Chapter 5567: Indulgence
"If you like it, buy it!" Wang Teng said with a smile, immediately paying the bill.
"Qing'er, anything you like! I'll buy it all for you!" Wang Teng said with a smile.
It had to be said, Wang Teng was quite gifted when it came to saying things women liked to hear.
"Okay." Xiao Qing nodded with a smile, her Divine Sense constantly scouting the surroundings.
Wang Teng's Realm was far inferior to Xiao Qing's, so he couldn't perceive anything.
But Xiao Qing could clearly perceive the discussions of everyone around them, taking those voices into her ears.
Among them, many were discussing Xiao Fan and the matters of the Ancient Burial Holy Land.
"Tell me… was it better when the Shengtian Mansion was in power, or is the Ancient Burial Holy Land better now?!"
"Does that even need to be said? It's definitely the Ancient Burial Holy Land! They aren't strict! They don't oppress us either…"
"Hehe… in my view, it's not that the Ancient Burial Holy Land doesn't want to oppress us, but that they don't have the power. If they were as powerful as the Shengtian Mansion, how could they possibly indulge us?"
"When you put it that way… it seems you're right."
"Have you heard? That Fourth Ancient Ancestor, Xiao Fan, seems to have never emerged from seclusion."
"…"
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Xiao Qing's expression was complicated.
Not oppressing these people had instead become a fault of the Ancient Burial Holy Land.
After Xiao Fan announced he had become the Fourth Ancient Ancestor, the only order he gave was to collect precious Heaven And Earth Treasures from all over.
For any Heaven And Earth Treasure collected, the Ancient Burial Holy Land would provide the corresponding ancient spirit stone.
This matter had no impact at all on ordinary people.
After all, if an average expert obtained a supreme treasure, it wouldn't be a good thing for them; it might even mean disaster.
For the low-level Cultivators, the Ancient Burial Holy Land had no requirements or oppression, yet this led these people to believe the Ancient Burial Holy Land was very weak.
"Qing'er, what's wrong?" Wang Teng asked curiously.
"It's nothing… let's go." Xiao Qing forced a smile.
"Okay!" Wang Teng nodded and continued forward with Xiao Qing, strolling around Kongzuo City.
In Kongzuo City, the news Xiao Qing overheard was all trivial matters, the kind found everywhere, not worth her intervention.
"Wang Teng, what do you think we should do next?" Xiao Qing thought for a moment and asked.
"Next… Qing'er, I've already thought it through." Wang Teng grinned. "Let's sneak into the City Lord's Mansion of Kongzuo City. The City Lord here must know what's going on."
"Hmm? That works too…" Xiao Qing thought for a moment and nodded.
Xiao Qing had Cultivated with the Fire Lizard for so long, and being a Chaos Body herself, sneaking into the City Lord's Mansion of Kongzuo City was very easy.
At night…
Xiao Qing took Wang Teng and stealthily snuck into the City Lord's Mansion of Kongzuo City without anyone noticing.
After entering the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Qing and Wang Teng changed their appearances and began to wander around.
The City Lord's Mansion of Kongzuo City had many rules and strict management; few people dared to whisper.
Because of this, Xiao Qing and Wang Teng didn't investigate any useful news.
"What should we do?!" Xiao Qing's face turned a bit ugly.
"Qing'er, don't worry! We have other ways!"
"What other ways?!" Xiao Qing asked.
"Well… if they don't discuss things privately, we can just go and ask!"
"How do we ask?!"
"Give them ancient spirit stone! Then ask openly!" Wang Teng rubbed his hands.
"Fine!" Xiao Qing nodded.
Then, Wang Teng and Xiao Qing began looking for solitary Servants. Once found, they would take out ancient spirit stone to entice them, hoping to hear some Secrets from their mouths.
Being a Servant in Kongzuo City, one would more or less know some Secrets.
Seeing a large amount of ancient spirit stone, few Servants could restrain themselves, and they one after another shared the news they knew.
After several inquiries, Xiao Qing's face darkened to the extreme.
"Damn it! This City Lord of Kongzuo City is tired of living!" Xiao Qing was annoyed, fuming with Qi.
"Qing'er, don't be Life Qi anymore, it's not worth it!" Wang Teng coaxed.
"But… this City Lord of Kongzuo City! This is actually his indulgence!" Xiao Qing was annoyed.
After the investigation by Xiao Qing and Wang Teng, they could finally confirm that the City Lord of Kongzuo City was actually a staunch opponent of Xiao Fan.
The reason for opposing Xiao Fan, Xiao Qing and Wang Teng had not yet investigated.
But within the territory of Kongzuo City, the reason there were so many voices discussing Xiao Fan was basically the deliberate actions of the City Lord of Kongzuo City.
Normally, the environment of a city is something the City Lord must have some control over.
It was the intentional indulgence of the City Lord of Kongzuo City that led to the current situation.
"This… how about… we just fight our way in?" Wang Teng thought for a moment and said.
"Hmm? Fight our way in? You're not being calm now?" Xiao Qing was stunned.
"Hehe… now that we've found the Culprit, why should we stay low-key? Right?" Wang Teng said with a smile.
"Fair enough. A mere City Lord can be easily suppressed." Xiao Qing nodded.
