Mortal Seeking Immortal

Seeing Ye Zhou coming out, Zhuang Yu stepped forward and bowed to Ye Zhou, saying, "Senior Ye, we have checked the courtyard carefully and found nothing. It seems that the demon cultivator did not leave any clues here."

Ye Zhou nodded, looked at the sky and said, "Since there is nothing to find here, let's continue patrolling."

After that, he took Zhuang Yu and others out of the courtyard.

Not long after Ye Zhou and others left, a battle broke out near the gate of Xianliu City. More than a dozen Jindan-level cultivators from the City Lord's Mansion besieged a demon cultivator who was about to escape the city.

The demon cultivator was already injured and was naturally defeated. He was captured alive by a group of cultivators and taken back to the City Lord's Mansion to report.

The captured demon cultivator was naturally Xu Zhuo.

It was half an hour later when Ye Zhou learned about this.

He was taking Zhuang Yu and others to change shifts at the city gate, but a young cultivator wearing the uniform of the City Lord's Mansion guard came to him at this time.

"Are you Ye Zhou?"

The young cultivator looked at Ye Zhou and said coldly.

Ye Zhou nodded, knowing why he had come.

"Come with me."

The young monk said as he was about to take Ye Zhou away.

Although Zhuang Yu and the others didn't know what had happened, they couldn't help but look worried when they saw the attitude of the young monk.

Although they didn't have a deep relationship with Ye Zhou, they found that Ye Zhou was very approachable after getting along with him for a while.

If something happened to Ye Zhou, who would be assigned to be their new deputy captain? If they were assigned to someone who was difficult to get along with, they would have to suffer because they had no foundation in the city.

Ye Zhou naturally knew about their concerns, but he didn't say much. He just said, "If I don't return on patrol tomorrow, you can go to Li Zhou to report this matter."

Ye Zhou didn't worry that the monks of the City Lord's Mansion would implicate him because he had some friendship with Xu Zhuo before.

First, he had some friendship with the city lord's niece Qi Rongyin, and second, Xu Zhuo had drawn a clear line with him in public.

I think calling him over this time is nothing more than a routine question.

After that, Ye Zhou prepared to go to the City Lord's Mansion with the young monk.

Just then, a female voice sounded: "Wait."

The young monk saw who was coming and hurriedly stepped forward with a respectful look: "Miss, why are you here?"

The person who came was Qi Rongyin.

Qi Rongyin glanced at Ye Zhou, then turned to look at the young monk and said, "Where are you taking him?"

The young monk hurriedly said, "Miss, I don't know. Just now, a demon cultivator who was about to sneak out of the city was arrested in the city. Someone found out that the demon cultivator had some friendship with him, so they sent me to take him back to the City Lord's Mansion for routine questioning."

Qi Rongyin said, "No need to ask. How could I not know whether he was involved with the demon cultivator?"

The young monk did not dare to refute, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, then I will go back and report."

The young monk looked at Ye Zhou again and said, "Senior Ye, I just followed orders and offended you. I hope you will forgive me."

Ye Zhou said, "No problem."

The young monk bowed to Qi Rongyin again and left, and then hurriedly left.

Zhuang Yu and others looked at Qi Rongyin with surprise. Although they had just arrived in Xianliu City not long ago, they also knew that the guards of the City Lord's Mansion had always been domineering in the city, and it was rare to see them so respectful to others.

Hearing the young monk call Qi Rongyin "Miss", he guessed that Qi Rongyin had some relationship with the city lord, and he couldn't help but have some thoughts of trying to please Ye Zhou.

Qi Rongyin didn't pay attention to Zhuang Yu and the others beside her, and said to Ye Zhou: "Let's go, you came to see me a few days ago, but I didn't have time to see you, but today I am free."
