Chapter 2633

Unexpectedly, the accident happened just like that.

The City Lord of Tianpu City had initially been very enthusiastic upon hearing their purpose. He promised full cooperation to find the evil cultivator’s trump card. Seeing his righteous demeanor, Zhu Zhibin and Yu Yinuo had no suspicions. They began their investigation seriously.

Who could have imagined that the evil cultivator’s trump card was actually the City Lord’s favored concubine?

Believing the City Lord was deceived, Zhu Zhibin and Yu Yinuo went to warn him. They never expected the City Lord to attack suddenly.

Yu Yinuo was injured and barely escaped Tianpu City with a breath left. Zhu Zhibin remained trapped in the City Lord’s mansion.

Yu Yinuo looked at Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan cautiously. "We really didn't expect the City Lord to do such a thing."

"You didn't just fail to expect it; you were too naive," Zhu Yanyi said, not angry but firm.

Since the incident had occurred, there was nothing to do but save them first.

Yan Aohan shook his head. "Zhibin hasn't experienced the cultivation world, so I can forgive him. But you, Yu Yinuo, are a direct disciple of the Sword Sect. How could you act like a fool during your trial? Once you knew the trump card was the City Lord’s concubine, you absolutely should not have revealed the truth before confirming the City Lord’s true stance."

"Uncle Yan, we aren't inexperienced. The City Lord’s attitude was just too good. He showed no signs of leaning toward evil," Yu Yinuo muttered softly, recalling how sincere the City Lord had seemed. Who knew he was a villain?

"If you could see through it, the evil cultivator wouldn't have controlled him," Yan Aohan stated.

Yu Yinuo paused. "The City Lord was controlled?"

"I don't know. We’ll find out after we catch her," Yan Aohan said irresponsibly. She then turned to Zhu Yanyi. "You treat her. I’ll go bring Zhibin out."

"Okay," Zhu Yanyi nodded. The evil cultivators here couldn't interfere, but saving lives was allowed. The Heavenly Dao monitoring this plane had no objections.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Zhibin was brought back.

Zhu Yanyi had just finished bandaging Yu Yinuo’s wounds. She then examined Zhu Zhibin. "Besides external injuries, she is unharmed."

Relieved, Zhu Yanyi applied external medicine to Zhu Zhibin. "Rest for two days, and you’ll be fine."

Zhu Zhibin spoke carefully. "Sister, I made you worry."

"I wasn't worried about you," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "Your husband’s mark is on you. If you were in real danger, the mark would protect you, and your husband would sense it and come to get you."

She paused. "But I’m curious. You’re not stupid. How were you deceived? You were a genius in the mortal realm, weren’t you?"

Stung by Zhu Yanyi’s words, Zhu Zhibin felt embarrassed but explained. "Sister, I wasn’t deceived by the City Lord. I just wanted to figure out what controlled her."

"Oh?" Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan looked at her. Even the Immortal Emperor nearby showed interest. "Tell us quickly."

Zhu Zhibin continued, "I may not have your abilities, but I can tell if someone is good or evil. When we first met, the City Lord’s eyes were clear and full of righteousness. His promise to help us was sincere. But today, although his expression didn’t change and his eyes still looked clear, there was a hint of confusion. Clearly, his actions and words were controlled. I am certain of this."

She paused and glanced at Yu Yinuo. "When we discovered the concubine was the trump card, we intended to tell the City Lord. But seeing her state, I didn’t want to speak."

"I spoke too fast," Yu Yinuo admitted sheepishly, scratching his head. He realized he had caused the trouble. He had been curious why Zhu Zhibin wouldn’t mention the concubine, so he blurted it out. The subsequent events were unexpected.

"It seems the City Lord is truly controlled," Yan Aohan nodded. She turned to Zhu Yanyi. "Wife, do you have pills that can clear one’s mind?"

"I have pills, but I don’t know what controls him. If we must use pills, we can only use the Soul-Seizing Pill. It can make the controlled person清醒 (clear-headed) for two hours. They must come to me within those two hours. I need to examine why he is controlled before I can treat him."

Zhu Yanyi spoke slowly. As a doctor, she wanted to treat patients, but without seeing the patient, she couldn’t act immediately. She needed to see her first.

Yan Aohan nodded. "That’s easy. Treat them first. Once they recover, have them take your medicine to the City Lord. Find a way to make him take it. As long as he is clear-headed for two hours, bring him out of the mansion to you."

Yan Aohan could have easily brought the City Lord himself, but he held back. This was Yu Yinuo and Zhu Zhibin’s first trial. They needed to face it themselves.

Zhu Yanyi agreed. "Fine. Their injuries will heal in two days. They’ll be jumping around again."

Zhu Zhibin looked at Yu Yinuo, who was bandaged like a mummy, and frowned. "Sister, can Yinuo really jump around in two days looking like that?"

"Her injuries aren’t that severe. I bandaged her this way because it’s the simplest method," Zhu Yanyi explained, looking at Zhu Zhibin. "I was in a hurry to treat you, so I used the simplest bandaging. It’s fine. In two days, we’ll remove it. Yinuo can endure it for two days."

Yu Yinuo looked as if he wanted to cry. "Senior Sister Zhu, enduring two days is fine, but I can’t go out looking like this!"
