Peerless Allure: Nine Series Summoner

Chapter 193 Thank You
On this day, Ling Lan was practicing in the room, and the city lord Hua Yan sent a maid to invite her to the hall for a talk.As for what it was for, the little maid didn't say anything.

Ling Lan didn't think much about it, even if Hua Yan didn't look for her today, she still had to find a chance to meet Hua Yan.

She has been recuperating in the City Lord's Mansion for several days, and it is time to say goodbye.

For Ling Lan, Xiao Xu, and Zhou Zheng, the three warriors who solved the banditry problem for Jiangshou City, the city lord Hua Yan treated them preferentially. There is a dedicated person to serve.

In fairness, living in the City Lord's Mansion is indeed comfortable, but Ling Lan knows that it is not time for her to enjoy this comfort.

She still has a lot of things to do, and she can't waste the most precious time.

"Master Dijue, you are here! Please sit down quickly." The city lord was tending the flowers and plants. When he saw the maid leading Ling Lan over, he immediately put down the small shovel in his hand and came out, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

"This silk flower is blooming beautifully, my lord is really interested. I wonder why my lord is looking for me?" Ling Lan praised the delicate flowers on the shelf, and Ling Lan got to the point.

"Master Dijue is really impatient." The city lord smiled, and he winked at the steward at the side. After a while, the steward left and returned, holding a brocade box in his hand.

The brocade box is exquisite and compact, with vivid totems carved on it.Seeing the cautious look of the housekeeper, Ling Lan knew that the brocade box contained definitely good things.

—Could it be a thank you gift for her?

"Master Dijue went deep into a dangerous situation, and saved the life of a child after a narrow escape. The old man is grateful, and there is no way to repay him. I can only use this pass order as a thank you gift, and I hope that Mr. Dijue will not dislike you."

The lid of the brocade box was opened, and the contents were delivered to Ling Lan.The plain and unpretentious access token was wrapped in soft silk, making Ling Lan's brows and eyes move slightly.

As everyone knows, Ling Lan is only smiling reservedly, if there is no one here, she will definitely put her hands on her hips without any scruples, and laugh three times.

--Hahaha!She really wanted to doze off and someone handed her a pillow. She was worrying that she had nowhere to get the pass, but someone came to her door unexpectedly.

Ling Lan was ecstatic in her heart, but she had already been able to control her emotions freely, and even the Lord City Lord standing opposite her could not perceive her emotional fluctuations.

This made the city owner secretly surprised - this is a pass that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it!Why does this person in front of him seem not excited at all?

Could it be that people simply don't pay attention to this order?

Well, very likely.This earth-absolute son can even defeat the bandit leader of a high-ranking Xuanzun strongman, and he has an extraordinary bearing. It is very likely that he came down from a high-level country to experience it.

If this is the case, a pass order will naturally not arouse people's interest.But this is already the most sincere and practical gift that their City Lord's Mansion can give...

Thinking of this, the city lord's attitude towards Ling Lan became a little more respectful.

"My lord is too polite, I like this gift very much." Ling Lan took the brocade box, feeling a lot more at ease in her heart.

When the Lord City Lord heard Ling Lan's reply, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"My lord, I've been bothering you for quite a while, and I'm here to bid farewell to you. Thank you for your hospitality during this period of time."

Hua Yan also knew it well, he knew that Ling Lan and the others were all masters who did not show their talents, so he did not persuade them to stay.

……

When Ling Lan returned to the residence with the brocade box in her hands, she happened to meet Xiao Xu and Zhou Zheng coming back from outside.

Zhou Zheng frowned, and Xiao Xu's body also exuded low air pressure.

——What happened to these two people?Getting angry outside?

Before Ling Lan could ask a question, Xiao Xu poured out the encounter between him and Zhou Zheng as bitter water to Ling Lan like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

"I don't know what to say! Zhou Zhengming and I have already rejected it. Who would have thought that those people would still be entangled! I don't know how they are so thick-skinned!"

"Think that a little gold and silver herbs can impress the young master?! Daydreaming is not as beautiful as they think!"

It turned out that when Xiao Xu and Zhou Zheng went out, they were "stalked and intercepted" by several mercenary regiments and some local forces.

Today, the three of Ling Lan have become household names in Jiangshou City. Who among the old, young, women and children in the streets and alleys don't know their bravery and brilliance?

Many forces have taken a fancy to their outstanding ability and extraordinary cultivation, and want to take them for their own use.

It's a pity that these three people have been recuperating and adjusting their breathing in the city lord's mansion for the past few days.The city lord's mansion is heavily guarded, so naturally not all idlers can enter.

Those people waited for several days, and finally waited for Xiao Xu and Zhou Zheng to go out to relax. How could they not seize the opportunity and lobby hard?
They promised Xiao Xu and Zhou Zheng great benefits and various other benefits.But who is Xiao Xu?He is not a real mercenary.

The flattery those people thought was almost the same as contempt for Xiao Xu, that's why he was so angry.

After hearing Xiao Xu's complaints, Ling Lan's heart moved slightly.

——Why didn't she think of this one!If Zhou Zheng can be won over, then the underground black market will definitely be able to reach a higher level.

Ling Lan pondered over this matter, and the more she thought about it, the more feasible it became.She decided to find a chance to have a talk with Zhou Zheng.

Xiao Xu was talking enthusiastically with Ling Lan, but when she saw her lose her mind, she suddenly felt unhappy, feeling that she was being ignored.

He hadn't realized that after staying in Slave City for half a month, Ling Lan had unknowingly become a special existence in his heart.

"Hey! I'm talking to you, did you hear? Forget it, let's not talk about those people who are disgusting. What are your plans in the future?"

Xiao Xu wanted to know if Ling Lan would continue to accept mercenary missions.After all, her rising tide now lifts all boats, whether it is joining the mercenary union or joining a local force, it is a better way out.

In his heart, Xiao Xu still hopes that Ling Lan can continue to be an ordinary mercenary.Because of this, he still has a chance to compete with Ling Lan.

During the period of "undercover" in Slave City, Xiao Xu was hit hard by Ling Lan. He had long wanted to find a chance to win back for himself.

But unexpectedly, he did something wrong at the last moment, adding a lot of trouble to Ling Lan's rescue plan.In the end, Ling Lan saved everyone, including himself.

However, for Ling Lan, Xiao Xu still couldn't really be convinced in his heart - they all came out to practice, so why is that kid better than himself in every way?
If Ling Lan knew what Xiao Xu was thinking, she would definitely think that Xiao Xu was extremely childish.

"Let's talk about it, I don't have any plans yet. Aren't you tired after walking outside all morning? Go back and rest!"

Shooing away the reluctant Xiao Xu with an ambiguous answer, Ling Lan went directly to Zhou Zheng's room without delay.

When Zhou Zheng came back, he met Ling Lan face to face.Ling Lan observed meticulously, and could see Zhou Zheng's complex expressions in his eyes.

Unlike Xiao Xu's displeasure, Zhou Zheng was clearly struggling and hesitating.Ling Lan could tell that Zhou Zheng's heart had already been moved by the conditions offered by someone.

It's just that at the moment, Zhou Zheng probably hasn't thought about what to do.

Dangdang, Ling Lan knocked on the door. "Brother Zhou, let me come and see you."

Ling Lan and Zhou Zheng became acquainted a lot during their stay in the City Lord's Mansion for the past few days.Zhou Zheng felt that Ling Lan's yelling "senior" one after the other sounded unreasonable, so Ling Lan followed suit and called him "Brother Zhou".

Zhou Zheng personally opened the door for Ling Lan, asked her to sit down on a chair, and poured her a cup of tea.

After the two exchanged a few words, Ling Lan got to the point.

"Brother Zhou, what are your plans for the future? If you have no plans, would you like to be my guest?"

Ling Lan's straightforwardness made Zhou Zheng stunned for a moment.He never expected that Ling Lan would invite him to do things with her.

In Zhou Zheng's eyes, Ling Lan is a nobleman who came from a high-level country to practice. She is willing to call herself "Big Brother" because she is easy-going and willing to give herself a little face.

But he didn't dare to have unreasonable thoughts, thinking that he had a chance to be by Ling Lan's side.

"This...Little brother Dijue is serious?" Zhou Zheng was a little excited, but he held his own.

"Of course it's serious. Brother Zhou looks like I'm joking? Brother Zhou doesn't want to?"

Ling Lan yelled "Big Brother" affectionately, as if Zhou Zheng was her real big brother.Even if she is still dressed as a man at the moment, it doesn't affect her smile, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"Of course not. I am naturally willing to be invited by the little brother Dijue." Zhou Zheng agreed without thinking too much.

First, he was grateful for Ling Lan's life-saving grace.If it wasn't for Ling Lan, I'm afraid he would never have escaped from the slave city and saw the light of day again.

Promising Ling Lan to be her guest minister also meant to repay her kindness.

Secondly, Zhou Zheng privately guessed that Ling Lan was probably a nobleman from the country above.He felt that following Ling Lan was more promising than joining those local forces.

The agreement was reached, and both parties were happy.Ling Lan said again: "Just now I have bid farewell to the Lord City Lord. I plan to leave early tomorrow morning, Brother Zhou can pack his luggage."
