"No, no," the city lord denied repeatedly. He used to think so, until something happened later that overturned his conjecture.
"Why is that?" Qian Linglong frowned and became curious.
"Miss." Qian Tingting whispered, wanting Qian Linglong not to interrupt the conversation between Suning and the city lord.
Qian Linglong pouted, sitting on the stone bench coquettishly, "Oh, Santo, I also want to know, can I chat with you?"
"Yes, it's not a matter of great importance, maybe you can still help me." The city lord smiled kindly, like a grandfather of a loved one.
"City Lord continue to talk." Suning was aroused by curiosity, just want to hear the follow-up of this incident.
"Yeah." The city lord nodded and took a deep breath to continue, "Until one day, Shengyue traveled out of the city. I went to Sheng Mansion to find Sheng Tianlin as before. I didn't expect to feel that strange breath again. Strong, as if it was in the Sheng family's home. I just asked a few words, Sheng Tianlin was furious, saying that I maliciously spread rumors to destroy the Sheng family and deprive the Sheng family of property. He immediately coaxed me out and never talked to me again. I come and go."
There was a trace of regret in Murong Liusang's eyes.
"Are you and the elder of the Sheng family... are you friends?" Suning swallowed the word "old thief" back into his stomach with a look of surprise. He just took a bite of an old thief, this...
"It used to be, but not anymore." Murong Liusang sighed, and Jiang Bailin asked immediately, "So you suspect that the Sheng family is colluding with some weird people?"
Several of them had also suspected about this matter. There are three families in Gentian City. Why is it that only the Sheng family can stand out and be far ahead. It is clear that the other two are not bad, that is, they will be overwhelmed by the Sheng family in every aspect.
If there is really something outside, then everything becomes reasonable.
"Yes, that's why I stopped the Sheng family and prevented them from getting this eternal life pill. I know who Sheng Tianlin is. He is definitely not the kind of person who wants to live forever." Murong Liusang's eyes became firm, he After befriending Sheng Tianlin for so long, some of his ideas are still guessable.
"I understand, but maybe we won't be able to help much. After all, we will leave tomorrow and continue northward. We won't be delayed in Gentian City." Suning said embarrassedly, seeing that Murong Liusang did not treat them as outsiders. For good reason, he no longer concealed their whereabouts, and he said directly.
"It's okay, these are what I should do as the city lord." Murong Liusang's eyes flashed with a look of regret, then he forced a smile, pretending to be an understatement.
"Cough cough." Murong Liusang coughed a few times suddenly, the filthy sputum was mixed with bright red bloodshot eyes, "It seems that I can't make it through."
"City Lord!" Suning and several people flocked to him in an instant, watching him with concern, even if they only spent a few hours together, they all admired the city lord from the bottom of their hearts.
"I'm fine, I'm old, it's useless." Murong Liusang raised his sleeve to wipe the blood on the corner of his mouth, and said weakly.
"Didn't you just take the eternal life pill? Take it quickly, it is good for your body." Suning immediately leaned to Murong Liusang's side and touched his pocket, trying to find the eternal life pill.
"Don't look for it, such a precious thing is useless for me. Even if I extend my life, I don't have the ability to compete with the Sheng family. It's just a waste of medicine." Murong Liusang grabbed Suning's hand and said firmly. And resolutely.
"Who said that? You can't, what about us?" Suning's face sank and became serious. He couldn't let such an upright Old City Lord die in front of him. At this moment, he decided to help the Old City Lord. Find out this weird dark power.
"That's it! There are us!" Qian Linglong was filled with righteous indignation, blinked and said with a serious face.
"Don't worry, the city lord, all of us know the gratitude plan. You helped me block the revenge of the Sheng family. We naturally find a chance to repay you. We also ask the city lord to subdue the eternal life pill, so that we can find it with us. The truth is out." Jiang Bailin also echoed. What he said was more useful than the words of the few of them. The city lord's expression changed and he no longer stopped Suning.
Suning opened the jade bottle, the eternal life pill floated into the sky, and the whole body was shining with silvery white light. The fruit of the banyan tree became more saturated, and the surrounding flowers and plants grew more vigorous and vigorous. The fish in the pool became bigger and more vigorous. Swim in the water quickly.
"Quickly take it." Suning didn't delay much, put the pill into Murong Liusang's mouth, raised his head, Murong Liusang's Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed.
In an instant, Murong Liusang only felt relieved, his muscles and bones were healing, as if he had returned to his youth, "It seems that this eternal life pill is indeed well-deserved."
Murong Liusang's complexion began to turn red, and his pale lips became bloody. The creases at the corners of his eyes disappeared for a few days, and his naked eyes looked ten years younger.
"The body is the capital of the revolution. When the body is broken, everything is empty." Jiang Bailin said leisurely, and couldn't help but admire the old city lord. Seeing his older and weaker body than his peers, he probably understood his past Work harder.
"You are right." Murong Liusang nodded in agreement, and ordered several servants to tidy up the guest room so that Suning could live in.
Qian Linglong went back to the room to change clothes first. Suning and Jiang Bailin asked Murong Liusang many things about that strange spiritual power. Only when they knew the source, could they be solved and contained.
Three years ago, Murong Liusang was aware of this strange power. After discovering it in the Sheng family, he carefully recalled and found that every time he perceives that strange spiritual power fluctuation, it is always related to the Sheng family. In addition, Sheng Tianlin's uncharacteristic behavior made him more sure that the Sheng family was related to them.
It’s just that Sheng Tianlin is not in contact with Murong Liusang now. He has no way to get close to the people of the Sheng family. Many things are just suspicion, and there is no way to penetrate the Sheng family. Murong Liusang couldn't let go for a day. In just three years, the speed of oldness increased, more than ten times faster than the average person.
"Don't worry, the lord, we will find a way." Suning's face sank.
