Lu Yaoyao fell asleep in melancholy. When he got up early the next morning, Zhong Dong was sitting in the lobby of the inn.

Lu Yaoyao and his party were leaving today, and Zhong Dong came specially to see them off.

Zhong Dong cherishes the time he spends with his friends. He is just a mortal and may only stay in Luotian City for some years. If Lu Yaoyao no longer comes to Luotian City, they may not come to Luotian City again.

noodle.

They had breakfast together and said goodbye. Zhong Dong personally sent them off to the flying carriage. The pure white flying horses drove through the streets in the early morning, all the way to the city gate.

Lu Yaoyao was reluctant to leave. She looked up at Zhong Dong, who was sitting across from him, and invited: "Dong Bao, come to Gui Yuan Zong to play with me when you have time in the future!"

Zhong Dong was very moved, but thinking of his frighteningly ugly appearance, he lowered his eyes and said in despair, "No, I won't cause you any more trouble."

Zhong Dong is very self-aware of his appearance. Although he does not feel inferior, he can face the strange looks from others calmly. This is also a big deal in Luotian City. People in the city are used to it.

, but it’s okay to be outside and scare people.

Luotian City is the territory of the Zhong family, and no matter how hard others try, they would not dare to say anything in front of him. What's more, he is just a mortal, and outside the scope of Luotian City's influence, he has to work hard for the protection of others.

"You are not a trouble!" Lu Yaoyao shook his head and said seriously, "I am looking forward to you coming to my house as a guest. I want to introduce you to my father and master and tell them that I have made a good friend!"

Zhong Dong was elated after hearing this and wanted to nod his head immediately, but he had concerns, "I'll think about it."

Lu Yaoyao raised her hand, held his hand and shook it, "I look forward to your arrival!"

Zhong Dong couldn't help but reveal a twisted smile.

Lu Yaoyao couldn't help but laugh.

No matter how far the city gate is, it is still limited. The two Pegasus horses, which are not slow, soon arrived at the city gate. They chatted for a while and finally said goodbye to each other.

Zhong Dong once again watched the flying carriage carrying his friend far away, feeling disappointed in his heart.

Lu Yaoyao suddenly leaned out of the car window, waved to Zhong Dong, and shouted: "Remember to write me a reply, I'll wait for you!"

The feeling of disappointment disappeared immediately, and Zhong Dong waved his hand and responded enthusiastically, "I did it!"

“See you next time!”

"Again!"

Zhong Dong kept waving, his eyes were bright, and he watched the flying carriage fly for a certain distance, then fly into the air, and then disappear into the sea of ​​clouds.

The personal bodyguard Zhong Shishi who was following him all the time, his son kept looking at the horizon, and couldn't help but said: "If the young master can practice, he will definitely be no worse than Miss Lu and the others."

Zhong Dong didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes for a moment, then turned around and looked at the beast cart beside him.

Zhong Shishi: His young master was in a low mood, so he said: "I heard that the city lord found a strange medicine, which may allow the young master to shape his spiritual roots. When the young master can practice, he can go and experience it with Miss Lu."

"Young Master, don't be discouraged. The world of cultivation is huge and full of wonders. You will definitely be able to find something that allows the young master to practice. However, the world of cultivation cannot. There are also demons and monsters. The city lord will definitely be able to find a way..."

"The city lord reached Nascent Soul when he was three hundred years old. He is known as an unparalleled talent. If the young master can obtain spiritual roots and practice, he will definitely be better than his master..."

Zhong Dong remained silent, his subordinates' voices kept ringing in his ears, and he was thoughtful.

The beast cart stopped at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. Zhong Dong got out of the car and approached the City Lord's Mansion. Zhong Shishi quickly followed.

Zhong Dong walked for a while and suddenly stopped, "Shishi, how long have you been with me?"

Zhong Shishi was confused as to why the young master asked such a question, and said sincerely: "My subordinate has been with the young master since he was three years old, and it has been twenty years now."

"It's been twenty years..." Zhong Dong thought thoughtfully, "It's really wronging you to let you, a monk in the middle stage of inhabitation, work as a bodyguard next to a useless mortal like me."

Zhong Shishi's expression changed, and he knelt down heavily, "Young Master, what did I do wrong? I have been living abroad since my parents died. It was the Zhong family who brought me back to the Zhong Mansion and gave me a place in the Zhong Mansion.

‌The subordinate has some qualifications, and spares no effort to train the subordinate. Such a deep friendship cannot be repaid. Even if the subordinate has reached the level of Nascent Soul cultivation, the city lord and the young master are also the subordinates' loyal masters.

You have wronged your subordinates, isn't this a disgrace to them?"

"So you have inherited such kindness from the Zhong Mansion." Zhong Dong sighed leisurely, "It's a pity——"

"Master?" Zhong Shishi was very flustered. He didn't know what he had done wrong. "Master, for the sake of serving you, I will give you another chance and I will definitely change it! Master -

"

"You are right." Zhong Dong looked at Zhong Shishi who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy. At this moment, he was full of embarrassment, "It's just that we have different ways and we don't want to conspire against each other."

"Young Master—" Zhong Shishi still looked confused, not understanding why the young master said this.

Zhong Dong had no intention of giving an answer. He raised his hand slightly, and two secret guards with deep cultivation and strong aura appeared on both sides of Zhong Shishi.

"Take it down with you."

The secret guard bowed slightly to Zhong Dong, and then escorted Zhong Shishi from left to right and quickly disappeared. As for his whereabouts, no outsiders knew about him.

"My son!"

As the lord of a city, the Lord of Zhongcheng can quickly know everything going on in the mansion, not to mention that Zhong Dong doesn't want to hide it from him.

"Auntie." Zhong Dong called out and took the initiative to explain, "Zhong Shishi has been upset about the child not being able to practice since he was sensible. He often said something. At first, the child only thought that he cared about the child and didn't think much about it.

, but recently, I seem to be too impatient."

Since Zhong Shishi has been with Zhong Dong, he has given priority to Zhong Dong in everything, and there is no need to mention his loyalty. Otherwise, City Lord Zhong would not be so assured that he could take care of his only son. Every word he said, even if it came to

Just now, what others heard was that Zhong Shishi was very concerned about Zhong Dong, and only then did he worry about him.

Zhong Dong has been smart since he was a child, and he can always interpret other meanings from Zhong Shishi's unintentional words. It seems that in his eyes, his mother-in-law is omnipotent and can definitely help him shape his spiritual root cultivation, which makes Zhong Dong who has heard too much

He couldn't help but repay his hope, but as the years passed, it turned out that his mother-in-law simply couldn't do it. Zhong Dong kept hoping and being disappointed...

This kind of gap is very bearable for people. After all, the difference between cultivating and not cultivating is the difference between immortals and mortals. Mortals don't have a lifespan of a hundred years, how can they compare with cultivating a long-lasting avenue that lasts for thousands of years?

Whenever Zhong Dong complains in his heart, there will definitely be a crack in the relationship between mother and son. Once Zhong Dong distorts his character, he will do anything for the sake of cultivation.

And sometimes Zhong Shishi would also say, intentionally or unintentionally, that if the world of cultivation could not find a way, there would still be two realms of demons and demons, saying that there might be a way for Zhong Dong to practice in the two realms of demons and demons.

Some things cannot be pondered deeply. Once pondered deeply, the seeds of doubt will break out of the ground and continue to take root and sprout.

Zhong Dong is very calm. He is thinking about who is behind Zhong Shishi, who are the enemies of the Zhong family, and who will benefit if something happens to him... thinking about the information he will find out later.

However, there is no useful information. From the moment Zhong Shishi arrived at the Zhong family, he has never done anything to betray the Zhong family. He has always been loyal and loyal, and he has been even more loyal and dedicated since he came to his side.

The only thing that cannot be found is the experience before he was ten years old, that is, before he came to the Zhong family. However, Zhong Shishi was born in a mortal village and wandered around after the death of his parents. He does not have many memories of his childhood, and the specific location of the village is unknown.

You know, not to mention that after all those years, even the mortals who had an impression of Zhong Shishi have long since passed away.

His resume was clean, which made him wonder if he was overthinking it. Some of Zhong Shishi's words were straightforward, and it seemed that he was really thinking about him without thinking.

However, in recent days, it was difficult for him to ignore the traces of language. Maybe he didn't think much about it when he trusted him very much, but now that he has some doubts, it is even more obvious.

City Master Zhong understood the real situation from Zhong Dong's concise words. She was shocked and angry, "It's because you are too careless to let such a person with evil intentions lurk next to you." Then she was very happy, "Fortunately, my son's heart is so careless."

There is Linglong, and she has not been deceived by the villain, otherwise my mother-in-law would be..."

City Lord Zhong could not hold back her monstrous murderous intent. She was filled with hatred. Who acted like a villain and wanted to separate their mother and son? And she wanted her own son to fall into the path of a demon?

"Check! Let's find out clearly!"

"Don't be angry, Mom." Zhong Dong comforted, "Now we are well prepared. No matter how many plans the people behind the scenes have, there is nothing they can do."

In fact, until now, Zhong Dong has not found any trace of Zhong Shishi's collusion with outsiders. His move to have people take him down was undoubtedly an attempt to scare the snake away, but with Lu Yaoyao as his only friend, he made up his mind, regardless of whether there was evidence or not.

‌ Clear away the uncertain factors around him, because he doesn’t want people around him to expose ‌ the possibility of hurting his friends.

Zhong Dong thoroughly checked everyone around him. Even if he couldn't find any abnormalities, if there was a trace of the memories he recalled that made him feel inappropriate, he would clear them all. He would rather kill them by mistake than let them go.

If he had the strength, he might choose another method, but he is only a mortal and can only nip the threat in the cradle first.

"It seems that the entire Luotian City has been thoroughly cleaned up. Don't worry, my son, my mother-in-law will protect you."

Zhong Dong couldn't help but smile and responded: "I believe A Niang."

City Lord Zhong felt very sorry for Zhong Dong. She lowered her voice and said, "You seem to like the little girl from Zun's family very much. It just so happens that my mother-in-law has something to send to Guiyuan Sect. How about Dongbao help me make this trip?"

Zhong Dong's eyes lit up, "Is it okay?"

Lord Zhong's distorted face could not hide his excitement. She felt that she had made a mistake in trapping him in Luotian City in the past because she was worried about his accident. She said kindly, "Of course, you have grown up and it's time to go out."

‌‌, look at the world outside..."

"Thank you, grandma! I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Of course, Lu Yaoyao and his party, who had already left, didn't know about what happened in Luotian City.

Yanzi looked back at Lu Yaoyao who was feeling depressed again, and couldn't help but ask, "You and that boy Zhong Dong are no longer the same, how come you are the same as before?"

Lu Yaoyao clasped her little hands and said, "Senior brother, haven't you ever encountered a situation where you felt that this person was your destined soulmate with just one glance? As soon as I saw him, I felt close to him."

Yanzi replied: "I met ‌."

Lu Yaoyao blinked, "Did you become good friends later?"

"Not really."

Several pairs of curious eyes looked at him, "Why?"

Yanzi replied Youyou, "The girl he liked saw me, and then we fell out and stopped seeing each other."
