In the garden of the City Lord's Mansion

"This is so infuriating!"

Zhao Wushuang held onto a tree branch and faced it towards the bushes beside him, madly venting his anger.

"Miss! Be careful not to hurt yourself ~"

One of the maidservants who had a pretty face quickly pulled her hand.

Xiao Cui, why do you think that brat is so arrogant?! I saved him! I am his savior! How can he rob my room so righteously?! Why should he?! " Zhao Wushuang said while baring his fangs and brandishing his claws.

"Yeah ~ Miss, that kid doesn't know what's good for him, why didn't you chase him out of the mansion?" Xiao Cui looked at Zhao Wushuang with suspicion.

"I wanted to drive him away too, but now he has to stay in the palace. I was even pointing at him to marry me." Zhao Wushuang said powerlessly.

"Ah?" Miss, you … You want that little brat to marry you?! This... Miss! This won't do! If word got out that you were that much older than them, you would probably be laughed at ~! "

Xiao Cui looked at Zhao Wushuang with a strange expression, and thought: "Miss, don't tell me you have that kind of hobby? That's not right? I grew up with her, so why didn't I see it? Besides, wouldn't it be better if we came here in secret? Why did you want everyone to know about it? Miss … "I really don't understand your thoughts …"

Seeing that Xiao Cui's expression was strange, Zhao Wushuang knocked on her forehead angrily, her face full of yearning: "Stupid girl! What are you thinking about?! At least he's better off marrying me than that lewd old man. What does he understand when he's still so young? As long as I can find someone I love before he reaches adulthood, then I'll be at peace with him, and I'll be happy for the rest of my life. "

"Miss ~ So painful ~"

Xiao Cui cried out in pain, and said with worry: "But Miss, that brat seems to be very smart, can he agree?"

"It's not his fault for not agreeing. He has a weakness in my hands right now." Zhao Wushuang said as he looked at the gold coin in his hand.

"In that case, why are you so angry? As long as you can endure this period of time, won't you have hope for the rest of your life? " Xiao Cui explained.

"But I can't take it anymore!" Zhao Wushuang pulled out another tree branch, and started to vent out crazily at the nearby bushes.

In Zhao Wushuang's room, Liu Yunqi closed the slightly opened window and sighed, "Aiya, looks like we won't be able to go out for the time being."

"But big brother Yunqi, don't you have other missions?" Yue Er asked doubtfully.

"If a person can't leave, how can they care about a quest? Besides, this can also be considered a type of experiential learning, right?" Liu Yunqi said.

Just then, a maid brought in a plate of fruits and Liu Yunqi casually took a bite as he said, "At least this place is not bad.

"Since you like it, you can always stay here." A deep voice was suddenly heard.

Liu Yunqi raised his head and looked over, only to see a burly, handsome, middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothing walking in with a few guards.

Who else could this middle-aged man be but the Peerless City Lord?

Liu Yunqi stood up and placed Yue'er behind him with a face full of vigilance: "What do you mean?"

"Hehe, what you mean on the surface, don't be nervous, sit ~" The mayor sat in front of Liu Yunqi and said with a smile.

"Who are you?" Liu Yunqi still did not sit down, and asked vigilantly.

Stunned, the corners of his mouth raised into a faint smile. The mayor said, "Hehe, you've lived in my house for so long and you still don't know who I am? "Don't worry. If I wanted to do anything to you guys, I would have done it last night."

Liu Yunqi was startled for a moment, and thought: "That's true, taking over my daughter's room, it's impossible for her not to know about it."

Thinking of this, he sat opposite the middle-aged man with a relaxed expression.

"Uncle, did you come looking for me for something?" Liu Yunqi asked.

"Hehe, I don't have any purpose. I'm just here to collect some debts." When the mayor heard Liu Yunqi call him "Uncle", he was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, "Looks like this brat doesn't know my identity, then things will be much easier."

"Collect money?" Liu Yunqi looked around, and noticed that other than him and Yue'er, there was only Yue'er in the room. He immediately became suspicious: "Uncle, when do I owe you money?"

"Cough ~ It's true that you don't owe me money, but you owe me an explanation." The mayor coughed and said.

"Explanation?" Liu Yunqi was startled for a moment. "Oh, you mean this room? It was your daughter who told us to stay there. We reluctantly agreed, but we had to pay for the room. "

"Room money?!" Do you think this is an inn?! "You can live here as you please?!" The veins on the mayor's forehead popped out as he felt annoyed in his heart. He said in an amiable manner, "Haha, it has nothing to do with this room. You can stay however long you want."

"Since it has nothing to do with this room, what do you need to say?" Liu Yunqi asked doubtfully.

"Hehe, little brother, you have forgotten too much. Let me remind you, what did you do when you just entered the city yesterday?" The City Lord said.

"Eat." Liu Yunqi said without the slightest hesitation.

"What about before dinner?" The veins on the mayor's forehead popped as he gritted his teeth and said.

"Buy clothes?" Liu Yunqi had a face full of doubt.

"And before I bought the clothes?" The mayor resisted the urge to go and beat Liu Yunqi up, and thought to himself, "Is this brat really stupid or just fake?!"

"Yes, I met Yue Er before that." Liu Yunqi said with a serious face.

"Hur hur ~ Since you've forgotten about it, let me remind you again, this is the battle stadium." The city lord secretly clenched his fist as he spoke.

"Arena? "Oh, I remember now, I went in to take a walk." Liu Yunqi suddenly realized.

"Since you've remembered, then things are much easier. At that time, I was competing for my daughter's Groom Search Competition …"

Before the mayor could finish speaking, Liu Yunqi's face suddenly changed. "Wait! You said that's the Groom Search Competition?! "

"You don't know?" The mayor looked at him in surprise.

"I thought it was just a simple martial arts competition …" Liu Yunqi laughed in embarrassment. Yue'er, who was by the side, was completely confused, blinking her large eyes as she sized the two of them up. She was a little confused as to what they were talking about.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know, it's not too late to know now. Now let me help you analyze it. "Look, you destroyed my daughter's Groom Search Competition! The people of the city laughed at me, and injured Marquis Cao's son, and you also alarmed our City Lord last night. You said that we have a grudge, and if I capture you and send you to Marquis Cao or the City Lord's presence, what will happen?" The mayor said.

"Wait …" Liu Yunqi suddenly frowned as he sized up the City Lord: "Uncle, why do I feel like you look familiar?"

"Familiar?" The Mayor's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly said, "Oh, I was in the arena at the time, so you should have noticed me. It's normal for you to have a bit of an impression of me."

"Wait, wait …" Liu Yunqi immediately raised his hand to stop her, and frowned: "Oh! I remember! Weren't you the City Lord who sat on the stage back then?! "

"Huh?" The mayor was startled. He thought to himself, "No, no, no, you remembered wrong. How could I be the mayor?" "You must have remembered wrong."

"No, no, no! I'm not wrong! I've always had a good memory! No wonder I always felt that Big Sister Wushuang was somewhat familiar! Wasn't she sitting next to you? And at that time, everyone called you the City Lord?! As the mayor, you lied to me and said no, you … What exactly do you all want to do?! " Liu Yunqi immediately stood up in alarm.

Yue Er hurriedly hid behind him, vigilantly looking at the City Lord.

Helplessly sighing, the mayor gestured for him to sit down, "Sit down first, there's no need to be so nervous."

"No!" "If you don't explain clearly about this matter, then I …"

"So what?!" The mayor frowned and snorted, "Brat! This is my territory, is it really appropriate for you to be so arrogant? "

"Have you finally revealed your true face?!" Tell me your purpose! " Liu Yunqi stared at the mayor coldly.

"Purpose?!" Boy! I have explained it clearly enough, you injured Marquis Cao's son, and even disturbed my daughter's Groom Search Competition, don't you think you need to give an explanation?! "

"Explanation?!" What do you want to say?! I already said that I did not do it on purpose. I thought that it was just an ordinary martial arts competition! "

"Do you think that you can solve the problem just by saying that you don't know anything?!" The entire city knows about this, how could you not know?! "

"You all know about it?" Liu Yunqi was startled, and immediately remembered the conversation he had with the hawker when they first entered the city.

Yue'er sensed that something was wrong, and pulled on Liu Yunqi's sleeve. "Big Brother Yunqi, what's wrong, have you done something bad?"

"I …" Liu Yunqi was momentarily at a loss for words, and sincerely apologized to the city master. "I'm sorry, it was my fault, but I didn't do it on purpose.

"Remedy?!" How do you want to remedy this?! " The City Lord's eyes widened as he coldly snorted.

"This... "I …"

"No need to say anymore, I've already thought of a solution for you!"

Liu Yunqi was about to say something when the mayor waved his hand and said, "You defeated Marquis Cao's son, so you're my legitimate son-in-law! But if you refuse, and ruin my daughter's and my reputation, and make us into jokes, then don't think of leaving this city alive! "

"Ah?!" You... You mean... You want me to marry your daughter?! How could he do that?! We are so far apart, and I am only ten years old! " Liu Yunqi's face instantly changed.

Yue Er's face immediately became angry as she said, "No way!" Big brother Yunqi cannot marry that big sister! No! I won't allow it! "

"Heh heh, I'm not allowed to?!" Do you think you are qualified to say that? " The mayor sneered.

"You …"

Yue'er was just about to say something when Liu Yunqi stopped her and said, "City Lord, I just came here, and this is not my original intention. If you want an explanation, I can apologize. It's just that the marriage is a big matter in life. Without the permission of my family, I wouldn't dare make the decision. Furthermore … "I also promised Yue Er that I will marry her in the future. I cannot betray my promise, so please forgive me."

Yue'er's beautiful face immediately flushed red, as she incoherently spoke up while looking at Liu Yunqi, "Yun … Yunqi... Big Brother Yunqi, you … You... "What did you say?!"

Liu Yunqi winked at Yue'er, pretending to be deep in thought, "Yue'er, did you forget? I promised I'd marry you. "

"Ah?!" Yue'er was startled, and immediately became a little bashful: "Big Brother Yunqi … I... "I …"

Seeing the deep affection between the two, the mayor slightly frowned, his face eased up a bit and said, "Hehe ~ The friendship between the two of you is really touching. This is only temporary. Who would let their daughter marry a child? "I'm just trying to save some reputation. Once the news gets out, I'll let my daughter annul her relationship with you. It won't be a hindrance to the two of you ~"

Yue'er immediately lowered her head in embarrassment, but her hands were tightly holding onto Liu Yunqi's arm.

Liu Liu Yunqi did not notice Yue'er's expression as she said to the City Lord, "But, I am still a child. If you want me to marry your daughter, isn't that more detrimental to your reputation? Aren't you afraid that people will say that if you can't find a son-in-law, you can find a child to replace them with? "

"I have already considered this point. Since you defeated Marquis Cao's son, it is reasonable for you to be my son-in-law. Even if others were to gossip, we can still stop them from talking, right? " The mayor said.

"Big brother Yunqi, I can't agree to that. If big sister finds out that you married without her permission, she'll definitely be angry, and I don't agree to that!" Yue'er reacted at this moment, seeing Liu Yunqi was a little shaken, she anxiously asked.

Suddenly, an image of Liu Xu getting angry surfaced in Liu Yunqi's mind, and he trembled as he said, "Yes, Yue'er is right! I can't marry without my family! "

"Don't worry about that, as long as my daughter passes the limelight then she will immediately end her relationship with you. When that happens, you can continue to do your thing and my daughter will continue to be her young miss. No one will know about that." The mayor continued to bewitch him.

"Really?" Liu Yunqi was moved by her words.

Yue'er anxiously said, "No ~ Big Brother Yunqi, you can't agree to his request!"

Liu Yunqi pondered for a moment, then whispered in Yue'er's ears: "What he said is not unreasonable, if we do not agree to him now, at that time, we will not have anything good to eat, so we can only promise him now, didn't he already say that? After the limelight passes, we will be able to get rid of our relationship. If we can all get benefits, why can't we do the same? "

"But …" Yue'er was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"Alright, good ~ This will be our secret when the time comes ~ ~ Big Sister, you must not tell me, or else you will also suffer ~" Liu Yunqi said.

"You! Humph! I hate you! "I won't be paying any attention to you anymore!" Yue Er angrily returned to her bed and used a quilt to wrap herself up as a dumpling.

"Have you discussed it?" the mayor asked.

"Hehe, we have discussed it. About that, I want to confirm it again. Will you really end your relationship with me then?" Liu Yunqi confirmed again.

"At that time, it won't be up to you ~" The mayor thought to himself as he smiled and said, "Of course not ~ I will make it a big deal."

"You have to agree to one more condition."

"Oh? "Tell me about it."

"I can't let my sister know about this."

"Oh? Who's your sister? " The mayor had a curious expression.

"My sister is called Liu Xu, the disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect Secct Master."
