Xin Ling lifted her skirt and ran quickly like a little rabbit.
Su Shi finally caught up with her.
After what happened just now, they both became reluctant to go shopping.
All the way to the City Lord’s mansion.
Xin Ling looked down, her cheeks were hot and flushed, and her mind was in disarray
“I’ve really gone crazy.”
“I’m not a 6 or 7 year old kid who can do this kind of thing on the street.”
She didn’t know what she was thinking, before she realised it, she had kissed him.
“That’s it.”
“He must think I’m a silly girl.”
Xin Ling couldn’t wait to find a hole in the ground to enter.
Su Shi said, “Miss Xin…”
Xin Ling shuddered, “What, what’s wrong?”
“We have arrived.” Su Shi said
She looked up, only to realise that she had unknowingly arrived in front of the gate of the City Lord’s mansion.
“Thank you for taking me home.”
Xin Ling didn’t dare to look at him, “Then I’ll leave first?”
Su Shi was also a little embarrassed.
He had always been the only one to kiss others forcefully, but this time he was attacked twice by the other party.
This was ridiculous!
At this time, the servant had just come out.
“Miss?”
After seeing Su Shi on the side, he could only be stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly knelt on the ground, “This servant greets Sir Duke!”
“Why is Sir Duke with Young Miss?”
“Is it really as rumoured?”
The servant did not dare to think further.
Su Shi nodded and said, “Get up.”
The servant stood up and said respectfully: “I didn’t know that Sir Duke was here, please forgive us for not preparing a proper welcome, I will report to the City Lord now.”
Su Shi shook his head and said, “I’m just taking Miss Xin home, so there’s no need to bother.”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
“Take care, sir.”
The servant breathed a sigh of relief and quietly said: “Fortunately, he didn’t come in, otherwise there would be a big mess!”
He turned his head to look at Xin Ling, “Miss, you’re back, I was going out to find you.”
Xin Ling wondered, “What happened?”
The servant whispered: “There’s a guest in the house, it’s the deaconist from Tianji Pavilion...”
Before he could finish speaking, his expression froze on his face.
He saw Su Shi, who had just left, suddenly leave and return.
The servant forced a smile and said, “Sir Duke, is there any other business?”
Su Shi said, “I suddenly wanted to come in and sit down, I’m sure City Lord won’t mind, right?”
The butler hurriedly said: “Of course not.”
Su Shi smiled, “Lead the way.”
“Yes.”
The servant looked nervous.
Su Shi was the Shengzi of Demonic path, so he wouldn’t come into conflict with Tianji Pavilion, right?
Living room.
A daoist nun wearing a robe with cloud embroidery sat on a chair.
Xin Bai said: “Miss daoist please wait, my daughter will be back soon.”
Although he was the lord of Nanli City, he was but a meaningless speck of dust before a giant like Tianji Pavilion.
It was an existence that could fight against dynasty imperials and demon imperials.
Even if the other party was just a deaconist, there should be no arrogance.
The daoist nun said lightly, “It’s okay.”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Xin Bai said, “Come in.”
The door was pushed open, and Xin Ling and the servant entered.
“Father.”
“Ling’er, you’re back, this is the deaconist of Tianji Pavilion...”
At this moment, Xin Bai was stunned when he saw the man behind her.
“Sir Duke?!”
Xin Bai felt a chill on his back.
How could Su Shi have come?
Normally, he would naturally welcome him, but today the deaconist from Tianji Pavilion was also here.
Righteous and demonic are incompatible with each other.
If something goes wrong, he is afraid that he will offend both sides!
“Sir Duke is here, why don’t you report it first?”
Xin Bai glared at the servant.
The servant said helplessly: “I was going to go out, but Sir Duke came to take Young Miss home, so I was too late to report.”
Xin Bai was a little confused.
Su Shi wouldn’t suspect that slhe was secretly colluding with the righteous path, right?
“Sir Duke?”
The daoist nun frowned slightly and turned to look.
Seeing the man in the white coat, she immediately shuddered, and hurriedly stood up, “Diaconist Feiyunfeng, greets Shouzuo Su!”
“Shouzuo?”
The air was silent.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Su Shi sat on the chair alone, “It’s fine, you guys talk, I’m just here to sit.”
After seeing Su Shi sit down, the daoist nun dared to sit down.
Her back was straight, with a kind of cautious demeanour, different from the previous indifference.
Xin Bai’s throat moved.
What is this situation?
Even if Su Shi was a Duke, it was still an imperial court title. In front of Tianji Pavilion, his identity was different…
But looking at this nun’s respectful appearance, it was as if she had seen her immediate superior.
Xin Ling was also confused.
“Su Shi, why does daoist nun call you Shouzuo?”
Without waiting for Su Shi to speak, the daoist nun replied proactively: “Shouzuo Su is our sect’s Honoured Guest, and he is also the peak master of Tianxuan Peak.
In the sect, she has seen Su Shi’s heroic performance.
That’s the person who can comprehend the alchemy and artifact refining. Even the elders would respectfully call out “Grand Master Su” when they saw him.
“Peak Master?!”
“Honoured Guest?!”
Xin Bai’s scalp was slightly numb.
Except for a few powerhouses, only the sects in the Land of Great Clouds knew what happened in Tianji Pavilion.
Nanli City was in a remote place in the Southwest Region, so he didn’t know that Su Shi still had this layer of identity!
Xin Ling stared at Su Shi blankly.
This person was not only a Shengzi of the Demonic path, but also an imperial court minister, and then an Honoured Guest of Tianji Pavilion?
His identity is too complicated!
Su Shi played with the teacup, “Why do you come to Nanli City?”
He was originally about to leave.
But after the servant mentioned the words “Tianji Pavilion”, he immediately changed his mind.
He didn’t know the purpose of the other party’s visit, but it seemed to have something to do with Xin Ling?
The daoist nun said respectfully, “I have come to invite Miss Xin to join the sect by order of the third elder.”
Su Shi frowned slightly.
Tianji Pavilion was a sect of the righteous path, with an unique status, and not attached to ordinary people.
Now, they took the initiative to invite Xin Ling?
The daoist nun explained: “Ten years ago, the third elder passed through Nanli City and found that Miss Xin was a perfect dao innate body, so she was moved by the love of talent and wanted to include her in the sect.”
Su Shi’s brows furrowed further, “Why did you come to pick her up now after something happened over ten years ago?”
Daoist nun smiled bitterly and said, “Not just now, I have come every year, but Miss Xin has always been reluctant to leave Nanli, saying that the person she is waiting for has not returned yet…”
Su Shi was stunned.
Xin Bai sighed.
Because of that, he almost died from anger back then.
Being invited by Tianji Pavilion was a great opportunity.
But the girl didn’t want to go.
Xin Ling’s cheeks were slightly red, and she said softly, “Now that person is back.“
