She became a black lotus after cultivating immortality

Chapter 73

Xie Lingze was wearing a fox velvet cloak, and his long, smooth hair was only tied at the back of his head, but it matched his aristocratic temperament.

"Second Young Master." Everyone saluted one after another. Xie Lingze responded with a slight smile and went straight to Yu Hua, facing the leading man, "These are all distinguished guests of my house, please don't make things difficult for the leader."

Zhang Xi hesitated for a moment, his eyes swept over Yingniang, his brows slightly frowned as if he was holding back something, but after all, he couldn't conflict with the city lord's family, so he sighed softly and stepped aside, "...offended."

"Miss Yu, let's go. Breakfast has been prepared in the mansion." Xie Lingze nodded slightly, and led Yu Hua and the others forward. There was already a carriage waiting outside.

Yu Hua followed Xie Lingze to the carriage, originally wondering why he would appear, but she understood the moment she lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Yuchen was waiting for her in the carriage.

He was still smiling, but this time Yu Hua felt a different emotion from his smile. Is he angry?
It's really strange, she hasn't seen Yuchen angry for so long.

Yu Hua pretended nothing happened and sat down. As soon as she touched the stool, Yu Chen rushed over, "Why didn't you tell me when you went out?"

He still said it with a smile, but Yu Hua heard the meaning of resentment and anger from it.

"Seeing that you slept soundly, I didn't disturb you." Yu Hua caught him and pushed him away. It wasn't her illusion, but Yu Chen had really grown up again.

Yingniang sat on the side without interrupting, and Ye Su also returned to the magic lock early, as if sulking.

Being pushed away by Yu Hua, Yu Chen didn't care, the only thing he was annoyed now was that Hao Sang might notice that after he accidentally let Yu Hua stay too far away from him.

"Then you've finished your work. When are we leaving? It's so boring here." Yuchen looked at her with a half-smile while resting his chin, twirling his silver-white hair with his index finger.

His current figure is about twelve or thirteen years old, and he just stared at Yu Hua like this, which really made her feel awkward.

But he was right, this matter has come to an end, it's time to go back and report to Master.

"Sooner rather than later, I still have some things to confirm. After I confirm, I will make some adjustments and return to the teacher's gate today."

As Yu Hua spoke, her eyes gradually became silent. Now the matter has been temporarily resolved, but there is still one thing missing.

That bottle of real '棨'.

Yu Hua was sure that she knew that thing, but at the same time she was also sure that she didn't know what it was. The familiar yet unfamiliar feeling made her feel uneasy.

If nothing else happens, that thing should still be in Xie Lingze's hands.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Lan Zhi was waiting for them. After they had breakfast, Yu Hua looked around again.

The city lord's mansion, which was bustling last night, seems to be a different day today. There is a sense of oppression in the quiet atmosphere, and even the servants in the mansion dare not show their air. Xie Lingze dined with them, but no other Anyone from the Xie family.

"My father and mother are resting in the backyard, and what happened yesterday is difficult for them to accept for a while." Xie Lingze looked at Yu Hua who was looking around and explained unhurriedly, "If Miss Yu has anything you want to ask, just ask me .”

"There's nothing I want to ask, I'm just curious. If there's anything I want to ask, there's only one—" Yu Hua didn't say that directly, but just looked up at Xie Lingze.

Xie Lingze understood, and smiled in a low voice, "I'll give Miss Yu an explanation for that matter." He smiled slightly, and turned his gaze to Yingniang again, "But what Chenglao has to solve now should be another matter , I don’t think it’s a good decision for Miss Yu to bring this girl back to Qingyunmen or near Qingyunmen.”

Hearing this, Yu Hua frowned, and immediately noticed something wrong with his words, "Do you know who she is?"

Xie Lingze smiled, "The girl knows that the mountain behind us is the highest mountain in Ningcheng, and it took decades to complete it. The reason why our Xie family took time and effort to build such a city lord's mansion , just to have a panoramic view of everything.”

Seeing Yuhua's serious expression, Xie Lingze said again: "But don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this, including Qingyunmen." He said, turning his eyes to Yingniang, "I have a lady who lives in Kongyang Shan’s friend, he opened a medicine store in Kongyang Mountain, which is very suitable for girls to settle down, what do you like?”

"I, I can do it, as long as you don't dislike me." Yingniang returned in a panic. She has been a little cramped since entering the city lord's mansion. After all, this is something that she never dreamed about.

Thinking of Ye Su's warning to her, Yu Hua couldn't make up her mind for a moment, maybe it was the right decision not to bring her back to Qingyunmen.

"Then it's settled. I'll arrange someone to take you there." Xie Lingze made a decision directly, and looked at Yu Hua again, "Since the breakfast is over, please invite Miss Yu to come with me."

No need for him to say more, Yu Hua understood what he meant, so she nodded, got up and went out with him, thinking of Yuchen's gaze today, she turned around and said: "I won't go far, Just wait for me here." Then he immediately followed Xie Lingze.

Xie Lingze led her to a room, and opened the door of the secret room in front of her.

The secret room is a long dark passage, at the end of which there is a small table, and in the middle of the table is an exquisite box.

Intuition told Yu Hua that that was what she wanted to see.

Xie Lingze went straight to the box, which was full of traps, and under his dexterous hands, the box opened with a click.

It was the bottle of ash that was contained in it.

It is exactly the same as the strand on the black dragon, there is nothing wrong with it, but what exactly is it?
Yu Hua couldn't stop stretching out her hand towards it, but the box was closed with a snap in the next second.

"It's not a good thing, it's better not to touch it lightly." Xie Lingze put the box away again, and it was only then that Yu Hua realized that she had acted impolitely just now.

"I'm sorry." Yu Hua looked at Xie Lingze apologetically, but found that a thin layer of sweat had already formed on his forehead and his lips were slightly pale, but they didn't walk too fast just now, and before entering the secret room he Still good.

Could it be because of touching the box?

"This time things went so smoothly, thanks to Ms. Yu's help." I don't know if he didn't notice that he was sick or didn't care at all, but he still had a calm expression when talking to Yu Hua.

"Me? I didn't do anything." Yu Hua took the opportunity to sit down and observed his expression.

Is it really okay to have such a bad face?
