After hearing Ye Hong's words, City Lord Deng thought about it carefully and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you two brothers and sisters?"
Ye Hong replied, "Miaomiao and I are not biological siblings. Miaomiao's full name is He Miaomiao. She was raised by Grandma Liu. We met when we were five years old and have been living together ever since."
"I see, but the fact that you can protect Miaomiao like this also shows that your relationship is closer than that of real brothers and sisters. Since you don't want to be my son, it's okay. Since you are Miaomiao's recognized brother, then this is also your home. "
"Thank you Uncle Deng!"
When the old man saw that the city lord had adopted his goddaughter, he thought that he had always been a lonely old man. He felt that Ye Hong was also quite smart and kind, and an idea suddenly arose in his mind.
"You brat, since you don't want to recognize the city lord as your father, how about you become the grandson of this old man like me!"
Ye Hong had always disliked this old man. He wanted to kill him just now, but now he wanted to accept him as his grandson. He was immediately unhappy.
"Shameless old gangster! You have a beautiful idea!"
When the old man saw that he wanted to take this kid in, but he didn't know how to praise him, he became very angry. He chased Ye Hong and tried to slap him a few times to teach him a lesson.
"You bastard, how can you talk! Don't think that I don't know the bad things in your heart."
Of course Ye Hong would not let the old man catch him. Anyway, he now had the support of the city lord, so the old man did not dare to do anything to him. Turn around and run.
"Liaoluuluo~ You are so shameless and want to catch me!"
The two ran from the room to the courtyard and ran several times in the courtyard. City Lord Deng and Miaomiao also laughed when they saw the two chasing each other.
"You're shameless, you're so shameless! Don't use your cultivation when you have the ability!" Ye Hong was caught by the old man and spanked hard.
"I'm just cheating! What's wrong with you? Why don't I teach you a lesson?"
Immediately, there were several more slaps,
"Ah! Ah!"
"Okay, you two, stop making trouble. It's getting late. I'll take you two to dinner. Come! Miaomiao, my father will hold your hand."
"Um!"
After dinner, the city lord took the two of them around the city lord's mansion. From time to time, maids and servants greeted the city lord and looked at Ye Hong and the two curiously.
"If you need anything in the future, you can tell the people below directly, and I will give them instructions. You can sleep in these two rooms tonight!"
"Okay! Daddy"
City Lord Deng touched Miaomiao's head and said,
"You must be exhausted after traveling for several days. Go to bed early tonight. We will discuss the rest tomorrow."
Ye Hong and the other two nodded and went to their own rooms. City Lord Deng then left the courtyard.
Back in the room, Ye Hong looked at the decoration in the room, which was large and luxurious. Ye Hong finally realized what it felt like to be a rich man.
"This place is so nice! Enjoy it! I can't even bear to leave!"
Lying on the big bed, Ye Hong was about to fall asleep before he knew it. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Isn't it Miaomiao? You want to come over and sleep with me again! I won't open the door!"
The knock on the door stopped, but soon it started ringing again, but it was not from Ye Hong's side, but from Miaomiao's room. "What's going on? This knock came from Miaomiao's room." , No! I have to go and take a look, but I can’t let anything happen to Miaomiao."
Ye Hong hurriedly opened the door to his room and was about to look in Miaomiao's direction, but as soon as he opened the door, a black shadow flashed into Ye Hong's room. Ye Hong looked around hurriedly and found that Miaomiao had appeared behind him.
"I knew you wouldn't open the door for me, hehe~ You can't run away now!"
Ye Hong immediately realized that he had been deceived by Miaomiao again, "Miaomiao! This is the city lord's mansion. You just recognized your godfather. Is it appropriate for you to go to my room and sleep with me at night?"
Miaomiao said confidently, "Why not? The City Lord's Mansion is my home now. I can sleep wherever I want."
"This..." Ye Hong was unable to refute.
"I can't sleep alone! Brother Ye Hong~" Miao Miao said coquettishly.
Ye Hong was also helpless, "Okay! Just this time, I will sleep alone from tomorrow night!"
"Okay! Listen to brother Ye Hong! Hehe~"
Miaomiao was lying in Ye Hong's arms. Ye Hong suddenly thought of what happened during the day and asked,
"Miaomiao, is that Qianyan Soul Technique very powerful?"
"I don't know! It should be very powerful. According to the technique, practicing Qian Yan Soul Art can increase the strength of the soul. When it reaches a certain level, the soul can leave the body and condense into an entity. It is immune to most soul attacks."
Ye Hong was shocked after hearing this, "It's so powerful! The soul is immune to attacks!"
Miaomiao asked doubtfully, "Brother Ye Hong, what is the soul?"
"The soul...I can't explain this clearly. It is consciousness, but it is not just consciousness. It is memory, but it is not just memory. It is part of the body but can be separated from the body, but it is also connected with the body. There are countless connections.
Anyway, it’s a mysterious thing, and I don’t understand it now. "
"But we can ask your godfather tomorrow. As the lord of Tianjian City, his cultivation level must be very high. He knows a lot about this and can teach you how to practice in the future."
Miaomiao looked at Ye Hong in confusion, "Didn't Brother Ye Hong say that others won't know about my dark spiritual root?"
Ye Hong explained, "As your godfather, he should know about this, but I'll test him first tomorrow. If he knows about the Dark Spirit Root and is disgusted with it, we will leave Tianjian City immediately.
If he doesn’t know about Dark Spirit Root and has never heard of it, then tell him about it and see his reaction. If it’s normal, then it’s okay. He can also help you practice and master it better in the future. . "
"Okay! Listen to brother Ye Hong." After saying that, he rested his head comfortably on Ye Hong's body, and the two of them gradually fell asleep.
As for the group of people taken away by Feng Xie Sword Emperor, because they were too close, they all became idiots under the influence of the soul fluctuations and knew nothing. Feng Xie Sword Emperor was furious when he saw the group of idiots he had brought back. Killed everyone with one sword.
The coachman was also affected by the fluctuation of his soul, and he had no memory of what happened during that time. City Lord Deng also knew the whole process and there was no need to keep the coachman anymore, so he let him go.
The next day, Ye Hong woke up and found that Miaomiao was no longer around. Ye Hong knew that he should go back to his room, tidied up and opened the door.
"Master! You're awake. I'm your maid Xiaoqing. The master asked me to come and serve you. If you need anything, just tell me."
Ye Hong looked at the respectful maid at the door. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old and quite good-looking. Then he looked at Miaomiao's room. There was also a maid in front of the door.
Ye Hong thought to himself, this treatment is really good, it is indeed a life worthy of a young master and a young lady.
Miaomiao seemed to know that Yehong had walked out of the room. Yehong came out with her front legs, and Miaomiao also came out of the room with her back legs. Coming to Ye Hong,
"Brother Ye Hong, good morning!"
"Morning! Miaomiao"
"Take us to have breakfast first! We're a little hungry."
"Yes! Miss and Master, please come with me!"
The two of them arrived at the restaurant under the guidance of the maid, and soon all the meals were served. They were all rare and high-end foods that they could not usually eat.
"You two got up very early!"
Ye Hong and the other two saw City Lord Deng coming and greeted him,
"Good morning, daddy!"
"Good morning, Uncle Deng!"
City Lord Deng said softly, "Well, you guys eat first, and come to me in the study after you finish."
After Ye Hong and the others had breakfast, they came to the city lord's study.
"Uncle Deng, we are here!"
City Lord Deng saw the two people coming in and asked, "Ye Hong, you are going to the Imperial Academy of Literature so that you can seek an official position in the empire after your studies! The recommendation letter said that you are outstanding in academics. Are you interested in the future after completing your studies? Stay in Tianjian City and help me."
"Uncle Deng, actually I mainly want to find a method that can help me practice. As the empire's liberal arts academy, I thought there must be a lot of books in it, so I wanted to look for a way to see if I could find a way.
Regarding becoming an official, I am still young and have not yet thought clearly about it. "
City Master Deng understood and continued to ask, "So you just want to practice. Our Tianjian City has many cultivation methods. There is no need for you to go to the imperial capital. What spiritual attribute do you have?"
"Well...Uncle Deng, I think you have misunderstood me. I am looking for a way to practice. I have a spiritual root without attributes."
City Lord Deng looked at Ye Hong in surprise, "Without attributes? In the entire continent, I have never heard of anyone who can practice without attributes. I advise you to give up. Listen to your uncle, there is nothing wrong with being a civil servant."
This was the only thing that Ye Hong was obsessed with when he came to this world. He finally came to this world of cultivating immortals, but he couldn't just be a mortal for the rest of his life. Moreover, he still thought about going back. If he couldn't cultivate, there would be no hope at all.
Ye Hong still said firmly, "Uncle Deng, I will not give up! I will definitely find a way."
Seeing Ye Hong's persistence, City Lord Deng could only sigh and said, "Hey! It's up to you, but if you figure it out sometime, you're welcome to come to Uncle Deng's Tianjian City to help me."
Ye Hong saw City Lord Deng frowning and sighing, "Uncle Deng, are you in trouble because you need civil servants so urgently? I may be able to help you."
City Lord Deng sighed helplessly, "Forget it! You are still young. Although you are talented, you are only a ten-year-old child at the moment. You can't help me much."
After hearing what City Lord Deng said, Ye Hong immediately understood that City Lord Deng only treated him as a ten-year-old child, and it was useless no matter how much he said. Moreover, I just came to Tianjian City, and I am not familiar with Tianjian City at all, so I can't help much.
I can only stay in Tianjian City for a while to observe and see if I can help. As the goddaughter of the Lord of Tianjian City, Miaomiao would not be good to Miaomiao if something went wrong in Tianjian City.
Ye Hong remembered what he wanted to ask last night and said, "Uncle Deng, because I have no attributes, I am particularly interested in spiritual roots. Do you know what kinds of spiritual roots there are on the mainland?"
City Lord Deng explained all the eight types of spiritual roots, and even the mutated spiritual roots of the eight attribute spiritual roots, but there was no spiritual root similar to the dark spiritual root.
"Uncle Deng, do you know about the Dark Spirit Root?"
"Dark spiritual root? This is the first time I have heard of it. What kind of spiritual root is this?"
When Ye Hong asked the question, he carefully observed City Lord Deng's reaction, and saw that City Lord Deng's reaction was completely as if he really didn't know. Ye Hong continued,
"Uncle Deng, this is what I think. You see, the five elements' spiritual roots are mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other. Everything has yin and yang, and where there is good there is evil. As for the light spiritual root that is the light side, shouldn't there be the dark spiritual root that is the dark side? ?”
After listening to Ye Hong's statement, City Lord Deng couldn't help but fell into thinking and said, "This is the first time I've heard of your theory. It's really novel. No wonder the letter said you just met someone. It seems to be true.
What you said is not unreasonable, but according to what you said, shouldn't there be a flip side to Fenglei Spiritual Root? "
"This...I haven't researched this yet. But I think there should be some."
