Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation, I became a role model of righteousness

Chapter 41: Moving into the City Lord's Mansion

"You, you are not planning to take us into the City Lord's Mansion, pretend to help us find the murderer, and then send us away to rescue people.

Even if the people in the City Lord's Mansion find out that Lei Jiaojiao is missing, we will help you divert the pursuers."

Jiang Li lowered his brows and thought for a moment, then expressed his guess.

"You! How did you know?!" The handsome brother was shocked!

He clearly didn't tell anyone, how could he be seen through so easily!
Was he really that obvious?

Jiang Li and the other two (smiling and nodding): Yes.

This guy wanted to take advantage of others, but he didn't have the brains to do so. People figured out most of what he was thinking after just a few words.

"You've explained it so clearly, how could you not guess it?" He really thought that the three of them had brains that were nothing but decorations.

The three of them rolled their eyes at the same time and let him experience it himself.

"Hey, Li Meinan, you're awesome!

What hatred or grudge do we have? You actually want to kill us!" Jiang Li slammed the table and shouted, suddenly starting to attack.

The sudden loud shout scared the handsome guy so much that he jumped up and almost fell on his butt.

"No, I didn't mean to hurt you!

I know that you are all members of the Wanfa Sect, so I dare to use this method!
No matter how powerful the Lei family is, they dare not arbitrarily deal with the disciples of the Wanfa Sect. I really don't want to harm you!"

The handsome man quickly complained for himself.

He is really not that bad. He would sacrifice someone else's life to save his friend.

He came up with this idea considering Jiang Li's identity.

Moreover, this idea came to him on the spur of the moment; he had never thought of this method before.

It was only after I heard the conversation between Jiang Li and the others and knew that they were also interested in the bounty offered by the City Lord's Mansion that I suddenly came up with this idea.

Zhang Ruonan stepped forward and kicked the guy, but not satisfied, so he kicked him a few more times, making him scream.

"Okay, stop kicking." Jiang Li saw that Zhang Ruonan had almost vented her anger, so she raised her hand to stop her.

"You're lucky, kid." After saying that, he snorted coldly and sat back.

"Ouch!" The handsome brother howled as he stood up from the ground reluctantly.

"I know I was wrong, I'm leaving now and won't bother you again.

I'm sorry, everyone. I'm sorry for you all." After clasping his fists and bowing, he limped away.

"Wait." Jiang Li stopped him.

"Don't you want to take us into the City Lord's Mansion? I agreed.

We search for our murderer, and you save your people.

As for whether you can rescue people, it depends on your own ability. "Jiang Li said slowly.

Zhang Ruonan looked at her in surprise, and the next second she understood the purpose of Jiang Li's behavior.

She really wanted to catch the murderer, so she was willing to do so even though she knew she was being used.

I really want to know what she did before she traveled through time. Isn’t her sense of justice a little too overwhelming?

"It's a deal!" Afraid that Jiang Li would go back on his word, the handsome brother turned around and agreed impatiently.

Entering the City Lord's Mansion was not as difficult as Jiang Li and the others had imagined.

Li Meinan led them in openly through the gate.

Jiang Li and Zhang Ruonan have already changed into the sect's disciple uniforms, and their identities are easily discernible from the clothes.

Although Meng Jue has not yet officially entered the sect, he does not have a disciple's uniform to wear.

But he was walking behind two sect disciples, and his appearance and demeanor were both extraordinary, so he would not be underestimated.

"Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a few months. You are still as charming and elegant as ever." Lei Tianqi laughed and came over to greet them.

"Brother Lei, long time no see." Li Meinan smiled heartily. The two began to flatter each other.

After praising each other for a few words, they greeted the elders of both sides.

Li Meinan's father went to explore the secret place and won't be back for a while.

On the Lei family's side, Lei Kuang was in seclusion, and Madam Lu was too busy with the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion to spare the time.

How could Li Meinan not understand that the other party just thought that he was a junior and was not worthy of being personally welcomed by her, the wife of the city lord.

Anyway, the purpose of his coming here was not to see Mrs. Lu, so he didn't care whether Mrs. Lu showed up or not.

"I wonder who these people are?" Lei Tianqi secretly looked at the three people following Li Meinan.

There was another person from the Wanfa Sect who was not wearing the sect disciple uniform, so his identity was unknown.

Could it be that these people coming here at this time have some plan?

Lei Tianqi is suspicious by nature, and it is such a sensitive moment, which makes his suspicion even worse.

"These three are my good friends, they are Daoist Fellow Jiang, Daoist Fellow Zhang, and Daoist Fellow Meng from the Wanfa Sect."

Li Meinan introduced the three people to Lei Tianqi one by one.

"Jiang Li from the Wanfa Sect, nice to meet Master Lei.

This is my junior fellow apprentice Meng Jue, he doesn’t like to talk much, please forgive me, Master Lei.”

Jiang Li saluted and introduced Meng Jue.

"I'm Zhang Ruonan from the Wanfa Sect, nice to meet you, Master Lei." Zhang Ruonan followed suit and saluted.

"So the three of you are fellow Taoists from the Wanfa Sect. Welcome, welcome." Lei Tianqi greeted the three people in return.

He led the four people into the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

On the way, Li Meinan explained to Lei Tianqi the purpose of their trip.

The four of them had already discussed it and decided to stay in the City Lord's Mansion on the pretext that the Thunder Emperor's treasure had appeared and all the inns in the city were full.

Knowing that they came for the Thunder Emperor's treasure, Lei Tianqi was not surprised.

After all, nine out of ten people who come to Thunder Emperor City at this time are here for Thunder Emperor's treasure.

Lei Tianqi was also very happy. He directly arranged for a few people to stay and personally took them to the guest house.

"I'll take you here. You four can choose any room you like.

Brother Li also has Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Zhang, and Fellow Daoist Meng.

The four of you should have a good rest. I will arrange a banquet tonight to welcome you all."

After sending the guests to Yingchun Tower where they were staying, Lei Tianqi did not stay long. He just said goodbye and left.

There was a maid in Yingchun Tower who was responsible for cleaning the yard. The maid took them to visit the rooms.

The four of them chose four adjacent rooms, and after the maid settled them down, she left.

When the welcoming banquet was held in the evening, Jiang Li and others finally met Lei Jiaojiao, the person whom Li Meinan risked his life to save.

Lei Jiaojiao was wearing a pink palace dress and a set of ruby ​​headpiece on her head, which made her look very noble.

She has beautiful features, a graceful figure and a faint smile on her face.

She is not absolutely beautiful, but she has a noble temperament and you can't tell at all that she is a concubine's daughter.

Those who don't know the truth might think that this is the legitimate daughter of a certain noble family.

It seems that Mrs. Lu, apart from cheating Lei Jiaojiao in her marriage, has never treated her unfairly in other aspects.

Li Meinan was very excited to see Lei Jiaojiao and had a lot to say to her.

But there were too many people here, and Lei Tianqi was also here, so it was impossible to have a good conversation.

Fortunately, Li Meinan was not stupid. She suppressed her thoughts and managed to hold on until the end of the banquet.
