"He wants me to capture some talented children from influential families." "At that time, the Fu Clan was just an ordinary family, it was because the Old City Lord was kind and took care of them, and because he treated the people well, he did his best to let the big families live and work well, and was thus chosen as the City Lord of Immortal Yang City. But now that the Old City Lord is so old, this City Lord's Mansion is no longer just an iron bucket.

Uncle Yu's eyes were filled with tears as he spoke each word from the bottom of his heart. Even Mu Xiaoling couldn't help but be moved. "I'll help you, but it won't be enough with just the two of us."

Uncle Yu quickly said: "Young Master Feng Jiuyang has also agreed to help. Why don't we go to the Feng Clan first and think of a viable plan?"

Mu Xiaoling looked at Gu Xiu. "Ah Xiu, what do you think?"

Gu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly. "I'll listen to my master."

"Fine." Mu Xiaoling finally agreed.

"Follow me." Uncle Yu was leading the way in front. The defensive layout of the entire City Lord's Mansion was much clearer than his. He easily left the City Lord's Mansion and knocked on the Feng Clan's front door.

The courtyard door opened. It was Feng Jiuyang who was personally guarding the door. Looking left and right to confirm that there was no one else, he opened the door and said, "Come in."

A moment later, Mu Xiaoling, Gu Xiuhu, Uncle Yu, and Feng Jiuyang sat in the pavilion in the center of the lake.

Feng Jiuyang said, "This place is the most spacious. If someone were to eavesdrop, it would be obvious."

Uncle Yu nodded gratefully, "Thank you, young master."

Feng Jiuyang looked at Gu Xiu Hu, "This is …"

Mu Xiaoling replied, "His name is Ah Xiu. He's my friend."

Gu Xiu Hu shook his head. "I'm just master's servant."

The identity of a servant was easier for Feng Jiuyang to accept than being a friend. After all, the former was two individuals, and there was always the possibility of being betrayed. The latter could only be considered a group.

Uncle Yu stood straight, bowed deeply and said, "Today, on behalf of the old mayor, I thank everyone for stepping forward!"

"Uncle Yu, please get up!" Feng Jiuyang hurriedly helped him up, "Back then when I came to Immortal Yang City, it was fortunate that the Old City Lord helped me so that I didn't have to sleep out on the streets. It's only right that I stand out now."

Mu Xiaoling said, "I also hope that we can find out who the culprit is as soon as possible and return the innocence of my companions and I."

"Thank you, thank you." Uncle Yu wiped his tears and sat down again.

But since they had agreed, there was nothing they could do.

"First, we have to dive in without alerting those monsters," said Gu Xiu.

This was actually the most difficult part. Feng Jiuyang was also sneakily brought in by Uncle Yu to take a look, and there were too many monsters inside. If they were all released, then with their abilities, they definitely wouldn't be able to deal with them.

Silence filled the air for a moment.

"This one has a plan." Feng Jiuyang stroked his zither. "It's just that this method is a bit risky."

Mu Xiaoling replied, "Young Noble Feng, please speak."

Feng Jiuyang said, "Since Fu Wanwu wants to have outstanding talent, we will give it to him. After we enter, we will suddenly launch an attack and take Fu Wanwu's uniform away, and then we will use explosives to blow up that place."

Feng Jiuyang's plan was simple and crude. Although it was dangerous, he didn't have a better plan.

"That's it. It's just that it's better to be early than late. Where can we find so many explosives in such a short amount of time?" Mu Xiaoling agreed.

Uncle Yu said: "There is one in the City Lord's Mansion. Leave this matter to me. It can also be considered as letting me do my best."

After discussing the details, everyone dispersed. After Uncle Yu hid all the explosives in the underground palace, he would inform them about his next move.

After sending off Uncle Yu, Mu Xiaoling also wanted to leave, but Feng Jiuyang was the first to block her path.

Mu Xiaoling politely took half a step back. "Is Young Noble Feng busy?"

Feng Jiuyang slightly smiled: "It is better for Lady Mu to stay at my place than to stay out for the night."

Mu Xiaoling shook her head, "Many thanks for Young Noble Feng's good intentions. However, your companion is still waiting for me to return. I won't disturb you any longer. Once Uncle Yu's signal is out, I will naturally come to meet him."

After saying that, he cupped his hands and took his leave, leaving the Feng Clan together with Gu Xiu and returned to the abandoned backyard of Hundred Flowers Tower.

At this moment, the sky was already bright and people were gradually coming to and fro from nearby areas. However, Hundred Flowers Tower was the most deserted place in the city.

Tang Ling and Qi Tai were practicing their martial skills in the yard. When they saw Mu Xiaoling return, they immediately stopped and went up to her. "Little Ling, did you find anything?"

"Let's talk inside." Mu Xiaoling rubbed the space between her eyebrows and told them everything that had happened the night before once they entered the room. Tang Ling and Qi Tai were dumbstruck.

Tang Ling swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty. "It's really thrilling."

Qi Tai nodded.

Mu Xiaoling pinched her forehead again. "I have a bad premonition that this matter will not be this simple. Tang Ling and Qi Tai, I want you to help me with something."

Tang Ling said, "Just say it directly."

Last night, we came out from this tunnel. When we were moving, I will give you a map, so don't move together with me, but you will enter the Mayor's mansion by yourself. If I don't come out by this tunnel in two hours, I will drill a hole through the top of the tunnel and pour some water. "Mu Xiaoling said.

Gu Xiu's eyebrows creased. "Master, are you worried that there's some sort of trap here?"

"Just in case, I don't want to leave my life in the hands of others." Mu Xiaoling took out a porcelain bottle from her spatial ring and opened it. She took out several small blue pills and gave each of them two. "This is a water repellent pill. It can keep you safe for two hours in the water."

She then looked at Gu Xiu and said, "Ah Xiu, you are a fox after all. You cannot go through water. If you find anything wrong, then please return to my beast repelling space."

Gu Xiu's eyes were only filled with Mu Xiaoling's reflection as he replied, "Rest assured, Master. I will be fine."

Tang Ling clenched her teeth and swore, "We will definitely do our best. We definitely won't let anything happen to Little Ling."

Mu Xiaoling smiled and nodded. She naturally believed in them.

In the following time, Tang Ling and Qi Tai started to cultivate more diligently as they broke through again and again, all of them reaching Fighter 4-dan.

Half a month later, Mu Xiaoling received a message from Uncle Yu using the butterfly to bring Gu Xiu Hu to the Feng Clan. After meeting with Feng Jiuyang, the three of them were placed in three large boxes in a cloth bag. Just like that, they were carried into the City Lord's Mansion and into the underground palace.

Mu Xiaoling sat quietly on her knees, listening to the sound of footsteps. There were 14 people outside, 12 of them were carrying a box and one of them was Uncle Yu. So who was the other one?
