C502 Find Yuner (2/2)
”Speaking of which, it's because these slaves are too stupid, they will believe whatever I say.”
”City Lord, what happened today was Ling'er's fault. Please punish me, Mayor. ” Ling'er knelt on the ground with utmost sincerity.
Qing Xun's gaze fell upon Ling'er, and his heart was calm. Ling'er was an intelligent woman, but at the same time, she was also difficult to control. If you make a mistake, she will kill you without any hesitation.
This was a double-edged sword.
As for her previous change in attitude, it didn't matter to him at all. Back then, he could even control a girl like A Yue, but how could he not control Ling'er? As he thought about it, Qing Xun replied, ”I'm not angry, you've only done what you should have done.”
”Mayor …” Ling'er blankly stared at him.
”You are the pawn of those people. Even if I destroy you, the next person to come will be the same as you. There is no loyalty between you and me. As long as you continue to serve me and the City Lord's Mansion in the future, it will be enough.
If you can do it, then stand up confidently. Don't kneel in front of me. ”
Qing Xun said coldly.
Yun'er quickly stood up and looked at Qing Xun, his heart thumping. At first, he thought that she was going to die here. After all, the city lord was fine. There was even a possibility for his to ascend to the next level, even though the slave market underground was gone … But it didn't affect him at all.
She had gone overboard with her words before. If it was someone else, they would probably throw her away, right?
As she thought about it, Yun'er's eyes drooped slightly, as though she had made some sort of decision in her heart. The look in her eyes turned resolute.
”City Lord, there is someone outside who claims to be the young master of the Medicine Valley.” A respectful voice sounded from outside. It was obvious that this was the first time White Mirrorjade had taken the initiative to enter through the main entrance. But these guards didn't recognize White Mirrorjade.
This was the reason for the announcement.
”Invite someone in.” Qing Xun said, his heart filled with doubt. White Mirrorjade is coming over now?
”City Lord, did we kill him? If White Mirrorjade hadn't been the enemy, we wouldn't have been so passive. and even lost the underground slave market. ” Ling'er's eyes were filled with killing intent.
Qing Xun shook his head, ”No need, in this slave market, prosperity is bound to decline, even if it isn't them, in the future, there will be others who will pay attention to it. To retreat in a hurry was what a smart person should do. Furthermore … The idea of colluding with the enemy didn't hold water.
He's never been on our side. We're the ones who asked him for help. ”
Qing Xun said calmly.
”I never thought that the City Lord of Qing Xun would be such a transparent person. This way, I can feel much more at ease.” Outside the door, the man's voice sounded haughtily. With that, the door was kicked open.
The black-robed elder was in front, protecting his master.
As for White Mirrorjade, he stood there, dressed in rich clothes. Elegant appearance. Her appearance was as smooth as jade and did not seem to fit at all.
”Young Valley Master will come to my City Lord's Mansion again, I am much more at ease now. Ling'er, serve tea. and then invite the Lady over here. ” Qing Xun said.
”But Madam's body …” Ling'er was a bit worried.
”No matter. Young Valley Master must have come here today to fulfill my wish.” After all … That little slave was given to Young Valley Master. ” Qing Xun instructed.
After Ling'er heard what he said, she could only pour him some tea before leaving to do some work. As she walked past White Mirrorjade, Ling'er couldn't help but glare at him. It was obvious that she was extremely dissatisfied with him. However, White Mirrorjade didn't bother to look at her.
He walked into the house and poured the tea on the floor.
The smile was still in his eyes, ”This cup of tea is for the people who died in the underground cave.” Although this young master does not wish to save others, but I respect those who have died. ”
Qing Xun raised his eyebrows. This fellow, he was clearly provoking him, yet he still spoke so arrogantly.
