Chapter 158：

"..." Xi Ning said a lot, but Yuan Heng didn't seem to listen. He tucked up the quilt for the person on the bed, as if he was afraid that the person on the bed would not sleep well, so he brushed his hair again. It seemed that he was afraid that the fluttering hair would wake up the person on the bed.

"..." Xining's eyes twitched uncontrollably a few times.

I know this person cares about Yao'er, but...others talk...

Forget it, let's talk about everything when Yao'er wakes up.

Xi Ning waved his hands and walked straight out. Seeing this, the doctor followed him out.

At the door, Cheng Bai greeted him immediately.

"City Master, what happened to Xiaojiaobao?"

Xi Ning was taken aback, and looked at Cheng Bai with complicated eyes. This man's complexion was still a little pale, and his footsteps were very flimsy. His injury is still not healed, but he has been guarding Yao'er...

But…

"Cheng Bai, Yao'er...is fine." Xi Ning said.

Cheng Bai breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that he's fine, what kind of illness is this? Why did he faint suddenly?"

When the doctor heard this, he naturally continued, "Young master, he is..."

"He is suffering from the cold." The city lord Xining interrupted the doctor. The doctor was taken aback for a moment, then he saw Xi Ning winking at him, and he said knowingly: "I'll go first, the young master is fine. Here comes the prescription."

"I'm sorry to trouble the doctor." Xi Ning watched him off.

Cheng Bai stared, turned around as if walking towards Wang Jin's room, Xi Ning saw it with sharp eyes, and stopped him: "Wait, Cheng Bai."

"Huh?" Cheng Bai turned his head, and said calmly, "Yuan Heng is still inside."

"..." Cheng Bai's expression turned cold: "I'm also Xiaojiaobao's fiancé."

"..." Xining Dun was silent for a moment, before thinking about it, he said: "Do you still remember what I told you before? They are going to get married when they come back."

"..." Cheng Bai lowered his head and did not speak.

Xi Ning said: "It's time to let go, Cheng Bai."

"...City Lord, I hunted back Haiqiong, but Yuan Heng didn't hunt back anything, I am better than him!" Cheng Bai said: "You should choose me for Xiaojiaobao's happiness! Besides, there is no Xiaojiaobao who personally refuses , I will not give up, even you, it is impossible to decide everything for Xiaojiaobao, right?"

"..." Xi Ning sighed, and was about to speak when Shan Bo's announcement came from the door: "City Lord, Young Master Cheng and Young Master Pan Yue are back, please see the City Lord."

"Please."

Shan Bo retreated, and not long after, Cheng Li and Pan Yue came in and saluted the city lord.

Cheng Bai saluted Cheng Li: "Brother."

"I heard that the young master fell ill? Is it important?" Pan Yue asked.

Xin Ning shook his head, Cheng Bai turned around and was about to go into the house again, Xin Ning stopped him again: "Cheng Bai, what I said was very clear just now, you just... don't go in, if you want to go in, you have to wait for Yao'er to wake up and agree Let's go."

"..." Cheng Bai's knuckles suddenly tightened: "I can't even look at Xiaojiao now?!"

"It's just troublesome, why meet each other, Yao'er already has his own choice." Xi Ning said.

"But I'm stronger than Yuan Heng, I hunted back Haiqiong!" Cheng Bai was furious.

"Cheng Bai!" Cheng Li yelled angrily, "Is this your attitude towards the city lord?"

"Brother..." Cheng Bai turned around and lowered his head to Xi Ning: "Sorry, City Lord."

Xi Ning shook his head, and Cheng Li said to Cheng Bai: "From now on, we must never say that we are stronger than Yuan Heng. Yuan Heng also hunted Hai Qiong, and there are eight adult Hai Qiong."

"!" Xining and Cheng Bai raised their eyes in astonishment, Cheng Bai muttered: "How is it possible?"

Xining also had a look of disbelief.

This adult Haiqiong had already killed his father, how could a beastman kill eight adult Haiqiong at once.

Seeing that the two of them didn't believe it, Cheng Li nodded affirmatively at them again, and Pan Yue also echoed: "It's true, City Lord, Brother Cheng and I saw it with our own eyes, that young master was almost attacked by Hai Qiong , Yuan Heng got angry and killed all eight Haiqiong at once."

As if thinking of something, Pan Yue waved back, the man stepped forward with something in his hand, Pan Yue took the thing in his hand, waved him away, opened the package in his hand and placed it on the ground, Pan Yue said: " City Lord, look, this is what we found when we came back to the beach and met the servants cleaning up the beach. It was brought back by Yuan Heng. There is marinated Haiqiong crescent meat in it. It should have been brought to the city lord to taste. Yes, we came back and heard that something happened there, maybe something happened, and they all forgot to take this thing.”

"..." Xi Ning stepped forward to take a look, there was indeed a big leaf wrapped in some sun-dried golden fish meat, it smelled very fragrant, and there was a sun-dried shark's fin beside it, looking at the size and shape of the shark's fin...it was indeed an adult Haiqiong without a doubt.

"So, I actually lost?" Cheng Bai took two steps back, his face getting paler.

Even if he tried his best, he couldn't beat that man.

Cheng Bai walked out dejectedly, Xi Ning was afraid that Cheng Bai would be serious, so he impulsively hunted Hai Qiong who was like Yuan Heng, frowning and hurriedly said: "Cheng Bai, it's not just because you have no chance for Hai Qiong, there is another thing You should know that too."

Originally, he didn't intend to tell Cheng Bai immediately, but... he will know sooner or later.

Xi Ning took a deep breath, and said softly: "Yao'er...is pregnant, and the child belongs to Yuan Heng."

"..." Cheng Bai's footsteps stopped, and his body swayed on the spot. Cheng Li was shocked and wanted to step forward to help, but was pushed down by Xi Ning.

Cheng Bai shook his head, didn't answer, and walked away in a panic, his back looked quite distraught.

"His matter has to be figured out by himself." Xin Ning said, looking at Cheng Li with burning eyes, "Since you have heard about the incident by the sea, do you know what Pan Shulin did?"

"..." Cheng Li was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and replied, "I heard."

Pan Yue was depressed, and he asked in a low voice: "City Lord, my brother... did he really do such a thing?"

"Your brother, what do you think?" Xining asked Pan Yue angrily, but Pan Yue was too choked to answer.

Xi Ning paused for a while, then asked Pan Yue: "Your brother has done such a thing now, what should you do?"

"..." Pan Yue was taken aback for a moment, and looked up at Xin Ning, only to see that Xi Ning was staring at him, as if testing his attitude.

He hurriedly said: "Of course I don't tolerate it. My brother must be punished if he made a mistake. However, City Lord, I heard that my father also made trouble with you... For the sake of father's loyalty, please forgive him, please?"

Hearing this, Xi Ning was relieved a lot: "If you can say that, I am relieved. You can rest assured. Although your father is angry with me, he did not participate in today's affairs after all. I will not embarrass him, but I will never forgive Pan Shulin, you have to understand."

"Pan Yue understands that Pan Yue must cooperate and catch his younger brother as soon as possible to be punished. My Pan family has no objection to what he has suffered." Pan Yue said sadly.

"..." Xi Ning was silent for a while and said: "I know you love your brother, and asking you to personally arrest your brother and bring him back for punishment is too cruel for you. Your brother's mistakes have nothing to do with your family. Don't worry about things, I have my own arrangements."

Pan Yue's heart warmed up, and he hurriedly saluted, "Thank you, Lord Cheng, for your understanding."

Xi Ning pursed his lips and said, "But remember, if I find out that your Pan family is secretly helping your younger brother, then none of your Pan family will be able to escape."

Pan Yue was startled, and quickly expressed his loyalty: "The Pan family won't, the city lord can rest assured, if my Pan family has news about my younger brother, I will tell the truth."

Xining narrowed her eyes in satisfaction: "Very good."

After all, he looked at Cheng Li, frowned, and after a while, he asked, "I just want to ask you, did you really know that the letter was sent to Yao'er by Pan Shulin?"

"...Yes." Cheng Li responded.

Xi Ning suppressed his anger and said, "You know it and still hide it for him? Give me an explanation, or you will be guilty of the same crime as him."

Hearing this, Pan Yue quickly interjected, "City Master, Brother Cheng is doing it for Cheng Bai, thinking that his younger brother just wants to save Cheng Bai just like him, and he didn't intend to hide it. I can testify about this, and it is inappropriate to be guilty of the same crime."

He knew that his younger brother would definitely be severely punished this time and might lose his life. Cheng Li was innocent and should not be implicated.

"Is he right?" Xin Ning asked Cheng Li.

Cheng Li swallowed, bowed his head and saluted, "This matter is indeed my fault, and my subordinates are willing to accept all punishments."

"You do have backbone." Xining snorted coldly, raised his head and thought for a while, and said, "You should have been punished severely this time, but Yao'er came back safely, and you performed very well afterwards... You have been in the torture room to face the wall for a month. .”

This punishment is already extremely light.

Pan Yue heaved a sigh of relief, and Cheng Li's nose twitched: "Thank you, the city lord, this subordinate let the city lord down this time."

"..." Xi Ning pursed her lips, feeling uncomfortable.

This Cheng Li is his brother and one of his most trusted people, this time unexpectedly...

"Know that I'm disappointed, so don't do it next time."

"Yes." Cheng Li led the order to leave, and Pan Yue followed suit.

Xi Ning looked at the things spread out on the ground, there were a lot of seafood that he had never seen before, and he didn't know what the ancient orc and Yao'er brought back.

"Shan Bo." Xi Ning called Shan Bo, pointed to those things and said: "Keep this well, when Yao'er wakes up, maybe I will look for it."

"Yes." Shan Bo took the order, and Xi Ning said: "The people in the attic will check to see who took Pan Shulin's money to deliver the letter to Yao'er. In addition, Yao'er woke up and sent someone to tell me. gone back."

"Send the city lord."

Pan Shulin ran around, and now people in Ning'an City were arresting him everywhere, but he felt unwilling to let him leave Ning'an City.

Crouching in the dark, Pan Shulin noticed that several orc guards seemed to be paying attention to him. Seeing those orcs walking towards him, he trembled in fear, hurriedly brushed his hair more messily, and shrunk further.

Shrinking to nowhere to retreat, suddenly someone next to him pulled him into an alley and ran forward. Pan Shulin staggered to keep up, and slightly parted his hair to look at the person in front of him.

It turned out to be Zhaoxiang's attendant.

It has been a long time since I saw this person. Ever since I heard that Zhaoxiang had her eyes cut off and her tongue cut off, Pan Shulin has never been in contact with Zhaoxiang again. He even disappeared from Zhaoxiang, let alone Zhaoxiang's attendants.

The attendant dragged him to the back door of Zhaoxiang's backyard somehow, dragged Pan Shulin in like a thief, avoided others and brought Pan Shulin to Zhaoxiang's yard.
