Chapter 639
Over the years, Xie Liuyin has also been paying attention to the situation of the ascenders.
After Hua Lingxue ascended, Xie Liuyin asked her about Princess Luo.
But Hua Lingxue was only a sect disciple, so she only needed to focus on cultivation. Princess Luo, however, had already taken over the position of City Lord of Yuxing City, and most of her time had to be spent considering city affairs, leaving her with little time for cultivation.
Later, Hua Lingxue ascended to heaven and completely cut off contact with Princess Luo, and both sides were no longer clear about each other's situation.
Right now, Xie Liuyin is in the world of cultivation and has no plans to leave for the time being. If she doesn't go to see how her old friend is doing, she will never be able to let go.
Xie Liuyin was already very familiar with the road to Yuxing City. She and Xiguang changed their appearance again this time and blended into the crowd to enter the city smoothly.
The Yuxing City today is very different from before. Not only has it expanded a lot, it is also more prosperous than when Xie Liuyin saw it before.
However, most of the people in the city are still women, and the female cultivators coming and going are all high-spirited and full of energy.
Xie Liuyin observed the changes in Yuxing City while listening to the discussions of the people around him.
"The mayor of Yuxing City is truly worthy of being the heir of the Feather Clan's bloodline. She has single-handedly developed Yuxing City into the most powerful major city today. The other major cities have been chasing after them for business over the years."
"That's right. Back when she succeeded the city lord, Baiquecheng and Minhuicheng deliberately opposed her and wanted to join forces to capture Yuxing City. Unexpectedly, they were repelled by the city lord and his men, and they suffered heavy losses..."
Xie Liuyin had never heard of this news. She took note of it and planned to ask someone about it after she found a place to stay.
Xiguang found the best inn in the city and took Xie Liuyin to stay there.
Before coming, the two of them had specifically gone to look for some spiritual beasts and spiritual plants and exchanged them for some spiritual stones, so that they could move freely in the world of cultivation.
As for the spirit stones they had saved up before, they were transformed into spiritual energy and dispersed back into the world of cultivation when Xie Liuyin ascended.
The waiter led the two to the superior room they had booked. After entering, Xie Liuyin gave the waiter a spirit stone and asked him about Princess Luo.
She had been away for too long, and a lot had happened to Princess Luo over the years, so Xie Liuyin unconsciously asked too many questions.
It turned out that after Princess Luo succeeded to the position of city lord with the support of her mother, she was indeed provoked by Baiquecheng and Minhuicheng.
Princess Luo and her daughter are no pushovers either, and the relationship between Yuxing City and Qingxiao Sect has been good over the years.
Thanks to Xie Liuyin's kindness, the Qingxiao Sect came to Yuxing City as soon as they found out something happened, wanting to help.
In this way, the alliance between Baique City and Minhui City was defeated, and instead a lot of good things were compensated to Princess Luo.
After this battle, Princess Luo's position as city lord was completely secured.
Later, Princess Luo successfully awakened the bloodline of the Feather Clan and grew wings.
This gave her a huge boost in strength, and then began the history of Yuxing City's smooth and rapid expansion.
Xie Liuyin listened with great interest, and asked from time to time: "And then?"
Xiguang was not very interested in this, so he just served her tea, water and pastries.
After asking the questions, Xie Liuyin gave the waiter a generous reward. The waiter happily accepted the reward and left.
Xie Liuyin had planned to wait until tomorrow to meet Princess Luo, but unexpectedly he realized that someone had surrounded the inn in the middle of the night.
She and Xiguang stood guard at the door, waiting to see what was going on.
The next second, a group of people rushed into their room.
The waiter who was very eloquent during the day and told Xie Liuyin and Xiguang everything he knew was now standing behind the leader in armor and helmet.
"It's them! They pulled me aside in broad daylight to ask about our city lord, and they asked very detailed questions. They must be spies sent from other cities!" The waiter pointed at Xie Liuyin timidly and shouted.
Xie Liuyin almost laughed at what she heard. She said helplessly, "I'm definitely not a spy. I just haven't been to Yuxing City for a long time, so I wanted to ask about the situation here."
"No need to say more, please come back with us to the City Lord's Mansion and sit for a while." The leader bowed.
Her attitude seemed polite, but her tone was unyielding.
Xiguang frowned and was about to take action, but was stopped by Xie Liuyin again: "It doesn't matter. We have to visit the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow anyway. It will save trouble if we go with them."
"I'm not happy with their attitude." Xiguang pursed his lips with an ugly expression.
Xie Liuyin coaxed the man a few more times, and only after he had persuaded the man did he leave with the group.
However, before leaving, Xiguang went to find the waiter to ask for the reward that Xie Liuyin had given him.
The waiter didn't say anything more and simply took out the reward money: "Humph, I don't care about the spirit stones of you spies. Even if you don't tell me, I will give it to the city guards."
Xiguang glared at the waiter fiercely, and was then taken away by the team of city guards.
The City Lord's Mansion remained the same as before, and had not become more luxurious due to the expansion of Yuxing City. Only some places had been slightly repaired.
Seeing how cooperative Xie Liuyin and the other two were, the city guards became much more friendly and at least they didn't arrest and lock them up.
It was already night, but when the two arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, it was brightly lit. It seemed that the owner of the mansion had not yet gone to bed.
Even though Xie Liuyin's cultivation was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, others saw her as a True Lord at the Nascent Soul stage, and even the city guards did not dare to neglect her.
The leading female cultivator found a courtyard to house the two men and asked them not to leave for the time being. Once they found out their purpose, the city guards would release them.
"Don't worry, our General Manager Alan will be here soon. If we have misunderstood you two fellow Taoists, the City Lord's Mansion will definitely apologize to you." said the captain of the city guard.
But in her heart, she didn't want to apologize.
In her opinion, these two people were really strange. Not only could they not explain their origins, but they also clearly showed excessive concern for their city lord.
Most of these people have plans against their city lord. The captain of the city guard has seen a lot of them, so naturally he will not let his guard down against the two of them.
And just as she said, their steward arrived soon.
Xie Liuyin's eyebrows twitched as soon as he heard the name "Alan".
It was not until the butler walked into the room and saw the familiar face that she could not help but burst out laughing on the spot.
The captain of the city guard was very dissatisfied with this and felt that Xie Liuyin was insulting his own steward.
Just when she was about to teach Xie Liuyin a lesson, she saw the person in front of her suddenly raise his hand and wipe his face.
The previously ordinary face suddenly changed. The captain of the city guard had clearly seen this face thousands of times.
Before the captain of the city guard could speak in surprise, the woman in front of him smiled at her steward and said, "It's been many years. How are you and the princess, Alan?"
