I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Several other people also echoed and had the same idea.

They hated Baidi so much, so how could they possibly want Linglong to be with someone like him?

Seeing that Lu Yuan hadn't spoken, Ning Xiaoyu walked up to him, looked at him curiously and asked.

"Master, what are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought. Is there something wrong?"

Lu Yuan shook his head and his eyes became deep.

"Linglong will never fall in love with Baidi. It's just his wishful thinking. Besides, when he really wants to obtain supreme power, he will no longer want to be with Linglong."

When that time comes, he will have to castrate himself.

But if you don't do that, the eight artifacts you have collected with great difficulty will become useless.
Faced with such a great temptation, how could he be willing to give up?
It is precisely because of this that Lu Yuan sees things clearly and knows that he will never give up!

Without continuing the topic, he looked at the four girls and spoke seriously.

"You can start to survive the thunder tribulation tonight. This is the critical moment for your advancement. Xiaoyu and I will protect you. You don't have to worry about anything. Just wait patiently!"

Shen Shiyu spoke with a smile on her face.

"My husband and Xiaoyu will protect us. The four of us will definitely be able to survive the thunderstorm safely!"

After leaving Qinghe County, Baidi went to the imperial capital.

He has a place to stay here, a house outside the city.

As soon as I came back, I saw Dugu Aoyun appear here.

Baidi frowned slightly, looking displeased.

"Didn't I ask you to stay in Qinghe County? Why did you come here? And how did you know this is my territory?"

When questioned, Dugu Aoyun did not tell the truth.

He already knew Bai Di's little tricks, he was just using him.

If that's the case, why should I continue to work for him?

Thinking of this, Dugu Aoyun acted very loyal and answered honestly.

"I saw Lu Yuan go back. I was about to attack his wives, but he saw me. Now I can only run away first and cannot go back for the time being."

Hearing this, Baidi thought about it carefully and was still thinking in his heart.

He knew that Dugu Aoyun was no match for Lu Yuan, so it was indeed inappropriate for him to stay there, and there was a high possibility of danger.

Thinking of this, Baidi nodded, and just in time he had other ideas.

"Then you should stay in the imperial capital first. I have other things for you to do. Sneak into the palace and protect Jiang Linglong's safety."

Dugu Aoyun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would arrange him like this.

"I'm going to protect Jiang Linglong? But isn't she from Lu Yuan's side? Besides, if you, Baidi, want to unify the entire Shenzhou Continent, then she is a very dangerous existence. If..."

Before he could continue speaking, he was interrupted by Baidi.

He glanced at Dugu Aoyun coldly and said in a cold voice.

"Do I need you to arrange anything for me to do? Just listen to my instructions and do it!"

Dugu Aoyun didn't dare to say anything more and just nodded in agreement.

Without staying any longer, he left immediately.

In just a cup of tea, Dugu Aoyun appeared in the palace.

He stood behind the screen, looking at Jiang Linglong who was carefully reviewing memorials, and felt suspicious. He didn't understand what Bai Di meant by doing this all of a sudden.

Could it be that he had other plans for Jiang Linglong? While he was thinking, Jiang Linglong had already noticed something was wrong behind the screen.

Her perception was extremely strong, and even though she couldn't see what was behind the screen, she knew there must be someone standing there.

"who is it?"

She put down the memorial and looked at the screen warily.

"Who are you? How could you come in without anyone noticing? You must be someone above the Grandmaster level, right? Could you be an immortal?"

Dugu Aoyun originally wanted to slip away without her noticing his presence.

But on second thought, since Baidi asked me to stay here, we will definitely meet more often in the future.

In this case, I still have to reveal my identity first, so that life can be better.

Thinking of this, he walked out from behind the screen.

The moment she saw him, Jiang Linglong's eyes widened, then her brows furrowed, and her expression became solemn.

"What's going on? Aren't you crazy? Why are you here?"

Seeing her defensive look, Dugu Aoyun explained.

"I'm fine now. I've completely entered the realm of a land immortal. Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you, but to protect you!"

Jiang Linglong was confused and even more puzzled after hearing this.

"Protect me? Are you talking about you?"

Seeing her incredible expression, Dugu Aoyun nodded and answered seriously.

"Yes, I am here to protect you. It was Baidi who asked me to come here!"

Jiang Linglong was shocked enough when he said he came to protect her.

Now she was told that it was Baidi who asked him to come, which was even more unexpected for her.

Thinking back to what Bai Di had said to her before, Jiang Linglong already had some vague guesses in her mind and roughly understood what he wanted to do.

Maybe he really meant it when he said he liked me?

It is true that Dugu Aoyun was the person he sent to protect him, but he was also the person who was monitoring him and could attack him at any time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Linglong asked in confusion.

"Why would you help Baidi? Don't you have your own integrity?"

Dugu Aoyun laughed at himself, with a helpless expression on his face.

"How do you think I recovered and truly entered the realm of land immortals? It was Baidi who helped me. He also promised me everything in the future. Naturally, I will continue to follow him."

After a pause, he changed the subject and said.

"However, Lu Yuan has already told me the truth. I know that Bai Di is just using me, so it is impossible for me to work for him!"

Hearing this, Jiang Linglong was a little surprised.

"You mean, your brother-in-law told you everything?"

Dugu Aoyun nodded and briefly expressed his thoughts.

"That's right, so even if I don't want to continue following Bai Di, I have to obey him temporarily. His cultivation is far above mine now, and I can't contend with him at all. Naturally, I can only obey him!"

"However, how to do it depends on my mood. I think it would be better if I stayed with you. I could protect you and have a leisurely life while continuing to practice. What do you think?"

Jiang Linglong had never expected that he would have such thoughts, and fell into silence. (End of this chapter)
