Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

This one also has a proud and arrogant side.

Weirdly cute.

He said lightly.

"Just do as you say."

"Besides, you are the city lord, not me."

"Don't even think about making your master work overtime. If you bother me with this kind of thing again, you'll pay the price."

The two women in front of him remained silent for a moment.

Yun Ling thought indignantly: Isn't this to demonstrate your, the Imperial Envoy's, authority?

"But it's just in time that you've arrived."

"There is something I really need to talk to you about."

Su Qing clapped her hands.

He had a look of sudden realization on his face, as if he had just remembered something.

"..."

She crossed her arms.

I felt a chill creep up my back for no apparent reason.

I have a strange feeling that things might not turn out well.

but--

I feel that if I refuse now, I'll definitely face retaliation.

resignedly.

I had no choice but to follow.

At this moment.

Recalling my own high spirits when I first met this kid, and comparing it to the current situation.

Ugh.

Indeed, life is unpredictable.

No one can escape the fate of 407IIII.

However, upon further reflection...

Otherwise, it might have taken me at least five more years to make such progress.

Just like the boy in front of me.

It's always difficult to maintain one's composure in his presence.

You'll either be furious or feel endlessly helpless.

What's that saying again? Everything that happens is for his benefit.

It makes people feel quite unbalanced.

But on the other hand.

But just when you feel like you're being played by him and are about to lose it, he always manages to suddenly give you a benefit.

And it's definitely not some petty profit.

It was a truly great opportunity.

It makes people love and hate it.

This brief moment.

The two women were led to the depths of the courtyard.

A large tree that covers almost half of the yard, with a chair under the tree.

A waterway meanders down the wall and tree trunk.

The tinkling sounds flowed into the small, pebble-paved pool.

It sounds good and looks good.

It was extremely leisurely and elegant.

but--

This is clearly not the original work of this place.

After all, the young man had only moved from the ancient pavilion temple in the clouds to this courtyard last night.

It's said to have just been bought.

It was originally an inn.

There would be no such unique decoration.

In addition-

Yunling was very curious.

Where exactly does this water come from?

"You two."

"Go into the water."

"There are many pebbles at the bottom of the water. Find the red, yellow, and green stones among them. Hmm, I'll give you half an hour."

Chapter 543 Anyway, it's not the first time, just bear with it and it will pass.

"wait wait wait!"

The boy's sudden request left him somewhat bewildered.

Gun Master quickly interrupted, unable to resist asking.

"So sudden?"

"Also, I'm fine, but this city lord is very busy. I mean, Your Excellency, even if you want someone to play with you, you don't have to choose this time."

and also!

Although the pool contains flowing water, it is shimmering with light.

But the water was extremely clear, and with her sharp eyesight, she could tell at a glance that the bottom of the pool was only two meters deep.

The entire pool was only two meters square, not even big enough for her and Qin Lianshang to lie down sideways.

The weather was calm and there was no threat whatsoever.

Should we send them down to retrieve the stones?

Forget about red, orange, and yellow; even turning over all the stones inside would be a piece of cake, taking less than five minutes.

Half an hour?

Who do you look down on?

"Oh."

Su Qing did not back down and calmly said.

"This is the perfect time."

"It's almost noon, the hottest time of the day. Wouldn't it be great to go swimming and cool off at this time?"

"Ah, this is your master's good intention."

"..."

well.

She's now almost immune to the boys claiming to be their masters.

hateful.

Habits are terrible.

Yun Ling hadn't said anything yet.

Her Majesty gazed at the pool for a moment, then asked solemnly with a dignified expression.

"Your Excellency, could you please explain the reasons and the relevant rules?"

In terms of combat ability...

She's not even half as good as Yunling.

However, she specialized in illusions and other magical techniques.

They are more perceptive in terms of mental and spiritual power compared to others of the same level.

Although she couldn't completely see through the mystery of that clear pool, she vaguely sensed an unusual aura.

Then, thinking about who the person in front of him was—it was Su Qing.

A man with so many schemes that they could trigger trypophobia in anyone!

How could I possibly ask them to do something without a reason?

There's usually a deeper meaning behind it.

Since we can't guess it.

Then let's just ask directly.

She found out.

This is the best way to deal with the boy in front of you.

really.

Su Qing glanced at Her Majesty the Queen with considerable appreciation and praised her.

"People who become city lords just think differently."

"Yes."

"Am I the kind of person who drags you guys into having fun for no reason?"

"..."

It felt like I'd been shot in the knee.

And it was stuck quite deep.

It made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Humph.

She knows that perfectly well.

Su Qing said calmly.

"There is indeed some mystery in this pool, but I cannot tell you yet."

"You two just need to remember that only by working together can you get the stone I told you about."

"Minimum requirement: You need one stone for each color. If you can finish within half an hour, you'll receive a big gift. If you fail..."

The boy suddenly drew out a long syllable when he spoke.

It seemed particularly meaningful.

"Then we have no choice but to accept the punishment."

"The details of the punishment must also be kept secret."

hiss!

A chill immediately ran up my spine.
