Reborn as an abandoned daughter, she became a stunning genius

Chapter 247 I will be the guard

But if they go... those are ten Spirit Profound Realm guards!He was in the spiritual realm, and it was obvious that he would die if he went there.

Just when the strong mercenary man was in a dilemma, Jiang Ning on the side suddenly spoke.

"I happen to be going to the City Lord's Mansion. If brother wants to ask, I can ask for you."

The strong man immediately nodded in agreement, fearing that Jiang Ning would regret it if it was too late.

"Little brother, I didn't expect that you, who is thin and small, wears a mask and is sneaky, could have such a broad mind. I was mistaken."

Jiang Ning's expression stiffened slightly. Was this a compliment to her?Why doesn't it sound right?

"Speaking of which, I also have some questions in my mind. I wonder if you can answer them for me?" Jiang Ning said.

"Little brother, it doesn't matter, I will tell you everything I know." The strong man patted his strong chest and said.

"I just heard you mention that the current city lord of Li City has only taken office not long ago. What about the previous city lord?" Jiang Ning asked directly.

"Little brother, you don't know something. The Lord of Yue City passed away last year. The current Lord of the City is the brother of Lord Yue who was born and died, named Chen Ke." The strong man explained.

Jiang Ning looked confused and said, "But I seem to remember, doesn't Lord Yue City have a son? How could it be that Chen Ke succeeds as Lord of the City?"

When Jiang Ning mentioned the son of Lord Yue City, the strong man was so frightened that he quickly wanted to cover Jiang Ning's mouth.

"Shh... little brother, you can't bring this up."

Jiang Ning's eyes changed slightly and asked, "Why can't you mention it?"

The strong mercenary man secretly glanced around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then whispered in Jiang Ning's ear.

"Because the one who killed Lord Yue City was his own son."

"Impossible!" Jiang Ning directly denied it without thinking.

"Oh, shush...shh...don't speak so loudly, we'll be doomed if someone hears us." The strong mercenary man said quickly.

"What's going on?" Jiang Ning asked, frowning.

The strong man didn't want to mention the matter, but he couldn't stand Jiang Ning's repeated questioning. As a last resort, he could only briefly tell Jiang Ning the rumors from a year ago.

Because Li City is close to the Broken Soul Mountain Range, there will be a wave of beasts every year. Whenever this happens, the city lord will take out his spiritual weapon, the Beast Taming Bell, to resist the beasts.

A year ago, the Lord of Yue City used the beast control bell to control the beasts and lead them back to the Broken Soul Mountain Range as in previous years. But this time, for some unknown reason, the Lord of Yue City did not return to Li City until dark.

Worried, Chen Ke led the city guards to the Duanhun Mountains to look for the city lord Yue. Unexpectedly, he witnessed the city lord's son stabbing his sword into the city lord's chest.

"How can they be sure that the person who killed the city lord is the city lord's son?" Jiang Ning asked.

"The guards who went with Chen Ke to look for the Lord of Yue City are all people who have been stationed in Li City all year round. How could they mistake the only son of the Lord of Yue City?" said the strong mercenary.

"Okay, don't tell anyone what I'm telling you. Otherwise, we both will have to walk around Li City without food."

"Okay." Jiang Ning nodded, but complex emotions flashed in his eyes.

No matter what, she didn't believe that Yueyang would kill his father.

After leaving the teahouse, Jiang Ning went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as he reached the door of the city lord's mansion, Jiang Ning was stopped by someone.

"Who is here? What's the matter?" The guard stopped Jiang Ning and asked.

"I will be the guard of the City Lord's Mansion." Jiang Ning said bluntly.

The guard looked Jiang Ning from head to toe, showing contempt.

"Just you? You still want to be the guard of the City Lord's Mansion. With your thin arms and legs, can you beat me?" the guard mocked.

"Whether you can beat him or not, you will know if you try." Jiang Ning raised his eyes and looked at the guard with a calm expression.

"Ha...ah!!" As soon as the guard's hand stretched out, Jiang Ning grabbed it and twisted it behind him so fast that no one else could see what happened.

"Can you beat me?" Jiang Ning asked, pressing the guard's arm.

This scene made several other guards look stunned.

"What are you still waiting for? Help me!" The guard who was suppressed by Jiang Ning quickly called for help.

Only then did several guards react, pick up their weapons, and start to attack Jiang Ning.

Suddenly, a voice came from the door.

"What are you arguing about?"

A tall man with a beard on his chin came out and said.

"Guard Xing, help me! This man wants to break into the city lord's palace!" The guard immediately called for help when he saw the man.

Jiang Ning looked at the man who came out. The spiritual power of the middle stage of Lingxuan could be faintly seen around him. He should be one of the top ten guards of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Guard Xing ignored the guard's words and looked at Jiang Ning.

"I'll be the guard." Jiang Ning repeated his purpose.

"Just you?"

"It's just me."

"Beating the guard at the door is not considered a skill. If you can take three moves from me, I will take you in to see the city lord." Guard Xing said to Jiang Ning.

"Okay." Jiang Ning agreed directly without any inkling, and then pushed the guard who was pressing him away.

"Guard Xing, this person wears a mask to hide her secrets. It's obvious at first glance that she has something going on in her heart. Why did you agree to give her a chance?" The guard who had been taught a lesson by Jiang Ning asked angrily at Guard Xing.

The criminal guard only responded with an indifferent look, and the guard was immediately frightened into silence.

The criminal guards took Jiang Ning directly into the city lord's palace and to the martial arts field in the outer courtyard.

Before the official start, Guard Xing asked, "Are you in the early stage of Lingxuan?"

Jiang Ning did not answer the guard Xing's question directly, "Won't we know after the beating?"

"Okay." Guard Xing made fists with his hands, ready to attack.

The reason why he agreed to give Jiang Ning a chance was because Jiang Ning had a faint fluctuation of spiritual power in the Lingxuan realm.

Being in the Lingxuan realm in his 20s can no longer be described as rare. At least before today, Xing Weiwei had never even heard of him, let alone seen him.

Despite his current appearance, he looks not much older than Jiang Ning. In fact, he is 94 years old this year. He has been practicing for a long time, and the further he goes, the harder it is to advance.

He reached the middle stage of Lingxuan at the age of 94. In the eyes of others, he was already extremely talented and rare to see.

Today, this man's bone age is only 26 years old, but he has spiritual power fluctuations in the Lingxuan realm.

He wants to have a good meeting.

With this thought in mind, Guard Xing spared no effort to punch Jiang Ning, and this punch hit Jiang Ning's mask.

Even though the attack of this punch is extremely simple, no one with a cultivation level below him has ever been able to escape.

But just when the fist was about to fall on Jiang Ning's face, Jiang Ning's figure suddenly disappeared.

Xing Weiwei's punch missed, and before he could react, he was suddenly punched in the back.

"Touch!" Guard Xing was knocked to the ground directly.

Before falling to the ground, his eyes still retained the disbelief when his fist failed.

"Guard Xing, right? You lost." Jiang Ning announced the result calmly.
