Senior brother, stop it, you are the villain!

"Sister Jiujiu, what's going on in Wuling City recently? I seem to have seen a lot of powerful monks..."

In a tavern, Su Ling'er asked Lin Xiaoran curiously while drinking.

This tavern is one of Dai Zhixin's businesses, and its main products are various fruit wines. Although distilled liquor has little market in this world, fruit wine is welcomed by many people because of its novelty. Dai Zhixin has made a lot of money by monopolizing the market with fruit wine.

Su Ling'er doesn't like to drink, but the sweet fruity taste in fruit wine makes her fascinated, and she comes to drink a little almost every day. In just a few days, the money she spent in this tavern can almost buy a small house in a remote area of ​​Wuling City.

When Lin Xiaoran heard Su Ling'er's question, he frowned, sighed, and said, "Something big is going to happen."

"Big thing?" Su Ling'er opened her round eyes wide and looked at Lin Xiaoran.

Lin Xiaoran also looked at Su Ling'er with a hesitant look. After spending some time together, the two have become close friends. In addition to his true identity, Lin Xiaoran talks to her about almost everything.

And Su Linger trusts Lin Xiaoran even more, and even said with great ambition: "When I successfully marry into the City Lord's Mansion, I will definitely find a way to let you marry Feng Shao!"

Lin Xiaoran: "..."

Thank you, but I married him five years ago.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Xiaoran did not directly answer Su Linger's question, but asked: "Linger, Wuling City may usher in a war in a few days, otherwise... you should leave here first!"

Su Linger asked in surprise: "War? What's going on?"

Lin Xiaoran had to tell Su Linger about the unknown black fog that appeared in the northwest. After hearing this, Su Linger couldn't help but show a look of horror on her face and asked, "What the hell is that? Is there no one who can stop it?"

Lin Xiaoran shook his head and said, "It's hard to say whether it can be stopped or not. However, the people from Yunjian Pavilion and Longhua Temple have already rushed to Wuling City respectively. It is said that people from Taixuan Holy Land and Jiuyin Holy Land will also arrive within two days. They are preparing to have a decisive battle with the black fog here and strangle it here."

Su Linger heard the horror on her face and instantly turned into excitement: "So, I can still see my idol Shao Yunqing?"

Shao Yunqing...

Lin Xiaoran had a special feeling when he heard this name. Lin Xiaoran also knew about Shao Yunqing's feelings for Feng Shao. But there is only one husband, and Lin Xiaoran doesn't want to give her husband to others.

Five years ago, Shao Yunqing basically had no news after returning to Jiuyin Holy Land. Later, Lin Xiaoran learned from other people's discussions that Shao Yunqing had walked up the ladder of love in Jiuyin Holy Land and succeeded. If nothing unexpected happens, the next Nine Yin Saint Lord should be her.

But when Lin Xiaoran heard the news, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad for her.

Lin Xiaoran shook his head, threw this idea out of his mind, and said to Su Linger seriously: "Linger, the decisive battle in a few days will definitely be very dangerous. I suggest you leave Wuling City temporarily."

Since Wuling City has been preset as the place for the decisive battle, everything must be paved for the decisive battle. The meeting hall has decided to evacuate the civilians in the city. These days, there have been civilians leaving Wuling City with their families and taking refuge in other cities under the escort of the Wuling City garrison. The Wuling City garrison is a temporary team composed of low-level cultivators. In terms of strength, it is no problem to deal with ordinary bandits, but if they encounter a slightly stronger demon cultivator, it may be bad.

However, Wuling City has now received support from four of the five major forces in Dongzhou. If any blind cultivator robs and loots at this time, it would be showing off his power over the four major forces. There are many ways to commit suicide in this world, and this is definitely the worst one.

In addition, Wuling City also recruited casual cultivators in the city to assist in the battle. With Su Linger's strength, she was originally qualified to apply. However, considering the Jiuyou Holy Land behind her, the Council believed that letting Su Linger apply might not bring any benefits to the battle situation, but might cause trouble. If Su Linger accidentally died in the battle, the Jiuyou Holy Land might go to war with Wuling City.

Although Wuling City is not afraid of the Jiuyou Holy Land, it is better to avoid unnecessary battles as much as possible.

But Su Linger was determined to stay. She said solemnly: "Whether I marry here or not, I don't want to see such a good city fall overnight. So I have to contribute my own strength! Sister Jiujiu, I won't leave!"

This is really what she really thinks. During the time she was with Lin Xiaoran, Lin Xiaoran took her around the city every day and visited all kinds of shops. Many new things that she had never heard of were everywhere here, making her linger. Wuling City's attraction to her is already greater than Feng Shao. So she has decided that whether she can marry here or not, she will live in Wuling City!

Since she has made this decision, she must also help to protect this city!

Lin Xiaoran couldn't help but hold his forehead. She knew it would be this result.

"That... Sister Jiujiu, I have a question that I have always... I have always wanted to ask you..." Su Linger suddenly said hesitantly.

"What's the question?"

"What is your identity? I feel... you seem to have a high status here."

Lin Xiaoran fell into silence.

If Su Linger insisted on staying, she would definitely know his identity sooner or later. It seems unnecessary to hide it at this time...

Just thinking of such an innocent girl who has always trusted him, but he has always kept it a secret from her, always makes Lin Xiaoran feel guilty.

Su Linger saw Lin Xiaoran's hesitation, so she hurriedly said: "Actually... it doesn't matter if you don't say it..."

Hearing Su Linger say this, Lin Xiaoran suddenly felt that the guilt in his heart was even heavier.

So Lin Xiaoran took a deep breath and said, "It's okay to tell you, but you have to promise me that you won't get angry."

Su Linger smiled and said, "What's there to be angry about?"

Seeing Lin Xiaoran's serious face, Su Linger had to nod: "Okay, okay, I promise you that I won't be angry. Can you tell me now?"

Lin Xiaoran looked at Su Linger solemnly and said, "I...actually, I am the wife of Feng Shao, the Lord of Wuling City, Lin Xiaoran."

After saying this answer, Lin Xiaoran suddenly felt her heart pounding and her breathing became heavy. She was waiting for Su Linger's reaction after hearing this answer. Whether she was surprised, angry, or any other reaction, Lin Xiaoran was mentally prepared.

Su Linger really opened her eyes wide and asked in surprise: "You...you are Lin Xiaoran? Feng Shao's wife? The wife of the Lord of Wuling City? The daughter of the Lord of Yunjian Pavilion and the Lord of Xiaoyao Hall?"

Every time Su Linger said an identity, Lin Xiaoran nodded.

But then, Su Linger's reaction made Lin Xiaoran a little confused.

Su Linger slapped her forehead and said angrily: "I should have guessed it long ago. Those people in the meeting hall and the city lord's mansion were very respectful when they saw you. I knew you were not simple, but I didn't expect it to be so simple..."

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoran couldn't help but ask curiously: "Aren't you angry?"

Su Linger asked back in confusion: "Angry? Why angry? I'm a little worried that you will be angry!"

Lin Xiaoran looked at her in confusion.

Su Linger said embarrassedly: "As soon as I came to Wuling City, I kept telling you that I wanted to marry Feng Shao. As Feng Shao's wife, you must be a little unhappy in your heart, right?"

Lin Xiaoran: "..."

To be honest, Lin Xiaoran was really unhappy at first. After all, her family of three lived a good life. Suddenly a girl came out and said she wanted to marry her husband. How could she be happy?

However, after spending some time together, Lin Xiaoran actually put this idea behind his mind, and instead felt a little guilty for hiding it from Su Linger.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoran suddenly felt very funny, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Su Linger's face was embarrassed: "Hey, what do you mean? Am I really that funny in your eyes?"

Lin Xiaoran smiled and waved his hands, saying: "No! I just think we are really interesting. I'm worried that you'll be angry, and you're worried that I'll be angry. In this case, let's just not get angry, what do you think?"

Su Linger also laughed: "That's indeed the truth. Okay, let's not get angry!"

This time, the two women really became friends.

Su Linger asked again: "Then... I will call you 'Sister Xiao Ran' from now on? Uh... Wait, I heard that you seem to be 21 years old, right? But why do you look younger than me?"

Lin Xiaoran smiled and said: "I am a bit like my mother. You haven't seen my mother yet. Just looking at her appearance, she looks younger than me!"

"Tsk tsk, I have heard for a long time that Xiaoyao Jianxian was once known as the most beautiful woman in Dongzhou. I have long wanted to see her. But looking at your daughter, I seem to be able to imagine how beautiful and charming Senior Xiaoyao Jianxian is."

"So do you have to call me 'sister' from now on?"

Su Linger shook her head: "No, I will call you 'Sister Xiao Ran' from now on. I am used to it and can't change it."

"...Okay, then it's up to you!"

"Okay, I have decided!" Su Linger suddenly stood up and said loudly.

Lin Xiaoran didn't react for a moment: "What did you decide?"

"We decided to defend Wuling City together!" Su Linger said ambitiously, "But this time, I'm not doing this for Feng Shao, but for my good sister!"
