Traveling through the worlds, my husband comes here to smell the scent

Chapter 174: Damn it, the cannon fodder has become the group's favorite (50)

After recuperating in the City Lord's Mansion for a few days, Shen Youan has recovered almost completely and there is no sign of any problem with him.

At this time, a servant came to invite Chu Hanche and others over, saying that the city lord wanted to see them.

After Chu Hanche and the others responded, they followed the servant over.

In the hall.

Yao Xiao sat in the first seat, with Yu Jialian sitting next to him. Although he had been recuperating well in the past few days, Yu Jialian still looked very weak at this moment.

Yao Xiao looked at the six people coming and raised his hand to signal: "Everyone, please take a seat."

After they sat down, the servants brought up some hot tea and placed it on the small tables beside them, motioning them to drink.

The hall was extremely quiet, but Chu Hanche and the others did not speak. Since Yao Xiao asked them to come over, he must have something to say.

Several people could probably guess what he was going to say.

"I'm sorry everyone, I'm not a qualified city lord. As for my rebellious son who defected to the demon clan, he has been dealt with according to family law. I will pass the position of city lord to Cheng Zhi."

Yao Xiao looked at everyone with vicissitudes in his eyes and spoke slowly.

A man named Cheng Zhi was just called over by the servant. As soon as he entered the hall, he heard Yao Xiao's words. He was stunned for half a second, then slowly raised his head and said, "Uncle..."

Cheng Zhi is the child adopted by Yao Xiao.

"Another thing is, I have committed serious sins, and I am willing to give up my cultivation to atone for the sins I have committed. I hope you will spare my life."

Yao Xiao continued to speak. As for why he didn't end his life with a single blow, it was because of Yu Jialian. Yao Xiao was afraid that Yu Jialian would not be able to accept his own death.

Yu Jialian listened from the side and was surprised, but also expected it. Her eyes were red. Why did he have to do this... It was all her fault. Otherwise, why would Yao Xiao be willing to be threatened?

After Yao Xiao finished speaking, without waiting for the people below to speak, he slapped his own dantian.

"uncle……"

Cheng Zhi was shocked by Yao Xiao's actions and wanted to stop him but it was too late.

The next second, Chu Hanche suddenly intervened. His dark eyes, without any emotion, said:

"You feel guilty and want to run away and put an end to it. Now, apart from you, I'm afraid there is no one else in this city who has a higher cultivation level."

Lu Yuxuan listened, reacted and continued:

"Brother, what you said is true. If you truly feel guilty and want to make up for the mistakes you've made, you should swear to protect the people of the city from now on. If you waste your own cultivation, won't that give those with evil intentions an opportunity to take advantage of you?"

Yao Xiao was stunned, seemingly unable to react, or perhaps he hadn't thought about the future. He had also decided that after destroying his cultivation, he probably wouldn't live long. After all, he had many enemies. He just wanted to give Jialian some buffer time to make her less sad, and wanted to stay with her for a few more days.

Cheng Zhi is a good boy, smart and talented. He will treat Jialian as a family member and be filial to him, so he can rest assured.

"I……"

Yao Xiao was speechless. When this city was built, there weren't many people. Gradually, more and more people came here because the city was willing to accept ordinary people and they could get shelter here.

Yao Xiao suddenly felt sad and numb. So many years had passed, and he seemed to have forgotten his original intention.

When Yao Xiao was young, he saw too many homeless people and how they had to live in fear every day in addition to just having enough food and clothing. From that moment on, Yao Xiao swore that one day, when he had the ability, he would protect these ordinary people from being bullied.

Later, by accident, he really became the lord of a city. Yao Xiao did a very good job and was indeed loved by the people in the city.

It is precisely because of this that Yao Xiao feels guilty towards those people and wants to escape.

But he forgot that if the news of his cultivation being ruined spread, many people would rush over to share the cake.

Cheng Zhi is only in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm and cannot protect those people.

Yao Xiao frowned, his eyes reddened, and he said to everyone with a guilty conscience: "It's my fault for not considering it carefully. Thank you all for giving me a way out."

Wen Yunli shook his fan, looked at the ashamed Yao Xiao, frowned, and said nothing.

Although Yao Xiao is guilty, he really cannot die. Once he dies, no one will protect these ordinary people. You know, in other cities, it is difficult for ordinary people to make a living. In unknown places, there is exploitation everywhere, and those with cultivation and those without cultivation are not treated the same at all.

After all, in this world, there are very few people who cannot practice cultivation, and no one cares about the lives of ordinary people. Those who are capable and black-hearted will only think of suppressing them with force and making them work like slaves.

"You don't have to thank us. If you want to thank someone, thank the people in the city. We've actually spread the news these past few days, but to our surprise, the people in the city chose to forgive you. What's even funnier is that some people are trying to excuse you, saying that the people who disappeared were all men who abused women and committed domestic violence."

As Shen Youan spoke, he took out a large stack of letter paper from his spirit ring and presented it to Yao Xiao using his spiritual power. The paper was densely covered with words describing the good things Yao Xiao had done. He hoped that the people of their Xuanhan Sect would show mercy.

Furthermore, they knew Yu Jialian and understood the relationship between Yu Jialian and their city lord. They were willing to forgive Yao Xiao as if they were under a spell.

Yao Xiao took the letters and read the contents. At his age, he burst into tears. How could he deserve to be treated like this by them?

"Forget it, no need to say more. If the City Lord feels guilty, then do better. I hope this kind of thing will not happen again, otherwise we will not show mercy."

Wen Yunli said with a faint smile.

"Yao understands"

Yao Xiao nodded. Sheltering the demons should have been a capital crime, but he never expected that he would be able to save his life.

The matter ended here. If the Xuanhan Sect insisted on killing Yao Xiao, they would become sinners in the eyes of the people in the city. To put it simply, they would not interfere in other people's city affairs this time.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Chu Hanche and his companions felt a lot lighter.

At this time, Xu Mu and Yu Lin also came forward and said goodbye to them.

"Where are you going?"

Lu Yuxuan looked at the two of them and asked, after spending the past few days together, they had developed some feelings for each other.

Yu Lin looked at Xu Mu beside him and suddenly felt confused. Where could they go?

Yu Feng was captured that day and locked up. After the matter was over, without taking time to rest, he immediately searched for the belongings of Yu Lin's mother, selected a good place, and erected a monument for her.

After doing all this, Yu Lin and Xu Mu grabbed Yu Feng and brought him to the grave, asking him to kneel down and apologize to Yu Lin's mother. While admitting his mistake, Yu Feng also begged the two to let him go.

But how could he let him go? Finally, in front of the grave, he made a few deliberate moves to avoid the fatal spots. Looking at his dying appearance, Yu Lin suddenly reflected that he was not a good person by doing this.

Yu Lin found it funny again when he thought of this. What was the point of being a good person in front of the murderer of his mother? In the end, Yu Feng was tortured to death and his body was thrown far away to be eaten by wild dogs.

Seeing that the two of them didn't answer, Lu Yuxuan thought that they had nowhere to go, so he said, "Why don't you come over next time when our sect is recruiting people? You will definitely be able to pass, and I can also say a few good words for you."

"Thank you very much"

Xu Mu finally came back to his senses from his deep thoughts, thanked him, and then said:

"Yu Lin and I are planning to go back to where I was born. We'll see what happens in the future. See you later."

Yu Lin nodded to Lu Yuxuan and the others and said, "Goodbye."

Chu Hanche and the others nodded, then walked out of the city gate and said goodbye.

When Xu Mu and Yu Lin left, they could still hear Lu Yuxuan, the idiot, shouting loudly: "See you again if we're lucky."
