Qingluan City Lord’s Mansion——
"It's not easy to see you now."
Although there is a big difference in cultivation between Master Shao and City Master Zhang, they are similar in age and have known each other since they were teenagers, so they have always called each other as equals.
"Didn't you come in too?" City Lord Zhang glanced sideways at Master Shao, "Why, are you here to fight for that brat from the Shao family?"
Even Mr. Shao did not expect that Mr. Shao and Mr. Zhang of Qingluan City would be sworn friends. Even though the two people have a big difference in cultivation level now, because they have similar temperaments since they were young, even if the gap between their cultivation levels is getting bigger and bigger. However, the friendship between them has not been erased.
"You said Hao'er——"
Mr. Shao Er was shocked and asked, "Did you do it?"
If this is really the case, it will be troublesome. With the temperament of the eldest brother, knowing that the murderer behind Haoer's murder is the Zhang family, he will definitely unite with the other three major families in the city to annihilate the Zhang family in one fell swoop.
He will also be jealous of himself for misleading him.
"Yes, who made that kid talk nonsense and even come to my house to talk nonsense? If it weren't for your face, I wouldn't have just thrown that brat out of the city with such a light punishment." City Lord Zhang thought of Shao Donghao I was so angry when I said what I said that day, "That boy's temper has been spoiled by your Shao family. He is arrogant and arrogant. He offends me as a junior. For the sake of our friendship, I don't have to care about him as a junior. If he offends other people, People, I’m afraid their lives are in danger.”
"He...he is dead!"
Although Mr. Shao Er was a little heartbroken when he talked about his nephew's death, he was inexplicably relieved to hear that City Master Zhang was not the culprit behind Shao Donghao's death.
The Zhang family is currently in a precarious situation. It would be better to have less trouble.
"Dead?" City Lord Zhang suddenly realized, "It turns out that you came here for this reason, but to be honest, there is no harm but only benefit to the Shao family if such a junior dies. If he is alive, what if he commits suicide one day and offends someone? A truly respectable senior, you Shao family can do well with him."
"That being said, he is always my nephew, and I have watched him grow up."
Mr. Shao Er regretted that when he heard the news that Lord Zhang was recruiting a son-in-law, he told Shao Donghao, which made him think something wrong, otherwise he would not have lost his life for no reason.
"No, you didn't suspect that I killed your nephew before, right?" City Lord Zhang looked suspicious.
"Ahem...that's not the case. I still understand your character. You are not the kind of person who kills without blinking an eye."
Mr. Shao Er was shocked at first because he was misled by City Master Zhang's words. Fortunately, City Master Zhang made it clear quickly.
"I don't even bother to take action against a junior."
High-level monks have the pride of high-level monks. Unless the other party bullies others too much, they will not give a junior who is lower than them the same understanding.
"I know, so Hao'er should have died outside the city."
Mr. Shao Er was puzzled. Since Shao Donghao was driven out of the city by City Lord Zhang a few days ago, why didn't he return to Juyang City? Who did he meet outside the city and lost his life?
He previously suspected that the three major families in Qingluan City did it to put the blame on the Zhang family and cause trouble to the Lord Zhang, but now it doesn't seem like it.
Since Hao'er was driven out of the city by City Lord Zhang a long time ago, it means that he had already come out before the chaos broke out in Qingluan City. He should not be targeted by the three major families. Moreover, the three major families are now inextricably fighting with City Lord Zhang. How can there be any Time to deal with him as an outsider.
Unless, as City Lord Zhang said, Haoer provoked people he shouldn't have provoked, which led to him being in trouble.
"That's your Shao family's business. As long as something doesn't happen in our Qingluan City, I won't help you investigate."
City Lord Zhang didn't have much affection for Shao Donghao. In addition, the fight between him and the three major families had reached a fever pitch and the outcome was about to come to an end, so he had no energy to take care of this matter.
"I know."
Mr. Shao Er nodded to express his understanding.
"Since everything shows that Shao Donghao did not die in Qingluan City, you should leave."
City Lord Zhang immediately issued an order to expel Mr. Shao.
Mr. Shao Er: ...just, very angry, why are you so heartless!
"I'm not just here for this matter, I'm also here to give you the elixir."
"What kind of elixir are you sending?" City Lord Zhang was a little confused.
"Bodhi Pill." Mr. Shao Er quickly took out the pill and sent it to City Master Zhang. "It has a repairing effect on your Dantian, so you will have more time..."
"Nine-grade Bodhi Pill?" City Lord Zhang knew that Mr. Shao's qualifications were not high, and his cultivation was almost achieved by taking pills, so his status in the Shao family was not very high, so precious pills like the Bodhi Pill He had no right to use the medicine, let alone give it to an outsider, "Where did you come from?"
Could it be that he stole it from the Shao family for him? Why didn’t City Lord Zhang know that his friendship with Mr. Shao was so deep that Mr. Shao would betray the family and steal the medicine for him?
"Big brother gave it to me..."
Speaking of this, Mr. Shao Er had to recount the previous conversation between him and his eldest brother to City Lord Zhang.
City Lord Zhang was very touched that Master Shao immediately helped the Zhang family eliminate suspicion, but he did not intend to accept the Bodhi Pill offered by the Shao family.
Of course, the head of the Shao family would not be so kind, and there would be a certain price to pay for accepting the elixir he gave, especially when the other party opened his mouth to ask for a black gold mine from the Zhang family.
Just because of Shao Donghao, City Lord Zhang didn't have much favorable impression of his father, the head of the Shao family. As the saying goes, like father, like son, and vice versa.
Like a son, it can be seen that there are also problems with the father's character.
What's more, with Ni Xiaoyou, a medical practitioner who can completely cure his hidden wounds, the Bodhi Pill is as useless to him. Of course, he will not give up a black gold mine to the Shao family for a few useless things.
"I can't have it, take it back!"
"Zhang Shu," Mr. Shao called City Lord Zhang's name anxiously, "It's now time. Stop showing off. When you regain your position as City Lord, the rest of the Zhang family and your daughter will be safe." , why give up because of a black gold mine? If you die, the Zhang family and all the black gold mines will not be saved."
"Who said I would have to die without the Bodhi Pill?" City Master Zhang understood that Mr. Shao Er was doing it for his own good, but he just didn't need this kind of kindness. "Then keep your eyes open and see how long I can live."
Mr. Shao Er was surprised: "You mean there is nothing wrong with your Dantian?"
"No, he's almost healed." City Master Zhang is very confident in Zhuzhu's healing ability. At least after she strengthened her Dantian, his cultivation has returned to the late stage of out-of-body experience, and he has the ability to face challenges. I am worried that my Dantian will not be able to withstand the large amount of spiritual power and collapse.
"Seriously?" Mr. Shao Er was very happy after hearing this. He took a closer look at City Lord Zhang's face and found that his face was rosy, his eyes were bright and shiny, and he was in a state of high energy. It didn't look like he was going to die soon. It seemed that City Lord Zhang was indeed not lying, "That's really great."
"Don't worry now."
City Master Zhang changed the subject and began to chase away the guests again, "Now you also know the problems in Qingluan City. It is not safe for you to stay here. If people from the three major families know that you are here, they will definitely think that I am with you in Yangcheng." The Shao family has joined forces to inflict serious damage on me, and will definitely take action against you so that our families will break up, so you should leave as soon as possible!"
