The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine

As soon as Jiang Qingyi saw Si Xiu's expression, she knew what he was thinking. She couldn't help but complain in her heart:

Our cheap master is so cruel. Doesn’t he think that we are all going to die here?

However, there seemed to be nothing wrong with his thinking this way. The confrontation between cultivators below the level of Sanxian and the demon generals was no different from an egg hitting a stone.

Since Si Xiu didn't know that she had space, it seemed reasonable for him to think that none of them would survive.

But no matter how worried others are, Jiang Qingyi will absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not reveal the existence of this space.

Tai Qing looked outside worriedly, and then said to Si Xiu, "Go send a visiting card to the City Lord's Mansion and see how they react."

Si Xiu sighed, "I'm afraid City Lord Jia won't see outsiders at this point."

"Why worry about this? This is all just our guess. We might as well go and see if there is any chance of a turnaround."

Tai Qing said this, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Handing in a visiting card at this time is a test and also a way to confirm whether your guess is correct.

Of course, Si Xiu didn't have to personally take part in delivering visiting cards. Jiang Qingyi wanted to see what was happening outside, so she volunteered to go.

Ji Fusang and the others were worried about Jiang Qingyi, so of course they wanted to go with her.

But Si Xiu only asked Ling Yue to go with him.

After getting permission, Ling Yue was very excited, but he looked calm on the surface and showed no special emotions.

Not long after, Jiang Qingyi left the inn with Ling Yue, taking the visiting card that Si Xiu had just written.

The streets were still as busy as before. In fact, because people could not leave the city, they started setting up stalls to exchange things with others. It seemed even more lively than before.

Jiang Qingyi felt a little emotional as she watched this scene. If these people knew that they were about to be sacrificed, they would not be so calm.

"Junior sister, come this way." Ling Yue, who was following beside her, suddenly spoke.

Jiang Qingyi looked carefully and found that they were at a fork in the road and needed to take the road on the side to go to the City Lord's Mansion.

"Let's go, senior brother."

Ling Yue nodded, and he continued to follow Jiang Qingyi.

Too many things had happened recently, and neither of them had the mood to chat, so they walked in silence towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Soon the two arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, but while they were still a long distance away, guards were already coming towards them with weapons in hand.

Jiang Qingyi suddenly stopped and stood there waiting for the guard to come.

Just as Jiang Qingyi guessed, the guard was indeed coming towards them.

Before Jiang Qingyi and Ling Yue could explain their purpose, the guard said sternly, "This is a restricted area of ​​the City Lord's Mansion. No outsiders are allowed to approach. Please leave immediately."

Hearing this, Jiang Qingyi felt like laughing. Isn't this City Lord's Mansion too noble?

What on earth were they being so noble about? Jiang Qingyi couldn't figure it out.

Perhaps because Jiang Qingyi and the other guard didn't react, the guard took a step back and looked at them vigilantly.

At this time, Jiang Qingyi spoke calmly, "We are disciples of Si Xiu, the dean of the Pharmacist Branch of Brahma College. I am here to deliver the visiting card to the city lord on behalf of my master."

The guard looked at Jiang Qingyi and the others in confusion.

Jiang Qingyi's face looked calm and composed, without any sign of guilt.

Ling Yue on the side was even calmer. After all, what the junior sister said was the truth, and they didn't have anything else to do, so they were not afraid of being stared at.

The guard glanced at the visiting card in Jiang Qingyi's hand, and then his attitude became better. "So you are Dean Si's disciples. I am sorry for my rashness in bumping into you two."

Jiang Qingyi chuckled, "No problem, it's just my duty. But this visiting card...?"

The guard looked embarrassed and said, "You two should take these visiting cards back. Our city lord has long ago ordered that no one should be seen during the blockade of the city. If you really need anything, you can come back after the blockade."

Jiang Qingyi nodded. "So that's how it is. Since the city lord has already given instructions, we won't bother you any more. Goodbye."

"You two walk slowly."

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Ling Yue asked in confusion, "Junior Sister, that guard should know a lot of information. Why didn't he ask a few more questions just now?"

Jiang Qingyi shook her head. "That person is from the City Lord's Mansion. City Lord Jia will definitely know what he says, which will easily expose our purpose. So it's better for others to tell us."

Ling Yue thought about it and finally nodded in agreement.

They quickly returned to the room where Ji Fusang was in the inn.

Jiang Qingyi looked inside and didn't see Si Xiu. She felt a little strange and asked, "Where's Master? Why isn't he here?"

Mu Yu shrugged, "Master went out for something, and he didn't even let us follow him. I don't know what he's going to do."

Tai Qing, who was resting with his eyes closed on the couch, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Little girl, you guys are back. How are you? Have you sent out the visiting card?"

Jiang Qingyi sat down on the chair closest to her. "No, we were still quite far from the City Lord's Mansion when the guards came to chase us away. We said we were going to deliver a visiting card, but the guards directly refused and didn't report it to the higher-ups."

Tai Qing frowned, "It seems that City Lord Jia has given instructions in advance, otherwise the people below would not dare to make decisions on their own."

Jiang Qingyi also said affirmatively, "That's what the guard said. He said he received the order from the city lord not to see any visitors during the blockade of the city."

Tai Qing looked solemn. City Lord Jia's decision not to accept visiting cards seemed to prove his previous guess.

The room fell silent again.

Jiang Qingyi couldn't think of any other way to save the lives of the people in this city.

She had a bad feeling in her heart that something big was going to happen.

After dark, Si Xiu came back from outside alone, and the expression on his face was not very good.

Ji Fusang and the others looked at each other. They rarely saw Si Xiu in this state and for a moment they did not dare to ask.

Seeing that her senior brothers and sisters were silent, Jiang Qingyi chose not to speak either.

Finally, Tai Qing spoke up to break the silence in the room, "Si boy, did you find anything on your trip out?"

Jiang Qingyi stared at Si Xiu's face, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry from his expression.

Si Xiu exhaled, and then slowly spoke, "This city is blocked every once in a while, and almost everyone is used to it. They don't think this is a conspiracy by the city lord. It can be seen that the city lord has been preparing to awaken the demon general for a long time."

Jiang Qingyi suddenly realized that the union between the city lord and Jinxia was probably full of deception. Perhaps he just wanted Jinxia to give birth to a mixed-race child.

All in all, Jinxia should be the one who was deceived the most in this matter.

City Lord Jia is really not a human being!

Si Xiu continued, "In addition to this, the special rules set by the city lord seem to be specifically designed to implement this matter."
