Farming in the Immortal Mansion

Chapter 403: Interrogation



Seeing that they were about to leave Tianfeng Gorge, Ye Ling put away the demon dragon, changed his bamboo hat and raincoat, put on the moon-white satin long gown again, stepped on the wooden flying sword, rushed out of the clouds with everyone else, and successfully passed through the canyon wind outlet.

"Another person has come out! It's a cultivator from Xishan State!"

The cultivators waiting outside were not qualified to enter Tianfeng Gorge, and could only watch their own cultivator team leave the valley with envy and jealousy in their eyes.

"The four great demon palace maids? It seems to be the team of the little demon Su Caiying. Why is the little demon missing?"

The monks of Xishanzhou were very surprised. They gathered around and asked one after another:

"Master Cui! Where are the twenty or thirty men under your command? How come only these few people came out? Shopkeeper Yao has all the staff."

The four great maids, Hongtang and Yuming, listened to Ye Ling's instructions and said nothing about the disappearance of the little demon.

Fortunately, the monks of Xishanzhou were very afraid of the Demon Flame Palace. Although they were surprised, they did not dare to step forward and ask further questions.

As for Ye Ling, he was not a Xishan monk in the first place. He did not have any familiar people among the people in Xishanzhou City, so everyone naturally ignored him.

On the contrary, Cui Duo and Shopkeeper Yao were both well-known figures in Xishanzhou City with extensive connections. They were surrounded by everyone and asked curious questions.

Cui Duo made a bitter face and lied that all his men were killed by the monsters in Tianfeng Canyon. He also escaped with his life and came out after resting in the canyon for a few days.

"So that's how it is. Pavilion Master Cui was lucky to survive! The staff in the pavilion has passed away, and you can recruit new ones. If you have any accident, the business of Huixing Pavilion will be in jeopardy!"

"Haha, is your pavilion still short of people? I'm willing to go!"

"Count me in! I'm willing to serve Pavilion Master Cui, and I only ask for a monthly salary of hundreds of spirit stones."

For a while, the monks in Xishanzhou City actively recommended themselves. When they heard that Cui Duo's staff had died, they not only did not have any sympathy, but were all excited, thinking that their opportunity had come! That was the famous Chamber of Commerce in Xishan City!

It was not until the Jindan City Lord, who was wearing a silver-feathered crane cloak, coughed in a deep voice that the cultivators quieted down and stood with their hands down, making way for them with a respectful look.

"Show us your storage bags! Have you found any natural treasures on this trip?"

The Jindan City Lord said directly, with a kind of majesty of being in a superior position in his words.

Cui Duo hurriedly took the lead in presenting treasures, opened the storage bag, and asked the City Lord to take a look: "Reply to the City Lord! I encountered a seventh-level monster in Meilin, suffered heavy casualties, and retreated to the thousands of ravines and valleys to practice in peace. All I got were some top-grade spiritual herbs and minerals."

The Jindan City Lord's powerful spiritual sense swept over, nodded, and waved him to leave.

Cui Duo took back the storage bag and kept thanking him, which was nothing more than some polite words that he was able to survive the disaster thanks to the great blessing of the City Lord.

Next came Manager Yao and his assistants. They didn't get much either, but the Jindan City Lord took a fancy to a high-quality sixth-grade red ginseng that was hundreds of years old, and picked it out without hesitation.

This made Manager Yao feel very painful, but in front of the City Lord, he had to smile and couldn't say a word of no.

The Jindan City Lord in the silver-feathered crane cloak seemed to see his reluctance, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, I am a city lord of such status that I won't take your red ginseng for nothing. You don't have to pay the rent for the next six months."

"Yes, yes! Thank you for your understanding, the City Lord. The City Lord can take a fancy to the red ginseng picked by me, which means you are honoring me!" Manager Yao smiled and thanked him repeatedly.

It was the turn of the four Hongtang girls. They opened their storage bags and immediately shocked all the cultivators around them!

"Wow! A big storage bag inside a small storage bag, how many treasures are there?"

"Red Cloud Flying Magical Instrument! Isn't this what Cai Yapo from Qionghua Tower often rides? How did it end up in their hands?"

"Ah? No less than twenty sixth-grade magic instruments and equipment. Oh my god! I've never heard of magic instruments being abundant in Tianfeng Gorge."

The Jindan City Lord couldn't help but be moved! He asked in a deep voice: "I heard from the people who came out before that the little demon girl from your Moyan Palace is everywhere harming the cultivators who enter Tianfeng Gorge, and checking their storage bags unscrupulously. Is this true?"

Hongtang was shocked and pale. She had a plan for how to explain these items, but she didn't expect the city lord to ask her about the evil deeds of the little demon girl.

Seeing that Hongtang and the others couldn't answer, Ye Ling immediately sent out a divine thought.

Hong Tang understood and quickly responded: "Reporting to the city lord, after we entered Tianfeng Gorge, the young palace master left us in order to get on the road first. The juniors really don't know what trouble the young palace master has caused! As for these magic weapons, magic tools, and storage bags, they are all the things that the cultivators who entered Tianfeng Gorge died. We picked them up, and we definitely didn't kill people to rob treasures."

The Jindan City Lord snorted coldly: "It's okay to rob the things of the children of the Nanshan Tang family and the Beishan Zhuo family. The magic tools left by the cultivators in Xishanzhou are under the control of this city lord. Do you have any objections?"

His words alarmed the ancestors of the Zhuo family and the Tang family who were watching from a distance. The two flew over at the same time. When they saw the magic tools in the storage bags of the four Hongtang girls, their faces changed drastically!

"What?! How many descendants of my Zhuo family died?"

The ancestor of Zhuo stared at Hongtang and the others, his eyes were bloodshot, and then he saw Ye Ling behind them, and raised his thick eyebrows, and his anger was rising: "Great! My descendants have not returned yet, but you are safe and sound following the cultivators of Xishan State!"

Ye Ling calmly clasped his hands and smiled indifferently: "Senior Zhuo, you are wrong! When I left the valley, I informed Zhuo Yunhe, Yunfeng and Yunxi of the Qiuyuan Villa, and they will arrive soon. Haha, we have supported each other along the way, and we have made progress in our cultivation. When they come out, you will know whether I am a good person or a bad person by asking them."

The ancestor of Zhuo saw that he was so confident, and said doubtfully: "Well! I will believe you for once. You and Yunhe are It is a miracle that our team of four can get out of the valley safely. However, the treasures you got in the valley must be examined by me. "

The Jindan City Lord coughed in a deep voice and said coldly: "Old Zhuo, don't go too far! This city lord is not dead yet, do you dare to overstep your bounds? This boy is a cultivator from my Xishan State, what does he have to do with your Zhuo family? What's more, since he came out with my Xishan State cultivator team, he should be received by this city lord no matter what. What's the point of you stabbing him in the middle? "

The ancestor of the Zhuo family glared at him, and when he was about to explain, the ancestor of the Nanshan Tang family also spoke. He saw that Ye Ling was not dead, and he really didn't know how the descendants of the clan did things, and they actually ignored his primary task of ordering the killing of Ye Ling!

The Tang family ancestor said sinisterly: "Lord Fan! This guy clearly entered Tianfeng Gorge with the Zhuo family cultivators and seriously injured our Tang family team. It would have been fine if you didn't notice it at the time, but now you are still stubborn. It's really laughable!"

The Jindan City Lord was angry when the two of them sang the same tune.

Ye Ling hurriedly took advantage of the situation and sent divine thoughts to Shopkeeper Yao and Cui Duo at the same time!

Shopkeeper Yao stepped forward and said loudly: "Seniors, listen to what I have to say! This person is my distant relative. If we really want to rank him by seniority, he is two generations older than me! Just from this relationship, he can be regarded as a cultivator from our Xishan State."

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Yao glanced at Hongtang and the others, and sighed in his heart: He worships Hongtang as his master, and Ye Ling is Hongtang's master, isn't he two generations older?

Cui Duo nodded and responded: "Yes, I can testify! He lives in the backyard of Manager Yao's medicine shop. I hired him to come to our Huixing Pavilion a while ago."
