As he said this, he actually bowed to me. The “Master” he called me made me confused: “Sir, why are you here?”

He smiled and said:

"I have a spiritual stone here that can detect your cultivation level. As long as you get within three meters of me, I will sense it."

I took the jade pendant in my hand without hesitation, and indeed felt something strange.

Then, I took out another piece of green jade and placed it side by side with the jade. They were like a pair of twins, one white, the other green, round and perfectly blended together. It looked very magical.

The jade was a gift from Bai Yu. It was small and exquisite, and paired with the jadeite, it complemented each other very well. "Who is the immortal you are talking about if not my deceased grandfather?"

Many years later, when he heard others talk about his grandfather, he was still very moved.

The excitement cannot be described in words.

I quickly asked him if the god had left any message.

The city lord graciously made a "please" gesture and said, "This matter is hard to explain in a few words. I wonder if you would be so kind as to come into my humble abode and have a chat over a glass of wine. What do you think?"

I immediately said, "Okay!"

I looked at the jade pendant for a while, and returned it to him reluctantly. Unexpectedly, he said straightforwardly: "This thing is not mine. I just put it away temporarily. Now that someone has given it to you, it is also your good fortune."

Since you are so generous, I will not be polite. I have a hunch that these jade pendants are definitely not ordinary jade pendants. There must be a mystery in them. What I have to do now is to collect all the jade and uncover its mystery.

The city lord worked so hard to organize such a grand sacrifice, but a "god" like me intercepted him halfway, and the ceremony was stopped.

Everyone left disappointed, and I followed the lord on my journey with mixed feelings.

After walking for about half an hour, we saw a huge manor with more than a dozen houses. There was a small hill in the yard and a garden inside. It was obvious that the owner here was very rich, richer than the people in the nearby villages.

When she saw me, she came closer with great interest.

"Hey, where are you from? What's your name?"

Her eyes were innocent, without any hostility, and her sudden question made people feel very comfortable.

Just as I was about to speak, I heard the city lord's face darken and he scolded, "How dare you! Even I have to call him sir, how can you be so reckless?"

The girl blushed when she heard this, and quickly bowed and said, "Father is teaching me that it is Jinlan who does not know the rules. I apologize to you!"

This girl was so honest. She bowed and apologized at the same time.

I couldn't help but laugh. It was really interesting to see the father and son singing the same tune. The city lord must be sincere to me, as he was able to introduce his relatives to a stranger.

I don't have any ambitions. As long as I'm not being plotted against or stabbed in the back by others, I'll be content.

Most people in the mountain city are poor. The owners of this city live in more spacious places and are no different from ordinary people in the village.

Ah, yes, he did have two wives. The first wife was plain-looking, plain-looking, and it was said that the two had been engaged for a long time, and she was also good-looking.

The second wife was different. She was beautiful and her clothes did not look like those of a village girl. Instead, she looked more like an outsider.

Being able to have multiple wives is really something that people envy. It is already a gift from God that I can find a wife.

Just as I was thinking about it, the city lord suddenly said, "What are you talking about?"

He had a satisfied smile on his face: "This is what you think. Although, this jade pendant is our engagement."

"Puff—" I choked on my tea. I opened my eyes wide and said in disbelief, "What are you talking about? I have never thought about getting married."

I have been abandoned by Li Xue, but I still care about her very much, so I am not mentally prepared to accept anyone else into my life.

The city lord wiped the tea off his face without changing his expression, still smiling, and said slowly: "This is the choice of the gods. You are called pure yin and this girl is called yang. You are a perfect match, a perfect match. If you don't come, will you..."

My grandfather must have calculated this, which is why he arranged a marriage for me before I was even born.

Miss Tu can help me, and the city lord’s daughter can help me. He is involved in both marriages.

He had thought of everything except love. Marriage is not a business, you can't get married just because you want to.

"Sorry, I can't agree to this matter. Just accept it!" I quickly returned the jade pendant to him, fearing that I would be entangled in this matter.

I am not very interested in this proposal. Anyway, I am not here to fight for the position of lord, but to heal my soul.

I really don't want to have anything to do with marriage, for fear that my wounds have not healed yet and new scars will be left. I don't want to let such a beautiful girl get hurt.

"sorry.

Before I could finish my words, I suddenly felt dizzy. I collapsed on the table and then I knew nothing.

There was a hint of pride on his face.

"It's not easy to be a member of the Jin family. You are still too young, outsider."

"Jin Lan, get out here!"

Jin Lan, who was looking out the door, heard the shout and rushed to the city lord as if a switch had been turned on.

"Dad..." Duan Lingtian muttered as he looked at the scene in front of him.

"Tell me, daughter, do you like this young man?"

Jinlan rarely showed shyness, she hesitated and didn't know what to say.

Seeing her hesitant look, the city lord knew what she was thinking and didn't want to waste any more time talking to her.

"You heard it too. This outsider has no affection for you and has rejected you repeatedly. Daughter, you should think about it carefully. If you marry someone like this, you will probably suffer a lot in the future."

Jinlan pouted her lips, as if she had made a decision, and said firmly:

Jinlan said disapprovingly: "What is there to worry about? How did you get such a beautiful aunt back then? This time, you have to get that man just like me."

The aunt they were talking about was the most beautiful woman in this city. Although she was old, she had an elegant and graceful temperament.

Even Jinlan herself could be considered a rare beauty, but she lacked the kind of charming charm that could make people's hearts flutter. This was also the reason why the master of this city doted on this concubine and never married another woman.

With his ability, wouldn't it be easy for him to have three wives and four concubines? But when he heard what his eldest daughter said, he shook his head and said that this book could not be reproduced.

At the beginning, the immortal gave him a magic potion, which made his aunt fall deeply in love with him, and so did he. For more than 20 years, she has always been in his heart.

Now that the immortal is gone, where can he find the elixir that Jinlan needs?

However, he had another way. The mountain temple in their mountain city had always been very effective. If you were willing to spend some money, it would be easy to find a good marriage, but it would be a little troublesome. But ordinary people would not do this because the cost was too high.

But who is this city lord? It would be ridiculous if he couldn't deal with the boss of this mountain city.

"Daughter, you should think about it carefully. I have many good ideas!" He waved to his eldest son Jinge and said, "Jinge, go and arrange the staff. Tonight, we will take your brother-in-law and go into the mountains overnight to do something earth-shattering!"

Jinger grinned, wickedly but confidently: "Dad, don't worry, I will fulfill your sister's wish."

The people in the City Lord's Mansion began to get busy, wrapping each item in red paper and putting them in two large baskets. They looked very busy.

Well, come to think of it, God probably saw how that family lived, so there was such an unexpected turn.

How could a woman as beautiful as Jinlan not have someone who admires her?

Not too close to her home, there is actually a single man who secretly watches her every day. He probably has feelings for Jin Lan.

Although he knew there was no hope, he was still bored and came here every night. He would not leave until the city lord's house was burned to ashes.

That night, he went to his ambush site as usual, and saw that the City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit, with people coming and going, and it was very lively.

Soon, Jinlan and his son left.

A man was carried on Jin Ge's shoulders, and Jin Lan carefully protected the man.

The infatuated man had a bad feeling in his heart, so he said nothing more and followed closely.

The mountain path was winding and twists and turns, and soon the two stopped.

Ginger looked into the dark forest and said timidly:

"Father, he came at the right time. I just came of age. That god really had a plan for everything."

The city lord was quite pleased:

"Yes, our Jin family is what it is today thanks to this immortal."

Otherwise, with his previous abilities, it would have been impossible for him to reach his current position, let alone become a family.

He has lived for so many years and has been very content. Even if he leaves this world now, his life will not be in vain.

Who knew that there were quite a few people in the corner who heard what he said.

When he heard this, he became angry. This was equivalent to taking away the most important thing to him, and no one in the Jin family could escape.

Since you have evil intentions, what are you waiting for? Tonight, you must kick this obstacle away and take the beauty home.

His expression turned grim. If I were a rational person, I would have noticed that there was something wrong with him.
