbornly insisted, "I don't know what Brother Li means!"

Li Daoxuan, don't be too obvious!

Qin Xiao gave an awkward laugh and said, "Haha, Brother Li is really something. Even though I hid it so well, Brother Li still found out."

Li Daoxuan, do you think I'm a fool?

Seeing this, Qin Xiao quickly changed the subject, saying, "That's true, but as a friend, I still have to remind Brother Li, that woman is no ordinary woman!"

Li Daoxuan thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Indeed!"

Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "She's not as simple as Brother Li thinks. I had dealings with her when I first arrived in Xuanwu City as the city lord."

Li Daoxuan asked, "What do you mean by that, Brother Qin?"

Qin Xiao shuddered as he recalled the scene when he first arrived in Xuanwu City. He said, "I remember when I first came to Xuanwu City, the previous city lord was another highly respected figure in Xuanwu City, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the lower realm."

"Qin Xiao, I hereby appoint you as the City Lord of Xuanwu City, responsible for resisting the northern demon race. Are you willing?"

"Your subject is willing!"

In a magnificent hall, Qin Xiao knelt on one knee and addressed the man sitting on the dragon throne at the very top of the hall.

"Yes, you are the one who most resembles me when I was young, so I have high hopes for you."

The Emperor Qin spoke to Qin Xiao, his eyes seeming to see a reflection of his younger self—a prodigy, hardworking, and exceptionally intelligent.

"I will certainly not let my father down!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao quickly assured him.

The Emperor Qin was very satisfied. He glanced at the shadowy corner of the hall, from which a middle-aged man clad in armor emerged.

The Qin Emperor said to Qin Xiao, "This man is named Su Lie, a mid-stage Mahayana cultivator. I am assigning him to you; he will be under your command!"

Qin Xiao thanked the emperor again, saying, "Thank you, Father Emperor!"

The Qin Emperor was clearly aware of the situation in Xuanwu City. After giving Qin Xiao a meaningful look, he said, "Get up. You shall depart tomorrow. Don't disappoint your father!"
