After Lin Xiu explained what had happened to Tuan Tuan and his family, Liu Laoer secretly complained in his heart.
If these were in normal times, it would not be a big deal. After all, in a world where the strong preyed on the weak, these things were normal.
But he never thought that Lin Xiu could not bear to see his family destroyed. What's more, after experiencing the fortune of the old man, he had a pure heart. Now it was a little difficult for him to handle.
In terms of strength, he was no match for the Lord Envoy in front of him. In terms of status, Lin Xiu was an inner disciple of the Gui Yuan Sect. His status was much higher than his.
At this moment, Liu Laoer cursed his son in his heart many times, but now he could only bite the bullet and say to Lin Xiu, "Lord Envoy, all this has nothing to do with our Liu family. As for the life and death of that unfilial son, it's all up to you."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and call your domineering Third Young Master over. "The City Lord of Cold River City shouted angrily at the master of the Liu family who was kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face.
When it rains, it pours. After failing to deal with Li Ronghao, the Liu Clan had already suffered a great loss. Now that they had offended the High Ambassador of the Gui Yuan Sect, the Liu Clan might really be unable to recover from this setback.
Disheartened, Liu Laoer stood up from the ground, then turned around and left without saying a word.
Only a quarter of an hour later, he came back to the study with his Third Young Master in his hand.
"Unfilial son, kneel down!" Liu Laoer kicked his son directly.
His son had always been arrogant and domineering in Cold River City. He had never seen his father so angry. What's more, standing in front of him was the most powerful City Lord of Cold River City.
With his legs trembling, the Third Young Master of the Liu family knelt down directly. In fear, he even shouted loudly.
"Dad, save me, I don't want to die!"
The City Lord of Cold River City looked at the young man kneeling on the ground with disgust. He hated him to death in his heart.
Originally, after giving a large number of spirit stones, he had already gotten closer to Lin Xiu. But after this incident, perhaps Lin Xiu's impression of him had become much worse!
The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became. He wanted nothing more than to slap the trembling young man in front of him to death.
What was even more unexpected was that not long after, there was a strange smell in the study.
The three of them couldn't help but frown at the same time. Liu Lao 'er was extremely disappointed in his son.
He was actually scared to the point that he pissed his pants at the scene in front of him.
Lin Xiu waved his hand and said to Liu Lao Er, "Liu Family Head, in my opinion, your third young master is not someone who is easy to deal with. He will only ruin the reputation of your Liu Family, but this is your family matter after all, you should handle it yourself."
After saying that, he turned around and left. However, before he could go far, a ghastly wail and wolf howl came from the study.
The City Lord of Cold River City came to Lin Xiu's side and cupped his fists to Lin Xiu, "I've let Lord Envoy see a joke. In the end, it's my fault for not being strict."
Lin Xiu shook his head.
"This has nothing to do with you, City Lord. There are acts of bullying everywhere. Even if you want to manage it, how much can you manage?"
Seeing that Lin Xiu didn't have a bad impression of him, the City Lord of Cold River City was relieved. He said softly to the young man in front of him, "That Liu Lao 'er is really ruthless. He broke his son's legs."
Lin Xiu nodded and said faintly, "It's the father's fault for not teaching his son well. All this is just his own fault."
The two walked side by side toward the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion. Along the way, the City Lord of Cold River City naturally kept flattering Lin Xiu.
All kinds of praises were overflowing in his words, and there was even a hint of flattery in his words.
In this regard, Lin Xiu's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
More than three months ago, he was just a junior in Huai Ning City, but after he became an inner disciple of Gui Yuan Sect, the city lord, who used to be high and mighty in his eyes, a dignified Harmonious Spirit expert, could only fawn on him now.
All this depended on one's own combat strength.
They came to a stone table and sat opposite each other. The City Lord of Cold River City took out a pot of fine wine and personally filled it for Lin Xiu.
"This time, Lord Envoy has come from afar. I've made a fool of myself in front of you. Some families in Cold River City have discussed and have some gifts for Lord Envoy to kindly accept."
After saying this, the City Lord of Cold River City took out a list of gifts and handed it to Lin Xiu to check.
At first glance, Lin Xiu's heart skipped a beat.
The number of heavenly treasures listed on this list was completely beyond his imagination.
It could be said that with these heavenly treasures, he wouldn't have to worry about cultivation resources before breaking through to the Harmonious Spirit Realm.
But Lin Xiu just pondered for a moment and returned the list of gifts to the City Lord of Cold River City. In the other party's puzzled eyes, Lin Xiu behaved quite calmly.
"I accepted your spirit stones yesterday because I did something for Cold River City. If I accept those, I have a clear conscience. But these gifts are really too expensive. I'm still young and can't afford them. "
After many times of persuasion to no avail, the City Lord of Cold River City had to give up his idea, but in his heart, he once again thought highly of Lin Xiu.
Being able to remain calm in front of so many precious treasures showed that Lin Xiu's mind was firm.
With the help of these treasures, Lin Xiu's cultivation would definitely advance by leaps and bounds. But he actually resisted this temptation, which meant that Lin Xiu must have a long-term goal in his heart and his vision would not be limited to some small things.
After sighing in his heart again, the City Lord of Cold River City and Lin Xiu enjoyed the scenery in the garden, drank the wine, and looked happy and harmonious.
However, at this time, Lin Xiu suddenly thought of Tuan Tuan. He wouldn't stay in Cold River City for long.
When he left, how would Tuan Tuan be settled? This was a problem.
The City Lord of Cold River City was also an old fox for being able to reach his current high position. How could he not guess Lin Xiu's thoughts?
But since Lin Xiu didn't take the initiative to mention it, he naturally wouldn't take this matter on himself. As long as Lin Xiu opened his mouth, it meant that he owed him a favor. This old fox was very cunning.
Both the old and the young were thinking about their own things. Lin Xiu didn't know how to open his mouth on this matter, while the City Lord of Cold River City was calmly tasting the wine there.
After a while, Lin Xiu said, "Tomorrow, I will leave Cold River City. I hope that the City Lord can take care of that little girl."
A smile appeared on the face of the City Lord of Cold River City. He nodded to Lin Xiu, "It's just a small matter. Lord Envoy, don't worry and leave it to me!"
