Quick-travel system: The host is having a blast in the small world

Although she was suspicious, she had no way to investigate further. It was getting dark, and the most urgent thing was to find a place to stay, otherwise wandering alone on the street at night would definitely attract other people's attention.

Lin Dai searched everywhere and asked around secretly, and finally found a place called... I don't know the four words! Yes, Lin Dai didn't know the words here. But she was sure that this was the place to stay for outsiders, and this inn was the only one in Youlan City.

After entering the store, Lin Dai booked a room smoothly. Fortunately, before leaving, Gusu Po gave her some blue beads used in transactions here.

Looking around at the furnishings in the room, Lin Dai thought she had come to the modern era. Although there were no high-tech products, all kinds of furniture were made and carved from various marbles. Perhaps only wealthy people would use them in modern times.

This made Lin Dai wonder, are these stones so common here and not surprising at all?

In addition, the room is dotted with colorful flowers, and the faint fragrance makes people relax and indulge in it involuntarily.

Lin Dai walked to the window and looked at the streets outside which were still bustling with activity. Everyone's face was filled with happy and satisfied smiles.

The lives of the people here are indeed full of tranquility and beauty. If you have not experienced the complexity and various entertainments of modern society, this is undoubtedly an ideal place to live.

Lin Dai looked into the distance, her eyes penetrating the rosy clouds, trying to capture the scenery farther away, thinking in her mind where to go to look for clues tomorrow.

Night fell quietly and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased. Lin Dai gazed at the night view outside the window again, and saw only tiny dots of light dotted in the darkness.

She turned around and her eyes fell on a lamppost in the room, on which were inlaid several glowing stones. This was the lighting tool they used. There was no rich nightlife, so they were accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early to greet the new day.

Perhaps infected by the quiet night, Lin Dai fell asleep early.

In the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Tan Tai Yu had also fallen asleep peacefully. Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed in the house, and as the light faded, a figure gradually emerged.

Tan Tai Yu suddenly woke up, stood up quickly, walked quickly to the person who came, nodded slightly, and said with a bit of respect and humility: "I don't know how the Guardian Immortal came to visit. I'm sorry for the rudeness! I don't know what instructions the Immortal has for you this time?"

The person who came was none other than the white-haired old man Lin Dai met during the day. His true identity was the spirit of the ten-thousand-year-old Bodhi tree, the guardian of the secret realm in the polar regions of the Netherworld.

He was completely different from how he was during the day. He slowly raised his eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world and looked at Tan Tai Yu. His voice was filled with an indescribable majesty and compassion: "Tan Tai Yu, how many years have you been the Lord of You Lan City?"

Tan Tai Yu suddenly became nervous at this moment. He didn't know what the immortal meant, so he quickly replied: "Replying to the immortal, Tan Tai Yu has been conscientiously guarding the Youjing Pole for more than 200 years since he took the position of city lord. He always remembers the teachings of the immortal and the old city lord, and dares not slack off in the slightest."

The old man nodded slightly and said in a calm and deep tone: "Back then, your ancestors were displaced and fled here. I rescued them and gave them this land to settle down. In the blink of an eye, more than two thousand years have passed."

Hearing this, Tan Taiyu was also filled with gratitude. Every new mayor of Youlan City would inherit the memory of their ancestors, and this inheritance was to make them deeply aware of the great responsibility on their shoulders.

Tan Tai Yu bowed his head respectfully, his tone full of sincerity: "The great kindness of the immortal, we will always remember it in our hearts. It is because of your protection and guidance that we can thrive in this mysterious and beautiful land and enjoy peace and tranquility. Otherwise, my Tan Tai clan would have disappeared from this world long ago.

He paused, and continued, "Please rest assured, Immortal, I, Tan Tai Yu, will definitely protect this mysterious polar region and ensure that the power of the secret realm will not be exploited by evil forces."

The old man heard this, a gleam of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and then he suddenly asked: "Has there been anything unusual in Youlan City recently, or have any strange people appeared?"

Tan Tai Yu quickly replied, "Reporting to the Immortal, everything is normal in Youlan City, and no suspicious events or people have been found."

The old man snorted softly, slowly stroked his gray beard, and ordered: "Tomorrow, you send people to secretly investigate various places, especially pay attention to the Lan Pavilion, to find out if there are any unidentified people."

Tan Tai Yu's heart tightened: Could it be that the immortal meant that there were dangerous people lurking in the city?

"Immortal, have you discovered anything unusual?" he asked quickly.

The old man pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "I am not sure whether this person is good or evil, but he is definitely not a simple person."

"What's the meaning of this statement?"

"As guardian spirits, no one can see our existence unless we voluntarily show up. However, the woman today was able to see us and touch us. So Tan Tai Yu, you must find out the identity of this woman, remember to act in secret, and don't disturb the people in the city."

Tan Taiyu couldn't help but frowned: "Immortal, will this person threaten the safety of the secret realm?"

The old man shook his head and said affirmatively: "No, I don't sense any evil aura from this woman. Besides, she doesn't have any spiritual power, so there won't be any danger for the time being."

"Yes, we shall obey the immortal's orders in everything." Tan Tai Yu responded respectfully.

The old man nodded slightly, and then his figure gradually disappeared into the air.

The next day, Lin Dai woke up refreshed, went to the window, stretched comfortably, looked at the city gradually waking up outside, and prepared to go out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Dai walked out of the room, she vaguely heard a series of noises coming from downstairs, as if the city guards were doing a routine inspection. She walked carefully to the stairs and quietly looked down to check the situation.

However, it wasn't long before the people downstairs became aware that someone was spying on them in the dark, and they looked upstairs with sharp eyes.

This startled Lin Dai, and she quickly shrank back, feeling very annoyed: Oh no, I've been discovered. I forgot that they are all cultivators and have very sharp senses.

Just as Lin Dai turned around and wanted to quietly return to her room, suddenly, someone blocked her way.

"stop!"

Accompanied by a loud and stern shout, the two guards who were originally downstairs had quietly come upstairs at some point and blocked Lin Dai in front of her with a menacing look.

Lin Dai looked up and saw two men in uniform guards looking at her seriously with sharp eyes.

Lin Dai blinked her eyes, with an innocent look in her eyes, and asked softly, "Two brothers, what can I do for you?"

One of the guards, named Fei Yang, asked in a serious tone, "Why are you hiding upstairs and spying?"

Lin Dai quickly waved her hands to explain, her face full of apology: "Brothers, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I woke up early in the morning and wanted to go out for a walk, but I happened to see you talking to the boss downstairs. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I wanted to wait upstairs for a while before going downstairs, but I didn't expect to disturb you two. I'm really sorry."

After hearing the explanation, the two guards looked at each other, the doubts on their faces had not completely disappeared.

Guard Feiyang then asked: "What's your name? Which village or town are you from?"

Lin Dai replied in a low voice: "I am Lin Dai, a villager from Wuyou Village."

After that, another guard named Jianxin took out a scroll of jade paper from his arms, slowly unfolded it, and asked, "Wuyoutun? Then please tell me which family you belong to, and whose name is recorded on the verification jade token to enter Youlan City?"

At this moment, the guard's question instantly made Lin Dai's heart rise to her throat: What should I do? If I mention Gusu Po, they will find out that there is no such person as me in this family, or even in the entire Wuyou Village. Not only will I be exposed, but I will also implicate Gusu Po. Oh, there are so few people in the Nether Realm, and the identity check is so strict! This is too easy to be exposed!

Seeing the embarrassed look on the woman's face and her eyes flickering, the two men immediately raised their guard and asked sternly again: "Miss Lin, please answer my question just now."

Lin Dai forced a smile, trying to ease the embarrassment: "Um... can you not answer? I can guarantee that I'm not a bad person."

"No!" The two men refused at the same time. "If you don't cooperate, we will have to take you back for questioning."

"Stop! I'll tell you." Lin Dai was anxious. In a hurry, she pointed behind the two people and shouted, "Look, a plane!"

Then, he turned around and tried to run away, but he didn't expect that after taking two steps, one of them grabbed him tightly by the back of the collar.

Before Lin Dai could struggle, she heard the two whispering to each other: "Take him back and report to the city lord that the suspicious person has been caught."

Lin Dai then realized that they had come to arrest her on purpose. Her heart sank: It was all over now.

The two men used their spiritual power to tightly bind Lin Dai and pushed her all the way to the City Lord's Mansion.

Lin Dai had a sad face and racked her brains to think of a way to escape, but she was just an ordinary person at the moment, how could she possibly escape? She prayed silently in her heart that someone would come and save her.

When they finally arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Dai stopped and stood there stubbornly, refusing to go in.

She knew very well that once she found out her identity in the underworld, she would either be killed or driven out of the Netherworld. More importantly, if she found out that someone was helping her, she would be too unworthy of Gusu Po's trust.

Feiyang and Jianxin saw that the woman was stubborn and refused to leave, so they thought about using brute force to take her in, but Lin Dai resisted stubbornly: "I won't go, even if you kill me."

Who would have thought that just as he finished speaking, the originally sunny morning was suddenly covered with dark clouds and thunder roared.

Several people looked up at the sky at the same time. Facing the sudden change, Lin Dai blurted out: "Eh? Will the sky change inside the barrier too?"

When Feiyang and Jianxin heard her words, the expressions on their faces instantly became solemn. They looked at each other, secretly surprised and wondering in their hearts: She actually knew the existence of the barrier!

Then he thought of what she had just said and realized that something had happened. Without thinking too much, Feiyang immediately said to Jianxin, "Quickly report to the city lord."

Before they finished speaking, before they could move, a blindingly loud lightning suddenly struck them. The two hurriedly dodged, and after the lightning passed, they saw that the woman named Lin Dai was perfectly struck, her whole body turned black, and a gust of wind blew away, turning her into dirty dust and dispersing, and her figure disappeared...

The two looked at the scene in front of them in shock, unable to recover for a long time.
