Experts who could cultivate to Lin Xiu's level were not fools. He also sensed some useful information from the change in this expert's tone.
It seemed that the other party also knew about Liu Cheng's matter and was afraid that someone would accidentally implicate the old couple, so he used such obscure words to remind Lin Xiu.
But in this case, Lin Xiu could also see that this expert in front of him must have a certain relationship with Liu Cheng, but it was not to the point where they would be friends for life and death. Otherwise, if he saw a suspicious person like Lin Xiu, he might just kill him directly. Why would he try to persuade him?
Because Lin Xiu's control of his own strength was extremely restrained, even this Dao Enlightenment realm expert could not detect the slightest clue. Looking at the fluctuations of power all over Lin Xiu's body, he was only at the peak of the Creation realm, and his heart was a lot more at ease.
In this expert's view, even if someone wanted to use Shou Zhou City as a starting point to slowly investigate Liu Cheng's whereabouts, then the person sent would definitely not be a Creation realm warrior. Such a person was not even qualified to fill the gaps between Liu Cheng's teeth.
And Lin Xiu's words also won the kindness of this expert. He thought for a moment, then glanced at Lin Xiu, then said slowly: "Although your strength is currently extremely weak, to be able to achieve such achievements at this age, you can be considered as a young talent. I wonder if you are interested in working in Shou Zhou City?"
Lin Xiu was taken aback at first, then reacted and suddenly revealed an indescribable expression on his face.
"I am indebted to senior's kindness, this junior is willing to follow senior everywhere."
Seeing that Lin Xiu was so tactful, the middle-aged man also nodded slightly, then then told Lin Xiu his true identity.
It turned out that this middle-aged man was the Shou Zhou City Lord, and he had received guidance from Liu Cheng in his early years. Therefore, after betraying Yao Kun, he also tried his best to protect this old couple, so that they would not be harmed by outsiders.
The man did not say much about the specifics because in his view, Lin Xiu was just a guest who came halfway and met by chance. He did not know the other party's background at all, so it was best not to tell him so much.
Since Lin Xiu had already defected to the city lord of Shou Zhou City, he finally had some confidence in this city and the two returned to the city lord residence.
But what surprised Lin Xiu was that the City Lord Residence was actually located in an extremely remote place, and there was not even a guard in front of the door, which was really too incredible.
After all, even a bottom-ranked city like Cloudsea City still had extremely luxurious facades. However, Longevity Prefecture City was a famous city under Yao Kun's command, yet the City Governor's Mansion was so shabby. It was truly inexcusable.
Seeing Lin Xiu\'s surprised expression, the middle-aged man did not care and said loudly, "We cultivators don\'t need to care about those false reputations. For us, the pursuit of strength is the only principle. Just like those weaker cities, I alone am enough to trample them to the ground."
These words made Lin Xiu nod slightly, then he suddenly raised his head. It seemed that this middle-aged man was still hiding his strength. In his perception, this man was only at the middle stage of the Dao Comprehension Realm.
"Sometimes, the realm doesn\'t mean everything." The middle-aged man said indifferently.
Lin Xiu agreed with this point. After all, his current strength was only at the peak of the Creation Realm. However, with his many trump cards, even if he were to fight against a powerful existence in the Venerable Realm, Lin Xiu would not be afraid at all.
When he entered the City Lord Residence, Lin Xiu realized that it was a completely different world. Although some of the furnishings were still very simple, the intensity of the Dao power here was beyond one\'s reach.
And in Lin Xiu\'s perception, there were as many as 10 powerful existences that had reached the Dao Comprehension Realm. Shou Zhou City was indeed an extremely powerful city under Yao Kun\'s command. It was evident from the number of experts.
The middle-aged man personally led Lin Xiu to a small and unique pavilion, then took out many books from his spatial ring. He even patted Lin Xiu on the shoulder and patiently instructed, "Although I still don\'t know your background, from your attitude towards the old couple in that small restaurant, I know that you\'re a good person. And I, Lin Ping, naturally like to make friends with heroes. I hope that you\'ll live up to my expectations and break through to the Dao Comprehension Realm as soon as possible."
After the middle-aged man left a large pile of books, he turned and left without the slightest hesitation. Lin Xiu looked at the obviously high level cultivation techniques and martial skills in front of him and fell into silence.
At first, he came to Shou Zhou City with the intention of finding Liu Cheng\'s whereabouts and using it to exchange for the high-end cultivation techniques that he needed. But this City Lord of Shou Zhou City named Lin Ping did not have the slightest guard against him, which made him feel a little warm in his heart.
It was just that it was difficult to draw a tiger from a person\'s bones. One might know a person\'s face but not his heart. After all, Lin Xiu had just come into contact with Lin Ping and did not know the other party\'s true nature. If all this was Lin Ping acting, then it could only mean that this person\'s schemes were really too deep.
At this moment, Lin Xiu had even made up his mind that if the other party really did not have much to do with Liu Cheng\'s matter, then he would definitely befriend him.
In the next few days, Lin Xiu slowly spent his time in his pavilion, and Lin Ping was also very understanding. He sent a guard to bring some food every time it was time to eat and put it at the door of the pavilion.
As the City Lord of Shou Zhou City, Lin Ping\'s collection was naturally not ordinary. These cultivation techniques were naturally of a much higher level than those obtained from Cloud Sea City. It was also a very big move for Lin Xiu. Lin Xiu even dug out more mysteries about the Star Technique from these cultivation techniques and martial skills.
However, although Lin Xiu had the intention to continue cultivating here quietly, his message token was emitting a red light at this moment.
"Brother Lin, you\'ve been in Shou Zhou City for a few days, did you find anything?" Zhu Hai\'s voice came from the message token, causing Lin Xiu to frown slightly.
After all, he was a guest of the Venerable Residence, and it was not difficult for the other party to know his whereabouts. Thus, Lin Xiu only pondered for a moment and replied, "Brother Zhu, I have successfully infiltrated the Shou Zhou City Lord Residence and want to use Lin Ping as a breakthrough point to see if I can pry out Liu Cheng\'s whereabouts from his mouth."
