170: Help me get out of town

Facing the City Lord's questioning, Wei Xun smiled awkwardly, "This is a trade secret, it cannot be easily revealed to others!"

"Nonsense!" City Lord Wang snorted coldly and asked, "What is your origin? What is your name? You'd better explain clearly!"

"Listen carefully, I am a Disciple of Old Ancestor Bodhi from Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, named Sun Wukong!" Faced with the questioning, Wei Xun could only answer casually.

"Hmm?" Hearing Wei Xun's reply, City Lord Wang frowned, "What kind of place is that? Why have I never heard of it?"

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, City Lord! Our Immortal Sect is a hidden Immortal Sect." Wei Xun chuckled and continued, "This Lingtao of mine isn't from the Black Abyss Mountain Range; it's the fruit of a Lingtao Tree on the back mountain of our Immortal Sect!"

Receiving this answer, City Lord Wang looked at Wei Xun suspiciously, trying to find any sign of him lying.

But Wei Xun was not flustered at all. If he was exposed, he would just run. Even if this City Lord's Realm was higher than his, it wouldn't be a big problem.

"Since that's the case!" City Lord Wang found no issues, so he smiled and said to Wei Xun, "Then, Mr. Sun, you've come a long way to bring Lingtao to my unfilial son. I apologize for not welcoming you. Do you have time to attend my birthday banquet a few days from now?"

"May I ask, City Lord Wang, how old are you this year?" Wei Xun asked curiously.

"Exactly two hundred years old this year!" City Lord Wang smiled slightly.

"Two hundred years old?" Hearing this answer, Wei Xun was slightly stunned.

This old fellow is over two hundred years old and actually has a twenty-something-year-old son.

However, on second thought, there was nothing wrong with it. After all, this City Lord Wang was already in the Void Core Realm, and it would be difficult to reach this Realm without years of Cultivation.

His own rapid Cultivation was entirely due to the ten-thousand-year immortal ginseng he obtained; otherwise, he would probably still be just a Spirit Beast or Yao Beast now.

"City Lord's birthday, I should have attended!" Wei Xun shook his head, "However, my Revered Master is urging me to return quickly, so I'm afraid I'll have to leave tomorrow!"

Receiving this answer, City Lord Wang looked regretful, "That's truly a pity. Then how about I host a banquet for Mr. Sun tonight?"

"Forget it! I've already had dinner today!" Wei Xun didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he refused, "I'll just say a few more words to your son privately, then I'll be ready to leave."

Seeing Wei Xun refuse again, City Lord Wang couldn't say anything else, so he just nodded.

"Since that's the case, then let my unfilial son entertain you, sir!" City Lord Wang smiled and cupped his fists, "I was momentarily angry just now, and I hope you'll forgive any offense, sir!"

"It's nothing, nothing!" Wei Xun nodded.

Then City Lord Wang told Wang Tianchi to get up and had the Black Armored Guards clear the way.

Immediately after, he had Wang Tianchi take Wei Xun back to the Young Master's residence.

Seeing Wei Xun and Wang Tianchi walk away, a Black Armored Guard beside City Lord Wang suddenly spoke up, "City Lord, that kid might be trouble!"

"Send someone to keep an eye on him!" City Lord Wang said, "See what his true origins are!"

"Your subordinate obeys!" The Black Armored Guard nodded and cupped his fists.

After returning to the Young Master's residence with Wang Tianchi, Wang Tianchi finally let out a long breath, "That was close, I almost got punished by my father!"

"Your father is two hundred years old, why do you only have one son?" Wei Xun asked curiously.

"My father said that when he was young, he was engrossed in Cultivation, so he never considered such things!" Wang Tianchi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "It was only before I was born that my father met my mother, and then I was born!"

"What about your mother?" Wei Xun asked again.

"She died in childbirth when she gave birth to me!" Wang Tianchi sighed, "So my father never remarried, and that's why I'm his only son!"

"I see!" Although Wei Xun felt strange after hearing this explanation, it was, after all, someone else's family matter, so he didn't continue to ask.

"Give me the letter quickly!" Wang Tianchi came back to his senses and reached out for it.

Wei Xun had no choice but to take out the letter and place it in Wang Tianchi's hand.

After getting the letter, Wang Tianchi immediately opened it, his gaze sweeping across the letter repeatedly.

But after finishing the letter, Wang Tianchi started to laugh.

"Miss Yan'er is really sensible!" Wang Tianchi laughed, "To avoid implicating me, she actually said her beauty was fake, and that she was actually an ugly monster!"

At this point, Wang Tianchi looked at Wei Xun with a smile and said, "Since you got the reply, you must have seen Miss Yan'er, right? She's so beautiful, how could it be fake!"

Seeing Wang Tianchi's reaction, Wei Xun felt a little awkward about exposing the truth.

"Miss Yan'er is truly different from other women!" Wang Tianchi held the letter, his face intoxicated, "Other women would do anything to become my wife, but only Miss Yan'er worries about me, and for my sake, she's willing to lie and say she's an ugly monster, just to consider me!"

Wang Tianchi became more and more excited as he spoke, his face beaming with an excited expression.

"I really want to see Miss Yan'er!"

"Actually, I still want to say..." Wei Xun hesitated for a moment but decided to tell the truth.

"Yes, yes!" Wang Tianchi finally came back to his senses, "Didn't you say there was another piece of news I'd find hard to accept? Tell me quickly, I think I can accept it!"

Seeing Wang Tianchi so confident, Wei Xun could only truthfully recount what happened after he met Miss Yan'er.

Hearing this news, Wang Tianchi looked disbelieving, "You're lying to me too, I don't believe any of this. Miss Yan'er must be afraid of implicating me, so she sent you to lie to me!"

"You're overthinking it!" Wei Xun shook his head and said, "I don't have that much free time to help her lie to you. Every word I say is true, whether you believe it or not, I've already done what I needed to do. If there's nothing else, I'm ready to leave."

"Impossible!" Wang Tianchi still couldn't accept the news, "I met Miss Yan'er every day during that time. If it was fake, how could I not have noticed?"

"People who are usually immersed in love aren't very sharp-minded!" Wei Xun retorted directly, "And you're not smart to begin with, so it's normal not to notice!"

"Nonsense!" Wang Tianchi shook his head vigorously, "Unless I see it with my own eyes, I will never believe it!"

"Then go see for yourself when you can get out!" Wei Xun turned to leave, "My business is done, I'm ready to go now."

"Wait a moment!" Wang Tianchi immediately called out to Wei Xun from behind, "Help me get out of Wangcheng to see Miss Yan'er, and I'll give you another treasure!"

Hearing there was a treasure, Wei Xun slowly turned around, "Helping you out of the city is a bit dangerous. After all, your City Lord father's Cultivation is extraordinary, and if he gets angry, it might implicate me."

"Two treasures!" Wang Tianchi said, taking out two items from his ring.

"Flying Sword"

"Puppet Iron Man"

Looking at the two items in Wang Tianchi's hand, Wei Xun frowned slightly.

Wang Tianchi held a toy sword only a finger's length in his left hand and a palm-sized toy Puppet in his right hand.

They didn't look like treasures at all.
