Chapter 1732 Meeting with the City Lord

He frowned, stood up slowly, said nothing, and walked into the inner room with the jade token.

"What does he mean?"

Chan Bao looked at the dark curtain, puzzled.

"I don't know."

Lu Li shook his head. Although he didn't understand, he didn't spy on him.

After a quarter of an hour, there was a click in the inner room, and then the old man came out of the darkness slowly. He put the jade token back in front of Lu Li, "I can't do this deal."

Lu Li frowned and wanted to ask why, but he swallowed the words back and put the jade token back in his arms. He felt that the old man must know something, but he didn't seem to want to tell him.

"Do you have anything else to ask?" The old man looked at Lu Li and said calmly.

"I haven't asked you yet, what is your name, senior?" Lu Li thought about it and asked this question.

"Hehe, they all call me know-it-all." The old man in hemp clothes said with a slight smile. It was obvious that this was not his real name, but just a nickname given to him by others.

"So it's Senior Know-it-all. I have no other questions. I'll take my leave now." Since the other party was unwilling to speak directly, Lu Li did not pester him, and stood up and said goodbye with a smile.

Chan Bao and An An also stood up, "Senior, take your leave!"

The old man in hemp clothes looked at Chan Bao and An An, smiling: "You two little girls are good, I wish you good luck."

Hearing this, An An felt that this man didn't seem so scary, and laughed: "Senior, you also have good luck."

"Haha! Okay, everyone, take care."

Hearing this, the old man laughed a rare laugh and stretched out his hand to see the guests off.

Seeing this, Lu Li said no more, took Chan Bao and An An out of the shop, came to the square and stayed for a while, and then walked towards the restaurant where the room was booked.

"Finally here."

Not long after Lu Li and his companions left, the old man in hemp clothes in the dark shop murmured with a tone of relief, then closed the door, turned off the lights, and stepped into the endless darkness.

The next morning.

Lu Li and his companions had a simple meal, and Lu Li left the restaurant and headed towards the city lord's mansion.

He was going to see if the young master of the Night Dark Sect was really as he thought.

Wenxin City was just one of the many cities under the jurisdiction of the Night Dark Sect. The city lord here was named Jian Zhicheng, and his cultivation was neither high nor low, with the strength of the late Mahayana.

In the early morning, Jian Zhicheng was meditating and practicing in the pavilion of his own house as usual. Suddenly, a guard came to report that someone wanted to see him for the reward.

Jian Zhicheng was a little impatient when he heard this. This notice had been posted for almost ten years, but none of the people who came had real talent, and he was frequently blamed by the top leaders.

As a result, he gradually lost his patience.

Although it was mentioned above that the reward for recommendation was quite generous, the charge of not knowing people well also made him depressed. Instead of seeking the credit that might not be obtained, it was better to do his job well and steadily.

So, he waved his hand: "Say that I am in seclusion and it is not convenient to see guests, let him go to another city."

"If this gets to the ears of the master, it will be bad..." The guard leaned over to remind him.

"What's wrong with it! Just say you didn't see me at all, isn't it?" Jian Zhicheng said without any annoyance.

"But, the brothers at the door all know that you are not in seclusion?" The guard looked a little stubborn.

"Fuck you!" Jian Zhicheng was very angry, jumped up and slapped the guard on the back of his head, "Are you the city lord or am I the city lord!"

"You, you are the city lord... You are in seclusion, I will tell that person now, you said you are in seclusion..." The guard covered the back of his head with an innocent face, turned around and was about to leave.

"Fuck you! Stop right there!"

Jian Zhicheng was so angry that he laughed. He went up and grabbed the guard. "Your head was caught by the door when you were a child! I owe you something in my previous life. I have to deal with a guy like you who is a bit stupid."

"What's wrong?" The guard scratched his head in confusion.

"Come on! It's a waste of time to talk to someone like you. Get out and call that person over!" Jian Zhicheng flicked his sleeves and turned to walk towards the stone table in the yard.

"Didn't you say you were in seclusion?"

"Get out!!!"

Jian Zhicheng was furious and cursed. The guard didn't dare to say anything more. He covered his ears and disappeared in the yard. Jian Zhicheng looked gloomy.

"Senior, our city lord wants to see you. Please follow me." Outside the mansion gate, the guard came hurriedly, smiled and clasped his fists at Lu Li, and spoke very normally, which was completely different from before.

Lu Li smiled and nodded, letting him lead the way.

Afterwards, under the guidance of the guard, they went to the city lord's private courtyard. When they arrived at the gate, the guard stopped going in and let Lu Li go in by himself.

Lu Li led Chan Bao and the others into the outer courtyard. When they entered the gate, they saw a wide garden landscape. After turning their heads to look, they walked towards a small path on the right.

Jian Zhicheng was slightly surprised when he saw Lu Li, and then he stood up and greeted him: "Senior, please sit here."

"I heard that your sect is looking for someone to treat Mr. Ye?" Lu Li was not polite. After sitting down, he went straight to the point.

"Senior, what you said is not wrong."

Jian Zhicheng nodded first, then sighed and said: "But it's a pity that after so many years, there are as many as 20 or 30 people who volunteered to treat the disease, but in the end no one could help Chang'an, but made it worse..."

After a slight pause, he continued, "Senior, are you sure you can cure him? If not, don't take the risk. The master has been very worried in recent years and his temper has been getting worse. What if..."

Speaking of this, Jian Zhicheng stopped talking. The meaning was obvious. He was worried that Lu Li would not be able to cure the disease, but instead angered the master and end up in a bad situation.

Lu Li frowned when he heard this: "I heard that Ye Changan must drink blood to get relief when his illness breaks out. Is this true?"

"Indeed, and it has become more and more terrifying recently. At the beginning, only one cup of blood was needed to relieve it for several days. Now, you have to drink several basins every day to see the effect." Jian Zhicheng replied.

"Are there any other symptoms, such as how he behaves during an attack?" Lu Li asked.

"Other signs... I don't know much. I just heard that he has a bad temper and likes to self-harm or kill people." Jian Zhicheng had never seen Ye Changan's illness scene with his own eyes, but just heard about it from others.

From Jian Zhicheng's words, Lu Li was not sure whether the other party was disturbed by the devil's energy. He couldn't help but look thoughtful and pondered.

After a moment, he suddenly thought of something and said, "This disease is not for no reason, right? I heard that Chang'an went out once that night, and the problem occurred after he came back. Do you know what he went through at that time?"

Jian Zhicheng still shook his head: "Senior, please forgive me. This matter has not been circulated in the sect. I also don't know the hidden truth. Moreover, the sect ordered not to discuss this matter. Maybe it is a taboo."

"Taboo?"

Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but be a little surprised. He thought and said, "Can you take me to Yeming Sect to see it in person? Maybe I can really help your sect."
