"Senior, don't worry. I don't want to rely on anyone. I want the Black Golden Marrow simply because I want to give it to my senior brother. Moreover, my senior brother doesn't know about it and he doesn't force me to do this."
Zhuzhu didn’t care whether City Lord Zhang believed it or not, so she stopped explaining after she finished speaking.
This man taught himself a lot of truths, but he didn't know how to let go and let his daughter become more independent and self-reliant. Instead of forcing his daughter to get married, he persuaded himself not to focus on love. , she was a little dumbfounded.
Brothers and sisters who have no romantic relationship would usually give such treasures as gifts. Although City Master Zhang didn’t quite believe Zhuzhu’s words, if the other party could really heal the hidden wounds in his foundation, let alone a million drops of black gold. Marrow, no matter how many treasures he has, he is willing to give:
"As long as you can heal my injury, more than a hundred drops of black gold marrow, if you want other treasures, as long as my city lord's palace has them, I can give them to you."
Look, what is rich and powerful, this is it!
Zhuzhu believed that as a veteran out-of-body master and the lord of a city, City Lord Zhang must have a lot of good things in his hands, but she thought about it and suppressed her greed and shook her head.
One hundred drops of black gold marrow is already a treasure that can be encountered but cannot be obtained.
You can't be too greedy.
Besides, her original intention was just to get the Black Gold Marrow:
"Thank you for your kindness, senior. I only need a hundred drops of black gold marrow. However, once I start to treat your injury, it may take at least half a month, and you cannot interrupt in the middle, otherwise you will fail. I wonder if senior can be safe without being disturbed." The place?"
"It will take more than half a month!"
City Lord Zhang frowned again. If he disappeared for more than half a month, Qingluan City would definitely be in chaos. At least some of the people in the city would be implicated and killed.
"Dad, I'll guard Qingluan City, and you can heal your wounds in peace."
Now that there is hope for his father's injury to recover, Zhang Xinran volunteered to take on the important task of guarding Qingluan City in order to give him no worries.
City Lord Zhang shook his head in denial: "Your cultivation level is too low and you cannot convince the public at all. Instead, you will fall into the target of public criticism. The results of the competition for marriage will be announced in these two days. Regardless of whether you are willing to marry in the end, as my father, as the city lord and Your elders will always come forward to resolve this matter, and it seems that now is not the best time to heal."
"But you don't have much time, so you can't delay it any longer."
Zhang Xinran was in a panic. She could see that because she sent a maid to ask for help without authorization, causing Sister Ni to wade into the muddy waters of their Zhang family, her attitude towards her was worse than the first time they met.
Just as Sister Ni said, she came to save her father not because of her own face, but because she didn't want Qingluan City to lose a good city lord.
As the daughter of Lord Zhang, Zhang Xinran is also proud to have such a father.
At the same time, she was also more afraid of losing her father.
"It doesn't matter. I know my physical condition better. I should be able to hold on for another year. I'll finish solving the issues in Qingluan City first before talking about anything else."
City Lord Zhang insisted on not healing his wounds first, and Zhuzhu certainly had no objection. To be honest, if City Lord Zhang wanted to survive, no matter the mess he left, no matter whether the people in the city were dead or alive, she would have to think about how she views people first. Is there something wrong with your vision?
Fortunately, City Lord Zhang did not disappoint him. He was indeed a good City Lord.
But his time is really running out. He may have fought with others before, which further aggravated the hidden injuries on his spiritual veins and Dantian. He still has three or four months at most.
Zhuzhu didn't believe that City Master Zhang couldn't notice it, but in order to reassure his daughter, he had to tell a lie, and he was sure that he would not expose his lies in person.
"Since the senior has things to deal with in the city that cannot be treated at the moment, the junior will leave the city first. My family and friends are still waiting for me outside the city."
Zhuzhu didn't want her sister and the others to worry about her for a long time, so it would be better to wait for City Lord Zhang to finish handling the affairs in the city before going into the city to treat him.
It just so happened that she could avoid this confrontation between the major families.
She is just a little person with low cultivation level now, so it is better to keep a low profile.
"Then will Sister Ni come back to treat my father's injuries?"
Zhang Xinran was afraid that Zhuzhu would not return to Qingluan City after she returned.
"Don't worry, for Wu Jinsui's sake I will definitely come back."
After all, this thing is really hard to get. You can't even buy it even if you have spiritual stones. There are many black gold mines outside Qingluan City so you can get the more precious black gold marrow. Zhuzhu doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
Hearing what Zhuzhu said, Zhang Xinran was really relieved, but City Lord Zhang took out a black bottle from his storage ring and threw it to Zhuzhu: "What's in here is the Ten Thousand Years Black Gold Marrow, no more, no less." , there is exactly one hundred drops, you can take it first!"
"senior--"
"father--"
Zhuzhu and Zhang Xinran were surprised at the same time.
"Okay, don't doubt the people you trust, and don't trust the people you employ. I still understand this."
City Lord Zhang began to drive Zhuzhu away, "I can't heal the injury now. It's really useless for you to stay here. It's right to leave Qingluan City first. Besides, I'm not insisting on holding a competition to recruit brides, and I won't attract some for nothing. Those who are interested in divining things, please come to the City Lord’s Mansion to treat my injuries after everything is resolved in Qingluan City.”
Zhuzhu pinched the black jade bottle in her hand. Why did she think that City Lord Zhang was afraid that something might happen to him, so he gave the black gold marrow to her in advance.
That being said, if something happens to City Lord Zhang, wouldn't he not have to pay anything and get this treasure for nothing?
For Zhuzhu, who never liked to owe others favors, the bottle in his hand suddenly became heavy and hot to the touch.
She really couldn't leave Qingluan City with the black golden marrow in peace of mind.
"Senior, let me reinforce your dantian and spiritual veins before leaving. If there is any danger, the reinforced dantian and spiritual veins can allow you to fight the enemy twice without breaking."
In this way, at least she didn't lose the black gold marrow in her hand without her own efforts, and maybe she could let City Lord Zhang save more people in the city.
"Thank you very much."
City Lord Zhang understood that the situation was special, so he did not continue to show off his strength. He really needed to have the strength to fight in order to frighten those young people.
In this way, Zhuzhu spent another half day and almost all the spiritual energy and vitality in her body, and then City Lord Zhang had an extra layer of shield inside and outside his Dantian and spiritual veins, so that he would not be able to use his spiritual power. Collapse, completely incurable.
…
Not far after leaving the city gate, Zhuzhu felt someone following her behind her. She pursed her lips and did not go directly to where her sister and the others were outside the city, but walked in the opposite direction to where they were.
It wasn't until they came to a barren mountain that Zhuzhu raised her sword and turned around: "Your Excellency, why are you following me?"
"Fairy Ni, you are fine."
The man walked out from behind a big tree with a complicated look on his face, and saluted Zhuzhu with his fists raised.
"Shopkeeper Wang?"
Zhuzhu looked at the visitor with a surprised look on her face. She had always thought that it was Shao Donghao's men who were following her. She never thought that the person following her would be the kind-faced shopkeeper Wang from the original inn.
"Why are you following me?"
Even if someone with a good impression followed her for no reason, Zhuzhu would find it difficult to be nice to him.
However, shopkeeper Wang's cultivation has improved a lot compared to what he saw a few days ago, from the peak of the early stage of the golden elixir to the middle stage of the golden elixir.
"The villain is just following orders, please forgive me Fairy Ni."
Shopkeeper Wang lowered his head in shame.
"Whose order does Shopkeeper Wang take?" Zhuzhu asked.
"Of course it's the master of the house. The master wants to invite Fairy Ni to my Wang family as a guest." Shopkeeper Wang said.
Yes, when Shao Donghao came to the inn to cause trouble, it was the elders of the Wang family who came forward to calm down the turmoil. It can be seen that the inn is the property of the Wang family, and shopkeeper Wang is naturally a member of the Wang family.
