The chief judge sent by the City of Truth was named "Cheng Xiaohan". Under his leadership, thousands of people entered through the east gate, but it did not cause much trouble, because under the order of the city lord, the east gate was under martial law at that time.

However, there were still many people living nearby who saw the shocking scene on the street through their windows.

Thousands of people who looked like foreigners flocked to the City of Truth, and some important figures in the city were vaguely visible. In the middle of them were a man and a woman, who could not be seen clearly because they were too far apart.

After entering the city, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao were temporarily safe.

Because most of the city lords of the twelve main cities were powerhouses of the eighth or ninth level, and there were scriptures in the city to protect them, even a tenth-level star god-level powerhouse could not attack them easily.

Without danger, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao naturally did not need so many sages to escort them, so under the guidance of several controllers of the City of Truth, thousands of people gradually dispersed in the city and returned to Yupei City after a night's rest.

At the same time, Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao, under the leadership of the magistrate Cheng Xiaohan, immediately went to the City Lord's Mansion of Truth.

The high-ranking magistrate and the City Lord of Truth "Qi Lin" were waiting for the two of them.

As one of the best students of the Holy Truth Academy, Tang Yunqing had the honor to meet Qi Lin twice in recent years. The first time was at the ceremony, and the second time was when Tang Yunqing won the best student of the year on stage. When receiving the award, Qi Lin as the presenter gave him high praise and encouragement, which made Tang Yunqing excited for a long time, but what he never expected was that the accident came so suddenly.

Tang Yunqing was a little nervous for a moment, and beside him, Ye Luyao also felt uneasy. He couldn't help but lean slightly towards Tang Yunqing and ask him in a low voice, "Hey, who is the Lord of Truth City? What kind of person is he?"

After Tang Yunqing heard this, he thought about it carefully. The first thing that came to his mind was Qi Lin wearing a pure white robe and smiling, so he replied, "Friendly?"

"Then what?"

Tang Yunqing's answer made Ye Luyao almost want to roll his eyes and ask directly.

"Genius, good temperament..." Tang Yunqing thought for a long time, but really couldn't add anything. After all, he and Qi Lin came from two different worlds and didn't have much contact with each other.

"..."

Ye Luyao couldn't get any useful comfort or confidence from Tang Yunqing's words. Finally, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and distance himself from him again. However, Tang Yunqing could see his worry and twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Don't worry, Lord Qi Lin, the great city lord, won't rob women's things from you?"

"Who knows?"

After all, Ye Luyao was far away from his hometown, in a strange city, and he didn't dare to let down his guard.

The conversation between the two was very low, but it was heard by the magistrate, Cheng Xiaohan, but his expression remained as usual, and he did not turn around to say anything to the two, but silently led the way. Soon, the three of them walked through the large office area of the City Lord's Mansion and arrived at the residence of City Lord Qi Lin.

The wooden loft located beside the gurgling stream, hidden among the rustling bamboo forest, looked peaceful and simple, making people dare not guess that it was the residence of a high-ranking magistrate, the City Lord of one of the twelve main cities.

"The City Lord is waiting for you on the first floor of the loft."

After walking through the gray arch and stepping on the stone path leading directly to the loft, Cheng Xiaohan stopped moving forward and stood on the right side of the arch to make way for Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao.

"Thank you, Lord Magistrate, for accompanying me throughout the journey."

After Tang Yunqing solemnly thanked Cheng Xiaohan, he and Ye Luyao walked into the loft.

Three minutes later, they arrived at the door of the loft. Both of them were a little nervous. Tang Yunqing was a little better, after taking a deep breath, he stepped forward and knocked on the bamboo door, and received a clear response.

"Please come in."

The gentle voice had the power to calm all negative emotions, making Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao relax and feel relieved.

Tang Yunqing opened the door and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a white robe, sitting at a large desk writing something quickly. In front of him was a stack of half-meter-high pages of documents, waiting for his review.

"Tang Yunqing, long time no see."

After Tang Yunqing entered, Qi Lin immediately put down his paper and pen, stood up and looked at Tang Yunqing, making a sound like a spring breeze, then looked at Ye Luyao with a respectful tone and shouted, "Your Highness Princess, please come to my house. Recently, because I have been very busy with the affairs of Weilan City, and I still hope to make up for my failures."

Qi Lin's friendly smile and respectful greeting made Ye Luyao feel more friendly and at the same time, his vigilance was slightly reduced. He waved his hand and smiled at Qi Lin, "It's okay."

Although he still looked a little distant, it was his best attitude recently.

"Hello, City Lord." Tang Yunqing bowed respectfully.

"Come, come, please sit down."

Qi Lin walked from behind the desk towards the two of them and invited them to sit at the reception table where tea had been prepared.

After the two of them sat down, Qi Lin did not exchange too many greetings, but went straight to the topic, saying, "I have heard every word you said to Pu Jinyuan before, but now I need to hear what you have to say again."

"Okay, can I talk first?"

Tang Yunqing turned to look at Ye Luyao, who was noncommittal.

After getting Qi Lin's consent, Tang Yunqing immediately told Qi Lin everything that happened after meeting Ye Luyao. If there were any unclear words or doubts, Qi Lin would point them out with a critical attitude, so that Tang Yunqing could explain them in more detail.

When all was said and done, Qi Lin asked Tang Yunqing to show him the Sea Dragon Pearl embedded in the Code of Truth.

When he saw Hai Longzhu, Qi Lin was so calm that his heart gradually shook, and finally set off a huge wave, but his expression remained kind and kind. Then he turned to look at Ye Luyao and said respectfully, "Your Highness, can you also explain what happened?"

In fact, Qi Lin didn't need to remind Ye Luyao that he couldn't help but interrupt when he listened to Tang Yunqing's narration, but it was because Qi Lin was there to listen carefully, and now he finally couldn't hold it back anymore, and he could only watch him step forward. He took a step forward, pointed at Tang Yunqing's nose, and said bitterly, "He was just talking nonsense!"

"What?" Tang Yunqing was slightly taken aback when he was accused inexplicably.

"He stole the Sea Dragon Pearl! Not only did he not return it to me, he forced me to apologize to him! He said my voice was too soft, and he asked me to apologize loudly many times! I even cried and begged him and he wouldn't follow me back to the Endless Blue Sea! It's so inhumane! You said you didn't want to take it, but you still wanted to force me to sleep in front of the door! You used me as a shield, but he even spied on my thoughts!"

"This is too much! Trash! Trash! Damn it!"

Ye Luyao poured out all her dissatisfaction with Tang Yunqing during this period like a barrage, causing Tang Yunqing to gradually change from the initial shock to confusion, helplessly holding his forehead, and finally looking at Qi Qi with some worry.

It was only at this time that Tang Yunqing suddenly realized something from Qi Lin's attitude towards Ye Luyao.

Ye Luyao was the princess of the Sea Dragon Clan. Even if she was a princess in distress, she was still a princess. Wasn't his previous attitude towards her too bad? Would the Endless Sea in the future be affected by his actions towards Ye Luyao?

In the past, Tang Yunqing had been immersed in Ye Luyao's anger for "killing" him once and indirectly causing the destruction of Weilan City, as well as his unruly attitude. He had ignored many things, but now thinking about it, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

However, Qi Lin on the side had always been listening with a smile without any expression.

On the other hand, after Ye Luyao poured out all the suppressed emotions in his heart in one breath, he felt a little more relaxed. He didn't realize that the things he had just said had nothing to do with the main plot of Tang Yunqing's Narration. Nothing to do with it.

"Huh..."

Ye Luyao took a light breath and continued to stare at Tang Yunqing with hatred.

At this time, Qi Lin finally spoke up. He looked at Ye Luyao with an apologetic gaze and said, "Dear Princess, I would like to express my most sincere apologies for Tang Yunqing's helpless attitude towards you during this period of time. I will give him the most severe punishment in the future. In addition, I will immediately inform the Lord of Valor about the Sea Dragon Pearl. I hope he can come as soon as possible to separate the Sea Dragon Pearl from Tang Yunqing's Code of Truth and return it to Her Highness the Princess. Furthermore, you can stay in the City of Truth with peace of mind during this period, and we human beings in the jurisdiction will ensure your safety." After hearing Qi Lin's words, Ye Luyao first looked at Tang Yunqing proudly, then showed a trace of hesitation and intolerance, and said: "Don't be too harsh in the punishment, don't hurt Hai Longzhu again."

"We have our own rules for this." Qi Lin smiled, then turned to Tang Yunqing, who was standing aside silently, "Why don't you thank Her Highness the Princess for interceding for you!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Princess."

After hearing Qi Lin's words, Tang Yunqing did not hesitate at all, and bowed his head to thank Ye Luyao. Seeing Tang Yunqing bow his head to him, Ye Luyao felt as if all the bones in his body were lighter. He felt comfortable all over, but his mouth was still merciless and he didn't even look at Tang Yunqing. "Huh! Who can beg him? I'm just afraid of hurting myself."

Hearing this, Qi Lin smiled gently and said, “Now, please, Your Highness, please go to the side hall and wait for a while. I will handle Tang Yunqing’s punishment, and then I will order someone to place you in the City of Truth. I hope everything goes well for you in the City of Truth.”

“Then, it’s all thanks to the City Lord.”

After Ye Luyao smiled at Qi Lin, he turned around and looked at Tang Yunqing. Then he felt refreshed and followed the direction pointed by Qi Lin and walked towards the entrance of the side hall on the right.

After Ye Luyao left, the atmosphere in the office suddenly changed.

Tang Yunqing knelt down in front of Qi Lin without thinking, lowered his head and said in a low voice, “I made a big mistake in associating with the Sea Dragon Tribe Princess. I don’t ask the City Lord to forgive my sins. I just hope I can have a chance to atone for it!”

Qi Lin moved his gaze away from Ye Luyao’s back and turned to Tang Yunqing. While reaching out to help Tang Yunqing up, he asked doubtfully, “Why should I forgive your mistake? What's wrong with you?"

"Ah?"

Qi Lin's words made Tang Yunqing both surprised and happy, and raised his head in confusion.
