After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

Tian Qianchen may complain, but...

But in Mi Yuanzheng's eyes, he was just changing the subject...

So Mi Yuanzheng hurriedly said, "Even now, Elder Tian, ​​you still refuse to admit that you secretly taught him the art of array formation? Elder Tao, you..."

"Alright."

Elder Tao waved his hand, stopping Mi Yuanzheng from continuing.

"Do you think I don't know the level of Elder Tian's array-building skills?"

Elder Tao said calmly, then looked at the forest guards ahead and Lin Heng beside him.

"If this array was indeed constructed by this young man, then it has nothing to do with Elder Tian."

Mi Yuanzheng was dumbfounded.

What makes Elder Tao so certain that Lin Heng's array-building technique has nothing to do with Tian Qianchen?

Doesn't he have a grudge against Tian Qianchen?

Elder Tao sighed.

After all, it would be hard for anyone outside the General Administration to imagine that an elder of the General Administration who comes into contact with array construction knowledge every day would have such clumsy array construction skills.

But then again...

Elder Tao couldn't help but look at Lin Heng with great interest.

How did he construct a formation of the level of Forest Guardian?

"Elder Tao!"

At that moment, Mi Yuanzheng, still unwilling to give up, said, "Then, isn't Lin Heng also suspected of stealing the General Headquarters' array construction technology?"

If Lin Heng escapes unscathed, it will be his city lord's mansion that suffers!

He originally thought his plan was meticulous and even wanted to stay out of it...

But he never expected that Yun Yue would become Lin Heng's fairy slave.

What's even more unexpected is that Lin Heng, who is proficient in array construction techniques, has absolutely no connection with Tian Qianchen...

"nonsense!"

Tian Qianchen stepped in to refute Lin Heng, saying, "Lin Heng learned his array-building techniques through special means. When I first met him, he didn't even know I was an elder of the General Administration Division. How could he have stolen them?"

"Then he..."

"Enough, Deer King. You, the city lord, don't need to worry about the secrets of the General Administration."

Seeing that Mi Yuanzheng was about to say something, Elder Tao interrupted him and looked at Lin Heng: "Young man, I just want to confirm one thing: are these forest guardians truly something you created?"

"That's right."

Lin Heng shrugged lightly.

After thinking for a moment, Elder Tao slowly nodded and said, "Hmm, it seems this is just a misunderstanding between our General Administration Division and an excellent array architect."

"Misunderstand?"

Mi Yuanzheng was stunned on the spot.

There was no investigation at all, so how was it judged as a misunderstanding?

But he couldn't understand it, even though Elder Tao himself knew very well.

If an ordinary thief were to steal the chief's driver's secrets, he would be punished as a serious criminal, and might even be killed on the spot.

But if the other party is an excellent array builder capable of constructing a forest guardian, he doesn't even care whether the array is a stolen secret of the chief driver...

Thinking this, Elder Tao politely said to Lin Heng, "Young friend Lin Heng, would it be convenient for you to have a cup of tea with us, which could help ease this misunderstanding?"

Lin Heng smiled and said, "After finishing up, of course I'll have time for tea."

"No!"

As soon as they saw the other party was about to leave.

Mi Yuanzheng immediately said, "Elders, perhaps Lin Heng's formation was not actually a theft of the General Administration's secrets, but..."

His gaze fell on Yun Yue.

Now that he has offended Lin Heng, who is skilled in array construction, he can only place all his hopes on the treasure of the Chaos Demon Lord.

His eyes were red as he stared at Yun Yue and said, "She is the core figure of my Golden Deer City's Immortal Maiden Industry! Even if she becomes Lin Heng's immortal slave, she cannot leave my City Lord's Mansion like this..."

call out!

A whooshing sound swept past.

Before anyone could react, a branch covered in spiritual energy pierced through Mi Yuanzheng's chest.

When she came to her senses, all she could see was Yun Yue opening the rouge box from her sleeve...

Elder Tao immediately frowned.

Just then, Lin Heng smiled and said to him, "Elder Tao, everything has been taken care of now. We can go have some tea."

"Ugh."

Elder Tao shook his head and said helplessly to Lin Heng, "Young man, Mi Yuanzheng is the city lord of Golden Deer City. If you kill him, the whole city will be in chaos."

Although Yun Yue was the one who killed the person, anyone with eyes could see that it was Lin Heng's idea all along.

Otherwise, if the celestial slave does something against the master's will, he will suffer the backlash of the slave spirit seal before he can even actually do it.

"It's just missing a city lord, isn't it?"

Tian Qianchen said nonchalantly, "At worst, I'll just draft another imperial edict for my little teacher..."

"Elder Tian, ​​you're getting more and more skilled at writing imperial edicts!"

Suddenly, Elder Tao remarked meaningfully from the side, "This isn't the first time you've done something like this, is it?"

Tian Qianchen paused for a moment, then looked up at the sky: "Old man, I have no idea what you're talking about..."

Elder Tao smiled calmly: "Heh, do you only understand what I'm talking about when I mention Linxian City?"

"What do you mean?" Tian Qianchen immediately became alert.

Elder Tao waved his hand and said, "Alright, I won't use this to threaten you or this young man. Although we have some personal grudges, I wouldn't stoop to setting you up in this way. After all, you're still my old comrade in the General Administration."

"Damn it, who are you implying?!"

Tian Qianchen immediately blushed and rolled up his sleeves.

"Old man, you'd better shut up."

Elder Tao glanced at him, not at all worried that Tian Qianchen would actually make a move. "I'm just reminding your little teacher that changing city lords in Golden Deer City isn't as simple as it is in Linxian City. There are far more complexities behind this Immortal Maiden industry chain..."

Tian Qianchen lowered his fist and nodded in deep agreement.

Indeed, the interests involved in Golden Deer City are numerous.

With the city lord dead, dealing with the situation will definitely not be as simple as dealing with the dying city of Linxian back then...

"This elder."

At this moment, Yun Yue stepped forward and calmly said, "As the Pavilion Master of the Lost Pavilion, I will naturally take care of everything for my master."

"Are you the master of the Lost Pavilion?"

Elder Tao was somewhat surprised.

After all, he had heard that the proprietress of the Mijin Pavilion was once the sect leader of the Yunling Sect in the Immortal Realm, and that she possessed immortal techniques and secret methods.

Even Mi Yuanzheng and several wealthy merchants in Jinlu City couldn't do anything about her. They could only use the disciples of Yunling Sect to keep her under control in the Mijin Pavilion.

And now, she has willingly become this young man's fairy slave?

However, if Lin Heng's fairy slave is the owner of the Mijin Pavilion, who controls all the fairy maidens in the city...

The matter of changing the city lord of Golden Deer City would then be easier to arrange...

Elder Tao is becoming increasingly perplexing.

The young man who could command the submission of a sect leader and was also proficient in array formation seemed even more mysterious than he had imagined…
