After Lu Ya came back to his senses from the vast darkness, it was the first time that Lu Ya saw his senior sister looking so weak and helpless.

I remember when Lu Ya rode a tiger up the mountain and saw his senior sister for the first time. She was so solemn, graceful, domineering and knowledgeable, like a beautiful aunt who could help you carry a BMW...

Now, the senior sister is like a 3,800-year-old child, crying on her shoulder.

The relationship between these two sisters is really deep!

Lu Ya thought to himself, you asked me to take care of my senior sister, how to take care of me? Didn't you ask my senior sister to take care of me before?

What does it mean to take care of each other?

Ning Zhongzi's helplessness surged in like a tide, then receded quickly.

Especially when she realized that Lu Ya was so indifferent, she felt something was wrong and moved away from his shoulder with excitement.

There were still faint traces of tears on her beautiful face, and the fireworks blooming in the distance left flickering lights and shadows on her face.

He seemed to be questioning with confusion.

"Senior brother, are you just going to watch your wife and children go out like this?"

Lu Ya smiled.

"I have gravitational pull. They can't escape from my grasp."

Ning Zhongzi burst into laughter, shook his head, then hurriedly wiped away his tears, straightened his clothes, and instantly returned to his serious state.

As soon as Liu Xuanye left, Ning Zhongzi had no reason to stay in Xiaozhuquan Mountain, so he went to Qingluan City with Lu Ya and started to get busy.

This put Lu Ya under a lot of pressure and he felt a little embarrassed.

"Senior sister, don't you also take a break during the Chinese New Year?"

The two of them were walking by the river. Because all the farmers had gone to the city to play, the river was surprisingly quiet, and every household was lighting lanterns.

Ning Zhongzi walked gracefully with his right hand behind his back.

"Senior brother, I don't know. Qingluan City has been expanding rapidly recently. I've been studying the pharmacopoeia these days. It's too hard for Sakura alone. I plan to take advantage of the annual meeting to give her a few days off to have a good rest."

Lu Ya nodded.

"Little Rabbit is indeed very capable, but with her temperament, she will definitely not accept a break. She is an excellent worker... Ahem, here we are."

New Year's Eve.

A grand temple fair was held in Qingluan City.

The square was crowded with people, fireworks were flying, firecrackers were blasting, and naughty children were holding lanterns, singing songs, and wearing masks and making trouble everywhere.

Yuelai Inn.

Because Yingtuxian was too busy at work, the matter of changing the name of Yuelai Inn to Longmen Inn was delayed, so that Lu Ya felt that this move was a bit redundant.

The giant dragon sculpture made of bamboo strips in the square was torn apart by naughty children. Only the main keel remains, which is somewhat similar to the bone dragon.

Because Yuelai Inn is open for packaged purchase of bone soup tonight, there is a rush of people inside the inn and a long queue outside the inn.

It's a pity that all the money went into Ning Zhongzi's pocket.

Woohoo, I really want to kill this woman.

Out of sight, out of mind, Lu Ya originally wanted to go to the temple fair to have some fun.

However, as the lord of a city, before playing, you still have to go to your office for a symbolic inspection.

If something happens, just the two secretaries will do it. If nothing happens...

Hey Hey.

As a result, as soon as Ning Zhongzi and Ning Zhongzi walked into the office on the third floor of Yuelai Inn, a guest asked to see Lu Ya.

This is a middle-aged man with a strong build.

She was wearing an elegant white dress that was held up tightly by knotted muscles, with a white lotus embroidered on her chest, and a wild beast-like hormonal smell filling her brows.

It’s Fan Tui!

Seeing Lu Ya enter the door, Fan Kui immediately stood up, with an anxious expression on his face, as if he had been waiting for a long time for something urgent.

"City Lord Lu, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Ya looked disgusted.

"I don't want to be kept waiting by you."

"..."

Fan Sui came to Qingluan City this time mainly to purchase dragon bone soup in large quantities.

Although the dragon bone soup sold at Yuelai Inn is a version that is boiled with water, to the White Lotus Sect, it is no different from a magical medicine.

Besides that, he still had something to ask Lu Ya about.

"I have something important to ask City Lord Lu."

"What's up?"

"It's Senior Sister Zhang's business."

When Ning Zhongzi heard this, he glanced at Lu Ya faintly.

In order not to disturb the senior sister's work, Lu Ya motioned Fan Wei to go out and talk.

The two came to the roof of Yuelai Inn.

This is the highest altitude in Qingluan City and is a good place to watch fireworks. Unfortunately, standing next to Lu Ya is a pervert.

He tried to keep his stories short.

"I met Zhang Lianxin in the Sea of ​​Extreme Clouds."

"That's great!"

Fan Sui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his strong chest rose and fell, making Lu Ya's skin crawl.

"Senior Sister Zhang did not return to the White Lotus Sect after she went to the Sea of ​​Extreme Clouds. She only sent a secret message saying that she would go back to Huaixiang Valley to practice for a while. The sect master was not at ease. He happened to hear that the Lord of Lu City, Sect Master Liu, had also gone to the Sea of ​​Extreme Clouds.

Hai, I was specifically asked to come over and ask."

Lu Ya nodded.

"It's true that it was the three senior brothers and sisters from Huaixiang Valley who took her back. As you know from recent events, her staying will only drag down the White Lotus Sect."

"But here's the problem!"

"Um?"

"Senior Sister Zhang's master, Master Cugu, sent a secret message yesterday, telling her never to return to Huaixiang Valley... This is very strange, because it was Master Cugu who sent a letter before, suggesting that Senior Sister go to the Sea of ​​Extreme Clouds to pray."

While asking Zhang Lianxin to venture to the Sea of ​​Extreme Clouds to pray, and at the same time asking Zhang Lianxin not to return to Mingxiang Valley, what does this mean?

Lu Ya couldn't figure it out either. He looked at the two jade slips that Fan Tuo took out and found that the two pieces of information were indeed written by the same person...

This is strange.

However, Lu Ya's mind was not on Zhang Lianxin. In order to be free and unrestrained earlier, he just said casually:

"Don't worry, there is no big contradiction between these two things. Leave this matter to me and she won't die."

Lu Ya didn't lie either. With the piece of green bamboo protecting him, Zhang Lianxin would indeed not die.

Fan Sui also knows what's interesting.

"With City Lord Lu's words, I feel relieved."

Lu Ya thought for a while and reminded:

"Instead of worrying about Zhang Lianxin, it is better to worry about your White Lotus Sect. Now Yun Zhonghe is wanted by the Immortal Court. The White Lotus Sect has three thousand years of hard work. The Immortal Court will not let you go. Go back and talk to your sect leader and seek refuge with me as soon as possible.

In Luancheng, the rent is halved and water and electricity are free, wouldn’t it be wonderful?”

Fan Sui had an ugly expression and didn't understand what the electricity meant, but he still said respectfully:

"Fan must tell the sect leader."

…

Send Fan Sui away.

Lu Ya returned to the office and told Yingtuxian that the New Year's speech and store inspection were scheduled for tonight at 10 o'clock in the evening.

Before that, Lu Ya wanted to have an hour of private entertainment time.

Lu Ya calls it his sage time.

As the saying goes, plainness is the truth. He doesn't want to be surrounded by others, nor does he want to be looked up to. He just wants to hang out on the streets as an ordinary person and experience the most authentic side of this city.

This is called an incognito inspection.

Lu Ya went one step further than Weifu and became invisible directly.

Only by being invisible can you see more clearly.

After walking around in the temple fair invisibly, Lu Ya could feel the earth-shaking changes in Qingluan City, and the festive atmosphere was also very strong.
