After hearing Lu Botao's words, Xia Sheng was stunned for a moment.

Because things finally started to become interesting.

Kang Wuwei said before that Xia Sheng chose to enter the city lord's mansion as a dangerous move.

But who would have thought that the other party’s strategy to break the situation was even more dangerous and ruthless than his move!

There was no choice between the two paths that Xia Sheng had set up.

He neither forced himself to break into the city lord's mansion nor left Jinling City.

Instead, he came to the gate of the city lord's mansion in the name of surrendering himself.

Now, it's Xia Sheng's turn to make the choice.

Since the other party has come to the door, will he meet or disappear?

Should I run away or not?

Before making the decision, Xia Sheng asked Lu Botao a very important question: "Did the visitor mention his identity?"

Lu Botao shook his head: "No, but as the adult said, the other party is an old man. "No > Wrong" the old man brought a little girl."

Xia Sheng's brows frowned again.

Because Lu Botao's answer surprised him a little.

"Bring him to see me."

When Lu Botao heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Xia Xuying did not order him to kill the thief on the spot. Otherwise, regardless of whether the little force in the city lord's mansion was the old man's opponent, more importantly, if he inexplicably offends a large force for this, it would be a big trouble.

Fortunately, Lu Botao did not give Xia Sheng a chance to repent, and he hurriedly ran out of the mansion.

A dignified city lord of Jinling City has now become a soldier who reports on both sides. If this scene was seen by others, I would probably really think he had seen a ghost.

On the other hand, Kang Wuwei was quite puzzled by Xia Sheng's decision and said in doubt: "Why don't we use the troops in Jinling City to hold him back? Let's escape?"

Xia Sheng shook his head: "You are the worshiper of Shantang. For you, if Shantang and the Judgment Office join forces, will there be no one in the world who cannot find the identity?"

Kang Wuwei understood what Xia Sheng meant, but couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Shantang's intelligence network is not omnipotent after all, and the Judgment Department's method of detecting cases will not always be invincible. Otherwise, Ling Zun's whereabouts..."

When Xia Sheng heard Kang Wuwei mention this, his expression became a little dark, but he quickly pulled away from the inexplicable sadness and continued: "My father's situation is quite special. It took him a little longer, and maybe he was captured to a foreign land before I entered the capital. But, in the Dajin Dynasty, how many powerful people can there be?"

This time, Kang Wuwei admitted Xia Sheng's inference and nodded and said, "This is true."

"Since the other party knows that his identity cannot be hidden, why should he deliberately hide it from Lu Botao? If he reveals his identity to Lu Botao, with the nature of our city lord, even if he does not dare to turn against each other openly, he will turn a blind eye and never get into this mess. He might as well choose not to help each other and stand by. Isn't this more beneficial to him?"

Kang Wuwei gently stroked the sword body: "So you think that old man is really here to kill you?"

"There is another possibility..." Xia Sheng smiled faintly: "Perhaps, the other party is in the same group as the two killers who had not appeared in Guihua Lane that day. Their identities are invisible!"

After a pause, Xia Sheng continued, "If it is the latter situation, I am a little curious about who they are. When he enters the Nether Evil Formation, I can test it!"

He is worthy of being a master of art and courage. Just because of a simple curiosity, Xia Sheng dared to take his life out of gamble, and even Kang Wuwei couldn't help but sigh.

The answer will be revealed soon.

Soon, Lu Botao led the grandfather and grandson who had met Xia Sheng in the inn, and came to the door and said nervously: "Xia inspected, people were brought here."

Xia Sheng nodded: "Come in."

However, the old man with white hair seemed to have his legs tied. Even though he had already arrived at Xia Sheng, he had never taken a step forward.

"Hehe, I'm not stupid, I won't go in."

Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng immediately turned a solemn expression, and almost reflexively retreated three feet, holding the Ye You sword in his hand tightly.

He didn't expect that this old guy was harder to deal with than he thought!

He actually saw through the killing formation set up in the house at a glance!

However, this time Xia Sheng did not escape at the first time, and Kang Wuwei did not take action in an instant, because before that, Xia Sheng needed to figure out something.

Who is this old man sacred?

When I was in the inn before, something happened suddenly. Xia Sheng was absolutely vigilant and did not dare to take any luck, so he chose to retreat as soon as possible.

But now the situation is different.

Since the other party dared not step into this room, Xia Sheng was safe for the time being!

Regardless of whether the other party came to kill him or not, he was able to move forward and retreat freely.

So next, Xia Sheng asked directly: "I dare to ask for advice, respect my name."

The old man did not shy away from this, but replied concisely and clearly: "Pei Yuan."

As these two words fell on the scene, Xia Sheng and Kang Wuwei were like conditioned reflexes, and at the same time stimulated the martial arts patterns on their wrists.

Because they know what the name Pei Yuan represents.

Xia Sheng understood even more that with this Dark Evil Array, he might not be able to trap the other party.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree!

As the eldest grandson of the sword saint Pei Xu, as the most vocal venerable of the Pei family, even Xia Sheng would never dare to be arrogant.

Xia Sheng knew that his biggest enemy was the Pei family when he went south, but he never expected that he would draw out an old monster of this level!

However, the next moment, Pei Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly as he looked at Xia Sheng and Kang Wuwei's high-profile approach.

"I want to say that I did not come to take my lives, do you believe it?"

Pei Yuan shook his head helplessly: "If I really want to treat you, how could I follow you all the way to Jinling City? Have I ever expressed any hostility along the way?"

Xia Sheng did not relax his vigilance because of Pei Yuan's words, but said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, I'm very curious, what does Venerable Pei mean?"

Pei Yuan immediately raised his robe with great enthusiasm and said solemnly: "Of course it is to protect your safety!"

"Is Venerable Pei worried that someone would take advantage of the troubled waters?"

"Not bad! If something happens to you, the boy of the Xia family, you will be completely stolen by my Pei family!"

Xia Sheng immediately smiled and shook his head: "Sorry, I don't believe it."

Hearing this, Pei Yuan's face suddenly looked embarrassed, then coughed dryly, held Yue'er's hand, and asked Xia Sheng bluntly: "Of course, besides that, I have some selfish intentions. So what do you think, my granddaughter looks like?"

In an instant, Xia Sheng and Kang Wuwei almost smashed their eyes to the ground, and their faces completely froze.
