Chapter 150: The Secret of Qinw.a.n.g Ridge, the City Lord of Qinyang City

The middle-aged man stared at Su Yi as if he had seen something strange.

At first glance, he felt that Su Yi’s Frostflame Robe was somewhat familiar. Coupled with his young and handsome appearance, it was very similar to the mission of the Heaven’s Favorite that was rumored among the cultivators in Central Plains City.

Since they had something in common, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but ask.

When he heard the middle-aged man’s first sentence, Su Yi was clearly startled. Initially, when he saw the gaze of the coachman, he thought that he had encountered some trouble again.

However, the other party had just stepped out of the carriage and he directly asked this question. This caused him to be unable to react for a moment.

The person he was asking about was actually Su Yi, who was in the middle of Central Plains City. Could it be that he knew who he is?

Although he was suspicious in his heart, he did not reveal any surprised expression as he replied indifferently, “my name is indeed Su Yi. However, if you are talking about that extremely famous man in Central Plains City, I wouldn’t dare to accept it.”

When the middle-aged man heard this, his face revealed a joyful expression. He ignored the surprised expression of the coachman as he directly stepped out of the carriage.

The middle-aged man introduced himself to Su Yi.

“I am the city lord of Qinyang City, Qin Hao. I wonder if fellow Daoist Su Yi could have a word with me?” His tone was somewhat joyful and hurried, as if he had found a savior.

Regarding this, Su Yi’s face was full of doubt. The city lord of Qinyang City, what a coincidence? Also, why was he looking for him?

As for why he did not suspect the other party’s ident.i.ty as the city lord, the reason was very simple. Although this carriage was simple and unadorned, it had imprints that no one dared to imitate. Those were the markings that belonged to a city’s symbol, at the same time, it was also the symbol of a city lord.

To be able to make this kind of carriage, it was either the city lord or someone close to the city lord. Although the person in front of him looked slightly fierce, he was dressed in a dignified manner and looked rather awkward…

Could you imagine that a muscular middle-aged man was wearing that elegant long robe?

It was simply unbearable to the eyes. However, the other party’s carriage had come from the direction of the city gate. Presumably, it had also come back from outside the city. It was just that he did not know what kind of things he needed to do, which was why he needed to dress in such clothing that did not match?

However, as the master of a city, he actually invited a young cultivator whom he had never met so amiably. This was a huge loss of face.

Moreover, the world was so big that there were probably many people with the same name and surname as Su Yi. Could it be that he was not afraid of recognizing the wrong person and being embarra.s.sed when the time came?

Clearly, Su Yi was thinking too much. The city lord of Qinyang City in front of him was not the kind of person who would force the issue. He looked at Su Yi with a pair of stern eyes, his eyes filled with hope as he looked at him.

After that, he sighed in his heart. No matter what, he was still the city lord of a city. No matter what, he should not cause this man to lose face in the middle of a busy street. Hence, he replied indifferently, “since City Lord Qin has invited me, I might as well follow your orders.”

After saying this, Qin Hao’s face lit up. He made an inviting gesture with his big, rough hand and then went to a restaurant with Su Yi.

Most of the cultivators in Qinyang City were at the qi condensation realm and mortal realm. This kind of restaurant was a necessity in the city. After all, mortal realm cultivators did not absorb spiritual Qi to abstain from eating.

The two of them sat at a table in the middle of the restaurant, and the coachman followed behind the Qinyang city lord.

Although the coachman was thin and weak, his eyes were bright and full of spirit. His temples were slightly bulging and a faint aura leaked out. It seemed that he was an expert.

After the two of them sat down, the city lord of Qinyang City immediately spoke.

“I didn’t expect to meet the famous Su Yi in my small Qinyang City. Today, I’ve met him. He really lives up to his name and looks.”

Hearing this, he raised his brows slightly. His eyes were filled with coldness as he spoke indifferently, “I believe that city Lord Qin wanted to say more than just flattery when you dragged me here, right?”

As he spoke, his sharp gaze turned towards Qin Hao. This fierce looking man had repeatedly done things that did not match his character. This caused him to be on guard.

Could it be another scheme by some aristocratic family targeting him?

However, the city lord was selected out of a pool of candidates, so it was impossible for him to collude with an aristocratic family. However, it was hard to say. The city lord of such a small city was only at the mid foundation establishment stage. What could he do about it?

Who knew that when the other party heard his cold words, he was clearly stunned. The city lord of Qinyang City looked slightly at the coachman behind him.

The Coachman shook his head slightly and said, “Old Master, it is said that with your character, it is not suitable for you to beat around the bush. Moreover, I believe that this little friend Su is not someone who is beating around the bush.”

“Little friend Su, am I right?” the coachman asked Su Yi in a helpless faint voice.

He nodded slightly when he heard this. He did not like beating around the bush. it was too tiring to play tricks.

“Indeed. City Lord Qin, if you have something to say, just say it. There is no need to be so pretentious.”

When he heard Su Yi say that he was being pretentious, the corner of Qin Hao’s mouth twitched. His eyelids twitched slightly and his chest rose and fell slightly.

After which, he exhaled and said, “alright. Since little friend Su does not care about trifles, I will speak directly. I would like to ask little friend Su to help me with something in Qinyang City.”

“Oh? City Lord Qin, tell me about it?”

It turned out that the city lord of Qinyang City had gone to Central Plains for the sake of Qinyang City’s matters. However, his awkward appearance did not help him in any way. Instead, it provoked ridicule from others. Hence, in a fit of anger, he returned to Qinyang City, only then did he meet Su Yi.

This was also the reason why he was slightly happy to meet Su Yi. In Central Plains city, under all sorts of rumors, Su Yi was actually praised to be an existence comparable to the ancestors of aristocratic families.

This was the power of rumors. A stone could be pa.s.sed down from one hundred mouths to another, and it could even become a fine jade carving. Not to mention that Su Yi’s strength was almost recognized by the geniuses of the Central Plains City.

After that, the city lord of Qinyang City slowly told him why he was looking for him.

In Qinw.a.n.g Ridge, where Qinyang City was located, there seemed to be a powerful demon beast, but he did not know whether it was a demon beast or not.

In short, according to the information reported, it was rumored to be a kind of malicious spirit. At first, the city lord of Qinyang City did not believe it, but when he led a team of late-stage qi condensation cultivators into Qinw.a.n.g Ridge to eradicate the demon beasts, they suffered heavy losses.

Among the team of people, only the city lord and the coachman named Old Long survived. Both of them were mid-stage foundation establishment cultivators, which was why they were able to survive.

He had no choice but to go to Central Plains City to ask for help. However, no one believed what he said. It was not until he met Su Yi and remembered the rumors in Central Plains City that he decided to make a last resort.

If Su Yi was not willing to help, Qinw.a.n.g Ridge would probably become ‘Death Ridge’ in the future.

“So, you want me to help you solve this problem?” Su Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. There was a faint frivolous expression on his face as he said in a mocking tone.
