Looking at the man in front of her, Yu Ren’er’s eyes were full of excitement.
Since he left Green Hill Plains, the two had never met again.
When she came to Nanli City this time, she was still a little nervous, worried that the two of them would become strangers to each other.
Unexpectedly, Su Shi said in front of his family that she was his dao companion.
This made the little fox feel warm in her heart.
Mo Yulan smiled, “Speak of the devil, so you are the girl Shi’er likes?”
Su Shi introduced, “She is my mother.”
“Mother… No, uncle, aunt.”
Yu Ren’er was embarrassed and nervous, her tongue almost knotted.
Mo Yulan smiled and said, “It’s okay to call me mother, it’s a matter of time anyway.”
Yu Ren’er blushed even more.
Su Renzong thought about it carefully and said, “I’ve never heard of a family with the suriname Yu in the Southwest Region, which region is this girl from?”
The other party’s temperament and behavior were extraordinary, and at a young age, she was already in the Golden Elixir realm, it was certain that she came from a prestigious family.
“This……”
Yu Ren’er didn’t know how to answer.
Su Shi said aloud: “Ren’er is from the north.”
“It turned out to be in the north.”
Su Renzong didn’t think too much.
After all, Su Shi often went to the Northern Region, and it was quite normal to find a girl from the north.
At this moment, Su Shi remembered something and asked curiously, “By the way, you didn’t sneak out again, right?”
Yu Ren’er shook her head, “My father asked me to come this time.”
Su Shi was surprised, “He actually agreed to let you come to Linlang?”
The chaos in Huangyuan City had just passed, so it made sense that Yu Yuan wouldn’t let her wander around anymore.
Yu Ren’er whispered: “My father didn’t agree at first, but after learning that you and Alia got married, he immediately sent someone to escort me here.”
Su Shi covered his forehead.
So it was because of that.
“Ren’er, Alia she…”
“Put that aside.”
Yu Ren’er said with a smile: “New Year’s Day is coming soon. I heard that this is an important festival in Linlang country. I came here specially to visit uncle and aunt.”
As she spoke, she took out a jade box, which was filled with rich spiritual energy.
“Barbarian Realm…. cough, this is a unique lucidum snow fungus from the north. It contains the essence of spiritual energy, which can enhance understanding and perception of the Dao.”
“This is a small token of appreciation from this junior.”
Su Renzong waved his hand repeatedly, “This is too precious, we can’t accept it.”
This mushroom had a very outstanding appearance, and just a glance at it could be seen that it was a high-end spiritual material.
Even first-class sects rarely have it.
Yu Lian’er said with a smile: “This is just a small token of appreciation, uncle and aunt please do not reject it.”
Su Renzong still wanted to refuse.
Su Shi said: “Father, just accept it.”
“There is no difference between me and Ren’er, there is no need to be polite.”
Yu Lian’er nodded vigorously, “That’s right, mine is also brother Su Shi’s.”
“This…”
Su Renzong hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and took it.
Yu Lian’er heaved a sigh of relief and stood beside Su Shi obediently.
Mo Yulan looked into her eyes, and her face was full of smiles.
This girl had a well-behaved personality and an attractive appearance, and from the look in Su Shi’s eyes, he seemed to really care about her.
This made Mo Yulan like her even more.
“Come on, daughter-in-law, let’s go into the house and chat.”
Mo Yulan brought Yu Ren’er into the hall.
“D-daughter, daughter-in-law?!” Yu Ren’er’s eyes widened.
Su Shi smiled and said, “Looks like my parents like you a lot.”
Yu Lian’er lowered her head shyly.
Her heart was very happy.

City Lord’s residence.
Xin Ling led the white horse into the residence.
Her skirt swayed, her steps were fast, and she hummed an unfamiliar song.
The house servant happened to be walking towards her, “Didn’t Young Miss go out for a horse ride? Why come back so quickly?”
Xin Ling patted the white horse’s neck, “It’s been tamed, Xiaobai is very obedient now.”
“Huh, really?”
The servant looked carefully.
He saw the white horse lowering its head as Xin Ling rubbed it, docile like a little lamb.
“Has it really been tamed?”
The servant was stunned.
This horse has a trace of “Zouwu” blood, and if it grows up, its strength is comparable to that of a fierce demon beast.
And its character is arrogant and proud, and it is very difficult to tame.
Xin Ling kept begging to ride it, having no other choice, Master allowed her to go out for a ride in the end.
But who would have thought, it can really be tamed?
The servant asked curiously, “How did Young Miss do it?”
Xin Ling scratched her head, “Actually, there was someone else who helped~”
Thinking of that handsome man, a smile appeared in her eyes.
“Where is my father?”
She had to tell him the news quickly.
The servant said: “Master is in the living room, there seems to be a guest.”
Xin Ling nodded, “I will see him right away.”
She then handed over the reins to the servant and walked into the hall.
Looking at her dancing ponytail, the servant pinched his chin, “Young miss seems to be in a good mood.”
“Neigh!!!”
As soon as Xin Ling left, the white horse suddenly became restless.
The servant was startled and hurriedly pulled it into the stable.
###
Living Room.
Xin Ling knocked on the door.
After a while, a voice came from the room: “Come in.”
Xin Ling pushed the door open and entered.
She saw a middle-aged man sitting at the table.
He was tall, with sharp eyes, and had an aura of arrogance.
He was the City Lord of Nanli, Xin Bai.
“Ling’er, you’re back.”
“Father.”
Xin Ling looked at the figure sitting before him, “She is…”
The woman was dressed in green daoist robe, with clear eyebrows and the sharp aura of a drawn long sword.
Xin Bai said: “This is Imperial Censor Chen of the Demon Extermination Division, Miss Chen, this is my daughter Xin Ling.”
“Imperial Censor Chen?”
Xin Ling was stunned for a moment, “Are you Chen Qingluan?”
Chen Qingluan raised her eyebrows slightly, “Miss Xin knows me?”
Xin Ling regained her senses, shook her head and said, “I have heard of your name.”
Chen Qingluan is a genius of the sword dao, and a top talent that can be matched with Zhan Qingchen.
She was a fourth-rank imperial official, equivalent to a prefectural lord of a region. Her official rank was higher than Xin Bai. Moreover, she was still young.
In addition, her father also had a great background, and was a great sword dao master proclaimed by Empress Linlang herself.
“Why did she suddenly come to Nanli City?”
Xin Ling was a little curious.
Xin Bai said: “Ling’er, you came at the right time. Don’t you often go to the Su residence? Please lead the way for Miss Chen.”
Xin Ling wondered, “What will Miss Chen do at the Su residence?”
Chen Qingluan said: “To wish them a Happy New Year.”
“Happy New Year?”
Xin Ling frowned slightly.
She had never heard that the Su family had a relationship with the Chen family in Weiyang Capital.
Xin Bai explained: “Miss Chen and Sir Duke are good friends. She came to visit the Su family this time. She was worried that it would be too sudden so asked us to introduce her.”
“But unfortunately, Sir Duke has not been home for a long time.”
“If there is any news about him, I will inform Miss Chen as soon as possible.”
Chen Qingluan nodded, “I have bothered City Lord Xin.”
“You are too polite…”
Before Xin Bai finished speaking, he only heard Xin Ling say, “Su Shi has returned.”
There was silence for a moment.
Xin Bai frowned, “What did you just say?”
Xin Ling shrugged, “I said that Su Shi has returned. I just met him, so he should have arrived at the Su residence by now.”
Chen Qingluan suddenly stood up.
“Are you serious? Su Shi is really back?!”
