Chapter 85

A maid in white clothes was standing beside Chu Jinsui, bowing her head slightly, with a submissive attitude: "It was the master's subordinate who offended the lady just now, the master feels very sorry, and specially asked the slave's family to invite the lady to go to the boat."

It sounds like Hongmen Banquet.

Is this telling you to depend on the owner to beat the dog?
Those guys just now seemed to reveal that they were the subordinates of the city lord.

After hearing this, Xiao Hua was even more frightened, wishing she could hide in the cracks in the ground.

It's just that I don't know what the city lord's intention is. Could it be that the city lord will really stand up for a few miscellaneous soldiers, or that he misjudged the identities of those guys.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, the maid said again: "Miss, don't worry, the idiots just now have been dealt with, and the master is the lord of the city, so naturally he won't make the guests feel uncomfortable in Eternal Night City."

She made a gesture of invitation: "The master wants to apologize to the young lady personally, and ask the young lady to move."

Chu Jinsui was full of thoughts, and smiled slightly: "No need, we didn't take it to heart."

Nothing to do is to commit crimes or to steal.

But the identity of the other party is there, so you can't take the other party's face too much, you still have to be polite.

The maid looked a bit embarrassed: "Miss..."

Chengfeng interrupted her, and waved his hand casually: "I told you that we didn't take it to heart, you can go back and return to your life, it's just a small matter, don't need to waste a lot of effort."

As she spoke, she took Chu Jinsui's arm and said, "Let's go."

Chu Jinsui followed her footsteps, nodded his chin to the maid, then turned and left. Seeing this, Xiao Hua hurriedly followed behind her.

Several people were ready to leave.

The maid took two steps forward: "Miss, wait a moment."

Chu Jinsui paused, and he and Chengfeng, who was holding his arm, looked at each other, and they both saw the same feeling in each other's eyes: we're going to be in trouble.

The maid walked up to her and glanced at the square boat on the lake in the distance: "Since the lady is unwilling, please accept this token."

As she said that, she handed a token carved in red gold to Chu Jinsui: "Please don't refuse, my lady. The master told me that if the lady is not free, you must give the token to the lady."

"If the lady encounters any troubles in the city, you can use this token to meet the city lord."

Chu Jinsui had no choice but to accept the token: "Thank you."

The maid then saluted, turned and left, and walked towards the boat in Huzhongfang.

"This token looks pretty." Chengfeng took the token from her hand.

Fang Qingya also took it over and weighed it: "It's real gold!"

Chu Jinsui looked back, there were many boats on the lake, and he didn't know which one the maid was looking at just now.

Unexpectedly, among the many square boats, there was actually the city lord of Eternal Night City sitting in one of them.

She took back the token: "We shouldn't need it, anyway, we're leaving tomorrow."

I hope so, Chu Jinsui said in his heart.

I always feel that this time it should not continue smoothly.

Rubbing the token in his hand, Chu Jinsui was just about to leave when the stall owner who sold the lamp heard her words.

"Miss, don't you know, our Eternal Night City, after the sacred tree blooms, the city will be closed for three days."

?

Good or bad spirits, afraid of what will happen.

Chu Jinsui has given up hope for his luck: "Is the city closed and even outsiders can't leave the city?"

The stall owner laughed and said: "Of course, this is to prevent the blessing of the sacred tree from being taken out of Eternal Night City. The flowering period of the sacred tree is exactly three days."

Fang Qingya interrupted: "If the sacred tree blooms at every turn, don't you always want to close the city?"

The stall owner shook his head: "How could it be? In recent years, the sacred tree has bloomed once today. The last time was several years ago. You are really lucky. You can see such a spectacle just now."

Cheng Feng curled his lips and muttered: "It's not necessarily good or bad luck."

Chu Jinsui asked again: "Then is it too late for us to leave now?"

The stall owner put down the lotus lantern he was piecing up in his hand: "How could it be too late? The moment the sacred tree blooms, the order has probably been sent down!"

"The city gate should have been locked by this time."

"But don't worry, just stay with us for three days. During these three days, all the taverns and inns will be much cheaper to celebrate the blooming of the sacred tree!"

With that said, the stall owner gave them two freshly tied lotus lanterns.

Chu Jinsui held up the lamp helplessly: "Forget it, let's go back first."

The crowd by the lake has not dispersed yet.

The petals of the sacred tree are still flying around lightly.

Get out of the crowd and walk back towards the inn.

After a few steps, Fang Qingya suddenly exclaimed: "Are you okay?"

Chu Jinsui turned around.

Fang Qingya supported Yue beside the building: "Wake up! Wake up!"

"What's the matter?" Chu Jinsui strode over, Yueyue's eyelids on the side of the building were closed tightly, if Fang Qingya hadn't helped him, he would have fallen to the ground by now.

Chengfeng sniffed his breath: "It seems to be dizzy, how could he be dizzy?"

Fang Qingya also looked confused: "I don't know either. We walked well just now, but he suddenly became weak. I thought he was tripped by a stone and slipped."

Chu Jinsui was still holding the token in his hand, it just happened to be a coincidence.

After walking a short distance, it was time to use this token.

She pursed her lips: "You guys take Ah Yue back first."

Chengfeng immediately knew where she was going: "I'll go with you."

"Ah?" Fang Qingya looked up, "Then I'm the only one left?"

Chu Jinsui shook his head, and said to Chengfeng: "You go back with Fang Qingya, he might be in trouble watching Ah Yue alone."

The most capable one was defeated, and if the other two left, if Fang Qingya met some strange people, there might be some troubles.

Chengfeng had no choice but to agree: "Then be careful, and let me know if there is any accident."

She and Chu Jinsui formed a contract, so she would be able to sense it immediately if there was any danger.

After explaining, Chu Jinsui turned around and walked towards the lake when he came.

She paused, looked at Xiaohua who was following carefully behind her: "You and Chengfeng go back together."

----

In the center of the lake, there are square boats.

The petals are all over the sky.

On a ship closest to the sacred tree.

The maid returned to the boat: "Master, she has already accepted the token."

"Well, go down." A lazy and hoarse man's voice came from behind the screen carelessly.

The maid bowed to salute, and retreated from the boat respectfully.

Through the screen, one can see the man reclining on the soft couch, holding a wine glass in his hand, drinking in front of the sacred tree in the center of the lake.

"Is it actually a foreigner who was selected this time? That would be a bit troublesome."

The petals blown by the wind landed on his body, but surprisingly, they did not turn into powder.

He glanced down at the petals floating in the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
