Chapter 31 The City Lord Visits
"Hey, what are you doing? Get up, get up."

Shen Qiu hated to see others kneeling down to him, let alone his "first wife" Qingluan.

He hurried forward and tried to help Qingluan up, but Qingluan knelt straight and refused to get up.

"Qingluan acted on her own and did not inform me in advance. Please punish me, my lord!" The stubborn Qingluan lowered her head with a firm tone.

"Hey, I thought it was something else, it's just this, get up!"

Shen Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Qingluan was truly loyal and was so cautious even with the smallest matters.

"But my lord..."

"No buts, your master hates those red tapes. Look, our Fanlou is open for business, and everyone who comes is a guest. They can come here, which means they think highly of our Fanlou. We should arrange the best rooms for them, which is what we should do."

Shen Qiu thought about it and simply changed the subject.

"Alright, alright, your master, I know what's going on. Stand up and tell me their origins!"

Seeing that Shen Qiu had no intention of blaming her, Qingluan slowly stood up and explained the whole story.

After a while.

Shen Qiu lay leisurely in the rocking chair, holding a glass of unknown wine in his hand, listening to Qingluan's report.

"You mean, that Chen Jianyu is a powerful martial arts master?" Shen Qiu raised his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

"Yes, my lord." Qingluan nodded and said respectfully.

"You were able to invite a martial arts master to our Fanlou, which is a great achievement and a good thing!"

If the news that Shen Qiu, the Thirteenth Sword Master, could live in his mortal building spread out, I wonder how many people would envy, envy, and hate him.

By then, won’t Fanlou’s business be able to reach a higher level?

Besides, with Chen Jianyu here, the safety of Fanlou will be raised to a higher level.

Shen Qiu thought happily, the corners of his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

He narrowed his eyes and took a sip of the wine in the glass. A sweet taste exploded on the tip of his tongue, but the taste of the wine was far less wonderful than his current mood.

"My Lord, there is one more thing..."

After talking about Chen Jianyu, Qingluan mentioned Shangguan Lie who caused trouble in Fanlou.

"Oh? This is interesting. Who is Shangguan Lie and how dare he target our Fanlou?" Shen Qiu's face suddenly turned cold after hearing this.

"According to Shangguan Lie's own account, he is a descendant of the Shangguan family in Yunxiao City. He often does things of robbery and plunder by relying on his family's power and his cultivation."

Seeing that Shen Qiu was interested, Qing Luan began to describe the situation in detail, "This time, the owners of several restaurants in Tianhuang City paid a large sum of money to invite him to come to Fanlou to cause trouble..."

"Shangguan Lie is really a bully who only cares about the weak and the strong. He relies on his own skills to ride on our Fanlou's head and shit. Does he really think I am made of mud?"

Shen Qiu's eyes were slightly cold, and a fire of anger was burning in his chest.

Although he likes to lie down and treats people kindly, it doesn't mean that he is kind and easy to bully.

When he came into this world, Shen Qiu initially followed the thinking of modern people and naively believed that it was better to have less trouble than more.

But later, after he experienced a series of things such as being ruthlessly driven away by the city guards and being scorned by fellow beggars when he went to a dilapidated temple, Shen Qiu's thoughts had already changed.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, blindly giving in will only make you a fat piece of meat in the eyes of others.

"Qingluan, send our people to find out the situation of these restaurant owners, and then... wipe them out all at once." A cold light flashed in Shen Qiu's eyes, and his tone was cold.

He had already made up his mind, either not to do it, or to do it once and for all. "Yes, my lord!"

Hearing this, Qingluan took the order and left, and she also felt murderous.

Qingluan took the order and left. Just as he was about to arrange personnel to go into the city to find out the details of those restaurant owners, he saw a commotion outside Fanlou.

"What's going on?" Shen Qiu also noticed something strange. He put down his wine glass and frowned slightly.

"My lord, it seems to be someone from the City Lord's Mansion..." Qingluan walked to the window, looked outside, and suddenly his expression became solemn.

Hundreds of heavy cavalrymen in silver armor, surrounding an exquisite golden sedan chair, marched towards Fanlou in a mighty procession.

"City Lord's Mansion?"

Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself: "Is he here to cause trouble again?"

Although he has the support of Jiuxuannv and the system behind him, he is a newcomer after all and is unfamiliar with the place. It is best not to offend the local bosses if possible.

"Qingluan, go and take a look at the situation. Remember not to be rude." Shen Qiu pondered for a moment and ordered.

"Yes, my lord." Qingluan responded, turned and walked downstairs.

After a while, Qingluan moved lightly with lotus steps and soon arrived outside the gate of Fanlou.

Her beautiful eyes swept across the group of heavy cavalrymen in distinctive armor, and finally stopped on the golden sedan chair.

The sedan was covered with gauze, so it was impossible to see who was sitting inside. However, the faint pressure it emanated made Qingluan's heart tremble. The cultivation aura of the person coming was not much different from hers, and he should be at the peak of the Martial Emperor realm.

"The Lord of the City is here!"

Following the loud shout of the leading soldier, the building suddenly fell silent. Everyone stopped what they were doing, walked to the window, and looked at the person who came.

Outside the Fan Building, the city lord's arrival was undoubtedly like a stone that caused ripples on the originally calm lake.

Qingluan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she secretly guessed the purpose of the city lord's visit. Could it be because of Shangguan Lie's matter?
Just as he was wondering, the golden sedan slowly stopped and a middle-aged man in a black brocade robe and with a dignified face walked out of the sedan.

This man walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, with an imposing manner. He just stood there quietly, but gave people a feeling of awe without even being angry. It was Su Yue.

"Greetings to the Lord City Lord!!"

At this time, all the guests in the building had come out and bowed to show their respect.

"I didn't know that the city lord was coming. I, Qingluan, failed to greet you in person. I hope you will forgive me!" Qingluan also bowed slightly, but her tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

"You are welcome, young lady. Please inform your master and tell him that Su Yue is here to visit you and has something important to discuss."

Su Yue did not put on airs and instead spoke in a very polite tone.

"I will go and inform my master right away. Please come in and rest for a while, Lord City Lord."

Qingluan smiled sweetly, her eyes moving with a charming look that was enchanting.

"You are too polite, young lady. I will wait and see." Su Yue nodded and followed Qingluan into Fanlou.

Seeing this, Qingluan smiled, then went up to the top floor and told Shen Qiu the purpose of Su Yue's visit.

When the guests returned to Fanlou, they relaxed when they saw that the city lord was so approachable and continued to eat and drink, only occasionally they would whisper a few words, guessing the city lord's purpose.

"Who is the backer of this Fanlou that even the city lord can come to visit in person?"
