Chapter 383 The Great Secret of the City Lord
Lu Mo felt the oppressive atmosphere around him. The city lord and Xichen were so suppressed that it was frightening. Lu Mo couldn't even hear the sound of breathing.Lu Mo silently turned his head and looked back and forth at the two of them. The three of them seemed to be placed in a solidified space.The city lord suddenly let out a deep and long sigh. He first glanced at Xichen, and then moved his gaze to Lu Mo.

"Lu Mo, I remember you have always been very interested in what I'm planning? How about it, are you interested in listening?"

"The city lord is so kind to satisfy my curiosity, I don't think he is so kind as to let me listen for nothing?"

"Of course, you have to keep it secret for me after listening to it. If you can't do this, you can choose to continue to be curious, or after listening to the answer..."

After the city lord was silent for a long time, he found Lu Mo when he spoke again, and it turned out to be such a big deal when he opened his mouth. Lu Mo really didn't know whether he should be flattered, or should he say that the city lord had a strange brain circuit.But the city lord has made the conditions very clear. It seems that his big secret is really not easy to hear.Lu Mo already understood the inner and outer meaning of the city lord's words, but Lu Mo really didn't think about whether to listen to this big secret.

The city lord also said just now that if Lu Mo heard this big secret to satisfy his curiosity, he could only choose to keep it secret for him, or keep his mouth shut forever.Of course, keeping the city lord a secret can't be done simply by keeping silent. With the city lord's usual style of doing things, Lu Mo might have to become "one of his own" if he hears this secret.In this way, the city lord will feel at ease with Lu Mo, but Lu Mo obviously wants to be ordered by the city lord.

"Why, you can restrain your curiosity. As far as I know, you should not be such a person. And...you seem to be interested in some old things, why don't I tell you later?"

The city lord saw that Lu Mo was hesitant to keep silent all the time, and the city lord decisively increased his bargaining chip. It was just that the old things that the city lord said did not seem to attract much to Lu Mo.But since the city lord had spoken, Lu Mo naturally heard it.Lu Mo suddenly noticed that Xichen was staring at him, and then thought that the "old things" just mentioned by the city lord might refer to something related to Xichen's parents.

"It seems that there is no other choice to choose, so I'd better satisfy my curiosity, but the city lord should not lie to us."

Lu Mo sighed in his heart and shook his head. He jumped into the hole dug by the city lord again.It's just that Lu Mo still adheres to a principle. When dealing with the city lord, it is best to buy insurance for himself, and Xichen is obviously the best insurance.Not to mention that Lu Mo dragged Xichen into the water so that the city lord was facing "us", and Xichen looked at him eagerly, fearing that he could only grit his teeth and jump into the pit.

"Okay, I promise I won't lie to you, but you must abide by the agreement, and even if you don't abide by the agreement, I'm afraid I can make you obedient."

The city lord nodded in satisfaction. After hearing what the city lord said, Lu Mo couldn't help but sighed again.Lu Mo once again let the city lord cheat him. Lu Mo regarded Xichen as an insurance, so why didn't the city lord think so.Since the matter involved Xichen, it was not Lu Mo's business alone, but in the end, Lu Mo was asked to keep the city lord's secrets alone, or even run errands for the city lord. Lu Mo deeply felt that this was unfair.

"I know that you investigated those old things before, mostly to help Xichen find out his life experience. I think you all know a lot of things, or maybe you don't. However, this is not very important, no matter what you knew before. How much, this time I will tell the things from a distance. I will talk in detail, I hope you can listen carefully, and I will talk about something after listening to it. "

The city lord seemed to have really made up his mind this time, although Lu Mo did not doubt the sincerity of the city lord.But I always felt that the decision of the city lord was not made hastily just now, but seemed to have been made a long time ago.Lu Mo even felt that the city lord knew that at this time, he was still carrying out his mysterious big plan, and telling Lu Mo and the others the secrets about this plan might be part of the city lord's plan.

"It starts a long time ago. At that time... I was not the city lord at that time, and no one would call me the city lord. My name was Zhou Yiming, and I was the direct heir of the Pure Land Zhou family. At that time... ..."

The city lord took a deep breath, leaned back and closed his eyes, as if he was talking and returning to the past time along with the memories.Lu Mo withdrew his gaze from looking at the city lord, and exchanged glances with Xichen beside him and nodded.The things the city lord said were the same as what Lu Mo had investigated before.What the city lord said was completely confirmed this time, and the city lord personally revealed the fact that he was Zhou Yiming.

Lu Mo and the others have already made some conclusions before, for example, the city lord is Zhou Yiming, and Xichen's mother is actually a descendant of the Wu family, etc.Knowing these things that have already been researched, Lu Mo and Xichen can basically judge the deliberate fabrication of passing city lords.But obviously the city lord didn't mean to fabricate or tamper with it, he just said it as if he was telling a story.

"My beloved left me, and she couldn't worry about her younger sister, Xichen's mother, until she died. So I gave up the opportunity to live in the Pure Land incognito, and I chose to replace my beloved. I came to Sin City with her sister. If I think about it now, this plan in my heart, this big secret all along, may have started since then..."

The city lord went on to talk about what happened after he was assigned to Sin City. Lu Mo and Xichen also communicated through soul connections several times during the process of the city lord's narration.What the city lord said was completely consistent with Lu Mo's speculation, but it was more detailed and specific.At this time, the city lord talked about what happened after Sin City, and Lu Mo and Xichen listened attentively.

When the city lord came to Sin City, Sin City was in a relatively dark period. Fortunately, the city lord came with him, otherwise Xichen's mother might not be able to support it for a few days alone.The Sin City that the city lord spoke of at that time was truly worthy of the name Sin City.And it was in this dark city of sin that the city lord met a close friend who took him out of the haze.

"My dear friend, his name is Yaoguang, and he is Xichen's father. Although he is a person with a mysterious background, he is indeed a person who shines brightly just like his name. He helped me out The shadow was cast out, and Linglong, who had no love in life, found hope in life, he..."

Lu Mo and Xichen listened to the city lord's evaluation of Xichen's father. The city lord completely described Xichen's father as a saint. This was the first time Lu Mo saw the city lord's evaluation of a person so highly.Of course, Lu Mo and Xichen knew that Xichen's father was from the Magic Dragon Clan, but they seemed to be aware of the meaning of the city lord's words.After the city owner and Xichen's mother met Xichen's father, they were attracted by Xichen's father's sunny and willful personality, and at the same time were moved by Lu Mo's father's ideal.

"Xichen's father wanted to build a world where all beings are equal and can live according to their own wishes. At that time, the sin city was in a dark age, and the city owner was a brutal and bloodthirsty guy. Xichen's father's first plan was to To change the status quo of Sin City. I, who lost my beloved at that time, started the first step of his ideal with him with the mentality of dawdling..."

When the city lord talked about this former best friend, deep memories appeared on his face.The city lord suddenly sat up, looked at Xichen who was sitting opposite him, and seemed to see some shadows of her parents from Xichen.There was a thoughtful look on the face of the city lord. After thinking for a while, the city lord seemed to be determined to say something.

"Do you know that Xichen's father's ideal is great and inclusive, but it's a pity that I didn't understand this until he was about to die..."

What the city lord said shocked Lu Mo and Xichen. It turned out that the city lord knew the identity of Xichen's father.That is to say, the city lord has always known that Xichen is a hybrid of human and phantom dragon.Moreover, it was the first time that Lu Mo and Xichen knew that the reason why the city lord became the city lord was actually an inseparable relationship with Xichen's father.Because the city lord belongs to the city lord, it is because he inherited Xichen's father's ideals.

"Xichen's father was very sudden, but both Xichen's mother and I knew that he actually knew that his life was not long. I even remembered that he once said that he knew exactly when he would die. At that time, he once said that if he died, he would entrust his ideal to me, his only friend, if he died, and entrust it to his child if I failed to realize it for him..."

The city lord told the secrets that had been hidden in his heart for many years. Xichen grew up with the city lord, and this was the first time he had heard these things in so many years.At this time, the city lord looked at Xichen with kindness in his eyes, as if he was a father who loves his daughter. Lu Mo really felt that he couldn't see through the city lord at all.

"I don't dare to say how good Sin City has become, but at least I dare to say that Sin City is as good as it is today, all because of him. I can only help so much with his ideals, because I have never given up on my own. From the day the name and ability started, it was doomed that even if I changed the world, I would not be able to support his ideal, so... I will entrust his ideal to you, so that I can do my job with confidence. want to do."

Although the tone of the city lord sounded very heroic, Lu Mo felt that it was a bit of an explanation of the funeral.While the city lord said he wanted to do what he wanted to do, the only thing Lu Mo thought about was whether he planned to avenge his beloved.

"To make the world what you want it to be, you have to change the world first, and then you have a chance to change it for the better."

"City Master, what do you mean, you plan to change the world by yourself?"

Lu Mo suddenly understood what the city lord wanted to do. To make an unsatisfactory thing beautiful, the most effective way was to overthrow it and start over, and the city lord's plan seemed to be like this.
