Chapter 43: Hand over the pill
The tall man had a very majestic face, and there was a wrinkle between his eyebrows, which was caused by his long-term frown. He was wearing a luxurious black robe embroidered with gold thread, and the jade plaque hanging around his waist was engraved with the words "Bai Lu".
The man sat high on his head and looked at Nan Gurong from a high place. At that moment, Nan Gurong felt like an ant in the other person's eyes. He could easily crush him as long as he stretched out a finger.
Before the man could speak, footsteps came from afar.
Nan Gurong didn't dare to look back. She lowered her head by the other party's momentum. She could only watch a pair of shoes inlaid with sea spirit beads walking past him. Then there was a girl's pretty and arrogant voice:
"Dad, I heard that the medical practitioner who saved the medicine man has been brought back by you. When will he let him treat me?"
The head of the city lord Bailu subconsciously restrained his momentum when he saw his daughter, and he rarely smiled: "Don't worry, just wait until he asks her for the pill recipe, so that his subordinates can prescribe medicine for you."
Although the city lord had already received the news that the girls who were regarded as medicine men had been cured by the people in front of him, the city lord Bailu had always been suspicious and did not dare to let Nan Gurong treat his daughter directly.
Just like the Jackdaw Demon Lord back then, he just used medicine on those mortal women, and he could not touch his daughter at all.
"Dad, I really can't stand my appearance now. You have to find the medicine for me soon." The woman urged again, even with the tone of order.
Nan Gurong thought the city lord would be angry, but he expected that he just kept saying goodbye and coaxed the person away softly.
The young lady never lowered her head from beginning to end to look at Nan Gurong. After receiving the accurate letter from her father, she turned around and left.
After the eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion left, the atmosphere in the room returned to the initial dull state.
Before Nan Gurong's random thoughts could stop, the city lord at the head spoke: "I heard that you have relieved the poison of the mortals in Tingliu Village and cured their faces?"
Nan Gurong closed her eyes. At this moment, she was extremely sure that the city lord was the mastermind behind the "monster marriage" incident!
She didn't answer and didn't care. She continued, "I'd better advise you to agree. Although your Suyi Pavilion is famous, it's still a little bit to say whether you can be found by your sect in my hands now."
Nan Gurong kept her head down, and now she was in a mess and really didn't know how to answer.
The city lord thought he had said enough and was too lazy to persuade him. Instead, he ordered the housekeeper to take the person down and let her treat the eldest lady's injuries no matter what means he used.
The butler quickly directed the two guards who had brought the men to take Nan Gurong away.
He placed Nan Gurong in the place where the Jackdaw Demon Lord used to live, and there were still several bottles of poison pills refined by the Jackdaw Demon Lord in that yard.
On the way to take the person to the courtyard, the housekeeper also helped his master persuade Nan Gurong: "The city lord is not a bad person, he is not very good-nature and loves the young lady too much. I think you should have heard that the young lady in our house is born without spiritual roots and is destined to live her life like a mortal. Because of this, the city lord felt a little bit of pain for the young lady."
"Now the eldest lady is sick, the city lord has invited all the goods like the Crown Demon Lord at any cost to treat the eldest lady. If you can cure the eldest lady, you will not only have a safe life, but also have an unexpected gift. Girls might as well think about it."
As they spoke, everyone stopped.
The one that appeared in front of Nan Gurong was a very exquisite yard, which did not look like the style of the cultivation world, but was more in line with the preferences of mortals.
"The girl will live here in the future. The city lord specially set up a pharmacy in this yard, which collected the most complete spiritual plants and medicines in the cultivation world. If there is anything missing, the girl just needs to give her instructions and will be delivered to the girl the next day." Speaking of this, the housekeeper also whispered: "Don't be afraid to tell the girl that all the spiritual plants here can be given to the girl after the matter is completed."
In the eyes of the butler, no medical practitioner can refuse such temptation.
However, Nan Gurong's face was still cold and he had no intention of agreeing.
Seeing her attitude, the housekeeper also turned cold. He had already made a boast of the city lord and promised to persuade the female cultivator to agree to hand over the pill recipe as soon as possible.
The city lord has a bad temper. If this female cultivator has been holding on like this and refuses to agree, then the city lord will be punished if he blames him.
Of course, the housekeeper was unwilling to be punished for a small medical practitioner. Before Nan Gurong pushed the door in, he suddenly laughed and said, "I hope the girl will consider it clearly earlier. After all, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your friends. Your friend, once you find that you are in danger, you will chase you without saying a word."
He sighed a few times: "A young monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage dares to chase after the Nascent Soul Daojun, but he is very brave!"
How could Nan Gurong not hear the butler's implicit sound? She almost immediately guessed that the person the other party was Sang Ying!
Nan Gurong could no longer remain silent. He turned his head and stared at the butler fiercely, gritting his teeth word by word: "If you dare to do anything to her, then wait for your eldest lady to be sick for the rest of her life!"
These words did not threaten the housekeeper at all. He replied lightly: "Whether we will do anything to her depends on how you choose, the girl."
The response to him was the sudden closing of the courtyard gate.
"Hmph!" The housekeeper pointed to the yard and ordered the two people around him, "Look at this inside. If someone runs away from the whip of the city lord's mansion, it's not a vegetarian!"
The two monks nodded quickly.
At this moment, Sang Ying, who was muttered by the butler and Nan Gurong, was looking at her "new neighbor" with interest, appreciating the other party's rare embarrassing appearance.
"I really didn't get anything. The Crown Demon Lord had been injured before he collided with me. It must have been that person who took what you wanted. Go and catch him!" Liu Yuzhi, who has always looked like a gentleman in the sect, showed such a panic for the first time.
After he was thrown into the cell opposite Sang Ying, he kept shouting, trying to attract the guards to throw everything onto others.
It is naturally impossible for the guard to appear. After being locked up here, except for someone who sends two fasting pills in every day, he can no longer see anyone else.
Maybe he thought Liu Yuzhi was too noisy, the man in black next to Sang Ying spoke again: "Please stop worrying, fellow Taoist, no matter how much you shout, no matter how you shout, no one will come."
"Who are you, why are you arrested?!" The man suddenly spoke, and Liu Yuzhi noticed that there was someone else in the dungeon.
Adhering to the principle of being helpful, the man also enthusiastically answered Liu Yuzhi's question, but his tone was quite emotional: "Oh, it's all because of my long story. It's because I have a face that has attracted all living beings, so I was attracted by the eldest lady of the City Lord's Mansion. I refused to be a Taoist partner with her, so my father was put into prison!"
Sang Ying didn't want to listen to his nonsense, but she didn't say a word of truth!
But she didn't know that when she turned her eyes away, the man in black next door crossed the narrow gap in the wall and cast a complicated look at her.
Tsk, the little girl who bought my booklet is really destined to be!
Thinking of the agreement with my companions, look at the "guests" that the city lord captured. Liuguang Sword Sect, Yinsha Sect, Suyi Pavilion... The disciples of several major sects gathered here. It seems that the city lord's mansion will be very lively tonight!
The man raised his hand to cover his handsome eyebrows and planned to make up for his sleep. Otherwise, he would lose his energy to watch the good show at night.
