When Ling Xiao heard this, a calm sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. That smile contained both a clear understanding of reality and absolute confidence in his own abilities.

"Haha, if that's the case, it doesn't matter. It's just one more name on the list. Ever since I entered the path of spiritual practice, enemies have been following me everywhere. I've long been used to it.

Having one more enemy and one less friend doesn't make much difference to me. What's more, I didn't take the woman's life, which in itself is a form of tolerance and a right to give them the choice of Sitong Trading Company."

He paused, his eyes shining with an unmistakable light.

"My senior Demon Soul King, you don't need to worry too much. Although there are many powerful people in this Demon-Suppressing Mansion, the strongest people are only in the Tianhe realm.

And although I dare not say that I am invincible, in this land, I can at least guarantee that I will not be bullied. I have my pride and my bottom line. Anyone who tries to trample on it will have to pay the price."

Ling Xiao's words revealed an inviolable majesty, which was a kind of tenacity and confidence that had been tempered by wind and rain.

He knows very well that a truly strong person is not one who never faces challenges, but one who can still stick to himself and move forward courageously when faced with challenges.

And he is such a strong man. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, he will face every unknown tomorrow with a fearless attitude.

"What should I do with the Fu Zun Mansion?" Demon Soul King's voice sounded in Ling Xiao's mind again, with a bit of solemnity in his tone.

"This is the Demon-Suppressing City, with strict rules and order. Although your actions today, killing people and seizing treasures, were justified, they violated the taboos here after all. As the authoritative entity that maintains peace in the city, they will not turn a blind eye.

It’s even more impossible to sit idly by and ignore it.”

When Ling Xiao heard this, a disdainful smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes shone with determination and confidence.

"What are you afraid of? The truth is on our side. It was Sitong Trading Company who made the first move. If they really dare to confuse right and wrong and not be reasonable, then they have given me a legitimate reason. What's more, my good brother is the Lord of the Palace.

The young lord of the mansion, they have to weigh this relationship carefully. Can it really make me suffer?"

Speaking of this, Ling Xiao's tone became more arrogant, which was confidence in his own strength and trust in the support behind him. He knew very well that in this world where the strong are respected, sometimes background and relationship

Equally important.

The Demon Soul King sighed softly in the Demon Needle Space, seeming to feel both helpless and pleased with Ling Xiao's behavior.

"I forgot about this... You kid can always find support at critical moments. However, don't rely too much on these external forces. Your own strength is the foundation.

In short, no matter what, you have to remember that I only have nine chances to take action. This is the limit. You should try to revive the Demon King first. His power will be a huge help to you. In this way, you

It can also be safer in this Demon-Suppressing City."

"Yes, I know." Ling Xiao nodded slightly, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, but then his steps seemed to be pulled by some invisible force and he paused involuntarily. There was a subtle sense of tension in the air. , as if it indicates something extraordinary is about to happen.

Ahead, a figure quietly appeared, like two different landscapes intersecting in this street.

A man and a woman, with different postures, but together they constitute a presence that cannot be ignored. The woman is naturally familiar to Ling Xiao, she is the former female shopkeeper of Sitong Trading Company who was famous for her tenacity.

At this moment, although her hands were wrapped with white bandages, covering up the traces of blood, the afterimage of the broken arm still cast a faint layer of sadness and unyieldingness on her beauty. In her eyes, there was both concern and The helplessness of the past, but also the determination for the future.

The man standing side by side with her has a completely different appearance. He is old, with white hair as white as snow, and a beard that is one foot long. It blows gently in the wind, revealing a calmness and majesty accumulated over the years. .

His eyes are deep, as if he can see into people's hearts, yet they are somewhat gentle, making it hard to resist his charm.

"Come to take revenge?" Ling Xiao raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes moved between the two of them, and finally settled on the old man's face. There was a guess at the old man's intentions in that smile, but also a trace of confidence in his own strength.

Hearing this, the old man shook his head slightly, with a wry smile on his face.

"Why is Shaoxia Ling ridiculing me like this? With my strength, how can I possibly kill someone like Shaoxia?"

His voice was gentle and powerful, revealing a calmness and self-awareness that had gone through many hardships.

"I am Qian Xuejin, the big shopkeeper of Sitong Trading Company in Zhenmofu City, who manages sixty branches in Zhenmofu City. This is my daughter Qian Yingying. She is not here for personal grudges, but specifically to express her apology to the young hero. .”

Qian Xuejin's words were full of sincerity. His words were not only explaining his purpose, but also bringing an end to the previous conflict.

"Apologise?" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that this seemingly majestic old man would express his apology so directly. This knowledge and open-mindedness made him admire him. One glance.

"Haha, shopkeeper Qian is so polite." Ling Xiao chuckled, and the wariness in his heart dissipated a bit.

He looked up at a tavern not far away. The simple signboard glowed warmly under the setting sun, as if inviting passers-by.

"In that case, how about we go sit in the tavern and talk about this misunderstanding while sipping some wine?" He said as he made a gesture of invitation, his movements free and natural.

"Please!" Qian Xuejin responded with a polite gesture, and the three of them immediately walked into the tavern.

In the tavern, warm yellow lights fill every corner, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.

They were led to an elegant private room. Outside the window was the bustling street, and inside the window was the conversation the three of them were about to have, an exchange about reconciliation and understanding.

"We, Sitong Trading Company, have no intention of becoming an enemy of Shaoxia. The previous attack on Shaoxia Ling was entirely the personal intention of the old man's worthless daughter and has nothing to do with our Sitong Trading Company."

Qian Xuejin hugged his fists and said, his tone revealing a bit of sincerity and helplessness, his eyes flashing with deep reflection on past events and some reproach for his daughter's behavior.

Every detail of his movements seemed so solemn, as if he was expressing his apology and respect for Ling Xiao in this way.

When Ling Xiao heard this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes shone with tolerance and understanding. He said softly: "So, this matter is just a misunderstanding."
