The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Duan Tianyang blinked, his eyes fell on Su Wen's headless body on the ground. He pointed at the body and said, "Apart from Lord Zhang, who else would dare to kill Su Wen in the City Lord's Mansion? Everyone here saw it with their own eyes."

Zhang Cai's eyes widened instantly. He pointed at himself tremblingly, his voice shrill and stuttering: "You...you said that I killed Su Wen? This...this is simply ridiculous!"

His mind was in a mess and he had no impression of all this.

Duan Tianyang looked around and his eyes fell on Xiao Fang and others. He saw that they were all looking at Zhang Cai with surprisingly consistent expressions.

It seemed as if it was written on their faces: This Lord City Lord must be crazy!

Duan Tianyang showed a bitter smile on his face: "It seems that Lord Zhang is really drunk and can't even remember what he did. If you don't believe me, you should at least believe these servants in the City Lord's Mansion, right? You can ask them what happened just now."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cai subconsciously turned his gaze to the servants around him.

The servants nodded one after another, agreeing with Duan Tianyang's words.

An older servant said in a trembling voice: "Master, you just let Master Su and Master Guan appreciate the sword, and suddenly, Master...Master killed Master Su..."

"What?" Zhang Cai was shocked. He looked around and found that the other servants were also nodding, confirming that what the servant said was true.

He stood there in a daze, as stiff as a log. After a long while, he sat back in his chair like a deflated ball, staggering with empty eyes, muttering to himself, "How could this happen..."

He had no recollection of what he had been through.

He only remembered sitting in the room and then suddenly lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he saw Duan Tianyang beside him. After coming out of the mansion hall, he saw this scene in front of him.

This matter is really unbelievable. How could I kill Su Wen? What should I do now?

In just a moment, Zhang Cai broke out in a cold sweat and trembled all over while sitting on the chair.

Seeing this, Duan Tianyang shook his head and said slowly: "Master Zhang, please rest assured. My brothers and I will keep our mouths shut about what happened tonight. You just need to make sure the servants in the City Lord's Mansion remain silent as well. No one will know that Su Wen was killed by you, Master. Everyone will think that he died at the hands of a foreign assassin. Right?" He turned his head and looked at Xiao Fang and others.

Xiao Fang and the other two nodded and said firmly: "That's right! Su Wen was killed by an assassin!"

Duan Tianyang looked around at the servants again and asked, "Who killed Su Wen?"

Those servants had witnessed with their own eyes how Guan Hu and his two companions annihilated all of Su Wen's men. They were already terrified and dared not raise any objections at this moment.

They all nodded and said in unison: "Su Wen was killed by the Fanren assassin!"

"Hey! Lord Zhang, did you hear that? Su Wen did not die at your hands, but was killed by the barbarians. So, you don't need to worry too much about it. But..." Duan Tianyang paused.

Every word he said seemed to carry a tremendous force, making Zhang Cai's mood instantly tense and sweat dripping like beads from a broken string.

He asked eagerly: "But what?"

Duan Tianyang raised the corner of his mouth and continued: "Since we have helped Lord Zhang, shouldn't Lord Zhang also help us?"

Zhang Cai was stunned after hearing this, and asked tentatively: "What does Lord Duan mean..."

"Su Wen is no longer alive, and the position of chief of the city guard of Xiguan City is still undecided. Lord Zhang, who do you think is most suitable for this position?" Duan Tianyang's voice was soft and magnetic, as if he was telling an insignificant story.

But his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, which made Zhang Cai shiver.

He immediately replied: "Of course it has to be Lord Duan!"

That’s what I’ve been waiting for!

Everything was going according to his plan. It was simply too perfect! Duan Tianyang was secretly proud of himself.

He gently placed his hands behind his back, a calm and confident smile appeared on his face, and he slowly said, "It's rare that Lord Zhang thinks so highly of me. From now on, as long as I, Duan Tianyang, am still in this city, it won't be difficult for you to hold the position of the Lord of Xiguan City and continue to govern for another ten or twenty years."

Who among those who can ascend to the position of city lord is not a shrewd person?

After listening to this, Zhang Cai immediately understood the meaning of Duan Tianyang's words.

After Duan Tianyang took over the position of city guard chief, as long as he continued to adopt a nonchalant attitude, he would still be the lord of Xiguan City and could still maintain his current standard of living.

So he quickly stood up, bowed and expressed his gratitude: "From now on, all the affairs of Xiguan City will be entrusted to you, Lord Duan. With a pillar of talent like you in charge of Xiguan City, I, the city lord, can rest assured and rest assured."

Duan Tianyang sighed secretly: "What a smart guy!"

He cupped his hands, with a gentle smile on his face, and responded, "Master Zhang, you are really too kind."

Zhang Cai straightened his expression and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow I will send a document to Xihui City, requesting them to order the promotion of Lord Duan to the chief of the city guard of Xiguan City."

Xihui City is one of the twelve famous main cities in the Divine Realm, and Xiguan City is just a subsidiary city under it.

Duan Tianyang straightened his body and said loudly: "Master Zhang, please don't promote me to the position of the city guard chief of Xiguan City. You can consider nominating my brother, Guan Hu!"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked. No matter whether it was Xiao Fang, Guan Hu or Xiao Hong, they didn't understand why Ming Ge, who was obviously capable of being the city guard chief, gave the position to Guan Hu.

Guan Hu said hurriedly: "Brother Tian, ​​I'm afraid I don't have the ability to be the chief of the city guard..."

Duan Tianyang quickly raised his hand and interrupted him.

He turned to Zhang Cai and said calmly, "Master Zhang, I look forward to the good news you will bring. As for the bodies of Su Wen and others, we will deal with them properly."

Zhang Cai responded quickly, with sweat dripping down his face: "Yes, yes, yes, everything will be done according to what Lord Duan said."

Duan Tianyang helped him cover up the murder of Su Wen, so that he could still sit firmly on the position of city lord.

However, this also put him under Duan Tianyang's control, and from then on he could only obey his orders and did not dare to resist at all.

"I'm leaving!" Duan Tianyang bowed and smiled to Zhang Cai, then waved to Xiao Fang and the others and said, "Pack up all the bodies and take them away!"

They walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and came outside.

Guan Hu asked in confusion: "Brother Tian, ​​what should we do with these bodies?"

"Don't worry, we still have to go to the City Guard House."
