The carriage stopped.
Judging from the voice, the visitor was between twenty and twenty-five years old.
Jiang Wang lifted the curtain and saw a young official wearing a small brown hat. He was only at the Heavenly Cycle realm. However, his official uniform was enough for the coachman to stop the carriage.
"How old are you?" Jiang Wang's first question stunned him.
"I'm twenty-two," the official said honestly.
The voice of an old man was naturally different from that of a young man. However, the clear age was due to the Five Immortals Dream Command.
Jiang Wang nodded with satisfaction. "Speak. Why are you looking for me?"
"I'm an official of Tianfu City. The higher-ups have ordered me to invite you to the City Lord's Mansion. Our City Lord is waiting for you there. As soon as I received news of your appearance at the docks, I hurried over. "
Tianfu City's City Lord is looking for me?
Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat. He immediately got off the carriage. "I'll go with you."
He turned to the coachman and said, "Please wait here. I'll set off after I'm done."
Seeing that this guest was even related to Tianfu City's City Lord, the coachman didn't dare to object. He bowed his head respectfully. "Sir, don't worry."
There were too many ways for Tianfu City's City Lord to find Jiang Wang. Not to mention stopping a boat in the coastal waters. With Tianfu City's superior status in Linhai County, Jiang Wang could have stopped him the moment he appeared at the docks.
Although this official said that he had rushed over as soon as he received the news, it seemed that he was just a bit slow. However, Jiang Wang felt that Tianfu City's City Lord didn't want to look for him with great fanfare.
This matter was somewhat secretive.
Could it be … related to the Tianfu Mystic Realm?
Jiang Wang felt his heartbeat quicken.
Tianfu City's officials didn't talk much. Jiang Wang didn't say anything either. He even took out a cloak from his storage box and put it on. Just like that, he walked into Tianfu City in silence.
The City Lord's Mansion's architectural style leaned towards heavy and solemn.
The Master of Tianfu City, whom he had met last time, was not arrogant. As soon as Jiang Wang stepped into the study and took off his cloak, he stood up to greet him.
"Da Qi is back from Tianjiao!" He sounded very happy.
He casually glanced at the cloak in Jiang Wang's hand. Although he didn't say anything, his expression was clearly satisfied.
The Lord of Tianfu City was surnamed Lu, and his name was Lü Zongxiao.
To be able to control a place like Tianfu City, his status was not inferior to that of the County Governor. Moreover, he was in the prime of his life, and there was still a chance for him to break through to the God Realm. His future was limitless. The few times he had treated Jiang Wang with courtesy, it could be said that he had bent over backward to befriend him.
Of course, Jiang Wang wouldn't be arrogant. He said with a smile, "After seeing the Castellan, I finally realized that I've left the turbulent journey on the sea and returned to the territory of my family."
Lv Zongxiao laughed and said, "Yes, we're family!"
The door to the study had already been closed by the servants. The Lord of Tianfu City's subordinates were standing guard outside, which undoubtedly showed the secrecy of this conversation.
Jiang Wang was impatient. He sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries, then said, "Your servant said that you summoned me for an important matter. What are the rules?"
Lü Zongxiao said in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, I'm a few years older than you, so I'll call you brother."
Although the Lord of Tianfu City had the intention to treat Jiang Wang differently, his attitude had improved after Jiang Wang's name had shaken the islands.
However, Jiang Wang had no enmity with him, and he didn't have any issues with his position. There was no need to push his friend away.
Thus, he decisively said, "Brother Lu, if you have something to say, say it."
Lü Zongxiao's face was rough, and his short beard was like a thorn. He was usually very dignified.
At this moment, he stared seriously at Jiang Wang. The atmosphere naturally became serious: "Brother Jiang, tell me honestly, where did your friend come from?"
Who?
Jiang Wang's mind spun quickly. With some uneasiness and anticipation, he asked tentatively: "Zhu Biqiong?"
"She's the little girl you sent into the Tianfu Secret Realm."
Jiang Wang had nothing to hide and said honestly: "She's my good friend, the personal disciple of Granny Bizhu, the elder in charge of the Ocean-Fishing Tower. She's innocent and doesn't have any tricks up her sleeve. There's nothing special about her. Brother Lu, you should know about her trial at the Tianya Stage. "
True Lord Chen Du, Wei Xun, was also present at the Sea Sacrificial Ceremony.
If Zhu Biqiong was really special, she couldn't have hidden it from Wei Xun's eyes.
Jiang Wang's words were very clear, and Lü Zongxiao had no room for doubt.
However, he still sat there, somewhat troubled.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Wang couldn't hide his eagerness: "Did something happen?"
"I don't know if it's good or bad." Lü Zongxiao sighed and said: "The little girl you sent into the Tianfu Secret Realm, she … came out."
Bang!
"What?"
Jiang Wang hurriedly stood up, and the strength in his hands scattered, breaking the armrest of the chair.
He couldn't care less about being rude: "Is what you said true?"
"How can it be false?" Lü Zongxiao could understand and said gently: "It's just that this matter is a bit strange. First, at that time, you said that you only wanted to send her into the Tianfu Secret Realm to be buried with her family. You didn't say that she would come out. Second, the Tianfu Secret Realm's recuperation period hasn't passed, so there shouldn't be any natural harvest. Third … You and I both know that in her condition at that time, she couldn't have survived. No one knows what exactly happened. "
Lü Zongxiao didn't say it clearly, but he had expressed what he wanted to say.
First, he wanted to hold them accountable. At that time, they said that they would only send her to be buried. Why was it different from what they said? How did you treat your promise? How did you do things? You said that you would only bury her, but what about the person you sent in? She even explored it?
Entering and not exiting was completely different from entering and exiting. The former could only be considered a slight exception because sending a corpse in had no effect on the Tianfu Secret Realm. The latter completely broke the rule of exploring the Tianfu Secret Realm once every twelve years.
Second, he wanted to tell Jiang Wang how much risk he had taken for this matter. The Tianfu Secret Realm could be said to be the foundation of Tianfu City. It was the foundation of Tianfu City's transcendence. I opened the secret realm for you in advance during the recuperation period. It's not right for you to play this trick.
Third, he wanted to remind Jiang Wang. He wanted to remind Jiang Wang that although Zhu Biqiong came out alive, this matter was strange, so he had to be more careful.
His words were a warning and also a way to rope him in. It was enough to show that this person wasn't simple. He drew a line and expressed his dissatisfaction, but at the same time, he was also close.
Even if he knew that he was being warned, he still felt very close.
From his words, it could also be seen that. Why did he have to be so low-key when meeting Jiang Wang this time? It was because the Tianfu Secret Realm was too important. This sudden change made Lü Zongxiao very worried.
"Big Brother Lu, I promise you in the name of Jiang Wang that I didn't know anything about this matter, nor did I have any premeditated plans. I sent Zhu Biqiong into the secret realm to fulfill her last wish. She wanted to be with her sister. "
Jiang Wang had always had a proper attitude toward the responsibility he should bear. He immediately said, "Why don't you let me take a look at the situation first and see what happened? I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter! "
