"City Lord Zhou?"
Qiu Yuanqi reminded City Lord Zhou with a smile when he saw City Lord Zhou in deep thought.
"Ah, oh …"
City Lord Zhou came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly. He said to the others, "Gentlemen, I don't know much about the Zi Mansion. I only know that it's a merchant family that has been doing business for generations. The Zi Mansion should be a branch of the Zi Clan in the capital city.
Some time ago, many people from the Zi Mansion had died, and all of them died a violent death. It was said that the young lady of the Zi Mansion, Zi Yun, was the bane of her life. She had caused the death of her close relatives, and even her husbands had died a violent death.
However, there was a young master from the Ning Clan who married into the Zi Mansion, but there was no news of his death. There were more rumors that the young master was refining pills in an attempt to become an Immortal. " City Lord Zhou finished speaking in one breath. He paused for a moment and said his guess, "Not long ago, there was a Black Tiger Gang that had dozens of people killed. Their deaths were extremely tragic. My constable, Li Hu, suspected that it was Young Master Ning who did it.
However, not long after, Li Hu was sent to prison by the higher-ups of the Six Doors. "
Refining pills in the furnace?
Dongfang Lingtian and Qiu Yuanqi looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes. They were right.
Chen Xiaoran said that the Zi Mansion had a Qi and Blood Ointment that could turn someone into a Martial Arts expert overnight. It matched the rumors, so the Zi Mansion really did have such an item.
Apart from that, they also deduced that the Zi Mansion should be an ordinary merchant family, and the source of Martial Arts must be the young master.
Otherwise, why would the young master be safe and sound when everyone else was killed by the young master?
"City Lord Zhou, how much do you know about the young master from the Ning Clan?"
Dongfang Lingtian smiled and said.
"It's him!"
City Lord Zhou gasped. He was sure that the two top-notch experts had come for Ning Qi.
In that case, what Li Hu had told him before was not groundless.
"Actually, this Young Master Ning can be considered a disciple of the Ning Mansion. Oh, the Ning Clan that was once executed for the crime of treason."
City Lord Zhou said slowly. He seemed to be reluctant to talk about the Ning Clan.
"So it's the Ning family!" Dongfang Lingtian and Qiu Yuanqi looked at each other. Even Chen Xiaoran, who was at the side, was slightly shocked. Even the people in the pugilistic world had heard of the Ning Clan. After all, the Ning Clan's rebellion was one of the major cases that had occurred in the imperial court for so many years.
。 When the whole family was executed, hundreds of heads rolled on the ground. Among them were three Grand Scholars, the governors of various cities, and a few provincial governors. The head of the Ning family was still a powerful figure in the imperial court at that time, with the exception of the Emperor, his words were second to none.
The green-robed prime minister!
Although the Ning Family was not a martial arts family, the strength of the Ning Family was so strong that even the top martial arts families did not dare to provoke them!
"Could it be that some warriors who entered the Ning Family at that time had passed down some martial arts inheritance, so only the children of the Ning Mansion's side branches can practice martial arts?"
Faces kept flashing through their minds.
At that time, the Ning family was so powerful that even the top experts had worshiped under them. In their hearts, they felt that perhaps it was these top experts who had passed down their martial arts inheritance.
However …
Ning Qi was too young. It was unheard of in the pugilistic world for him to cultivate to such a high level at such a young age.
"Did the two of you come to my Riveryin City specifically for the Zi Mansion?"
City Lord Zhou asked tentatively.
Dongfang Lingtian smiled and shook his head. "Not for the Zi Mansion, but for the son-in-law of the Zi Mansion."
"There's no time to lose. Let's pay a visit today."
Qiu Yuanqi said.
"City Lord Zhou, I wonder if you're willing to accompany us to see the background of the Zi Mansion?"
Dongfang Lingtian smiled.
"Since I have nothing to do, I'll accompany the two of you."
City Lord Zhou nodded. In his heart, he also wanted to see what kind of person the son-in-law of the Zi Mansion was.
Chen Xiaoran was a little excited. Previously, Ning Qi had attacked the Chen Clan, but now, two top experts had come to visit the Zi Mansion. He believed that even if the opponent was a top expert, he would not dare to be arrogant.
…
Zi Mansion.
"What sword technique is the son-in-law practicing? Why is it so slow? Can it stab someone to death?"
Ru Yun and Xiao Lan stood at the corner of the courtyard and looked at Ning Qi curiously.
Ning Qi was holding an ordinary long sword in his hand, dancing at an extremely slow speed. After an hour, Ning Qi finally stopped. White smoke was rising from the top of his head like a steamed bun that had just been taken out of a steamer.
"I'm not sure if this is reality or illusion. Even the Emotion Extinguishing Sword Art has been taken away from me."
Ning Qi looked at the sword in his hand and shook his head with a bitter smile.
However, the only consolation was that this place could take away his cultivation, but not his state of mind.
The Emotion Extinguishing Sword Art was based on the state of mind, regardless of cultivation.
"I wonder if this sword can kill those two from the other day."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Son-In-Law, what sword technique did you just practice?"
Ru Yun asked curiously when she saw that Ning Qi had finished his sword dance.
No matter what, she was still a second-rate warrior, but she couldn't see through the skill of Ning Qi's sword.
"It's just the most ordinary sword technique. It's nothing special."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Son-In-Law, Young Lady wants you to go to the guest hall. She said that the City Lord is here with a few old men. They don't look friendly."
A servant whispered in Xiao Lan's ear. Then, Xiao Lan walked to Ning Qi and whispered.
"Old men? I'm afraid that Chen Xiaoran invited a backer. "
Ning Qi smiled, "Let's go and have a look."
The guest hall of the Zi Mansion.
When Zi Yun heard that City Lord Zhou had come to visit personally, she treated him with the highest standard. Many servants of the Zi Mansion stood in the corner of the guest hall. As soon as the tea in front of City Lord Zhou was a little bit cold, someone would immediately come forward to refill it.
"City Lord Zhou, may I know who these people are?"
Zi Yun sat on the main seat. Her skin was translucent and fair with a tinge of pink. She looked dignified. She glanced at Dongfang Lingtian and the others and opened her red lips.
"The origins of these two seniors are not simple."
City Lord Zhou smiled and pointed at Dongfang Lingtian, "This is Dongfang Lingtian, the family leader of the Dongfang Clan, a leading figure in the Martial Dao."
He then looked at Qiu Yuanqi, "This is the sect leader of the Zheng Yi Sword Sect, Senior Qiu Yuanqi. He is also a leading figure in the Martial Dao."
Leading figure in the Martial Dao?
So he was a top-notch expert?
Zi Yun's eyes moved slightly. Although she was a little surprised, she did not show it on her face. She smiled, "What a rare guest. May I know why the two of you are here?"
"The reason I came here today is to be Brother Chen's lobbyist."
Dongfang Lingtian smiled. The Brother Chen he mentioned was naturally Chen Xiaoran who was standing behind them.
"Oh?"
Zi Yun glanced at Chen Xiaoran. "Don't tell me it's the Chen Family's Patriarch, Chen Xiaoran, who has a black conscience and wants to hide the spirit medicine of my Purple Mansion?" Chen Xiaoran's face instantly became extremely livid when he heard this.
