Chapter 274: Meeting the City Lord at Night
Qiqi was a little surprised. How did the Palace Master know I didn't have a token? And he even went out of his way to get one for me. He also knew I had a friend who needed one.
"Xiao Yi, go back and rest first! Master is a little tired today. I want to rest early."
"Master, I'll have someone bring you some food."
"OK, go ahead."
Qiqi asked the servants and learned that the city lord was in the study. She went to the study and knocked on the door.
"Qiqi, come in! I'm waiting for you."
"City Lord, I'm sorry to bother you. Thank you for making me an identity token."
"Qiqi, I know you are from the human world. Because people in the fairy world all have identity tokens. The tokens have the marks of various states on them. If you don't have an identity token, you will be captured and tortured by the people patrolling the fairy world for security." said the city lord.
"City Lord, I will leave Zhouxian City as soon as possible. I won't cause you any trouble. I will accept the identity token temporarily. I will go to other cities and try to make an identity token for another state. I won't implicate you and Xiaoyi." Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, since I dare to make you an identity token, I will not be afraid. I have long been fed up with their evil deeds. If I didn't have Xiaoyi, I would have turned against them long ago. Many upright and kind generals and marshals who killed monsters and demons were framed to death by them. They defended their country. They kept the fairy world and the people safe. But in the end they became rebels." The city lord said angrily.
"Qiqi, I also know that you are a woman. Your disguise cannot hide your identity as a woman. In the eyes of strong men like us, you will be recognized at a glance. How about this, you take Xiaoyi with you to find your relatives. I will let the old housekeeper go with you. They will not embarrass you for my sake. Just change back into women's clothes and paint them a little uglier. You are my son's master. Let's see who dares to bully you."
"City Lord, you trust me so much. Aren't you afraid that I will sell your son out?" Qiqi said with a smile.
"When you say this, I believe even more that you are a kind and courageous person. Since I let Xiao Yi become your disciple, I believe in you, no matter what kind of person you are.
"Thank you for your trust, Lord. As long as I live, I will protect Xiao Yi."
"Qiqi, the person you are looking for left Zhouxian City a few days ago. I am still sending people to look for him. I will notify you when I have any news." said the city lord.
"Really. You saw Brother Xie Lei's portrait."
"The brother and sister you saved sent people everywhere to ask. As the city lord, it would be difficult for me not to know. I sent people to ask at the four city gates. He came out of the south gate."
"Thank you, City Lord. I will leave the city immediately to look for my brother." Qiqi heard it as soon as she finished speaking.
"Master, I'm here. I'll help you find my relatives. Please don't abandon me." Xiao Yi's voice came. He came with a big bag on his back.
When the city lord saw his son like this, he covered his face and said, "What a shame! Can't you just put everything in the storage ring?"
"Xiao Yi, where is the storage ring I gave you? Put everything in it. What's the point of you carrying a big bag?"
"Father, please don't laugh at me! I put the alchemy furnace in there, and there's not enough space for many things. I also want to ask you for a storage ring." Xiao Yi said.
"My silly son, why don't you ask the housekeeper for one first, and then I will give him one? You only do shameful things." The city lord sighed.
Xiao Yi held out his hand. He grinned. The city lord gave his son a storage ring and rolled his eyes.
Silly son, when will you grow up? I won’t have to worry about you anymore. “Qiqi, take my silly son away quickly, educate him and make him wise.”
Qiqi looked at the father and son with a smile. The city lord was afraid that his son would feel bad if he left him, so he said this on purpose.
At this time, the old housekeeper also came over. "Xiao Yi, you packed your luggage without telling me, are you afraid that I will hold you back?"
"Uncle housekeeper, I was afraid that Master would leave without me, so I came here after I packed up. I must have been waiting for you, and we still need you to protect Master and me! We can't do without you. Many people in the fairy world don't know me, but many people know you. So I don't have to be afraid of them." Xiao Yi said.
Qiqi also saw Xiaoyi's clever side. His ring could probably hold a lot of things. He deliberately teased his father, fearing that his father would be reluctant to let him leave.
Both father and son are considerate of others.
Qiqi and the others quickly left Zhouxian City, leaving from the south gate to chase Xie Lei. She also missed the chance to recognize Zhou Jingze and became even further away from him.
Qiqi and Xiaoyi sat in the carriage, and the old butler served as the groom. This way, they didn't need two carriages, and the old butler could protect them closely.
They walked and searched for Xie Lei and the others. Every time they arrived at a place, they got out of the car to look for them. Qiqi was in the car guiding Xiaoyi to practice. They were walking on the road when they saw a lot of people gathered in front of them. There was a fight going on. "Someone is stealing someone else's spirit stone."
"Hey, the guy who got beaten is spitting blood." "This guy helped an old man get back the spirit stone. These people are holding a grudge against him. No matter how strong the guy is, one person can't fight four people, let alone more than a dozen people fighting one person."
Qiqi felt that Brother Xie Lei was nosy, so she pushed aside the onlookers and went in. She saw the person lying on the ground, and the clothes looked so familiar.
"Stop it, stop hitting me." She went up and knocked several people down. Soon, some of the people surrounding the beatings were all knocked back five meters by Qiqi's spiritual energy.
Qiqi came to the person who was beaten, and with trembling hands, she pulled the person who had fallen to the ground up. When she saw that it was not Xie Lei, Qiqi felt relieved.
Xiao Yi and the old housekeeper also came over. Among those who were trying to grab the spirit stones, someone knew the old housekeeper and whistled. They then ran away, supporting each other.
The rescued person slowly walked over. "Thank you for saving my life."
"Is this dress yours?" Qiqi asked.
"This dress was given to me by a benefactor. The other day, a few thugs robbed me, ripped my clothes to shreds, and stole all my money. My benefactor rescued me from the robbery. Seeing that my clothes were torn, he gave me this dress. He also stayed at my house for two days, saying he was looking for his sister."
"Do you know which direction he went?" Qiqi asked.
"The day he left, I walked him quite a distance, and he just continued along this path."
"Thank you. This is a medicine for healing your wounds. Take it and you will be well soon." Qiqi watched him take it, then she and Xiaoyi got on the carriage and drove in the direction he pointed.
The rescued man felt no pain at all, and his wounds were healing. This was a miracle drug! He quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the carriage in the distance, thanking them for the gift of the miracle drug.
